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

The two teams played overtime, one can imagine how intense this game was.

For Chen Tian, ​​this season's game was really unpleasant.

Offensively, it's okay because no one can guard him.

But on the defensive end, Chen Tian couldn't exert his strength no matter what.

No matter which team is on the opposite side, basically there will be a three-point shooter at the forward position.

Every time the opponent attacked, the pitcher would attract Chen Tian to the corner position.

away from the direction of the offensive end.

This made Chen Tian very uncomfortable.

If the opponent suddenly came in to defend Chen Tian, ​​he would miss his defender.

The opposite side passes the ball, that is a three-point shot.

And if Chen Tian doesn't help defend, the Lakers' defensive power will be greatly reduced.

Regardless of the current defense of the Lakers, it is the best in the league.

But Monty knows best in his heart that the Lakers' defense is not very solid.

Anthony and Jokic will focus most of their energy on offense.

The defense of the starting lineup mainly relied on Tucker and Chen Tian.

Tucker is someone who can defend from the one position to the five position.

Matthew mainly defends the opposing outside scoring strong point.

And Chen Tian is the defensive core of the entire team.

Now the core is pinned down, which makes it so difficult for the Lakers to win now.

It's okay to face a weak team, if you face a team like the Warriors.

Chen Tian couldn't exert his strength on the defensive end.

Monty knew what was going on, but he couldn't change the situation.

No way, Monty can only pin his hopes on other people.

Overtime for both teams begins.

The Warriors still let Iguodala contain Chen Tian on the offensive end.

In fact, Iguodala's three-pointer is not very accurate.

But Chen Tian still didn't dare to let him go.

After all, this guy is really not soft at critical moments.

The Warriors also replaced Green with Livingston.

It's all about strengthening the offensive end.

This made Chen Tian dare not relax even more.

As soon as the two teams came up in overtime, Curry scored a layup first.

Jokic also responded with an inside hook.

After that, Livingston hit back and scored.

Chen Tian also hit back, responding to Livingston.

The offense of the two teams in overtime was quite good.

But soon physical problems appeared.

First, Clay missed the shot.

After that, Curry even made a three-pointer.

Chen Tian took the opportunity to quickly open the score to a gap of four points.

This time is also a good time.

And the pain in Curry's wrist also made it difficult for him to persist in the game.

In the end, Cole replaced Curry.

With Curry, the Warriors' offense weakened a lot.

In the end, the Lakers also won the game with difficulty.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 117:112.

After the game, Chen Tian also hugged Curry.

Although the Warriors lost this game, they found a way to fight the Lakers.

"The next game, I will take it back!"

Chen Tian also laughed when he heard Curry's words.

"No, I must be the one who wins in the end!"

As soon as these words came out, both of them laughed.

The victory of this game brought the Lakers together again.

A team is like this, every season there will be old people leaving and new ones coming in.

As for this Lakers team, Chen Tian has always been in control.

After all, no matter whether it's up to the boss or down to the players, everyone knows that the owner of this team is only Chen Tian.

Therefore, Chen Tian has always hoped that this group of brothers who worked hard with him will go to the end with him.

But when there is a big contract, Chen Tian will not stop them.

After all, it is not as important as making money at any time.

For the championship, it is generally a matter of superstars, and what role players want is a big contract.

The matter of honor is too far away for them.

It's not necessary at all.

After winning the Warriors, the Lakers' November schedule is over.

In November's schedule, the Lakers can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

In addition to the injuries of the three generals, Caruso's post-match suspension also came out.

Suspended for five games, after all, his punch was quite ruthless.

But the results for the whole of November were good.

The Lakers have achieved 19 wins and 2 losses since the start of the season.

This result is also leading the league.

But everyone knows that the gap between the Lakers and the championship teams is getting smaller and smaller.

All the championship teams have already found a way to deal with the Lakers.

As for whether they can win in the end, it depends on the performance of the team.

Like the current championship teams in the West, the Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, and Pelicans have basically found a way to deal with the Lakers.

But if you want to beat the Lakers, it still needs a long way to go.

So this season, fans are looking forward to the moment when the Lakers are defeated.

After all, the Lakers' three-season summit also made many fans want to see the Lakers defeated.

This is also a very natural law.

But the Lakers never expected that their super high record in November gave them a blow in early December.

On December 12, the Lakers played away against the Nuggets.

It may be a reaction to the plateau, the Lakers didn't feel any touch at all in this game.

Even Chen Tian lost all sense of touch.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers were 41 points behind 57:16.

In the third quarter, the Lakers' touch recovered.

But still can't stop the fiery touch of the Nuggets.

In the end, the Lakers got a defeat when they started the season in December.

The failure is far from over.

Back at home, the Lakers faced the Rockets' challenges back to back.

The Rockets didn't make too many signings this season.

But they retained most of the main players from last season.

Harden, Bosh, Capela, Ariza, Gordon, Lu Wei and others all stayed on the team.

During the offseason, the Rockets also signed Mbah a Moute, a defensive striker.

It also strengthened the team's defensive system.

The Lakers have always been back-to-back, and they are definitely not as good as the Rockets in terms of physical strength.

After the start of the game between the two teams, the Rockets completely played against the Lakers.

The Rockets also followed the Warriors' tactics.

In this game, Gordon was deliberately started in order to limit Chen Tian's role on the defensive end.

This made Chen Tian powerless.

But fortunately, the inside combination of Jokic and Gibson did not give the Rockets too many opportunities.

But what kind of team is the Rockets? It's a three-shot team.

At halftime, the Lakers were only three points behind.

Under Chen Tian's tenacious offensive, the Lakers were not far behind.

But the situation changed suddenly at the beginning of the third quarter.

The Rockets' three-pointer finally came up.

Harden and Bosh scored three-pointers one after another.

After that, Lu Wei also continued to fire.

In an instant, the Rockets opened the score.

Afterwards, although Chen Tian was still trying his best to chase points, but the physical strength of the others was also at its limit.

In the end, the Lakers still lost to the Rockets.

It also ushered in a two-game losing streak in the new season.

After the two-game losing streak, the Lakers got three days of rest.

But after that, they will continue their away trip.

Another wave of four consecutive customers came.

The two-game losing streak has hit the morale of the team a bit.

Regarding this situation, Chen Tian had nothing to say.

The team failed, and he, the head star, was naturally the first to stand up.

During the three days of rest, Chen Tian worked hard to practice more.

The rest of the same team is also working hard to practice defense.

Hope to share part of Chen Tian's pressure.

After the three-day break, the Lakers also started their journey of four consecutive visitors.

The Lakers' first opponent is Joe's Hornets.

The Hornets also operated a lot during the offseason.

They brought Howard to the Hornets.

He and Walker formed a combination of inside and outside stars.

But after Howard came to the Hornets, he lost the style of Warcraft.

Even the performance in the Cavaliers last season is gone.

The Hornets were completely taken advantage of and ate Howard's garbage contract.

Boss Joe's operation proved once again that he is just a good player.

The eyesight is really not that good.

The current Hornets are completely in disarray.

If you want to rebuild, no one wants Howard's big contract. If you don't use it, it's really bad in your hands.

That is, a Walker is not bad.

So it's great for the Lakers to play against such a team.

They need a victory to overcome the previous depression.

So after the game started, the Lakers were bombarded indiscriminately.

Chen Tian grabbed French Pippen Batum and was devastated.

Without any skills, just make a sudden attack, and then attack the inside line is a dunk.

Batum didn't have any temper after being beaten by Chen Tian.

On the inside, Jokic also hit Howard with a depressed face.

If Howard was at his peak, Jokic wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

But Howard is no longer at the top now.

Jokic also scored inside very easily.

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

In the second half, JR began to explode.

His nerve knife skill was used again.

The consecutive three-pointers made Chen Tian want to strangle him to death.

Let's not talk about the Nuggets game, after all, the whole team didn't feel good in that game.

In the Rockets game, as long as JR played a little bit, the Lakers would not necessarily lose.

But JR just didn't play out.

Seeing JR's fiery touch in this game, how could Chen Tian not be depressed.

At the end of the third quarter, the game was already closed.

So in the fourth quarter, both teams replaced newcomers.

Payton II, Zubac and others also got the chance to play.

Zubac's performance made Monty very satisfied.

"Zubac's inside offense is still good!"

Kaleman on the side said with a smile.

"Such players are only used in the regular season or the first three quarters, and basically not used in the playoffs!"

"He moves too slowly!"

Monty nodded at these words.

"That's good, the team can change more people!"

And this game ended with the Lakers' 117:93 victory over the Hornets.
