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

Chen Tian ignored the domestic teasing about him.

Instead, he picked up basketball and practiced.

the next day.

All the Lakers flew to Charlotte, ready to face the Hornets.

This is also the first game of the Lakers' next three consecutive away.

For this game, everyone in the Lakers has no pressure.

Because although the Hornets reached the playoffs in the Eastern Conference last season, the overall strength of this team is still much worse than the Lakers with Chen Tian.

But the reputation of this team is not small. After all, with the owner of Michael Jordan, the Hornets will never lack news.

As for Jordan, if you talk about a player, he is definitely a ceiling, but if you want to talk about being a boss, his vision of selecting people is really in contrast to his player days.

Landing.

Chen Tian and the others went directly to the hotel to rest.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially began.

The Hornets are an inside and outside combination headed by Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson.

The Lakers are still the regular starters, and Jokic has no chance to play tonight.

After all, when he played against the Warriors before, he made a move after the game, so he led the one-game suspension.

But in this game, Hawes showed off his power.

Because Jefferson's height is still a bit of a disadvantage, Hawes's game can be described as both inside and outside.

Chen Tian and Kobe were also happy to make a wedding dress for him.

In the first quarter, Chen Tian only scored five points.

Hawes and Jefferson can be regarded as exposing each other, after all, Jefferson's level is also a quasi-All-Star.

The first quarter ended and the score came to 27:19. The Lakers led by eight points and entered the second quarter.

Neither Chen Tian nor Kobe was in a hurry to play in the second quarter.

At this time, the situation changed suddenly.

The Hornets' substitute players headed by Maurice Williams and Lance Stevens hit a 10:0 spurt.

All of a sudden, the score was overtaken.

Now Monty couldn't sit still.

A timeout was called directly.

Chen Tian whispered next to Kobe: "Look, Monty is going to curse."

Sure enough, when the players on the field came back, Monty just scolded them.

Kobe didn't want to laugh at first, but when he thought of what Chen Tian said just now, he couldn't hold back.

This was also heard by Monty.

Monty's face turned black immediately, and he shouted: "Kobe, Chen, you two get out of here, if you can't win [-] points in this game, look at how I will train you, I don't want the next two games, and I won't let you go!" I want to train you."

As soon as these words came out, Kobe also took a hard look at Chen Tian.

And Chen Tian quickly hugged Kobe and walked towards the technical stage.

Chen Tian also saw Monty's murderous gaze, and immediately felt that he should leave this place of right and wrong immediately.

Kobe followed Chen Tian over, and also glanced at Chen Tian angrily.

Chen Tian waved his hands at this time and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here, so don't worry about everything."

Pause back.

The Hornets saw that Xiao Mo and his junior were playing well, so they didn't make any substitutions.

The Lakers only let Kobe and Chen Tian come back.

Chen Tian held the ball for halftime.

The junior also took the initiative to defend Chen Tian.

"Hey, you're Chen, I don't think much, you know I'm the one who defended LeBron."

Chen Tian didn't expect his junior brother to be so spineless.

Then he couldn't help but signal to pull away.

From Chen Tian's side, he slapped the younger brother on the back first, and after a push, the younger brother took a step back.

This step gave Chen Tian a chance.

Chen Tian turned around halfway, and Stevens was swayed by Chen Tian.

Even Kobe was a little confused when he saw Chen Tian's action.

Half turned.

The junior brother lost his position because of Chen Tian's half-turn.

Chen Tian also turned around and headed towards the basket.

Cody Zeller on the inside gave up on Hill and came to defend Chen Tian.

But Chen Tian didn't slow down, and rushed straight over.

Chen Tian jumped up violently, and Zeller jumped hard to block Chen Tian.

And Chen Tian's ability to stay in the air at this time was reflected.

Zeller's side already had a tendency to land, but Chen Tian was still in the air.

At this time, Chen Tian directly pressed Zeller's shoulder.

With a "bang", the ball was smashed in.

This ball reflects Chen Tian's talent, and also reflects Chen Tian's physical fitness.

From back kicks to half-turns, to staying in the air and then smashing the ball in, each of these steps showed Chen Tian's physical fitness all the time.

Chen Tian, ​​who returned to the defense, also mocked his junior brother passing by.

"Who gave you the courage, Liang Jingru?"

Stevens came back to his senses and looked at Chen Tian who had returned to defense, feeling a little helpless.

With this physical fitness, even James is not an opponent.

After the game, it became completely one-sided for the Lakers.

Kobe's mid-range shot, Chen Tian's breakthrough, and the striker's long-range three-pointer.

At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers have already led by 23 points.

The fourth quarter also became garbage time.

Gang Leader Qiao in the stands was also sitting there with his eyes closed to rest his mind. It would be better not to watch if he was making trouble.

The final score was fixed at 103:90. Although it didn't reach 20 points, after all, Chen Tian and other main players didn't play in the fourth quarter.

And in this game, Monty also discovered a bright spot, that is, Curry, this kid can be a three-pointer as long as he works hard.

After the game, Chen Tian and others left Charlotte.

After all, this is a three-way game, and they will also move to Memphis at this time.

There is only one day of rest in between.

And for the Memphis Grizzlies opponent.

Both Chen Tian and Kobe were a little worried.

The Grizzlies team is definitely the bottom of the league in terms of scoring efficiency, but in terms of defensive efficiency, the league, that is, the Spurs, can compete with him.

There is no absolute superstar in this team, Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol are the starters of this team.

There are no superstars, no absolute scorers, but with such a team, whoever plays in the league is uncomfortable.

There is a saying in the league that even if you win against the Grizzlies, you have to shed your skin.

Especially the inside line of the black and white bears, this is the shortcoming of the Lakers, so Chen Tian is also a headache in this game.

A short day off.

At nine o'clock the next night, the Lakers' away game against the Grizzlies officially started.

This game also let O'Neill and Barkley, the happy friends, serve as commentators.

O'Neal also got the starters of the two teams at this time.

"Okay, let's take a look at the starters of the two teams."

"For the Lakers, Matthew, Kobe, Chen, PJ, and Spencer."

"Grizzlies, Mike, Tony, Jeff, Zach, and Mark."

Barkley also said at this time: "This game is the time to really test the Lakers. The Lakers are the only undefeated team since the beginning of the season, but the Grizzlies are a famous defensive team, so this game It will definitely be a test for Chen."

Soon it's time for the game to start.

Hawes and Gasol Jr. walked to the middle circle to prepare for the jump ball.

Hawes jumped the ball this time with a bounce.

Kobe received the ball and passed it to Chen Tian.

The game officially begins.
