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

On the second day, the Lakers also conducted the team's shooting training in the morning.

Try to find your own state, so that you can deal with the game to be played in the evening.

Although the Thunder lost the first game.

But the team that has reached the playoffs must also want to go further.

What's more, the Thunder still has the combination of Westbrook and Paul George.

So they have to break their wrists with the Lakers no matter what.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the second matchup between the Lakers and the Thunder in the playoffs was about to start.

Li Xirui and the others on the domestic side were also watching the game with their children.

Because they couldn't go back for the time being, they could only watch Chen Tian's wonderful performance in front of the big screen.

On the side of the Sky Arena, Jokic and Adams also stood in the middle circle.

As the referee threw the ball high, Jokic and Adams also jumped up hard.

But this time Adams jumped the ball and the game officially started.

As the commentator of this game, Van Gundy Jr. also came to the commentary booth.

"The Lakers won the first game very easily!"

"And the Thunder did not make any adjustments in the starting lineup in the second game, so it depends on what strategy the Thunder will have."

It was Adams who broke out first when the game started.

Adams received the ball inside, bumped Jokic, then turned around and scored the ball.

After that, Adams also blocked Anthony's layup on the defensive end.

The Thunder counterattacked, and Westbrook rushed directly to the basket with the ball, and when he flew up, he made a layup and scored the ball.

At the beginning, the Thunder showed a strong desire to attack.

But Chen Tian also took advantage of the cover, received a pass from Jokic, slid from the bottom line and made a layup to score the ball.

After that, Chen Tian and Jokic cooperated to play Grant, and Jokic dunked with both hands and scored.

But at this time, the Thunder's outside touch opened up.

Paul George did not fight Chen Tian recklessly, but frequently used cover to take outside shots.

This made Chen Tian very uncomfortable. Paul George's ability is very powerful.

Especially good at hitting some fairy three-pointers.

So if Chen Tian didn't defend him, the rest of the team's defensive effect must not be so good.

But to cover this thing is to get rid of the opposing defender.

Therefore, the difficulty for Chen Tian to defend Paul George also increased.

But the pick-and-roll tactic cannot be used much, because it consumes too much energy.

But the Thunder's outside touch in the first quarter was really good.

Driven by Paul George, the team also frequently scored three-pointers.

So at the end of the first quarter, the Thunder temporarily led by five points at 29:24.

"In the first quarter, the Thunder implemented the pick-and-roll tactics to the end!"

"So the team can find good shooting opportunities from the outside!"

"But this is not a chance for them to win. You must know that for a team like the Lakers, the last thing they are afraid of is pick-and-roll tactics."

There is nothing wrong with Van Gundy Jr.'s words.

Because everyone who knows the Lakers game knows that the Lakers like the opponent to carry out such pick-and-roll tactics the most.

No matter how much Chen Tian's physical strength runs, he can still play the whole court.

But your pick and roll can't be used until the end of the game.

When the opponent's physical strength was almost exhausted in the fourth quarter, that was when the Lakers began to reap the game.

Soon the second quarter began.

The Lakers' winger formation is also brought up.

With the lineup of Tucker, Chen Tian and Caruso, this lineup is also the best defensive pick-and-roll.

Sure enough, as soon as the second quarter came back, Paul George's pick-and-roll tactics failed.

After passing Chen Tian, ​​Tucker immediately came over to make up for him.

Facing Tucker's defense, Paul George still needs some trouble to score.

In the end, Paul George threw the ball with difficulty under Tucker's defense.

The ball was not scored, and Yi Jianlian received the rebound inside.

The Lakers' counterattack has also begun.

After Chen Tian received the pass and flew up, he also relied on Paul George's defense to score the ball with difficulty in the air.

Chen Tian scored this goal, indicating that the Lakers' counterattack had officially begun.

In the following time, the Lakers perfectly defended the Thunder's offense by relying on the lineup of three forwards.

Thunder coach Donovan also quickly replaced Westbrook.

Directly let Westbrook and Schroeder combine to play a double point guard lineup.

Not to mention that after this lineup was replaced, it really had a miraculous effect.

Schroeder's ability is also good.

Although it is a bit difficult to become an All-Star, it is still enough to be the starter of a team.

At this time, the lineup of Westbrook, Schroeder and Paul George on the outside of the Thunder has strengthened the team's offense a lot.

"The Thunder replaced the team's best scoring players. It seems that they are going to give up the defense."

In fact, Monty also saw it.

But Monty showed no sign of getting up from his chair.

Facing the Thunder team, it is far from the time when Monty needs to make special arrangements.

As long as the league doesn't make trouble, it's only a matter of time before the Lakers win the Thunder.

The Thunder have beefed up their offensive options here.

But the defense can only rely on Grant and Adams inside.

So after the two teams, the game gradually turned into a tug of war.

Here Westbrook withdrew and scored with a mid-range shot.

In turn, Caruso's three-pointer also hit the basket.

Paul George assisted Schroeder and also scored a three-pointer.

Chen Tian rushed to the basket and dunked with one hand, detonating the enthusiasm of all the fans.

At the end of the half, the Lakers led the Thunder by five points 55:50.

"In the halftime game, the Lakers still played with ease!"

"Although the gap between the Thunder and the Lakers in the first half is not that big, but in the second half, the Lakers will definitely exert their strength!"

"There are too few players on the Thunder's side who can do it!"

"So the Thunder's Westbrook and Paul George, these two must stand up, and it can even be said that they need to play the whole game!"

"Only in this way will Thunder have a slight chance of winning."

Van Gundy Jr. was also summing up at halftime.

In fact, for the players of the two teams, they all know the final result.

But this is the playoffs, and one season's desperate efforts have reached this point, so naturally no one wants to give up.

Knowing the gap with the Lakers, the Thunder still have to fight.

No one knows if there will be unexpected situations.

Soon the second half of the game between the two teams also began.

Sure enough, Schroeder was promoted to the starting lineup in the second half.

His scoring ability is something the Thunder desperately need right now.

In the second half, Westbrook and Paul George really planned to play the full two quarters.

Neither of them had any intention of taking a rest.

On the other hand, the Lakers, under the organization of Chen Tian and Jokic, the team is still playing in an orderly manner.

Adams once again became the team's interior defender after his explosion in the opening game.

And the ball is in the hands of the three of Westbrook, and Grant doesn't have many chances to make shots.

But in the second half of the third quarter, Westbrook suddenly began to explode.

Westbrook's explosion is very magical. When he explodes, no one can stop him at all.

Westbrook directly scored three unreasonable three-pointers from the outside.

This scene shocked Tucker who was defending Westbrook.

"What kind of monster is this?"

But soon Chen Tian also shot from inside and outside, stabilizing the morale of the Lakers.

After that, Chen Tian and Westbrook also fell into a confrontation.

Chen Tian's breakthrough and mid-range shot, Westbrook's three-pointer and hitting the basket.

The two refused to give in to each other, and Donovan was speechless standing on the sidelines watching the situation.

"You exploded earlier."

Said it was all over.

Because it's already the fourth quarter.

Although Westbrook is still scoring again and again.

But Chen Tian was also continuing to attack and score points.

So Westbrook didn't recover the score much at all.

In fact, Chen Tian didn't expect that Westbrook's match would explode.

But under Chen Tian's attack, the Lakers still won the victory.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Thunder 119:107.

The big score was also rewritten as 2:0.
