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

Soon the Lakers' away game against the Spurs will start soon.

In the locker room on the Lakers side, there is no more playfulness in the past, and everyone is silently preparing.

Even Chen Tian wore earphones to isolate himself from reality.

Chen Tian also wanted to calm down his heart.

Regarding the matter of the referee, neither Chen Tian nor Kobe told anyone.

Soon Monty walked in and announced tonight's starting lineup.

Except for Tucker being replaced by Ariza, no one has changed.

Soon the game is about to start, and all players from both the Lakers and Spurs are on the stage.

Barkley and Kenny will also be reporting tonight's commentary.

Barkley also said when he saw players from both teams playing.

"I hope tonight's game will be fair. I don't want to experience that kind of thing again."

Barkley's words were also talking about the last game between the Lakers and the Spurs.

Kenny also got the list of appearances.

"For the Lakers, Matthew, Kobe, Chen, Trevor and Nicola will start five players."

"It seems that the Lakers have made adjustments."

"As for the Spurs, the combination of Tony, Danny, Kawhi, Burris and Tim."

"The Lakers made adjustments, but the Spurs also made adjustments."

"This makes this game a lot more exciting."

On the Lakers side, Monty and Kaleman also looked at each other and frowned slightly when they saw the Spurs change.

This situation made the two of them feel very bad.

Chen Tian and Kobe also felt that something was wrong.

And the Spurs' bench.

Popovich also showed a mysterious smile looking at the lineup on the field.

As for why this old guy changed, even Duncan and the others didn't know.

But fortunately, the Spurs are a disciplined team, so no one will question Popovich.

Sitting there, Popovich also thought of a phone call last night.

"Hey, Greg, I'm Adam Silver."

Popovich picked up the phone, and when he heard the voice, he had the urge to hang up the phone.

"Adam Silver, I'm still David Stern, isn't this a liar?"

Popovich thought to himself.

But out of calm, Popovich did not hang up the phone.

Instead, they chatted with each other.

"Mr. President, why did you call me?"

"Greg, I don't want to go around in circles. Last time I asked the referee to take care of your Spurs, but you still lost."

"I seriously doubt what kind of strong team you are."

Popovich just wanted to say something here.

I only heard the other side continue talking.

"Don't give me any explanation. Now I will give you another chance. Tomorrow's game against the Lakers, take it for me. I will let the referee take care of you."

Before Popovich could speak, the phone hung up.

Popovich froze there while holding the phone.

He doesn't know whether what he said is true or not.

In this way, he sat in the study for two full hours without anyone bothering him.

In the end, Popovich still made a decision, that is, he would rather believe what he has or not believe what he has not.

You must know that for a coach like him, as long as he can win, any method will do.

This is the change in the Spurs' starting lineup tonight.

At the start of the game, Jokic and Duncan jumped the ball in the middle circle.

This allowed Jokic to win absolutely.

After all, Duncan is now a floor player, and bouncing has nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, Jokic gave the ball to Del Nudova, and the game officially started.

After holding the ball for halftime, Del Nudova handed the ball to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian faced Leonard's defense with the ball.

This time Chen Tian didn't choose to break through, but used the two perfectly coordinated skills of high-speed shaking and high-speed dribbling together.

After shaking twice in a row, Chen Tian pressed Leonard and broke through.

Leonard originally thought that Chen Tian would choose to break through to the restricted area.

But unexpectedly, Chen Tian suddenly slowed down, took a step back, leaned back and threw the ball.

Leonard didn't react to this ball, and everyone didn't react.

The ball was thrown by Chen Tian and obediently rolled into the net.

2: 0.

Seeing this scene, Leonard's heart sank.

"This guy has a new trick."

Another battle in another place, the Spurs have the ball here.

Since Duncan played center, it also caused Duncan to be defended by Jokic.

Parker came over with the ball and lobbed it to Duncan inside.

After Duncan held the ball against Jokic twice in a row.

Suddenly turning around with the ball, Jokic didn't expect it.

By the time Jokic reacted, it was too late.

But Jokic still rushed forward.

Chen Tian knew it was broken when he saw this scene.

Sure enough, the referee's whistle sounded here.

And Duncan put the ball directly into the basket because of his coherent action.

2+1.

Jokic also looked frustrated when he heard the whistle.

Chen Tian ran over, patted Jokic on the head, and gave him encouragement.

Here Duncan went to the free throw line and scored the ball steadily.

2: 3.

Chen Tian received the serve from the bottom line and came over with the ball.

He didn't rush to attack, but waited for Kobe to run out and pass the ball.

After Kobe took consecutive tentative steps with the ball, he immediately started up and withstood Danny Green.

And here, Chen Tian used the cover to escape Leonard and ran out.

Kobe saw the ball and passed it immediately.

Chen Tian received the ball, but instead of going inside, he made another mid-range shot and threw the ball out.

With a swipe, the ball crashed into the net.

4: 3.

Kenny in the commentary saw the Lakers' two offenses and analyzed them too.

"It seems that the Lakers' opening tactics are very clear. Chen did not attack the basket for two consecutive goals. They all completed the game with mid-range shots."

Barkley on the side also nodded.

In turn, the Spurs side.

Diaw started the game and brought a lot of changes to the Spurs' tactics.

Just like this ball, Parker came over with the ball and gave it to Diaw at the top of the arc.

Duncan in the corner on the other side gave Danny Green a pick-and-roll.

Danny Green shook off Kobe's defense and ran out.

Dior also passed the ball quickly.

But Ariza's timely defense made Danny Green no chance.

However, the Spurs' pass still caused a big loophole for the Lakers' defense this time, and Parker on the other side was directly missed.

After Danny Green saw it, he passed the ball.

Parker received the ball, also made an open three-pointer, and scored.

4: 6.

This goal was also a defensive error by the Lakers.

But on the other hand, Chen Tian once again used cover to kill him.

Receives a pass from Del Nudova.

When he was about to shoot, Danny Green came over to defend,

Chen Tian could only change his movements, and made a fake throw.

Unexpectedly, Danny Green swayed directly, causing Chen Tian to throw off the defense in one fell swoop.

Chen Tian went to the basket with the ball, and Leonard also came back in time to defend.

This gave Kobe a vacancy.

Chen Tian immediately made a fake move, turning Leonard's gaze away.

Then it passed the ball to Kobe.

Bryant is also easy to score in the open mid-range shot.

The score is 6:6.

The scores of the two teams were very stalemate at the beginning.
