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

After watching the Warriors game, Chen Tian also had a clear positioning for the [-] teams in the playoffs.

Teams like the Cavaliers and Nuggets basically run with them.

As for the remaining teams, their strengths and weaknesses are very obvious.

But the Lakers, Celtics, Spurs and Nets can all make up for all their shortcomings with their advantages.

The Lakers have Chen Tian and Jokic, the Celtics have Lin Sen and Griffin, the Spurs have team basketball, and the Nets have the nuclear bomb combination.

This is the key to their victory.

But other teams obviously have bigger shortcomings.

The Rockets lack players who can stand up at critical moments.

When the Warriors meet the Spurs and Pelicans inside, they can only be blown up.

There is no suspense at all.

Both the Raptors and the 76ers have the same shortcoming, that is, the core players are prone to weakness.

The Bucks have too little experience, Middleton is useless, and Antetokounmpo and Li Yu's lack of experience is fatal to them.

So although the playoffs are exciting, basically the pattern has already emerged.

On the second day, Chen Tian also came to the arena for training.

Because we will go to the away game for two consecutive games.

For the current Lakers, it is best to win all of them, so that the team can have a good rest time.

But two wins and one win is acceptable.

The Thunder's threat depends on when Westbrook explodes.

Paul George is a player who can always maintain his state.

He performed very well from the first minute to the last minute of the game.

But it is indeed very difficult for him to explode that scoring ability.

So on the Thunder's side, Westbrook can only explode, with Paul George assisting.

This is still possible to beat the Lakers.

In fact, in the playoffs, the performance of role players is basically defensive.

There are very few role players who can save a team.

During the regular season, role players can have a good playing time and then display good abilities.

But in the playoffs, a lot of time will be given to core players, so there is very little room for role players to play.

But if a small space exerts great energy, then this player's big contract will not be far away.

So the playoffs will always be a place to test a player's true strength.

A player like Randall is as fierce as a tiger in the regular season and like a mouse in the playoffs.

After a day of training, the atmosphere and state of the team are very good.

On the second day, the entire Lakers team also came to Oklahoma City.

For this city, although it is a small ball market, the history of the Thunder team is really full of big-name players.

When the Supersonics were still in the past, this team had players such as Rainman Kemp, Glove Payton, and Ray Allen.

Later, it became the Thunder, and there were also superstar players like Durant, Westbrook and Harden.

Although at this time Westbrook and Harden's mvp was won by Chen Tian.

But the Thunder Thunder's three young masters in the previous life actually won the mvp of the regular season.

You must know that this is unique in the NBA.

But they in the small ball market are destined to fail to retain these people.

Otherwise, they will definitely add another championship.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the game between the Lakers and the Thunder, and the game between the Bucks and the Heat started at the same time.

For the Thunder, this game is a last-ditch game.

Only by winning this game can they still have a chance.

Otherwise, with a score of 3:0, there is really no suspense.

So in this game, the Thunder took Schroeder up in the starting lineup.

And Westbrook also mentioned the scoring position.

Obviously, the Thunder is going to increase their offense to the strongest.

After the game between the two teams started, the Thunder intentionally played for Westbrook.

It is also to let Westbrook find his state as soon as possible.

This method is still very effective.

Because Westbrook failed to score in the previous three offenses.

But on the fourth time, Westbrook directly stepped back and scored a three-pointer.

This goal scored made the home fans very excited.

Because everyone knows that when Westbrook explodes, no one can stop him.

Chen Tian didn't expect Westbrook's state to improve so quickly.

Sure enough, Westbrook hit the basket twice in a row, and neither Tucker nor Jokic could defend it.

Chen Tian knew that the difficulty of this competition was also going up.

When defending afterwards, Chen Tian also directly switched defenses with Tucker.

This kind of Westbrook can only be defended by Chen Tianlai.

Here, Chen Tian's defense against Westbrook was also fully focused.

Facing Chen Tian's defense, Westbrook's offensive pressure suddenly came up.

With continuous changes of direction, Westbrook directly hit the basket.

On the other hand, Chen Tian also defended closely.

Just after Westbrook took off, Chen Tian also jumped up.

But Westbrook did not choose to attack, but passed the ball in the air.

Adams received the pass and dunked the ball in with both hands.

This scene made the entire home fans excited.

Chen Tian also miscalculated. He didn't expect Westbrook to remain calm while he was in a fiery state.

Afterwards, neither team could defend the other in the offense of the two teams.

Chen Tian and Westbrook faced each other directly, and Paul George's outside shooting and Jokic's inside offense were also comparable.

The rest of the two teams are also defending with all their strength.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was also tied at 25:25.

Although Westbrook broke out, under Chen Tian's defense, the efficiency was not that high.

In the second quarter, Thunderclap's surprise soldiers finally appeared.

That's Schroeder.

This guy scored three three-pointers as soon as he came up in the second quarter.

This time the score was opened.

As soon as the score opened, Donovan also asked the team to strengthen their defense.

Be sure to keep your lead.

So after that, the Thunder's defensive strength also increased.

And Westbrook and Paul George also returned to the court.

For the Lakers, Monty didn't want to lose any games, so he naturally brought Chen Tian back.

After Chen Tian came back, he first blocked Westbrook's shot on the defensive end.

Then the counterattack is also a one-handed split button.

Chen Tian leading the Lakers is also working hard to chase points.

And Westbrook, along with Paul George and others, defended the Lakers' offensive wave after wave.

At the end of the half, the Thunder still led by one point 52:51.

In this game, the Thunder took out all their things.

If they still can't win, then they really have nothing to do.

In the second half, Chen Tian began to explode.

Chen Tian's consecutive scoring also overtook the score.

But both Westbrook and Paul George also stood up.

The scoring feast of several people made the fans in the audience very excited.

The home fans are also shouting to cheer for the home team.

At the end of the third quarter, with Chen Tian's performance, the Lakers completed the overtake and entered the fourth quarter with a five-point advantage.

This makes the fans at home are also worried.

But in the fourth quarter, Westbrook scored two consecutive mid-range shots, reducing the score to one point.

But Chen Tian's breakthrough once again opened the score.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, Westbrook and Paul George's physical strength declined, and their offensive efficiency also dropped.

As for Chen Tian, ​​the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and he quickly opened the score to eight points.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Thunder 98:90.

Although the Thunder lost, their stubbornness was seen by everyone.
