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

On the 17th, the second day of the playoffs, the Lakers will also face the seventh-ranked Trail Blazers at home.

At night, everyone in the Lakers also arrived early.

Because the playoffs have already started, everyone is tense.

Come to the arena early and conduct training to adapt to the venue.

And while the Lakers were training, a person also came to the Blazers.

Chen Tian didn't expect Lillard to come so early.

To say that the relationship between Chen Tian and Lillard is still good.

In particular, Chen Tian admired Lillard very much, so the two also established a good friendship during the game.

Seeing Lillard coming, Chen Tian also walked over.

After that, the two also chatted for a while while shooting.

For this loyal man, Chen Tian really admired him very much.

But in the same way, the Blazers did not lose Lillard.

Every year, the Blazers are trying to find ways to strengthen, so that Lillard can lead the team to win the championship.

But the Trail Blazers really don't attract big-name players.

So it's not that the pioneers are incompetent, it's that there is really no way.

But the Blazers also never thought about rebuilding.

As long as Lillard is in the Blazers, the Blazers will always be reinforcing.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the first playoff match between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers is about to start.

At this time, Staples still has the taste of Kobe's imminent retirement.

Everyone cheered after seeing Kobe.

Players from both teams play.

The Lakers' starting lineup is still Chen Tian and Kobe Bryant.

And the Blazers here.

Lillard, McCrum, Aminu, Maurice Harkless and Plumlee.

To say that the Blazers can make the playoffs this season is really amazing.

Just look at their lineup and you can see how good they are.

Besides Lillard, how can there be an All-Star level.

McCrum is still good, but he clearly hasn't fully developed his shooting ability.

So in this game, Monty is also going to let Chen Tianlai defend Lillard.

Of course, it wasn't like this from the beginning, after all, the team's offense still needed Chen Tian to organize it.

At this time, Jokic and Plumlee jumped the ball in the circle.

There was no suspense, Plumlee jumped the ball.

This phenomenon is already common to the current Lakers.

After all, Jokic jumped up, almost as if he didn't jump.

At the beginning of the game, Lillard took the lead when he came up, and scored the ball with a throw after the breakthrough.

This ball also hit the Lakers' unsteady foothold.

In turn, the Lakers side.

Anthony successfully won the scoring champion this season.

And it's very rich.

Because Curry can be said to be chasing after him.

So at this time, Anthony is said to be refreshed on happy occasions.

After Chen Tian came over with the ball, he also directly gave the ball to Anthony.

Facing Morris' defense, Anthony scored the ball with an easy jumper.

The score was 2:2 tied.

Next up is the performance of the Lakers.

It is still very easy for Jokic to deal with Plumlee in the paint.

After all, this guy Plumlee, that is, a spring man, is a player who eats cakes.

Jokic's dealing with such players should not be too simple.

So Monty also understands.

In the first quarter of the Lakers' game, it seemed that Chen Tian was in control of the overall situation, but it was Jokic who was connecting the team.

It can only be said that Chen Tian was too dazzling and blocked Jokic.

But Jokic is not a fool, he knows that only in this way can he exert his strength to a greater extent.

Jokic's series connection allowed Chen Tian to join the offense with confidence.

Anthony, Kobe and Chen Tian's trident attack.

It broke through the Blazers' defense in one fell swoop.

There is also a Matthew ready to shoot a three-pointer.

Soon the Lakers opened the score.

Monty is making substitutions in an orderly manner.

Whether Yi Jianlian, JR and others played, none of them had the same sense of tension as last season.

After the baptism of last season's finals, Jokic and others have gotten used to it a lot.

After the Lakers came off the bench, they still performed well.

Especially JR and Yi Jianlian, they cooperated continuously.

Yi Jian received JR's passes one after another, and dunked inside.

This surprised Chen Tian who was sitting off the court.

"I'll go, when will JR and Yi Jianlian get well?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Kobe and the others also shook their heads.

In fact, the answer is very simple. Originally, Yi Jianlian, JR and others were all on the bench.

After a long time, they talked a lot, and naturally it was different.

Yi Jianlian has now opened up his personality and started to talk.

Especially since he no longer needs to be the boss of the team, he can be said to be quite relaxed now.

Yi Jianlian's skills have also improved by leaps and bounds this season.

Totally captured his peak.

Outside shooting is also more stable.

It can be said that if Jokic and Yi Jianlian choose, Monty trusts Yi Jianlian more.

The substitute played pretty well.

It's okay for the Lakers to start here.

At halftime, the Lakers led by 14 points.

When the third quarter came back, Lillard started to play.

But Monty gave him a look, and Chen Tian immediately went to defend Lillard.

This once again cut off the Blazers' counterattack.

As Kobe received a pass and scored a layup.

The Lakers also opened the score to 20 points.

Monty even waved his hand and replaced all the starting players.

This game was played, that is, the Lakers dared to be so arrogant.

In the second half of the third quarter, all the substitutes were replaced directly.

But the Blazers are really disappointing.

Except for Lillard, no one in the team can help him.

McCrum's game is also a bit invisible.

The Warriors and Cavaliers who watched this game are also looking very ugly now.

Because they underestimated the strength of the Lakers.

Especially for the Warriors, after the early four games against the Lakers.

The team's winning streak made them a little swayed.

Seeing the performance of the Lakers, when thinking about them playing the Grizzlies, if it weren't for Ray Allen and Barnes to stand up.

They don't know when it's going to be.

In three and a half quarters, the Lakers had already clocked out of get off work.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 118:106 and won their first victory in the playoffs.

And the other three games tonight.

The Spurs and the Clippers, in the end the Spurs had the last laugh.

The Raptors and Pacers came up with the following gram.

The Pacers won their first win at home to the Raptors.

For the Hawks and Hornets, it was Horford's tip-off lore that won the game.

All the first games of the playoffs were over.
