Chapter 341 My Lake Is Too Difficult!
Near noon, the official issued an announcement: [Warriors player Zaza Pachulia has been suspended for one game for making unnecessary fouls.]
Once this announcement was released, the response was enthusiastic. Most of the comments online believed that the penalty was too light.
Some fans believe that suspending Zaza for one game is just to calm public anger.
Zaza has a lot of dark history. He injured Leonard before, and now he injured Lin Tian. Almost no one thinks that he did it unintentionally.
Even most Warriors fans rarely excuse Zaza online.
Lin Tian knows very well that Zaza's one-game suspension will not have a big impact on the Warriors. Zaza is just a rotation, not even the main force.
It will be very difficult for the Lakers to win the next game.
In the next two days, Lin Tian stayed in the hospital in order to make it easier for doctors to examine his injuries. He watched videos during the day and games at night.
The photo Xiaoxue took of him was quickly posted to her personal official account.
The release of that photo undoubtedly caused a stir.
This is the first time Lin Tian's photos have been exposed since he was injured, and even the Lakers' official media did not do so.
It is precisely because of this incident that the relationship between Xiaoxue and Lin Tian once again made countless fans feel that it was not that simple.
Lin Tian also followed Xiaoxue's public account and saw countless fans' comments. He just found it interesting.
On the evening of May 25, Staples Center Arena.
While the players of the Lakers and Warriors were still warming up, a roar of mountains and tsunamis reached the ears of the players.
The players subconsciously looked at the big screen on the top of the arena.
On the screen, Lin Tianzheng, wearing protective boots and using a cane, appeared on the court with Kobe Bryant.
Kobe called Lin Tian early the next morning after Lin Tian was injured.
The two also agreed yesterday to watch the game together today.
Almost all the fans at the scene had stood up and applauded Lin Tian.
No one knows Lin Tian's importance to the team better than Lakers fans.
But the fans are more helpless!
Although officials say it will take about three weeks for Lin Tian to recover from his injury, most fans still hope to see Lin Tian play in this series.
Wearing protective boots means that the injury is not serious, at least it cannot be healed by resting for a few days.
Wade, Howard and Nick Young quickly walked to Lin Tian to greet them.
Nick Young was the first to speak: "Lin! Why are you here? No one said you were coming before the game!"
Lin Tian smiled and said: "Although I can't play, I still hope to be able to sit on the bench and give you some encouragement."
"You made the right choice to come here! Lin, I will make the Warriors pay the price! I can send them away tonight!" Howard said.
"Dwight, that's not what you say with big words, you have to show your true ability." Kobe patted Howard on the shoulder.
O'Neal, who was sitting in the commentary box, saw Lin Tian and Kobe, and stood up and walked through the crowd: "Lin, are you okay? I'm worried about you!"
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Shaquille, I'm fine. It's just that the doctors had to put on these heavy protective boots for me."
"That's good, man! Since you are all here! The Warriors will definitely not win tonight, haha!"
Lin Tian and Kobe quickly came to the Lakers bench and took their seats.
There is also a small detail in this.
There were not enough benches on the bench. Fan Jordan and Caruso were very discerning and stood up to give up their seats to them.
You know, Kobe is now a Lakers star!
According to the regulations, he cannot appear on the bench, but must sit in the audience.
But Kobe's influence is enough to allow him to sit wherever he wants.
"Damn it! It's been a long time since I sat in this position to watch a game! This perspective is a little worse than that from the technical desk." After sitting down, Kobe complained.
Lin Tian did not answer the call, but said with emotion: "I hope the game can end tonight, so as to avoid a long night and many dreams."
Kobe also nodded: "Yes, end it early. Our opponent will most likely be the Cavaliers again."
"The Cavaliers are much weaker than the Warriors. After passing the Warriors, no one can stop us from winning the championship again!"
Kobe turned his attention to the Warriors bench and cursed in a low voice: "If that guy hadn't been suspended today, I would definitely make him look good!"
The person he was talking about was naturally Zaza Pachulia. People who are suspended cannot appear at the scene.
I don’t know if the officials had a guilty conscience, but the stepping-stone incident that happened that day was just one person who was suspended from the competition.
As for Nick Young, who was originally sitting on the Lakers bench, he was not punished for leaving his seat.
The two didn't chat for long before the Hu Yong G5 battle officially began.
The starting lineup for the home Lakers is: Dellavedova, Wade, Jeff Green, Tucker and Howard.
The starting lineup for the visiting Warriors is: Curry, Thompson, Durant, Ying Guodala and Dream Green.
Zaza was suspended, and Steve Kerr directly arranged the Death Five into the starting lineup!
Such a situation has almost never happened this season.
This is mainly because the Warriors only have a big center like Zaza available to them.
Kevin Looney, whom they selected with the 30th overall pick in 2015, was still available in the regular season this season, but was injured in the playoffs.
Using Death Five in the first game is purely a helpless move.
The Warriors' lineup is younger than the Lakers and much faster than the Lakers.
Not long after the first quarter started, they had already extended their score advantage to 10 points.
The Lakers still had the same old problems as in the last game. Wade was restricted by Thompson, and Howard was too tired to catch the ball.
Durant beat Jeff Green and scored as if he were picking something out of a bag.
The Warriors' unlimited switching defense was watertight, and the Lakers rarely even had a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

"Lin Tian's role for the Lakers is self-evident! Without him, the Lakers don't seem to know how to play."
"Wade is a point guard after all! Although his organizational skills are not bad, it is difficult for him to pass beautiful passes under the tight defense of the Warriors."
"The Lakers seem to have been pinned down by the Warriors! It makes me really uncomfortable to see it!"
"Alas! If Lin Tian had not been injured, how could such an embarrassing situation have arisen!"
"Keep playing like this! The Lakers are bound to lose! They may become the first team in NBA history to be overturned when leading 3:0! And this season, they won 74 games!"
"In a sense! Lin Tian is the point guard of the Lakers. Without his organization, the Lakers will be too chaotic!"
Chapter completed!
