NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 41 Kobe's Halftime Speech!
West's forced breakthrough this time did not get rid of Lu Wei who was defending him, so he could only make a hasty shot near the free throw line.

This is a difficult mid-range shot.

"Kangdang" hit the iron!
Nance Jr. took off the rebound, Lin Tian took the initiative to approach Nance Jr., took the ball from his hands and dribbled it across the half court.

Facing Lin Tian, ​​Durant lifted his trouser legs, his eyes were extremely firm.

This time, Xiao Nance ran to the top of the arc to cover Lin Tian according to the tactics.

Lin Tian used Nance Jr.'s body to get rid of Durant, and the Thunder quickly switched defenses, and it became Adams defending Lin Tian.

The big man is Lin Tian's favorite to face. He didn't waste time to change direction, but directly went inside to kill.

How could Adams catch up with Lin Tian, ​​he only felt that Lin Tian rushed in from him like a gust of wind.

There was no one inside, Lin Tian jumped up with the ball and it was a dunk!
The Lakers actually overtook the score directly!
In the next few minutes, the two sides chased after each other, and the score turned ahead alternately.

Many players on the Thunder's bench, including Westbrook, looked ugly.

This was originally a game with great disparity in strength, but now the score is very tight.

Head coach Donovan also scratched his head and seemed to have a headache.

After a dead ball, Donovan couldn't wait to put Westbrook on the court.

The Lakers also replaced Kobe on the field.

Basically every ball in the front was organized by Lin Tianlai, even if he is an iron man, he will be tired.

Kobe rested for a few minutes, and his physical strength should have recovered a lot.

Sure enough, after Kobe played, he made a picturesque mid-range shot.

For the time being, Lin Tian put his energy mainly on defense.

He did his best to keep Durant off the ball, and he did.

Not only that, but he also blocked a pass from Westbrook to Durant.

If possible, Lin Tian even wants to guard Westbrook.

Because in his opinion, defending Westbrook must be easier than defending Durant.

But if they defend Westbrook themselves, who will they send to defend Durant?
Durant is obviously a big killer that is more difficult to guard than Westbrook!
At the end of the second quarter, the audience was surprised to find that the score was 51:51.

The Lakers even bit the score!
林天的个人数据是20分4篮板2助攻2抢断1盖帽。

Kobe's data is 12 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assists.

Durant's data for the Thunder is 16 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.

Westbrook scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Throughout the first half, Westbrook played the smoothest, because neither Russell nor Lu Wei on the Lakers side could guard against him.

Kobe also took the initiative to guard him at times, but with little success.

When we returned to the locker room to rest, everyone was in a pretty good mood.

The Thunder can play like this at halftime, they are already very satisfied.

Only Kobe couldn't see a smile on his face. Sometimes even if the team won a game, Kobe might not be very happy.

Lin Tian smiled and patted Kobe on the shoulder: "Hey! Kobe! We have a great chance of winning today."

Kobe looked back, still without a smile on his face: "Everyone's defense was too lax in the first half! We could have taken the lead!"

Getting used to Kobe's paranoia, Lin Tian didn't say anything.

Nick Young, Russell and others looked at each other in blank dismay.

"After the second half starts, I hope everyone can cheer up! Keep an eye on the players you defend! Don't always let others wipe your ass."

When Kobe spoke, his eyes swept over a group of young Lakers players.

Russell, Randall and others either lowered their heads or looked elsewhere, not daring to look at Kobe.

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Kobe continued: "Don't think that we will lose if we play the Thunder! As long as we play our best, we can win any of the other 29 teams! Don't look down on yourself!

……

Kobe's speech in the away locker room at halftime did play a big role.

At the beginning of the third quarter, several starters of the Lakers seemed to have been hit with chicken blood, which caused Westbrook to make several mistakes.

After gaining the ball, they did not let down the opponent's mistakes and scored the ball repeatedly.

Most of those goals were scored by Lin Tian holding the ball.

Now he has basically been defaulted as the first choice of the Lakers.

Of course, Kobe's delegating behavior is also very obvious.

The Thunder also adjusted their tactics. As soon as Lin Tian received the ball, he might face double-teaming.

Even so, Lin Tian still has a way to deal with it.

When the offense is opened, their defense will work even harder!

In the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, Lin Tian took a rest again. At this time, he had already scored 30 points under the defense of Durant.

So much so that when the Thunder players saw Lin Tian taking a break, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This young player of the Lakers almost destroyed their defense line with Lin Tian's own strength.

Lin Tian sat back on the bench, took the energy drink and towel handed over by the staff, and looked up at the score while wiping his sweat.

Their score now surpassed the Thunder by 6 points!
Throughout the third quarter, their effort was indeed higher than that of the Thunder, which caught the Thunder by surprise.

Among them, Westbrook's several fouls also played a role.

It is rare to have a few minutes of rest time, Lin Tian watched the players on the field gallop.

At this time, the Thunder also replaced the main force, and Lu Wei led the team to continue to work hard.

It may not be reliable to let him defend him, but if he wants to score, Lu Wei did not let them down.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers always maintained a 6-point lead.

So much so that Thunder fans couldn't help booing their players at this time.

A team that is almost at the bottom of the Western Conference has played like this, and the Lakers are still back to back. It is no wonder that Thunder fans will be dissatisfied.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lin Tian sat on the bench with Kobe as usual.

The Lakers team led by Lu Wei was still extremely chest tight at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Power forward Randall also rarely showed a strong desire to score.

The young players of the Lakers, including Nance Jr. and Randall, are actually extremely talented physically.

This can be seen from their usual bounce.

Seeing Randall jumping forcefully under the basket and scoring a 2+1 against Ibaka, Kobe also showed a rare smile: "These bastards! They are obviously talented, and they can work harder! But they look like they haven't woken up all day."

He looked at Randall, who was walking towards the free throw line, and couldn't hide his envy and loneliness.
