NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 310 Education Rookie Doncic

As the main output point of this game, Butler also got the best data this season.

Butler scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, showing a strong performance on both ends of the offense and defense.

苏天全场拿到21分12助攻10篮板的经济型三双数据，乔治拿到23分7篮板4助攻2抢断。

Although Su Tian and George were not the Lakers' first scoring points in this game, they also contributed their energy in other places.

And Butler, as the protagonist of this game, must have reporters who made things difficult for him in the post-match interview.

"Butler, what do you think of the current Timberwolves?"

"Hello, Mr. Butler, the current record of the Timberwolves is 2 wins and 5 losses. If you were to lead this team, what kind of record would it have?"

"May I ask about your own deal, did you force the management?"

"May I ask what is the difference between the current Lakers and the previous Timberwolves?"

The reporters at the scene were obviously full of curiosity and questions about Butler, and they wanted to wipe Butler clean.

After the press officer at the scene maintained order, Butler picked up the microphone and began to answer questions from the previous reporters.

"I am very happy to be able to come to the Lakers to play, because there are teammates who want to win like me, and I feel like I am home here."

"I don't have much to say about Minnesota other than to say, wish them success."

"As for the deal about me, it has nothing to do with me at all. It is an ordinary deal, and it is also a deal that the Timberwolves think can maximize their benefits. As for the content of the deal, it is not up to me to decide."

Butler answered questions from the reporters in an orderly manner, perfectly showing the victor's posture.

After the post-match interview, Butler deliberately hugged Su Tian and George again.

Although Butler didn't say anything, Su Tian knew that it was Butler expressing his gratitude to him, but he was just not good at words.

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Randall began to contact Su Tian.

"Su, I'll send you the address, just come directly, I've made all the arrangements."

"Row."

According to the address sent by Randall, Su Tian called a taxi to the designated place.

Su Tian originally thought that this place would be a nightclub or something, but when he arrived, he realized that it was actually a serious western restaurant.

"Hey, Su, we meet again." Seeing Su Tian coming, Randall quickly got up to greet him.

"Julius, long time no see, how are you doing?"

The two sat down while talking.

"Fortunately, the teammates are quite harmonious, nothing special happened, but everyone's enthusiasm for training is not very high."

Su Tian smiled. Randall didn't need to tell Su Tian about this matter, or in other words, the whole league knew about it.

"I see that you didn't seem to be in a good state today." Su Tian said suddenly.

Randall was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Su Tian to speak so bluntly, then he nodded and said, "Yes, it's true that he didn't perform very well."

"why?"

Randall thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because the teammates are not very familiar with each other, and there are some problems with the cooperation between them."

Su Tian nodded when he heard the words. Obviously, this was just Randall's rhetoric. After all, Ball, as the team's point guard, couldn't be familiar with Randall.

After finishing the dinner with Randall, Su Tian followed the team back to Los Angeles the next day.

On October 10, the last day of October, the Lakers played against the Mavericks at home.

The Mavericks won the draft pick Doncic this year. This talented European boy is indeed very capable, and he is also very experienced in playing. He has the potential to grow into the regular season MVP in the future.

The Mavericks also made some efforts in the offseason. The starting lineup includes Dennis Smith Jr., Wesley Matthews, Doncic, Harris Barnes, and Jordan Jr.

Jordan also just came to the Mavericks this season, and it was the Mavericks' hard work on the inside.

The opening ball was taken by the Mavericks, and Smith took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Doncic.

Opposing Doncic is Ingram. As a representative of the same young players, Ingram really wants to try Doncic's quality.

After Doncic got the ball, he first called his teammates for a pick-and-roll, and then used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside. Ingram followed closely.

But although Ingram was very fast, he fell into a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two. After reaching the basket, Doncic made a fierce effort to push Ingram away and made a layup.

0-2
A goal was scored at the beginning, and Ingram seemed very unconvinced.

Su Tian saw Ingram's performance and emotion, so Su Tian took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Ingram.

After passing the ball, Su Tian retreated directly to open up space and gave the stage to Ingram.

Ingram didn't hesitate at this time, so he dribbled the ball and prepared to single out Doncic. After continuous cross dribbles, Ingram saw the right time and broke through directly.

Fighting against, Ingram is still too thin for the time being, but he has an advantage in speed, so Ingram's breakthrough directly leads Doncic by two steps.

Ingram came to the basket first, and was about to make a layup but was double-teamed by Jordan. In desperation, Ingram seemed to pass the ball to the open Nance in a flash of inspiration.

Nance catches the ball and shoots directly, and the short-range shot is easily hit.

2-2
Although Ingram didn't score, he also showed his own strength by passing the ball and assisting after attracting the defense.

"Brandon's performance is still good. It seems that the choice of the off-season is right, and he was not traded out."

At this time, Pelinka and Johnson and the owner of the Lakers, Jenny Buss, were watching the game in a box at Staples.

Jenny Buss turned to look at Pelinka and said, "Good job, Rob, keep up the good work."

Pelinka smiled and nodded without speaking.

Johnson also smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and said: "The work this offseason is still very good, and this season has the opportunity to compete for the championship."

Jenny Buss nodded her head in agreement with Johnson's statement.

At this time, the game on the field is still going on. After the Big Three gradually took over, the Lakers gradually took the lead and firmly occupied the dominant position.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 38-21, and the Lakers led by 17 points.

At this time, Doncic is still very young, and everyone has always been very tolerant of young players.

"Luka has performed very well. His versatility was shown in the first quarter, but the defensive end still needs to work hard." Barkley said.

Kenny Smith nodded and said: "Indeed, as a first-year rookie player, it is very gratifying to be able to play such a performance. He still has a long way to go in the future."

Although Dongcic was praised, Dongcic himself didn't seem very happy, because the Lakers firmly controlled the score advantage.

In the second quarter, Doncic sat off the court to rest, staring at Su Tian on the court.

Doncic has a high basketball IQ, so it can be seen that Su Tian is the focus of the Lakers. Although the Lakers have two All-Stars this season, they are all developing tactics around Su Tian.

In the second quarter, Su Tian played half of the quarter and rested, and handed over the second half to George and Butler, and Doncic and George faced each other.

Brunson advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to George.

George got the ball and began to observe his teammates' running positions. He suddenly broke out and directly broke through Doncic's defense.

After the breakthrough, George was in full swing. He broke through all the way to the basket and made a layup.

Doncic jumped hard to try to block the shot, but the height of the jump did not interfere with George, and George made an easy hit.

The possession of the ball was changed, and Doncic held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

As soon as Doncic came to the frontcourt, George directly defended him, giving him enough pressure.

Doncic's offense is still relatively mature. After firmly controlling the ball, he began to call his teammates for pick-and-roll cooperation.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, he broke through directly, but Doncic's breakthrough speed was not fast, and George caught up easily. After a confrontation between the two, Doncic stopped in the penalty area.

Seeing that the ball was about to make a mistake, Doncic turned around and then hit the ground and passed the ball to Jordan who was inside.

Jordan caught the ball and dunked with both hands.

Doncic's flash-like pass won the house.

"Oh, don't say it, really don't say it, Luka's pass has Su's temperament."

"It's true. By the way, Doncic's style of play is also very similar to Su's. They are both big core players with the ball."

"Dongcic's future is limitless. An All-Star is guaranteed, and the MVP of the regular season is also very possible."

"Luka Doncic is a mold of a regular season MVP. If he fails to play it, it is entirely the responsibility of the Mavericks."

The second quarter was the same as the first quarter, Doncic received praise, and the Lakers took the lead.

At the end of the first half, the score still had a double-digit gap, and the Mavericks did not shake a bit.

During the intermission, Walton emphasized his defense against Doncic, but didn't say anything more.

At this time, George came to Su Tian's side.

"Su, you said before that Jokic of the Nuggets has the potential to be the MVP of the regular season, so how about this Luka Doncic?"

Su Tian smiled, and said without hesitation: "There is no doubt that Luka Doncic also has the potential of the regular season MVP."

George then asked: "In your opinion, who will win the regular season MVP first, Jokic or Doncic?"

George seemed to be very interested in this question, his face was full of curiosity, and he even brought Butler next to him to look over, wanting to see what Su Tian had to say.

Su Tian pondered for a while and said: "Whoever wins the regular season MVP first between the two of them depends on whose team lineup is better and who can lead the team to a good result faster. From this point of view, I I think it will be Jokic who gets the regular season MVP earlier."

"Jokic?"

George is obviously puzzled by this answer, because in George's view, Doncic has greater potential, stronger strength, and better physical talent, which is not comparable to that fat center.

"Why, you don't believe it?"

"Su, it's not that I question you, it's that I really think Luka Doncic is stronger than Jokic." George said seriously.

Su Tian smiled, and continued: "Then let's make a bet, whichever of the two of them will win the regular season MVP earlier."

George also became interested when he heard this and said, "Okay! Then what are we betting on?"

Su Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Just bet on your yacht. If I win, you can give me that yacht. If I lose, I will cover all the maintenance of that yacht in the future."

George was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Su Tian to gamble so much. It's not that George was reluctant to part with that yacht, because that yacht had been around for many years, and George planned to replace it with a new one, but betting on a yacht still seemed a bit of a joke.

But after thinking about it, it's going to be replaced anyway, so it's better to gamble.

"Okay, Su, don't go back on your debt when the time comes!"

"Hahaha, don't worry about George, I can't possibly renege on my debt, but you, you should clean up that yacht first, and then give it to me clean."

The intermission ended quickly, and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, both sides once again dispatched all the main lineups, and the Lakers' Big Three played at the same time again.

The difference between the Big Three of the Lakers and the Big Three formed by other teams before is the adaptability.

The Big Three combination formed by the Lakers is obviously more adaptable. Unlike the Big Three of other teams, they cannot achieve 1+1=2 with each other, and generally 1+1<2.

As for the Lakers, Butler, George, and Su Tian are all versatile. Not only can they organize and score, but they also have a certain range, which will not cause congestion inside.

That's why Barkley sighed before, saying that the Lakers' Big Three combination is the best combination in recent years.

In the third quarter, under the pressure of the Big Three of the Lakers, the Mavericks couldn't make any waves at all, and the point difference remained stable at around 15 points.

In the fourth quarter, George and Butler took a break as usual, and Su Tian led the team on the court.

At this time, Doncic also played. It seems that the head coach of the Mavericks, Carlisle, still wants to train this rookie.

The first ball in the fourth quarter was given to the Mavericks. Barea advanced the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Doncic.

At this moment, Su Tian suddenly became interested, so he took the initiative to guard against Dongcic.

Facing the defense of the Lakers boss, Doncic seemed very excited, but his movements did not stop, and he wanted to shake Su Tian's defensive center of gravity through continuous left and right cross dribbles.

After continuous dribbling, Doncic didn't find a suitable opportunity, so he gritted his teeth and started a breakthrough directly.

Su Tian could clearly see that Doncic's breakthrough was very reluctant, so he directly made a steal, and the golden badge "Ball Stealer" lit up!
After a successful steal, Su Tian directly launched a fast break and rushed to the frontcourt.

At this time, Dongcic had just reacted, so he quickly turned his head to chase, but the more he chased Dongcic, he found that the distance became farther.

bang——

Su Tian, ​​who came to the frontcourt, directly smashed and dunked vigorously, and Su Tian easily completed the steal.
