Sure enough, just as Lin Tian expected.

As soon as he came off the court, the Lakers' offense came to a standstill.

The main attackers on the court are now Clarkson and Lou Williams.

Both are players who are better at offense than defense.

Facing the Spurs' tough defense, their offense seemed to be struggling.

When the offense is not going well, the Lakers' defense seems to be affected to a certain extent.

The Spurs' backup point guard Mills stepped up again at this time and hit layups repeatedly.

Lin Tian, ​​who was sitting on the bench, looked very worried, but had no idea what to do.

Kobe also frowned and said nothing.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were already trailing by 24 points.

In other words, in the few minutes when Lin Tian and Kobe came off the court, the score was opened by 8 points.

During the break, the atmosphere in the team seemed depressing, and even team leader Nick Young stopped laughing and joking.

Everyone knows that their hope of winning today is already very slim, even if there is still one quarter left.

It is indeed unrealistic to win back more than 20 points in one quarter.

Lin Tian also felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this time.

In the first three quarters, his performance was actually good, and he scored a high score of 34 points in only three quarters.

On the defensive side, he also made some achievements and got 3 steals.

But basketball is a sport for five people, and cooperation is often more important than individual heroism.

This has been verified in countless finals.

Among the many players on the Lakers today, except for Lin Tian, ​​the best performer is Kobe, and everyone else’s shooting percentage is very low.

Inside the studio.

Barkley also sighed: "After all, the Lakers are a group of young players. Facing the experienced Spurs, they appear very passive."

Smith also agreed with this: "That's right! What the Spurs are best at playing is a team like the Lakers with one player as the core."

"But I'm not surprised at all when something like this happens today. Come on, that's the Spurs! A championship-level team!"

"If nothing else happens, Lin will experience his first loss tonight since entering the NBA."

"Actually, this is not a bad thing. Lin has had a superstar image since he entered the league. It is also good to polish his character."

"Yes! The Lakers are in the rebuilding stage. Their most important task now is to train new people. To be more precise, train Lin."

"Okay, after more than two minutes of rest time, the fourth quarter begins. Wait! Is Lin going to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter?"

…

At the Staples Center Arena, with the referee's whistle, Lin Tian couldn't wait to return to the court.

He did have a brief chat with Scott just now and asked Scott to let him play at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Although Scott didn't want Lin Tian to get hurt, he also didn't want Lin Tian to be unhappy.

After all, dozens of cameras around them are filming them all the time.

If any ignorant reporter exposed a photo of him and Lin at odds, he would probably pack up and leave soon.

For Lin Tian's early debut, the Spurs players were not surprised at all.

Danny Green even jokingly said to Lin Tian: "Rookie, stop resisting, give up struggling."

Lin Tian didn't talk nonsense with Danny Green. He hit a pull-up three-pointer against Danny Green as soon as he came up! His personal score came to 37 points.

Before Leonard comes up, Lin Tian should at least be a little more relaxed when facing Danny Green's defense.

The Spurs strictly implemented Popovich's tactics. After Ginobili dribbled the ball across half court, he stood there and waited for time as if he had been stabbed.

They are now leading by more than 20 points. If they attack in a hurry, they will definitely be scolded by Popovich.

Although Lin Tian was anxious, he couldn't change his defense, because changing his defense would only cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and he might even be beaten.

All they have to do now is try their best to guard every ball.

Ginobili was so good at stalling that he almost forgot the time. It wasn't until Danny Green reminded him that he remembered to attack. At this time, there were only 5 seconds left in the Spurs' attack time.

Ginobili chose to rush forward when faced with Lou Wei, and he used his skillful passing skills to get past Lou Wei.

But Nance Jr. helped defend in time, and his tall body blocked Ginobili.

Ginobili couldn't make a move and caught a glimpse of Danny Green who was ambushing in the corner.

At this time, Lin Tian was still a little far away from Danny Green.

Ginobili threw the ball directly in the direction of Danny Green.

As soon as the ball left his hand, he saw Lin Tianyi rushing toward the ball without hesitation.

Lin Tian obviously predicted that Ginobili would pass the ball to Danny Green, but the distance was too far, and he obviously couldn't catch up by simply running over.

In desperation, Lin Tian rushed over.

When his body rushed forward, it was almost parallel to the ground.

At the limit, Lin Tian's fingertips touched the basketball, destroying the player.

At the same time, Lin Tian's body also hit the wooden floor heavily.

"Wow!"

This action directly caused the entire audience to scream, and even Kobe showed an incredible expression.

The basketball bounced twice on the smooth wooden floor and went out of the sideline. At this time, the buzzer sounded in the arena, and the Spurs committed a 24-second violation.

Xiao Nance and Lu Wei quickly ran back and pulled Lin Tian up from the ground. They didn't expect Lin Tian to work so hard.

Lin Tian himself thought it was nothing and grinned instead.

In the studio, the broadcast camera was already replaying Lin Tian's flying dive just now.

After watching it, Barkley exclaimed: "Oh! Such a familiar picture! This kid's steal reminds me of Dennis Rodman! Damn it!"

"Haha! It seems quite similar. In order to destroy the ball, his body was almost parallel to the floor!"

"It can be seen that this young man from the Lakers is extremely eager to win!"

"Seeing that the future of the league is with such a group of young players, I feel relieved, haha!"

…

After Lin Tian destroyed Ginobili's pass, the ball came to the Lakers, and Lu Wei sent the ball to Lin Tian.

Standing in front of Danny Green with the ball again, Lin Tian did not dare to waste time. He first took a deep breath, and then began to change direction significantly.

He skillfully used the change of direction to make Danny Green lose his center of gravity and jump directly under the blue.

Aldridge was the only one in the paint area. When Lin Tian rushed to the paint area, he jumped up and made a reverse layup. He successfully avoided Aldridge's defense and scored the ball.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, they beat the Spurs 5-0 again, narrowing the point difference to 19 points.
Chapter completed!
