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

Although today is the first day of the new year, the Lakers still have a game tonight.

In the evening, the Lakers will face the challenge of the Raptors at home.

This game is also a big challenge for the Lakers.

After all, the Lakers can only rotate with eight people now.

After every game, everyone is exhausted.

In addition, Monty is still recovering from his injuries, so everyone in the Lakers wants to bully them now.

This game is because it is a tough battle.

So Kaleman also got all the main players back.

Eight people rotate.

Chen Tian, ​​Tucker, Matthew, Jokic, JR, McGee, Brewer and Harrell.

It also brought back all the main forces.

After all, the Raptors are not a team like the Mavericks.

It is still very difficult to rely on Chen Tian alone.

At night, the entire Lakers team is also in the locker room.

Even if Anthony and others are suspended, they will watch the game with the team.

This is also the rule set by Chen Tian.

If it's an away game, then there's no need to go.

I can't play, why bother running so far to watch the game.

But today, Yi Jianlian kept looking at Chen Tian with resentful eyes.

It was shown to Chen Tian, ​​but he did not dare to look at Yi Jianlian.

Chen Tian naturally knew what Yi Jianlian's eyes meant.

After all, both of them are from the Central Plains, and they both know the meaning of New Year's Day.

Yi Jianlian definitely wants to spend the holidays at home with his wife.

But Yi Jianlian was fine with that.

Matthew also looked at Chen Tian reluctantly.

This immediately made Chen Tian angry.

If Yi Jianlian was unwilling, Chen Tian could still understand.

What would you Matthew not want.

Immediately, Chen Tian also shouted at Matthew.

"What kind of eyes do you guys have? You also celebrate New Year's Day."

Matthew nodded when he heard Chen Tian's words.

"Yes, now I also celebrate the festivals in the Central Plains."

When Chen Tian heard this sentence, he was a little stunned.

Because this sentence was actually spoken in Chinese.

And it was sneaky.

Chen Tian suddenly thought that Matthew has fallen in love with the Central Plains culture since he joined the Central Plains.

This time, Chen Tian was also speechless.

"Don't look at me like that, it's not my decision to play you."

Chen Tian also said with a guilty conscience.

After all, it's just the regular season, so there's no need to take it so seriously.

If it is against the Warriors or Cavaliers.

Needless to say, the whole team will play.

But against a team like the Raptors, it doesn't matter if you play or not.

After all, when it comes to the playoffs, such a team can't make it to the finals.

So for the Lakers, the focus of the regular season is the Cavaliers, Warriors, Rockets and Spurs.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

In this game, Kaleman also formed a different lineup.

The starting lineup of Matthew, JR, Chen Tian, ​​Tucker and Jokic.

It's like the starting lineup for the Lakers' first season.

Tucker also returned to the power forward position again.

This lineup is also very aimed at the Raptors.

Because the Raptors have a rising star this season.

That's Pascal Siakam.

This guy is really good at power forward.

Although the score is not high, but the talent has been reflected.

So what Kaleman meant was to let Tucker limit Siakam.

After all, Tucker has a lot of experience in defending this kind of power forward who can shoot outside.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

The Raptors are still playing with all the main players.

After the game started, the Raptors got the first wave of offensive possessions.

DeRozan also leaned back and hit JR with a ball.

Immediately JR was a little reluctant.

A one-handed dunk came on the backhand, and he returned the favor.

After that, Lowry was not to be outdone, and made a strong three-pointer.

But then Chen Tian began to show his power.

First he broke through for a layup, and in the case of double defense, he scored 2+1.

Afterwards, Chen Tian took advantage of Carol's distraction and directly scored a three-pointer.

In an instant, the score was also opened.

But at this time, the Raptors' insider Varan began to exert his strength.

Grabbed offensive rebounds in the interior continuously, and then scored the ball.

In this situation, Chen Tian really didn't blame Jokic.

These few attacks are also strange, the ball can't be scored, basically it flies to Varan's side.

So it's normal that Jokic didn't grab it.

Varan is in the Raptors, basically the first quarter to see.

In the following time, Varan was a pure rebounding center.

To say that Varan's inside ability is really good.

But who made the Raptors always focus on DeRozan and Lowry.

Sure enough, it was just as Chen Tian expected.

Over time, the Raptors' offense gradually began to develop outward.

More and more outside shots.

Varan also had no chance to catch the ball.

On the Lakers side, Jokic began to connect teams continuously.

Chen Tian and JR went crazy.

Receive the pass in a row and score the ball.

After Harrell came up, Jokic was also able to cooperate with him in the internal pass.

I have to say that Harrell's finishing ability is really strong.

But this guy's defense is indeed unrecognizable.

Fortunately, the attack was good, so Kaleman's face was not so ugly.

But Chen Tian knew that the time for Harrell to leave the Lakers was getting closer.

After all, the core idea of ​​the Lakers now is defense.

Even non-defensive players like Anthony have practiced well.

Not to mention you Harrell.

Although the Lakers have an eight-man rotation, they are on par with the Raptors.

Both teams are very good on offense, but neither team is very good on defense.

But after the start of the third quarter, Chen Tian let out a roar.

The Lakers' defense immediately began to strengthen.

Siakam was firmly restricted by Tucker throughout the game.

That is to say, when he grabs the offensive rebound, he can make a tip-up and score a goal or two.

The Lakers' defense began to strengthen, and Chen Tian also went to mark DeRozan.

Immediately, DeRozan's three axes were useless in front of Chen Tian.

He leaned back and was slapped down by Chen Tian.

A breakthrough layup was cut off by Chen Tian.

Chen Tian couldn't defend against the three-point shot.

But the ball didn't score either.

He failed to score in three full offenses, and DeRozan's hand suddenly became cold.

DeRozan can't do it here.

The Raptors' offense has also come to a standstill.

Fortunately, there is another Lowry.

But one Lowry can't change the trend of the game.

Chen Tian's continuous offensive and scoring hit the Raptors' morale even more.

Finally, everyone knew that as long as Chen Tian was in the Lakers, they would always be a strong team.

Finally the game is over.

The Lakers won the Raptors 123:114.
