NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 290 Western Finals G3, The Alert Cole
May 5th is a special day. Many couples will face quarrels, breakups, cuckolds, etc. on this day.

It is also very special for Su Tian, ​​because this is the time of the third game of the Western Conference Finals.

The scene of Oracle Arena was crowded with people, and the atmosphere and atmosphere of this scene was even better than that of Staples.

The main reason is that Los Angeles is an entertainment city, and everyone is not so fanatical about basketball.

The starting lineup of the Warriors is still starting with five minors.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is also a regular starting lineup.

Ball, Su Tian, ​​Ingram, Randall, Lopez.

Before the start of the game, many people predicted that the Lakers would also choose Wu Xiao to start, but they did not expect that the Lakers did not change the starting lineup. I don't know if there are other arrangements or Wharton is too rigid.

Soon the game started, Lopez took the lead to grab the jump ball, and the Lakers had the ball.

After Ball came to the frontcourt with the ball, he passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball, faced Clay, and directly started singles.

"Huh? Are you playing singles at the beginning? The Lakers are so direct?" Barkley asked Su Tian's singles at the beginning of the game.

After Su Tian dribbled the ball continuously, he broke through Clay's defense line in a quick burst, and easily reached the middle distance to make an emergency stop jump shot.

Swah——

Su Tian made a steady hit.

2-0
Although Su Tian scored a shot, he didn't have any joyful expression on his face, but frowned tightly.

"The Warriors still didn't double-team, and they didn't even have a tendency to double-team just now."

Su Tian just observed very clearly that Durant and Green didn't intend to double-team. It seems that the Warriors still insisted on the defensive strategy of the previous game.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian once again increased his personal offensive ratio, trying to attract the Warriors' help in defense, but the Warriors remained unmoved.

At the end of the first quarter, the score had come to 29-25, and the Lakers temporarily led by 4 points.

"This game is like a repeat of the last game. The Lakers still rely on Su's performance to temporarily lead the Warriors. I don't know if the final result will change." Kenny Smith said.

"I don't feel that the Lakers have made any adjustments. Walton's job is obviously unqualified. The Lakers need a more professional head coach." Barkley immediately complained.

At this time, not only Barkley, but many Lakers fans blamed Walton for all this.

"That's right, what level is Wharton at? He was beaten so badly last time, and he still doesn't know how to change it. There is no change at all, and only Su can fight alone?"

"Wharton is still too young. He was a humble relationship player when he was a player, and he is still not very good as a coach now."

"The Lakers really should change a head coach. I think Steve Nash is good. Letting him come is definitely better than Walton."

"Yes, Nash is a master passer. Having Nash around will definitely benefit Su."

"Anyone can be a coach now. It's very possible to deploy a lineup of five point guards at any time."

But at this time, Walton naturally didn't know the fans criticized him, because at this time, Walton was discussing with Su Tian how to deal with the Warriors.

"The Warriors still haven't changed their defensive strategy. They still let me play singles in the first three quarters, and then double-team me in the fourth quarter. Their main task in the first three quarters is still to cut off the connection between me and my teammates." Su Tian said.

"It does seem to be the case. If this is the case, then we can't sit still, Su. We should find more teammates to cooperate in the first three quarters, and we can't fall into the trap of the Warriors." Wharton said seriously.

Su Tian nodded, as if he agreed with Wharton's statement.

In the first quarter, Su Tian came to test the Warriors' defensive strategy. If the Warriors still stick to the strategy of the previous game, then Su Tian must find a way to connect with his teammates and not let himself fall into singles. up.

At this time, the second quarter of the game had already started for 2 minutes. Su Tian did not play for the time being, but rested off the court.

At this time, the Lakers are led by Ingram and Randall, while the Warriors are led by Green and Clay.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Warriors had begun to faintly overtake the Lakers, and Su Tian played again.

After Su Tian played again, he was pushed to the third position, and Iguodala also played on the Warriors side.

Su Tian looked back at Cole on the sidelines, and Cole watched the game calmly with his arms folded.

After Su Tian came on the court, he pushed forward with the ball to the frontcourt. As expected, Iguodala defended in front of him. At the same time, the rest of the Warriors were also trying to defend themselves, and their bodies kept blocking Su Tian's passing route. superior.

Su Tian scanned his eyes, and called Nance to step forward to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian made a breakthrough directly, the Warriors quickly switched defenses, and Rooney switched to Su Tian.

Rooney's defense was still very immature at this time, Su Tian accelerated and directly broke through, and easily made a layup.

At this moment, Cole frowned on the sidelines.

"Although it is said that Su Tian was deliberately singled out, but this fight is too easy."

Cole is not very satisfied with Rooney's defense, but there is no way, the Warriors' inside line is already very scarce.

The ball changed, and it was the Warriors' turn to attack. Livingston advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. After a tactical run, Clay ran an open opportunity, and Livingston immediately passed the ball to the past.

But as soon as Livingston took the ball, he was stopped by Su Tian.

Su Tian successfully steals it!

After grabbing the ball, Su Tian directly started a fast break, holding the ball and going straight to the basket in the frontcourt.

Quickly coming to the basket, Su Tian scored a layup.

In these two rounds, it seems that there is no difference between Su Tian's scoring, but Cole can see clearly that they are not the same at all!
The reason why the Warriors allowed Su Tian to play singles was because it would consume a lot of Su Tian's physical strength, making it impossible for Su Tian to break out in the fourth quarter, so that the Warriors could win the game steadily.

But the goals in these two rounds were played too easily, and did not consume too much of Su Tian's physical strength at all.

So Cole was very dissatisfied at this time, but after thinking about it, it might be a coincidence, so he decided to watch another round.

The Warriors continued to organize the offense. This time Livingston found a chance to break through with the ball, so he quickly rushed to the basket. Before Nance's help defense came up, Livingston made a throw.

bang - swish -

The basketball bounced off the backboard and into the net, and the Warriors managed to recover two points.

The possession of the ball changed again, and the Lakers attacked.

Hart advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and when everyone thought Hart was going to pass the ball to Su Tian, ​​Hart called Nance for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of Nance's pick-and-roll, Hart directly broke through with the ball and rushed to the basket.

Su Tian couldn't double-team, and the others had no problem, so Green let go of Kuzma directly and returned to the basket in time.

Just when Green was about to cap Hart, Hart suddenly passed the ball to Su Tian who made an air cut.

Su Tian received the ball and shot directly without adjustment.

Swah——

Su Tian hit again.

"It's not right, it's not right."

Cole sensed something was wrong with the Lakers, so he quickly called a timeout.

"The Warriors called a timeout. What happened? Isn't Su Tian scoring alone?" Barkley asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, maybe it's a normal tactical arrangement." Kenny Smith followed up.

At this time, the Warriors' bench.

"Guys, the Lakers have changed their style of play. Perhaps some of you have sensed it. Although Su Tian is still the one who ends up in the end, the entire Lakers are moving."

"They changed the ball holder. Now the ball holder in their lineup is Hart. There may be changes in a while, but the overall meaning is the same. Let the second person hold the ball, and the others will create for Su Tian. Opportunity and environment."

"Green let go of Kuzma to help defend Hart just now. There was no problem, but Kuzma directly turned around and made a pick-and-roll for Su Tian. This is the reason why Su Tian was able to shoot easily."

"Before, we just cut off the connection between Su and his teammates. Now it seems that we have to cut off the connection between the ball holder and Su, but the difficulty has risen sharply."

"But fortunately, they don't have a good ball handler, they don't have a good passer."

"Speaking of it, this is a bit like Stephen's style of play. Give the ball to Green, and Stephen runs without the ball. It seems that Wharton is still very good."

At this time, Cole explained in detail the Lakers' offense just now, but the Warriors were a little confused.

So Curry asked directly: "The coach, what do we need to do?"

"It's fine as normal, and it's still according to our previous arrangement. They don't have a second ball holding point, and it is impossible to pass such high-quality passes all the time. The Lakers' style of play will not last."

"But Andre, you have to pay more attention. Not only must you follow Su closely, but you must also pay attention to the passes his teammates pass to him."

Iguodala heard the coach talking about himself, so he nodded.

"As for the others, those who are still following you, don't just help defend Su Tian. If we help defend Su Tian and cause Su Tian to pass the ball wantonly, that will really activate the Lakers."

Under Cole's arrangement, he easily avoided the Lakers' pit.

At this time, Su Tian naturally noticed the heated discussion on the Warriors' bench, or since Cole called a timeout just now, Su Tian has been paying attention to the Warriors' bench.

"I didn't expect Cole to react so quickly. It seems that it will be difficult to fight next."

The timeout ended and the game continued. After returning to the court again, as Su Tian expected, the Warriors made adjustments in time. Even if Su Tian ran without the ball, it was difficult for him to get the pass easily.

Even because of his teammates' poor passing skills, he was intercepted several times by the Warriors and was beaten into a defensive counterattack by the Warriors.

At the end of the second quarter, the Warriors had completed the overtake of the Lakers, the score came to 53-59, and the Lakers trailed by 6 points.

At halftime, Barkley and Smith began analyzing the game again.

"We can see that after Su came on the court in the second half of the second quarter, the Lakers began to change the team's offensive strategy, allowing Su Tian to change from a ball-holding role to a player without the ball."

"So, Kenny, do you think this change is working?"

After a brief introduction, Barkley turned to Kenny Smith.

Kenny Smith sorted out his language and said: "From the current performance of the game, this change has not become better. On the contrary, because of this change, it is difficult for Su Tian to get the ball again, causing the Warriors to overtake directly. score."

"So, Walton's adjustment failed?" Barkley said.

"So far, that's how it is."

At this time, because of the remarks made by Barkley and Kenny Smith, the Internet began to quarrel again.

"I said it a long time ago, Wharton is a big bastard, and I should have let him go!"

"At least Wharton has still made some adjustments. He didn't really do nothing. It's just a lack of ability, not a problem with his attitude."

"Attitude? Can't you be scolded for lack of ability? Is it a problem for me to criticize him for his lack of ability?"

"Wharton hurry up and leave, if you don't leave, you will continue to suck Su Tian's blood!"

"That's right, Wharton is a vampire! A parasite! It's all thanks to Su that he got to this point!"

"Agree to drive away Walton, and I recommend Nash as the head coach!"

Fans on the Internet were arguing endlessly, and at the same time, the locker rooms on both sides were equally lively.

The Warriors' locker room was joyful and peaceful, and Curry was sitting with Clay talking and laughing.

Green sat on the sidelines with Durant, and the two murmured and didn't know what they were talking about.

Cole was discussing tactics with the assistant coaches around him.

The state of the Lakers is completely opposite to that of the Warriors.

Su Tian was recovering his strength while replenishing water, and Wharton was boosting everyone's morale.

But looking at the expressions of the players, we also know that the effect of Wharton's encouragement is average.

"Su, tell me a few words."

Seeing Wharton's helpless expression, Su Tian smiled slightly, and had no choice but to stand up and speak.

"Guys, you have also seen that the Warriors are very strong, not ordinary strong. If we can't exert our collective strength, it will be difficult to defeat this aircraft carrier. We don't ask everyone to have a wonderful performance in the second half. Take care of your heart and don't lose the opportunity."

Su Tian paused for a moment, looked around, and then said: "I know that some teammates will leave here next season and go to other teams, but please think clearly, if you can win in the playoffs There are wonderful performances on the stage and the stage of the Western Conference Finals, so everyone is very clear about the price and status of the team next season, so please give your best for the next game."

After Su Tian finished speaking, he sat down to rest directly, but the expressions of the other people in the team kept changing.

The other people Su Tian mentioned are naturally clear, but it is not so simple to perform on such occasions.

Some of them have erratic eyes, some have firm eyes, and some have no changes in their eyes, as if what Su Tian just said has nothing to do with him.
