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

After the All-Star Weekend, the entire regular season schedule has also entered the second half.

The teams in the playoffs are also starting to prepare for their rankings.

The teams that missed the playoffs are starting to think about team building during the offseason.

The Lakers are relatively relaxed right now.

Although the record is not as high as the Warriors.

But Monty this season, the main focus is health basketball.

We must know that this season, even Chen Tian played a full game, not many.

Let alone other people.

So the Lakers no longer take the record seriously.

As long as it can be guaranteed to be in the upper half of the division, that's fine.

Now the playoffs are the problem the Lakers have to face.

So after the training, Monty also announced the next schedule, and he will selectively rest some people.

There is no objection to this.

Substitute players hope to get some more playing time.

The main players need more rest, which is completely killing two birds with one stone.

The current Lakers roster is 14 people.

And Ci Shiping will basically not play.

So Johnson also signed Marcelo Huertas, a point guard with excellent passing.

In this way, the Lakers' entire 15-man roster is also complete.

Facing the Spurs game tomorrow, the Lakers still have to play as a team.

After all, after resting for such a long time, it is still necessary to find out the status.

After a day of training, everyone left the arena.

But Anthony stayed.

"coach."

Monty heard the voice, turned around and saw Anthony calling himself.

"Anthony, why don't you go back?"

Anthony said a little embarrassedly.

"Coach, it's just about rest. Can you count me in?"

When Monty heard this, he thought for a moment and knew what Anthony meant.

"Don't worry, the rest is not a suspension, and it won't delay your scoring champion."

Anthony was happy when he heard this.

Then he left the arena with a smile.

When Monty saw Anthony's back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This might be Chen Tian's ability.

He really can make everyone on the team better.

In fact, Monty knew exactly what Anthony was thinking.

Although Anthony, James and others are all outstanding players of the 03 generation.

But Anthony is much worse than James and Wade.

In any case, James and Wade are the ones who have won championships.

And Anthony has been playing for so many years, but he is still empty-handed.

For Anthony, although he didn't say it, he must feel uncomfortable in his heart.

In addition, it was labeled as a cancer in New York.

For a superstar, this is even more shameful.

So after coming to the Lakers, Anthony also vowed to prove himself.

Monty knew this, and he said that to Anthony.

As for Chen Tian, ​​he returned to the manor.

When Chen Tian came back, he saw that only Li Xirui and Zhou Lingan were in the living room.

"What's the matter? Are they shopping again?"

Li Xirui smiled when she heard Chen Tian's words.

"No, we all went to see the little ones."

Hearing this, Chen Tian also nodded.

I have to say, these little guys really look different every day, and they grow up really fast.

In just a few days, these little guys have already been walking like flying.

Although it is cute to run, it is really fast.

With these little guys at home, Tong Liya and the others seemed to have jobs.

It's just that the nanny is online.

A few people every day revolve around these little guys.

This day was once again occupied by these little guys.

On the second day, the Lakers were also preparing to play against the incoming Spurs at home.

In this game, JR also ushered in a comeback.

But Monty also strictly controlled his playing time.

After all, he has just returned from injury, and it will take some time to adapt to the pressure of the game.

Soon the game between the two teams will begin.

The Spurs are also all the main players here.

Duncan and Ade are paired on the inside, and Parker, Green and Leonard are on the outside.

Chen Tian was still very afraid of the Spurs.

Popovich deserves to be a famous coach.

After last season, plus a few games this season.

Popovich has found a way to deal with the Lakers.

Especially the game before the All-Star Game, if it weren't for Chen Tian's lore at the end.

The Lakers really don't necessarily win.

But tonight's game can be described as quite dull.

I don't know what happened.

The feel of the two teams is very poor.

If you say that Kobe doesn't feel good, you can still say it.

After all, this guy is used to blacksmithing.

But Anthony and Matthew also don't feel good, which is a bit unreasonable.

You know, the Lakers average three-pointers per game.

Matthew is ranked first, followed by Anthony.

But the two didn't feel very good tonight.

The two didn't score open three-pointers.

And the Spurs are not very good here, the three players on the outside basically have no touch.

Green even directly turned into Huang Ama, which is so iron-clad.

It can be said that the inside line of the two teams has been quite hard.

Chen Tian and Jokic, Adelaide and Duncan, these four rebounded in double figures in the first quarter.

After the two teams played in the first quarter, one scored 21 points and the other scored 19 points.

This is no one.

But Popovich was very happy to see it.

To say that playing this kind of game, Popovich is really very knowledgeable.

He likes this, slowly grinding his opponent to death.

After the game, the two teams still did not find the touch.

This phenomenon also affected Leonard and Chen Tian.

Originally, the two felt pretty good, but gradually the two couldn't make the shot.

A good game has completely become a fight with iron.

At the end of the three quarters, the two teams only scored 67:66, and the Spurs temporarily led by one point.

The game was dull, and even the home audience was about to fall asleep.

But the two teams have nothing to do.

After all, they have fought against each other many times, and they are too familiar with each other.

Now the two teams have no absolute tactics.

That is, whoever has the opportunity will fight.

But in the fourth quarter, Popovich once again resorted to the shark-killing tactic.

It didn't feel good in the first place, and the game was always interrupted.

In the end, the Lakers also suffered this defeat after the All-Star Game.

After the game ended, not only the players on the court, but also the fans felt that it was finally over.

A defeat is not a big problem for the Lakers.

But after returning to the locker room, there was a problem on Chen Tian's side.

A question that made the Lakers break out in a cold sweat.
