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

The Rockets beat the Lakers with difficulty.

But everyone knows that this is the last stubbornness of the Rockets.

If the team still can't make changes, then they will definitely not be able to break through this season.

Harden's ability is very powerful, but if he wants to win the championship alone, it is simply a whimsical thing.

Now that the schedule is up, the Lakers have lost eight games.

From the number of lost games, we can see how strong the teams on both sides of the East and West are now.

Although some of them are lucky to win, but if you lose, you lose.

So this is why, this season, everyone is saying that the Lakers' dominance is declining.

After finishing the Rockets game, the Lakers will have four home games.

These four home games will also be the last sweet period for the Lakers.

Because four home matches are followed by six away matchups.

After these six games are over, it's time for the All-Star Weekend.

It can be said that the schedule is very fucked.

After returning to Los Angeles, the journey of the past few days has had a great impact on the entire Lakers team.

So many people need to digest it.

And Chen Tian hurried back to the manor.

Because the competition schedule is tight now, Chen Tian didn't video chat with Chen Yao and the others.

Back at the manor, Zhang Tianai and Zhou Ling'an were also waiting for Chen Tian to come back.

Seeing Chen Tian coming back, the two also ran over immediately.

Chen Tian hugged the two of them and smiled.

"You're all sleepy."

The two also nodded.

"Go to bed when you're sleepy, there's no need to wait for me to come back every time."

But even if Chen Tian told them so many times, they would still wait for Chen Tian to come back every time.

Unless it was too late, they would definitely wait.

This is not bad, because all the girls were waiting together before.

Now every time there are two people staying here.

I just hope that when Chen Tian comes back, they can cook something delicious when they are hungry.

Chen Tian also did not expect that the twelve beauties were all examples of good wives and mothers.

Maybe this is also a rebirth, the blessing that God gave him.

Zhang Tianai and Zhou Ling'an quickly made a delicious supper together.

Chen Tian sat there eating, while the two women watched quietly from the side.

Such a beauty made the three of them not want to break it.

But Zhou Ling'an on the side also said with a smile.

"Honey, the NBA All-Star voting officially ended yesterday!"

"You and James are still the top voters in the East and West."

Chen Tian was not surprised when he heard this.

"This is normal. James' fan base is still huge. It will take some time for Lin Sen and Antetokounmpo to surpass James."

"Who are the five starters in the Western Conference?"

Chen Tian also asked.

Zhou Lingan on the side said with a smile.

"You may not believe what my husband said. The west side is normal, but the east side is simply a wonderful lineup."

When Zhou Ling'an said this, Chen Tian immediately became interested.

"The starting lineup in the West!"

"Curry, Harden, Leonard, Cousins, and your husband!"

"And the east side!"

"Durant, James, Antetokounmpo, Embiid and Lin Sen!"

"It can be said to be a complete lineup of big men."

Chen Tian was neither surprised nor surprised when he heard this lineup.

To say that it is not surprising, these five players are indeed the best five players in the Eastern Conference this season.

But unexpectedly, a big lineup really appeared.

Fortunately, there is a selection process now, otherwise the Jue team would not be able to have such a lineup.

"Oh, let me go, this lineup is really amazing!"

"In this way, Harden and Curry will definitely become the focus!"

"Who made it so that there are only two players who are point guards on both sides."

Chen Tian thought for a while, and then asked.

"By the way, what about the substitute lineup?"

"The substitute lineup is much more normal!"

"Bill of the Wizards in the East, Griffin of the Celtics, Lowry of the Raptors, Middleton of the Bucks, Oladipo of the Pacers, Irving of the Nets and Wiggin of the 76ers S."

Chen Tian also nodded when he heard the lineup on the eastern side.

"It's okay, basically they are the core or second-in-command of each team."

"Finally, it's much more normal!"

"What about the west side?"

"On the west side, Jokic, Davis of the Pelicans, Westbrook and Paul George of the Thunder, Green of the Suns, Lillard of the Trail Blazers and Butler of the Warriors."

Such a lineup can be said to be very good.

"There are too many players to choose from in the West!"

"It's better than Clay, Booker and others who didn't make it to the All-Star."

Zhang Tianai on the side also nodded.

"Yeah, there are many good players in the West, but none of them are All-Stars."

"This is also normal. After all, the All-Star Game has never been a place to measure a player!"

"There are also many superstar players who have rarely entered the All-Star Game in history, but you cannot deny their legends."

"Who are the husbands?"

"Like Joe Dumars from the first Bad Boys Legion!"

"He only entered the All-Star Game six times in his entire career, but who can say that Joe Dumars is not a superstar!"

"Including Pau Gasol, who is still in the Spurs, he has only entered six times, but who can deny his strength."

As soon as Chen Tian said this, both Zhou Ling'an and Zhang Tianai nodded.

"But having said that, being able to make the All-Star also proves the performance of this player this season."

Both women agreed with this statement.

"By the way, hubby, the NBA headquarters sent you an invitation to the dunk contest."

"Reject, I don't want to participate anymore, there is really no opponent to speak of."

Chen Tian's words are too much to beat, but there is no one who can refute him yet.

"By the way, who are the draft picks for the All-Star three events?"

"The lineup of the skill contest includes Vucevic of the Magic, Conley of the Grizzlies, Tatum of the Suns, Fox of the Kings, Tre Young of the Eagles, Doncic of the Mavericks, Kuzma of the Hornets and Jokic of the Lakers!"

"Today's lineup in the three-point contest is very luxurious!"

"Curry of the Warriors, Booker of the Suns, Lillard of the Blazers, Green of the Spurs, Middleton of the Bucks, Curry of the Mavericks, Walker of the Hornets, Hield of the Kings, Joe of the Nets Ha, and Nowitzki of the Lone Ranger!"

"For the slam dunk contest, Dennis Smith from Newx, Collins from Hawks, Bridges from Hornets!"

"If you don't participate, my husband, it will be the Thunder's young player Hamidou Diallo."

"It has to be a three-point contest. The popularity of the three-point contest has been really high in recent years."

"Yes, although the NBA now encourages physical confrontation, outside shooting has already become a winning weapon for a team."

"Very good, this time all four of you will go to the All-Star Weekend with me."

Chen Tian also said to the two women.

Both of them nodded.

After a day off, the Lakers also faced the invading Warriors at home.

The Warriors this season have surprised everyone.

The desire to win shown by Curry and Butler can be seen with the naked eye.

Every game, both of them are trying to win.

As long as there is a slight chance, neither of them will let it go.

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

For the Warriors, Curry and Butler's back line combination, plus rookie Chen Song.

During this time, the Warriors discovered another talent, that is, rookie Robert Williams.

The hard work of this newcomer was appreciated by Tyronn Lue.

Now Robert and Looney have also become the team's new inside combination.

Both belong to the kind of people who can do dirty work.

And any head coach likes such players very much.

Chandler's age is not young, he can't play the starting position throughout the regular season.

So Robert's growth is indeed a very good surprise.

On the Lakers side, Anthony's injury is no longer a major problem.

So he also returned to the starting position.

And Matthew also returned to his starting position.

As for Rose, he is taking a break for this game.

Rose's ability is beyond doubt, but his body must take a certain amount of rest.

So Brunson's growth this season is also a surprise for the Lakers.

When the two teams had shooting training before the game, Chen Tian, ​​Curry, Butler, and Anthony also got together.

Because San Francisco and Los Angeles are very close, a few people will get together if they have nothing to do.

"Hey, when Chen Tian selects players for the All-Star Game, he must choose me."

Butler on the side also said.

"Take me one."

Curry also said anxiously on the side.

And Anthony spread his hands and said.

"Oh, this time, it's nothing to do with me."

As soon as Anthony said this, Chen Tian and the others all gave him blank looks.

In fact, for the All-Star Game, after playing twice, they don't like playing very much.

If you don't get rest, you may even be more tired.

But this thing is not something they can stop.

They are all voted by the fans. If you don't play, you will be sorry for the fans.

So if you choose, you must fight hard.

"It's not sure who to choose, don't forget there is James."

When Butler heard Chen Tian's words, his face immediately turned a little ugly.

Curry naturally knows what his brother thinks.

"Brother, when the time comes, the candidates will choose Butler no matter what. I beg you."

As soon as Curry said this, both Chen Tian and Anthony looked at Butler.

Butler glanced at Curry gratefully.

There is actually not that much animosity between Butler and James.

Compared with the enmity between Chen Tian and James, it is simply nothing.

The enmity between these two people was still in the east, and the two people who were unwilling to apologize naturally became more and more enmity.

Chen Tian couldn't help laughing when he thought of this matter.

"Okay, no problem, I will definitely choose Butler."

As soon as these words came out, Butler was also relieved a lot.

Looking at Butler's back, Chen Tian also shook his head and smiled.

The grievances between men are so simple.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

Jokic and Looney stood in the middle circle and followed the referee to throw the ball high.

Jokic and Looney also struggled to jump.

In the end, the Warriors won the first wave of offensive possessions, and the battle between the two teams also began.
