At this time, Kobe was leading the team on the court. In the first two quarters, Kobe didn't feel well, so he didn't take many shots.

Now that Lin Tian is off the court and resting, Kobe must lead the team.

He had the ball in his hands and suddenly changed his direction and went inside.

The Kings' McLemore actually kept up with Kobe Bryant.

After Kobe made an emergency stop, it was still difficult for him to take a shot. He had no choice but to shoot a pull-up jumper near the free throw line.

The pull-up jump shot tests the player's waist and abdominal strength. It is a difficult shot. At the same time, if the movements are consistent, it will be beautiful.

Kobe's pull-up jump shot is one of the most handsome pull-ups in history.

His pull-up is extremely difficult to defend and will almost never be blocked!

The basketball drew a high arc in the air, and then fell into the net with a "swish" sound.

After Kobe scored, his eyes were firm, like a killer.

Lin Tian on the bench also applauded Kobe hard.

The Kings were not to be outdone. After serving, Cousins ​​quickly responded with a two-pointer.

The Lakers served from the baseline, and this time Kobe directly brought the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

When organizing his teammates to move, he even lifted the collar of his jersey to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After wiping off the sweat, Lu Wei came over and played a pick-and-roll for him.

Through Lou Williams' pick-and-roll, Kobe temporarily got rid of the defender. He still did not go inside, but shot a pull-up three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Kobe's career three-point shooting percentage is not high, but this time he made this three-pointer!

Lin Tian and his teammates on the bench stood up and applauded Kobe. Even some Kings fans also took the initiative to applaud.

Kobe came to the rescue at a critical moment and stopped the bleeding.

At the end of his career, his number of mid-range shots and three-pointers increased a lot, but he didn't make them every time.

Sure enough, after the Lakers defended a ball, Kobe once again hit a mid-range shot, which was a hit.

The Kings didn't give a chance and counterattacked.

After several rounds of back and forth, the third quarter was over. The score between the two sides was 76:73, with the Kings leading by three points.

Compared with the previous two quarters, the scoring efficiency of both sides in this quarter was lower.

When Kobe and the others were taking a break, Lin Tian went up to them and gave them high-fives one by one.

Scott asked everyone to gather around. In addition to pointing out the running problem, he also asked everyone to work hard on defense.

It's just that the physical conditions of several Lakers players are here, and no one can stop Cousins.

Hibbert's movement speed has declined severely due to injuries.

Although Nance Jr. can run and jump, his confrontation ability is still inferior to that of the tall and powerful Cousins. What's more, he is still so young and has no defensive experience.

Apart from the two of them, the only tallest players on the team are Randall and Lin Tian.

Randall's offense is okay, but his defense is much worse. It is impossible to guard Cousins.

Their previous strategy was to double-team and help defend Cousins, which indeed played a certain role.

But Cousins ​​is not the kind of player who plays alone. On the contrary, Cousins ​​may be one of the centers who likes to pass the ball the most.

Although his passing is sometimes inexplicable, most of the time, he is a huge threat to the Lakers when he passes the ball.

Scott still decided to have Nance Jr. and Hibbert double-team Cousins.

Of course, the prerequisite for this is that the basketball is passed to Cousins.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' lineup still had the same players as at the end of the third quarter: Kobe Bryant, Lou Williams, Nick Young, Nance Jr. and Hibbert.

Lin Tian still has a few minutes to rest.

During this time, he also wanted to watch Kobe Bryant's performance.

Originally, Lin Tian and Kobe were usually on the court together before, but this time Scott changed his tactics.

Fortunately, Cousins ​​and Rondo were also off the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Even if the Lakers' lineup cannot beat the opponent, the point difference will not be too wide.

After Scott walked a few steps back and forth on the court, he also sat back on the bench, and happened to sit next to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian then said to Scott: "Coach, if it doesn't work, why don't you try asking me to defend Cousins ​​and see how it works?"

Scott suddenly looked at Lin Tian with a strange look: "You? Are you okay?"

Lin Tian is 2.05 meters tall, which is actually about the same height as Nance Jr.

Xiao Nance already looks very thin, but he is also more than ten kilograms heavier than Lin Tian.

Lin Tian is 2.05 meters tall and weighs 100kg. Among players of the same level, he is really relatively light.

Even Durant, who looks as thin as a bamboo pole, actually weighs 109kg.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Lin Tian grinned.

Scott looked embarrassed, playing inside meant fierce confrontation, and Lin Tian was almost recognized as the future boss of the team.

Two days ago, Buss Jr. even called Scott himself and told him that as long as Lin Tian was happy, he could do whatever he wanted.

If he was injured, the consequences would be disastrous.

But in comparison, Scott didn't want to make Lin Tian unhappy. Since it was Lin Tian who proposed it, he could only nod: "Okay! You can give it a try, but you must pay attention to Cousins ​​​​this season."

It’s a monster inside! Don’t force it.”

With Scott's permission, Lin Tian has no worries. He is very confident in his physical fitness.

Draymond Green, who is 2.01 meters tall, can play center, why can't he?

Four minutes into the fourth quarter, Kobe drew a foul.

After he stepped to the free throw line and scored a free throw, the Kings and Lakers made substitutions at the same time.

For the Lakers, Lin Tian and Russell replaced Lou Williams and Hibbert.

For the Kings, Cousins ​​also appeared.

Russell served from the sideline and sent the ball directly to Lin Tian.

Standing in front of Lin Tian is Guy. Although Guy can't keep up with Lin Tian's speed, judging from his performance in the first three quarters, he is already the best player on the Kings team in defending Lin Tian. At least he made Lin Tian miss.

A few balls.

Lin Tian, ​​who had just rested for several minutes, had already recovered his physical strength. He dribbled the ball with his hands crossed significantly, and then changed direction and passed Guy!

When he rushed to the paint area, facing Cousins ​​​​who ran over to cover up the defense, Lin Tian made a drift shot and hit the board!

When the Kings served, Lin Tian quickly ran to the frontcourt of the Kings and said to Nance Jr.: "Go and guard Guy!"

Little Nance showed a rather surprised expression, but did not hesitate and quickly changed over.

When Cousins ​​trotted all the way under the basket, he realized that the person blocking him was no longer Nance Jr., but Lin Tian!

When he was surprised, he had a question mark on his face: "Hey! Rookie? Are you serious? Do you want to play against me?"

Lin Tian smiled and said: "Why not?"

Cousins ​​was not angry but happy. He tried to push Lin Tian away with his strong body, but soon found that this didn't work.
Chapter completed!
