NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 235 I hope we can meet in Los Angeles

After communicating with Randall, the two met to practice together the next day.

Of course, Su Tian didn't just want to accompany Randall, Su Tian also wanted to allow himself to integrate the magician's star card as soon as possible.

The magician's star card is too strong, and Su Tian estimates that it will take a long time to complete the fusion.

After the training, Randall and Su Tian sat and chatted.

"Su, do you still remember that kid James Young?" Randall said while wiping his sweat.

"Of course I remember, he seems to have gone to the Bucks this offseason." Su Tian replied.

"Yes, the training camp contract signed with the Bucks in September, but was cut some time ago." Randall said.

"Cut off?"

Su Tian couldn't help but think of the season when he first entered the NBA. When he went to play in Boston, James Young invited him to dinner.

"In our team back then, you were the best now. He didn't dare to tell you. After all, he was the No. 17 pick in the first round of the draft. He felt a bit ashamed of himself." Randall sighed.

"Then where is he going now? Is there a next home?"

"Not yet, I heard that he is still in contact with other teams."

After saying this, the two of them didn't speak any more, and fell into a period of silence.

"Julius, if he hasn't been found yet, let him come to the Lakers for a trial training. Although I don't know if it will succeed, at least I can give him a chance." Su Tian turned to Randall and said.

"Okay, I'll tell him right now," Randall said.

Randall's words reminded Su Tian of James Young, a former teammate. James Young's shooting was okay, but his defense and ball handling were not qualified. Even if he came to the Lakers, he was just a drinking fountain administrator.

Of course, if you can practice defense, it should be enough to be a 3D.

On October 10, the Lakers continued to sit at home and ushered in the Detroit Pistons.

Compared with the Lakers, the advantage of the Pistons lies in rebounding. Su Tian doesn't know why, although Lopez is so tall and a big man, his rebounding is a mess.

Maybe this is the punishment for having three-point ability.

The Lakers' starting lineup for this game is still Ball, Su Tian, ​​Ingram, Larry Nance, and Lopez.

The Pistons started with Reggie Jackson, Avery Bradley, Stanley Johnson, Tobias Harris, and Andre Drummond.

Soon, the game started, and the Pistons easily won the opening ball.

Reggie Jackson advanced with the ball to move the frontcourt, first asked Harris to pick and roll, used the pick and roll to break through the basket to attract Lopez's help defense, passed the ball to Drummond, and Drummond scored a layup.

0-2
The Pistons felt good at the beginning, of course, the main problem is that Ball's defense was easily broken by Reggie.

The ball is switched, and it's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Ball came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball steadily to Su Tian.

With the deepening of the schedule, Ball's passing has become more and more stable in these games, at least he will not be easily intercepted by his opponent.

Su Tian got the ball, faced Bradley, and called Lopez to come up for the pick-and-roll.

Su Tian made a direct breakthrough with the help of the pick-and-roll, Drummond stepped forward to assist in the delay, Su Tian took the opportunity to break through to the basket again and made a direct layup.

2-2
Now all the teams defending Su Tian have to face a problem. When Su Tian and Lopez cooperate in the pick-and-roll, should the big center go out.

If the center goes out to defend Lopez for a three-pointer, Su Tian can easily lay up. If the big center doesn't go out, Lopez can make an open shot.

Of course, if the defender chooses to go around, Su Tian will directly shoot a three-pointer.

In this case, unless the speed and reaction of the big center are very fast, it is difficult to guard against.

As for the Pistons, they were facing such troubles throughout the first quarter.

Drummond's rebounding is really good, and his defense is also good, but facing the defender Su Tian, ​​his speed seems to be much slower, and he can't keep up with Su Tian's breakthrough at all.

But when Drummond couldn't come out, Su Tian shot mid-range or passed the ball to Lopez.

So, 33-23 in the first quarter, the Lakers led by 10 points in a single quarter.

After gaining the lead in the first quarter, Su Tian began to change his style of play. In the second quarter, he mainly passed the ball to assist his teammates.

After halfway through the second quarter, Su Tian was replaced by the coach. After the absence of Su Tian in the second quarter, although the Lakers' offense was not so smooth at the beginning, they still maintained the situation on the court.

At the end of the first half, the score came to 58-45, and the Lakers led by 13 points at halftime.

During the halftime break, Wharton didn't arrange any special tactics, but emphasized to listen to Su Tian's command.

Soon, the third quarter began, and the Lakers began to rotate players.

Su Tian, ​​Pope, Kuzma, Randall, Larry Nance.

The Pistons are behind, and the full main lineup is on.

Before going on the court, Su Tian found Randall, "Julius, when I pass the ball to you later, I will make a decisive shot. Don't be afraid of missing the shot."

Although Randall didn't know why Su Tian was there, he nodded. Randall knew that Su Tian would not harm him.

The first ball was given to the Lakers in the third quarter, and Su Tian advanced with the ball.

After coming to the front court, he signaled Randall to step forward to pick and roll, and Su Tian directly picked and rolled to make a breakthrough.

Su Tian's breakthrough speed was not fast, and he successfully attracted a double team, so Su Tian passed the ball from behind to Randall who was emptied at the top of the arc.

Randall caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

With Su Tian's addition, Randall's three-pointers are also quite accurate.

61-45
The ball is switched, and the Pistons attack.

Reggie wanted to break through Su Tian's defense with the ball, but he didn't pay attention for a while and was intercepted by Su Tian.

Su Tian immediately started the fast break with the ball, and Randall, who was paying attention to Su Tian at all times, followed suit.

Reggie followed closely behind Su Tian, ​​and the two came to the basket all the way. Su Tian pretended to take off for a layup, shook Reggie who was chasing him, and then passed the ball to Randall who was keeping up, and Randall received it. The ball was dunked directly.

63-45
Randall, who scored consecutively, seemed very excited, and took the initiative to find Su Tian to give high fives to celebrate.

As the No. 7 lottery pick, Randall has no doubts about his athletic ability and drive, but he lacks a "Su Tian" leader.

With Randall's dunks succeeding, the Lakers' morale was instantly lifted when they just played.

Morale is a thing that ebbs and flows. When the Lakers rise, the Pistons will naturally fall.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian not only assisted Randall, but also assisted other teammates, making the Pistons completely unable to find the focus of defense.

Halfway through the third quarter, Su Tian rested again to prepare for the fourth quarter.

At this time, Randall had already played well, and Wharton did not replace him, choosing to let Randall play a few more.

Randall also lived up to expectations, and he did perform better than usual when playing confidently. Although he also contributed 2 turnovers, Walton was very satisfied with the momentum of this game.

Soon, the third quarter ended, the score came to 87-72, and the Lakers led by 15 points.

After Randall came down, he sat directly next to Su Tian.

"How is it, Julius, is it much better than before?" Su Tian said with a smile.

"Of course! Sue, thank you so much! Thank you for your advice and those passes." Randall was very emotional, and it was obvious that he was open today.

Su Tian is also very happy to see his old friend's performance. Now as long as he shows his confidence first, he will not be afraid of not having the opportunity to perform later.

The rest time between festivals passed quickly, and the fourth quarter began, and the time for Su Tian's performance was coming.

In the first three quarters, Su Tian still had a lot of opportunities to shoot himself, but he chose to assist his teammates, so the scoring data is not very good now, but the assists have reached 10.

In the fourth quarter, the Pistons attacked first, and Bradley advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. When he saw Su Tianchong himself, he directly chose to pass the ball to Harris on the side.

Harris got the ball, chose to break through directly, and came to the middle distance to make an emergency stop and jump shot.

boom--

The shot hit the iron, but the rebound was taken by Drummond, and Drummond made another layup.

The basketball hit the rim twice, but it still bounced out.

Just when Drummond wanted to grab the rebound again, Su Tian broke through and jumped out from the side, grabbing the rebound.

Originally, Su Tian's rebounding attribute was as high as 91 points, but now after the addition of the king of the last quarter, it directly reaches 109 points!

If it weren't for the difference in height and position from Drummond, it is estimated that Su Tian is better at rebounding than Drummond at this moment.

Su Tian, ​​who successfully grabbed the rebound, quickly pushed and switched, and came to the frontcourt first. Because he didn't need to take care of his teammates at this time, Su Tian was very fast, and no one on the Pistons could react.

Su Tian came to the basket in the front court, directly collected the ball and took off, and with a bang, he dunked with both hands.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Su Tian dedicated a one-stop game to the audience, once again verifying the title of "King of the Last Quarter".

There were also bursts of cheers at the Staples scene.

"Su! MVP! Su! MVP!"

"King of the last days! King of the last days! King of the last days!"

89-72
The Pistons organized an offense again. This time Harris was much smarter. He brought Kuzma, who was defending himself, to the low post, received the ball and hit back directly.

After consecutive post-ups, Harris turned around and shot.

Swah——

Harris made a shot and Kuzma looked helpless.

The ball is switched, and it's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball and called his teammates for a pick-and-roll. Bradley, who was defending Su Tian, ​​chose to go around the back.

Perhaps Bradley felt that Su Tian was exhausted a lot and his shooting percentage might drop, or he wanted to better defend Su Tian's breakthrough.

No matter what Bradley thought, Su Tian accepted the three-pointer with a smile.

Swah——

Su Tian made a direct three-pointer.

92-72
At this time, the point difference has come to 20 points, the scene once again cheered, and Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy called a timeout.

The Pistons couldn't stop Su Tian who stepped up his offense, because no one on the outside could match Su Tian.

When the timeout ended and the two sides played again, the Pistons had already taken all the main players.

Obviously Van Gundy didn't want to admit defeat so easily.

The Pistons had the ball, and Reggie held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Facing Su Tian, ​​who was defending him, Reggie didn't dare to overdo it and passed the ball to Bradley.

At this time, Bradley was facing Clarkson and directly chose to break through. Although Clarkson was thin, he was not slow to follow Bradley.

The two came to the basket all the way. Bradley wanted to make a layup. Although he made the shot successfully, the accuracy was too poor. With Su Tian's vision and rebounding ability, Bradley made a layup the moment he made the shot. Feel it, the ball can't go in.

boom--

As expected, Bradley made a solid shot.

Su Tian attacked quickly and successfully grabbed the rebound again.

Su Tian started the fast break with the ball again.

Reggie's speed and reaction were faster than Bradley's, barely keeping up with Su Tian.

The other Lakers players also turned their heads and made a fast break the moment Su Tian took the rebound.

Because Su Tian's passing is very accurate and fast, basically during the fast break, the fastest runner is the easiest to score.

It was an easy ball to receive a pass from Su Tian, ​​so everyone rushed to it.

The fastest runner this time was Kuzma. Su Tian saw the timing and sent a long-distance ground pass directly to Kuzma.

Kuzma caught the ball and dunked it directly.

Easy and happy to score 2 points.

Seeing Kuzma's happy expression, the other Lakers players who were playing fast break secretly thought it was a pity.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian still focused on his own offense and supplemented by passing. After several consecutive rounds, Su Tian scored 30 points. At this time, half of the fourth quarter was over, and Van Gundy called again. paused.

At this time, the point difference has stabilized at 20+, and Van Gundy didn't want to continue to struggle, so he replaced all the main players and let the bench have fun.

Wharton also replaced the main force and readily accepted the opponent's surrender.

In the end, the game ended, the Lakers easily won the Pistons 115-93, and successfully won the opening 7 consecutive victories!

苏天全场拿到32分13助攻10篮板3抢断1盖帽，再次拿到三双数据！
However, Su Tian was not very lucky. Last season, Westbrook averaged a triple-double, which depreciated the triple-double.

Randall played very well in this game. With the help of Su Tian, ​​he scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. He was the player with the highest score on the bench.

But Randall is also a pity, because Larry Nance did not play badly in this game, scoring 14 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, which is the Lakers' most rebounds.

Under the leadership of Su Tian, ​​the entire Lakers team scored in double figures with a total of 7 players. The Lakers' quick hit whirlwind successfully smashed the Motor City Pistons.

After the game against the Pistons, the Lakers' game in October is all over.

However, because the league has revised its system, the best players in the first month will be selected only after October and November have been played.

Therefore, Su Tian has to maintain his current state until the end of November before he can hope to win the best of the first month.

The day after the game against the Pistons, Su Tian received a call from James Young.

"Su, I'm really grateful to you. Julius told me that the Lakers gave me this opportunity because of your recommendation. No matter what the result is, brother, I am very grateful for this opportunity you gave me."

"It's okay, brother, if you still want to stay in the NBA, go for it. I hope we can meet in Los Angeles."

After hanging up the phone, Su Tian looked at the game schedule. The next game was to play the Trail Blazers away, so when James Young came to Los Angeles, Su Tian should play in Portland.

If the Lakers didn't want it, then the two of them would naturally not be able to see it. If the Lakers wanted it, then they would be able to see it.

That's why Su Tian said that he hoped to meet in Los Angeles.
