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

The Nuggets have played very well this season.

The rise of Nurkic and Murray gave the Nuggets hope.

Although the NBA is in groups now.

But the two teams that really hold together are the Warriors and the Cavaliers.

Everyone knows that as long as such a team does not succeed for a year, it will basically be disbanded.

Therefore, the combination of the team with two people as the core is the key to the team's rise.

It's like the Lakers, although it seems to be the Big Three.

But last season, the team was dominated by Chen Tian and Anthony.

But this season, the team is dominated by Chen Tian and Jokic.

And Anthony is more like a best helper around the two.

The Lakers look like a very strong team.

But the team also has a lot of problems.

There are not many players with good offensive ability on the team.

Besides Chen Tian and the others, that is JR.

The rest of Matthew and others are basically defensive players.

They basically don't have the ability to attack with the ball.

So for the Lakers, Chen Tian and Jokic must have one who can play.

This is a guarantee for the Lakers.

Fortunately, Chen Tian's ability is outstanding, so the team doesn't need to prepare so many offensive players.

After all, for a player like Chen Tian, ​​the more people on the team attack, the more he will be restricted.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets is about to start.

Because many people take turns on the Lakers side, there has been a big change in the starting lineup.

Brogdon, Enwaba, Chen Tian, ​​Gibson and Jokic started five players.

And the Nuggets side.

Point guard: Jameer Milson.

Score: Will Barton.

Small forward: Gary Harris.

Power forward: Danilo Gallinari.

Center: Jusuf Nurkic.

Murray was also injured after the All-Star Game.

The rest of the season will also be reimbursed.

But during this period of time, Barton played quite well when Murray was injured.

Now the Nuggets are also competing for victory in every game.

He has only two games left with the eighth Trail Blazers.

So the Nuggets still have a chance to enter the playoffs.

Jokic and Nurkic jumped the ball in the middle circle.

In the end it turned out to be Jokic who won the ball.

The Lakers got the first offense of the game.

After Brogdon got the ball, he also gave the ball directly to Jokic.

That's what's happening with the Lakers now.

Jokic takes the ball from the top of the arc outside the three-point line.

After Chen Tian threw off the defense, he rushed out and handed Jokic a hand.

Then Chen Tian rushed directly to the basket with the ball, facing Nurkic's defense.

Pressing down on the opponent, he dunked the ball in with one hand.

The goal was scored, and the Lakers' bench cheered excitedly.

No one expected that Chen Tian would make such an explosive attack on the first goal.

After that, the Nuggets attacked, under continuous passing.

In the end, Gallinari found the opportunity and scored a three-pointer.

When Chen Tian saw the Nuggets' offense, he knew they had found a way to win.

Their offense is also very orderly.

Not too many singles.

in later time.

Jokic and Chen Tian cooperated perfectly, and the rest of the Lakers also felt good.

First, Chen Tian received the pass and hit the inside again to succeed.

After that, Chen Tian and Jokic cooperated again.

But the ball was passed to the perimeter.

Brogdon got the ball and scored a three-pointer directly.

Then Chen Tian also intercepted Harris' pass on the defensive end.

Chen Tian saw that Enwaba had rushed to the front court.

Just passed the ball directly.

Enwaba took the ball and took off directly to dunk with both hands.

In the opening game, the Lakers went directly to the Nuggets with a 10:0 shock wave.

Nuggets coach Malone also quickly called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the Nuggets' offense also improved a bit.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers temporarily led the Nuggets 35:23.

It can be seen that the Lakers completely suppressed the Nuggets in the first quarter.

But the game came back in the second quarter.

The Lakers replaced Calderon and Thomas Robinson and others.

These are also the two players the Lakers signed after the All-Star Game.

After all, after the All-Star Game, many people will be rested in rotation, so the team must have enough personnel.

So they signed Calderon.

The Nuggets also took advantage of Chen Tian's off-court rest to start chasing points.

At this time, the price of the Lakers resting multiple people will come out.

But Monty didn't panic at all.

Because he got the news not long ago that the Warriors also lost tonight.

Therefore, no one can shake the Lakers' No. [-] position in the Western Conference.

Whether a game is lost or not is not important to Monty.

But for the next game, Monty still has a lot of ideas.

Because in the next game, the Lakers' opponent is the Rockets.

For Monty, a team like the Nuggets is still cannon fodder even if they make it to the playoffs.

It doesn't matter if you can win or not.

Because in the playoffs, facing such a team, it was directly crushed.

But the Rockets are different.

You must know that this season, the top four teams in the Western Conference all have a chance to win the championship.

So those three teams must not lose.

On the court, although the Nuggets included a lot of the score.

But Calderon and the others are not vegetarians either.

In particular, Calderon has rich experience, which has kept the Nuggets from overtaking the score.

After that, Chen Tian and other main players returned to the field.

The Nuggets couldn't stop Chen Tian's attack, and the score was pulled away again.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers were already far ahead.

Chen Tian scored 28 points in the first half of the game.

Jokic also had 13 assists in the half game.

It also broke his personal halftime assist record.

Came back in the second half of the game.

Jokic and Nurkic also started to attack in the interior.

First, Jokic swayed Nurkic away and easily put the ball in.

Conversely, Nurkic also played back and scored the ball with a hook.

Seeing the duel between two European centers, the touch is really too delicate.

The duel between the two also plunged the game into a tug-of-war.

Naturally, it doesn't matter to the Lakers.

After all, they lead the score.

But the Nuggets can't do it, they can't afford to lose now.

So Malone was also shouting from the sidelines.

"Outside attack, strengthen outside attack!!!"

Finally, the players on the court also realized this, and gradually began to strengthen the offense from the outside.

But at this time Jokic has completely felt it.

It's really ups and downs in the paint.

Nurkic is also completely unable to guard Jokic.

The entire third quarter became a wonderful time for Jokic alone.

At the end of the three quarters, the point difference is still in double digits.

The confidence of the Nuggets at this time was also shaken.

After the game came back in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers directly launched a wave of offense and took the game away.

Malone reluctantly withdrew all the main players.

Announced abandonment of the game.

At the end of the game, the Lakers beat the Nuggets 123:101.
