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

In back-to-back games, the Lakers have a record of [-] win and [-] loss, which is still acceptable for Monty.

After all, there will be a lot of tough battles for the Lakers next.

In addition to playing against the Nets, there are Pelicans and Warriors waiting for them.

So during this period of time, the Lakers have had more tough battles.

Here the Lakers team also arrived in Brooklyn.

For this game, the entire Lakers team attaches great importance to it.

Although the Nets' Galaxy Battleship was defeated by the Celtics last season.

But if you underestimate this team, you'd be wrong.

The combination of James and Durant is equivalent to the combination of Ronaldo and Messi on the football field.

Let alone the defensive aspect of such a combination, there is no need to worry about offense at all.

Last season, the Nets also suffered from the inexperience of the rookies.

In the playoffs, it was completely supported by James and Durant.

As soon as Durant was injured, the Nets' offense was instantly disintegrated.

But this season is different.

Several people on the Nets side who performed well last season have all grown up this season.

Dinwiddie has been in the NBA for so many years, and he finally played it.

This season has become the best helper around Jan Du.

Similarly, Joe Harris, Jarrett Allen, and Caris Luft have all grown up.

In addition, they have veteran Dudley and others on the bench.

The Nets this season can be called the real Galaxy battleship.

Monty was in the hotel room, watching the Nets lineup and game video, his brows were also frowned.

The Nets this season have put a lot of pressure on Monty.

Especially the forward lineup that the Nets are good at playing now.

That's really similar to the Lakers' tactics.

The cooperation of Lang Dai, James, and Durant can be said to be quite tacit.

Especially Lang Dai's defense is simply a replica of Tucker.

Monty thought for a long time before taking out his phone and making a call.

"Come to my room."

After a while, Kaleman came over.

"what happened?"

"To what extent has Anthony's defense recovered now?"

After Monty let Kaleman in, he also asked directly.

"That depends on who is defending."

"Where's James?"

"Who!?"

"My God, you're not kidding, it's impossible."

When Monty heard what Kaleman said, he also fell into a predicament.

"The Nets' starting three-forward lineup is too unfavorable for us!"

"It was okay when Anthony was there, but now that Anthony is on the bench, it is a loophole for Gibson to defend anyone."

As soon as Monty said this, Kaleman naturally understood.

After all, Gibson's speed is not the same concept as Jandu.

After Kaleman thought for a while, he suddenly thought of someone.

"You said, is it okay to promote Caruso to the starting lineup?"

"Ok?"

When Monty heard the name, his eyes lit up.

"Yes, Caruso is someone who can play swingers!"

"Let him score and put Tucker back to the power forward position, which will limit the opponent very well."

After Monty finished speaking, Kaleman continued.

"Caruso's current defense is really good!"

"As long as he plays well this season, he can enter the best defensive second team without accident."

Monty didn't have any doubts about Kaleman's words.

Because Kaleman is the best defensive coach Monty has ever seen.

"Then it's settled, let Caruso start tomorrow's game."

Soon the time came to the second night.

The first matchup between the Lakers and the Nets this season is about to start.

This time O'Neill, Barkley and Kenny were not absent.

After all, they have been looking forward to this match for a long time.

"So far this season, the Lakers are still so stable!"

"Although there are some ups and downs in the record, it can be seen that they gave up strategically!"

"On the other hand, the Nets, this season is their harvest time!"

"Last season, the Nets were completely a two-person team!"

"But this season, the team's rookies have all grown up, so this season's Nets will definitely become a powerful team in the Eastern Conference."

Sitting in the commentary booth, Barkley also analyzed the current situation of the two teams.

O'Neal on the side also said at this time.

"Actually, this game is very unfavorable for the Lakers!"

"Anthony's current state is not very stable, and the team has a lot of newcomers!"

"So in this game, if the Lakers want to win, the key lies in Chen Tian!"

"In contrast to the Nets, the team's current atmosphere is very good!"

"They are also in a winning streak, and the direct cooperation between Durant and James is becoming more and more tacit!"

"So in this game, the Nets have a great advantage."

At this time, Kenny has already got the starting list of the two teams.

After seeing the starting rosters of the two teams, Kenny was a little shocked at first, but he quickly reacted.

"Now the starting rosters of the two teams are out!"

"For the Nets, the starting combination of Dinwiddie, Lang Dai, Durant, James and Allen!"

"This is also the Nets, the most used starting lineup this season!"

"Looking at the Lakers, they made adjustments in starting this game!"

"The starting lineup of Rose, Caruso, Chen Tian, ​​Tucker and Jokic!"

"It can be clearly seen that the Lakers are dealing with the opponent's lineup in a targeted manner."

When Barkley and O'Neal heard the starting lineup, they both looked at each other and nodded.

At this time, the match between the two teams is about to begin.

Jokic and Allen both stood in the middle circle.

The referee threw the ball high, and Allen also struggled to jump the ball, and the game officially started.

For this game, whether it is James or Durant, they have been looking forward to it for a long time.

The Nets this season have made them very confident.

The shame of last season, they will all get it back this season.

So at the beginning of the game, the fighting spirit in the eyes of both of them was very high.

When Chen Tian saw this scene, he also knew that this match could not be reserved.

Otherwise, the score will be opened by the opponent in minutes.

Durant ran back here, and James immediately passed the ball.

Durant was also catching the ball and preparing to shoot directly, but Chen Tian arrived in time, making Durant also lose a great opportunity.

Having confronted Chen Tian so many times, Durant also knew that if he chose to make a forceful shot at this time, he would probably be blocked by Chen Tian.

So Durant also stabilized.

Then after Durant feinted continuously, he also leaned back and threw the ball.

The first ball didn't feel very good, so I didn't score it.

Jokic grabbed the rebound at the basket and passed the ball to Rose.

Rose also launched a counterattack immediately.

Then he leaned on James and prepared to score a layup.

But there was a loneliness on the ball, and it rolled out after a circle.

Just when Allen was about to close the rebound.

Chen Tian suddenly descended from the sky, and when he flew up, he pressed the ball into the basket.

"Beautiful, it's so beautiful, Chen Tian made an amazing dunk and dunked the ball into the basket."

After Chen Tian landed, the coldness in his eyes swept over Zhan and Du one by one.

This made James and Durant tremble in their hearts.

Only at this moment did they realize that Chen Tian had already reached the point where they could hold his own.

James and Durant looked at each other.

They both saw fear in each other's eyes, but they couldn't back down.

Because as long as they retreat, they will no longer be able to defeat Chen Tian.

So after a short period of fear, they still strengthened their hearts.

In turn, the Nets attacked here, and Durant also used the cover to score a jumper.

This is the current Nets. There is no need for complicated tactics at all, as long as the ball is handed over to James and Durant.

On the Lakers side, Jokic is still the core of tactics.

Tucker received a pass from the bottom corner, but unfortunately did not score a three-pointer.

Allen took the rebound, and the Nets immediately pushed back.

Chen Tian returned to defense in a timely manner. When James was about to make a layup, Chen Tian had already arrived.

James saw Chen Tian from the corner of his eye, and immediately passed the ball to Dinwiddie.

Dinwiddie caught the ball and scored the ball easily.

"Oh, James played this ball very smartly, but also very cowardly!"

"He didn't dare to really confront Chen Tian."

Seeing this scene, O'Neill also laughed and said.

But no matter what, the team's scoring is the most critical.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers' offense did not go very smoothly.

Rose's mid-range shot and Jokic's fadeaway shot all missed.

This allowed the Nets to open the score.

When Chen Tian saw this situation, he immediately stood up.

He was on the defensive end first, blocking Allen's tip.

Then on the offensive end, under the double-teaming of James and Durant, he was able to score a layup and caused a foul by James, scoring 2+1.

The goal was scored, and Chen Tian shouted excitedly after landing.

After that, the combination of Chen Tian and Zhan Du also became fiercer.

Durant turned around and stepped back and made a mid-range shot.

Chen Tian rushed to the basket immediately, pulled the bar and scored a layup.

James started, directly confronted the body and scored a layup.

Chen Tian received a pass from Jokic and scored with a dunk with both hands.

The direct confrontation between the three brought the game to its climax from the first quarter.

"This game is really not in vain!"

"From the first quarter of the game, the two teams have entered the best state."

At this time, players have already begun to rotate on the court.

Jr came up and scored a three-pointer.

It also shared the pressure on Chen Tian's offensive end.

But on the other hand, Joha didn't give up too much, and he also made three-pointers after receiving the ball.

This keeps the tug-of-war between the two teams still going on.

Matthew assisted McGee and scored an empty dunk.

Luft also made a layup and scored the ball after shaking continuously.

The role players of the two teams also started to play at this time.

"This game is really all in the state!"

"It's really wonderful."

And with the passage of time, the time for the first quarter of the two teams is running out.

At this time, Chen Tian once again assisted Yi Jianlian to score in the mid-range shot.

On the other hand, for the Nets, Durant didn't seize the final opportunity at the buzzer and missed the basket under Chen Tian's interference.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams scored 33:30.

The Nets temporarily lead by three points.
