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

The game between the two teams started, and the three of O'Neill stopped chatting, and everyone was looking at this game.

As soon as the game started, Chen Tian and Jokic cooperated tacitly, and the former scored an easy layup.

But in turn, Gay also swayed away from Anthony's defense, stepped back and scored the ball.

Gay scored as soon as he came up, which made Popovich feel more at ease on the sidelines.

In the first two games, although Gay's performance was quite satisfactory, Popovich was not satisfied.

Because the team's best scorer, besides Leonard, is Rudy Gay.

So he has to score more.

This is also why Popovich found Gay on purpose before, and after chatting with him, Gay changed his way of playing.

He now needs to share the pressure of Leonard on the offensive end.

The way this Spurs team scores is special.

It can be seen that the Spurs' game and post-game statistics are very good for everyone.

Just like the first matchup between the Lakers and the Spurs, Leonard actually didn't play so well.

The whole game scored more than 20 points. You must know that Leonard is a forward who is on the same level as Chen Tian and James.

It was only in the playoffs that they got this point. No matter how you look at it, the team doesn't seem to be able to win.

But they just won, and it made the Lakers very aggrieved to lose.

So that's the way the Spurs are doing.

But sometimes this approach is not very useful.

Although Popovich advocates team basketball, he is not an old-fashioned.

So in this game, he is also preparing to let Leonard and Gay let go.

This is one of the changes he will make.

In the game on the court, Monty also found that Gay and Leonard had a lot more offenses than the previous two games.

Monty immediately knew what Popovich was planning.

But this is aimed at the Spurs themselves, not the Lakers.

Because the strengthening of Leonard and Gay's offense cannot change the Lakers' offense.

The two teams are just blowing each other up.

And it's pretty much the same here.

Chen Tian retreated and shot in steadily.

Conversely, Leonard couldn't do very well in singles against Chen Tian.

But the Spurs pass the ball well, so Leonard also scored with his teammates for a layup.

After Anthony made three threats, he hit the basket with the ball and caused a foul.

Two free throws were scored steadily.

Gay also cooperated with Xiaojia tacitly, running back from the baseline to get the ball and directly turning back to the basket and scoring.

"After the two teams started, the main points were all around the forward position!"

"It appears that the Spurs have indeed made a change."

Kenny said as he watched the game on the field.

"The offense of both teams is mainly based on core players and good scorers. It seems that this game will be very exciting."

After O'Neill said this, his eyes were full of excitement.

On the field, Xiaojia and Jokic have completely become the same tool people.

The coping ability of both of them is the top in nba.

Especially after getting the ball inside, the ability to pass the ball out can be seen as a player from Europe.

The two also kept covering in the high position, and then passed the ball to the double forwards.

Chen Tian received the ball, flew up and dunked the ball in with one hand.

Gay didn't give up too much when he let it go, and when he received the ball, he gave an explosive bang with both hands.

This game between the two teams is completely different from the previous two games.

This is why fans are willing to watch the Western Conference Finals.

In fact, every game has a different feeling.

After Chen Tian scored the ball again, a timeout also occurred.

"The two teams really need a timeout at this time. The game has been so intense since the first minute. How will we play in the next few quarters?"

Kenny wiped the sweat off his head and said the same.

During the timeout, the two teams also made substitutions.

The Spurs replaced Jia and Fox with Poeltl and Green.

The Lakers also replaced Yi Jianlian and jr, and replaced Jokic and Anthony.

After the timeout, the game between the two teams continued.

After returning, the outside lines of the two teams also opened fire.

First, White received Green's point and scored the ball with an outside shot.

With this three-pointer scored, the Spurs' bench also stood up excitedly.

But in turn, jr also received the pass and made a three-pointer from the outside to score the ball.

Jr's three-pointer also returned the favor.

In the second half of the first quarter, the head coaches of the two teams made substitutions tacitly.

Zhou Qi, Isaiah and others were also replaced.

However, Chen Tian and Leonard were both replaced by the head coach.

"Did the two teams negotiate a good deal, how can the substitutions be the same?"

"Chen Tian and Leonard were both replaced at the same time."

O'Neill also said puzzled.

In fact, Monty and Popovich have no choice.

The pace of the game is too fast, Chen Tian and Leonard must have a rest time.

Otherwise, in the last quarter, there will be another fight.

Fortunately, Chen Tian said that Leonard can hold on.

In fact, Chen Tian was a little puzzled when he was replaced.

After all, I know what kind of physical strength I have, so how could I replace him.

Seeing Chen Tian's puzzled eyes, Monty knew what this kid was thinking.

"Don't think about it, letting you down is to take a rest, the game can't just rely on you alone!"

"What's more, you can't just play hard against the Spurs."

Chen Tian heard the coach say that, so he could only sit on the bench.

To be honest, he is really not used to it. In the playoffs, he spends too little time on the bench.

So sitting down suddenly made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But the game on the court is still very exciting.

The scoring of the two teams began to focus on the inside, and Yi Jianlian, Isaiah and others also scored frequently.

And Poeltl and Zhou Qi also took advantage of holding high and hitting high to score the ball.

Soon the first quarter was also over.

The two teams played at 31:30, and the Spurs temporarily led by one point.

"The first quarter is over. The offense in this game is very smooth. It can be seen that the tactics of the two teams are similar!"

"On the defensive end, the two teams have done a good job!"

"In this kind of game, it depends on who makes a mistake first. If anyone makes a mistake, it may ruin the efforts of a normal game."

Kenny also said in the commentary booth.

The rest time is over, and the second quarter of the two teams has also begun.

In the second quarter, Chen Tian and Leonard also returned to the court.

Back in the second quarter, Leonard's shot also missed the basket.

But in turn, Chen Tian's jump shot was also interfered by Leonard.

The two missed shots also opened up a scoring drought for the two teams.

Zhou Qi touched jr's layup, and the ball missed.

Conversely, Poeltl's open mid-range shot also fell out of the basket.

Matthew's three-pointer missed.

Green's shot came directly to a non-stick.

The two teams did not score for two and a half consecutive points.

This made the fans laugh too.

Finally, Chen Tian broke through and passed the ball to Noah, and Noah scored the ball under the basket.

This goal was considered a scoring drought for the two teams.

You must know that there are too many players who can score for the two teams, and the result is two and a half points without scoring.

In this scene, not to mention the three people in the commentary seat who were already laughing.

Even the head coaches of the two teams on the sidelines put their hands on their knees and bowed their heads.

But seeing the trembling shoulders of both of them, I knew Popovich and Monty were there smiling.

Suddenly, such an interesting scene can appear on the stage of the Western Conference Finals.

Fortunately, after the scoring drought passed, the game between the two teams also returned to normal.

Chen Tian and Leonard's consecutive scoring also made the competition more and more intense.

The head coaches of the two teams are also changing frequently.

Jokic, Xiaojia and others were also replaced.

In the second half of the second quarter, the game between the two teams also reached a stalemate.

Chen Tian rushed to the basket, facing Leonard and White's defense, Chen Tian forced a layup against the defense and scored the ball.

Chen Tian roared in this ball fight.

The Spurs were attacking here, and Chen Tian slapped White's layup when he arrived.

The Lakers counterattacked, and Chen Tian's counterattack was too fast.

Leonard couldn't keep up with him at all, so he could only watch Chen Tianfei hit the ball with his tomahawk.

As the halftime break approached, Chen Tian suddenly erupted, catching the Spurs by surprise.

Fortunately, Leonard's touch has improved at this time.

With 1 minute left in the second quarter, Leonard scored two consecutive mid-range shots.

Only then did the Lakers' powerful offense be stopped.

Afterwards, neither Chen Tian nor Leonard scored.

The second quarter is also over.

At halftime, the Lakers led the Spurs by four points 58:54.

At the end of the halftime game, neither Popovich nor Monty showed anything on their faces.

But it can be seen that this game will definitely be played to the end.
