"Beep!" the referee blew the timeout whistle, and George Karl called another timeout. At this point, the Kings had no timeouts in the entire game.

The Lakers' lead also reached 10 points.

With only 1 minute left, it is too difficult to chase 10 points.

Lin Tian returned to the bench surrounded by a group of teammates.

Nick Young, Russell, Randall and others all had excited smiles on their faces.

Winning can always improve the atmosphere of a team, and they have obviously won this game.

Scott quickly laid out the tactics for the last minute, which he summed up in one sentence: stall for time and prevent three-pointers.

They all know that the Kings can no longer quench their thirst by shooting two points.

The timeout ends and players from both sides return to the court.

As expected, the Kings are still not ready to surrender, and Cousins ​​and other main players are still on the court.

The Lakers' lineup has not been adjusted. This is already the best lineup they can defend.

As the referee blew the whistle, Gay passed the ball to Rondo, who started looking for someone to pass the ball.

There was no time for him to waste. Rondo originally wanted to pass the ball to Cousins, but Lin Tian quickly walked around and tried his best to block Cousins.

Cousins ​​was unable to get rid of Lin Tian's defense for a while.

In desperation, Rondo had no choice but to hold the ball and rush inside.

When he burst near the free throw line, he quickly passed the ball to Rudy Gay in the corner.

Ludy Gay threw the ball towards Nance Jr., and the basketball bounced out of the frame. Lin Tian suddenly jumped up and grabbed the rebound tightly.

There are still 50 seconds left before the end of the game.

Cousins ​​chose to foul Lin Tian and sent Lin Tian to the free throw line.

He knew that there was basically nothing he could do about it today.

When Lin Tian took the free throw, many Kings home fans had already stood up and started to leave.

There were no more boos at the scene.

In the last two free throws, Lin Tian still hit them steadily.

The Lakers still have a timeout, and Scott doesn't call it anymore. Calling a timeout at this time has no meaning.

After the Kings served the ball from the bottom line, Lin Tian no longer defended Cousins ​​desperately this time, but just defended symbolically.

Cousins ​​used his soft touch to hit a two-pointer with 30 seconds left.

Lin Tian passed the ball to Kobe and the Kings stopped fouling.

It wasn't until 24 seconds had elapsed that the Lakers committed an offensive violation and the referee gave the Kings the ball again, and the last few seconds were elapsed.

"Buzz..." When the final buzzer reached Lin Tian's ears, he let out a long breath of relief.

The last few minutes of the last quarter against Cousins ​​were much more tiring than the previous game!

Kobe came over and hugged Lin Tian to celebrate his victory in today's game. He shouted loudly: "Lin! You are the MVP!"

After celebrating with other teammates, Lin Tian originally wanted to chat with Cousins.

But my cousin seemed to be in a terrible mood. As soon as the game ended, he walked to the tunnel without high-fiving his teammates.

It is very normal for such a situation to occur. Cousins ​​has always had a hot temper, so forget it if he loses. After the whole game, he was completely suppressed by Lin Tian, ​​a rookie.

Although Rondo, who also lost the game, was in a bad mood, he quickly walked through the crowd and walked to Kobe. He wanted to exchange jerseys with Kobe.

When Rondo was with the Celtics, the Celtics and Lakers were rivals.

Now that Kobe is approaching retirement, the two exchange jerseys, which can be regarded as a hero cherishing a hero.

Lin Tian returned to the bench, took a sip of energy drink, and looked up at today's data.

The total score was 100:90, and the Lakers won the game by 10 points. This point difference is not too big, but it is not small either.

Lin Tian basically filled up his statistics today: 49 points, 8 rebounds, 6 steals, 3 blocks, 1 foul and 1 turnover.

This is the highest score he has scored in a single game this season, and he significantly reduced his shots in the second half.

You know, he scored 36 points in the entire first half! In other words, he only scored 13 points in the second half, and most of them came at the end of the fourth quarter.

Kobe's statistics today are pretty good: 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

On the opposite side, Cousins ​​scored 40 points.

After winning this rather difficult game, the Lakers' record reached 9 wins and 26 losses.

They have won two consecutive games and are one step closer to being third from the bottom in the Western Conference. This is not easy.

After Lin Tian and his teammates returned to the locker room, they took a comfortable shower, then dressed up and attended the post-game interview with Kobe Scott.

There were many reporters present today, but there were many local sports reporters from Sacramento whom Lin Tian was not familiar with.

When these people saw Lin Tian and others appearing in the media room, they slapped them hard.

After sitting down, as usual, head coach Scott was still interviewed first.

Facing the interviews with reporters, he praised the team's overall performance today.

When a reporter asked why Lin Tian played the fifth position in the fourth quarter, Scott said: "Maybe you don't believe it, but Lin himself came over and told me that he wanted to play the fifth position!

"Do you know how I felt at that time? I was like, Hey! Man! Look at your little body! Can you really hold up Cousins? Don't get broken by Cousins! But what happened next?

As you have seen, Lin limited Cousins' performance very well, and he was impeccable today." When Scott said these words, he looked at Lin Tian with a smile on his face.

All the media reporters at the scene couldn't help laughing.

Then it was Kobe's turn to be interviewed. He also praised Lin Tian without hesitation: "Lin is our savior! He led the team to victory today..."

Lin Tian, ​​who was sitting next to Kobe, just kept drinking water.

After Kobe Bryant's interview ended, all reporters turned their attention to Lin Tian.

It can be seen that the person they most want to interview today is Lin Tian. After all, Lin Tian's performance today was indeed perfect.

"Lin! You set a new career scoring record tonight! You also led the team to two consecutive victories! How do you feel now?"

"Well... tonight's victory belongs to all of us. I just did my part to help the team win..."

"You played very well in the fifth position tonight. Will you continue to consider playing the fifth position in the future?"

"Everything follows the coach's arrangements. Coach Scott asked me to play the fifth position, so I will play the fifth position."

After answering two questions, a reporter who had never met Lin Tian asked a third question: "Lin! You should also know the results of the first stage of All-Star voting. Currently, your vote number is higher than that of all NBA players."
