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

"The third quarter is over. No one would have thought that the Pelicans would chase the score back in the last 3 minutes!"

"The resilience they showed in this round of the series let everyone see their desire for a championship."

For this game, Kenny also made a word of affirmation for the Pelicans.

On the other hand, Barkley and O'Neill agreed with Kenny's point of view.

But now they are not optimistic that the Pelicans can win this game.

Seeing that Barkley's expressions were not very good, Kenny asked in puzzlement.

"What's the matter, don't you guys like the pelicans?"

Buckley shook his head.

"It's not that they are not optimistic, but they have fallen into Chen Tian's trap, and it can even be said to be the Lakers' trap."

As soon as Barkley said this, O'Neal on the side also nodded.

Kenny was a little puzzled.

In fact, it's not Kenny's fault. No matter what Kenny says, he is just a role player when he plays.

When the game is critical, he basically has no chance to play.

So naturally I don't quite understand what O'Neill and Barkley are talking about.

"Didn't you find any problems after three quarters?"

When O'Neill said this, he also looked at Kenny.

Kenny thought for a moment and shook his head.

O'Neill is also confirmed, and TNT asked Kenny to partner with the two of them to explain.

It's all about making him a lubricant between the two of them.

TNT is afraid that he will fight Barkley.

As for Kenny's ability to explain the game on the court, there is really nothing to compliment.

O'Neill also touched his head helplessly.

"Look at the benches of the two teams!"

"On the Pelicans side, Davis and Cousins, including Rondo, are all wiping their sweat!"

"Look at the Lakers' bench. Chen Tian didn't even break a sweat sitting there."

Kenny would be a fool if he didn't understand what O'Neill said.

"Are you saying that the third quarter was completely a hole the Lakers dug for the Pelicans?"

Both Barkley and O'Neill nodded.

"From the current situation, it seems that this is really the case."

Time went back to the halftime break.

After Monty and Kaleman finished discussing tactics, Kaleman also called Chen Tian out of the locker room.

Because it is the home game of the Pelicans, there are all Pelicans staff outside the locker room.

Kaleman called Chen Tian out, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Chen Tian, ​​in the third quarter, Monty and I have some different ideas!"

Chen Tian was still a little puzzled when he heard this.

After all, it is certain that he broke out in the third quarter, so why are there other tactics?

Seeing Chen Tian's expression, Kaleman also laughed.

"Don't worry, we are going to dig a hole for the pelicans!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Tian immediately became interested.

"In the third quarter, you still have to explode, but instead of attacking yourself, you need to pass the ball more!"

"What we want to ensure is that Cousins, Davis, and Rondo will always stay on the court!"

"In this way, we can consume their physical strength very well!"

"Between the fourth quarter, it's time for you to wrap up."

When Chen Tian heard what Kaleman said, he burst out laughing.

"Fuck, you two are bad enough!"

"Why didn't I think of such a tactic?"

When Kaleman heard this, he also laughed.

"We didn't expect the resilience of the Pelicans to be so good, and we didn't expect you to be injured suddenly!"

"The Pelicans pushed us over the edge, so that's why we came up with this tactic."

For this tactic, Chen Tian really did not expect it.

In fact, in the previous life, there was no such tactic.

Because of this tactic, in fact, it mainly depends on Chen Tian, ​​holding back the opponent's main force and consuming their physical strength.

It depends on Chen Tian's physical strength.

Otherwise, how to hold back the opponent.

Back to the present, after listening to O'Neal's words, Kenny looked at the Lakers bench coaching staff with eyes full of fear.

"It's really scary, they can think of such a tactic!"

"The coaching staff of the Lakers is really extraordinary."

Barkley also shook his head and said.

"Such a tactic is the Lakers, and other teams simply cannot come up with such a tactic."

Soon the fourth quarter of the two teams also began.

Cousins, Davis and Rondo also returned to the court.

But seeing the tired looks on the faces of the four, Monty knew that the tactic had succeeded.

Just as Chen Tian was about to return to the field, Monty grabbed Chen Tian.

"It's time to explode."

Chen Tian smiled and nodded when he heard this.

The two teams came back in the fourth quarter, and Davis' shot went wide of the basket as soon as it came up.

Jokic at the basket pressed Cousins ​​to grab the rebound.

Now not only Chen Tian's physical strength is very good, Jokic's physical strength is also quite good.

In the third quarter, Jokic only played half a quarter, so his physical strength is definitely enough now.

Chen Tian saw Jokic grab the offensive rebound and immediately ran forward.

Jokic also made a long pass. Chen Tian got the ball in the frontcourt and dunked it in after flying up.

"Let me just say, this stamina monster is simply incomprehensible."

Barkley in the commentary also said helplessly.

At this time, Gentry finally realized that he had been fooled.

But he was helpless, and the Pelicans seemed to have reached second in the Western Conference in the regular season.

But there are too few players available in the lineup.

If the Twin Towers were not on the scene, the Pelicans might be defeated faster.

"It seems that during the offseason, the team still needs to make some signings."

Gentry also thought of it.

In fact, Gentry didn't think of this, and the management of the arena sitting above the arena also thought of this.

Now the development of the Pelicans is very good, and the team is already one of the absolute strong teams in the West.

So they will not rashly move the team's core lineup.

Signing is a must, not to mention other players who can lead the team to attack, the Pelicans can have a variety of choices.

As for the game on the court, although Cousins ​​and Davis are still insisting.

But anyone can see that the Lakers have already mastered the rhythm of the game.

Especially Chen Tian, ​​his explosion finally came.

Chen Tian's outbursts are always offensive and defensive at the same time.

On the defensive end, Rondo's pass was intercepted.

Then he hit the basket and folded his hands vigorously for a dunk.

Then there was another open three-pointer.

Even against the defense of Davis and Cousins, Chen Tian even took out the extreme fallback shot.

Although the Lakers already dominated the game in the fourth quarter.

But you can still see the tenacity of the Pelicans, Davis and Cousins ​​​​are still chasing points.

The score of the two teams has also been maintained at around eight points.

But with 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Davis and Cousins' physical strength had reached their limit.

Therefore, the two failed to attack for three consecutive rounds, which also gave the Lakers a chance to expand their score.

Chen Tian first retreated and made a steady shot.

After that, he made another layup with a tie rod in the air.

Then assisted Jokic to score the ball, and the Lakers completely opened the score.

Seeing this scene, Gentry also reluctantly replaced Cousins ​​and Davis.

Announced abandonment of the game.

The Lakers didn't kill them all, and Monty also replaced Chen Tian and Jokic.

This game has also declared that it has entered garbage time.

But a very miraculous scene, that is, the fans at home did not leave at this game's garbage time.

In fact, they all knew that if they failed to win this game, the chances of winning the seventh game would be too small.

This may be their last game at home.

Although this game was lost, the fans saw the team's persistence.

I saw the unwillingness in the eyes of Cousins ​​and Davis.

Their results this season are perfect. Facing the Lakers with God in the playoffs, they can drag the score into the tiebreaker.

With such a result, fans are satisfied.

So when it comes to garbage time, many fans also stay in the auditorium.

This scene moved the players of the Pelicans very much.

Sitting in the audience, Chen Tian also smiled when he saw this scene.

Such scenes are indeed worthy of respect.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Pelicans 107:98.

The big score was tied at 3:3, and the two teams were about to have a final tiebreaker.

"The whole game is over, and the four quarters are like seeing four different duels!"

"The evenness of the first quarter, the tenacious resistance of the second quarter, the tricks of the third quarter and the end of the last quarter!"

"The Lakers interpreted with perfect tactics, what is a good coach determines the outcome of the game!"

"But at the same time, the Pelicans deserve our respect. They also fought to the end in this game."

What O'Neal said at the end of the game also summed up the entire game process.

And Kenny also got the data of the players of the two teams.

"Davis still scored the Pelicans' highest score of 27 points!"

"Cousins ​​also scored 25 points, and Rondo's 11 assists are all very good performances!"

"But for the Lakers, Chen Tian scored 36 points alone!"

"In this game, Anthony, Jokic, and Yi Jianlian played well!"

"Combined with the team's head coach's tactics, the Lakers also won this game."

Barkley also made a statement at the end.

"Although the Lakers pulled themselves back from the brink in this game!"

"But the game is not over yet, they still have a tie-break to play!"

"If you are careless, you will lose, so there are still uncertain factors in the seventh game!"

"Competitive sports are like this. No one can be sure who will win until the end."

Barkley also said the best.

But no matter what, the Lakers did bring the game back to Los Angeles.

The entire Lakers team returned to the locker room and celebrated together.

This game is indeed full of twists and turns.

After taking a break, Chen Tian took out his phone and watched the game between the Bucks and the Nets.

This game is also a last stand for the Bucks.

They are also the one behind by a large score, and they are playing away games.

Because this game was later than the Lakers', the Nets and Bucks didn't start until the fourth quarter after the Lakers' game ended.

The current score of the two teams is 79:86, and the Bucks are very dangerous.

Chen Tian was not too surprised when he saw the score.

After all, the advantage of the home court, coupled with the fact that the Nets are already very strong.

So it is normal for the Bucks to fall behind.

After the start of the fourth quarter of the two teams, the Bucks also launched a fierce momentum of chasing points.

The score is 7 points behind, if you don't hurry up, it will be too late.

The Bucks' fierce attack still has some effect.

Soon there was only a four-point gap left.

At this time, James and Durant also stood up in time.

First, Durant hit the basket and scored a layup.

After that, James also assisted Joha to make a three-pointer.

Antetokounmpo received a pass from Li Yu, which was originally a good assist, but was blocked by James who arrived.

This big cap made the morale of the Bucks drop a bit.

If no one can stand up, the Bucks are really in danger.

Fortunately, the team veteran Da Luo scored two points in the interior, which stopped the Bucks' decline.

But the offense of James and Durant, there is no way for the Bucks to stop it.

If the abilities of these two can be blocked, the Bucks will not fall into a backlash.

Seeing this situation, Chen Tian knew that the first team in the Eastern Conference Finals was about to appear.

Sure enough, in the following time, although the Bucks also scored, they couldn't stop the Nets' offense.

Even the Nets' offense became smoother and smoother.

In the final game, the Nets defeated the Bucks 112:103.

The first team in the Eastern Conference Finals appeared, and that was the Nets.

And his opponent will be the winner between the Celtics and the 76ers.

After watching this game, Chen Tian recognized the performance of the Bucks this season.

After all, Antetokounmpo and Li Yu are still very young, and the team still has a lot of room for development.

The goal of the Nets this season is very simple.

Last season, due to Durant's injury and the team's lack of experience, the semifinals also fell into the sand.

But this season they are destined to get the O'Brien Cup.

After all, two of the top five forwards in NBA history are on the same team. If such a combination does not win the championship, it will definitely be the greatest shame.

In fact, Chen Tian was really looking forward to confronting the Nets in the finals.

After all, it is very cool to think about defeating such a lineup.

But before that, the Lakers still have to reach the Western Conference Finals.
