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

This time, only Chen Tian returned to Los Angeles alone.

The others were all planning to wait for Chen Yao to recover before returning to Los Angeles together.

So after Chen Tian returned to the manor, he was a little lonely.

"Hey, it's deserted. Two days ago, there was still laughter and laughter, but now I'm lonely."

Chen Tian also shook his head.

After resting at home for a day, Chen Tian also rushed to Milwaukee.

Because this will be the last away game of the Lakers' five-game streak.

The opponent is the Bucks, which is not a team that the Lakers without Chen Tian can beat.

And if nothing else, the Bucks will also make adjustments.

After all, in the last game between the two teams, the Bucks did not pose any threat to the Lakers.

So change is inevitable.

In addition, Bucks coach Holzer is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

As a student of Popovich, he has already shown his ability as a famous coach.

And after Chen Tian returned to the team, the pressure on Monty's side was also reduced a lot.

And for this game, Monty didn't mean to take turns.

After all, after this game is over, the team still has two days of rest to deal with the challenge of the Nets.

So in this game, Monty is also preparing to play with all the main players.

What's more, the Bucks team is no less a threat to Monty than the Celtics.

Because the lineups of the Celtics and Bucks are completely sustainable for a long time.

So as long as you give them time, they will definitely rise.

In fact, it's not just Monty, Chen Tian also wants to see what changes the Bucks will make in this game.

And at night, the game between the Lakers and the Bucks is about to start.

After seeing the starting lineup on the opposite side, he really made a change.

They put Adelaide on the bench and mentioned Snell in the starting lineup.

Then let Antetokounmpo go to the power forward position.

In fact, this arrangement is the best one.

The rise of Antetokounmpo in his previous life was also in the power forward position.

Antetokounmpo's outside shooting ability is not very good now.

In fact, in the previous life, the later seasons were not very good.

Even for free throws, Antetokounmpo is getting less confident as he makes free throws.

But Antetokounmpo before playing big is indeed a big killer.

Especially when he rushes up with the ball, it really means that no one can stop him.

Before the game, Chen Tian chatted with Antetokounmpo and Li Yu for a while.

Then the match between the two teams will begin.

"In this game, the Bucks made changes to the starting lineup!"

"I don't know if such a change can play a different role."

After Barkley finished speaking, the game officially started.

The Bucks got the first wave of offensive ball here.

As soon as Antetokounmpo came up, he hit Anthony with his back, turned around and hit the dunk with both hands under the basket.

The goal was scored, and the home fans also cheered.

For Bucks fans, they have been quiet for too long.

It takes Antetokounmpo to break through the cage and lead Milwaukee to the coveted championship trophy.

On the other hand, Jokic asked for the ball in the low post, and Chen Tian passed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic directly hit Daluo with his back. Daluo's height and wingspan are longer than Jokic's.

So when Jokic played Daluo, he also used his footsteps to shake. After finding his own rhythm, he turned around and threw the ball independently.

The ball was scored steadily, and Monty nodded.

Jokic's current style of play is becoming more and more mature, which is also good news for the Lakers.

After all, the team is really old and small now.

So Jokic must grow up.

After that, Antetokounmpo did explode from the beginning.

Rose's shot made up, Daluo grabbed the rebound and passed it to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo held the ball by himself and rushed straight up.

Tucker came to help defend, Antetokounmpo also passed him with a European step, and then flew up with a one-handed split button.

"Oh my god, Giannis' impact is really explosive!"

"This Greek monster finally showed his fangs."

Antetokounmpo scored this goal, which also greatly improved the morale of the team.

When returning to defense, Antetokounmpo even smiled at Chen Tian.

Chen Tian knew that this was a provocation from this guy.

Since this is the case, then he is not welcome.

Conversely, Rose was going to pass the ball to Jokic, but Chen Tian reached out for the ball.

Seeing that Chen Tian wanted the ball, the others immediately opened up space.

"This is the tacit understanding, this is the tacit understanding cultivated by the Lakers teammates for many years!"

"As soon as Chen Tian takes the ball, they will know what it means."

Chen Tian took the ball and glanced at Anthony.

Anthony immediately understood and came over to pick and roll Chen Tian.

Then form a defense switch and let Brother Antetokounmpo defend Chen Tian.

Immediately, Brother Antetokounmpo smiled wryly.

"I owe it too. Why are you laughing at you?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth when he heard this.

But Chen Tian's pace was not slow. After punching Brother Antetokounmpo on his back, he turned around and passed Brother Antetokounmpo.

Then rushing to the basket is a powerful folding dunk.

The goal was dunked, and the Lakers' bench cheered excitedly.

Chen Tian's goal made the atmosphere of the stadium tense.

Then Li Yu made a three-pointer.

Rose's pull-up layup.

Daluo's post-up singles.

Anthony's three-threat layup.

The status of several people is also up.

Tucker's defense against Middleton is really appropriate.

Middleton's impact with the ball is to rely on his own physical fitness.

But Tucker's strength is that he can defend Jokic well.

Not to mention you Middleton.

So Middleton's offense with the ball is abolished, and he can only be used as a fixed-point pitcher.

This made Holzer on the sidelines a little dissatisfied.

But he has nothing to do. No matter what Middleton is on the court, it is still a threat.

So hastily replacing him is not a good decision.

Fortunately, Li Yu's organization is very clear.

When Antetokounmpo and Daluo were heavily defended, Li Yu began to use the cover to create opportunities for outside players.

Middleton finally found a chance to open.

But he didn't score a three-pointer, which made Middleton very annoyed.

Finally got a chance to make a shot, but the ball hasn't been scored yet.

Fortunately, Da Luo, who was under the basket, grabbed the offensive rebound and made up the ball.

After that, Chen Tian made a reverse run from the bottom corner, received a pass from Jokic, and also made a reverse layup and scored the ball.

The two teams then began to change players. Aldridge and George Hill also led the bench to play.

This decision, in the next 4 minutes, made Holzer feel extremely correct.

Because after Adelaide led the bench to play, the main offensive point was on him.

So Adelaide's offense has also increased.

So Adelaide's offensive is sharp, allowing the Bucks to overtake the Lakers in terms of score.

Monty also laughed when he saw this scene on the sidelines.

It seems that the Bucks really found a way to deal with them.

Regardless of the fact that the role players don't have much playing time, if they can overtake the score, it will also greatly improve the morale of the team.

So at the end of the first quarter, the Bucks also led the Lakers by five points 30:25.

"The change of the Bucks really has an effect!"

"Adelaide's ability is needless to say. Although his time has been reduced after coming to the bench, his time holding the ball has increased!"

"This actually increases his efficiency."

In the second quarter, Holzer didn't dare to make a big deal, and also replaced Middleton to cooperate with Alder to attack.

And the Lakers did not replace Tucker, which gave Middleton a chance to play.

Continuously hitting the basket with the ball, he staggered and scored the ball, gradually opening the score.

Just when Monty was about to call a timeout, someone from the Lakers stepped forward.

That's the Bald Mamba Caruso.

Caruso first received the ball from outside the three-point line and scored it.

After that, another person hit the basket with the ball and made a difficult layup.

As for Matthew's steal, he also passed the ball to Caruso immediately.

Caruso's wonderful dunk was once again shown.

When Monty saw this scene, he was not in a hurry.

In fact, Caruso's talent is not that outstanding.

And Caruso is a 3D player.

Individual scoring ability is not so outstanding.

But who wants to say that Caruso is not a good player, then this person must have a hole in his head.

Caruso's desperate spirit as long as he is on the court has already proved his strength.

It can be said that a player like Caruso is indispensable for a championship team.

For Monty, the playoffs are getting closer and closer.

Starting players have to reduce their playing time, and role players also have to increase their playing time.

Let the starting players take a break, and let the role players adjust to their best condition.

So Monty didn't rush to make substitutions. It wasn't until the second half of the second quarter that Monty replaced the starters.

But at this time the score has been stretched to 12 points.

However, after Chen Tian made a layup, he scored several consecutive shots and brought the score back to single digits.

At the end of the halftime game, the Bucks also led by 7 points and entered the halftime break.

"Obviously, it's time for the Lakers to prepare for the playoffs!"

"In this game, the playing time of role players has increased a lot."

By the third quarter, the Bucks were obviously the more nervous side.

After all, the advantage of 7 points is not very big.

Chen Tian could easily catch up.

So Antetokounmpo and the others are also ready.

After the start of the third quarter, Chen Tian was double-teamed.

I have to say that the double-teaming between Antetokounmpo and Snell limited Chen Tian's performance to a certain extent.

But Chen Tian's ability is not enough for double teams.

Although it was much more difficult to score, it still did not stop Chen Tian from scoring.

Antetokounmpo and Li Yu also broke out in an all-round way in the third quarter.

For Chen Tian's two points, Brother Antetokounmpo immediately returned two points.

Chen Tian hit the basket again and scored a layup.

Li Yu also used the cover, and the CIC scored steadily.

Chen Tian assisted Jokic and hit a three-pointer.

Daluo, a big fortress, also steadily scored three-pointers from the outside.

Immediately, the match between the two teams directly became a tug of war.

"This time the Bucks really withstood the Lakers' offensive in the third quarter."

Antetokounmpo hit the basket again and made a layup against the defense and scored the ball.

But in turn, Chen Tian's impact directly dunked the ball through Da Luo.

The goal was dunked, and the Lakers' bench went crazy.

"Oh, you must know that Da Luo started out with a height of 2 meters, yet Chen Tian actually directly dunked Da Luo!"

"It was a fantastic goal."

But at the end of the third quarter, the Bucks still took the lead.

"The performance of the Bucks in this game is really eye-catching. Their offense has become more mature!"

"Although Chen Tian didn't have such a strong desire to attack in the third quarter!"

"But to be able to withstand the Lakers' offense, the change of the Bucks is already a success."

When it came to the fourth quarter, Chen Tian was not in a hurry to return to the field.

Instead, let the team's role players play a dozen more.

Originally, Chen Tian was going to play again, but was stopped by Monty.

There is no need to fight so hard for such a game.

So in the fourth quarter, Chen Tian did not return to the field.

At the end of the game, the Bucks defeated the Lakers 115:101.

Although Chen Tian didn't have much playing time in this game.

But to win the Lakers is to win.

So Antetokounmpo and Li Yu were still very happy after the game.

At least after this game, they have more experience.

Chen Tian also hugged Antetokounmpo and Li Yu after the game.

And after this game is over, the Lakers team will also return to Los Angeles.

Because next they will face the strong enemy Nets.
