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

The November schedule ended after the game against the Lone Ranger.

After the match between the two teams, Chen Tian also found Nowitzki.

After this game, there is only one game left for the Lakers to face the Lone Ranger this season.

And with the current goals of the Mavericks, there may be absolutely no chance of them entering the playoffs.

Therefore, on the court, the number of times he faced Nowitzki is only a handful.

When Nowitzki hugged Chen Tian, ​​he was still very grateful for the gift from the Lakers.

For Nowitzki, his career has been perfect.

There are not too many championships, and there is no such luxurious retirement tour as Kobe.

But the NBA will always remember that Nowitzki led the Mavericks to the first championship in team history.

After the November schedule ends, the next December schedule will begin.

At the beginning of December, the Lakers really had two tough games.

The opponents are still the same team, and that is the Spurs.

The Lakers played once at home and once again on the road.

When Chen Tian saw the schedule, he felt a little disgusted.

"This is really going to be arranged. What kind of schedule is this?"

Chen Tian also couldn't help complaining.

Zhou Ling'an on the side covered her mouth and laughed when she heard Chen Tian's words.

"It's true, last season was the Warriors, this season it's the Spurs."

Chen Tian thought for a while.

"This is not a good thing, the game against the Spurs in December is all over!"

"What the Spurs will be like after that, we really don't know!"

"When the time comes to enter the playoffs, if our two teams meet, we need to get familiar with each other first."

"Husband, it's not that exaggerated. If you change the overall style of the team, you still can't change it."

Hui Ruoqi on the side also said.

"Thinking too much, for head coaches like Popovich and Monty, you can change anytime you want!"

"Looking at the Lakers this season, we changed our tactics in an instant and used Jokic as the core of the team!"

"You see these are the tactics of the Spurs now, but Popovich has been in the NBA for so many years, it is impossible not to have a killer in his hand!"

"It's just to see if the players can perform."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ling'an on the side nodded.

"This is too troublesome. Although it is the three major ball games, volleyball is much simpler than basketball and football."

Hui Ruoqi on the side also said.

Chen Tian agrees with this.

"That's for sure. If you compare basketball with football, it's not the same level!"

"There are bigger changes in football."

"Hey, no matter what, after a game, you will understand more or less."

Zhou Ling'an also said on the side.

Chen Tian wasn't that worried, but the duel with the Spurs was really tight.

Chen Tian was sure that after the two matches, the two sides would never want to see any of their opponents again.

……

On the second day, the team also conducted a certain amount of training.

Now the team's tactics based on Jokic have completely liberated Chen Tian's offense.

And the Lakers also ushered in good news, that is, Anthony can come back in tomorrow's game against the Suns.

That's great for the Lakers.

Although Anthony has experienced a serious injury this time, his shooting is still very much needed by the Lakers.

And Monty also did Anthony's ideological work, let him look for status on the bench now.

For this, Anthony did not refuse.

He also knows that it will take him a long time to find his form.

But in today's training, Anthony's shooting is still very good.

Especially the shots from the two bottom corners are basically perfect.

This reassured the entire Lakers team a lot.

At least Anthony's personal status is still good.

As for the competitive state, it needs game after game to recover.

……

At nine o'clock in the evening of the second day, the Lakers' December schedule is about to begin.

And the first opponent in December is the newly-emerged Suns this season.

The Suns this season have really become a spoiler in the West.

Their combination with Booker, Tatum and Green as the core can be said to play quite well.

Throughout November, their winning percentage reached 11%.

And the team's offensive efficiency is also ranked sixth in the NBA.

It is conceivable how luxurious the Suns' offense is this season.

But the defense of the Suns team is still a bit problematic.

The players on the team who attack more than defend are a bit too right.

Booker and Tatum are both offensive and defensive players.

And Green's defense is excellent.

But Rubio's defense, and the team's defense at the center position, the Suns are not doing very well.

And Bender, who had had high hopes, is now thrown into limbo by Rivers.

The team's current center position is held by Richard Holmes.

But this guy is a stocky center forward, he is only 2 meters tall.

So this is also very detrimental to the Suns' rebounding.

Fortunately, Green was there to help.

Now the Suns are also studying players for trading.

They desperately need a defensive center right now.

In the evening, there were no absentees at the Sky Arena.

At this time, the players of the two teams are also doing warm-up exercises on the court.

The fans who entered the stadium screamed when they saw Anthony wearing training clothes and shooting there.

The game between the two teams will soon begin.

Jokic and Richard En also stood in the middle circle.

This time Jokic jumped the ball by virtue of his height and arm length.

Pure bullying.

After the game started, Rose came over with the ball and gave the ball to Jokic.

Jokic got the ball and didn't rush to attack, but looked at everyone's position.

Here, Tucker covered Chen Tian, ​​and Chen Tian immediately threw off the defense, and directly cut into the inside lane.

Joki understood it with one heart, and gave the ball to Chen Tian with a ground pass.

Chen Tian got the ball and flew away from Richard En's defense, and easily scored with a layup.

The goal was scored, and the cheers from this side of the field also rang out.

Conversely, whether it was Booker or Tatum, neither of them had a one-on-one with Chen Tian.

This made Chen Tian see that they had changed a lot.

If this had happened in the last season, the two would have had a one-on-one with Chen Tian long ago.

The Suns have Green and Rubio, two good passers, so there is no need to worry about offense.

Green and Rubio's tandem, in the end Booker scored an easy layup.

After that, it was time for the two teams to start a tug-of-war.

Chen Tian scored with a fallback jumper.

Tatum also ran back to catch the ball, retreated and pierced the net with a three-pointer.

Jokic sat on Richaun inside, swaying his feet continuously, and easily scored the ball.

In turn, Booker's touch tonight is also very good.

Facing Tucker's defense, a three-pointer with a step back is also a hit.

This allowed the two teams to lead alternately.

No one expected that the Suns would be reborn so quickly this season.

But with 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the Lakers also made substitutions.

After Anthony experienced a serious injury, he also returned to the court.

Neither Jokic nor Chen Tian ended up, and the two of them used this method to welcome Anthony's return.

At this moment, all the fans stood up and applauded Anthony.

After Anthony played, he also hugged Chen Tian and Jokic.

Jokic took the ball here, and Chen Tian also went to cover for Anthony.

Anthony threw off the defense, and Jokic passed the ball immediately.

Anthony shot directly from outside the three-point line, but the ball did not score.

It may be because he just played, Anthony's touch is not so good yet.

The fans in the audience also made regretful voices.

Anthony also spread his hands.

But in turn, the Suns' offense was also defended by the Lakers.

Then the Lakers counterattacked, and Chen Tian hit the basket with the ball. It was originally an easy layup.

But when Chen Tian saw Anthony in the bottom corner, he also flew up and passed the ball.

Anthony who received the ball was also taken aback.

But Anthony still went up and down, and shot the ball from outside the three-point line.

When the ball was thrown, all the Lakers' benches stood up.

This time Anthony did not let them down, and the ball went into the net firmly and hollowly.

The goal was scored, and the cheers of the audience resounded.

All the fans in the stadium were shouting there.

Anthony scored the goal and looked very excited.

This is the first goal scored after returning from injury.

Monty, who was watching from the sidelines, also nodded.

It can be seen that Anthony still has no psychological pressure.

This way he can rest assured a lot.

After all, the Lakers don't have many stable scoring points now, so it's a good thing that Anthony can come back.

In the following time, the match between the two teams continued.

Over time, Anthony's shortcomings were exposed.

That is, he has not played for a long time, and his defense has directly retreated to before coming to the Lakers.

And when laying up, it was obvious that he was a little weak.

Fortunately, at the end of halftime, the Lakers were already leading by 7 points.

In the second quarter, the Suns felt down from the outside, and the offense inside was not so good, so the Lakers opened the score.

For the current Suns, strengthening the inside line is simply the number one priority.

The two teams came back in the second half of the game.

The Lakers began to defend the Sun's perimeter offense.

This hindered the offense of Booker and Tatum.

However, Green and Rubio did not have many offensive methods.

This time the sun is also in trouble.

The Lakers took the opportunity to attack with a wave, directly pulling the score to double digits.

Seeing the situation on the court, Rivers fell into deep thought.

There is no problem with the team's tactics, the only thing to be solved is the inside line.

Originally, he wanted to bring Jordan over, but the Clippers were not interested in the Sun's offer.

So it was a headache for him.

In any case, it doesn't matter if you lose this game, but the team must strengthen the center forward.

And in this game, in the case of the Lakers' zone defense, the Suns failed to break through the zone defense and lost this game.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 113:99.

Anthony played 20 minutes and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. This result is already good.
