Lin Tian himself was extremely calm, and reminded Howard that they should not be too happy because after all, the first quarter had just ended.

When he returned to the bench, he immediately checked the data sheet.

He made 14 of 18 shots in the first quarter, including 5 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws.

Data like this in a single quarter can be described as heaven-defying.

The Lakers also temporarily lead the Warriors by 13 points because of Lin Tian's personal performance.

Moreover, the other Lakers players' shots in the first quarter were not very accurate.

Kobe Bryant was also shocked by Lin Tian's performance in the first quarter today.

He couldn't help but put an arm around Lin Tian's shoulder, but he didn't know what to say to express his shock.

Even for him, the highest score he scored in a single quarter was only 30 points, and that was already ten years ago.

Warriors bench.

Different from the vigorous momentum at the beginning, the faces of Green, Curry and others have become much more solemn.

Steve Kerr was also frowning.

As early as Lin Tian scored 30 points, he had warned all Warriors players not to let him score one more point.

But even if the players on the field tried their best, they couldn't stop Lin Tian from breaking the record.

Cole couldn't help but reprimanded: "What a shame! You actually let a rookie score 37 points in a single quarter! Is there anything more ridiculous than this?"

Thompson, Green and Yingoda La are also suffering.

In order to guard Lin Tian, ​​they tried their best and almost broke their legs, but to no avail.

That rookie player from China seemed to have 180 impeccable offensive moves.

Their infinite defense tactic, which has always been very useful, has been completely dismantled.

That rookie must be crazy!

Chasing Dream Green was the first to speak: "He's finished his scoring today!"

Naturally, the players didn't take Green's words to heart. They all knew that Green was bragging.

As long as Lin Tian still maintains his hot touch, he can score easily even if he shoots a three-pointer.

Cole shook his head, took out his tactical board and started drawing tactics: "No matter what, our first priority is to win!"

The inter-section break ended quickly and the second quarter began.

Lin Tian took a break, but while sitting on the bench, he was also staring at the players on the court.

The substitute lineups on both sides are not of the same level.

The Lakers are full of young players who are playing in the Western Conference Finals for the first time.

As for the Warriors' substitutes, they actually haven't changed much compared to last season.

They are always championship players, and in terms of experience and mentality, they completely beat the Lakers.

Inevitably, the point difference was slowly recovered by the Warriors.

From 13 points to 11 points, it finally reached single digits.

Scott did not dare to let Lin Tian continue to rest. After playing for more than two minutes in the second quarter, he hurriedly replaced Lin Tian.

And most of the Warriors' main players haven't returned yet.

Seizing the opportunity to widen the point difference, Lin Tian continued to attack the Warriors head-on.

Whether it's single defense or double-teaming, the Warriors can't restrain Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's score is still constantly refreshing.

Cole was not in a hurry and continued to let the substitutes play, checking his watch from time to time.

The score difference soon returned to 15 points.

Lin Tian also led several of his teammates.

Channing Fletcher and Clarkson received his pass and hit in turn.

Nance Jr. also succeeded, and Lin Tian single-handedly revitalized the entire Lakers offense.

When the Splash Brothers and Dream Green returned to the court, the Lakers already led them by 20 points.

Lin Tian's score also reached 45 points.

Green yelled as soon as he came up: "Guard this rookie to death! He won't even have a chance to shoot!"

Next, the Warriors did try to do this.

The effect of the double team between the two was not very good, so they let three people chase Lin Tian.

Such a crazy defensive method made the Lakers fans in the arena sweat for Lin Tian.

As long as the ball is in Lin Tian's hands, he will face the Warriors' 360-degree defense.

Lin Tian has always been a very rational person when playing basketball.

He held the ball less and passed more, which made the Warriors, who were working hard, a bit embarrassed.

The defensive rhythm is out of whack, and it will not be so easy to win.

After Kobe came on the scene in the second quarter, he also significantly increased his shots.

With Lin Tian attracting a large number of defenders, Kobe shot more and more confidently, and the score further widened.

After halftime, the Lakers already led the Warriors by 25 points.

Since the start of the Western Conference Finals, they saw the dawn of victory for the first time!

Lin Tian scored 51 points at halftime, also breaking his personal scoring record.

And this is just the beginning.

After the start of the second half, the Warriors strengthened their defense on the perimeter.

Throughout the first half, the Lakers' outside shooting percentage was as high as 60%! Therefore, it is extremely normal for them to be targeted in the second half.

Lin Tian no longer insists on shooting from the outside, and passes the ball more to Howard inside.

Inside, the two No. 1 picks competed with each other. Howard didn't perform too well in the first two games.

In today's game, witnessing Lin Tian's outburst, he felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. After receiving Lin Tian's pass, he faced Bogut, who kept making dirty moves, and he was forced to eat again and again.

other side!

The score difference was approaching 30 points! The Warriors couldn't defend themselves inside, so they had to quickly replace Bogut, the fake starter, and commit the five-point death penalty in advance.

Playing small against big, no team in the league has as much experience as they do.

The five dead men are the Warriors' last trump card! If they can withstand their scoring frenzy, then today's game will be a sure win.

Lin Tian and Kobe knew this very well, and they began to constantly direct their teammates to position and defend.

At the same time, the Lakers still insist on letting Howard play inside.

After all, Howard is much taller than Chasing Dreams, so it is not difficult to forcefully eat Chasing Dreams.

Lin Tian also directly chose to play the fourth position. This was to make up for Howard's lack of speed.

When he plays the fourth position, he is closer to Howard and can better help Howard with defense and supplementary defense.

However, when it comes to outside defense, Lin Tian is somewhat beyond his reach.

Fortunately, Curry and Thompson's three-point shooting percentages finally returned to normal levels today.

The Lakers kept the point difference at around 25 points until the end of the third quarter.

When Lin Tian, ​​who was sweating profusely, returned to the bench, he realized that he had scored 62 points in three quarters!

In the third quarter, his scoring slowed down, but he still exceeded 10 points.

On the stage of the Western Conference Finals, he scored 62 points in just three quarters, which can be described as a miracle.

There were endless shouts of "MVP" from the audience.

Nick Young couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God! 62 points! I read that right! This is higher than my score in a single game of playing field ball!"

Lin Tian just said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless! The game is far from over, and the Warriors will not surrender easily."

He was right, Thompson was still on the court when the fourth quarter started.

The Lakers are led by Howard.

Thompson, who once scored 37 points in a single game, began to shoot three-pointers like crazy in the fourth quarter, hoping to use three-pointers to regain the point difference.

His three-point shot has indeed regained its touch.

But the Lakers' pitchers are not far behind.

Since the start of this series, Clarkson and Channing Fletcher, who have not been in good form, have finally blossomed into three-pointers.

When Thompson used a three-pointer to close the score, they always found ways to fight back with a three-pointer.
