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

This pause was called very inexplicably.

Because from the beginning of the game to the present, the two teams are completely in a tug-of-war mode.

The Spurs couldn't defend the Lakers' forward line.

And the Lakers can't prevent the Spurs inside.

So in general, this pause should not occur.

But Popovich called it that.

What a weird trainer.

On the Lakers side, Monty and Kaleman couldn't figure out why the other party called this timeout.

Simply let the main force fight first and then talk.

Soon after the timeout ended, the two teams returned to the court.

I only saw a substitution on the Spurs side.

It is to replace Duncan with Anderson.

This substitution made Monty even more puzzled.

Because this completely gives up the strengths of the Spurs.

The advantage of the inside line is also gone.

But Chen Tian felt that something was wrong.

You must know that Anderson has the title of the essence of human creep.

Although the speed is extremely slow, his rhythm is very good.

He will not interrupt his offensive rhythm because of the defender.

So when Chen Tian saw this person coming up, he still felt a little wrong.

Anderson comes up, the main defense is Anthony.

Sure enough, Chen Tian's worries came true afterwards.

After Anderson came up, the Spurs' offense clearly began to focus on him.

This guy's singles against Anthony, although not fast, but the rhythm is really good.

Anthony's defense is also very difficult.

Seeing that it was time to stop, it was time to take off.

Anthony jumped up to defend, but Anderson hadn't jumped yet.

This directly caused Anthony's thug foul.

Anderson also went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Seeing this attack, Chen Tian felt something was wrong more and more deeply.

Anderson then backed Anthony again.

The result was another foul, and this time Anthony's mentality was a little out of balance.

Monty naturally saw this, and hurriedly replaced him.

Anthony was replaced by Yi Jianlian.

Tucker's injury still hit the Lakers' bench very hard.

You must know that Tucker is very important in the Lakers' tactics.

A person who has three-point ability and can defend from the first position to the fifth position.

Such a person is really important.

Popovich, who was on the side, saw that Anthony was off the court, and immediately smiled.

He knew that players like Chen Tian and Kobe wanted to get them off the field.

That's impossible, so we can only start from Anthony's side.

Chen Tian also did not expect that Popovich would make such a move.

But it doesn't matter either.

The biggest advantage of the Lakers this season is not Anthony.

After all, in the forward position, there are many better than Anthony.

The real strength of the Lakers is the thickness of the bench lineup.

For the Lakers this season, the bench lineup can be described as the deepest among all NBA teams.

So this is why Chen Tian feels indifferent.

Now that the Lakers have joined Yi Jianlian, the role of Anderson will disappear.

But Popovich was in no rush to replace Anderson.

Instead, Green was replaced and Ginobili was replaced.

Popovich is ready to open up the pass ball.

Back to the game.

Kobe on the Lakers side broke out at this time.

Facing Manu Ginobili's defense, Kobe also forced a shot and scored after consecutive tentative steps.

On the contrary, the Spurs just played the pass away.

All five players on the field can pass the ball.

All five have good passing ability.

So this also makes the Lakers' defense very difficult.

Then the second half of the first quarter.

The offense of the two teams was completely reversed.

The Lakers began to focus on the inside.

The Spurs started the tactic of passing the ball.

The tactics of the entire two teams were also reversed.

Soon the first quarter passed.

The Lakers and Spurs tied at 31:31.

The first quarter of the game between the two teams was very exciting.

The tactics executed by the players on the field are also very perfect.

But the faces of the head coaches on both sides showed different expressions.

Popovich is very happy here. Although there is no expression on his face, he is really happy in his heart.

At least in the first quarter, he completely beat Monty.

Monty, in turn, was not very happy.

After all, in the first quarter of the game, he didn't see Popovich's move.

So the head coaches of the two teams are also nervously arranging tactics.

Monty didn't want to have any problems in the second quarter.

Soon the second quarter began.

Both teams also let the substitutes come up to play first.

This time Monty didn't let Chen Tian rest.

Because he doesn't know what kind of tricks Popovich will show.

So let Chen Tian play, this is Monty's insurance.

The same is true for the Spurs, keeping Leonard on the court.

As soon as the Lakers had the ball, Chen Tian made an emergency mid-range shot.

But the ball was unlucky. After two laps on the basket, he failed to score.

David West at the basket grabbed the rebound.

After that, Dior took the ball, and a base chief passed the ball to Leonard. Leonard dunked the ball easily with one hand.

Needless to say, the Spurs' passing ability is really strong.

Everyone on the team can basically pass the ball, and they all pass it well.

In turn, Chen Tian also assisted Yi Jianlian and scored from the CIC.

After that, Chen Tian, ​​Curry Jr., Ginobili and Mills started the confrontation mode.

Ginobili Spirit Snake broke through and scored a layup.

It is indeed the demon sword of the Pampas Eagle.

Here, Chen Tian didn't give in too much, and the three surrounded him.

Score the ball with irregular shots.

After receiving the pass, Mills raised his hand for a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Chen Tian also assisted Curry and returned the favor.

As soon as the two teams came up in the second quarter, they all fired frequently from the outside.

Diaw has completely become a passing machine for the Spurs.

Wherever there is an open space, he will pass.

So in the second quarter, the two teams played evenly.

Soon as the game progressed, the head coaches of the two teams gradually replaced the main players of the teams.

At this time, Leonard of the Spurs began to play.

Chen Tian put a lot of pressure on defending Leonard this time.

This guy is worthy of the title of robot, and his shooting is so standard that it can't be standard.

Chen Tian was on the defensive, yet he was able to score.

The two teams also scored each other in the rest of the second quarter.

After holding back for so long, Anthony finally fired.

Consecutive shots and scoring also opened up the score with the Spurs a little.

At this time, the Spurs' Dinghaishenzhen, Duncan began to score in the paint.

The two teams are playing against each other.

At the end of the last half of the game, the Lakers temporarily led by one point at 56:55.
