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

Chapter 52 The Substitute's Surprise

Indeed, Barkley's words made Kenny and O'Neill start to think of their own ways.

Pause back.

Both the Lakers and Warriors made corresponding substitutions.

The Warriors allowed Curry and David Lee to rest first, and replaced Barbosa and Speights.

The defensive formation of Green and Iguodala is retained.

For the Lakers, Kobe, Villanudova and Jokic all took a rest.

Replaced Livingston, jr and Hawes.

After jr played, the Staples Center erupted into loud applause to welcome jr's arrival.

Jr also excitedly waved at the audience.

With the Lakers' offense, Chen Tian was still under the care of Green and Iguodala.

But Chen Tian found jr who ran out of the open space in the pincer attack.

Chen Tian passed the ball, Jr received the pass without hesitation, and directly shot a three-pointer.

The hand raised the knife and dropped it, simply and neatly.

The ball crashed into the net.

jr scored the first goal of his lakers career.

Seeing jr's goal on the spot made me even more excited.

Staples also fell into the cheers.

Chen Tian, ​​who returned to defense, also gave jr a high-five to celebrate.

Staples' enthusiasm also infected jr.

In the following time, jr completely entered the nerve knife mode, catching the ball and doing it, no one can stop it.

He scored two more three-pointers against Thompson in a row.

Not to mention the Staples audience, even Kobe sitting off the court and Chen Tian on the court were happy.

"It's really the right deal."

Chen Tian thought about it when he returned to defense.

But I didn't expect that jr's outbreak would successfully stimulate Thompson.

Thompson has also entered into his three-point rain mode.

After receiving a pass from Green, he raised his hand and shot, regardless of who was in front of him.

The ball also rolled into the net.

This time the two teams started a three-point confrontation mode.

To be precise, it is a duel between jr and Thompson.

Chen Tian was also willing to make this wedding dress, and he and Green started a hand-to-hand fight for rebounds in the paint.

Chen Tian, ​​Green, Speights, and Hawes started hugging and wrestling in the paint.

Jr and Thompson on the outside line started to confront each other.

This form was maintained until the end of the first quarter.

In the end, Thompson counted down an ultra-long three-pointer to make the victory.

At the end of the first quarter, with the last 2 minutes of jr and Thompson's confrontation.

The score also came to 32:30, and the Lakers still led by two points.

When jr returned to the bench, he also accepted the celebration from Kobe and others.

Monty clapped his hands at this time and said: "Very good, just now Jr's offense was very good, but your defense was a bit careless. Clay has so many fairy balls, and you didn't defend them. I don't want to catch up with that Come down and see."

When Chen Tian and others heard what the coach said, they all nodded. It is true that their defense was a little lax in the last moment.

"After a while, PJ and Chen, both of you, come down and take a rest. This game will be a protracted battle. Corey and Trevor, you two are ready to play."

"In the second quarter, I want you to play three-point tactics. Everyone should focus on the perimeter. The five of you are all capable of shooting. You should give JR and Spencer more chances."

Everyone nodded.

Back in the second quarter.

Everyone was surprised when they saw that Chen Tian didn't play.

Neither the audience nor the commentary seat expected that Coach Monty would let Chen Tian take a rest.

Cole on the Warriors side was also taken aback.

Because he was afraid that Chen Tian wouldn't rest, so Green and Iguodala didn't choose to rest.

This also disrupted his deployment.

"I didn't expect that Chen would take a rest. Ten games into the season, Chen's playing time is the league's first. Monty let such a big killer rest, it's a bit unbelievable."

Kenny said at this time.

In fact, Monty also wanted to see what the Lakers would be like without Chen, and even more wanted to see if jr would be on top in no time.

I didn't expect to break the Warriors' tactics at once, and it can be regarded as a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

Chen Tian didn't know about Monty's worry. If he knew, he would definitely say that you were really worried too much.

"If it was JR before, Chen Tian really wouldn't be sure, but after what happened yesterday, JR is too honest."

Sure enough, seeing Chen Tian resting, the tense nerves of Iguodala and Green relaxed.

This relaxation was a bad idea, and the defense suddenly became distracted.

Jr held the ball and passed Iguodala in one go, and when he entered the inside line, it was a one-handed tomahawk dunk.

The ball made Chen Tian stand up and celebrate instantly.

34: 30.

Cole saw that the expressions of the two disciples were not right and quickly adjusted the substitutions.

Curry missed a shot here.

Hawes gets the rebound and passes it to Livingston.

Curry also saw that something was wrong between the two, and quickly fouled Livingston, making Cole prepare for a substitution.

The two were replaced, and Barnes and David Lee were replaced.

As for the Lakers' possession, Livingston used the screen to throw off Curry and then entered the three-second zone.

David Lee came up to help defend at this time.

Livingston passed the ball directly to Ariza.

Ariza catches the ball and makes a layup.

36: 30.

The Lakers gained a slight lead.

Warriors attack.

After Curry came over with the ball, he found David Lee who wanted the ball inside.

David Lee catches the ball and hits Ariza with his back.

Ariza still had some difficulty defending David Lee, but at this time a hand stretched out.

Brewer came over to help defend and directly cut off the basketball in David Lee's hand.

Livingston quickly grabbed the ball in front of Curry and took it down.

Then he threw the ball directly, and saw that Brewer, who had just broken the basketball, had run to the front at some point.

After receiving the ball, he dunked with both hands.

The score also came to 38:30.

Cole couldn't sit still at this moment, and quickly called a timeout to stop the Lakers' rising momentum.

In the second quarter, the Lakers came up with these few offenses, which also caused Staples to fall into cheers.

Chen Tian, ​​Kobe and others also gave jr and the others a high-five to celebrate.

Monty was also very satisfied with the game just now.

So I don't plan to make any tactical adjustments, let them fight first, after all, there is still an eight-point lead.

Pause back.

The Warriors didn't make any substitutions, but it was obvious that everyone had serious expressions on their faces.

After Curry came over with the ball, he didn't pass it to anyone. Facing Livingston's defense, after adjusting the rhythm with continuous dribbles from beyond the three-point line.

Born directly to Livingston.

Livingston also quickly took a step back.

At this step, Curry seized the opportunity.

Curry took a step back, leaving Livingston behind.

A three-pointer is shot directly.

"Swipe."

The ball rolled into the net.

Chen Tian saw this scene off the court, and knew that this little cute god was going to show off his power.
