NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 84 Go straight to the young Antetokounmpo!

The phrase Scott repeats most to his players is "move the ball up."

It's just that this may be a bit difficult for Lu Wei, Nick Young and Clarkson.

At the beginning of the second quarter, it was Lin Tian and Kobe's rest time, and Russell also rested.

The Lakers are still on the final lineup of the first quarter, and the ball handler has become Lu Wei.

The Bucks also had a few substitutes.

Among the several substitute players of the Bucks, Lin Tian was most impressed by OJ Mayo.

Because of his previous life, OJ Mayo played in the CBA for two seasons.

Not surprisingly, this is also OJ Mayo's last season playing for the Bucks.

The Bucks' substitutes are obviously stronger than the Lakers in terms of spirit, and I don't know if it has something to do with the home atmosphere bonus.

As the main force, Jabari Parker did not rest, but he led the team to widen the point difference.

Several substitutes on the Lakers side continued to work hard, especially Nick Young, who didn't make any shots today.

Seeing that the point difference between the two sides had widened to 7 points, Scott couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly replaced Lin Tian with Zhang Zhenchang.

Nick Young was replaced in less than 5 minutes after his debut, mainly because the Lakers' rotation was really stretched.

Although Jabari Parker performed extremely hard to defend Lin Tian in the first quarter, it is even more unrealistic for others to defend Lin Tian.

Antetokounmpo and Middleton are still resting, Parker can only bite the bullet.

The Lakers served, Lin Tian held the ball and stood at the top of the arc, while Lu Wei and Clarkson stood on the flanks.

Among them, Lu Wei stretched out his hands and was ready to catch the ball at any time, while Clarkson was quite active and kept running without the ball.

Regardless of whether he can catch the ball or not, as long as he runs, he can interfere with the Bucks' defense to a certain extent.

Lin Tian seized the opportunity and passed the second pick Parker with a crossover in a rage, and went straight to Huanglong in the middle.

At this time, the Bucks' starting center Greg Monroe had already rested, and John Henson was at the center position.

Seeing Lin Tian rushing into the inside line and taking off, the thin John Henson dared not confront him head-on. He just raised his hand symbolically, but his body involuntarily moved aside.

"Bang!" Lin Tian ended this round of offense with a dunk, which also made the home court a little quieter.

But he knew it wasn't enough.

The next round was the Bucks' offensive round. Lin Tian settled down early and stared at his defender Jabari Parker.

Not only that, but his eyes have been observing the surrounding situation.

The Bucks are currently in charge of possession of the ball or Michael Williams, after all, it is impossible for all five players on the court to be substitute players.

Lin Tian shouted to Lu Wei and the others: "Follow closely!"

He is not usually a talkative person in the team, but the situation is different on the court.

The main reason is that some players in the team are really not very active in defense. If they keep emphasizing defense, they will become more focused.

Lin Tian's proclamation seemed to have really played a certain role. Lu Wei obviously became more active and followed Michael Williams tightly.

Michael Williams was the 2013th overall pick in 11, a lottery player.

He averaged 14 points per game in the Bucks last season, and his performance was not bad.

But with the growth of Antetokounmpo this season, Michael Williams' number of shots has dropped more seriously.

In addition, he is a guard without three points, which is extremely embarrassing.

Now that Antetokounmpo and Middleton are not on the court, it is a good opportunity for him to score points.

Facing Lu Wei's defense, Michael Williams originally wanted to play singles, but this time Lu Wei defended desperately and did not get rid of him.

As a point guard with good assist ability, Michael Williams directly passed the ball to Jabari Parker on the wing.

As soon as the ball was thrown, Lin Tian, ​​who was standing next to Jabari Parker, rushed over reflexively and grabbed the basketball halfway.

Because he was standing on the flank, there was only one Jabari Parker beside Lin Tian at this time.

He took the ball and took a step and ran to the frontcourt of the Lakers.

Jabari Parker missed the first foul, and it was too late to catch Lin Tian.

In the end, he could only watch Lin Tian rush to the frontcourt of the Lakers, and made another dunk, completing a one-stop attack!

This is also the first time in this game that Lin Tian has completed steals and scored one-stop!

The point difference was pulled back to three points, and the gap between the two sides was even smaller.

"Om..." Jabari Parker was about to serve from the baseline when the buzzer sounded, and Middleton and Antetokounmpo returned to the court.

Jabari Parker and Michael Williams were replaced.

In the studio, the broadcast camera was replaying Lin Tian's steal just now, and Barkley said with a smile: "Sure enough! Lin Tian's steal and scoring are still coming! He will present such a wonderful shot every game."

"Yes." Smith said, "Actually, Giannis of the Bucks often offers this kind of shot."

"Jabari Parker, the second pick in 2014, has nothing against Lin. They should change their defensive strategy against Lin Tian."

"Maybe it's a good choice to let Giannis guard Lin. Giannis moves very fast laterally and has big hands."

"I think no matter how fast Giannis is, I'm afraid he may not be able to catch up with Lin! Even Kawhi of the Spurs can't guard Lin."

"That's not necessarily the case. Giannis has a height advantage, and his bounce is exaggerated."

"66666! Lin Tian's steals and dunks may be late, but he will never be absent!"

"The No. 2014 pick in [-] was completely crushed in front of Lin Tian."

"I'm really looking forward to Brother Antetokounmpo to defend Lin Tian, ​​but their positions seem to be different. One plays the 3rd position and the other plays the 4th position."

"Come on, Lin Tian! We must win the Bucks!"

……

After Jabari Parker went down to rest, the Bucks served from the bottom corner.

Without Brother Antetokounmpo to defend himself, Lin Tian took the initiative to follow Brother Antetokounmpo.

In this way, he will face Brother Antetokounmpo, and Nance Jr. will face John Henson.

Through the previous few games, Lin Tian has proved that he can defend from position one to position five.

Now facing Antetokounmpo, his figure doesn't look as strong as Antetokounmpo.

And this is just Antetokounmpo who hasn't fully grown up.

In another two years, when Antetokounmpo completely completes his evolution, he will be a well-deserved Greek monster.

After Middleton dribbled the ball twice, he passed the ball directly to Antetokounmpo.

Brother Antetokounmpo's offensive methods are not so rich now. After he got the ball, he started to hit Lin Tian with his back and gouged it directly.

Although Lin Tian looked thin, his lower body was extremely stable and he was as immovable as a mountain. When Antetokounmpo was digging in, the two of them confronted each other, but Lin Tian was as stable as Mount Tai.
