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

Early the next morning, Chen Tian drove to the arena.

After arriving, Chen Tian saw Kobe, Jokic, and Del Nudova chatting.

Seeing Chen Tian coming, the three of them also stepped forward to say hello.

After that, the four also made some simple shots.

Waiting for teammates to arrive while shooting.

After a while, Tucker and Yi Jianlian walked in together.

After that, several people also chatted.

Del Nudova also said at this time.

"Do you think we have hope this season, breaking the Bulls' 72 wins?"

Hearing this, Chen Tian smiled and said.

"Why not, now we have only lost five games, and as long as we go all out in the next games, we will be fine."

But at this time, a voice came from behind, and it also directly slapped Chen Tian in the face.

"That's impossible. In the following games, I will selectively give up some. I want to ensure that none of you are in danger of being injured in the playoffs."

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked over.

I only saw Monty and Kaleman standing behind them at some point.

Hearing Monty's words, Chen Tian also spread his hands helplessly.

"That can't be helped, who made him the head coach."

Seeing Chen Tian's aggrieved expression, he immediately amused everyone.

After that, everyone arrived one after another.

Seeing everyone arrived, Monty also let everyone go directly to the meeting room.

After coming to the meeting room, Monty also said.

"In February we lost three games and that's something I can't forgive."

"Although there were two games and our main players were absent, I am very dissatisfied with your performance."

Hearing Monty's words, everyone also lowered their heads.

You must know that February happened to be the time when Chen Tian was suspended and Kobe was injured.

Neither Chen Tian nor Kobe were there for the game against the Cavaliers.

When playing against the Trail Blazers, Chen Tian wasn't there either.

Although it has a certain impact, the process of the game will not lie.

In the game against the Cavaliers, it was obvious that, except for Jokic and Villanudova, no one performed very well.

Jr went directly to the nerve knife mode, and it was an inaccurate nerve knife.

So that game was also the one where Monty was angriest.

At this moment, Chen Tian stood up first.

"I'm sorry, it's my irrationality that has hindered the team. I need to review here."

After hearing Chen Tian's words, everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

Seeing this scene, Monty was still very happy.

You must know that a team not only needs to win, but the team culture and atmosphere are also necessary for winning.

Kobe on the other side also nodded in relief seeing Chen Tian's performance like this.

To say that Kobe has never retired, the Lakers team is the most worrying thing in my heart.

In fact, after Kobe was injured, Kobe had the idea of ​​​​retiring, but seeing a lineup like the Lakers.

He is also very uncomfortable, so he also hopes that he can still make the last contribution to the team.

But no one expected that a Chen Tian would come from the sky.

The Lakers completed the reconstruction of the team in an instant.

This also gave Kobe the idea of ​​retiring after playing for another season.

After all, the Lakers will introduce Cameron next season, and then the Lakers will be the Big Four team of him, Chen Tian, ​​Cameron, and Nicola.

The Big Four twice in Kobe's career all ended in failure. This is one of the few thorns in Kobe's heart.

If they can succeed next season, then he really has no regrets.

The meeting will be over soon.

After the meeting, everyone was clear-headed, and now everyone knows how to help the team win.

The time soon came to March [-]nd, and the Lakers were about to play against the Thunder at home.

This game has been doomed since Durant was injured.

So everyone didn't have much expectation.

Soon at seven o'clock in the evening, the match between the two teams began.

The Thunder's starters are Westbrook, Robertson, Ibaka, and Adams.

Kyle Singler replaced Durant as the starting forward.

For Singler, his size is really similar to Durant.

But he didn't have Durant's skills, and after the game started, he was ruthlessly beaten by Chen Tian.

But the Thunder didn't have any good substitutions.

In the end, Coach Brooks had no choice but to replace Reggie and let Robertson defend Chen Tian.

Robertson's defense was good, and it caused some troubles for Chen Tian.

But when Chen Tian couldn't do it, Kobe exploded.

Whether it's Reggie or Westbrook defending Kobe, they can only be blown up.

After all, the defense of the two is really not very good.

After the second quarter, Coach Brooks changed the team's offensive tactics.

At the beginning, he mainly focused on the inside line, focusing on Adams and Ibaka.

This tactic has yielded good results.

Jokic and Adams are equally matched in the paint.

But Ibaka is not something Tucker can defend.

After all, the height difference is not small.

In addition, Ibaka's ability is not a post-up single.

It's a face-up shot, and Tucker's defense is very difficult.

But the Lakers still had Yi Jianlian sitting off the court. Seeing Tucker's difficulties, Monty also directly replaced Yi Jianlian.

With Yi Jianlian's current physical fitness, he can still defend Ibaka.

Sure enough, after Yi Jianlian came up, Thunderclap's offense was not going well.

But who is Westbrook, that's a tough one.

Go directly to runaway mode.

Started the way of carrying explosives to kill insiders.

This also makes Villanudova miserable, after all, he is still not as strong as Westbrook.

But the good thing is that Jokic and Yi Jianlian on the inside are enough to fight.

Therefore, Westbrook's scoring method did not get very good results.

But during the game, Chen Tian discovered a problem, that is, Reggie and Westbrook didn't even pass a ball to each other when they were on the same field.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian knew that the grievances between the two still hadn't been resolved in any way.

Afterwards, Chen Tian seized this opportunity and whispered something to Kobe.

After Kobe nodded, he also started the trash talk mode with the opposing Reggie.

Finally, during a timeout in the fourth quarter, the Thunder's bench quarreled again.

The two parties in the quarrel are Reggie and Westbrook.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian also gave Kobe a thumbs up.

In the end, the Lakers completed a double kill against the Thunder under the circumstances of the Thunder's internal strife.

In the first game in March, the Lakers ushered in a good start.
