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

Although in the second quarter, Chen Tian suppressed James.

But when it came up, the Cavaliers still pulled the score back a little.

So it also led to the second quarter, and the Lakers even lost the Cavaliers by five points.

So during the intermission, Monty also had to think about how to play against the Cavaliers in the second half.

The current Cavaliers are not what they were last season.

Although Love is still very stretched when facing the Lakers.

But they also have Wade.

You know, the Cavaliers might not be able to guard against Chen Tian for the entire game.

But they don't have to defend and go all out to attack.

Although the Lakers seem to have a very luxurious lineup.

But when it came to the last quarter, the only people the Lakers could count on were Anthony and Chen Tian.

Jokic hasn't really grown up yet.

And Kobe's physical strength couldn't last the entire third quarter, especially in the playoffs.

So although the lineup is luxurious, there are not many candidates for the critical moment.

It's different for the Cavaliers. Anyone of the three outsiders can do it.

Even Lefu is fine.

That was the key question Monty had to think about.

If Kobe is still the same as last season, Monty will be relieved a lot.

But since Bryant announced his final season, he's been enjoying the court more.

In the end, Monty also made a bold decision.

Monty stood up and clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to him.

Monty said the same.

"In the third quarter, Kobe, you don't want to play anymore."

"Tuck, you're here to take Kobe's place."

Hearing this, everyone was still a little surprised.

What does this mean, Kobe was sidelined.

Monty continued.

"Kobe save your strength, the fourth quarter is our key."

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.

Kobe also nodded, because he also knew that his physical strength is now a big problem.

Then Monty looked at Chen Tian again.

Although he didn't say anything, Chen Tian knew what Monty meant.

"Good coach, I understand."

As soon as the words came out, Monty nodded in satisfaction.

It has to be said that the Cavaliers did put a lot of pressure on Chen Tian in terms of offense.

So Chen Tian is also preparing to play the second half.

Soon the second half of the game will begin.

Back in the second half of the game, the Cavaliers' lineup has not changed, and it is still the starting lineup.

On the Lakers side, Tucker replaced Kobe.

This change made the four people in the commentary stand a little confused.

Barkley couldn't help but look at the Lakers' lineup.

"Isn't it because Kobe has no place in the Lakers?"

As soon as these words came out, the other three looked at him like an idiot.

"Kobe has no place, it's a big joke."

O'Neill also couldn't help saying.

Kenny and Miller on the side also nodded in response.

But why Kobe was not allowed to play, the four were still a little puzzled.

In fact, the Lakers in this life are quite different from the previous life.

In the previous life, even in Kobe's last season, as long as he played, the Lakers had the backbone.

But this life is different, the core of the Lakers has gradually become Chen Tian.

Even last season, Chen Tian didn't have such a core position.

But last season, Kobe gradually pushed Chen Tian to the number one position.

After a season of baptism, Chen Tian also successfully became a core player this season.

This is why Monty dared to let Kobe sit on the bench.

Soon the third quarter of the game between the two teams officially began.

Wade and James have realized the power of the three forwards.

So neither of them dared to be careless.

After the start of the third quarter, the two teams surprisingly started to play defensive tactics.

The defense of the two teams has also improved to a higher level.

It was really difficult for Chen Tian to break through the siege of James, Love and Thompson.

On the Cavaliers' side, that is, Irving can still stand up and fight.

But after a while, Monty replaced Yi Jianlian.

Strengthened the mobility of the team's defense.

Jokic was on the inside, and his return to defense was still a bit slow.

Jokic also knows this.

But Jokic didn't have any complaints, everyone on this team is working hard for a goal.

So the team will never have the problem of who plays too little time.

This is also the team culture brought by Chen Tian, ​​everyone is doing everything to prepare for victory.

After Yi Jianlian came up, it was not so easy for Owen to break through and get inside.

As time went by, the Cavaliers' defense still loosened.

Chen Tian also seized the opportunity and continuously broke through James to score points.

In this game, James had already been numb by Chen Tian's breakthrough.

He really couldn't guard against Chen Tian.

And James, who is the proud son of heaven, has fallen to the ground at this moment.

After the Lakers attacked, Chen Tian once again broke through James.

But this time James was obviously a little annoyed.

When Chen Tian made a layup, he hit Chen Tian's face with his hands and pulled Chen Tian down.

When Chen Tian couldn't see anything, he threw the ball out.

Because Chen Tian's first thought was that the ball was thrown, at least a foul should be called.

But Chen Tian really didn't expect that James would strike so hard.

Chen Tian only felt that a big hand was directly in front of his eyes.

Suddenly his eyes felt pain.

Then he fell hard on his back to the ground.

This scene shocked everyone.

Anthony was the first to react.

Anthony rushed over and pushed James aside.

At this moment, their banana boat brotherhood was completely broken.

Thompson on one side saw his boss being bullied, and rushed over angrily to give Anthony a good look.

Just as Thompson charged, a fist punched him in the face.

He only saw that Ci Shiping had rushed over at this time, knocking Thompson to the ground with one punch.

Thompson was stunned for a moment.

Ci Shiping also looked viciously at Thompson who was lying on the ground.

"You rubbish, do you bully the Lakers and have no one left?"

When Ci Shiping entered the stage, the whole situation was immediately reversed.

Here Owen and Love held James.

And Yi Jianlian and Tucker also held Anthony.

Wade hugged Matthew, otherwise this guy would have done it long ago.

The three referees also quickly separated the conflict.

And Monty, Kobe and others all surrounded Chen Tian.

At this moment, the hearts of all the Lakers were pulled together.

Anthony and Ci Shiping also remembered that Chen Tian was still lying on the ground.

Several people also rushed to Chen Tian's side.

But Chen Tian was lying on the ground, but there was no reaction.
