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

"This is the playoffs, and the most likely thing to happen in this kind of battle is injury!"

"Let us bless Caruso and hope he can return to the game soon!"

At this time, Kenny also said in the commentary booth.

Barkley and O'Neal on one side also put away their smiles.

For them, they were both once professional athletes.

Therefore, injuries are something that no athlete wants to touch.

On the Lakers bench, rookies like Isaiah have already covered their heads with towels.

And Rose was praying silently over there.

No one knows better than Rose about injuries.

On the auditorium side, Kobe and Johnson also rushed to the locker room immediately.

Immediately because of Caruso's injury, the morale of the Lakers also dropped to freezing point.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian didn't have anything to complain about.

No one wants to see this kind of thing.

And there is not much time left before the end of the second quarter.

Chen Tian was also planning to go back to the locker room and talk about it later.

So after the match between the two teams continued, Chen Tian also played consecutive singles.

He didn't pass the ball too much, because he knew that his singles were the most effective at this time.

Seeing Chen Tian's performance on the field, O'Neill couldn't help but sigh.

"Some people are born leaders, and they don't need to lead at all!"

As soon as O'Neill said this, Barkley nodded.

Only Kenny was a little puzzled.

After all, both O'Neal and Barkley have been the core players of the team.

How the core can make the whole team play on the field is a very critical thing.

And when something unexpected happens to the team, the core must also stand up.

So after the two saw Chen Tian's performance, they also asked themselves if they could do what Chen Tian did.

The answer to them is only one word, can't do it.

Soon the second quarter was over.

No one expected that after the second quarter, the Pelicans led the Lakers by four points 59:55.

"At the end of the halftime game, there are obviously some problems on the Lakers side!"

Kenny also made a conclusion at halftime.

"Caruso's injury obviously affected the morale of the team!"

"Now we'll see how the Lakers will adjust at the end of the halftime game!"

Barkley also said.

"I have great confidence in Chen Tian, ​​he will definitely inspire his teammates in the locker room!"

O'Neill also said last.

In the Lakers locker room, everyone lowered their heads.

It can be clearly seen that everyone's emotions are not very high.

Monty and Kaleman exchanged glances.

At this time, it is also difficult for them to mobilize the morale of the team.

Because of the injury, it is impossible for everyone in the team to temporarily forget about it.

But at this moment, Chen Tian clapped his hands again.

Let everyone look at him.

"Are you afraid?"

No one expected that Chen Tian's first sentence would be like this.

"In this team, most of them are people who have played for many years. More or less, basically everyone has some injuries!"

"Including me!"

"As for injuries, I think everyone should be familiar with them!"

"But your performance just now disappointed me!"

"Look at what you are doing! Do you still look like a dynastic Lakers player!"

"For the finals, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can hold on to the game with oxygen!"

"Kobe still insisted on completing free throws with a ruptured Achilles tendon in order for the team to enter the playoffs!"

"Look at our seniors, and then look at you, you shrink back from this little thing!"

Chen Tian's furious roars hit everyone's hearts.

"Anthony, you entered the league in 03, and you are also the earliest person here!"

"You should have seen a lot of things like this, I didn't expect you to shrink back!"

Anthony also looked at Chen Tian when he heard Chen Tian's words.

After seeing Chen Tian's angry eyes, Anthony fell silent.

Anthony despised anyone's opinion.

Even Jordan.

Because Anthony has always thought that he is no worse than them.

But there is only one person, when he scolds him, he will not reply.

This person is Chen Tian.

In just a few seasons, Anthony has surrendered to Chen Tian.

When Chen Tian finished speaking these words, Anthony himself wondered if he was afraid.

The answer in my heart is yes.

As he got older, he became more and more careful when playing on the field.

He was afraid of getting hurt, afraid that after falling to the ground, he would never be able to get up again.

At first, Chen Tian mentioned a person just now, and that was Kobe.

When Anthony heard the name Kobe, he suddenly thought of Kobe's injuries.

Especially when the Achilles tendon ruptured, Kobe was sweating profusely and still insisted on completing free throws.

Anthony suddenly wanted to understand one thing at this moment.

He has already achieved what he should have, and it is time for him to give it a go.

Anthony raised his head and saw that Chen Tian was still talking to everyone.

Anthony stood up, walked to Chen Tian, ​​and patted Chen Tian on the shoulder.

Chen Tian also turned his head and saw that it was Anthony.

Before Chen Tian could speak, Anthony also said.

"You're right, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

"I will always be by your side and provide you with fire support!"

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

Then Tucker, Matthew, Yi Jianlian, jr and others also stood up.

Gradually everyone gathered around Chen Tian.

Chen Tian's smile grew stronger.

He knew what he said was working.

It's time for the halftime break.

Everyone also gathered around Chen Tian, ​​shouting that slogan again.

"champion!!!"

After shouting this sentence, everyone rushed out together.

The eyes of Monty and Kaleman were full of disbelief.

"Just now O'Neill said such a sentence, some people are born leaders, this sentence is true!"

Monty couldn't help but said.

Kaleman on the side also nodded.

The second half of the game between the two teams also started.

After the start of the third quarter, the Lakers showed a strong defense.

The whole team and the second half of the second quarter were like two people.

"Oh, it seems that the Lakers really inspired everyone at halftime, look at their defense!"

O'Neill couldn't help but shouted.

The Lakers strengthened their defense and gradually smoothed out the five-point gap.

But the Pelicans are already familiar with the defensive strength of the Lakers.

So they didn't have the rout of the last game.

The offense of the two teams is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In terms of score, the two teams also refused to give in to each other.

The Lakers' perfect striker team cooperation.

On the Pelicans side, the Shuangsi combination is also quite strong.

The entire third quarter turned into a confrontation between the core players of both sides.

This made the fans in the audience excited.

Finally, the third quarter ended, and the Lakers temporarily led by one point 78:77.

"The entire third quarter of the game was simply a confrontation between the defense and the superstars!"

Kenny said with a sigh of relief at the end of the third quarter.

Anthony, Chen Tian, ​​Cousins ​​and Davis played the entire third quarter.

But in this way, the Lakers will lead by one point.

"The Pelicans played very well in the third quarter and completely withstood the pressure put on them by the Lakers. Now let's watch the fourth quarter!"

The fourth quarter of the game between the two teams began.

The head coaches of the two teams let the main players rest first.

Anthony and Cousins ​​didn't play.

Instead, Chen Tian and Davis came to lead the team respectively.

In this game, apart from these four, the best performer on the Lakers side is Jokic.

This guy still performed pretty well under the defense of the two big insiders.

And the Pelicans must be Miller.

If it weren't for his rise from the perimeter, the Lakers couldn't have played so hard.

The fourth quarter of the match between the two teams began, and Chen Tian and Davis fought against each other again.

Chen Tian made an elegant mid-range shot and scored.

Davis also played back, turned and leaned back and easily hit the basket.

The Pelicans have always guaranteed that one-point gap.

Soon the fourth quarter was halfway through.

The main players of the two teams also returned to the field.

As soon as Cousins ​​came up, he made a strong dunk with both hands.

But in turn, Anthony immediately responded with a three-pointer.

Chen Tian hit the basket with the ball and passed the ball to Jokic while being double-teamed.

Jokic also dunked the ball in with one hand.

Rondo holds the ball, Davis screens and goes down.

The Lakers' defensive focus was immediately attracted to Davis.

Rondo didn't look at the pass, but passed it to Miller on the outside.

Miller didn't hesitate to take the ball and directly shot a three-pointer.

The ball enters the net hollow.

With this goal scored, the score between the Pelicans and the Lakers returned to one point again.

When Chen Tian saw the goal scored, he didn't expect the game to be so close.

After that, the offense of the two teams also came to a standstill.

The defense of both sides has improved at this time.

Even Chen Tian's shot missed the basket.

As time goes by little by little, it will soon be the last minute.

At this moment, Chen Tian took the double-team from Davis and Cousins, and scored the ball with difficulty.

The goal was scored, and Chen Tian raised his arms.

Conversely, for the Pelicans, Rondo played in series for the entire game, but made a mistake.

That is, when both Cousins ​​and Miller were open, Rondo chose to pass the ball to Miller.

Because Miller stood outside the three-point line.

But Miller's shot did not score this time.

Chen Tian grabbed the offensive rebound.

This made the Pelicans passive.

Then, during this attack, Chen Tian turned around and scored a jumper again.

All of a sudden, the efforts of the Pelicans throughout the game came to naught.

The gap of five points is not that much, but there is not enough time at this time.

At the end of the game, the Lakers took the Pelicans 101:95 with difficulty.
