NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 338 All-Star MVP!Rockets internal strife? !

However, Su Tian didn't want to make Walker look bad on the first ball, so he pretended to defend it.

Walker also knew what was going on. He burst into the basket and succeeded in a layup.

Su Tian watched Walker score a layup, and even greeted Walker with a smile as he returned to defense.

Immediately afterwards, Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Because Su Tian had greeted Curry before, Curry directly passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian received the ball and faced Walker and shot a three-pointer directly.

Su Tian's attack seemed random, but in fact, Su Tian's energy was highly concentrated.

Swah——

Su Tian made a steady three-pointer.

3-2
The ball was transferred, and this time James did his part, holding the ball and starting to hit the basket, and dunked directly.

Turning around, Curry also tried a super long three-pointer, but failed to hit.

The whole first quarter was relatively harmonious overall, everyone had a good atmosphere, and there was no real fighting.

At the end of the first half, all the players had already appeared on the stage. Su Tian mostly shot three-pointers in the first half.

Because of the high efficiency of three-pointers and the low defensive intensity, Su Tian had a high shooting percentage and scored 27 points in the first half.

At this time, 82-89, the Sutian team was temporarily behind.

After the halftime break, the two teams began to gradually increase the intensity of the game, with steals and blocks appearing.

Su Tian also stole a ball from Harden when he was facing off against Harden.

In the fourth quarter, the scores were tied, and Su Tian came on the court again.

Because everyone knew about Su Tian's status in the fourth quarter, they all gave the opportunity to Su Tian and wanted Su Tian to perform.

Su Tian also accepted the offer gladly. He rushed to the basket with the ball, collected the ball and took off directly.

bang——

Su Tian dunked like a roc spreading its wings, which directly detonated the entire audience.

"OMG! Su should go to the dunk contest! If he doesn't go to the dunk contest, it's a loss for the league!"

"I can't believe that Su could actually dunk such an explosive dunk! I always looked at him as a player like Stockton."

"Su is really incredible. I even suspect that his body has developed a second time! He didn't have such a performance in his rookie season!"

"Lakers fans are so happy. With such a leading star, there are always surprises!"

After Su Tian dunked the ball, it seemed that the horn of the official match was sounded, and the two sides began to fight for real.

Su Tian also took care of his teammates while attacking personally, and made some exquisite passes to assist his teammates.

James' desire to attack has dropped a lot. He is consciously conserving his physical strength and leaving more offensive opportunities to Durant.

In the end, under Su Tian's strong performance, the Su Tian team won the game 178-164.

Su Tian scored 45 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 steals, and was undoubtedly the AMVP.

"Su, you are in the limelight today. How about it? Do you have to make arrangements for this?"

Seeing that Su Tian won the MVP, George started to persuade Su Tian to pay for a treat.

"Of course there's no problem, George, but I'm not familiar with it. You find the place and I'll pay for it."

"No problem, leave it on me, it will definitely satisfy you."

So, on the night after the All-Star Game ended, many NBA stars stayed up all night and wandered in the sea of ​​beauties.

Of course, there are also those who didn’t come, such as Curry and Durant.

Today's warriors are troubled both internally and externally, and they understand that they don't want to join Su Tian.

As for what happened this night, skip it.

On February 2, Su Tian and George returned to Los Angeles.

"Paul, although this All-Star Weekend has been very comfortable, we haven't won the championship yet, so take it easy."

"That's for sure, don't doubt my professionalism as a player, man."

The day after returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers faced a fierce battle.

Home game against the Houston Rockets.

The regular season after the All-Star Game is also called the sprint period of the regular season. Many teams will madly improve their records during this period. This period is also the time when ranking competition is most intense.

"Su, you beat me in the All-Star Game, it doesn't matter, I will get it back in this game." Harden looked at Su Tian and said.

"Stop pretending, James. The last time the Rockets beat the Lakers, it was because of the explosive three-point shooting. You won't have such good luck this time!" Su Tian also responded immediately.

All the Rockets' main starting players have returned, and the Rockets are now complete.

The starting lineup is Paul, Harden, Gordon, Tucker, and Capela.

The Lakers' starting lineup is still the same as before, Su Tian, ​​Butler, Ingram, George, and Nance.

After suffering a loss last time, Walton naturally didn't want to suffer a second time, so he had been emphasizing before the game started to pay attention to the Rockets' three-pointers and fast breaks.

So as soon as this game started, the entire Lakers team was on alert.

Paul came to the frontcourt with the ball and saw that his teammates had no chance, so he wanted to start the first round with a pick-and-roll.

But Harden forced his way out and asked Paul for the ball.

Paul hesitated and passed the ball.

Harden got the ball, faced Butler, and wanted to start a singles directly.

But it is a pity that Harden's shot was interfered by Butler in the end, and the basketball was forged.

The rebound was taken by George and he directly launched a fast break. Su Tian quickly rushed to the front.

George saw the right moment and passed a long pass directly.

Su Tian received the ball, dribbled for two steps, then took off with the ball and succeeded with a back dunk.

2-0
"Su, who came back from the All-Star Game, can actually perform back dunks now," Barkley said with a smile.

Kenny Smith on the side also echoed: "Hahaha, indeed, Su Ke has never performed like this before, but the current state is better, so that our fans and friends can see more diverse Sus."

The tone of the entire first quarter was also set by Su Tian's back dunk. The Rockets were very frustrated throughout the first quarter, and the threat of three-pointers was not realized at all. It was very different from their performance in the previous game. If two people.

At the end of the first quarter, the score reached 32-22, and the Lakers led by 10 points in one quarter.

During the break, Harden sat on the bench with an unhappy look on his face.

Of course Harden himself knows that the last time he beat the Lakers, he caught the opponent off guard, and he felt really good in that game.

Now that the Lakers are on defense and their own touch has returned to normal, it will be even more difficult to win again.

In the second quarter, both sides rotated personnel normally.

Harden finds D'Antoni.

"Coach, we are too far behind, let me play."

"James, we still need you in the second half, don't panic, trust your teammates, we still have Paul."

Although Harden wanted to play at this time, he couldn't directly refute the coach in front of everyone, so he could only sit down.

Harden watched Paul controlling the ball on the court, seemingly enjoying the glory, but in fact the score difference did not change at all.Halfway through the second quarter, Harden came on the court again, and Su Tian also came on the court at the same time.

As soon as Harden came on the court, he immediately took possession of the ball and wanted to attack with the ball.

But Su Tian followed closely in front of him, and it was difficult for Harden to find a suitable opportunity.

After Harden missed two consecutive shots, Paul began to try to pass the ball to others to look for opportunities.

For Paul, this is a normal on-court adjustment, but in Harden's view, Paul is trying to seize power!Deliberately not passing the ball to yourself!

"Paul, the ball!"

"Paul, give me the ball quickly!"

Paul naturally heard it, but unfortunately, Paul passed the ball to Gerald Green on the outside.

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

Swah——

Three point hit.

When Harden saw the three-pointer hit, he no longer had anything to say, so he suppressed the words he wanted to curse.

In the remaining minutes, Harden rarely had a chance to receive Paul's pass. Harden was obviously very unhappy and on the verge of breaking out.

Su Tian, ​​who was guarding Harden the whole time, had a very playful expression at this time.

The Warriors just revealed the conversation between Green and Durant two days ago, which shocked fans and the media. Now the Rockets seem to be showing signs of success again.

The two super teams that were originally in the Western Conference both disintegrated due to internal problems. This undoubtedly once again warned Su Tian.

At the end of the first half, the point difference remained at double digits, with no obvious change.

When Harden came off the court, his face looked obviously ugly.

After returning to the locker room, Paul saw Harden's expression, thought about it, and stepped forward to communicate with Harden.

But when Harden saw Paul coming, he immediately stood up and walked to the toilet, obviously not wanting to communicate with Paul.

Paul frowned and returned to his seat.

In fact, the conflict between the two did not last for a day or two, but because the Rockets' current record is not bad and they have a chance to win the championship, neither of them broke out.

The fundamental contradiction between the two is that they disagree with each other's way of playing.

Paul thinks he should focus more on coordination and tactics, while Harden thinks it's better to give him the ball.

Of course, this can also be considered a battle for the ball.

Not only that, Paul is always "teaching others" and always preaches to Harden in a big brother and veteran tone. Harden feels that he is better than Paul now. Why should I listen to him?Instead of him listening to me?
The conflict between the two has been irreconcilable since then.

The intermission ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field.

At this time, the atmosphere in Rocket was still weird. As a time traveler, Su Tian naturally knew about the contradiction between the two, so he put away the trash talk he wanted to spout.

Now there is no need to fan the flames, you just need to win the game and then wait for him to explode.

In the third quarter, when Harden was holding the ball and when Paul was holding the ball, the two obviously did not use the same tactics, and the teams obviously had two different styles.

This caused confusion to the rest of the team, and the point difference not only did not narrow but became wider.

At the end of the third quarter, the score difference had reached 16 points.

Although the Rockets' performance was strange, the Lakers did not relax their vigilance.

Even before Su Tian came on the court in the fourth quarter, Walton found Su Tian and gave special instructions.

"Su, the Rockets are obviously having problems now, but don't let down your guard just because the point difference is too big. Once the Rockets' three-pointers are opened, these point differences may really allow them to catch up, so you must be more vigilant."

"Don't worry, coach, I know."

After Su Tian came on the court in the fourth quarter, he started the game with the ball and hit consecutive shots.

Harden looked on with envy.

Before Paul came, he obviously played like this. Now that Paul is here, not only does he not contribute much to the team, but he also earns a lot of salary.

Harden's resentment towards Paul is getting worse.

The game on the field ended steadily under Su Tian's control.

The Lakers finally won the game 121-101, completing their revenge against the Rockets.

After the game, Harden turned directly to the player tunnel without saying hello to anyone.

Su Tian knew that Harden was angry and was not targeting himself, so he smiled to himself and turned back.

Su Tian could tell that something was wrong with Harden, and the reporters on the sidelines naturally also saw it. These reporters have very sharp eyesight, and they can see something at the slightest sign of trouble.

Therefore, Harden naturally became the focus of these reporters' post-game interviews.

"James, what do you think of this game?"

"James, could you please comment on teammate Chris Paul's performance in this game?"

"Excuse me, what was the main reason for losing this game to the Lakers? If one person must bear the responsibility, who is that person?"

Facing the questions from these reporters, Harden would naturally not be stupid enough to tell the truth directly.

"The team's loss is our shared responsibility. I did not perform well against Su. I am the star player, so the main responsibility is of course mine. Paul is very good. He did everything he could."

Harden answered these reporters calmly.

But don't look at Harden's dull expression and think that what he said is dull.

He took the initiative to take responsibility and pointed out that he was the boss of this team.

When evaluating Paul, Harden said that he has done everything he can, but Paul only scored 18 points and 8 assists in this game, which is not good data.

Obviously, Harden is saying that Paul is only at this level, and this is his limit.

Naturally, these reporters could hear this, so they looked at each other and secretly rejoiced, "We have the headlines for today and tomorrow!"

As for the Lakers, after finishing the game with the Rockets, they took a day off.

On February 2, the Lakers moved to New Orleans to face the Pelicans.

Big Eyebrow did not play in this game. The Pelicans' record this season has dropped a lot, currently only 26 wins and 34 losses. With this record, it is undoubtedly very difficult to enter the playoffs.

In order to protect the health of thick eyebrows, I directly chose to take turns.

As a result, this game was easily won by the Lakers 128-95.

After the game, Su Tian went to the Pelicans' bench and hugged the thick eyebrows.

During the All-Star period, Su Tian and Nong Mei exchanged contact information, and their relationship became much closer.

This is also due to the previous disagreement between the management and Su Tian. The management intends to win the thick eyebrows. Su Tian naturally agrees with both hands, so Su Tian is also willing to establish a good relationship in advance.

On February 2, the Lakers went to Memphis and defeated the Grizzlies 25-110.

On February 2, the Lakers once again welcomed the Pelicans at home, and this time they played normally.

However, the game was still easily won by the Lakers.

Nong Mei played only 20 minutes in the game and scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, which was very efficient.

Su Tian seemed to have seen the corners of Jenny Bass's raised lips.
