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

"Ball, ball, ball in!!!"

When O'Neill saw the goal scored, he stood up excitedly and shouted.

And the fans in the audience shouted excitedly at the moment the goal was scored.

"It's incredible, Chen Tian saved the Lakers again!"

Kenny also shouted excitedly on the side.

Barkley shook his head and said.

"No, no, Chen Tian once again made the Lakers!"

As soon as the words came out, Kenny and O'Neill also agreed.

On the court, everyone on the Lakers surrounded Chen Tian at this moment.

With this lore, the Lakers also struggled to win the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

The celebration of the Lakers team is also the chagrin of the Spurs team.

Leonard watched the ball fly overhead, but there was nothing he could do.

Before ten seconds, he was still the hero of the Spurs, but after ten seconds, they lost.

Leonard raised his head and looked at Chen Tian.

He's not one to admit defeat.

During the Big Three of the Heat, they defeated the Spurs in seven games.

But in the second year, the Spurs completed their revenge on the Heat.

You must know that on the day the Heat won the championship, Popovich formulated the defensive James tactic for the Spurs, which is a double-team tactic.

But in the second year of turning around, the Spurs only needed Leonard to defend James in the Finals.

Don't look at just a little change.

But Duncan and others were completely released.

You have to know if Duncan and others help to defend.

For these veterans, the offensive power will be greatly reduced.

But Leonard alone defended James, which allowed the Spurs to win the final championship.

Just look at James' scoring average in the Finals.

In five games that year, James averaged 28.2 points per game.

This score is not low.

But in the 14-15 season, the Lakers and Cavaliers finals.

Under Chen Tian's defense, James averaged 30.5 points per game.

This shows how successful Leonard was in defending James back then.

What's more, James during the Heat period was really at his peak.

So for Leonard, this little loss can only become his motivation to become stronger.

For NBA superstars, the mentality is basically the same.

If they lose one or two games, they will be sluggish.

Then they are not worthy of the word superstar.

Leonard took a deep look at Chen Tian, ​​then turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

In the next game, he will definitely win back.

This is what Leonard said to himself in his heart.

And from this moment on, the battle between Chen Tian and Leonard in the west really started.

On the commentary seat, the three of O'Neill were also excited for a long time.

After all, it was so cool to see such a lore in the Western Conference Finals.

Kenny recovered first, and also talked about the data of the players of the two teams.

"In this game, Chen Tian scored 29 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists!"

"It can be said that the data is still perfect!"

"As for the others, Anthony scored 21 points, Jokic also scored 17 points, and JR also scored 16 points!"

"In this Lakers game, the whole team is in the state!"

Barkley on the side also said.

"Such data show that the entire Lakers team performed very well in this game!"

"After all, the rest of the players are basically good defensive players!"

And Kenny nodded and continued.

"For the Spurs, Leonard scored 26 points, Canada also scored 19 points, and Rudy Gay also scored 23 points!"

"From the data of the two teams, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with it!"

O'Neal looked at the data and sneered.

"Because there is nothing wrong with it, that is the biggest problem!"

As soon as this was said, the fans watching the live broadcast were a little puzzled.

How come there is nothing wrong with it, and it becomes the biggest problem?

O'Neill also explained here.

"From the statistics, we can see that all the players of the two teams who can play in this game have played!"

"Look at the score again, 101:99, this score is not very high!"

"It proves that the defense of the two teams is also doing very well!"

"But he did a good job, but there was a lore in the game, which can only explain one point!"

When O'Neal said this, Barkley and Kenny also looked at O'Neal.

Because everyone knows that although O'Neill has been going farther and farther on the road of being funny.

But O'Neill's status as a top student is also real.

Therefore, O'Neill's serious analysis is very accurate in many cases.

"Among the two teams, what is missing is a person who stands up!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused.

"Still stand up? Didn't Chen Tian and Leonard stand up in this game?"

Barkley also asked in puzzlement.

"No, no, I'm not talking about the two of them!"

"It's someone else!"

At this time, the smart fans, Kenny, and Barkley all reflected it.

Just need someone else to stand up.

If the Lakers did not catch up after the Spurs' three-pointer in the second quarter of this game, the Spurs must have won the game.

So that's what O'Neill meant by standing up.

"It seems that this round of the series is not easy!"

Kenny also sighed with emotion.

The Lakers generals who returned to the locker room also celebrated excitedly.

Chen Tian also celebrated with everyone.

But Chen Tian was still a little uneasy.

Just like what O'Neill and Kenny said just now.

This round of the series is really hard to play.

Because the strength gap between the two teams was the smallest that Chen Tian had encountered in four seasons.

Even the lineups of the two teams are extremely similar.

It is completely different from the Lakers' previous game against the Warriors.

Even when Chen Tian was facing the Big Four of the Warriors, he didn't feel this uneasy feeling.

In such a game, the variable must not be on the coach and core players.

It depends on the role players who can break out.

At this point, the Spurs have a great advantage.

After all, the veterans in their team have a lot of experience in this kind of game.

Especially the Spurs team is very good at playing such games.

So this was also one of Chen Tian's uneasy elements.

There is also such a game, it is easy to have injuries and low morale of the team.

If you can't get it right, you really have to go home and fish.

In fact, Chen Tian is not the only one who understands this.

Popovich, Monty and others all understand.

But now they can't do anything.

All they can do is make some small changes, but the end of the game depends on who can stand up.

Chen Tian didn't stop his teammates from celebrating, because such a celebration was necessary.

This kind of competition intensity is very tormenting both physically and mentally.

Jordan's Bulls and Thomas' Pistons met in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Pippen, who was still a fledgling at that time, was given a migraine by the Pistons.

Pippen himself said in the documentary that such a game is more uncomfortable than killing him.

So such a stage must be released.

Do anything but abstinence.

The Lakers are like this now. During the Western Conference finals last season, the team started to gamble.

During the halftime break, everyone started playing.

Even now mahjong has become an important thing in the Lakers locker room.

Going to an away game, the team's staff have to take two pieces of mahjong.

Regarding this point, everyone from Kobe to Chen Tian would not care about it.

And it's okay for everyone to play, but I'm afraid that if some people don't play, that's the problem.

So in this round of the series, not only the players, everyone is very tired.

After Chen Tian returned to the manor, he saw Li Xirui and Zhou Ling'an waiting for him.

"Sure enough, I guessed it, the two of you must be waiting for me!"

When the two women heard Chen Tian return to the first sentence, they also smiled.

"Don't worry, it's a bit difficult, but it's not the time for me to be afraid!"

Neither woman said anything.

"I'll get you something to eat!"

After Zhou Ling'an finished speaking, she also went to the kitchen.

Only Li Xirui and Chen Tian were left.

Chen Tian was sitting on the sofa, also hugging Li Xirui.

"What happened to you two?"

Li Xirui shook her head.

"It's nothing, we just want to tell you that no one will never fail!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian held Li Xirui's hand even tighter.

"You all watched this game!"

Li Xirui nodded.

In fact, among the girls, the ones who know Chen Tian best are Li Xirui and Zhou Ling'an.

So in this game, don't think it must be what Zhou Ling'an said.

Among the women who know these things best, she and Mina are the ones.

But Mina can't see anything profound.

But Zhou Lingan is different, she is a well-known reporter in the basketball world.

Especially the things inside a team, she is very clear.

So naturally I understand it.

No one can help him share the burden on Chen Tian.

Whether in the Lakers or the national team, Chen Tian is someone who must stand up.

Just because he is the core of the team.

So what Li Xirui and the others can do is to give Chen Tian the warmth of his family when he returns to the manor.

"Don't worry, you know me best. Back then, I survived even mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I was afraid of such a scene!"

When Chen Tian said this, Li Xirui also nodded vigorously.

"Remember, you will always be our hero and our children's!"

This is home, a fantastic game for all to see.

But in the eyes of Li Xirui and the others, this is a match that puts all the pressure on Chen Tian.

When everyone was celebrating the Lakers won the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

Li Xirui and the others wanted Chen Tian to relax more.

Others don't understand, but Li Xirui understands it too well.

Chen Tian was too tired in his life.

My nerves are tense all the time, because if I'm not careful, it's really an abyss.

As for Chen Tian, ​​when he released the pressure, it was when he returned to the manor.

This home is where he releases all the pressure.

As for the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, Chen Tian must do his best.

This kind of game has never been economical for him.

If you don't try your best, you are really sorry for such a game.
