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

Monty yelled at everyone during the break in the third quarter, humiliating them all.

Whether it's Jokic or Rose, they are all bowing their heads now.

Everyone dared not look at Chen Tian and Monty.

At this time, the fourth quarter of the game is about to start.

Monty also stood up and looked at everyone.

"In the fourth quarter, this is the time for you to prove yourself, I want to see your determination!"

"Instead of a bunch of cowardly guys who don't know what to do there!"

"All ready to play."

After Monty shouted, Jokic and the others also raised their heads.

At this moment, Jokic and the others knew that this short twelve-minute game was their time to prove themselves.

They could never be protected by Chen Tian all the time.

Tucker also stood up and shouted at this time.

"Cheer up, we are no worse than anyone else!"

"Play!"

Everyone roared, and Jokic, Rose and others followed Tucker onto the stage.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams returned to the field, but Chen Tian did not show up, which made the fans very puzzled.

Not to mention the fans in the audience, even the Thunder team was confused.

To know Chen Tian's state in the third quarter, that is simply God.

But it didn't come back at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Regarding Chen Tian not coming back, no one would think about physical strength.

If this is the first season or the second season, some people will still raise such doubts.

But now no one questioned Chen Tian's physical strength.

No matter what the reason is for Chen Tian, ​​it is good news for the Thunder that he does not return to the court.

Donovan also took both Westbrook and Paul George up. This is an opportunity for them to chase points.

After the Lakers lacked Chen Tian, ​​their main offensive force was Jokic.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Jokic asked for the ball from the low post inside, and then directly singled Adams to score the ball with a final hook.

Conversely, on the Thunder side, Westbrook and Paul George also easily scored the ball with a jumper.

Tucker was also jumping and shouting on the field at this time.

"Defense, improve our defense!"

Tucker's status in the team is very high, so Tucker's shout and the others all nodded.

In the following time, Tucker's complete close defense against Paul George made Paul George unable to find a good offensive opportunity.

On Westbrook's side, Rose and Caruso also frequently double-teamed, allowing Westbrook to pass the ball out.

Such a defensive attitude caused the Thunder's offensive efficiency to drop seriously.

But the Lakers' defense is up, but their state on the offensive end is not very good.

Whether it is Rose's shooting or Jokic's singles inside, the effect is not very good.

This put the offense of the two teams into a dilemma.

At this time, Paul George finally stood up.

He first used the cover to shake off Tucker's defense, and then scored with an elegant mid-range shot.

After that, he forced a three-pointer to score.

This consecutive five points also brought the score back.

Now the Thunder are only 5 points behind on the field.

Jokic's current hand feeling is not very good, and he quickly changed his offensive strategy.

This time he hit the ground pass from the top of the arc and assisted Caruso to score a layup.

With this goal scored, the offensive drought on the Lakers' side was finally broken.

When Monty saw this scene, he also nodded, and then waved to jr.

It is also planned to replace jr.

Monty thought for a while, and then waved to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian is also going to be replaced.

This will strengthen the team's offensive options.

In the following time, the two teams also fell into a tug-of-war.

The offense of Westbrook and Paul George made it difficult for the Lakers to defend.

But the Lakers' substitutions have improved their offense a lot.

Soon it was the last minute.

At this time, the Lakers still lead by four points.

Tucker also clapped his hands at everyone.

"Defend this goal, and the victory is ours."

Everyone on the Lakers side is also ready.

After Paul George came over with the ball, he immediately called for a pick-and-roll when he saw Tucker's defense.

But this time Tucker did not choose to switch defenses, but directly bypassed the pick-and-roll.

Once again posted Paul George.

Seeing that he didn't get rid of Tucker, Paul George quickly passed the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook immediately held the ball and took advantage of his body, crushing Rose and rushing to the inside.

Just as Westbrook layup, Yi Jianlian arrived.

Yi Jianlian jumped up and blocked Westbrook's layup.

After the ball was defended, Chen Tian also stood up on the bench to applaud them.

Jr received the rebound, and the Lakers were not in a hurry to attack.

Rose is also pressing time with the ball.

With seven seconds left on the clock, Ross started the drive.

But when Rose hit the inside line, he saw jr's position and immediately passed the ball.

Jr received the ball without any hesitation, and shot directly from outside the three-point line.

When the ball was thrown, the entire Lakers bench stood up.

And the ball lived up to expectations and scored steadily.

This goal was scored and completely killed the game.

The Lakers bench was also celebrating excitedly.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Thunder 109:106.

In the whole game, Chen Tian played in three quarters and scored 39 points.

This is only the result of Chen Tian's three quarters.

Although the Lakers won this game, both the fans who watched this game and the media had doubts about Chen Tian's failure to play in the fourth quarter.

But at the press conference after the game, Monty's words choked all the reporters.

"I am willing, can you control it?"

With just one sentence, the post-match press conference ended immediately.

But no matter what happened after the game, the Lakers won this game.

And after Monty returned to the locker room, the whole locker room seemed very quiet.

"Your performance in the last quarter showed me your determination!"

Monty walked in, looked at everyone except Chen Tian, ​​and said the same sentence.

This made the Lakers team finally feel a lot more at ease.

But soon, Monty continued.

"The dynasty team Lakers, four consecutive championships!"

"What a great move, we became one of the best teams in NBA history last season!"

"For the Lakers, we have only one goal this season. If we fail to achieve this goal, we have failed!"

"On this road, some people are tired, some people are tired, and some people don't care anymore!"

"But there is one person who has been persisting!"

"I even asked him, why do we have to work so hard, we are already the best team in NBA history!"

"Guess what he told me!"

When Monty said these words, everyone remained silent.

Because everyone knew who Monty was talking about.

"He told me he didn't like the feeling of being crushed!"

"As long as he is still on the court, he will definitely go all out!"

"This is the awareness that a superstar should have on the court!"

"But one person's efforts will never get that trophy, he needs all of you to help!"

"I hope you will always remember Chen Tian's attitude of fighting for victory today!"

"As long as you are still with the Lakers for a day, then put in all your efforts. We want to become the best team in the NBA, bar none."

No one knows what the Lakers are talking about in the locker room this time.

But this time Monty's speech made the entire Lakers team change their appearance.

After winning the Thunder, the Lakers also went to Houston.

Here the Lakers will challenge the Rockets.

The Rockets' current situation is not very good.

And the contradictions within the team have also intensified.

Harden is now dissatisfied with Bosh's performance on the court.

And Bosh also put forward a signal to trade him.

But for the Rockets, there is really no suitable trading partner now.

The East and West can now trade with the Rockets, that is, the Grizzlies, Clippers and Magic.

But for these rebuilt teams, it is necessary to add draft picks to trade with them.

This is why the Rockets don't want to trade now.

In this case, the Rockets also signed the former half-orc Faried and point guard McAway from the free market.

It is also an attempt to change the current dilemma of the team.

But these two people are not a good signing for the Rockets.

D'Antoni advocates three-point tactics, so McAway, who doesn't have a three-point shot, didn't get too many opportunities.

And Faried has developed a three-point shot, but the shooting percentage is not very high.

In the end, there was no way, D'Antoni began to change the starting lineup.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the game between the two teams is about to start.

Anthony did not appear on the list for this game because of a sprain in the last game.

So the Lakers also mentioned Rose and Gibson in the starting lineup again.

With Tucker, Chen Tian and Jokic.

As for the Rockets, Beverly, Harden, Clark, House and Capela's starting combination.

Clark is also a legacy that the Rockets found in the free market.

Clark's performance in these two games also conquered D'Antoni.

That's why D'Antoni put Bosh on the bench.

It can be said that the Rockets' bench is really luxurious now.

The combination of Bosh, Gordon, and Lu Wei is really the best bench lineup in the NBA right now.

Soon the game between the two teams also began.

Jokic and Capela's jump ball, there is no doubt that Capela also won the ball.

After the game started, as soon as Harden came up, he cooperated with Capela in the pick-and-roll, scoring an alley-oop dunk with both hands.

This is also the longest double match that the Rockets have seen.

On the other hand, the Lakers attacked, and Chen Tian immediately discovered the benefits of the Rockets starting now.

Both House and Clark are now low-end players in the NBA, so they cherish their playing time very much.

As long as they play, they will do their best to defend.

And neither of them is a tonnage-type player, so the lateral movement speed is also very fast.

This has improved the Rockets' defense a lot invisibly.

But facing Chen Tian's attack, the two were still powerless.

It can only be said that Chen Tian is really too powerful.

Chen Tian's offense was impeccable.

But the same is true for Harden on the opposite side.

Harden is now at his peak, so his abilities are at his strongest.

When Tucker is defending Harden, he must also pay attention to Harden's cheating fouls.

So the defense seems to be somewhat restrained.

Even so, Tucker was tricked into two fouls by Harden in the second half of the first quarter.

There is no way but to rest.

It was also very uncomfortable for Tucker to come down, but there was nothing he could do.

Because this is Harden's signature stunt.

If it was Tucker, he still doesn't have this ability.

Tucker went down, which completely liberated Harden.

Jr can't prevent Harden at all.

Seeing this situation, Chen Tian also looked at Monty.

Monty stood on the sidelines and nodded.

Then in the next round, Chen Tian also switched defenses to defend Harden.

Harden's golf quotient is extremely high. Seeing that Chen Tian was defending him, he immediately changed his style of play.

Started calling screens over and over to give him a pick-and-roll.

This time, even Chen Tian had nothing to do.

Harden's cleverness made the Rockets also cling to the game with the Lakers.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams also replaced substitute players.

The Rockets' luxurious bench lineup finally played a role.

As soon as Gordon came up, he scored a three-pointer.

Then Bosh hit the inside line successfully.

Lu Wei's elegant mid-range shot also scored steadily.

With the final performance of the role players, the Rockets also completed the overtake in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets also temporarily led by 35 points at 30:5.
