NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

After defeating the Suns, the best news for the Lakers is the good thing that Brunson has completely exploded.

When Chen Tian returned to the locker room, he was also taken aback.

Because the group was going to celebrate Brunson.

But Brunson was being interviewed, and as soon as Chen Tian entered, they subconsciously thought that Brunson had returned.

"Oh shit, you should also look at it, Brunson is as handsome as me."

As soon as Chen Tian said this, the entire locker room burst out laughing.

"Give me the ball, and I'll pass the ball to him when he comes in, and then it's up to you."

Here Brunson also returned to the locker room after the interview.

Just as he pushed the door in, Chen Tian also passed the ball to him.

Brunson took the basketball subconsciously, just when he was in a daze.

A large bucket of ice water was also poured down.

Immediately, Brunson also shouted.

Then everyone in the locker room celebrated together.

Brunson also laughed happily under the ravages of the crowd.

After this game, Brunson is definitely famous in the NBA.

After winning this game, the Lakers also returned to Los Angeles.

Because next they will face the challenge of the Nuggets back to back.

I have to say that the Nuggets team is destined to be God's rise.

Although Jokic was lost, the combination of Murray and Nurkic also gave the Nuggets the power to hit the playoffs again.

Plus the team's veteran Millsap.

The Nuggets this season have also become a dark horse in the West.

In the Western Conference this season, except for the two absolute strong teams of the Lakers and Spurs.

The Warriors, Rockets, Thunder, and Pelicans are also eyeing.

The Suns, Timberwolves, Nuggets, and Jazz are also preparing to do something.

To say that the most uncomfortable thing now is the Blazers.

The current strength of this team is not going up or down.

The Clippers, Grizzlies, Mavericks and Kings are all on the road to reconstruction.

Only he is a bit difficult to hit the playoffs. If it is rebuilt, the team's lineup is still very unwilling.

So now the pattern of the Western Conference, except for the Trail Blazers, the goals of other teams are very clear.

After returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers were also preparing for the game against the Nuggets the next day.

Because of Brunson's wonderful performance in the last game, Monty also confirmed his starting position.

Matthew's current position on the team is a traditional point guard.

It's amazing to say that the Lakers have three guards, and neither of them is very good at passing the ball.

So the important task of organizing the scoring off the bench fell to Matthew.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets is about to begin.

The Nuggets' starting lineup.

Murray, Gary Harris, Torrey Craig, Millsap and Nurkic.

This lineup can be said to be very balanced inside and outside.

The Lakers still use the starting lineup of the previous game.

Brunson continues to appear in the starting roster.

After the start of the game between the two teams, the Nuggets took the lead.

They played the most tacit tactics, I am Nurkic and Murray's pick-and-roll cooperation.

Both Nurkic and Jokic were played by European players.

So the playing styles of the two are very similar in many places, so Nurkic's shots are also very soft.

And Murray is really playing out now.

Especially since the start of this season, wonderful scoring has frequently appeared.

Fairy ball can be said to be quite a lot.

In the opening game, the Nuggets used the strongest tactics.

The Lakers are not idle either, the cooperation between Jokic and Chen Tian has become more and more mature.

The tactics of the two are also quite clear.

Under Chen Tian's consecutive scoring, the Lakers quickly caught up.

But then veteran Millsap came into play.

His consecutive backs against Gibson succeeded, which also gave the Nuggets a temporary lead in the score.

But soon Brunson played here.

He first received a pass from Jokic and scored from outside the three-point line.

After that, he cooperated with Chen Tian and Jokic to score a fast break layup.

Then Tucker's three-pointer from the bottom corner was also a shot.

In an instant, the Lakers caught up with the score.

Afterwards, Chen Tian and others went down to rest, and the two teams also replaced with substitute players.

After jr came up, he received a pass from Matthew and shot a three-pointer directly.

The ball is also scored steadily.

The goal was scored, and Chen Tian stood up and applauded jr.

Then the insider Yi Jianlian also blocked Plumlee's two-handed dunk.

This block made the fans in the audience cheer.

But Primley was blocked because of this goal, and suddenly got a little bit over the top.

Turning around, I have to reason with Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian immediately roared.

"What are you doing! Arguing with me! I'll blow your head off!"

Yi Jianlian's shout made Plumlee stunned.

It was only at this moment that he remembered who this was in front of him.

This is the person who inherited the mantle of Ci Shiping.

When Chen Tian heard Yi Jianlian's shout from the audience, he was startled.

I have to say that since Yi Jianlian came to the Lakers, it seems that he has completely let go.

Under Yi Jianlian's roar, the farce that was supposed to appear just like that dissipated.

Chen Tian was in admiration.

If Chen Tian conquered the NBA with his skills, then Yi Jianlian really conquered the NBA with his fists.

After the game continued, the morale of the Nuggets was obviously damaged.

Don't look at things as trivial, it's easy to cause morale problems.

The Lakers' role players also took the opportunity to play a wave of [-]-to-[-] offensive climax.

One sentence overtook and opened the score.

At the end of the half, the Lakers led the Nuggets by nine points 57:48.

After the start of the second half of the game, the Nuggets also made frequent shots from the outside.

Barton and Harris also scored three-pointers one after another.

But at this moment, Chen Tian began to explode.

He is now hitting the inside and dunking Millsap.

After that, there were three consecutive singles, and Harris succeeded in backing.

Then Jokic also played Nurkic on the inside with his footsteps, scoring consecutive inside shots.

This brought the Nuggets' chasing momentum to an abrupt end.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the Nuggets 117:104 without bloodshed.

After winning the Nuggets, the Lakers will have four consecutive away games.

Looking at Chen Tian's match schedule, Wang Changxi also said distressedly.

"After these four games, a week has passed!"

"This line of work is also quite hard."

When Chen Tian heard what his mother said, he also laughed.

"Mom, it's still good. We had eight consecutive aways in the previous season!"

"That's really not at home for more than half a month."

When Wang Changxi heard this, she also nodded.

For her, now she hopes that the child can be by her side, after all, she owes her too much.

But children have their own careers, and their parents must support them.

After a day of rest at home, the four-game schedule also began.

In these four games, except for the last one, the opponents in the other three games were not that strong.

Timberwolves, Mavericks, Trail Blazers and Spurs.

It can be said that the last opponent is the biggest headache for the Lakers.

The remaining three teams, the Lone Ranger is on the road to reconstruction, the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers are both in the playoffs, but the strength is not enough.

The first opponent of the Four Links is the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves' actions this offseason are still not small.

They retained the team's two cores Towns and Ingram.

Klay Thompson was also obtained in the four-way trade.

With three players at the core, the team also strengthened veterans Teague and Ruhr Deng.

From the perspective of paper strength, the team's goal must be the playoffs.

But after 6 games in the new season, the Timberwolves have achieved a record of 3 wins and 3 losses.

It wasn't too bad a score, but it wasn't that good either.

Not so great for the fans who expected them to perform.

After the start of the game between the two teams, the Timberwolves with Clay were obviously much stronger on the outside.

Under Tucker's defense, Clay scored consecutive difficult three-pointers.

In the first quarter of the game, the Timberwolves also overwhelmed the Lakers in terms of offense.

This makes the home fans very happy.

But after the start of the second quarter, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

Chen Tian began to take over the game.

Ingram's success in consecutive singles also made Ingram very frustrated.

And Towns, who was supposed to have the advantage inside, couldn't beat Jokic with a back hit.

And Jokic, taking advantage of his footsteps, successfully scored consecutive goals.

This time the advantage of the Timberwolves is gone.

Only Clay was left struggling to support.

After that, Monty replaced Tucker with jr, which meant to strengthen the team's offense.

After jr came up, the team's offensive firepower on the outside line has been strengthened a lot.

There are also more opportunities for Chen Tian to hit the basket.

Throughout the second quarter, the rhythm was firmly controlled by the Lakers.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers had already led by 11 points.

For this team, Chen Tian feels that it is already doing well.

Because judging from the first quarter, they already know how to win.

Instead of falling into singles completely when the score is behind.

It can be said that the reconstruction of this team has basically been completed.

But how far it can go depends on the performance of Towns and Ingram.

Anyway, in the previous life, Ingram was okay, but Downs was notoriously soft.

There is absolutely no advantage in the paint.

He is still a bit slow playing outside, so this needs to be overcome by Towns.

After the start of the second half of the game between the two teams, the Timberwolves really organized several good counterattacks.

After consecutive passes, Clay made an open three-pointer.

Ingram made a difficult layup on the inside.

Towns' mid-range shots are still good.

But their defense is terrible.

Especially Jokic's inside offense, after knowing Towns' strength, Jokic is simply bullying the opponent.

Chen Tian felt that Downs had been psychologically shadowed in this match.

In the end, the whole game was over, and the Lakers won the game 112:98 without any suspense.

Chen Tian clocked out of get off work in three quarters and scored 28 points in the game, which can be said to be a fairly satisfactory result.

After winning this game, the Lakers also arrived in Dallas, preparing to challenge the Mavericks away.
