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

To lose this match, it doesn't matter to Chen Tian.

It can even be said that it doesn't matter to the old people of the team.

But Brunson wasn't in a good mood.

Brunson, who returned to the locker room, was obviously in a low mood.

He now thinks that the team lost this game because of his poor performance.

After Chen Tian returned to the locker room, he naturally saw Brunson's downcast look.

Chen Tian also sat directly beside Brunson.

When Brunson saw the boss approaching, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Boss."

"Oh, please, don't laugh if you don't want to, it's too ugly."

As soon as Chen Tian said this, JR and the others who were very close to Brunson also laughed.

Chen Tian also waved his hand.

"Okay, hurry up and get out, rest well, if we lose again against the Suns, we really can't justify it."

When everyone heard Chen Tian's words, they all nodded seriously.

That's right, losing to the Spurs is fine.

But if they lose to the Suns, then they may really have a problem.

The Suns have changed a lot this season, but there is still a certain gap between their strength and the Lakers.

The difference between a team whose goal is the playoffs and a team whose goal is the finals can be seen at a glance.

Soon everyone left one after another.

Only Chen Tian and Brunson were left in the locker room.

"Boss..."

Just as Brunson was about to say something, he was interrupted by Chen Tian.

"The Lakers choose you, I decided, I think you should know about it!"

Brunson nodded when he heard this.

"I chose you because I am optimistic about your potential, and I know you are a hard-working player!"

"As long as you are given a chance, you will definitely seize it!"

"But no one expected the opportunity to come so quickly, let alone you, even I didn't expect it!"

"According to my plan, I want you to experience the atmosphere of the NBA arena!"

"The ones who will enter the rotation after the All-Star game!"

"But that's how things are, plans can never keep up with the speed of change!"

"Don't think so much, losing a game will never be your problem, but the core problem of my team!"

"Your task now is very simple, that is to seize this opportunity. I hope that you will have an unexpected performance in the next game against the Suns!"

After saying these words, Chen Tian also stood up.

"I will suggest to the coach to let you start the next game."

After speaking, Chen Tian left.

When Brunson heard Chen Tian's last words, his heart was surging.

Seeing Chen Tian's back, Brunson also swore secretly.

"Boss, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

After saying this, Brunson also took the ball to the training hall.

Chen Tian would never have thought that just because of these few words of his, he took in another loyal younger brother.

After losing this game, the outside world is not so optimistic about whether the Lakers can win the championship this season.

After all, for the Lakers this season, their dominance is fading little by little.

This is also a very normal thing.

As the Lakers' tactics were figured out by other teams, tactics against the Lakers gradually came out.

Even many teams have one set of tactics that are used against other teams, and another set that is used against the Lakers.

So the decline of the Lakers' dominance is a normal law.

After a day off, the Lakers also came to the away game in Phoenix.

They are about to challenge the Suns away.

Monty accepted Chen Tian's suggestion, and this game also put Brunson on the starting list.

And Brunson also glanced at Chen Tian gratefully.

Seeing Chen Tian smiling at him, Brunson also vowed to fight this match well.

Soon the players of the two teams also came to the field.

When Chen Tian saw the lineup on the opposite side, he was really full of talent.

The center is Dragan Bender. This is a talented center, but he has not been able to play because of injuries.

This season is basically his last chance. If he still can't realize his talent, then his career in the Suns will almost come to an end.

Needless to say, Green, Tatum, and Booker.

Rubio, who is in possession of the ball, is also an experienced veteran.

To say that the biggest success of the Suns offseason is to win Rivers.

The champion coach also became the head coach of the Suns.

To say that Rivers' coaching team in the NBA is really popular.

Just because he was won by a black coach, his prestige among black players is still very high.

Because of this, he has never lacked a coaching seat.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

For this game, Rivers' confidence is still very strong.

After all, the new season has just started, and the Lakers are short of major generals.

Anthony still needs a month to come back, and Rose also needs to rest for two weeks.

For such a Lakers team, Rivers doesn't believe that he can't win it.

But after the game started, the Lakers gave Rivers a loud slap in the face.

After the game started, Chen Tian hit the basket for layups to score points.

The Suns' interior defense is simply useless.

Green came over to help defend, but it was still useless.

This made Rivers quickly call a timeout.

Green also shouted a little angrily.

"What are you doing! Defense! Don't you even know how to defend!"

Green also yelled at Bender.

In fact, let alone Green, even Booker and others are a little dissatisfied.

To say that Green came to the sun, it still feels good.

Because this is a team full of talents, everyone can see the talents of Booker and Tatum.

Not surprisingly, this team will become a strong team in the West in two seasons.

But this is how it started, how could Green not be angry.

Rivers also hurriedly replaced, replacing Richard Holmes.

This is a stocky inside player with good defense.

Sure enough, after replacing Richard En, the tactics on the Sun's side also started.

Under the tandem of Green and Rubio, Booker and Tatum also broke out.

Afterwards, Chen Tian and the two also fought against each other.

The fans at home saw Booker and Tatum fight Chen Tian evenly.

The fans in the audience also cheered.

But soon Jokic also stood up, which made the sun a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Green went to defend Jokic in time.

I have to say that a player like Green really defends from position one to position five.

At the end of the half, the Lakers led by just four points 57:53.

The performance of the Suns in the first half was really beyond Chen Tian's expectations.

The sun has really risen.

Rivers was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

Especially the performance of the Big Three can be said to be perfect.

It also proves that his tactics are effective.

But soon after the second half of the game started, the person Chen Tian had been looking forward to stood up.

Brunson first hit the basket and caused Richain's foul, and scored 2+1.

With this goal scored, the entire Lakers bench went crazy.

Chen Tian also gave Brunson a thumbs up when he saw it.

Brunson scored the goal and shouted excitedly.

The next game time officially entered Brunson's time.

Chen Tian attracted the defense and passed the ball to Brunson.

After Brunson clicked, he scored a three-pointer directly.

Then he intercepted Green's pass on the defensive end, and then scored a layup by himself.

Monty watched from the sidelines dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect Brunson's rise to be so fast.

Brunson suddenly stood up and broke all of Rivers' arrangements.

The key is that Brunson's touch is fully played.

Throughout the third quarter, Brunson was simply possessed by Chen Tian.

No matter how you fight.

The Lakers also took advantage of the entire opportunity to open the score in the third quarter.

This made Rivers speechless.

When it came to the fourth quarter, Chen Tian thought that the sun would give up.

But unexpectedly, under the encouragement of Green, the team started to fight back.

Even with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Suns recovered the point difference to 7 points.

For a time, they saw the hope of recovering.

But this game is destined to be Brunson's battle of fame.

Brunson stepped up again.

After receiving a pass from Jokic, he slid to the bottom line and scored a layup.

Then it was a super long three-pointer.

This made Chen Tian dumbfounded when he saw it.

Let you perform well, not let you perform supernaturally.

But no matter what, Brunson's outbreak allowed the Lakers to lock in the victory of this game.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 109:101.

After the whole game, Brunson contributed 27 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

When the red light came on at the end of the game, Brunson's eyes also turned red.

Chen Tian also came over.

Brunson and Chen Tian also hugged.

Chen Tian could clearly hear Brunson's words of thanks.

"Congratulations, your NBA journey has officially begun."
