Chapter 231 Tucker commits six fatal steals!(1/2)
The timeout ended quickly, and when Lin Tian and the others returned to the court, there were only three minutes left before the end of the game.
The score between the two sides at this time was 84:84.
From G1 to G3, this was the most intense game between the two sides, and there was still suspense until the last few minutes.
The short rest time was not enough for them, the players were still sweating.
The Spurs serve, and Tony Parker still holds the ball.
Nick Young followed Tony Parker closely, fearing that his clone would be passed by Tony Parker.
Tony Parker stood at the top of the arc and glanced at Danny Green not far away.
Danny Green understood and quickly rushed over to set up a pick-and-roll for Tony Parker.
Kobe's reaction was half a beat too slow and he didn't have time to defend against the pick-and-roll.
Seizing the opportunity Danny Green gave him in the pick-and-roll, Tony Parker quickly got rid of Kobe's defense.
Upon seeing this, Lin Tian returned to the inside line with lightning speed to help defend.
His outstretched long arms daunted Tony Parker, and he actually passed the ball directly to Leonard.
He gave up such a good offensive opportunity just because he was afraid of Lin Tian's defense.
Lin Tian didn't expect Parker to pass the ball to Leonard.
After Leonard caught the ball, he immediately made a shooting motion.
The distance between Lin Tian and Leonard was too far and there was no time to make up defense.
In a hurry, he could only take off from a long distance away, just to interfere with the opponent's shooting as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, Leonard just took a feint shot, and he suddenly broke through with the ball.
Lin Tian, who had already taken off, had no choice but to watch the opponent attack inside.
It was too late for Howard to cover up the defense, and he was blocked by Duncan.
Tucker, who was on the weak side, gritted his teeth and decided to rush forward to defend.
Facing Leonard, Tucker took off in the penalty area.
He forcefully captured Leonard's arm in the air.
Beep!
The referee immediately blew the whistle and gave Tucker a defensive foul.
Although Leonard did not score this time, Tucker ushered in his sixth foul in the game.
After Tucker landed, he put his head in his hands and looked at the referee in disbelief.
The referee just shook his head mercilessly. This time the foul was obviously impossible to change.
The entire arena also booed neatly. The fans were obviously extremely dissatisfied with the referee's decision.
Lin Tian also sighed, walked up to Tucker silently, patted Tucker on the shoulder and said: "PJ! You have done a great job, leave the rest to us!"
Kobe also stepped forward to comfort Tucker.
When Tucker left the field, the home fans gave him applause without hesitation.
They knew very well that Tucker's performance in this game was pretty good, but he was troubled by foul trouble.
On the Lakers bench, Channing Fletcher also took off his warm-up clothes and walked quickly around the court.
He rarely appears at the most critical moments, unless it's the Lakers' offensive round.
Because there is a big gap between Channing Fletcher's defensive ability and Tucker.
Tucker can even defend a big man like Aldridge better than Fletcher.
After the two sides took up positions on both sides of the paint area, Leonard began to take free throws.
There were no surprises, Leonard made two free throws.
The score became 86:84, and the Lakers fell behind by two points.
After Howard picked up the ball, he passed the ball to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian dribbled the ball leisurely and passed over the logo on the floor.
Under Scott's loud signal, the Lakers players quickly took their positions one by one.
Among them, Nick Young and Channing Fletcher were standing in the bottom corners on both sides.
Howard stood near the paint area, and Kobe stood in profile, ready to respond.
Danny Green was hesitating whether to double-team Lin Tian at this time, but Howard had already ran out from the inside.
He made a standard pick-and-roll action in front of Lin Tian.
Lin Tian hurriedly passed Howard and used Howard's body to block Leonard.
Duncan was running towards him, but Lin Tian didn't panic at all when facing Duncan, and easily passed him by changing direction.
He drove into the paint, leaped high and dunked directly.
boom!
This explosive dunk also ignited the emotions of the home fans.
All the home fans cheered.
DJ also said loudly: "With the help of Howard's pick and roll, Lin went inside and completed a dunk!!"
Howard was so excited that he bumped shoulders with Lin Tian. His collaboration with Lin Tian has always been good.
The reason why the two rarely pick and roll is mainly because there are not many opportunities.
Without relaxing too much, he simply celebrated, and Lin Tian quickly returned to defense.
After the Spurs served, Tony Parker handed the ball to Leonard early for processing.
Later, Leonard looked up at the time and saw that there were still a little more than two minutes left.
In the first two rounds, both sides almost ran out of attack time.
So much so that Leonard was not at all anxious about the Spurs' offense in this round.
Lin Tian defended Leonard while shouting for other teammates to follow him.
With 8 seconds left in the attack time, Danny Green suddenly ran over to play a pick-and-roll for Leonard.
Through Danny Green's pick-and-roll, Leonard temporarily got rid of Lin Tian.
The Lakers turned to Kobe Bryant to defend Leonard, but Leonard still resolutely chose to break through.
This time he still chose to go left.
Although Kobe tried his best to defend, he was still a little short in the end and failed to catch up with Leonard.
Qian Ning Fulai, who came to help defend, had already raised his hands to interfere with Leonard.
However, Leonard, who has super offensive ability, chose to pick the basket and succeeded.
The Spurs lead the Lakers by two points again.
After returning to the Lakers half, the Spurs obviously became much more alert.
When the attack time was about to end, Lin Tian hit Leonard and shot a rather hasty pull-up three-pointer.
It's a pity that the ball was thrown crookedly.
But then Leonard also missed a long two-point shot under Lin Tian's defense.
After going back and forth, there were only 50 seconds left in the game.
The Lakers have the ball, Lin Tian controls the ball.
Many fans at the scene had already stood up and applauded Lin Tian.
With the score behind, Lin Tian did not dare to waste too much time.
He raised his hand towards Nick Young, who quickly rushed over to play a pick-and-roll for him.
After the pick-and-roll was completed, Lin Tian faced Tony Parker.
He didn't use his speed to get rid of Tony Parker. Instead, he hit Tony Parker from behind and dug inside step by step.
The Spurs' interior twin towers were also hesitant at this time. They were worried that Lin Tian would suddenly turn around and attack the interior, and they were also afraid that Qian Ningfu would come from the outside.
Sure enough! When he was about to reach the inside line, Lin Tian turned around.
Duncan and Aldridge almost subconsciously gave up their defenders and rushed towards Lin Tian.
Lin Tian was very confident about shooting at this time, but he still chose to pass the ball to Fulai in the bottom corner.
Fletcher took the ball and there was a big gap.
He adjusted his breathing, aimed at the basket and shot decisively.
Whoosh!
