Lillard slowly held the ball and stood at the top of the key.

Lin Tian twisted his neck and stared at Lillard closely.

Regarding Lillard's scouting report, Lin Tian didn't just read it once.

Unlike some talented players who entered the league at the age of eighteen or nineteen, Lillard played in college for four years before participating in the draft and entered the league at the age of 22.

Therefore, after he entered the NBA, he basically didn't hit any rookie wall and easily integrated into the NBA.

Not only that, as the 6th overall pick in 2012, he overcame others such as Big Eyebrow and became the best rookie in the 2012-2013 season.

In just one season, he has basically established himself as the cornerstone of the team, which is inseparable from Lillard's extremely mature style of play.

He has breakthroughs, shooting, and a big heart.

If we must talk about his shortcomings, it may be that his defense is not as good as his offense, and his height is slightly shorter.

Lin Tian knew Lillard's main technical characteristics, and he opened his hands calmly.

Lillard grinned at Lin Tian for no reason, then swatted the ball hard and rushed to the right.

I have to say that Lillard's first step started very quickly. If Lin Tian hadn't been a little further away from him, it would have been difficult to keep up.

Lillard himself seemed to know very well that such a breakthrough could not get rid of Lin Tian, ​​and he suddenly dribbled the ball from behind to the left.

Lin Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, he was actually trying to play with his luck right under his nose!

As if it was a reaction engraved in his bones, Lin Tian quickly stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and went directly around Lillard's body, hitting the ball from behind him! The ball was hit.

As if Lillard was struck by lightning, he quickly turned around and tried to get the ball back.

The two chased the basketball at the same time. Lillard was slightly closer to the ball, but his arms were shorter than Lin Tian's.

In front of Lillard, Lin Tian picked up the ball from the ground in advance.

He was about to take a step forward and take advantage of the opportunity to attack, but Lillard grabbed his jersey tightly.

"Beep!" The referee also blew the whistle hurriedly, announcing that Lillard had committed a foul.

If he hadn't been more decisive about this foul, he might have just watched Lin Tian dunk.

Nick Young and Nance Jr. quickly came over and high-fived Lin Tian to celebrate.

"Lin! This is your fourth steal of the game!"

Lin Tian nodded silently, but he didn't look at his own data much.

When he looked at Lillard again, Lin Tian noticed that Lillard's face was livid.

This is normal. He originally wanted to regain his position for McCollum, but he didn't know that his own position was also lost.

Before the foul count was full, Lin Tian stood outside the sideline to serve at the referee's signal.

He directly passed the ball to Nick Young. Nick Young did not choose to play singles, but instead passed the ball back to Lin Tian.

Although Lin Tian is currently defending a defender, the one guarding him is still a forward.

After all, with the heights of Lillard and McCollum, it is impossible to guard Lin Tian.

The Trail Blazers had already proven in the first quarter that no one could restrict Lin Tian, ​​so they still strictly implemented the tactics of double-teaming and zone defense.

With the ball in Lin Tian's hands, the five Blazers players seemed to become a little nervous.

Lin Tian forced a breakthrough against Aminu, and then, defended by Plumlee and Nonoa Vonlei, passed the ball back to Nick Young on the wing.

Nick Young was basically open at this time, and he slapped the ball on the ground before throwing it out.

"Wow!" The basketball hit the net hollowly! Because the arc was too high, the sound it made after falling into the net was also quite nice.

On the Trail Blazers side, seeing that Lin Tian actually got an assist, the Trail Blazers head coach frowned: "Damn it! This guy thinks he is James!"

This way of playing is indeed quite similar to James of the Cavaliers.

But the difference is that the pressure Lin Tian faces on the defensive end is not comparable to that of James.

He is guarding the Blazers' cutting edge position!

After Nick Young scored, he put his hands in front of his eyes like "OK" to celebrate.

In such a long time with the Lakers, there are not many open opportunities like this.

Kobe also showed a rare smile off the court at this time.

Under the leadership of Lin Tian, ​​the Lakers had already taken the lead.

In the few rounds after Lin Tian came on the court, the Trail Blazers have not scored yet.

It was Lillard holding the ball through half the court again, beads of sweat the size of peas dripping from his forehead, and his face was very solemn.

After being intercepted by Lin Tian, ​​he could also feel the pressure Lin Tian brought to him!

This guy is worthy of being someone who can limit Durant.

Lillard has never been willing to bow his head. If it is difficult to break in, then look for other ways to score!

He held the ball again and broke through in the same direction as before.

Lin Tian was not surprised at all. His defensive method was the same as before. He could let the opponent attack in, but he could not push forward.

After taking a few steps, Lillard noticed that Lin Tian had never lost his position. If he rushed in like this, he would definitely be defended by the opponent.

In desperation, he first used the inertia to lean forward and make contact with Lin Tian, ​​and then used his strength to step back.

When Lillard took the initiative to seek physical contact, Lin Tian knew that he was going to step back.

The step back is not just Harden's unique skill, there are many players in the league who also use it very well, including Lillard.

Lin Tian braked in time, he quickly moved towards Lillard, and rushed in front of Lillard in an instant.

At this time, Lillard also completed his step back, his entire body was outside the three-point line, and he had already taken off.

He aimed at the basket and shot the ball directly.

The moment he threw the ball, Lillard felt that the angle of the ball was correct!

But at the same time, a big hand also appeared in front of Lillard!

The protagonist of this big hand is naturally Lin Tian, ​​who took off less than one meter away from Lillard.

Seeing that the ball was about to pass over his head, Lin Tian stretched out his right hand as straight as a bamboo pole!

His open palm was like a giant net, mercilessly shooting the basketball down from the air.

Step back three-pointer? What’s covered is the step back!

"Beep!" The basketball was shot out of the sideline and the referee blew the whistle.

The Staples Center arena was filled with restless sounds! The players on the Lakers bench had already gotten up!

This shocking block made many Lakers fans in the arena stand up with their mouths wide open.

Although this block is not as shocking as Lin Tian's chasing shot against Westbrook in the previous game, it is definitely a good shot.

"Oh my god! Lin actually blocked Lillard's step-back three-pointer!"

"This is crazy! Is Lin going to average one top ten goal per game?"

"I think the average is not just one top ten goal per game, but two!"
Chapter completed!
