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

Chen Tian didn't expect that the coach would say such a word to him when he came over.

You know, for the Lakers this season, Chen Tian basically didn't spend a quarter of the game on offense.

Most of the time, Chen Tian was organizing the team.

Monty never let Chen Tian start the offensive mode.

To know a giant team, someone must make sacrifices.

Looking at the Lakers' previous two F4s, you can understand why Chen Tian is willing to sacrifice his possession of the ball.

Not just the Lakers, even the Heat during the James era, Bosch also sacrificed his possession of the ball.

Why are the Cavaliers struggling so much now?

That is, whoever holds the ball plays among the four, without any tactics at all.

So Monty asked Chen Tian to take over the second quarter, Chen Tian was still very surprised.

But what the coach said, Chen Tian did what he did.

Soon the first quarter was over.

The two teams also tied with the score of 35:35 under the outbreak of Anthony and Clay.

During the break between the two teams, the head coaches of the two teams also arranged tactics nervously.

Monty also arranged for Chen Tian to lead the team to play in the second quarter.

This surprised Kobe and others a bit.

After all, they haven't let Chen Tian lead the team alone this season.

Monty didn't care about their eyes, just arranged the players for the second quarter.

Come back soon for the second quarter.

For the Lakers, Chen Tian brought Yi Jianlian, Tucker, McGee and Curry to the field.

There are no surprises in this lineup.

But after the game started, the Lakers' tactics made Cole frown.

Only saw the second quarter after the game came back.

Chen Tian completely turned on the personal mode.

Facing Chen Tian's attack, Barnes' defense was extremely fragile.

Chen Tian held the ball and faced Barnes, it was like crossing the road in the early morning.

After all of them passed by, they went to the inside line and made a layup.

Later, when defending, Chen Tian also slapped Barnes' layup.

Launched a fast break and succeeded in one-handed splitting and dunking.

This time, the morale of the Lakers went up.

Cole knew that he was still missing a move.

The Lakers' bench danced with excitement.

This is the Monty tactic.

That's singles.

This is not a tactic, but against a strong team, it is indeed the best tactic.

This is also the reason why the Warriors lost to the Lakers in the playoffs last season.

Cole smiled coldly.

"Monty, you don't think I'm still afraid of this tactic, do you?"

Thinking of this, Cole also hurriedly changed.

Replaced Green who didn't play much in the first quarter.

Let Green defend Chen Tian.

And replaced Chandler.

In this way, it would be difficult for Chen Tian to get inside.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the two also reappeared.

Facing the defense of the two, one inside and one outside, Chen Tian did not play so easily.

But Chen Tian's CIC is still stable.

The score was gradually opened up by Chen Tian.

Cole looked at the situation on the field, but also bit his teeth in hatred.

Who would have thought that the Lakers would have picked such a monster.

There was no other way, Cole also hurriedly sent Curry on the field.

Monty had been waiting for this moment.

Monty immediately put Kobe and Anthony on the court.

Don't look at this one small change.

After the Lakers started the second quarter.

Chen Tian's outburst led the score.

This is what this change brings.

At this time, Livingston came up and caused McGee's thug foul.

Livingston went to the free throw line and made both free throws.

Curry also returned to the court.

In this way, the starting lineups of the two teams are basically all back.

In the following time, the match between the two teams also fell into a tug-of-war.

On Curry's side, after receiving the pass, against Chen Tian's defense, he forced a three-pointer to score.

And it caused Chen Tian to foul.

3+1 at a time.

When Chen Tian saw this goal scored, he also admired Curry very much.

This ball revived the morale of the Warriors.

Conversely, the Lakers are completely in singles mode.

Anthony, Kobe, and Chen Tian are all good singles players.

They depend on who will defend the three of them.

Whoever has the worst defender will take the ball and play singles.

This kind of attack has also become very simple.

Here Kobe faced the defense and easily leaned back and scored.

After that, the Splash Brothers and the singles trio began to compete.

Clay received a pass from Curry and scored from mid-range.

After Anthony made three threats, he scored a layup.

Curry swayed the defense and scored a layup with difficulty.

Chen Tian received Kobe's pass and scored with an alley-oop dunk with both hands.

The five people on the field also became crazy.

The fans in the entire Staples Arena also shouted crazily when they saw such a game.

The O'Neill trio in the commentary seat were also stunned when they saw the performance of the five players on the court.

In this way, the five-person duel lasted until the last 3 minutes of the second quarter.

The head coaches of the two teams can't wait anymore.

Substitutions were quickly made.

Let alone Kobe, a veteran.

Even Chen Tian was already dripping with sweat at this time.

The head coaches of the two teams did not expect that the core players would play like this in the second quarter.

But at this time, Monty's real arrangement came out.

At this time, Monty put Jokic back on the field.

Jokic did not play the entire second quarter.

Waiting for this moment.

After Cole saw Jokic playing, he immediately covered his forehead helplessly.

He really didn't expect that the Lakers still had such a big move hidden.

You must know that this season, Jokic is the least obvious of the Lakers.

But his stats speak for themselves.

Averaged 16.5 points per game, and that speaks for itself.

He has grown into a qualified starting center.

Sure enough, after Jokic reappeared, the rhythm of the game also came directly to the Lakers.

Chen Tian, ​​who was sitting off the field, was also very happy to see this scene.

Only then did Chen know about Monty's arrangement.

In fact, Chen Tian's offense in the second quarter was completely smoke bomb.

Just to deceive Cole and hide Jokic.

Sure enough, in the remaining 3 minutes, Jokic perfectly controlled the entire game.

There is absolutely no one inside the Warriors who can have a little impact on Jokic.

Jokic also played quite well in 3 minutes.

Finally, the second quarter ended.

The Lakers successfully led the score to double digits by virtue of Monty's formation in the second quarter.

The score was 63:51, and the Lakers led by 12 points.

Although this score is quite a lot, the Lakers are not so excited.

Because they all know that this score can be recovered in 2 minutes for the two teams.

So the final answer still needs the second half of the game...
