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

After playing the Bulls, the Lakers' November schedule is over.

But the schedule is still very tight.

After a day off, the Lakers still have two back-to-back games to play.

These two opponents are still very strong.

The Raptors will be a strong team in the East for several years.

But the Eastern Conference is still dominated by James.

So DeRozan and Lowry want to break through the Cavaliers, it is simply wishful thinking.

Not to mention the Grizzlies.

Don't look at this team that has been sixth and seventh in the Western Conference all year round.

But the other 29 teams in the NBA know it.

If you fight a grizzly, you will lose your skin if you don't die.

The Grizzlies' roster hasn't changed much over the years.

The combination of Canada, Randolph, Tony Allen and Conley.

This combination can really be called the NBA's No. [-] defensive team.

In terms of offense, these four people are not very good.

But if you want to talk about defense, these four people are simply a match made in heaven.

The Grizzlies have defended so well over the years, thanks to these four people.

The few of them completely supported the Grizzlies' inside and outside lines.

But the Lakers also have good news.

That is when against the Raptors, Anthony can usher in a comeback.

But playing time needs to be strictly controlled.

You must know that during the period of Anthony's injury, the Lakers' starting lineup has basically changed.

Except for Chen Tian and Tucker, anyone can start.

On this day of rest, the Lakers did not return to Los Angeles.

After all, the next two games were also back-to-back.

So the entire Lakers team came directly to Toronto.

Anthony also joined the team from Los Angeles.

Now the entire Lakers team is here except for JR.

The suspension for JR has long since ended.

But his own affairs were not over yet.

After Anthony reunited with the team, he also told Chen Tian.

"There is good news, that is, the other party doesn't want to procrastinate."

When Chen Tian heard Anthony's words, he naturally knew who he was talking about.

"This effect is what you want. During this period of time, you have had a lot of contact with JR."

Anthony rolled his eyes and Chen Tian said the same thing.

"Nonsense, he is my good friend, and I happen to be recovering from my injury, so of course I have to enlighten him."

"But the guy's mentality is still good."

"Especially the physical fitness is maintained quite well."

Hearing this, Chen Tian felt relieved.

After all, the team has been in the game, plus the manor.

How could Chen Tian have so much time to take care of JR?

Hearing Anthony's words, Chen Tian also nodded.

"That's good, after all, he is a key player for the Lakers."

The Lakers took a day off and played against the Raptors on the second night.

The Raptors didn't make any big moves this offseason.

Still maintain the lineup system of last season.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

Varan easily jumped the ball, and the Raptors got the first wave of the game.

The Raptors came up to attack for the first time, and the ball was handed over to DeRozan.

DeRozan hit Tucker with his back, and after a few consecutive hits, he turned around and leaned back to score.

This made Tucker helplessly clap his hands.

You must know that DeRozan is not Butler in the last game.

Butler's current offensive methods are simply unwatchable.

Basically, there are not too many skills, it is completely dependent on the feel and physical quality.

But DeRozan is different.

This guy now has the title of Kobe's successor.

Especially that perfect mid-range shot, which is so similar to Kobe.

DeRozan is now technically perfect.

It's just that this guy's mentality is really problematic.

Otherwise, you can't be so afraid of James.

So if Tucker wants to defend DeRozan, it is impossible to use the means to deal with Butler.

On the other hand, the Lakers attacked, and Chen Tian held the ball to face Carroll's defense.

After Chen Tian passed by easily, he made a ground pass to Jokic who was inside.

Jokic was also a shake, and scored the ball with a small hook.

Jokic's current technology is becoming more and more mature.

in later time.

The Raptors and Lakers can be said to be inseparable.

The Raptors fully played out the cooperation of the two guns.

Lowry scored a three-pointer.

Then he made a layup and scored the ball.

DeRozan also scored consecutive mid-range shots.

On the other hand, the Lakers.

Anthony didn't start the game.

So the team's offense still depends on Chen Tian.

Chen Tian assisted Jokic to score the ball inside.

Afterwards, Chen Tian made another layup by himself and scored 2+1.

Then he assisted Yi Jianlian to score in the mid-range shot.

The scores of the two teams are also leading alternately.

But the head coaches of the two teams looked different at this time.

There was no expression on Monty's face here.

On the contrary, it was Coach Casey, whose face became more and more ugly.

Because others couldn't see it, but he could see that the rhythm on the field was being taken away by Chen Tian.

At this time Monty began to move.

He replaced Anthony.

Although Anthony hasn't played a game for a long time.

But the name of the offensive kaleidoscope is not for nothing.

After Anthony came on the field, he cooperated tacitly with Chen Tian.

Chen Tian was also waiting for the moment when Anthony would play.

Coach Casey sat down on the chair with a gloomy face.

He knew that after Anthony came on the field, the trend of the game changed.

Sure enough, with Anthony, the Raptors can't stop the Lakers' offense.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers led by a big score of 69:52.

Anthony can be said to be in very good condition.

In the half game, Anthony scored five three-pointers alone.

Monty felt relieved when he saw that Anthony was in good condition.

After all, it is impossible for the team to rely on Chen Tian all the time.

To say that Chen Tian is definitely the lower limit of the Lakers.

Then Anthony, Jokic and others determine the upper limit of the Lakers.

So relying on Chen Tian alone, the Lakers will definitely not be able to go far.

Although Chen Tian is very strong, if he wants to win the championship, the performance of the whole team is the most critical.

The Lakers led by a big score at halftime, and the locker room was full of laughter.

After returning in the second half, the Raptors did not give up.

Under the leadership of Lowry, the Raptors also launched a wave of counterattacks.

This is the problem with the Raptors now, the team boss can't stand up at critical moments.

Every time it is Lowry who stands up and gathers the morale of the team.

Such a move, once or twice is okay, but too many times will greatly affect the unity of the team.

At critical moments, role players don't know who to listen to.

But Lowry's counterattack was still extinguished by the Lakers' three-point rain in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers had a wave of three-pointers, which completely made the game lose suspense.

In the end, the Lakers won the Raptors 113:91.
