Kobe smiled: "No one in the entire league can really limit KD. You can learn a lot from playing against him."

Obviously, he didn't take what Lin Tian just said to heart. How could it be so easy for KD to confront him.

Lin Tian nodded seriously.

Around 7 p.m., Ford Center Arena.

Because of Kobe, the arena was packed tonight.

Although it is the Thunder's home court, many fans wearing Kobe's No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys can still be seen in the audience.

Some of these Kobe fans may not be able to buy Lakers home tickets, and some may have come from other cities specifically to see Kobe.

There are even some fans who came to the United States from other countries just to play a game with Kobe.

Playing back-to-back games is a great test on a player's physical strength. Kobe's shoulder has been uncomfortable recently, but for the sake of the fans, he decided to play tonight.

During the warm-up session, Lin Tian and Kobe were practicing shooting, and Durant suddenly walked up to Kobe.

The two smiled and exchanged a few words, and Lin Tian also walked over and took the initiative to say hello to Durant.

Observing Durant up close, he is indeed a little taller than me, but his smile is so honest that no one would have imagined that he is a god of death on the court.

"Man! I saw your recent performance, you are very good." Durant actually took the initiative to praise Lin Tian.

Lin Tian smiled and said: "Thank you, KD, you too."

However, Durant changed the subject: "Although you already played a game yesterday, don't think that we will show mercy today. The Lakers rookie, I will guard you very hard."

Before the game even started, Durant had already made harsh words.

We are all in the Western Conference, and Durant is also a frontcourt player, but he ranked third in All-Star votes in the Western Conference!

The people weighing on him were Lin Tian and Kawaii, so Lin Tian didn't think he was joking.

What's more, everyone knows that Durant has a very serious character.

Lin Tian just said: "Just let your horse come over."

The few people chatted for a few more games, and then Durant went back to practice shooting.

The warm-up time passed quickly, and the time came to eight o'clock, and the game between the two sides officially began.

The Lakers made a slight adjustment to the starting lineup today, replacing the No. 1 position with Russell, and Lu Wei temporarily sat on the bench.

Shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Lin Tian, ​​power forward Nance Jr., center Hibbert.

The Thunder's No. 1 position is Westbrook, shooting guard Andre Roberson, small forward Durant, power forward Ibaka, and center Adams.

In the studio, the big-mouthed Klee couldn't help but laugh after introducing the starting lineups of both sides.

His partner Smith asked: "Charles, what are you laughing at? Do the starters on both sides look so funny?"

Barkley replied: "Sorry! I just can't help it. Don't you think the strength gap between this lineup is too big?

"Both the Thunder and the Lakers have Russell. Although the Lakers' Russell is ranked second, can he guard the Thunder's Westbrook? There is also the No. 2 position. The Thunder has the defensive champion Robertson!

At the forward position, the Lakers are also at a disadvantage."

Smith nodded: "Judging from the lineup on paper, I'm not surprised that the Lakers fell behind by 20 points in the first quarter."

While the two of them were still giving commentary, the live game had officially begun.

There was a jump ball in the middle circle between the two sides, and Adams of the Thunder successfully passed the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook dribbled the ball across half court with a stern face, then suddenly accelerated, threw away Russell, stopped one meter inside the three-point line, and made a zombie jumper.

The ball was accurately thrown and hit directly! The Thunder led 2:0.

After the Lakers served the ball from the bottom corner, Russell originally wanted to break through, but he did not break through. He could only run out to the three-point line and hand the ball to Kobe.

Kobe wanted to give the ball to Lin Tian, ​​but Lin Tian was chased hard by Durant.

Durant has an extremely exaggerated wingspan, which also allows him to play a great role in defense.

Lin Tian could feel that Durant was very desperate at the beginning of this quarter.

Those who are dissatisfied with the All-Star votes are not just Cousins ​​of the Kings, but also Durant, the top three current players.

Lin Tianzheng was planning to run to Kobe and pass the ball to Kobe, but Kobe was already holding the ball.

Defending Kobe was Robertson, a man who averaged less than 4 points per game but was firmly in the Thunder's starting lineup.

It's all thanks to his defense.

When Kobe Bryant rushed forward with the ball, he was not able to completely get rid of Robertson and could only take a hasty shot from outside the free throw line.

This is a very difficult fadeaway jumper, but Kobe is best at it.

The basketball hit the backboard and then fell into the net, and it actually hit!

The arena actually burst into applause in twos and threes.

I am afraid that only Kobe Bryant this season can be treated like this when scoring away goals.

When the Thunder served the ball from the bottom corner, Lin Tian quickly came to the frontcourt and settled into position.

If Durant doesn't make him feel comfortable, he won't make it easy for Durant either.

Lin Tian didn't dare to follow Durant carelessly for a moment, not letting the opponent get rid of him, and trying to avoid letting the opponent catch the ball.

But judging from the current situation, Lin Tian is overthinking.

Westbrook seems to have no idea of ​​passing the ball at all. Every time he holds the ball, he goes inside.

Young Russell has never been a point guard known for his speed, so he can't keep up with Westbrook.

This time Westbrook rushed directly to the paint area, jumped high and dunked the basket.

The atmosphere of the home fans was instantly ignited by this dunk!

Lin Tian was secretly shocked. This year's Westbrook is only 28 years old and in his prime. He has both speed and explosiveness. Their No. 1 defense against Westbrook is really at a disadvantage.

At present, most people on the Internet comment on Westbrook: The only one who can guard Westbrook is his teammate Durant.

After Westbrook scored this dunk, he yelled at Nance Jr. under the basket.

The DJ on site also turned up the volume.

In the next few rounds, Lin Tian rarely caught the ball, and Durant also didn't have many opportunities to catch the ball.

Because Westbrook's touch has been completely opened up, there is no need for Durant to perform at all.

Durant's task is to defend Lin Tian. In this regard, he is obviously much better than Cousins ​​​​before.

Cousins ​​is slow, but Durant is very fast and has a long wingspan.

Over the years, Durant's defensive ability has actually been underestimated.

After the first 4 minutes, the Thunder led 12:6.

This is what everyone expected. After all, in everyone's eyes, these two teams are not at the same level at all.

After the Thunder's Westbrook scored again, Durant talked trash to the rookie in front of him: "Lin, did you see that? You didn't even need me to take action, you already lost."

Lin Tian sarcastically said: "You are the second best player in the team, so of course you have no chance to make a move."
