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

At this moment, many fans in the Staples Arena were in tears.

Many of them are old fans of the Lakers.

They witnessed Kobe from a boy to a champion player holding three consecutive championships.

Then to force the Lakers, then the MVP for two consecutive championships, and then the injured Kobe.

And now the new king Chen Tian is ushering in.

In this game, they seemed to be dreaming back to the seventh game of the finals of the 09-10 season.

That game was also at the Staples Center.

It was also the last yellow-green battle at the Staples Center.

After that, the Lakers will go to the new arena.

And it is too difficult for the Celtics in the East to enter the Finals.

So that was the last one.

In that game, the two teams were exactly like they are now.

The attention of ten people on the field is all on defense.

At the end of the game, even Kobe, the iron man, was already gnashing his teeth from exhaustion.

And for the Lakers at this time, they completely played the defensive attitude of the year.

You must know that in the Western Conference Finals that year, the two teams played a 23:14 in the first quarter.

The two teams only played 79:83 in the whole game. One can imagine what the defense was like back then.

Seeing the current defense of the Lakers, these old fans all spontaneously shouted that slogan.

"Lakers defend, Lakers defend..."

This slogan gradually infected the whole audience.

Instantly everyone shouted.

Kobe and Ci Shiping, who were sitting off the court, heard this slogan, and they seemed to have returned to that game in an instant.

In that game, one played 45 minutes and the other played 46 minutes.

It can be said that the two completely supported the outside line of the entire Lakers at that time.

And now it's different.

In this game, the Lakers proved their defense to the world.

In this game, everyone in the Lakers is defending.

Especially when Chen Tian chose to rush inside to block shots.

It can be seen that the rest of the Lakers are helping Chen Tian to defend the opponent.

Throughout the second quarter, the Warriors were overwhelmed by the Lakers' defense.

Especially on Curry's side, this guy even missed four shots in the second quarter.

The entire Warriors only scored one three-pointer in the second quarter.

Veteran Ray Allen scored.

Because of this kind of game, he is too familiar with it.

Soon the second quarter was over.

The score of the two teams was 50:35.

Both teams scored in the second quarter, all in the teens.

At the end of halftime, when the Lakers walked towards the player channel.

Fans on both sides were shouting their names excitedly.

Everyone who returned to the locker room shouted excitedly.

For the first time, they felt the passion that the defense would have.

Especially for people like Anthony who didn't like defense before, they seem to fall in love with defense at this moment.

The eternal truth of the NBA is that defense wins championships.

Regardless of the previous champions, their defensive efficiency in the playoffs is definitely the best.

Seeing the excitement of these children, Monty smiled unconsciously.

Kaleman found the staff and asked him to prepare more energy drinks.

If the defense is still like this in the second half, these drinks will have a big effect.

The staff was also unambiguous, and hurried to prepare.

And Chen Tian and others in the locker room also chatted about how to defend in the second half.

Kobe on one side just smiled and looked at everyone.

Soon the second half of the game began.

After the two teams came back, the Warriors still had five small lineups.

It's just that there are not many people they can replace.

Back in the second half, the Lakers also played a small lineup of five.

It's not that Kaleman wants to play like this, but Monty thinks that the center will suffer a disadvantage against Wu Xiao.

After all, they still have a lot of games to play.

Kaleman thought for a while and nodded, so the Lakers also arranged five small lineups.

Not surprisingly, Jokic and other centers will not play in the second half.

As a result, no one expected that the Lakers had five small lineups, and the defense was even more crazy.

This time, the five players on the court could keep up with each other.

Defensive efficiency is higher.

This surprised Kaleman too.

Especially when the camera gave Kaleman a shot.

Kaleman froze on the sidelines.

It was Monty who walked over and pulled Kaleman back.

Monty also told Kaleman.

"Don't be so surprised, this is the NBA now, it doesn't work in the international arena, but it works so well in the NBA."

Hearing this, Kaleman also nodded.

And the game was fierce.

The Lakers are still defending, then counterattacked, and scored the ball with a layup.

The Warriors are looking for opportunities from the outside, and then throw the ball.

No one knows whether to enter or not.

But Cole looked ugly.

Because Cole could see that the Lakers didn't have any physical exhaustion.

Cole also knew that this game was coming to an end.

Sure enough, Chen Tian received the pass again, and then scored with a backhand layup.

Immediately, the score on the field was stretched to [-] points.

Cole quickly also called a timeout.

Then start to instill a little chicken soup in everyone, otherwise there is really no hope for this game.

Pause back, this chicken soup is still very useful.

The Warriors are also catching up.

The defense of the two teams also gradually increased.

When Anthony and Green grabbed a rebound inside, both of them raised their elbows directly.

In the end, neither of the two grabbed a rebound, and Curry picked it up and scored.

But Green and Anthony got involved.

The two also played real fire, shaking their fists directly under the basket.

Suddenly the whole field was in chaos.

Originally, this game was suppressed enough by the Lakers.

Green was also very angry at this time.

But where is Anthony's opponent?

Anthony came out of a serious American gangster.

As you can imagine, Green missed Anthony with both punches.

On the contrary, it was Anthony who punched Green in the face directly.

Green's nose was directly bleeding.

The people on the court also knew the strength of this black boss.

Fortunately, it was Chen Tian who pulled Anthony away in time.

And Green knelt directly on the ground.

The three referees also blew their whistles.

Then there is no need to watch the video, it is directly that Green and Anthony are all sent off.

Even so, when Anthony played, the fans in the audience gave him applause.

At this moment, Anthony was very satisfied.

And the game on the field, as this happened.

The warrior is also coming, the wrath of the tyrant.
