Chapter 216 You pissed him off(1/2)
"Oh my god! Is this a fight or a ball game?"
At Xiaoxue's home, Lan Lan covered her mouth when she witnessed the conflict between the players on both sides.
She had never watched the NBA before, so it was hard to believe that players would fight when they were playing basketball.
Xiaoxue, who was sitting next to her, was not surprised at all: "Conflicts on the basketball court are normal. After all, it is a sport with intense physical confrontation."
"Speaking of which, Lin Tian was really not afraid at all after being provoked. He jumped up in a flash."
"Of course, although Lin Tian is still just a rookie, he is by no means a soft persimmon. He even hugged and knocked down a player last time."
"Nick Young is so handsome! He rushed over to vent his anger on Lin Tian, but the Thunder players didn't react too strongly."
"Lin Tian has a very good relationship with his teammates. When he was fouled, of course his teammates had to stand up, but today they are indeed more united than the Thunder."
…
Several referees watched the replay for a full eight minutes.
And these eight minutes are also very precious to Lin Tian and the others.
Finally, after several referees discussed it, the referee gave the final penalty:
Yin Baka fouled first while grabbing a rebound and was given a first-level flagrant foul.
Lin Tian and Nick Young were sentenced to technical fouls.
As soon as the penalty was announced, the home fans booed throughout the stadium.
They are obviously extremely dissatisfied with this penalty!
Nick Young on the Lakers side also seemed extremely dissatisfied.
He walked towards the referee with his hands spread out and asked loudly: "Referee! Open your eyes! Where did I foul? Figure it out! I'm going to prevent the situation from getting worse!"
The referee curled his lips: "I'm not blind! You'd better shut your mouth now, otherwise I won't mind giving you another technical foul."
Nick Young, who knew he was in the wrong, couldn't say anything more and kept his mouth shut obediently.
Flagrant fouls and technical fouls require free throws, but when someone on both sides receives a whistle, this is offset.
The game starts again.
The next possession belongs to the Lakers.
After the Lakers served, Lin Tian held the ball.
Before anyone from the Thunder could double-team, Kobe had already ran over to set up a pick-and-roll for Lin Tian.
Through Kobe's pick-and-roll, Lin Tian took advantage of Robertson to switch defenses, suddenly pushed hard with the sole of his foot, and shot towards the inside.
This time his speed was so fast that Robertson could no longer keep up.
When Adams and Yin Baka on the inside saw this, they both frowned instinctively.
Yin Baka still chose to come over to supplement the defense.
When he rushed in front of Yin Baka, Lin Tian jumped up forcefully, his momentum soaring to the sky.
Yin Baka didn't have time to think, he instinctively jumped up and stretched out his right hand to cover it!
Even when both of them jumped to their maximum height, Yin Baka's right hand still couldn't touch the ball.
He has never seen any player jump so high!
Knowing that he could no longer stop Lin Tian, Yin Baka could only try his best to pat Lin Tian's wrist with one hand and hug Lin Tian with the other hand.
Even if a foul is paid, the ball must not be scored!
Snapped!
Yin Baka slapped Lin Tian on the wrist, so much so that Lin Tian grimaced in pain.
But he kept the ball in his hand, gritted his teeth, and smashed the ball into the basket!
boom!
Beep!
The sound of Lin Tian's dunk and the referee's whistle sounded almost at the same time.
Wow!
In the huge Pisacek Energy Center, the fans screamed in surprise! The Thunder's most reliable defensive player in their minds was actually dunked by Lin Tian again!
The referee made a penalty gesture under tremendous pressure and announced that the dunk was valid, it was a 2+1!
Yin Baka was like a deflated rubber ball, looking ahead with a slightly confused look.
As a player with a strong self-esteem, what Yin Baka can't stand the most on the court is being dunked by his opponent.
Today, he has lost his disgrace at his grandma's house.
Such a foul can't stop Lin Tian. What other good defensive methods does he have for Lin Tian?
"Nice!" Nick Young shouted, "Great job! Lin! They can't guard against you!"
Howard and Kobe also approached and high-fived Lin Tian. After Howard and Lin Tian finished high-fiving, they turned back to Yin Baka and said meaningfully: "Man! You shouldn't mess with him! You pissed him off.
, If he doesn’t dunk you, who will?”
"Shut your stinky mouth! You don't want to win today!" Yin Baka suffered a loss on the court, but his temper was never forgiving.
It wasn't until Durant walked over and patted him on the back that his mood improved a little.
Donovan on the sidelines was already scratching his head in anxiety.
Because Yin Baka's number of fouls has reached 4!
Since coaching the Thunder this season, Donovan has also figured out each player's temperament.
Yin Baka has never been a player who is easy to get along with. When his anger rises, it is difficult to be rational.
Being humiliated over and over again by this Chinese boy, he was worried that Yin Baka would continue to foul.
Therefore, when Lin Tian stood on the free throw line, Donovan called a timeout and replaced Yin Baka.
When Yin Baka was substituted, although the expression on his face was very dissatisfied, he still high-fived Donovan.
Donovan reminded: "Serge, you need to calm down for a while."
Yin Baka shook his head: "I'm calm enough!"
After knocking Yin Baka off the court, the Thunder sent Nick Collison to the fourth position.
This person is from the same class as James and has been with the Thunder since 2003. At that time, the Thunder were still called the SuperSonics.
If nothing else happens, Nick Collison will retire after finishing this season.
The Thunder will also retire his jersey. When the time comes, he will be the first player in the history of the Thunder to retire his jersey.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
Nick Collison, who is 36 years old this year, provides little help to the Thunder.
He was facing Lin Tian!
Such a slow player with no defense is simply giving Lin Tian points!
Lin Tian did not miss this opportunity and made consecutive shots against the opponent's defense.
The Lakers not only caught up with the score, but also quickly overtook the Thunder.
Donovan had no choice but to let Nick Collison, who played less than three minutes, sit back on the bench, and Yin Baka returned to the court.
At the same time, he kept telling Yin Baka not to foul again.
The less Yin Baka wants to foul, the sooner Lin Tian wants Yin Baka.
Yin Baka, who had 4 fouls, was very timid and could not let go of his hands and feet when defending.
So much so that by the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were already leading by 7 points.
During the break, the Thunder bench seemed like a pool of stagnant water.
Westbrook was wiping sweat with a towel, while Durant was holding a water bottle in his hand, his eyes wandering.
What they didn't expect was that as the third player in the Western Conference, they would be forced to do this by the Lakers!
You know, they have only one goal this season, and that is the championship.
After the final quarter started, Lin Tian still didn't take a break.
The Thunder also gave up resting their hands and chose to play the last quarter with all their strength.
Although everyone's physical fitness is no longer as good as the first three quarters, the defensive intensity has not decreased, but has increased!
You can't fight with quick attacks, you can only fight in positional battles.
Durant's strong personal singles ability was fully demonstrated in the first half of the final quarter.
Facing Tucker's aggressive defense, he took mid-range shots again and again, with a very high shooting percentage.
Westbrook also played extremely patiently. Facing the aggressive Nick Young, he would never make a move unless he was completely sure.
