In this game, Lin Tian played 38 minutes and scored 54 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Howard also scored 22 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 blocks.

Kobe scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Lin Tian and Howard both had triple-doubles, and Kobe Bryant's 20 points were also very impressive, taking only 14 shots.

After all the Lakers players returned to the locker room, Howard was extremely excited. Nick Young and Clarkson also took out their mobile phones and started recording videos.

So far in the playoffs, Clarkson has played a relatively exciting game.

He did a good job of limiting the Spurs' backup point guard Mills on the defensive end, which is important.

After Scott came to the locker room, he praised the players for their performance today without hesitation.

It is extremely difficult for them to win against the Spurs.

After all, many media even thought that they would be swept out by the Spurs.

After Lin Tian took a shower and dressed up a little, he and Kobe and others came to the Spurs' media room.

As usual, the first person to be interviewed by these reporters was their head coach Scott.

After Scott, it was Howard who was in a good mood, then Kobe, and finally it was Lin Tian's turn.

Looking at the crowd of people in Wuyang below, Lin Tian randomly named a reporter.

The reporter quickly asked: "Lin! First of all, congratulations on your comeback in San Antonio. You scored 50 points today under Leonard's defense. He was the DPOY last season. Do you agree with Leonard?

These two games cannot limit you."

Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and said into the microphone: "As you said, Leonard was the DPOY last season, and his defensive ability is beyond doubt! Since entering the NBA, Leonard is indeed the best defensive player I have ever seen.

One of the most capable players! Whether it is his single defense ability or assist defense ability, he is top-notch. As for defending me, I personally think he has done a good job."

After saying this, the reporters present all showed rather strange looks.

Because Lin Tian's answer seemed like he was bragging to Leonard, but in fact, he was praising himself instead.

How could the reporters not know the meaning of Lin Tian's words?

Lin Tian gave another female reporter the opportunity to ask questions. The named female reporter quickly asked: "Lin! Why do you think you won today? What changes have you made compared to the last game?"

"If you want to win, you must first believe that you can win. Compared with the last game, my teammates and I are obviously more confident! Everyone performed their duties, and everyone completed the coaching job perfectly.

For the tasks assigned, we have excellent shooters like Tucker, Channing, and Nick, and everyone also played very hard on the defensive end today, so I think it is natural for us to win."

"Lin! Today you rarely got 10 assists, but it's a pity that you were two rebounds short of a triple-double. Do you think it's a pity?"

"No! It's not a pity at all! As long as the team can keep winning, it doesn't matter if I don't get a triple-double in my life. I just want to win."

…

The next morning, when the players boarded the plane back to Los Angeles, Nick Young and Clarkson did not play poker, but instead slept on the plane.

Lin Tian guessed that they went to a nightclub last night to hang out.

But when the team won, Kobe's requirements for them were much lowered.

Going to nightclubs from time to time is not unacceptable, as long as you want to win.

It was getting late when we returned to Los Angeles. After saying goodbye to his teammates, Lin Tian took a ride to a restaurant in the city center.

Sistine has been waiting for Lin Tian in this restaurant for a long time.

Today, Sistine is wearing a snow-white slim-fitting shirt, with her blond hair hanging casually on her shoulders. She looks much more mature.

When she saw Lin Tian, ​​she curled her lips and said, "I've been waiting for you here for an hour."

"Sorry." Lin Tian patted his head after sitting down, "As you know, I just flew here from San Antonio today! There's another traffic jam on the road."

Only then did a smile appear on Sistine's face: "I know, congratulations on leading the team to win against the Spurs! I hope your G3 can continue to win!"

"Yes! We all know what it takes to beat the Spurs."

…

In the evening, when Lin Tian returned home, it was already 10 o'clock.

He quickly turned on the TV to watch tonight's game.

There are only two teams playing tonight, the Warriors and Trail Blazers.

At this time, the game had entered the final quarter, and the Trail Blazers actually led the Warriors by 25 points.

If nothing else, the Trail Blazers will make a comeback today.

In fact, so far in the playoffs, the only two teams that have committed the following are the Lakers and Trail Blazers.

In the first round series of the Western Conference, the Lakers, ranked sixth, defeated the third-ranked Thunder.

The Trail Blazers, ranked fifth, defeated the Clippers, who were ranked fourth in the Western Conference.

You know, this season's Clippers have CP3, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Mbah a Moute, Jeff Green, Pierce in his twilight years...

It was such a team that was supposed to be aiming for the championship, but it was defeated by the Trail Blazers' double guns in the backcourt.

Of course, the main reason is that in the next few games, Chris Paul and Griffin were both absent due to injuries.

The Trail Blazers are indeed an underestimated team, and Lillard's strength is obvious to all.

Lin Tian looked at the real-time data of the two teams tonight and found that Lillard had scored 38 points.

Looking back at the Warriors, the highest scorer so far is actually Green.

Green, who has always been terrible at three-point shooting, actually hit every shot today.

And once the Warriors' Green shows his bravery, it means that their situation will not be very good.

In the end, the Warriors still lost bitterly. This was their first loss since the playoffs.

Lin Tian turned off the TV and was preparing to take an early rest today when his mobile phone received a WeChat message from Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue: My latest article has been written, please take a look.

Below this line of news is a new article.

Lin Tian has become accustomed to reading articles posted by Xiaoxue recently.

Sometimes, Xiaoxue's analysis of the Lakers' tactics can even bring some inspiration to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian has decided that if he has any ideas in the future, he will directly ask Xiaoxue to announce the news.

Because after so many days of getting to know each other, he already believes that Xiaoxue is a journalist who understands basketball and is trustworthy.

He quickly replied with a message.

Lin Tian: Great writing!

After the message was sent, Lin Tian put down his phone and fell asleep.

After spending two unremarkable days, the time came to 7pm on May 7th.

Staples Center Arena.

Although there is still half an hour before the game, the huge arena is already packed.

The spectators who came to the home court today were almost all wearing purple and gold fan shirts to cheer for the home team.

The color of the jerseys worn by the Lakers players today is also the most classic purple and gold color scheme.

Lin Tian, ​​who was warming up, felt the waves of cheers from the home fans and felt extremely comfortable.

This long-lost sense of intimacy can never be felt at the Spurs' home court.

After casually scoring a three-pointer, Lin Tian looked at Sistine who was sitting next to the Lakers bench. Sistine and her sisters were all there today.

Noticing Lin Tian's gaze, Sistine also winked at Lin Tian playfully.

Today, not only Stallone and his family came to watch the game, there were also some sports stars, movie stars, and celebrities.

In Lin Tian's previous life, Kobe's last season was recognized as a tour season. The time spent taking photos and signing autographs with fans before and after every game was almost as long as the time spent playing basketball.

In this life, the Lakers have reached the Western Conference semifinals, which also makes it impossible for Kobe to spend too much time dealing with the fans.

When Lin Tian came back to his senses, he saw Channing Fulei, Tucker, Nick Young and Clarkson all shooting three-pointers.

Even Howard kept hitting three-pointers from the corners.

After Nick Young made a three-pointer, he shouted to Lin Tian: "Lin! Tonight is our home court! Let's perform a three-point career!"

Lin Tian had no intention of paying attention to Nick Young's surprise and just continued to warm up.

The warm-up time ended quickly, and the G3 battle between the Lakers and the Spurs officially began.

The starting lineups on both sides remain unchanged.

At the beginning, both sides felt bad and kept hitting the iron.

The first goal was scored by Duncan's second attack.

COSCO's shots couldn't be opened, both sides frequently attacked the inside, and the referee's whistle also sounded quite frequently.

The scale of today's whistle seems to be a little different. Because Tucker defended too hard, he got two fouls after not playing long.
