NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 247 The first losing streak in the new season

There is no doubt about the speed of the Warriors' small lineup. The Lakers just scored a goal, and then the Warriors quickly served the ball and started the offense directly.

Green got the ball and pushed directly to attack, and the entire Warriors also ran together.

Su Tian only had time to keep up with Clay, while Green passed the ball to Curry, and Curry caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

When Curry made a three-pointer, he was still two steps away from the three-point line, and Ball didn't react at all.

Swah——

Curry hit a three-pointer.

52-64
The Warriors' offensive and defensive transitions are too fast, and it's hard for the Lakers to keep up directly.

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

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

Su Tian got the ball and faced Iguodala still with a pick-and-roll, but the Warriors' defense was significantly strengthened. Su Tian didn't find the right time to pass the ball, so he had to take Iguodala straight to the basket and go straight to the basket. Go, and then Su Tian collected the ball and took a European step, pushed past Iguodala's defense, and forced a layup.

Speaking of which, Su Tian was suspected of fouling the ball, but the movement was small and the referee didn't blow it, so it was a good ball.

54-64
The two sides seemed to be deadlocked at the two-digit point difference. In the next few rounds, the point difference did not change much.

Persisted until halfway through the third quarter, the Warriors began to make substitutions and adjustments. At this time, the Lakers also began to change, but they did not win Su Tian.

At this time, the difference between the two teams reached 15 points. Su Tian tried his best, but he only made it this far.

But after the Warriors' five-small lineup went down, Su Tian had another chance.

After the Warriors made substitutions, the field became McCaw, Clay, Nick Young, Casspi, and David West.

Facing such a lineup, Su Tian still has the confidence to recover some points.

After the substitution came back, Su Tian cooperated with his teammates to score points with consecutive mid-range jump shots.

The Warriors didn't stop here either. The whole team looked for Clay to shoot, and Su Tian followed Clay.

In the end, Nick Young got the chance and made an empty cut layup.

The ball was given to the Lakers again, Su Tian still used his teammates to pick and roll, and began to pass the ball to assist his teammates.

The point difference between the two teams was also shrinking, but it didn't take long for the third quarter to end.

At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 78-88, and the Warriors still led by 10 points.

With a difference of 10 points, Su Tian didn't know if he could catch up. After all, this was the defending champion, so it was difficult for Su Tian to guarantee it.

"Su, how's it going, can you hold on in the fourth quarter?" Wharton asked.

"Yes, you can persist." Su Tian said.

Soon the intermission is over and the fourth quarter begins.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers took out, Clarkson, Su Tian, ​​Ingram, Randall, Nance.

The Warriors are led by Curry and Durant.

The first ball was given to the Warriors, and Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, and used Green's pick-and-roll to make a direct three-pointer.

Curry's shot was too sudden, Clarkson didn't react at all, and didn't interfere in time, Curry hit a three-pointer directly.

78-91
After the possession of the ball was changed, Su Tian held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. At this time, both the Warriors and the Lakers were focused.

Because what the next quarter will look like depends entirely on Su Tiandu's state.

Although Su Tian, ​​a member of the Lakers team, was very confident in his state in the fourth quarter, he still felt flustered when he met the Warriors.

Su Tian observed the Warriors' defensive position while dribbling, and then beckoned for Nance to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian took the ball and went to the inside. Nick Yang was defending Su Tian, ​​and quickly went around the pick-and-roll to catch up with Su Tian's footsteps.

But Nick Young was still a step too late. Before the defense came up, Su Tian had easily rushed to the basket and made a layup.

80-91
It seems that both teams faced off for a goal, but in fact the Lakers have already been led by the Warriors by 1 point, because the Warriors scored 3 points.

The ball was given to the Warriors again, Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, passed the ball directly to Green, and became off the ball.

For Curry, off the ball saves more energy.

After Green held the ball at the top of the arc and observed it, he passed the ball directly to Durant.

Durant received the ball with his back to Ingram, turned around quickly and threw Ingram away, and then directly pulled up a jumper.

However, at the moment Durant made a shot, Su Tian's defense and interference arrived at the same time!

boom--

Durant made a shot, and at the same time, Su Tian also turned around to grab the rebound. With the addition of various badges, Su Tian successfully grabbed the rebound.

The moment he got the rebound, Su Tian turned around and started the fast break mode.

Su Tian ran all the way to the frontcourt holding the ball. The only one who followed Su Tian was Green who barely reacted.

The two came all the way to the basket, and Green had already occupied a better defensive position at this time.

So Su Tian suddenly had an idea, and the moment he came to the basket and was about to make a shot, Su Tian suddenly took a step back, shaking off Green's help defense, and then shot.

Swah——

Su Tian's brainstorm made a perfect contribution!
82-91
The point difference returned to single digits, and the suspense of the game between the two sides was brought back.

The ball was given to the Warriors again, Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, passed the ball directly to Durant, and then ran to Durant to make a pick-and-roll.

Durant used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside with the ball.

"Dooku's pick and roll, can you show some face." Su Tian secretly complained.

Facing a "pseudo-strong team" like the Lakers, they still play the big move of Dooku's pick and roll, which is really a bit of a rogue.

Durant took the ball to the middle distance, and then made an emergency stop and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Durant made a solid hit.

82-93
The ball returned to the Lakers again, and Su Tian took the ball to the frontcourt. This time, he didn't call for a pick-and-roll, and broke through Nick Young's defense with an explosion.

Successfully attracted the Warriors' defense, so Su Tian made a covert pass to Ingram.

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

Swah——

Ingram hit a three-pointer!

85-93
Su Tian clenched his fists hard.

Being able to activate his teammates can save some of Su Tian's physical strength and energy.

The Warriors are using the Dooku pick-and-roll tactic again. For this tactic, the Lakers really don't have a good solution at present.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors kept using Dooku's pick-and-roll tactics as their main tactical coordination, frantically torturing the Lakers.

Relying on Su Tian's offense, the Lakers successfully held the point difference until the last 2 minutes of the game.

In the last 2 minutes, Su Tian started to shoot a lot of three-pointers, trying to get the score back with three-pointers.

But it's a pity that the Lakers have been suppressed by the Warriors until the end.

In the end, the game ended and the Lakers lost 106-113 to the Warriors.

After the game, the Lakers' record also came to 25 wins and 5 losses, and at the same time ushered in the first losing streak this season.

In this game, Su Tian scored 30+10 again. In addition, Kuzma scored the second highest score except Su Tian, ​​​​with 27 points, 14 rebounds and 1 assist.

勇士这边，杜兰特拿到33分7篮板7助攻2抢断4盖帽，被评为全场最佳。

Curry got 20+10 and completed his task in a satisfactory manner.

Clay was constrained by Su Tian as usual, scoring just in double figures.

After the Warriors won this game, their record also came to 26 wins and 6 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference only after the Lakers' record.

The position of the top three in the Western Conference is still stable, and the Lakers have not yet fallen behind.

After the game against the Warriors, Su Tian participated in the team's post-match interview as usual.

"Su, this is the first time the Lakers have suffered a losing streak this season. Do you have anything to say?"

"The regular season is very long, and winning or losing is normal. The Lakers just need to keep moving at our own pace," Su Tian said.

"Then please comment on the Warriors this season."

"There is no doubt that the Warriors this season are strong contenders for the championship, and any team that hopes to win the championship should not ignore it." Su Tian said with a serious face.

After the end, Su Tian followed the team back to Los Angeles.

The Lakers' terrible 4-game devil schedule game is finally over, and the next is 4 consecutive home games, which gives the Lakers plenty of time to adjust and rest.

On December 12, the second day after the game against the Warriors, the Lakers played back-to-back against the Trail Blazers.

But fortunately, the Blazers star Lillard suffered injuries and was unable to play in this game.

Under the leadership of Su Tian, ​​the Lakers easily defeated the Blazers 115-95 and refused to lose three games in a row.

Because the Blazers did not have Lillard, they naturally focused their offense on McCollum. In this way, they were directly confronted with Su Tian, ​​and Su Tian naturally showed no mercy.

After the game against the Trail Blazers, the Lakers finally had time to take a good rest on the 24th. Su Tian also took this opportunity to find a physical therapist to maintain his body.

Even if Su Tian has the "Iron Man" badge, it is only effective for injuries. If you want to relieve fatigue, it is more effective to find a physical therapist.

On the 25th, the Lakers played at home against the Timberwolves.

This season's Timberwolves ushered in the toughest man in the league, Jimmy Butler, but Su Tian, ​​who is familiar with the plot, knows that Butler's going to the Timberwolves is not a complete thing.

Before the game started, Su Tian went out of his way to say hello to Butler.

"Hey, Jimmy, if you're not happy in Minnesota, you can contact me anytime, Los Angeles is not a bad place."

Butler smiled when he saw Su Tian's meaningful expression, and didn't say much, but simply hugged Su Tian.

Obviously, Butler is more willing to go to a team where he is the boss than in a larger city.

But, everything is possible, what if Butler can be abducted back.

If it is really possible to abduct Butler, a strange man, back to the Lakers, it will do no harm to the Lakers.

Soon, the match between the Lakers and the Timberwolves began. Although Su Tian wanted to recruit Butler, this did not prevent Su Tian from still attacking the Timberwolves.

The starting lineup given by the Timberwolves is Jeff Teague, Wiggins, Butler, Taj Gibson, Towns.

On the Lakers side, Ingram, Lopez and Ball were rested in rotation.

The starting lineup is Hart, Su Tian, ​​Kuzma, Randall, Nance.

Although the Lakers rested the three main players, they still sat on the bench, Clarkson, Pope, Caruso, and Zubac.

This is completely enough for the Lakers, because the Lakers have Su Tian.

In the first quarter of the game, Su Tian directly attacked with all his strength, constantly holding the ball to attack and score, and his personal offensive desire was very strong.

Because at this time, Su Tian's opponent happened to be Wiggins, and Su Tian was quite energetic when facing the No. [-] pick in the same session.

At the end of the first quarter, 29-20, the Lakers led by 9 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, Su Tian temporarily left the court to rest for half a quarter, and handed over the court to his teammates.

But it was during this half quarter that the Timberwolves actually caught up with the score and successfully overtook it.

Wharton had no choice but to call a timeout, and after the timeout, Su Tian was replaced.

Butler worked hard for half a quarter, and finally called Su Tian up. He looked at Su Tian with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if to say, "How about you boy, can you do it!"

Su Tian also looked at Butler with a smile, and then began to take over the team's possession of the ball, directly suppressing the Timberwolves again and successfully catching up with the score.

At the end of the first half, the score came to 53-52, and the Lakers still maintained a 1-point lead.

Su Tian also had to admit that Butler was indeed tough enough to lead a team like the Timberwolves with this level of toughness.

In the third quarter, Su Tian continued to appear on the stage, and Butler also continued to appear on the stage. The two seem to be on the same page now.

So, in the third quarter, Su Tian and Butler started to lead the team respectively, and the two sides played evenly.

As soon as Su Tian assisted his teammates to score, Butler broke through and caused a foul.

Turning his head, Su Tian made an emergency stop and hit a jumper, but Butler forced a layup and scored.

You have one goal and I have one goal on both sides, the score is extremely anxious, evenly matched.

At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 83-80, and the Lakers only led by 3 points.

At this point in the game, Su Tian already had great respect for Butler, but Butler hadn't conceded defeat yet. In Butler's view, the game wasn't over yet.

But, it's a pity that Su Tian is about to hang up.

The Timberwolves had the first possession of the ball in the fourth quarter. Teague advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and wanted to pass the ball to Towns inside.

But at this time, Su Tian, ​​who was hanging around, had quick eyes and quick hands. He directly steals the ball, gets the ball and goes straight to the frontcourt.

The Timberwolves organized an offense again, this time Teague was much more cautious and passed the ball to Butler carefully.

As soon as Butler got the ball, Su Tian directly defended it, giving him enough confrontation and intensity.

Butler was also surprised. He didn't expect the new Lakers boss to be so tough in the fourth quarter. Isn't he afraid of lack of physical strength?

But Butler didn't have time to think so much. He called his teammates to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to start a breakthrough, wanting to hold the ball and kill inside.

Su Tian quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll, re-wrapped Butler, and the death-wound badge lit up again.

At this time, Butler had no way out, and he hit the inside hard against Su Tian's defense. The two hit the basket all the way, but Butler forced a layup.

Su Tian raised his hands high, while maintaining the position of interference, while being careful not to be fouled.

boom--

Butler made a layup.

Seeing the basketball hit the iron, Su Tian jumped quickly and successfully grabbed the rebound.

The moment he got the rebound, Su Tian turned around with the ball and started a fast break.

Su Tian's speed is very fast, especially compared with other players, Su Tian is even more unstoppable.

Su Tian took the lead again and came to the frontcourt. This time, Su Tian chose to split the dunk with one hand. With a loud bang, Su Tian completed the dunk.

87-80
Su Tian scored 4 points in a row and looked at Butler with a smile when he returned to defense.
