NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 31 Hey!Rookie?You want to play against me?
At this time, Kobe was leading the team on the field. Kobe didn't feel good in the first two quarters, so he didn't shoot many shots.

Now that Lin Tian is resting, Kobe must drive the team.

He held the ball in his hands, and suddenly changed his mind to kill inside.

McLemore of the Kings actually kept up with Kobe.

After Kobe made an emergency stop, it was still difficult to make a shot. In desperation, he could only pull a jumper directly near the free throw line.

The dry pull jump shot is a test of the player's waist and abdomen strength. It is a difficult shot, and if the movement is coherent, it will be picturesque.

Kobe's pull-up jumper is one of the most handsome pull-ups in history.

His dry pull is extremely difficult to defend, and he is almost impossible to be blocked!

The basketball drew a high arc in the air, and then fell into the net with a "shua".

After Kobe scored a goal, his eyes were firm, like a killer.

Lin Tian on the bench also applauded Kobe vigorously.

The Kings were not to be outdone, Cousins ​​quickly responded with a two-pointer after serving.

The Lakers serve from the bottom line, and this time Kobe dribbled directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

When organizing his teammates to run, he even lifted the collar of his jersey and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After wiping off his sweat, Lu Wei came over to play a pick-and-roll for him.

Through Lu Wei's pick-and-roll, Kobe temporarily got rid of the defender. He still didn't kill inside, but shot a dry three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Kobe's three-point shooting percentage in his career is not high, but this time he made a three-pointer!

Lin Tian and his teammates on the bench stood up and applauded Kobe, even some Kings fans took the initiative to applaud.

Kobe saved the field at a critical moment, which can be regarded as stopping the bleeding.

At the end of his career, his number of mid-range shots and three-pointers increased a lot, but he didn't make them every time.

Sure enough, after the Lakers defended a ball, Kobe made another mid-range shot and hit the iron.

The Kings didn't give a chance, and the counterattack was successful.

After playing back and forth for several more rounds, the third quarter was over, the score was 76:73, and the Kings led by three points.

Compared with the previous two quarters, the scoring efficiency of both sides in this quarter is a little lower.

When Kobe and the rest were resting, Lin Tian greeted them and gave them high fives one by one.

Scott asked everyone to surround him. Apart from pointing out the problem of running positions, he asked everyone to work hard to defend.

It's just that the physical conditions of several Lakers players are here, and no one can stop Cousins.

Due to the impact of injuries, Hibbert's movement speed has dropped severely.

Although Nance Jr. can run and jump, his confrontation ability is still far behind the tall Cousins, not to mention that he is still so young and has little defensive experience.

Apart from the two of them, only Randall and Lin Tian are the tallest in the team.

Randall's offense is okay, but his defense is much worse. It is impossible to prevent Cousins.

Their previous strategy was to double-team and help defend Cousins, which did play a role.

But Cousins ​​is not the kind of player who plays alone. On the contrary, Cousins ​​may be one of the centers who like to pass the ball the most.

Although his passing is sometimes inexplicable, most of the time, when he passes the ball, he is a huge threat to the Lakers.

Scott still decided to double-team Cousins ​​with Nance Jr. and Hibbert.

Of course, the premise of doing this is that the basketball is passed to Cousins.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' lineup is still a few players at the end of the third quarter: Kobe, Lu Wei, Nick Young, Nance Jr. and Hibbert.

Lin Tian still has a few minutes to rest.

During this period of time, he also watched Kobe and his performances.

Originally, Lin Tian and Kobe were usually on the court together before, but Scott changed his tactics this time.

Fortunately, Cousins ​​​​and Rondo also rested off the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Even if the Lakers' lineup can't beat the opponent, presumably the point difference will not be stretched too much.

After Scott took a few steps back and forth on the field, he also sat back on the bench, and sat next to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian said to Scott: "Coach, if it really doesn't work, why don't you try to let me defend Cousins ​​to see how it works?"

Scott immediately looked at Lin Tian with a strange look: "You? Can you?"

Lin Tian is 2.05 meters tall, which is actually about the same height as Xiao Nance.

Little Nance looked very thin, but he was more than ten catties heavier than Lin Tian.

Lin Tian is 2.05 meters tall and weighs 100kg, which is really relatively light among players of the same level.

Even Durant, who looks as thin as a bamboo pole, actually weighs 109kg.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Lin Tian grinned.

Scott looked embarrassed, playing inside represented a fierce confrontation, and Lin Tian is now almost recognized as the future boss of the team.

Two days ago, Bass Jr. even called Scott himself and told him that as long as Lin Tian was having a good time, he could do whatever he wanted.

If he was injured, the consequences would be disastrous.

But in contrast, Scott didn't want to make Lin Tian unhappy. Since Lin Tian proposed it, he could only nod: "Okay! You can try it, but you must pay attention, Cousins ​​is a behemoth inside this season! Don't force it."

With Scott's permission, Lin Tian has no worries, he is very confident in his physical fitness.

The 2.01-meter Drummond Green can play center forward, why can't he?
Four minutes into the fourth quarter, Kobe called a foul.

After he stepped to the free throw line and scored a goal, the Kings and Lakers made substitutions at the same time.

For the Lakers, Lin Tian and Russell replaced Lu Wei and Hibbert.

On the Kings side, Cousins ​​​​also appeared.

Russell served from the sideline and sent the ball directly to Lin Tian.

Standing in front of Lin Tian was Guy. Although Guy couldn't keep up with Lin Tian's speed, judging from his performance in the first three quarters, he was already the best player in the Kings' defense against Lin Tian. At least he made Lin Tian miss a few shots.

Lin Tian, ​​who had just rested for a few minutes, had recovered his physical strength at this time, he dribbled the ball with his hands crossed in a big way, and then changed direction and passed Guy!
When rushing to the paint area, Lin Tian made a drift shot and hit the rebound against Cousins ​​who was running over to defend him!

The Kings serve, Lin Tian quickly ran to the frontcourt of the Kings, and said to Nance Jr., "Go and guard Guy!"

Little Nance showed a rather surprised expression, but he didn't hesitate, and quickly changed over.

When Cousins ​​trotted all the way to the basket, he realized that it was not Nance Jr., but Lin Tian who was stuck with him!

When he was surprised, he showed a question mark on his face: "Hey! Rookie? Are you serious? Are you going to play against me?"

Lin Tian smiled and said, "Why not?"

Instead of being angry, Cousins ​​was happy. He tried to push Lin Tian away with his strong body, but soon found that it didn't work.

The Chinese player in front of him looks rather thin, but his foot is extremely stable!It's like being welded to the ground!
