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

At the end of the first quarter, Chen Tian returned to the bench feeling puzzled.

The Mavericks are also a traditional strong team in the West.

Why is he so lonely now that he is still counting on Nowitzki.

It can only be said that the Mavericks are used to relying on Nowitzki.

Not only the players, but even the head coach and even the owner Cuban think this way.

So let this team is still counting on Nowitzki.

Look at the Spurs who are also in Texas. Popovich immediately found Leonard after Duncan got old.

Now that Duncan has retired, the Spurs are still the top four teams in the Western Conference.

Kaleman is still very satisfied that the team can wake up in time.

But Kaleman was not very satisfied with the slow start.

Everyone is used to Kaleman like this.

Because Kaleman is such a coach.

Defensive coaches are generally a bit of a perfectionist.

Soon the second quarter began.

When the second quarter started, Kaleman did not let Chen Tian play.

After all, even Chen Tian couldn't stand it for a long time.

So in this game, Kaleman won't blame anyone if he loses.

It's just that it can't be said.

After the two teams came back, the Mavericks also took advantage of Chen Tian's absence.

The continuous chasing points began.

But the Lakers are not vegetarian anymore.

With Jokic here, the organization of the team is still very smooth.

Coupled with the current inside line of the Mavericks, no one can limit Jokic.

So under the leadership of Jokic, although some points were recovered by the Mavericks.

But the point difference remained at about 7 points.

After halfway through the second quarter, Chen Tian was also replaced.

This period of rest is simply too important.

After Chen Tian came on stage, that was the arrival of the Great Demon King.

After Chen Tian came up, he scored with a two-hand punch.

After that, he hit Barnes with his back again, turned around and scored a shot.

Then blocked Barnes' layup, received a pass and flew up with a tomahawk dunk.

Immediately, Chen Tian's return made it easier for the Lakers to play.

At halftime, the Lakers led the Mavericks by 67 points 55:12.

At halftime, the Lakers locker room was also full of masseuses.

Giving everyone a massage.

After all, the Lakers can only play with eight players, so a certain amount of massage is needed at halftime.

Come back soon for the second half.

Kaleman put JR on the starting lineup, the meaning is very simple, that is, he wants to end the battle early.

After the start of the third quarter, Chen Tian passed the ball to JR.

This guy is also tough enough.

Facing Matthews' defense to the face, he was able to score the ball.

At this moment, Chen Tian also convinced this guy.

And JR's crazy three-pointer also ignited the atmosphere of the fans.

At this time, JR's nerve knife attribute has been activated.

Immediately after the game, JR began to take over the Lakers' offense.

At this moment, even Chen Tian couldn't cover JR's light.

Kaleman saw this scene from the sidelines, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With JR playing, this game is really easy to play.

But after halfway through the third quarter, JR's touch began to decline.

After missing two consecutive three-pointers, Chen Tian knew that this guy's strength was over.

Chen Tian immediately took over the baton and began to attack the Mavericks inside.

At the end of the third quarter, Powell was beaten to six fouls by Chen Tian and left the field.

After the third quarter, the Lakers have already led by 20 points.

In the fourth quarter, Chen Tian did not appear again.

The court was handed over to Jokic to lead.

Chen Tian watched Jokic's performance off the court, and he had to say that this guy's growth rate was too fast.

Now let Jokic lead the team alone, there is no problem at all.

At this time, Johnson didn't know when he appeared behind Chen Tian.

Johnson touched Chen Tian, ​​and Chen Tian turned to look at Johnson.

Johnson also said.

"What kind of contract do you think is better for Jokic during the offseason?"

Chen Tian didn't expect Johnson to ask this question.

"Maximum salary, you don't think about other offers, do you?"

Chen Tian also looked at Johnson in puzzlement.

Johnson shook his head.

"That's not true. After all, the boss has already said that as long as he can win the championship, it doesn't matter how much he spends."

When Chen Tian heard this, he couldn't help but think of a word, this prodigal bitch.

"I just think it's really worthwhile to give Jokic a maximum salary."

"Don't worry, this guy deserves the maximum salary."

"Anthony can still play for a few more years, but even though he is getting older, his threat on the court is getting smaller and smaller."

"So after that the Lakers depended on the two of us."

Johnson nodded when he heard Chen Tian's words.

"You are right, then I will contact Jokic's management team as soon as possible."

In fact, Chen Tian knew that during the offseason, Jokic should be given a maximum salary contract.

But because of him, Jokic implemented the team's option.

This is also Jokic's trust in Chen Tian.

So how could Chen Tian not repay him.

After all, there is no one who plays in the NBA not for money.

Like Paul, even if he doesn't win the championship, it will cost a lot of money.

After all, there is only one Chen Tian.

If Chen Tian didn't have such a large family business.

Then how is it possible to implement the option during the offseason.

After all, a big family needs to be raised, and no one is a saint.

On the other side of the field, under the leadership of Jokic, although he has not played the Mavericks' starter.

But the point difference has not been narrowed much.

Finally the game is over.

The Lakers won the Mavericks 101:89.

During the season, Chen Tian also hugged Nowitzki.

For players like Nowitzki, Duncan and Kobe, Chen Tian has always admired them very much.

Especially Nowitzki, in a team like the Mavericks, he can still win a championship.

It can be said that this championship has established his historical status.

Not to mention that the power forward is the number one existence, but it must be the top three existence.

So the hug between the two after the game was also photographed by the media.

Because Chen Tian knew that Nowitzki would only play for another year at most.

After the Mavericks will usher in their second Dirk Nowitzki.

In this match, Chen Tian's playing time was shortened a lot.

This is what Lakers fans want to see.

Because everyone knows that with Chen Tian at least, that's the second round of the playoffs.

But how far the Lakers can go depends on the performance of others.

Now Jokic is getting better and better in the eyes of Los Angeles fans.

After winning the Mavericks, the Lakers also had two days of rest.

What's more, New Year's Day is coming soon.

The new year is coming soon.
