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

After playing the Pistons, the Lakers rushed to Toronto non-stop.

Prepare to challenge the Raptors away.

This is the second time the two teams have met since the start of the season.

The starting lineups of the two teams have not changed much, that is, JR once again replaced Kobe in the starting lineup.

Kobe's back-to-back games this season, basically he would not participate if he could not participate.

So this season JR's playing time can be said to be quite a lot.

Soon the game between the two teams will start, and the game will be over.

The Lakers' eight-game streak leaves only three teams in the West.

Soon the game will begin.

The Raptors did not let Scola start this time.

Instead, Patrick Patterson was replaced at power forward.

Patterson has a decent outside shot.

Coupled with his flexibility, it is also arranged to defend Anthony.

Soon after the game started.

The Lakers took the lead here.

As soon as Chen Tian changed his previous style of connecting teams, after the opening game, Chen Tian took the lead in breaking out.

Facing Carroll's defense, Chen Tian also scored consecutive jump shots.

In this situation, the Raptors who just started were also a little confused.

They originally thought that the Lakers would still focus on Anthony.

But no one expected that Chen Tian would take the lead.

You know, this season, Chen Tian's statistics have dropped a lot.

Although he is now averaging a triple-double per game, Chen Tian's scoring has dropped too much.

This also made many people think that Chen Tian's scoring ability had begun to decline.

But at this moment, Chen Tian is going to tell you.

It's not that Lao Tzu's data has dropped, but that Lao Tzu doesn't want to score.

As long as I want, I can do it anytime.

Raptors coach Casey saw this scene and quickly called a timeout.

Because of the pre-match deployment, all of them failed.

After the timeout, Chen Tian was still on fire.

And the Raptors' offense is also playing well.

Lowry was extremely active in this game.

It can be clearly seen that the Raptors have begun to attack with Lowry as the leading force.

This effect is still good.

In the second quarter, the Raptors had a surprise player, and that was Rose.

This guy, Trossos, is pretty good.

Especially on offense.

But in terms of defense, Rose is really not very good.

In this game, the Raptors still have a big problem, that is, DeRozan's performance is really bad.

This also made the Lakers play against the Raptors throughout the game.

The Raptors, relying on the performance of Lowry and Rose, also fought the Lakers to the last quarter of the game.

But in the last quarter, Chen Tian started to play again.

Continuous breakthroughs and mid-range shots took the game down.

In the end, the Lakers won 102:93.

Eight consecutive away have also passed five games.

The remaining three games are all against Western Conference teams.

There are even strong teams like the Spurs and Rockets.

After the Toronto game, the Lakers rushed to Apollos without stopping.

Because this is the arena city of the Timberwolves.

And Minnesota is the name of the state.

After arriving in Apolis, everyone also went to the hotel to rest.

After all, everyone was exhausted from the eight consecutive away games.

Even Chen Tian persisted physically, but mentally he was exhausted.

So everyone can take a break, so let's take a break quickly.

After a day of rest, the game between the Lakers and Timberwolves is about to start.

The two teams had already played in the first game of the season.

So the Lakers still know the strength of the Timberwolves.

Towns and Russell do have potential, but they need time to practice.

So this season's Timberwolves still focus on training.

As for the record, as long as these two people play well, the record will naturally be there.

In this game, the Timberwolves replaced Noel's center position with Gion.

Not to mention that the cooperation between Gion and Downs is really good.

Both have shooting ability, so this also poses some threats to the Lakers.

On the Timberwolves side, the tactical awareness has obviously improved a lot.

It's no longer like the opening game with the Lakers, without any tactical cooperation.

Especially the cooperation between Towns and Rubio has become more and more tacit.

Russell and Noel on the bench are also good combat power.

The growth of the Timberwolves is obvious to all.

But in the whole game, the Timberwolves still didn't beat the Lakers.

In the first and second quarters, the two teams were still inseparable.

Especially the inside line of the Timberwolves caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

But there are still too many young players in the team.

They haven't developed the determination to win yet.

So in the third quarter, the Lakers suddenly rained three-pointers.

Chen Tianqian scored a three-pointer, which also opened the prelude to the rain of three-pointers.

After that, Anthony received the pass and scored two three-pointers.

Tucker also scored a three-pointer from the corner.

After that, Curry and Yi Jianlian also scored two three-pointers.

The score was pulled apart instantly.

After the score was drawn, the fighting spirit of these teenagers was not much left.

Because of the current Timberwolves, the team does not have a leader.

This also makes the Timberwolves' team culture still uncertain.

No one can stand up at the critical moment, so as long as the score is drawn, the team will immediately become a little decadent.

Although Garnett has been encouraging everyone.

But this is just a drop in the bucket.

Because you, a veteran who can't play, have always been in the chicken soup mode. As time goes by, not many people believe in it.

There were no surprises in the final game.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves gave up resistance.

The Lakers finally defeated the Timberwolves.

After winning the Timberwolves, the Lakers also ranked second in the Western Conference with a record of 22 wins and 2 losses.

The first is the Warriors, a team that only lost one game.

Chen Tian knew that the warrior of this season was in his previous life.

The record was 73 wins and 9 losses. Although he didn't win the championship in the end, he was ridiculed by everyone.

But this record is indeed real.

When Chen Tian thought of this, the Lakers might only be second this season if nothing else happened.

But it doesn't matter, the team won the championship is the best result.

After all, Anthony has been recruited, and the team is even stronger than last season.

If this fails to win the championship, it will really be a joke.

And just after the Lakers came to San Antonio.

It is also a day off, and then prepare to play against the Spurs.

The Spurs' record this season can be described as quite stable.

While the Lakers were resting, the TV station TNT opened a program.

The Lakers' dominance has declined in the new season.
