Chapter 39 Lin's Ankle Terminator!
On the court.
Although Lin Tian shot basketball, this volleyball hat still had a big impact on Durant.
The bounce of the Chinese boy in front of him was far beyond his imagination.
The Thunder served from the sideline and Westbrook received the ball. Because there was not much attack time, he once again shot a zombie jumper.
This time the shot went wrong, and Nance Jr. took off and pocketed the ball.
Upon seeing this, Lin Tian ran to Nance Jr., took the ball from Nance Jr.'s hands, and then carried it to the frontcourt himself.
Durant was furious and stared at Lin Tian fiercely: "Don't ever think about getting rid of me!"
Lin Tian didn't say anything, and his teammates also took the initiative to move around to create space.
Obviously, this ball can only be left to him to play alone.
This time Durant didn't stick very close to him, but was bent over a step away from Lin Tian, concentrating on him.
Lin Tian no longer took any tentative steps, and instead began to dribble the ball widely.
If Anthony's trick doesn't work, then come to Iverson! There is always a trick that is suitable for dealing with Durant.
His body is swaying unsteadily, and his dribbling moves make it unclear what he will do next.
Durant also swayed with Lin Tian's body.
Suddenly, Lin Tian suddenly slapped the ball in front of his left foot, then touched the ball with his right hand and jumped to the left.
Durant was shocked! What a fast start!
Although he was extremely shocked, his reaction speed was also extremely fast! He even forced himself to keep up with Lin Tian's pace.
However, Durant had just straightened his body when Lin Tian suddenly dribbled the ball with his left hand and slapped him in the back!
He exerted force with his left leg, leaned his body to the right in an extremely coordinated manner, and stretched his right hand behind him very coherently, touching the ball!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had completed dribbling behind his back and changing direction!
He changed from rushing to the left to rushing to the right!
This was a change of direction that caught Durant completely off guard! Before his body could stand firmly, he used his right foot to catch up with Lin Tian.
But Lin Tian is too fast! Durant can no longer keep up.
After passing Durant, Adams was not ready at all under the Thunder's basket.
Seeing Lin Tian rushing inside with the ball aggressively, Adams could only take off and stretch out a hand to interfere.
His hand hit Lin Tian's shoulder, but Lin Tian still forced the ball out.
Before the basketball touched the frame, the referee's whistle sounded in the bottom corner, and he signaled with his hand that it was a shooting foul.
Finally, the basketball circled around the rim and then fell into the net.
Scored two points! Also caused a foul! 2+1!
"Nice!" Kobe smiled and walked over and patted Lin Tian's butt, "What a cool change of direction!"
Durant looked cold.
He always thought that there was no way that players in the league who were similar in height to him could be faster than him.
Today, this idea may have to change!
When Lin Tian stood on the free throw line, Nick Young on the Lakers bench yelled: "Lin! The new ankle terminator!"
He didn't take Nick Young's words to heart. After the referee threw the ball over, Lin Tian made the free throw.
Durant still didn't score a point, but Lin Tian took the lead and scored three points from his head. This was unacceptable to Durant.
After the Thunder served, I remembered the exciting background music.
Westbrook and Durant have been playing together for several years. Without Durant asking for the ball, he passed the ball to Durant after dribbling half a circle.
This time Durant worked hard to score 12 points. Although he failed to pass Lin Tian, he finally made a mid-range shot.
After the ball was made, Durant breathed a sigh of relief and the pressure on his body was reduced a lot.
Lin Tian and Durant were already on a collision course, and the ball passed directly to his hands after halftime.
This time Kobe took the initiative to come over and cover Lin Tian.
Taking advantage of the small space and short opening that Kobe created for himself, Lin Tian made a rare three-pointer.
"Whoa!" Fortunately, the three-pointer went in!
He could feel that the success of this three-pointer was related to the fact that he had copied all the abilities of Anthony at his peak.
Because Anthony's career three-point shooting percentage is obviously higher than Iverson.
Iverson's three-point shooting is notoriously average.
After scoring 6 points, Lin Tian did not celebrate, but immediately returned to defense.
The next few rounds will be the time for Lin Tian and Durant to score points.
Neither of them is convinced by the other. When they get the ball, they play in singles! And the hit rate is not low.
Scott didn't have any objections to this. Anyway, Bass said that Lin Tian would be happy as he pleased.
On the other hand, the Thunder's Donovan looked a little serious.
NBA is the world's top basketball league, but the status of head coaches is rare.
The first quarter tactics laid out by Thunder head coach Donovan before the game were not meant to allow players to indulge in singles.
But compared to asking players to strictly implement tactics, it seems more important to let Master Wei and Master Du have fun...
After a few rounds, Lin Tian's score had reached 11 points.
He smiled and looked at Durant: "Hey! KD! You said you wouldn't let me score in double figures!"
Durant naturally did not forget the harsh words he just said to the rookie.
His expression changed slightly: "So what if you take so much? You will definitely lose tonight!"
Now Durant can only use victory or defeat to stimulate Lin Tian."
Lin Tian spread his hands: "Don't be so hasty to make a conclusion! The first quarter is not over yet!"
After saying this, the two of them started talking to each other again.
Studio.
"It's unbelievable!" Barkley shook his head, "Lin can actually be inseparable from Kevin Durant!"
"No!" Smith corrected, "It's not that they were inseparable! It was that they faintly overshadowed Durant!"
"Haha! That's right, he just gave Durant a big pot, but Durant hasn't covered him yet!"
"The showdown between the two of them is so beautiful! I even think they are a bit similar!"
"Just looking at technical characteristics, Lin is faster and his jumping is better than Durant..."
When there were 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Nance Jr. fouled, and Lin Tian, Kobe and Hibbert were replaced.
On their side are Lou Williams, Nick Young and Randall.
The Thunder's Durant also took a rest, but Westbrook was still on the court.
If nothing else goes wrong, Westbrook will play the entire first quarter, which will be a huge test for the Lakers' bench.
The score is currently 25:21, and the Lakers are temporarily 4 points behind.
Of these 21 points, Lin Tian alone accounted for 13 of them.
Kobe was not frustrated because he was behind in the score. He wiped his sweat and looked at the situation on the court: "Lin! Your performance just now was better than KD! The future will be yours!"
Chapter completed!
