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

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game without any surprises.

After the match, Chen Tian also hugged Liu Xiaoyu.

"Boy, you played well, keep working hard, I believe the head coach of the Jazz will definitely see your performance."

Liu Xiaoyu nodded when she heard Chen Tian's words.

What Chen Tian said to him now is the imperial decree.

Especially after playing in the NBA for a period of time, Liu Xiaoyu understands the difficulties of Yao Ming, Chen Tian and others in the NBA.

In fact, Chen Tian is okay to say.

After all, Chen Tian grew up in Los Angeles, and he is very clear about the culture here.

But Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others are different.

Emotional intelligence is also a very critical thing for Central Plains players to continue to play in the NBA.

Let's just look at the few people from Zhongyuan who have made it to the NBA. Apart from Yao Ming, there is no one who has a foothold.

It's not a question of strength, it's all about character.

Including Yi Jianlian, if Chen Tian hadn't been with the Lakers, it would have been difficult for Yi Jianlian to stay.

But Yi Jianlian lived up to Chen Tian's expectations.

Now that Yi Jianlian is with the Lakers, he even looks a bit like the leader of the locker room.

I have to say that I am close to Zhu Zhechi, this guy has not learned anything from Ci Shiping.

After defeating the Jazz, the Lakers' next opponent is the Rockets.

This is also the team that the Lakers lost at the beginning of the season.

In that match, Chen Tian was also suspended for one match.

So in this scene against the Rockets, Chen Tian has to find this place no matter what.

After a day off, the entire Lakers team also arrived in Houston.

The strength of the Rockets this season can be said not to decline but to increase.

Everyone originally thought that after the Rockets lost Howard, their strength would drop a lot.

But now the Rockets can say that they have given everyone a mouth.

Under the leadership of Harden and Bosh, the Rockets now rank third in the West.

A little stronger than the Spurs.

Especially for the Rockets' bench lineup, one Lu Wei is enough, and now there is another Gordon.

To say that the Rockets have played a big role in winning the game this season.

These two brothers are completely bench gangsters.

The three-pointers of the two are even more accurate than the other.

So what Monty has to be careful about against the Rockets is the Rockets' three-point group.

Harden, Gordon, Lu Wei and Bosh are all at the level of the three-point contest.

So before the start of the game, Monty also repeatedly warned against the opponent's three-pointer.

No one expected that the biggest decision the Rockets made during the offseason was to fire McHale.

It should not be said that he was fired, it should be said that McHale resigned voluntarily.

Because McHale felt that his upper limit had reached here.

Howard did not renew his contract, which made McHale no longer mean to coach the Rockets.

The Rockets won the old coach D'Antoni during the offseason.

No one expected that the Rockets immediately changed their style when the coach arrived.

Directly from the basketball team to the three-point team.

This season, the Rockets won games by averaging 16.5 points per game.

This score leads the entire league.

Especially putting Harden on the point guard completely liberated Harden.

So this game is also a tough battle for the Lakers.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

For the Rockets, Beverly, Harden, Trevor Ariza, Bosh and Capela are the starters.

The Lakers are the starting lineup of Matthew, Tucker, Chen Tian, ​​Anthony and Jokic.

With Capela jumping the ball, the game officially began.

Beverly gave the ball to Harden as soon as he got the ball.

Harden immediately called Capela for a pick-and-roll with the ball.

Then Harden passed Tucker who was defending him, and rushed directly to the inside.

Just when Chen Tian was about to return to defense, Harden actually looked at Chen Tian.

This sudden glance stopped Chen Tian from moving forward.

Harden finally made an easy layup and scored the ball.

Because Chen Tian is defending Bosh, if Harden passes the ball to Bosh.

That Bosh was an open three-pointer, so Chen Tian didn't choose to return the ball.

To talk about this game, Tucker is the one with the most pressure.

After all, Harden will complete the final transformation from this season.

Be a true hucky stone.

The Lakers were attacking, and Chen Tian came over with the ball and directly chose to hit Ariza with his back.

This made Beverly rush over to help defend.

But Chen Tian suddenly turned around at this time, and then passed the ball alone.

Directly passed Ariza and Beverly.

Then Chen Tian went straight to the inside, and when he flew up, Capela also jumped up to defend.

But Chen Tian pressed Capela forcefully, and then ruthlessly dunked the ball in with one hand.

After landing, Chen Tian raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.

This ball also quieted down the Toyota Center.

Harden looked at the back of Chen Tian's defense, and he also thought about it.

In the following time, the offenses of the two teams showed completely different tactics.

The Rockets are outside shooting.

On the Lakers side, Chen Tian and Jokic are the main players.

Looking at the rocket's shotgun attack, Chen Tian couldn't help thinking that the magic ball theory had really come out.

It has to be said that the Rockets' offense is already a nuisance for the Lakers.

This is because Lu Wei and Gordon didn't play.

If these two play again, it will be endless.

You must know that what Lu Wei is best at is shooting unreasonable shots.

But fortunately, under the attack of Chen Tian and Anthony on the Lakers side, the two teams played evenly.

Soon after halfway through the first quarter, the two teams also came on the bench.

Gordon and Lu Wei came up, and the Lakers also brought up Yi Jianlian and Brogdon.

Good guy, this time Lu Wei made an unreasonable three-pointer.

This goal made Chen Tian's brain buzz.

But on the other hand, Chen Tian broke through and saw Brogdon who was open, and immediately passed the ball over.

Brogdon made a 45-degree angle and made a three-pointer.

The ball was scored steadily, and the Lakers bench was also very excited when this goal was scored.

At this time, Anthony stood up.

First, Chen Tian made a steal and passed it to Anthony for a one-handed dunk.

After Anthony made another three threats, he made a three-pointer.

Then after Anthony feinted again, he rushed inside and scored 2+1.

After a while, Anthony's outburst opened the score.

This made Chen Tian also smile.

Then at the end of the first quarter.

Gordon also scored a three-pointer.

But at the buzzer, Chen Tian also leaned back and made a mid-range shot.

After the first quarter, the Lakers lead the Rockets 43:37.
