NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 37 You are the second child of the team, of course you have no chance to make a move
Kobe smiled: "No one in the entire league can really limit KD. You can learn a lot from him."

Obviously, he didn't take what Lin Tian said just now to heart, how could it be so easy to confront KD.

Lin Tian nodded seriously.

After seven o'clock in the evening, Ford Center Arena.

Due to Kobe's reasons, the arena is also full tonight.

Although it is the Thunder's home court, many fans wearing No. 8 and No. 24 Kobe Bryant jerseys can still be seen in the auditorium.

Some of these Kobe fans may not be able to buy Lakers home tickets, and some came from other cities specially to see Kobe.

Some fans came to the United States from other countries just to play a game for Kobe.

Playing back-to-back games is a great test of the physical strength of the players. Kobe's shoulders have been uncomfortable recently, but for the sake of the fans, he decided to play tonight.

During the warm-up session, Lin Tian and Kobe were practicing shooting, when Durant suddenly walked up to Kobe.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting with a smile, and Lin Tian also walked over to greet Durant on his own initiative.

Observing Durant at close range, he is indeed a little taller than himself, but with a simple and honest smile, it is completely unexpected that he is a god of death on the court.

"Dude! I saw your recent performance, you are very good." Durant even took the initiative to praise Lin Tianlai.

Lin Tian smiled and said, "Thank you, KD, and you too."

But Durant changed the subject: "Although you played a game yesterday, don't think that we will be merciful today, Lakers rookie, I will prevent you from feeling very uncomfortable."

Before the game even started, Durant had already released harsh words.

Everyone is also in the West, and Durant is also a frontcourt player, but he ranked No.3 in the All-Star votes in the West!
It was Lin Tian and Kawaii who were pressing on his head, so Lin Tian didn't think he seemed to be joking.

What's more, Durant's character is very serious, which everyone knows.

Lin Tian just said: "Just let the horse come here."

A few people chatted for a few rounds, and Durant went back to practice shooting.

The warm-up time passed quickly, and the time came to eight o'clock, and the match between the two sides officially started.

The Lakers adjusted their starting lineup slightly today, replacing the No. 1 position with Russell, and Lu Wei is temporarily on the bench.

Shooting guard Kobe, small forward Lin Tian, ​​power forward Nance Jr., and center Hibbert.

The first position of the Thunder is Westbrook, the shooting guard is Andre Robertson, small forward Durant, power forward Ibaka, and center Adams.

In the studio, after Big Mouth Barkley introduced the starting lineups of both sides, he couldn't help laughing.

His partner Smith asked: "Charles, what are you laughing at? Do the two starters look so funny?"

Barkley replied: "Sorry! I really can't help it, don't you think the strength gap of this lineup is too big?

"Both the Thunder and the Lakers have Russell. Although the Lakers' Russell is second in the list, can he defend against the Thunder's Westbrook? There is also the No. 2 position. The Thunder is a defensive champion Robertson! The Lakers are also at a disadvantage in the forward position."

Smith nodded: "From the perspective of the paper lineup, I am not surprised that the Lakers trailed by 20 points in the first quarter."

While the two of them were still commenting, the live match had officially started.

The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Adams of the Thunder successfully gave the racket to Westbrook.

Westbrook dribbled the ball across half court with a stern face, then suddenly sped up and started, throwing away Russell, making a sudden stop one meter inside the three-point line, and came up with a zombie jumper.

This shot is very accurate, a direct hit!The Thunder lead 2:0.

After the Lakers served from the bottom corner, Russell wanted to break through, but he didn't break through. He could only run out of the three-point line and hand the ball to Kobe.

Kobe wanted to hand the ball to Lin Tian, ​​but Lin Tian was chased to death by Durant.

Durant has an extremely exaggerated wingspan, which also allows him to play a big role in defense.

Lin Tian could feel that Durant was desperate at the beginning of this quarter.

Those who are dissatisfied with the number of All-Star votes are not just Cousins ​​​​of the Kings, but also Durant, the top three active players.

Lin Tianzheng was planning to run to Kobe to catch the ball, but Kobe had already held the ball and did it alone.

Defending Kobe was Robertson, a man who averaged less than 4 points per game but secured the Thunder's starting lineup.

All thanks to his defense.

When Kobe charged forward with the ball, he was not able to completely get rid of Robertson, and could only make a hasty shot from outside the free throw line.

This is a very difficult, but Kobe Bryant best fadeaway jumper.

The basketball showed that it hit the backboard, then fell into the net, and it hit!

There were applause in twos and threes in the arena.

I am afraid that only Kobe this season can have this treatment for away goals.

When the Thunder team served from the bottom corner, Lin Tian had quickly come to the frontcourt to settle down.

Durant won't make him comfortable, and he won't make Durant feel better.

Lin Tian didn't dare to follow Durant carelessly for a moment, not letting the opponent get rid of him, and trying to avoid letting the opponent catch the ball.

However, judging from the current situation, Lin Tian thought too much.

Westbrook didn't seem to have the idea of ​​passing the ball at all, and he killed inside every time he held the ball.

The young Russell has never been a point guard known for his speed, so he can't keep up with Westbrook.

This time Westbrook rushed straight to the paint, jumped high and dunked.

The atmosphere of the home fans was instantly ignited by this dunk!

Lin Tian was secretly startled. Westbrook is only 28 years old this year. He is in his prime, with both speed and explosiveness. Their No. [-] defense against Westbrook is really at a disadvantage.

At present, most people on the Internet comment on Westbrook: Only his teammate Durant can guard Westbrook.

After Westbrook scored this dunk, he yelled at Nance Jr. under the basket.

The live dj also increased the volume.

In the next few rounds, Lin Tian rarely caught the ball, and Durant didn't have many chances to catch the ball.

Because Westbrook's touch has been completely opened up, there is no need for Durant to play at all.

Durant's task is to defend Lin Tian. In this regard, he is obviously much better than the previous Cousins.

Cousins ​​is slow, but Durant is fast and has a long wingspan.

In recent years, Durant's defensive ability has actually been underestimated.

In the first 4 minutes, the Thunder led 12:6.

This is within everyone's expectations. After all, in everyone's opinion, these two teams are not at the same level at all.

After the Thunder's Westbrook scored again, Durant talked trash to the rookie in front of him: "Lin, did you see that, you don't even need me to take a shot, you have already lost."

Lin Tian sarcastically said: "You are the team's second child, so of course you don't have any chance to make a move."

His words instantly changed Durant's expression.
