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

When Popovich heard this sentence, he knew that the Lakers were determined to shoot to the end.

Popovich knew he needed to make some changes, too.

Otherwise, let them play the outside touch, and the Spurs will be in danger.

Popovich also made Anderson and Zhou Qi ready to play, replacing Adelaide and Dajia.

When these two play, they can expand the Spurs' defense no matter what.

Sure enough, as Popovich guessed, Yi Jianlian scored a three-pointer from the corner this time.

This ball blew the clarion call for the Lakers' counterattack.

After the Spurs attacked, Chen Tian blocked Parker's pass.

The Lakers immediately began to fight back.

The Spurs retreated in a timely manner, but their defensive focus was still on Chen Tian's side.

This time Chen Tian was very happy.

It's this effect.

Chen Tian saw Matthew on one side, and immediately passed the ball to Matthew.

Matthew got the ball from outside the three-point line, without any hesitation, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Immediately, the goal made all the fans stand up.

The ball was also very competitive and rolled into the net.

Immediately the goal was scored, and Matthew shouted excitedly.

Seeing the goal scored, Popovich quickly called a timeout.

The morale of the Lakers is completely up.

Returning to the bench this time, the Lakers also smiled.

Monty is also cheering for everyone.

"That's right, that's it. Let's turn the score around in one go."

At this time, the morale of the Lakers has completely recovered.

After the timeout ended, the real match between the two teams officially began.

In the following time, the offense of the two teams also showed a fierce stage.

The Lakers can't crack the Spurs' conduction tactics.

And the Lakers are outside shooting.

With continuous shooting, Matthew and others also found the touch.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Lakers also had a wave of three-pointers.

Even Chen Tian scored two three-pointers.

Immediately the score was caught up by the Lakers.

At this time, Leonard on the Spurs side stepped forward.

Continuously used screens to run back, received passes and made mid-range shots.

It can be regarded as helping the Spurs to stop the bleeding.

But at this time, Chen Tian will not sit still.

Chen Tian rushed to the inside to score points.

The scoring of the two teams is also leading alternately.

At this time, a thrilling scene also appeared on the field.

Leonard received the pass, also dodged Chen Tian's defense, rushed to the inside and dunked with both hands.

Chen Tian followed closely behind Leonard.

This also led Leonard to choose a two-handed dunk.

But after dunking with both hands, Leonard didn't hold the basket firmly.

Suddenly the body lost its balance.

At this time, Chen Tian who was behind Leonard also hugged Leonard who was in the air.

Immediately, Popovich breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines.

Chen Tian quickly put Leonard down.

After Leonard landed, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that if it fell to the ground, it would definitely be injured.

Kenny couldn't help but say in the commentary booth.

"Chen Tian's image at this moment is really too tall."

"This is the stadium. There is not only winning and losing here, but also the side of love."

The episode is over, and the game must continue.

In the second half of the third quarter, it completely turned into a duel between Chen Tian and Leonard.

At the end of the third quarter, the two teams also scored 85:83 and the Spurs still led by two points.

But with this score, the suspense returned.

After returning from the fourth quarter, the Spurs also took Ade back.

But Dajia did not come back.

After all, when the big plus is added, it is completely a sieve.

So after Adelaide came back, the Spurs' inside offense was much simpler.

But the Lakers' three-pointers still remain hot.

Finally, with 6 minutes left, Chen Tian broke through and passed the ball to Brogdon.

Brogdon clicked and directly swayed Green's defense.

Suddenly Brogdon felt that the opportunity had come.

Take off directly and stick to Green's body.

The referee's whistle blew, the ball was missed, but three free throw opportunities were awarded.

Immediately, the ball excited the entire Staples Arena.

Brogdon drew three fouls.

Brogdon took a deep breath and got to the free throw line.

Scoring all three free throws, the Lakers turned the score around.

At this moment, Monty also looked at Chen Tian.

Immediately, Chen Tian knew what it meant.

The last moment has come, and it's time for him to reap the game.

Sure enough, Chen Tian began to take over the game afterwards.

Yi Jianlian and the others naturally understood the team's tactics.

So they also began to strengthen their defense.

Reserve your energy for Chen Tian's attack.

The Spurs are a little anxious here.

The next two attacks failed to score.

This gave the Lakers a chance.

Chen Tian made a layup and scored the ball.

Then Chen Tian broke through to the inside line and dunked with one hand to end the battle.

These two attacks allowed the Lakers to completely take the initiative on the court.

Popovich knew from the sidelines that the game was in danger.

Sure enough, all the offense of the Lakers was handed over to Chen Tian.

On the other hand, on the Spurs side, the more anxious the ball is, the more problematic it will be.

Even if Popovich called two timeouts in a row, it didn't stop the Spurs' decline.

Finally, with 2 minutes left in the game.

Popovich also replaced all the main players and announced that he had given up the game.

Popovich, who lost this game, was very unwilling.

Popovich was also very angry. After replacing the main force, he also yelled at everyone.

And finally the game is over.

The Lakers won the game 116:107.

陈天全场比赛贡献了43分、19篮板还有16助攻、3抢断和6盖帽的完美表现。

To win this match, Chen Tian can be said to have used all his skills.

After the game ended, Chen Tian also gave Leonard a hug to comfort him.

The Lakers did not show their full strength in this game.

But on the Spurs side, Chen Tian felt that Popovich still had a backup.

Although the Spurs did not have Duncan this season.

But their strength has not weakened, and even strengthened.

So Chen Tian knew that their duel was not over yet.

The landscape of the West changes every year.

But certainly nothing has changed in the past two years.

In addition to the Lakers and Warriors, that is the Spurs and Rockets.

The rest of the teams are all accompanying the runners.

Even if the Clippers now have Irving, they still can't beat these four teams.

So the pattern of the four-picture hegemony is the pattern of the Western Conference this season.

So when it comes to the playoffs, the competition between the four teams will be very fierce.
