NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 36 The strongest loser in history?Debut is the pinnacle!

Compared with the previous two questions, this question is obviously more tricky.

The current Lin Tian can be said to be on the cusp of the storm. The All-Star matter gave him a headache, but the reporter still wanted to ask this question.

Fortunately, Lin Tian has already shown his attitude in this game. He said neither humble nor overbearing: "There is no doubt that I am an All-Star player."

After the interview, the team did not stay overnight in Sacramento, but took a special plane overnight to Oklahoma.

Because their next opponent is the Western powerhouse Thunder.

On the plane, the players were very excited about winning today's game.

Everyone attributed the credit to Lin Tian and Kobe, which made Lin Tian a little embarrassed.

Nick Yang took the initiative to come over to sit with Lin Tian, ​​and put his arm on Lin Tian's shoulder: "Lin! I have already called on all my friends to vote for you! Your All-Star starter will never run away! Hehe!"

"Thank you, Nick." Lin Tian smiled.

"Your performance today can win you a lot of votes, and it's double the number of votes today!"

"Really? Then I hope that when the official announcement of the number of votes for the second stage is made, my votes will reach 100 million."

"Don't worry! There will definitely be! I just checked the news! Those who were still questioning you before the game, shut their mouths obediently!"

"If we take Oklahoma City down tomorrow, haha, your All-Star starter is a certainty!"

Lin Tian smiled: "Okay, everyone should rest quickly!"

Playing the Oklahoma City Thunder tomorrow is a back-to-back game for the Lakers, and they have very little rest time.

There is no way, the away games are still back-to-back, and it is inevitable to be exhausted.

The players were indeed exhausted today. After bragging for a while, they went back to their seats and fell asleep.

Fortunately, the special plane of the Lakers has been modified, and sleeping on the seat is more comfortable than sleeping on the sofa.

It was early morning after the plane arrived in Oklahoma City, and the players took a bus at the airport to a five-star hotel near the Ford Center for the night.

Because the schedule was too tight, the team training on the second day was also cancelled.

Lin Tian spent the night in the hotel, and woke up at seven o'clock in the morning the next day.

As usual, he took out his phone to check the sports news for a while before getting out of bed.

The best player in the NBA yesterday has been selected, and it is naturally Lin Tian.

About his news, the mobile phone is basically swiping:

[Lakers rookie Lin Tian scored 49 points in a single game!Lead the team to beat the Kings! 】

[Lin Tian made a shocking buckle!The league's No. [-] center, Cousins, became the background board! 】

[The Lakers rookie responded to the All-Star event with a tough performance! 】

[Best rookie reservation?Lin Tian has led the Lakers to two consecutive victories! 】

[The strongest loser in history?Debut is the pinnacle!Performance surpassed that of James Jordan in the same period! 】

……

There are countless news headlines like this, and Lin Tian doesn't have time to open them one by one.

He glanced at the current situation of the Thunder team sent to him by the assistant coach of the Lakers.

The Thunder this season are currently ranked No.3 in the Western Conference, second only to the Warriors and Spurs.

They have twin stars. In addition to Durant and Westbrook, there are two other people in the team whose salaries exceed tens of millions.

This is another championship contender this season.

Whether it is offensive efficiency or defensive efficiency, the Thunder are at the forefront of the league.

This is a much stronger opponent than the Kings. To be honest, the Lakers' chances of winning are not great, or even small.

This can be seen from the odds offered by some bookmakers.

The organization is not optimistic about the Lakers, which is absolutely understandable. The Lakers are young, and the outside world believes that their goal this season is the No. [-] pick.

The Thunder are strong contenders for the championship headed by Durant and Westbrook, and the goals of the two teams are different.

In addition, the Lakers only played against the Kings yesterday, and the Thunder are waiting for work...

After turning off the phone, Lin Tian got up to wash up, and then had breakfast at the hotel.

Kobe also just woke up not long ago, and after the two had breakfast, they walked into the Ford Center Arena together.

Lin Tian was here for the first time, and he was quite unfamiliar with everything here.

If he was left alone in the arena, he would definitely not be able to find his way.

Kobe is different. He has been in nab for nearly 20 years, and he is familiar with all the teams' home arenas.

Kobe even knew the names of several staff members at the Ford Center.

After the two arrived at the visiting team training hall in the arena, they started training.

As for the other players on the team, they should still be sleeping in the hotel at this time.

They spent the whole morning in the training hall. After eating Chinese food, they gathered with other players and came to the training hall.

Although today's main training was cancelled, after all, there will be a game tonight, and the players can no longer go out to play.

In addition to the hotel, they can only stay in the training hall provided by the away game.

After completing a shooting practice, Lin Tian was drinking water, and Kobe came over: "Lin! Are you ready for tonight's game?"

Lin Tian licked his lips: "I'm ready!"

Kobe said: "You may have to face KD tonight."

Both Lin Tian and Kevin Durant played the small forward position, and their heights were not a few centimeters apart.

If nothing else, Lin Tian must be facing Durant.

In the current NBA, the position of small forward is full of talents. There is James in the front, Durant in the back, and Kawhi in the Spurs.

The Pacers also have Paul George...

It's no wonder that a few days ago, the NBA canceled the center for the All-Star starting spot and increased it to three frontcourt players.

There is no way, the league has too many excellent forwards, and the two starting All-Stars are simply not enough, and the big centers can only suffer from being dumb.

Lin Tian is still looking forward to facing Durant, he nodded: "I know."

Durant has not yet said that the player who defended him best is Tony Allen. According to the timeline, it should take a few years to say.

And Lin Tian copied all the abilities of the peak Tony Allen!
Not only that, Lin Tian is taller than Tony Allen!Faster than Tony Allen!
Seeing that Lin Tian seemed to be looking forward to the lineup with Durant, Kobe smiled wryly: "KD is a difficult player. Playing against him can give you valuable experience. If he scores a lot tonight, don't be discouraged, because he is the strongest scorer in active service."

Lin Tian finally understood that Kobe was vaccinating himself.

He was worried that his mentality would be broken when he faced Durant tonight.

Facing Kobe's words, Lin Tian smiled and said, "Let me fight against KD tonight!"
