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

Monty was not surprised to see Chen Tian call a timeout.

Because he also saw that Del Nudova and Jokic were not in very good condition.

After returning to the bench, Monty did not make any changes.

And directly put Kobe and Jokic off the court to take a rest.

Replaced jr, Livingston and Tucker.

Monty also directly asked Chen Tian to defend Nowitzki.

Hearing Monty's arrangement, Chen Tian also froze for a moment.

It's not that Chen Tian never defended Nowitzki.

Before Yi Jianlian came, Chen Tian had defended Nowitzki.

As a result, Chen Tian was blown away by Nowitzki.

But now that Monty made this decision, Chen Tian could only nod his head.

After all, apart from Yi Jianlian, no one on the team could defend Nowitzki.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers' offense.

Chen Tian was still used to organize the team's offense.

But facing the Mavericks' defensive strategy, Chen Tian did not dare to be careless.

You must know that Rondo on the side is staring at the basketball in Chen Tian's hand.

Rondo's number of steals this season is the number one figure in the steal list.

Just now Chen Tian had a careless goal, but Rondo intercepted it.

So Chen Tian found Livingston with the ball and handed it to him.

Then Chen Tian started running without the ball.

Chen Tian's move gave the Lakers a chance.

Because all the defensive focus of the Mavericks is on Chen Tian's side.

At this time, Yi Jianlian wanted the ball inside, and Livingston immediately passed the ball.

After Yi Jianlian got the ball, he leaned back and threw the ball.

Chandler, who was defending Yi Jianlian, also struggled to block the shot.

But it was still a little short, and the ball still rolled into the basket.

Yi Jianlian scored this goal, which also made the fans cheer.

And Chen Tian didn't expect Brother Lian to play so well in the first game of the playoffs.

When returning to defense, Chen Tian and Yi Jianlian gave a high-five to celebrate.

With Yi Jianlian's goal, the Lakers also led by four points at 19:15.

But then Rondo once again assisted Ellis on the outside.

Ellis got the ball and shot a three-pointer directly, and the ball scored steadily.

The score was once again tightly bit by the Mavericks.

At this time, there is not much time left in the first quarter of the game.

Monty also replaced Yi Jianlian with Hawes.

The Mavericks also made some substitution adjustments.

But Chen Tian was not replaced.

As for the Mavericks, although they are a substitute lineup, they made a strange move.

That is to let Barea defend Chen Tian.

This move is also the Mavericks won the championship and defeated the Heat.

Barea's defense against James is a spectacle in the NBA.

But this tactic was really realized at that time.

But Mavericks wanted to use this tactic at this time to restrict Chen Tian again.

Chen Tian could only tell Carlisle that you were thinking of farting.

Sure enough, facing Barea's defense, Chen Tian made a direct move.

Aren't you just guarding my lower body?

Then I will beat you with speed.

He only saw Chen Tian turn around while hitting Barea on his back.

Although Barea is not slow, his height is still too short.

After Chen Tian turned around, he directly launched the steady mid-range shot skill.

From the start of the game until now, Chen Tian has never missed a mid-range shot.

Sure enough, in the face of Chen Tian's jump shot, all Barea could do was limit it.

But let him defend, that is absolutely impossible.

Here, Chen Tian easily scored the ball, and Carlisle knew it was impossible when he saw it.

Decisively made the players on the field change their defensive tactics.

But it was too late.

The Mavericks are in trouble offensively because they replaced the substitutes.

And Chen Tian was firing on all cylinders.

In the remaining 2 minutes of the first quarter.

It can be said that Chen Tian made consecutive shots and directly opened the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Mavericks by 29 points 20:9.

And Chen Tian contributed a full 17 points in the first quarter.

Compared with all the points scored by the Mavericks, it is only 3 points less.

This also let everyone know that Chen Tian's strength is still so outstanding.

And Barkley also said in the commentary booth.

"It seems that Chen's ability is beyond doubt."

Miller on the side also said.

"After the All-Star Game, Chen was more involved in organizing the team, so his scoring ability has also declined."

"But judging from this first quarter, Chen's scoring ability has indeed not changed at all, and it is still so good."

As for the Lakers, Chen Tian and others returned to the bench.

Chen Tian also looked at Kobe, and Kobe nodded at Chen Tian.

Seeing Kobe's action, Chen Tian felt relieved.

Because when Chen Tian led a group of substitutes, he saw Kobe chatting with Jokic on the bench.

In fact, this is what Monty meant when he replaced Kobe.

Seeing Kobe's actions now, Chen Tian also looked at Jokic and the two of them.

And the two of them also nodded fiercely at Chen Tian.

In the second quarter, Monty did not replace Chen Tian.

Instead, Del Nudova and Jokic were replaced.

As soon as the second quarter started, Jokic started to play.

After receiving a pass from the inside, the continuous inside footsteps swayed, and the ball was easily scored.

Chen Tian, ​​who was off the court, was also very happy to see this scene.

After Jokic completed a one-handed dunk, Chen Tian also stood up and applauded Jokic.

No one expected that in the second quarter of the game, the Lakers would be on the bench.

The Mavericks still haven't moved the score back.

Monty looked at the time at this time, and there were 5 minutes left in the second quarter.

Monty also waved his hand, and directly replaced Chen Tian and Kobe.

You must know that there are no two people during this time.

The Mavericks only recovered the score to 6 points.

This is still the case when Nowitzki and Rondo were replaced in advance.

But now that Chen Tian and the others are back, it's even more difficult for the Mavericks to fight.

Sure enough, Chen Tian, ​​who returned to the court, still maintained his fiery touch.

When Kobe and others saw Chen Tian like this, they directly gave the ball to Chen Tian and let Chen Tian continue to shoot.

Chen Tian also lived up to everyone's pass.

At this time, Chen Tian had become omnipotent, and it was difficult for anyone to defend him.

And this Aminu finally made a first start, but he was blown away by Chen Tian in halftime.

At the end of the final half of the game, the Lakers ended the half with 54:46.

And Chen Tian scored 29 points in halftime.

On the way back to the locker room.

The fans in the audience were also shouting Chen Tian's name.

In half the game, Chen Tian had already proved his strength.
