I fell in love with Toutiao and became the GOAT.

The Lakers, who had just called a timeout a minute earlier, were forced to call another timeout by Lin Bei's two defensive plays.

Kobe started complaining as soon as he left the court: "Fxxk, it's all your fault, Antetokounmpo! I finally found my rhythm, and you ruined it all!"

Bynum, the little shark, hung his head, not even thinking of arguing.

After all, Kobe learned from Jordan inside and out, including the art of putting pressure on teammates.

Shaq, who joined the Lakers in 05, was already used to the pressure Kobe put on him.

So one theory is that Shaq's rapid decline after leaving the Lakers was because he lost the pressure Kobe put on him.

Mike Brown felt that the Lakers' problem after the last timeout was Kobe's fault, but if Kobe had just passed the ball twice, he wouldn't have been forced to call two timeouts in one minute.

But Mike Brown, who was used to being a nanny-style head coach, subconsciously wouldn't go against the team's star player.

So he didn't say anything, but just took out a tactical board: "Their inside players are at a great disadvantage in height and size, so a 10-point deficit is nothing. As long as we focus on attacking their inside players, we can quickly close the gap."

Although Kobe was reluctant to give up possession of the ball, he knew that at this moment, he should indeed give it up.

So, after another timeout, Lin Bei faced off against the suddenly very active Little Shark under the basket.

Xiao Sha has once again secured a key position for Lin Bei, but his heart is still filled with anger. He almost couldn't hold back when Kobe pressured him earlier.

Mike Brown's timeout adjustment was exactly what Xiao Sha wanted. He was already planning to completely tear apart Lin Bei's defense in the next offensive play, in order to vent his anger.

Kobe controlled the ball at the top of the key, and Lin Bei thought that Xiao Sha was going to waste his energy trying to get into position again.

The next second, Kobe seized the opportunity and passed the ball in with a bounce pass.

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly mocking: "Hey, Anzhu, you're all better now, you can actually catch the ball."

Little Shark ignored everything, focusing all his attention on the basketball in his hands.

He still remembered the last time he fought Lin Bei in a one-on-one match, when he was unleashing his full power but Lin Bei tricked him and ripped his groin.

So this time, he was very careful to push forward with his back turned, and dared not exert any sudden force.

However, without exerting a sudden burst of strength, Lin Bei easily leveled the gap between the two, holding his own against Little Shark and refusing to give an inch.

Little Shark made two attempts to advance, but made no progress whatsoever. Helpless, he could only turn his back, hoping to use his footwork to create enough space to make a move.

Lin Bei's defense was impenetrable. His long arms stretched out, firmly blocking Xiao Sha's face and obscuring all his shooting angles.

Backed into a corner, Little Shark could only barely raise his hand at the far end and send out a elusive hook.

Clang!

As the shot hit the backboard, Lin Bei turned and positioned himself to secure the rebound.

Little Shark's emotions were slightly out of control. He couldn't accept the fact that he had been locked up by Lin Bei again, and in a fit of rage, he tried to snatch it back on the spot.

Lin Bei simply held the ball steadily, patiently waiting for Curry to drop back and receive the pass.

The little shark's movements weren't clean; it touched his arm several times, but the referee stood by, unmoved.

Lin Bei didn't care whether the foul was called or not, since he hadn't reached the foul limit yet, and even if he was called for a foul, he wouldn't be able to get to the free throw line.

Curry receives the pass, and the Warriors launch a counterattack.

In the frontcourt, Lin Bei screened for Curry again.

However, the Lakers were already on high alert to defend the Warriors' pick-and-roll offense before the timeout, so the pick-and-roll naturally came to nothing.

The ball was then passed to David Lee, who received it in the low post, turned and jumped, but the ball grazed the rim and missed.

Lin Bei lost to Xiao Sha in the battle for position under the basket.

In this situation where he's completely off the ball and doesn't have a pre-established position to mark his opponent, he's definitely no match for Little Shark.

But then the Lakers passed the ball to Little Shark again. This was Little Shark's third time challenging Lin Bei's defense in this game, and he had failed the first two times.

After the first failure, Xiao Sha thought it was because Lin Bei lacked martial ethics and resorted to sneak attacks.

It was only after the second defeat that he truly realized Lin Bei's defensive prowess; that sense of pressure was something that no ordinary center could possess.

This is the third time, and a hint of fear has crept into Little Shark's heart. But Kobe's rebuke still echoes in his ears, and the anger in his heart has not subsided. He can only grit his teeth and launch another challenge.

This time, he increased his pace slightly, holding the basketball tightly with one hand to prevent Lin Bei from stealing it, and moved his feet with difficulty, slowly approaching the basket.

Upon reaching the basket, Little Shark suddenly flipped over and leaped to shoot. He roared hysterically, using all his strength to push Lin Bei aside and throw the basketball forcefully towards the hoop.

Just as the basketball was released, Lin Bei suddenly grabbed Xiao Sha's shoulder and, using the excellent speed granted by [Warcraft's Dunk], leaped into the air, his body moving like an arrow, instantly catching up with the basketball that was still rising.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound of a block echoed throughout the Staples Center as Lin Bei slammed his hand onto the basketball, pinning it firmly against the backboard.

Commentator Bill Walton instantly raised his voice excitedly: "A nail-studded hat! From Best Lin!"

"This guy is definitely an underrated rim protector. I've been commentating on two or three of his games, and every time the Warriors' paint becomes a real no-fly zone because of him!"

No one can easily break through his defense; he is the anchor of the Warriors' paint!

As Bill Walton went wild with praise, the Warriors' bench erupted in cheers, and even the Staples Center, which had already turned against their own team a few minutes earlier, joined in the jubilation.

On the court, Lin Bei grabbed the basketball that he had pinned to the backboard, and after landing, he threw the basketball to Curry with one hand and then roared loudly.

After staggering a couple of steps after his layup attempt, Little Shark, who barely managed to regain his balance, looked at Lin Bei with eyes full of fear.

"Is this guy's defense unbeatable?"

……

Lin Bei's defense was unbeatable; he locked down the Lakers' second-leading scorer this season, Shaq, and prevented the Lakers from launching their second offensive attack after a timeout.

Meanwhile, Lakers' long-time shrew complained once again during the official timeout of this quarter: "I really don't know what we're playing!"

After the official timeout ended, Kobe completely took over the Lakers' offense, with the ball almost entirely in his hands. He began to engage in relentless one-on-one attacks, attempting to lead the Lakers to catch up through sheer force of his own.

Mike Brown stood on the sidelines, unable to stop it, nor could he.

Kobe's personality is such that once he makes a decision, no one can change it.

More importantly, Mike Brown was truly out of options:

Bynum was completely shut down by Lin Bei and had no chance to fight back; Gasol was just coasting the whole time, and even when she stepped up, she couldn't hurt the Warriors.

The Lakers had no choice but to give the ball back to Kobe.

But Kobe's performance in this game was also mediocre.

Although Lin Bei successfully defended two crucial one-on-one opportunities against Kobe, in reality, Lin Bei didn't dare to easily let Xiao Sha go out to help defend Kobe unless Xiao Sha stepped out to set a screen.

Overall, it was Klay Thompson's contribution that made every attack by Kobe so difficult. Klay's tenacious defense made every attack by Kobe very challenging.

Michael Thompson, the commentator for the Staples Center home game, also praised his son: "Klay really played well; he wasn't afraid of Kobe Bryant..."

Through repeated forced shots, Kobe gradually found his rhythm and began to score intermittently.

But the balance of this match was already tilted from the very beginning:

The Lakers fell behind by 10 points at the start and failed to come up with any effective ways to catch up. In fact, the outcome of the game was already decided long ago.

Towards the end of the first quarter, Lin Bei also completed a pick-and-roll and scored an easy basket under the basket.

本节结束，他单节独得10分5个篮板1个助攻1个抢断和1个盖帽。

The Warriors also led the Lakers by 12 points in the quarter, with a score of 34-22.

After that, Lin Bei frantically read the competition...
