After the fourth quarter started, Lin Tian couldn't wait to return to the court after resting for a few minutes.

To his surprise, the Splash Brothers didn't take any rest at all and came on the scene right from the start of the fourth quarter.

You know, Steve Kerr's substitutions are very regular.

Precisely because he is very regular, his substitutions are laughed at by fans as "switching substitutions", and some even think that Cole has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

But today in order to send the Lakers away, his substitution pattern also changed.

If nothing else goes wrong, the Splash Brothers may play the entire fourth quarter. For the Lakers, this is an unprecedented challenge.

The defense Lin Tian faces is still the Lakers' top defensive spearhead Ying Guodala.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, it is undeniable that Yingodala is the best player in the entire Warriors team in defending Lin Tian alone.

He is faster than Green, his wingspan is longer than Thompson, and the muscles in his arms are extremely developed.

Although he plays as a substitute for the Warriors, no one has ever regarded him as a substitute. He was the FMVP last season!

Under Yingodala's defense, although Lin Tian did not play as easily as he faced Thompson, he still scored efficiently, with a shooting rate of over 50%.

But the Warriors' extremely high three-point shooting percentage continued into the fourth quarter.

The Warriors started a three-pointer at the Staples Center, and Scott was so anxious on the sidelines that he scratched his head.

The Lakers' outside line really relies on Lin Tian alone to support them.

Although Lin Tian single-handedly improved the Lakers' perimeter defense to a higher level, he still couldn't prevent the Splash Brothers' three-pointers.

Lin Tian also tried to counterattack with a three-pointer, but at the critical moment, the touch was not very good.

Compared with two points and three points, the gap is still not small.

As the time remaining in the fourth quarter became less and less, the score was slowly opened by the Warriors.

The Lakers went from trailing by 5 points to trailing by 10 points.

It wasn't until Dream Green came on the scene and made two three-pointers that the point difference widened even further.

The entire arena, which was noisy at the beginning, slowly became quiet.

The famous Lakers players sitting in the VIP auditorium in the front row had expressionless faces when the live broadcast camera scanned them.

Everyone is still looking forward to the Lakers regaining their touch.

But the reality is cruel.

The Warriors' basket seemed to have expanded in a circle today, and they could score no matter what they shot.

So much so that with two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score difference between the two teams had reached 17 points.

In the regular season, with such a point difference, we could basically declare surrender.

Many fans looked ashen, while some shook their heads and sighed, stood up and prepared to leave the arena.

Scott called a timeout and began to lay out tactics for the last two minutes or so.

But Lin Tian couldn't listen. He only knew that his first career playoff trip might end here...

Lin Tian set his sights on Kobe.

The closer it gets to this moment, the calmer Kobe appears.

He just held a towel and silently wiped the sweat from his face.

Noticing Lin Tian's eyes, Kobe patted him on the shoulder: "Lin! It's no big deal. Besides, isn't the game over yet?"

Lin Tian smiled helplessly, knowing that Kobe was trying to comfort him.

They were so far behind! It was even to the point where they couldn't catch up.

After the timeout ended, the players were preparing to return to the court, but Lin Tian noticed that the staff on the scene had already begun to set up a cordon on the sidelines.

Not far from the stadium passage, some staff were even starting to clear the venue, apparently to arrange arrangements.

This scene made Lin Tian and Kobe furious.

Kobe took the lead and yelled at a staff member: "Hey! Put away your damn cordon! The game isn't over yet!"

These words were almost shouted, frightening the staff who were setting up the cordon.

Nicholson, who was sitting next to the technical table, also yelled: "Put it away quickly! Don't be embarrassed here!"

What happened here even attracted the referee.

Those staff members did not dare to arrange any more arrangements and hurriedly removed the cordon.

At this time, the entire Lakers team felt disrespected, and everyone felt suffocated in their hearts.

Dream Chaser Green also walked over with a smile: "Hey! Do you think you can still win? Accept the reality! Save everyone some time!"

"Shut your mouth, Dream Chaser!" Kobe stared angrily, as if he wanted to eat Dream Chaser Green.

Chai Meng was indeed frightened by Kobe's momentum and obediently shut his mouth.

After all, this incident was just a small episode, and the game started again.

The Lakers served, and after Lin Tian dribbled to the top of the arc, Dream Chasing and Yingoda La rushed towards him at the same time.

In their opinion, as long as Lin Tian is restrained in the next two minutes, they will be safe.

Lin Tian caught a glimpse of Kobe reaching for the ball out of the corner of his eye, and passed the ball decisively.

After Kobe received the ball, he was not open. There was Thompson in front of him.

But this time, he forced a three-pointer against Thompson.

Whoa! Three-point hit!

The point difference narrowed to 14 points! Small cheers erupted from the scene.

This offense took the Lakers less than 10 seconds.

Now that Lin Tian attracts defense, Kobe rarely shoots three-pointers like this. He was indeed irritated today.

When Lin Tian returned to defense, he high-fived Kobe.

The Warriors served and Curry began to control the court and press time.

During this period, Kobe loudly directed the movements of his teammates.

Lin Tianze kept a close eye on Curry, and his energy was even more concentrated.

With the last 5 seconds left, Curry broke through in sheep's clothing, rushed halfway and chose to pass the ball to Thompson.

However, what he didn't expect was that Kobe, who had always been very slow this season, actually successfully predicted his pass and intercepted the pass before Thompson at an incredible speed.

Lin Tian was also shocked by Kobe's explosive speed at critical moments, but the speed under his feet did not delay.

The moment Kobe stole the ball, Lin Tian was already striding towards the Lakers' frontcourt.

He couldn't catch up with Lin Tian when he had the ball in his hand, let alone now that he didn't have the ball in his hand.

When Lin Tian rushed to the basket, Kobe's pass also arrived.

He took off, caught the ball in the air, and slammed the ball into the basket!

O'Neal's voice came into his ears: "Oh my God! Colin is on the line! This reminds me of the Zhan Wei line a few years ago!"

The score difference reached 12 points in the blink of an eye, but time was getting less and less.

The Warriors serve again.

When Curry dribbles, he controls the court while observing the Lakers' defensive position.

Taking advantage of the moment when he was not paying attention, Lin Tian, ​​like a cheetah, broke the ball from his hand at an extremely fast speed.

Because the ball was intercepted at the top of the arc, the Warriors had no time to return to defense, and Curry couldn't even commit a foul.

Lin Tian grabbed the ball and could have dunked directly, but he didn't do that. Instead, when he rushed to the three-point line, he made a three-point jumper.

Whoa! Hit again!

The score difference comes to 9 points! There is 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the game!

The applause instantly became enthusiastic!

Some spectators who had already reached the exit heard the deafening applause and hurried back to check the score.

Cole sensed something was wrong and the league called a timeout.
Chapter completed!
