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

The game between the Lakers and the 76ers is over.

Wiggins and Embiid were particularly silent after returning to the locker room.

The silence of the two cores of the team made the atmosphere in the locker room a bit depressing.

The reason why Embiid and Wiggins did this was exactly what Chen Tian said to them after the game.

When the two heard that sentence, they understood why Chen Tian had such a match.

They also finally understood how proud they were during this period of time.

Just like what Chen Tian said before, let alone the Lakers.

Even the Celtics and Nets in the East may not be able to beat them.

What qualifications do you have to utter such big words?

The two looked at each other and both laughed.

Only this time it was a wry smile.

Only then did Wiggins notice the locker room.

"We lost this game, which is a good thing!"

"Let us see the gap with a dynastic team like the Lakers!"

"We still have a lot of time, and now we are not thinking about a team like the Lakers!"

"We have to beat the Celtics and the Nets first, and then we have a chance to stand on the stage of the finals!"

"We were too proud before, and we have forgotten that there are still powerful opponents waiting for us!"

"Next, let us calm down and use all our strength to win more victories."

After Wiggins shouted, everyone stood up.

Immediately, everyone gathered together, and then shouted the slogan of victory together.

Chen Tian didn't know these things, if he knew, Chen Tian would be very happy.

After all, in this life, Chen Tian started to make friends with the outside world, namely Wiggins, Embiid and the bearded three.

To say that the first person I met was the bearded man.

But because of his stature, this guy didn't set foot on the basketball court either.

Wiggins and Embiid were Chen Tian's first friends on the court.

So for these two friends, Chen Tian also hoped that they could perform better.

After all, there are still many problems in the nba between the two of them in the previous life.

Goji brother, soft egg, these are the titles of the two of them.

In his previous life, Wiggins averaged 18 points per game, not much more, and was even called the health-preserving wolfberry brother by the fans.

After that, Embiid became more and more fond of outside shooting, and the inside offense was gone.

So he was also called a softie by the fans.

But in this life, under Chen Tian's guidance, the two of them are obviously different from the previous life.

Embiid's offense in the interior is becoming more and more like Olajuwon.

And Wiggins is not so silent anymore, and his playing skills are getting better and better.

For such a change, Chen Tian is very willing to see it.

After the Lakers ended the 76ers game, a big wave of away games will begin.

Before the All-Star Game, the Lakers' schedule was all away games.

On the morning of the second day, the selection process for the All-Star Game was about to begin.

At [-] o'clock the next morning, Chen Tian and James also appeared in the live broadcast.

The two of them are the top voters in the East and West respectively, so they will be selected for the All-Star Game.

The two must first select the substitute lineup.

The first choice is James.

Here James also said directly.

"Anthony Davis."

No one thought that James' first pick would be a player from the East.

And Chen Tian quickly made a decision.

"Nikola Jokic."

There was nothing unexpected about Chen Tian's choice.

"Kyrie Irving!"

James' second choice is his teammates.

"Jimmy Butler!"

Chen Tian did not forget the agreement with Curry.

"Blake Griffin!"

"Andrew Wiggins!"

"Damian Lillard!"

"Victor Oladipo!"

"Bradley Beal!"

"Draymond Green!"

"Paul George!"

"Russell Westbrook!"

"Khris Middleton!"

"Kyle Lowry!"

With Chen Tian selecting Lowry, the two teams' substitute lineups were also determined.

On the east side, Davis, Irving, Griffin, Lillard, Bill, Paul George, Middleton.

It can be said to be very balanced, which is what James wants.

On the west side, Jokic, Butler, Wiggins, Oladipo, Green, Westbrook, Lowry.

Most of them were Chen Tian's friends.

If Chen Tian didn't feel that it was too much to choose Paul George, he might choose Paul George too.

Next is the choice of the starting lineup.

Because James made the first choice just now, so this time it was Chen Tian who made the choice first.

"My choice, Lin Sen."

There are no surprises.

Everyone knew what Chen Tian would choose.

"My choice, Kevin Durant."

There is no surprise in James' choice.

Both of them chose friends and teammates first.

"Steph Curry!"

Chen Tian selected Curry, which made James' expression a little ugly.

Because James also wants to choose Curry.

"James Harden!"

James can only settle for the next best thing.

"DeMarcus Cousins!"

"Joel Embiid!"

"Giannis Antetokounmpo."

This is the player Chen Tian is looking forward to working with, because the Lakers haven't played against the Bucks yet.

So Chen Tian is also looking forward to how far Brother Antetokounmpo will grow.

"Kawhi Leonard."

In the end, Leonard also returned to the East.

Since then, the selection process for the All-Star Game has come to an end.

The starters in the Eastern Conference are Embiid, Durant, James, Leonard and Harden.

As for the starting lineup in the west, Lin Sen, Cousins, Antetokounmpo, Chen Tian and Curry are five.

After the selection of the All-Star Game ended, the fans began to look forward to the coming of this battle.

And the Lakers are also preparing for consecutive road trips.

Their first opponent is the Clippers in the same city.

The reason why the game against the Clippers is also an away game is because the Staples Arena is already the arena of a Clippers team.

So here, the Clippers fans have also increased a lot.

Unlike when the Lakers and Clippers shared the same arena before, Lakers fans accounted for the vast majority.

But it's useless to give the Clippers a chance.

This season, the Clippers have started the rebuilding phase, and the core players of the entire team have been traded out.

According to recent news, Jordan's deal is basically about to be completed.

As for the trading team, it has not been announced yet.

But in this game, Jordan is not on the team's starting list.

Not even on the roster.

It can be said that the transaction is already a certainty.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

Now the Clippers can take the shot is Gallinari.

The Italian pitcher has gained a foothold in the NBA with one-handed shots.

After the game started, he scored two consecutive three-pointers, which also gave the Clippers a temporary lead.

However, Chen Tian took a close-up defense against him afterwards, leaving Gallinari at a loss for what to do.

There is even a non-stick situation in outside shots.

Fortunately, the veteran insider Gortat is not bad, and the continuous scoring inside allowed the Clippers to retain a bit of face.

But in the second half, the Lakers launched a wave of fierce offense.

The score was opened in one click.

After that, the Clippers never recovered the score.

At the end of the game, the Lakers beat the Clippers 120:104.

The so-called city derby has gradually lost its meaning.

The gap between the Lakers and the Clippers is already widening.

The Clippers team can be regarded as a sad reminder.

Originally in the big city of Los Angeles, it should be a good signing team.

But because of the presence of the Lakers in Los Angeles, they have become a transparent team.

When it comes to Los Angeles, the first reaction of all fans is the Lakers.

Who made the Lakers the richest team in the NBA.

After that, the Clippers managed to form the city of lobs, and it got better after gaining some fame.

But neither Paul nor Griffin is destined for the championship.

After many years, the group finally disbanded.

The Clippers were back where they started overnight.

The Lakers in the same city played better and better under Chen Tian's leadership.

This makes the Clippers want to surpass the Lakers, or even beat the Lakers' idea is getting further and further away.

It can be said that the most uncomfortable person now is the Clippers owner Powell.

As one of the richest owners in the nba, but the team is like this, Powell is quite a headache.

And back to the Lakers, they easily won the Clippers, and there is nothing to be happy about.

After all, what kind of team is the Clippers, and there is no sense of accomplishment in beating them.

But the Lakers' next opponent is a problem.

Because the Lakers will play away against the Warriors next.

Although they just played against the Warriors before, everyone knows that the Warriors have changed in just a short period of time.

The Warriors hired defensive coach Thibodeau.

The meaning is also very simple, that is to strengthen the team's defense.

The direct combination of Tyronn Lue and Thibodeau also made Warriors fans look forward to it.

After a day of rest, the entire Lakers team also came to the home court of the Warriors.

Both the Lakers and the Warriors paid great attention to this game.

The Lakers want to see what changes their defense has made since the Warriors joined Thibodeau.

The Warriors also need to defeat the Lakers to build a firm confidence for them.

During the shooting training between the two teams before the game, Chen Tian, ​​Curry, and Butler got together again.

"I didn't expect that you guys actually chose both of us."

Curry also said with a smile.

"Who told me to choose first, then of course I won't let it go."

Butler on the side also smiled.

"It's great, I'm really looking forward to becoming teammates with you, Chen Tian."

Chen Tian also nodded at Butler's words.

"Okay, let's have a good time at the All-Star Game."

As soon as the words came out, both Curry and Butler laughed.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

In this game, Barkley, O'Neal, and Kenny finally commented together again.

"After the Warriors introduced Thibodeau, I don't know what changes will be made in this game!"

"I'm really looking forward to their performance."

Barkley also said at this time.

And O'Neal on the other side also said.

"Tyronn Lue has done a good job in terms of tactics and on-the-spot changes, and Thibodeau's defense can also make up for Tyronn Lue's shortcomings!"

"So for the Warriors, they've been really strong this season."

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

"Sure enough, the Warriors have made adjustments to the starting lineup!"

"Let's talk about the Lakers first. The starting lineup of Matthew, Tucker, Chen Tian, ​​Anthony and Jokic has not changed!"

"In contrast to the Warriors, the combination of Curry, Butler, and Chen Song has not changed, but the inside Warriors have combined Looney and Jerebko together!"

"I don't know what kind of role this lineup will play. I'm already looking forward to it."

O'Neill and Barkley both nodded when they heard Kenny's words.

"Jerebko's defense is still good, the most important thing is that he still has the ability to shoot outside!"

"It's also a good thing for the Warriors' offense."

And the game between the two teams on the field is about to begin.

Jokic and Rooney also stood in the middle circle.

With the referee throwing the ball high, Looney jumped the ball to Curry, and the game between the two teams officially began.
