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

It is not a good thing for the Nuggets that Chen Tian can come back to the game against the Nuggets.

Because they are now competing with the Clippers for the eighth place in the West.

There is not much difference from the seventh Trail Blazers.

But this game ushered in the Lakers with Chen Tian, ​​which is definitely not good news for the Nuggets.

The Nuggets this season have definitely completed the reconstruction.

Under the leadership of Murray Nurkic, the team's record is also quite good.

But it is still so close to the playoffs.

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

In fact, this game is not only important to the Nuggets.

It is also very important for the Lakers now.

The Lakers are now tied with the Spurs, both in second place in the Western Conference.

But because the Lakers just lost to the Spurs, they fell to No.3.

And the No. [-] Rockets are only one game away from the Lakers and Spurs.

The fourth Warriors are only one game away from the Lakers.

It can be said that all four teams are likely to become No. [-] in the Western Conference.

The Lakers just experienced a wave of three-game losing streak.

There is no problem with the atmosphere of the team, but there is a big problem with morale.

Old players seem to be indifferent, but no one feels bad when they lose.

The morale and atmosphere are things that are not visible in the first place.

Only by winning games can the morale be improved.

If we talk about the game against the Trail Blazers, it's because there was no Chen Tian.

Who can give a reason for the game against the Spurs and Heat.

Nothing happened against the Heat, it was a real loss.

Against the Spurs, Chen Tian was injured, but in the end Anthony's shot was an open shot, so what can he say if he didn't score.

What's more, it's been four seasons since Chen Tian joined the Lakers, and it's the first time the Lakers have lost three games in a row.

So the blow to morale is still very serious.

Now the outside world is not optimistic about the Lakers winning this season.

In the Lakers locker room before the game, Chen Tian clapped his hands, making everyone look at him.

"At this moment, I seem to have returned to the time when I just joined the Lakers!"

As soon as these words came out, Tucker and the others also laughed.

"Look at our current lineup, it's really strong!"

As soon as Chen Tian said this, he laughed out loud.

Because in just four years, Chen Tian entered the Lakers lineup, and now there are not many people left.

Matthew, Tucker, Jokic, and Brewer were all players that Chen Tian requested to acquire.

Then jr and Yi Jianlian joined in.

This is the lineup that year, after which Anthony and others joined in the second season.

"I still remember the Lakers in the first season. The evaluation given by the outside world is that it is a classic car, with a group of defensive players who can't attack, and a superstar who can rise in the future!"

"This is the evaluation back then, but it is such a group of people who have created a glorious history!"

"After that, our players became stronger and stronger. The strongest year must be the Lakers in the 15-16 season!"

"Think about the starting lineup of Kobe, Chen Tian, ​​Anthony, Matthew and Jokic!"

"But what I want to say is that as our lineup becomes stronger and stronger, the outside world's perception of us seems to have returned to the original point again!"

As soon as these words came out, all the old players laughed.

Caruso and others are more curious.

"That's when I always come out and say something that inspires everyone!"

"But after that, I talked less and less!"

"Because the Lakers were already the strongest at that time!"

"But now all the teams really think they have found a way to beat the Lakers!"

"I don't even know when they have so many ways!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

"But no matter what we do, we have to let them know that the Lakers are the strongest team in the league!"

"Anyone can think that the Lakers can't win the championship, but we have to believe in ourselves!"

"Let's also go back to square one, win every game, and finally win the damn trophy, and make our lineup one of the best teams in NBA history!"

At this time, the staff came in and informed that the game was about to start.

Chen Tian gathered everyone together.

"Win this game and let everyone know one thing, that is, the Lakers are still..."

Everyone shouted together at this moment.

"The strongest!!!"

After shouting this sentence, everyone rushed out together.

Monty, Kaleman, and the rest of the coaching staff all laughed when they saw this scene.

Ever since Chen Tian entered the league, this team has never changed.

Everyone has witnessed the growth of such a great team.

Seeing Chen Tian standing up again, everyone smiled.

This moment is like going back to the first season of the Lakers.

After the Lakers played the whole team, the whole team was different.

At this moment, the Lakers let go of all the pressure and just want to win this game.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

The Nuggets vowed to win this game.

And the Lakers also want to use this game to prove themselves.

The war is also imminent.

Coming up, first Millsap scored two points from the outside line.

But in turn, Jokic assisted Chen Tian and scored with a dunk with both hands.

After landing, Chen Tian also let out a roar.

"Strengthen defense!!!"

Immediately, the defense of the entire Lakers also improved.

Matthew once again used his stunt to defend close to the body, directly holding Murray there.

Barton was so tricked by Tucker that he could only float and shoot from the outside.

Jokic and Nurkic fought in the paint.

Neither Anthony nor Millsap can limit the other.

And Chen Tian was facing another player that the Nuggets focused on training, Gary Harris.

This guy is also a strong offensive and defensive player.

But the Nuggets also knew they couldn't defend against Chen Tian, ​​so they simply deployed players with good offense.

But they never expected that the Lakers were in such a good state in this game.

Under the tacit defense of the whole team, the Nuggets are also losing ground.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers were already leading by nine points.

At halftime, the Lakers' locker room also started a joke again.

This is the style of the Lakers now, halftime laughter has become a fixed program.

After the start of the second half of the game.

The Nuggets also launched a wave of counterattacks under the leadership of Murray.

Murray scored a layup first.

After that, he made an emergency stop and scored a three-pointer.

This also gave the Nuggets the hope of catching up.

But Chen Tian and Anthony soon joined forces to crush their hopes.

Chen Tian leaned back and easily hit it.

Anthony also stepped back for a three-pointer and steadily scored into the basket.

After that, Chen Tian blocked Harris' dunk on the defensive end.

Jokic got the ball and threw it directly to the frontcourt.

Anthony got the ball and it was a one-handed dunk.

After that, the Lakers also blossomed more.

Tucker hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Matthew also easily scored a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle.

After the bench came up, Rose, jr and others also frequently bombed the Nuggets' basket.

In the end, with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets stopped playing.

All the main players were replaced.

When Monty saw this scene, he also replaced Chen Tian and the others.

In the end, the Lakers won the opponent at the home court of the Nuggets, which also swept away the previous haze.

After winning the Nuggets, the next game for the Lakers is two home games.

But now no team dares to rest players.

Regardless of whether it is the East or the West, the first few teams have not had much record.

If you lose a game, you may fall out of the top four directly.

So even though it was two home games, Monty didn't dare to be careless.

Returning to the Lakers at home, the first opponent is the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers this season really surprised everyone.

The Cavaliers who thought they lost James must be lonely.

But under the combination of Love, Horford, and Shuangfu, this team miraculously returned to the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

On this point, Chen Tian admired Tai Lue's coaching ability very much.

After the All-Star Game, the Cavaliers also made a deal, and they traded Thomas Jr. out.

In exchange for Clarkson, George Hill and other players who are ready to fight.

This has increased the strength of the knights a lot.

After the game between the two teams started in the evening, the Cavaliers really had a big impact on the Lakers.

Because the whole team is full of players who can shoot threes.

Both Love and Horford are really good inside and outside.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers fell into a backlash.

Fortunately, the Lakers changed their tactics in time.

Started to turn the game around.

In the second half, Chen Tian even led the Lakers to a 13:2 spurt.

In one fell swoop laid the team's victory.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 113:94.

Although they won the game, Chen Tian was impressed by the tenacity of the Cavaliers.

After that, the Lakers' home opponent was the Nuggets again.

But this time the situation for the Nuggets is not very good.

In the last game, Murray also sprained his ankle.

It's not a big problem, but I can't play this game.

This greatly reduces the strength of the Nuggets.

After the game between the two teams started, the Lakers just crushed each other directly.

Although Nurkic still performed well in the interior, he is still a lot worse than Jokic.

And the Nuggets didn't shoot very well from outside tonight.

It is particularly good for the Lakers to catch defensive counterattacks.

When the three quarters are over, the Lakers are already sure of victory.

In the end, Chen Tian also clocked out of get off work in three quarters, and the Lakers double-killed the Nuggets.
