Chapter 4 Lin Tian Personally Defends Paul

Before Lin Tian came on the court, no one believed that a player with a ten-day short contract could make big waves.

It only took two minutes, but his performance had completely conquered the fans in the audience.

There is a 130 second intersection rest time at this time.

Scott took out his pen and pointed at Lin Tian: "The lineup remains unchanged for the next quarter. Don't crowd all the rest of you in the paint area to give Lin Tian space!"

Lin Tian's performance just now is completely worthy of him playing in singles a few more times.

And Scott noticed that Lin Tian was best at breakthroughs.

The 9 points he scored in the last quarter were all scored in the penalty area.

Russell, the No. 2 pick, looked surprised. He, the No. 2 pick, has never been treated like this since he came to the Lakers!

The timeout ends and the game continues.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Tian used a large change of direction to rush into the inside and score two points.

He is 2.05 meters tall, but his speed is so fast that his defender can't keep up with him.

When Lin Tian rushed into the paint, his soft touch made scoring as easy as picking something up.

"Oh! My God! The score was evened by this Chinese player on his own! How on earth did he do it?"

"Did this young man get the true legacy of Kobe? But his moves are completely different from Kobe's, but very much like Iverson!"

"His crossover and Iverson's are almost carved out of the same mold!"

"I have to take a closer look at his profile. Well, he's a 6-foot-9 Allen Iverson!"

The two ESPN commentators on the scene were also unable to calm down.

Lin Tian immediately returned to defense after scoring the goal.

The two sides played for a few more rounds. Lin Tian tried two three-pointers, but only made one.

Although he has the abilities of peak Iverson, he also has abilities that come with his own body.

When he was with the South Bay Lakers, his three-point shooting percentage was 37%, which was considered quite satisfactory.

The scores were tied, but Clippers coach Rivers was not calm anymore. Paul and the others only rested for less than 4 minutes before he replaced him again.

The Lakers and Clippers began a tug-of-war.

Lin Tian also touches the ball less.

The most indispensable thing for the Lakers is players who can hold the ball and play in isolation.

Nick Young, Lou Williams, Russell and Clarkson, once the ball reaches their hands, they can't even think about passing it out.

Because of his excellent performance in the first quarter, Lin Tian was able to play the full second quarter.

Even if Kobe plays, the person he replaces is not him, but Nick Young.

This is also the first time Lin Tian and Kobe have appeared on the court at the same time.

At the end of his career, Kobe's number of singles with the ball has been greatly reduced. In many cases, he does not take as many shots as Russell and Lou Williams.

Kobe also passed several balls to Lin Tian in the second quarter.

At the end of the second quarter, the score was fixed at 60:55. The Lakers were 5 points behind, but Lin Tian personally scored a game-high 18 points.

He is also the only player on the Lakers team with a positive efficiency value.

There's no way, the Lakers' defense is really bad

Everyone is the king of singles, so why bother to put so much thought into defense.

Especially Russell and Lou Williams, they are complete colanders. Paul will go to them whenever he wants to score.

Although Lin Tian defends well and can sometimes help defend, he cannot complete the assist defense every time. He also suffered two fouls.

And Lin Tian could feel the almost killing look in Jordan's eyes.

Ever since he dunked on DeAndre Jordan at the end of the first quarter, DeAndre Jordan has been brooding over it.

After the half-time break, the second half of the game began.

In the third quarter of the game, the starting players are usually the starting players.

After returning to the court from the locker room, Lin Tian was about to sit on the bench to watch the game, but Scott put the team's shooting guard Clarkson on the bench: "Clarkson will take a rest first and let Lin go up to the 3 position." , Kobe plays the 2 position."

Clarkson sat on the bench obediently.

This season, because the Lakers' defense line is so talented, Kobe has been playing the third position a lot of the time.

Lin Tian's extraordinary performance today earned him the opportunity to start the second half, and Kobe Bryant could also return to his comfortable No. 2 position.

The adjustments in the third quarter were also seen by two ESPN commentators.

"Lin started the game in the third quarter! It seems Scott is very optimistic about him!"

"If he can continue his performance in the first half, I even think he might start the next game!"

"No one would have thought! The highest scorer in the first half turned out to be a rookie who only played one game!"

"I hope the Lakers can perform better! Keep the score tight, otherwise tonight's game will be boring."



At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides were feeling hot and their defensive intensity also dropped.

Kobe seemed to admire Lin Tian very much, passing the ball to him from time to time, and even sometimes yelling for him to attack.

Lin Tian did not live up to Kobe's trust, and his shooting percentage was quite high.

It seems that neither side can guard the other, but in fact the Clippers still have a relatively large advantage.

Kobe was replaced before the quarter was over and his physical fitness could hardly support him playing for too long.

As soon as Kobe Bryant came on the court, the tasks on Lin Tian's shoulders increased a lot. He was both a father and a mother, but the point difference was still widened by the Clippers.

When Lu Wei and Nick Young are playing well, they are fine, but when they are not playing well, they don't work so hard defensively.

Lin Tian's physical strength was rapidly depleted.

Although he has the ability of peak Iverson, every time he breaks through to the inside, he consumes a lot of energy.

After the third quarter, Lin Tian was replaced with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

The score at this time was 100:88, and the Lakers were already 12 points behind.

Lin Tian drank water while watching his teammates running on the court.

Once he comes off the court, the Lakers' defense becomes more like paper.

Griffin, the white monster, wants everything he wants in the paint. Neither Nance Jr. nor Hibbert can stop his attack. They can only let Griffin dunk or send him to the free throw line.

At this moment, Lin Tian could even feel the helpless feeling that Iverson had during his MVP season.

Fortunately, Kobe felt good at the critical moment and did not let the score get too far.

When there were 5 minutes left in the game, the Clippers called a timeout and took the lead in changing to the closing lineup.

Lin Tian looked at Scott expectantly.

Noticing Lin Tian's eyes, Scott said to Lin Tian in front of all the players: "Lin! Just make a sudden move after playing!"

Lin Tian nodded solemnly.

"Beep!"

The timeout ended, Lin Tian, ​​Kobe, Nance Jr., Randle and Lou Williams came on the stage. This was the Lakers' final lineup.

Although he only rested for a few minutes, Lin Tian broke into the paint and scored a goal, bringing his score to 28 points.
Chapter completed!
