After Lin Tian intercepted the ball, he rushed directly to the Lakers' frontcourt for a fast break.

Lillard couldn't catch up with Lin Tian at all, and could only watch Lin Tian dunk successfully.

This dunk also gave the Lakers a two-point lead again.

The Blazers' offensive momentum was wiped out by Lin Tian.

When Lillard came to Lin Tian with the ball again, he did not break through and passed the ball cleanly to McCollum.

Lin Tian did not change defense. He always occupied a position within the three-point line and kept an eye on Lillard.

McCollum seemed to have no intention of passing the ball to Lillard, and ended the offense with a mid-range shot.

He actually scored on this mid-range shot.

In the next several rounds, the shooting percentages of both sides were not very high, perhaps because they consumed too much energy in the first three quarters.

Lin Tian's number of main attacks also decreased, while Kobe and Russell took more shots.

Since no one on the outside feels very good, the offensive strategy will soon change.

Plumlee, the Trail Blazers' inside man, got several opportunities to take shots in a row, and he also seized these opportunities.

Nance Jr. of the Lakers also performed a beautiful putback dunk.

All this seems to have little to do with Lin Tian, ​​but in fact Lin Tian's contribution to defense is immeasurable.

His task is not just to defend Lillard, but also to cover up and assist in defense from time to time.

Several times when McCollum passed Kobe or Russell, Lin Tian would immediately cover up the defense, making McCollum very uncomfortable.

He is not only the Lakers' best perimeter defender, but also the best wing defender.

Lin Tian's physical strength was being consumed rapidly.

Both Lillard and McCollum seem to realize this.

The Blazers' ball was in motion, and the physical exertion on Lin Tian was even more of a challenge.

This fight continued until there was more than one minute left in the fourth quarter, and the score between the two sides was 106:106.

It was a familiar scene again! Lin Tian felt as if they were back to the night they played against the Thunder.

Fortunately, the ball is in the hands of the Lakers at this time.

Kobe held the ball forward and then handed the key ball to Lin Tian.

As soon as Lin Tian got the ball, Aminu came over to greet him.

Compared with the first three quarters, Lin Tian currently scores the best in the fourth quarter and takes the fewest shots.

He mainly focused on the defensive end, otherwise, the Lakers might have fallen behind.

The Blazers' power forward and center have shrunk to the basket.

They have no reason to believe that Lin Tian will take a long shot at such a critical time.

But Lin Tian really didn't follow the routine. When the time was about to run out, he took two steps forward with the ball and then retreated outside the three-point line!

Aminu couldn't keep up with Lin Tian's footsteps and rushed over in a hurry, but it was too late.

Lin Tian's step-back three-pointer was shot almost without interference.

The eyes of all the Lakers fans followed the ball flying towards the basket.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the frame, and the rebound height was not too low.

Many audience members sighed at the same time, and their sighs were mixed together and not too loud.

Plumlee and Nance Jr. are all eyeing this ball.

But the embarrassing thing is that Nance Jr.'s position is a little worse than Plumlee's.

His idea was to wait for the ball to fall and see if he could hit it away!

The basketball bounced to the highest point and then fell freely to the ground.

Plumlee, who was 2.11 meters tall, bent his legs and exerted force suddenly, and he jumped into the air with a "swish" sound!

When the fingertips of his right hand were about to touch the basketball, he felt a gust of wind coming.

Before he could look back, Plumlee discovered that another big hand appeared above his right hand!

That big hand stuck to the basketball, and then suddenly smashed the ball into the net.

"Bang!" With a violent sound, the basketball was smashed into the basket!

"Wow!" Almost the entire audience stood up at this moment, and then all raised their hands excitedly.

Many fans even hugged their teammates in celebration.

In today's three-point era, such a powerful dunk is really rare!

"Oh! My God! Oh my God! This is so handsome!"

"He dunked the ball over the heads of several centers and into the basket. Is this Lin?"

"This is the best dunk I've ever seen live! Lin is a natural dunk king!"

"Although Lin took off while running, he dunked over the center. It's exciting just thinking about it!"

The person who completed this sensational dunk was naturally Lin Tian.

When he just shot the step-back three-pointer, he felt something was wrong with the strength, so he immediately rushed inside.

It just so happens that the distance the basketball bounces is not very far, which can be regarded as the beauty of adulthood.

Seeing Lin Tian complete this dunk, Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts hurriedly called a timeout.

There is less than 1 minute left in the game, and any attack requires strict tactics.

Moreover, Lin Tian's dunk also boosted the momentum of the Lakers. Calling a timeout at this time can be regarded as extinguishing the fire for them.

During the pause, the four large screens above the arena began to play the dunk again and again in a loop.

Lin Tian's teammates also approached him one after another to give him high-fives.

But after high-fiving, tactics still come first.

Kobe shouted loudly: "Guys! Cheer up! As long as we defend the next ball, victory will belong to us!"

Since rupturing his Achilles tendon, Kobe has rarely been so excited.

The Lakers' garbage record in the past few seasons has dulled Kobe's spirit.

Now that he has seen the dawn of the playoffs, the fighting spirit deep in his heart to win has been inspired again!

Although the other Lakers players did not speak, the desire for victory can be seen in their eyes.

"Beep!" the whistle came, and ten players from both sides returned to the court. The score was currently 108:106, with the Lakers leading by two points.

There are 40 seconds left in the game. If everyone delays, each team will only have one attack time.

At the critical moment, the Trail Blazers still have Lillard with the ball.

For the Blazers, the best way now is to play a fast break. In this case, even if they don't score, they still have a chance to attack.

But Lin Tian's defense was airtight. In the last few dozen seconds, he didn't even give Lillard a chance to break into the paint.

At this time, Lin Tian was concentrating on defense.

"defence!"

The home fans also chanted neatly, as if they were going to burst people's eardrums!

Even Bass and Kupchak stood up at this time!

On the field.

Suddenly, Lillard started with the ball and drove in from the right.

Lin Tian took a step back to block Lillard's offensive line, and at the same time, he was wary of Lillard passing the ball.

But Lillard braked decisively, stepped back to the three-point line, raised his hand and threw the ball!
Chapter completed!
