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

"The first quarter of the match between the two teams has already raised the level of excitement!"

"But Paul's lack of composure in the first quarter made their good situation suddenly stalemate!"

"So Paul must calm down next!"

"Only with him on the court, the team's chances of winning will be greater."

Kenny also analyzed at the end of the first quarter.

"Chen Tian has an absolute advantage in the psychological warfare in the first quarter!"

"He completely broke Paul's mentality, allowing Paul to receive a technical foul in the first quarter!"

"This will definitely become a variable for the future games!"

"So the result of this game is really unpredictable."

O'Neill also said on the side.

For the Celtics and Lakers this season, fans on both sides know what they're aiming for.

Especially the Celtics, they formed a strong starting team of superstars.

If they don't make it to the Finals this season, it's their failure.

Maybe during the offseason, the team will make certain changes.

It is understandable to say that they can't beat the Lakers, after all, it is already a big mountain in the entire league.

Everyone wants to turn over, but who has succeeded?

But the Celtics are different from other teams.

Both Lin Sen and Jaylen Brown are still very young.

They have a lot of time to make history.

So the Celtics can afford to wait.

As long as they can pull God down, they are victorious.

On the bench side of the two teams, the head coach is also arranging tactics.

For this game, both Monty and Stevens felt a lot of pressure.

Because it doesn't matter against other teams.

But only against this opponent, their pressure is enormous.

For Stevens, the pressure on him was already very high.

After all, there is no need to say more about the strength of the Lakers.

And Monty felt the pressure from the opposite side in the first quarter.

Whether the Celtics are attacking or defending, they are fully prepared.

After Monty thought for a while, he also knew that there was going to be a strange move in this game.

For Monty, the team's biggest killer is not Chen Tian's outburst, but the few people sitting at the team's water cooler.

In fact, it seems that the Lakers' current dominance has declined.

But only the inside of the Lakers knows that the current 15-man roster of the Lakers is really all immediate combat power.

Brunson, Robinson, Isaiah and others sitting below are all available on the court.

But Monty wasn't in a hurry, after all, it's only been a quarter now.

Soon the second quarter of the two teams also came back.

The Celtics kept Paul and Griffin on the court.

And Monty didn't dare to be careless anymore, so he let Chen Tian stay on the court.

Don't let the Lakers players rely on Chen Tian, ​​but it doesn't prove that Chen Tian's playing time will be reduced forever.

Against such a team, if Chen Tian was not allowed to play, he would really be courting death.

The Celtics let Paul and Griffin come up because the two have been teammates, and the tacit understanding is still possible.

Sure enough, when the game came back in the second quarter, Paul assisted Griffin and succeeded in an alley dunk.

But on the other hand, Chen Tian also received the pass, flew up and directly dunked Tas.

Tas also turned his back, and it happened to be the time when Chen Tianfei flew up when he came back to defend.

Then he was directly blocked.

After that, Paul's organization was still in place.

After consecutive screens, there was an open space on Hunter's side, and Paul immediately passed the ball to Hunter's side with a fake throw.

But this ball was seen through by Chen Tian, ​​Chen Tian jumped up and broke the ball.

"Counterattack!"

Chen Tian let out a roar, and the entire Lakers team rushed up immediately.

When Chen Tian saw Rose's position, he also directly passed the ball across the field and directly passed it to Rose.

Rose also scored an easy layup.

"It's so beautiful. Chen Tian has shown his strength on both offense and defense."

Seeing this scene from the sidelines, Stevens frowned and shook his head.

Then Brown is also ready to return to the field.

In an instant, Ojelai was called and he replaced Griffin.

Monty nodded when he saw Stevens' substitution.

Monty really studied Ojelay.

There is nothing outstanding about this player, but he is strong.

He is a stocky forward with a good defensive attitude.

Stevens' intention to make this substitution was very obvious, to limit Chen Tian's performance.

Monty would not sit still, he also called Isaiah.

Then he said something in Isaiah's ear, patted Isaiah on the shoulder, and let him get ready to play.

"Hey, are the Lakers planning to replace Isaiah?"

"This substitution is really a bit of a surprise."

Taking advantage of the dead ball, both teams made substitutions.

After the two teams changed players, the tactics on both sides also changed.

On the Celtic side, because of the small lineup, they started to speed up.

The Lakers played out the outside offense.

Ojeleye has worked really hard on defense.

But his height is a flaw.

Ojelai is 2 meters tall, but Isaiah is 01 meters tall.

So Isaiah's shooting is not something that Ojeleye can defend at all.

This time Stevens also knew that he had miscalculated.

But there is no way, there are only so many people in the team, and there are only so many available.

Here Isaiah received a pass again and scored a three-pointer from the outside.

"Oh, Coach Monty, I love you so much!"

"Your replacement was really timely."

With Monty's witty substitutions, the Lakers also took the lead on the field.

But in the second half of the second quarter, the starting players of both teams also returned to the field.

So the situation returned to the feeling of the first quarter.

The only difference is that under the tandem of Paul, the Celtics played more smoothly.

Lin Sen received a pass from Paul and easily scored the ball inside.

Paul passed the ball backwards from his crotch, and Griffin received the ball and easily made an open shot.

Brown's dry shot also scored steadily.

This time the morale of the Celtics improved.

But the Lakers will definitely not sit still.

As a dynasty team, they have seen too many such game scenes.

So Chen Tian and Jokic began to take over the team's organizational offense.

Tucker in the bottom corner received the pass and scored a three-pointer.

On the defensive end, Chen Tian blocked Brown's layup.

The Lakers counterattacked, and Anthony flew up his hands and dunked the ball vigorously.

Lin Sen's inside singles were cut off by Matthew.

The Lakers counterattacked again, Chen Tian resisted the defense of Griffin and Brown, made an abrupt layup and made a 2+1.

When the goal was scored, Chen Tian roared as he lay on the ground.

Chen Tian scored this goal, and the Lakers' bench celebrated excitedly.

"Chen Tian, ​​that God, he stood up again and saved the Lakers."

With such a performance, the Lakers abruptly suppressed the Celtics' counterattack.

After that, the offense of the two teams also fell into a tug-of-war.

Stevens saw the team's counterattack being suppressed from the sidelines, which also slowed down the team's offense.

Playing fast is not a good option for them.

After all, no one can defend against Chen Tian's impact.

Some people even speculated whether Chen Tian's fast attack, Jordan and Kobe, could be defended.

The final result given is that it cannot.

This also shows how powerful Chen Tian's impact is.

With Lin Sen and Griffin, the Celtics don't need to increase their speed.

Stevens is absolutely right about this.

After the Celtics slowed down, they immediately played back and forth with the Lakers.

Jokic hit Lin Sen with his back inside, turned around and scored with a fadeaway shot.

On the other hand, Lin Sen immediately turned around after hitting his back, and then directly jumped up and clapped his hands.

The two center forwards are also facing each other at this time.

Lin Sen's dominance in the three-second zone and Jokic's all-round scoring ability also formed a contrast.

Lin Sen's scoring ability in the three-second zone can be said to be unmatched by anyone now.

But Jokic's touch is soft, which is different from Lin Sen's unreasonable turning and shooting.

Under absolute defense, Jokic can still score the ball.

This proves how strong Jokic's shooting and muscle memory are.

In the final stage of the second quarter, the duel between the two major centers made the fans on the scene very excited.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers temporarily led the Celtics by four points 64:60.

"Now I really admire Coach Monty!"

"Coach Monty's simple substitution turned the entire game around!"

"The rhythm that was originally in the hands of the Celtics was snatched by the Lakers!"

"After the entire second quarter, the Lakers firmly controlled the rhythm of the court. Coach Monty was really amazing."

O'Neal also said excitedly after the second quarter.

"That's right, if the Lakers overtook the score and then stabilized the situation, it was at that time that they made a substitution!"

"I have to say that Coach Monty is really bold, and the replacement Isaiah is also good!"

"After Isaiah played, he didn't have any stage fright, and he seized every opportunity!"

"It can be said that Coach Monty is very good at training players."

Barkley couldn't help but praise Coach Monty.

And Kenny said helplessly when he heard what Barkley and O'Neal said.

"You all praise Coach Monty, so I can only talk about Coach Stevens!"

"Actually, Coach Stevens did a good job in the second quarter!"

"At halftime, the gap between them and the Lakers is only four points!"

"For the Celtics team, the difference of four points is not very big!"

"It can even be said that Lin Sen's two simple hooks can smooth it out!"

"But I still have to say, be careful of Chen Tian's explosion in the third quarter!"

"If it can't be blocked, then the meaning of this game will not be great."

"Kenny's words are very true!"

"So for the Celtics' test, the second half is the real start."
