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

In the third quarter, no one would have thought that the Lakers would fall behind by nine points.

You must know that at the end of the halftime game, the Lakers still led by 7 points.

In fact, not only the fans at the scene were shocked, but also the fans who watched the live broadcast of this game were also very shocked.

After all, the Lakers are a team with four championships, not to mention they still have Chen Tian.

How should not play such a quarter of the game.

Throughout the third quarter, the Lakers lost a full 16 points.

On the field, after Chen Tian and the others returned to the bench, a trace of despair appeared in the eyes of Brunson and the others.

It was the Spurs' defense that made them uncomfortable.

Similarly, Monty also knew that he underestimated the strength of the Spurs.

It even underestimated Popovich's change.

The morale of the team is now at the bottom.

The game in the third quarter was completely out of control.

Chen Tian was sitting on the bench, he did not give up, but how to change this situation has become Chen Tian's biggest headache now.

With a nine-point difference, for the Spurs, they can definitely defend until the end.

Monty and Kaleman are also sitting there now, not knowing what to think.

The atmosphere of the entire Lakers bench has become more and more depressed.

Chen Tian knew that he needed to stand up at this time.

At this time, Chen Tian finally thought of a way.

Just when everyone was in a daze, a voice suddenly appeared, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

Everyone looked for the sound, only to see Chen Tian clapping his hands there.

When Chen Tian saw that everyone was already looking at him, he was making a long story short.

"In a while, PJ-Tucker, Matthew Dellavedova, JR-Smith and Joakim Noah, you play with me, we must recover the score as soon as possible!"

"It's not the end of the game yet, and it's not time for us to give up."

After Chen Tian finished speaking, the coldness in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Everyone lowered their heads after seeing Chen Tian's eyes.

They really didn't dare to face Chen Tian's cold eyes.

After hearing Chen Tian's arrangement, Monty's eyes immediately brightened.

"Yeah, why did I forget!"

"The small lineup is really the key to cracking the opponent's big lineup!"

"Speed ​​is the most important thing!"

"Noah's inside support ability and passing ability are good. It's a good idea to let him go up."

Monty also thought of a way and quickly gathered everyone together.

Then the tactics were also explained.

Or how to say that he is a coach, Chen Tian also nodded after seeing Monty's tactics.

The morale of the team was low just now because no one was recruited.

But now what Monty and Chen Tian said, the morale of the team was once again united.

And everyone nodded after seeing the tactics arranged by Monty.

Chen Tian also laughed when he saw Monty's arrangement.

In fact, Chen Tian didn't think too much about it at all. He went to Noah because Jokic and Yi Jianlian needed to take a break.

But for Monty, going to Noah has become a surprise tactic.

Soon the time for the break in the third quarter also passed.

The last quarter of the game between the two teams is about to start.

When everyone saw the Lakers lineup, they were all shocked and confused.

"Joakim Noah, why did the Lakers send this player up?"

"It seems that Noah didn't appear in a single game in the playoffs?"

"Are you going to give up?"

Johnson also asked in puzzlement in the commentary booth.

Ginobili also didn't see what the Lakers meant.

And Van Gundy Jr. also said.

"It should be impossible to give up, after all, there is still a whole quarter of the game!"

"The starters like Chen Tian and Tucker are still on the field!"

"So maybe this is a change for the Lakers as well."

But the words of Van Gundy Jr. did not convince the fans.

You must know that Noah didn't have much playing time in the regular season.

Now that it's the Western Conference finals, fans can't understand him being allowed to play.

Anyway, there are already many people who scold Monty now.

After seeing the Lakers' lineup, Popovich didn't have any expression of relaxation.

He can see that this is the Lakers preparing to use the small lineup to break the big lineup.

But a small lineup can break a big lineup, but similarly, if a big lineup plays positional warfare, then a small lineup will not be easy to play.

So Popovich wasn't in that rush.

After the two teams returned from the four quarters, Poeltl scored the ball as soon as he came up inside.

It can be clearly seen that Noah's status is still in the process of adjustment.

Conversely, in the Lakers' offense, Chen Tian came over with the ball, and instead of passing the ball, he resolutely rushed to the basket.

Naturally, the Spurs still fully contracted, and Chen Tian also distributed the ball to JR on the outside.

JR took the ball from the outside and made a direct three-pointer.

This was also what Chen Tian told them before playing, that is to shoot three-pointers resolutely, now the only way for the Lakers to catch up.

JR's three-pointer made the entire Lakers bench stand up.

Because it depends on whether the three-pointer can be scored.

This time the ball did not disappoint the Lakers, and it steadily scored into the basket.

The goal was scored, and the Lakers bench cheered.

It was really aggrieved for a long time, and finally I was able to release it.

This goal scored an eight-point gap between the Lakers and the Spurs.

Although there is a lot of difference in points, at least the morale of the Lakers has improved.

After that, Noah's state also improved.

He grabbed the rebound first, then received a pass from Chen Tian on the offensive end, and then passed the ball without sticking to the ball.

Matthew's CIC scored steadily.

Seeing this scene, Popovich knew that the morale of the Lakers had improved.

Scoring these two goals is really crucial.

Popovich is not so anxious, after all, the Spurs are still ahead.

But Popovich still pulled Mills over and whispered something in his ear.

After that, the Spurs' offensive rhythm became slower and slower, completely in the mode of positional warfare.

But the Spurs' offensive efficiency is not too high.

Every time a shot is missed, the Lakers will use the fastest speed to bring the rhythm up.

So this game is very tiring for the fans to watch.

Because the tempo changes so fast.

But one thing is that the fans started to apologize to Monty.

Because they saw the hope that the Lakers could recover.

In the following time, the tactics of the two teams did not change in any way.

It's just that the players are changing.

After all, no one is Chen Tian.

At this time, Anthony and others also returned to the court.

Leonard's mid-range shot once again gave the Spurs a five-point absolute victory.

But in turn, Anthony's retreat shot, although the ball missed, it still caused a foul.

Anthony made two free throws steadily.

On the other hand, he used his height and wingspan to hit Chen Tian hard inside, and put the ball in.

Chen Tian was also very helpless with this ball, no matter how much he defended under the basket, he couldn't even jump.

In the following time, the offense of the two teams gradually showed a white-hot stage.

The Spurs have always had a three-to-four lead.

It's also strange, no matter how much the Lakers are chasing points, as long as the three-pointer is reached, the Spurs will be able to defend immediately, and then counterattack and score the ball.

As time went by, there was only one minute left in the game.

Chen Tian made another layup and scored the ball, and the point difference between the two teams also returned to a three-point gap.

But in turn, Leonard used the cover to throw off Chen Tian's defense.

He rushed to the basket and dunked the ball across Jokic.

Afterwards, Chen Tian and Leonard also clashed.

But the three-point gap, the Lakers have not caught up.

With Chen Tian's last three-point shot going wide of the basket, this match was also a final conclusion.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 103:100.
