Chapter 334: Continued Conflict
After all, it was not a conflict during the game, and the referee did not impose a penalty.
But the emotions of the home fans have been completely aroused.
Whenever the camera showed the Warriors players, they were greeted with harsh boos.
Especially the audience on the sidelines were the most excited, booing and yelling endlessly.
O'Neal, who has experienced several big scenes, couldn't help but be surprised by such a scene.
The two sides spent the warm-up time peacefully, and G1 officially started.
The starting lineup of the home team Lakers is: Dellavedova, Wade, Lin Tian, P.J. Tucker and Howard.
The starting lineup of the away team Warriors is: Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Zaza.
During the jump ball stage, perhaps due to too much nervousness, when the referee was about to throw the ball, Zaza took off early.
This doesn't have any impact.
The jump ball resumed, and Howard jumped high and put the ball directly into Wade's hands.
Wade quickly held the ball across half court, and Thompson ran over.
It would be difficult for Thompson to guard Wade at his peak, but Wade is obviously no longer at his peak and no longer has lightning speed.
Lacking explosive power, he tried to break through Thompson, but was extremely uncomfortable being guarded by Thompson and was unable to rush inside.
In the No. 2 position, Thompson is now the strongest defender! Both his single defense ability and his assist defense ability are top-notch.
He is taller than Wade, stronger than Wade, and has his own set of defensive skills.
Wade had no way to break in and ended up having to make a hasty mid-range shot.
"Dwyane Wade! Step-back jumper! Let's see if this ball is there!"
"Didn't score! The ball was a little crooked! It hit the backboard! Zaza grabbed the backboard!"
As soon as Zaza got the rebound, he passed the ball to Curry.
"Curry advanced with the ball! Dellavedova followed very closely! Oh! Almost stole it! He passed the ball to Durant!"
"Oh my God! Who is that! Lin! Lin saw through Curry's passing intention! He stole the ball! He is going to play a fast break!"
After Lin Tian stole the ball, he went straight to the Lakers' frontcourt. There was no defensive player in front of him!
Durant, who was behind, originally wanted to catch up, but found that he couldn't catch up at all, so he had to give up!
Bang! Lin Tian smashed the ball into the basket and got the first point of the game!
After scoring, he quickly returned to defense and kept an eye on Durant.
The Warriors' Curry and Thompson then tried several outside shots, all of which failed.
The Lakers insisted on attacking the basket.
While Lin Tian was rushing to the basket, he also didn't forget to give Howard the ball and let Howard play in singles.
Zaza was originally a false starter, and how could he guard Howard, who was much more athletic than him.
This also led to extremely crowded internal lines on both sides and constant friction.
With 6 minutes left in the first quarter, Howard even completed an air separation over Zaza's head!
This dunk completely made the Staples Center arena excited.
Howard also roared at Zaza.
Zaza himself wasn't very angry, but Green couldn't bear to see Zaza being bullied, and immediately rushed over to argue with Howard.
"Oh? What's going on? Is there going to be another fight?" O'Neal in the audience sounded a little excited.
"Be patient and don't be impulsive! Both sides are very angry! Don't escalate the conflict!" another commentator said.
Lin Tian immediately protected Howard and had a verbal dispute with Dream Green, Durant and others.
Howard yelled at Zaza across several people: "Fuck you Zaza! You clown who can only use small tricks!"
Dream Green made a face at Howard: "Dwight! You are a cancer that no one wants!"
His words really made Howard frown instantly. Howard hated people calling him a cancer.
Lin Tian quickly counterattacked Green: "Chasing Dream! You are the cancer and the bomb in the locker room! You won't forget what you said to KD, right?"
When these words came out of his mouth, Durant, who was blocking someone, instantly broke through the defense.
Wade seized the opportunity and continued to fight: "KD, before you joined us, we were champions."
The livid Durant walked away silently, and the originally tense atmosphere seemed to become much more relaxed.
Howard gave Wade a thumbs up: "Man! You are too cruel."
Wade chuckled: "You know, I rarely talk trash, but if they want to force me, there is nothing they can do."
Since the two sides only had a verbal dispute, they did not receive any fouls, and the game restarted.
Austrian content couldn't hear what the players said, but he noticed something was wrong with Durant's face: "Isn't this a problem between Dwight and Zaza? Why did KD walk away silently? Wade told him just now
What makes his face look so ugly?"
Wade's words really made Durant angry, and then Durant showed his strength as one of the strongest scorers in the league.
Even if the person guarding him is Lin Tian, Durant has always used precise shooting to score.
His dribbling ability, change of direction ability and finishing ability are all top-notch, making it difficult for Lin Tian to guard him.
Lin Tian has to admit that Durant is indeed one of the most difficult players to guard in the entire league.
But it's impossible for Durant to guard him!
The first half of the game between the Lakers and Warriors turned into a contest between Lin Tian and Durant.
Both of them maximized their personal scoring abilities and made difficult shots time and time again.

"After the conflict that just happened, Durant seemed a little angry. What did Wade say?"
"Kill that Zaza who likes to step on your feet! I will get so angry when I see him!"
"I'm Cammy! I don't ask the Lakers to win today, I just want to destroy Zaza! Let him experience the feeling of being stepped on!"
"Lin Tian, be careful! This is no joke! Be careful of being stepped on! That guy can do anything!"
"Zaza Pachulia! Why is a guy who plays such a dirty game so concerned about Cole?"
…
At the end of the first half, Lin Tian scored 35 points and Durant scored 30 points. The Lakers led the Warriors by 5 points at 60:55.
After the start of the second half, both sides invariably increased their defensive intensity.
Lin Tian and Durant also began to reduce the number of times they hold the ball. After all, they are not iron men.
Curry and Thompson tried to step up and shoot three-pointers, but they were chased hard by Dellavedova and Wade.
Chapter completed!
