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

Chen Tian didn't rush to attack with the ball, but asked Jokic to set him a pick-and-roll.

Then use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Miller's defense.

Here Davis immediately came over to help defend.

Chen Tian also made a ground pass to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian took the ball and shot it directly, but it may be that his hand was a little hard at the beginning, so the goal was not scored.

Cousins ​​at the basket received the ball, and the Pelicans began to counterattack.

On Rondo's side, Tucker used to stick to the defense.

Chen Tian and Yi Jianlian also quickly returned to the inside defense.

Rondo was unable to get the ball to Davis under Tucker's interference.

So there is no way but to give the ball to Korver.

And Korver also stabilized a bit, changing the counterattack into a positional battle.

As a veteran, Korver still has a lot of experience on the court.

At this time, Cousins ​​​​also ran over, and then received a pass from Korver in the low post.

Cousins ​​hit Jokic with the ball on his back, then turned around and threw the ball.

But no one expected that Chen Tian would arrive suddenly.

With a slap, he slapped the ball out.

"Oh, wonderful block, and an adventurous one too!"

"The Lakers have obviously given up on defending the Pelicans' outside line. Chen Tian has been helping to defend the inside line."

Chen Tian's block shot also raised the atmosphere of this match.

But in the following time, the Lakers began to grasp the rhythm of the game.

The cooperation between Chen Tian and Jokic became more and more tacit.

Jokic and Chen Tian cooperated hand in hand, and Chen Tian directly scored the ball with a jumper.

Chen Tian lobbed the ball to Jokic in the low post.

Jokic took the ball and hit Cousins ​​with his back, Chen Tian made a pick-and-roll run, and then rushed inside.

Jokic passed the ball to Chen Tian without looking at anyone, and Chen Tian flew up with a strong punch with both hands.

On the other hand, on the Pelicans side, the targeted defense made by the Lakers is very effective.

Both Cousins ​​and Davis struggled to catch the ball.

As soon as the two attack, Chen Tian will immediately come over to help defend.

This allowed the two to fail to score in several consecutive attacks.

And Miller's outside shots don't feel very good.

Seeing this scene, Gentry quickly made adjustments and replaced Mirotic.

Although Mirotic is a bit slower, his three-pointers are a big killer for the team.

After Mirotic was replaced, the Pelicans completely entered the positional battle.

It has to be said that after Mirotic came up, it was very difficult for Chen Tian to help defend.

After all, Mirotic's three-pointer is not comparable to Miller.

So the Pelicans' offense gradually improved after that.

The cooperation between Davis and Cousins ​​has become more and more tacit with the running-in of these seasons.

So at the end of the first quarter of the two teams, the Lakers were only slightly ahead.

But everyone knew that this was because Chen Tian hadn't reached the time to exert his strength yet.

So the home fans are not in a hurry.

On the other side of the auditorium, Kobe's family was also sitting together.

Because of Chen Tian's warning to Kobe, now Kobe's focus has shifted to his family.

Vanessa is said to be pregnant again.

This is very good news for Kobe.

In foreign families, there will still be many children.

Now Kobe's family is quite happy, especially the smile on Vanessa's face has never disappeared.

Soon the second quarter of the two teams also began.

Because everyone knew that Chen Tian hadn't exerted his strength yet, so the Pelicans didn't relax in the second quarter.

Gentry still kept Cousins ​​on the court.

On the Lakers side, Jokic will lead the team alone.

The young lineup, under the tandem of Jokic, is still playing very well.

But the Pelicans kept Cousins ​​on the court just to overtake the score.

Finally, in the middle of the second quarter, Cousins ​​scored a three-pointer and overtook the score.

When Monty saw this scene, he also called a timeout.

Jokic and the others returned to the bench, and Monty nodded.

"It's okay to play, I feel good!"

"Leave the rest to Chen Tian."

Chen Tian also smiled on the side, and then prepared to go on stage.

Back from the timeout, both teams made substitutions.

The Pelicans let Davis and Mirotic partner inside, and the Lakers also replaced Chen Tian.

Davis plays the center position and moves very fast.

But when Chen Tian came up, he was directly detained one by one.

On the other hand, Davis wanted to pay Chen Tian back, but was blocked by McGee.

This time Davis was depressed.

But fortunately, Mirotic and Moore scored three-pointers, which did not allow the Lakers to recover the score.

But then Anthony broke out.

He feints off Mirotic, then drives to the hoop for a layup.

After the Lakers defended successfully, Anthony made another fast break and made a three-pointer.

After Anthony's touch came up, the Lakers' offense became much easier.

In fact, Chen Tian and Anthony haven't cooperated for a long time.

Since Anthony was injured, his starting position has not been particularly stable.

Therefore, the striker combination of Chen Tian and Anthony has never been able to exert its power.

Anthony's outburst at this time made the two cooperate again.

In the following time, Anthony and Chen Tian cooperated tacitly, allowing the fans at home to feel the power of double forwards again.

At the end of the half, the Lakers temporarily led by five points 54:49.

Gentry saw the halftime game, and the Lakers actually overtook the score.

This made Gentry feel very bad.

After all, in the second half, if Chen Tian started to show his power, it would not be a good thing for the Pelicans.

So during the halftime break, Gentry also instilled chicken soup into Davis and Cousins, telling them to explode in the second half.

Otherwise, there would really be no suspense in this game.

Davis and Cousins ​​naturally know this too.

Soon the halftime break ended, and the third quarter of the two teams also began.

"As expected, Chen Tian also started to explode in the third quarter."

At the beginning of the third quarter, Chen Tian blocked Cousins' shot as soon as he came up.

Then Chen Tian counterattacked and scored a layup.

Afterwards, Chen Tian's two consecutive retreats all hit.

It also opened up the score at once.

Davis and Cousins ​​saw this scene, and they knew they couldn't wait, otherwise the suspense of the game would really be gone.

In the following time, Chen Tian and the Shuang Si combination also confronted each other.

Chen Tian made a jumper.

Davis also has backs, turns and back shots.

Chen Tian rushed to the basket, scored a layup and caused a foul by Cousins.

Cousins ​​received the pass inside, and after shaking his back, he also turned around and dunked with both hands.

The outbreak of the Shuangsi combination was very timely, so that the score was not stretched too much.

But at this time, Jokic also stood up.

While passing the ball to Chen Tian, ​​he can also make choices for Chen Tian.

He scored all the passes Chen Tian gave him.

This time the Pelican side is very dangerous.

And Jokic's current style of play is also what he and Chen Tian worked together to find out for so long.

Here, Chen Tian passed the ball to Jokic again, and Jokic passed the ball back to Chen Tian after a little flick.

Chen Tian also made a direct three-pointer from outside.

With this goal scored, the Lakers' lead has also reached a very strong advantage.

When Gentry saw the situation on the court, he knew it was going to be bad.

Afterwards, the two teams made substitutions, and the Lakers went smoothly.

The role players came up and Caruso scored a three-pointer.

Rose's impact was also a layup.

This time the morale of the Pelicans was also seriously damaged.

Fortunately, the third quarter is also over.

In the fourth quarter, Davis and Cousins ​​also returned to the court to recover the score.

But Chen Tian would not give them this chance.

You must know that it doesn't matter if you lose in the regular season, it's just a loss in one game.

But in the playoffs, the loss of a game is very serious.

So Chen Tian will never give the Pelicans another chance to comeback.

Under Chen Tian's leadership, the Lakers never gave the Pelicans a chance to fight back.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Pelicans 103:94.

It also achieved a 1:0 lead with a big score.

"The whole game is over, and the Pelicans' performance in this game is obviously not good enough!"

"Their role players need to stand up, and the duo needs some people to help them, otherwise the Pelicans can't beat the Lakers."

O'Neal also made such comments after the game.

And Kenny got the data list of the two teams.

"For the Pelicans, Cousins ​​contributed 25 points and 12 rebounds, and Davis also scored 29 points and 8 rebounds!"

"The performance of the two is already very good, but the performance of the others is not very good."

"As for the Lakers, Chen Tian scored 31 points. This is the failure of the Pelicans' defense and the key to their loss in this game!"

"But fortunately, this is only the first game, and the Pelicans still have time to prepare!"

"After a day's rest, it will be the second matchup between the Lakers and Pelicans. We will wait and see."

And just after the game between the Lakers and the Pelicans, the NBA's regular season awards were also released.
