Chapter 23 Even if you lift it, you must lift Lin Tian into the All-Star!
Booker, plus this mistake just now, has already made 5 mistakes in this game.
He waved his fist in annoyance, really wondering how Lin Tian could be so fast just now.
Logically speaking, after their side starts a pick-and-roll, the opponent will choose to switch defenses most of the time.
Lin Tian didn't do that. Instead, he got rid of Tucker's interception and quickly took Booker's ball away.
Booker didn't believe this evil, and after dribbling to the frontcourt again, he gestured towards Chandler inside.
Big center Chandler immediately understood and came out of the penalty area. Hibbert, who was guarding Chandler, could only follow him out.
When the inside line comes out to play a pick-and-roll for one's own defender, the space inside is slightly larger, and the ball carrier can go inside.
Even if it is intercepted midway, the ball carrier can pass the ball to the center forward and try to play the ball inside.
Booker's idea is very good. Someone taller than Lin Tian plays a pick-and-roll for him, which gives him an inexplicable sense of security.
With a strong back and a strong back, Chandler crossed his legs, crossed his hands down on his abdomen, leaned forward slightly, and made a standard pick-and-roll action.
In order to get rid of Lin Tian's defense, Booker held the ball almost close to Chandler.
Lin Tian was originally following Booker, but because of Chandler's pick-and-roll, Booker temporarily got rid of Lin Tian.
Chandler, who is extremely experienced in defense, deliberately raised his arm and bumped Lin Tian when he blocked Lin Tian.
Lin Tian quickly bypassed Chandler, and then saw Booker already heading inside.
Hibbert, who was taken out, could not keep up with Booker's footsteps. He could only watch as Booker went in to kill him.
Nance Jr., who was near the bottom corner, couldn't get back to the basket.
When Booker rushed to the basket single-handedly, he didn't even dare to look back. He just wanted to get the ball into the basket as soon as possible.
After he collects the ball with both hands, he goes for a layup.
But at this moment, Chandler's voice suddenly came from behind: "Devin! Watch your back!"
Before he finished speaking, Booker felt as if the ball in his hand was being sucked away by a powerful force.
Even though he held the ball very tightly when collecting it, the ball was still lost!
The person who took the basketball away from Booker was naturally Lin Tian.
He was not completely shaken off by Booker at all. When Booker rushed to the inside, Lin Tian had already rushed behind him.
Precisely predicting Booker's timing to collect the ball, Lin Tian immediately snatched the ball away with both hands.
Because he had already rushed inside, after Lin Tian successfully grabbed the ball, his teammates were already walking back.
He threw the ball to Nick Young in the distance, and Nick Young made a fast break.
Some Lakers fans at the scene were already cheering heartily.
Booker's face was extremely ugly after the ball was intercepted.
This is already his 6th mistake!
Lin Tianze gained another steal.
The broadcast camera then showed Kobe on the bench, and Kobe was seen standing up and applauding continuously.
DJ explained: "Lin! He has 7 steals in a single game! Tying Kobe Bryant's career highest number of steals in a single game!"
It wasn't until this moment that the audience realized that Kobe's career-highest steals in a single game were only 7!
The Suns urgently called a timeout. If they hadn't called a timeout, the game would have been completely ruined.
In the studio, Barkley couldn't help but sigh: "The Lakers' No. 23 rookie has already got 7 steals in this game!"
Smith nodded: "This is such a talented young man! The Lakers extended his contract with the maximum salary this time, and the management is almost smiling!"
"Yes! This guy's speed coupled with his anticipation! I found that he can accurately take the ball away from the opponent every time!"
"After watching this game, I think I have to vote for him in the All-Star Game!"
"If he continues like this, he will be a strong contender for the Rookie of the Season award!"
"If his performance in every game can be half as good as today, he has already booked the Rookie of the Year award this season!"
…
Penguin Live Room.
Seeing Lin Tian steal Booker's ball again, host Wang Xing said excitedly: "Oh! What a beautiful and clean steal!"
Commentator Yang Yi raised his eyes and said, "I told you a long time ago that Lin Tian will have to exert more force in the fourth quarter. I must have said it right!"
Because the game was paused, the camera also showed a slow-motion close-up of Lin Tian cutting the ball away from the basket just now.
When Lin Tian stretched out his hands to grab the ball, the entire basketball was dented by his fingers.
Yang Yi hurriedly said: "Look, look! Oh my god! The ball is dented! It's really a hard grab!"
"It's rare for us to have such a physically gifted player in our country! This is the luck of the fans! It's also the luck of the Lakers!"
"By the way! Audience friends! The first phase of All-Star voting is about to end in two days! If you still have votes, pick up your mobile phones and vote for our Chinese player Lin Tian.
Give him a vote! Although he has not played enough times, we must show our own attitude!" Wang Xing began to actively canvass Lin Tian's votes.
The barrage in the live broadcast room is now densely packed:
"Oh my god! Lin Tian's physical talent is so terrifying! It feels like the basketball will be crushed by him!"
"Lin Tian's speed is so much faster than his shorter Booker! How cool!"
"Although Kobe didn't play today! Lin Tian's outstanding performance made me feel that I was not in vain!"
"In the post-Yao era! Lin Tian will definitely take up the banner of the national team!"
"Brothers! You must vote for our domestic players! Come on, come on!"
"There is strength in numbers! Call on all the relatives and friends around you! Vote for Lin Tian!"
"I'll put my words here today! Even if we lift him up, we still have to push Lin Tian into the All-Stars!"
…
Lin Tian, who was far away in the Staples Center Arena, had no idea how many people were watching his game on the other side of the ocean.
When he paused to drink water, Kobe suddenly walked up behind him and squeezed his shoulder: "Man! I don't know what to say! You are so cool!"
This scene happened to be captured by the camera on the sidelines. Lin Tian just said: "He is too slow!"
The timeout ended and players from both sides returned to the court.
Booker was beaten to the point of being autistic today, and he was even a little afraid to catch the ball again.
The basketball is in the hands of point guard Brandon Knight.
Knight waved to Booker, signaling for him to set up a pick-and-roll.
Booker walked up to Knight and asked Knight to get rid of Williams.
With this change of defense, the person defending Booker became Lin Tian.
The two-meter-tall man stretched his long arms directly towards Knight, not even giving him a chance to break through.
