Chapter 44 Colin Connection! Shocked the audience!
In addition to Kobe's great trust in Lin Tian, there is obviously the intention to give up the throne.
After Scott was stunned for a moment, he nodded quickly and continued to arrange tactics.
This tactic is actually very simple. They serve first, Kobe receives the ball from the high post, and then Lin Tian passes the ball through the running hand. In the end, if there are no accidents, Lin Tian will finish it. If there is an accident, naturally
Be adaptable.
Before Scott could finish speaking, the timeout was over.
The game continues, with 35 seconds left in the game.
As the referee blew the whistle, Russell served the ball from the sideline.
Lin Tian's crazy movement created the illusion that he was going to catch the ball. Durant was unwilling and pursued Lin Tian.
The Thunder's defensive intensity has increased to another level.
The Lakers moved! They followed suit! They had no intention of letting Russell pass the ball easily.
Time passed by second by second, and Russell stood outside the sideline, holding the ball above his head with both hands, with a look of nervousness on his face.
The ball must be released within five seconds, otherwise the ball will be transferred even if the Lakers make a mistake.
Seeing that the serve was about to time out, Kobe finally ran into an open space, and Russell passed the ball to Kobe.
At this time, Kobe was still two meters away from the three-point line, and Andre Robertson took two steps back.
Everyone else on the Thunder team also kept an eye on their own defenders.
Everyone knows that Kobe will definitely choose to take action in the last few seconds.
There is no need for the Thunder to commit a foul. As long as they prevent Kobe's ball, they are basically guaranteed to win!
No matter what happens, we can delay the time until overtime. How will the young Lakers fight against them then?
Lin Tian had already arrived outside the three-point line in the corner at this time, making the Thunder team think that he was ambushing here to shoot a three-pointer.
This is not actually the case.
The attack time passed quickly, and all the players on the field were tense.
The audience off the court may be even more nervous than the players.
Andre Robertson, who is responsible for guarding Kobe Bryant, is full of confidence.
If it was Kobe at his peak, he thought he couldn't guard him.
But Kobe's current state is not as good as before, not even half of what he was at his peak.
If Kobe dares to play in isolation, Robertson is 70% sure to prevent the ball. No, it should be 80%!
He can't attack well, so he relies on defense to survive!
In the blink of an eye, six seconds were left.
Kobe looked at the timer out of habit, then gritted his teeth and looked like he was going to rush inside.
At this time, Lin Tian, who had been standing in the bottom corner, suddenly rushed towards Kobe's position.
He was coming to get the ball, but who knew that Durant seemed to have guessed it a long time ago and moved in early to block Kobe's passing route.
Durant's long arms were stretched across Lin Tian's body, which really made Kobe dare not pass the ball easily.
Lin Tian's route was blocked, and he suddenly raised a hand to point to the basket, and then rushed inside.
At this time, the tactics arranged by Scott during the timeout were invalidated.
They must improvise to solve problems.
Kobe was a little confused. Several of the Thunder's behemoths were sitting inside, but Lin Tian was pointing to the basket?
It's just that in this short period of time, Kobe couldn't help but think too much. He held the ball and headed inside.
Robertson's defense was really strong. Although he allowed Kobe to rush into the paint area, he always stood in front of Kobe!
As long as Kobe dares to shoot blue, he has strong confidence that he can interfere with Kobe's shooting!
Defending Kobe, he is very experienced!
"Kobe! Head!" Lin Tian's familiar voice reached Kobe's ears.
He looked back and saw that Lin Tian had come up from behind. From the look of Lin Tian, he wanted him to pass an air connection.
But Lin Tian was blocked by several tall men, namely Durant, Ibaka and Adams!
None of these three people is taller than Lin Tian!
In the blink of an eye, Kobe had already made a decision. If he voted by himself, his confidence would be too low!
He gritted his teeth and gently threw the basketball to his side. Then he could only watch Lin Tian's!
Lin Tian, Durant, Ibaka and Adams all jumped up almost at the same time, trying to catch the ball!
After all, the direction of Kobe's pass is the direction of Lin Tian's travel, and Lin Tian's position is naturally the best!
And when he jumped up, the height of his legs from the ground was obviously higher than that of Adams and Ibaka!
The scene was almost in chaos! Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Tian and the others!
The next moment, above the heads of Ibaka and Adams, Lin Tian stretched out a pair of long arms and grabbed the basketball.
His body had jumped to the highest point, and his head was clearly above the bottom edge of the backboard! Many spectators were stunned.
At the same time that his body began to fall, Lin Tian maintained his forward posture, above Ibaka's head, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!
"Buzz..."
The 24-second attack time has just arrived!
When Ibaka landed, he stumbled and fell before his body could stand firmly.
Lin Tian took a step forward and roared, full of momentum.
The referee blew the whistle at this time, which startled Lin Tian, but he quickly understood the referee's jewelry. The referee wanted to confirm whether the ball just timed out.
The big screen on the top of the arena began to replay the alley-oop just now.
The fans in the arena could hardly cheer.
Some of them looked solemn, some kept shaking their heads, and some held their heads, as if they couldn't believe what they had just seen.
Lin Tian just grabbed the ball above Ibaka and others, and actually dunked Ibaka directly in the air.
This is definitely not something ordinary players can do.
Several Lakers players on the court had already gathered around Lin Tian, their excitement palpable.
While the referee was watching the replay, Scott also asked them to defend in the next round. After all, the game was not over yet.
The scene just now was played back again and again on the big screen.
The faces of the home fans became uglier than the last.
This ball was obviously a perfect alley-oop! And the moment Lin Tian dunked, the circle of red lights on the backboard indicating the end of the shot time came on.
Sure enough, the referee quickly issued a penalty, indicating that the goal was valid.
Lin Tian scored two points, Kobe Bryant received an assist, and the Lakers led by two points again!
The Lakers didn't even have time to celebrate, and quickly began to keep an eye on their defender.
There was only 10 seconds left for the Thunder, and they happened to have no timeout.
Robertson stood in the bottom corner and took a free throw, but Kobe kept waving his hands to interfere.
With great difficulty, Robertson passed the ball to Durant.
Chapter completed!
