Chapter 340 Hits the best record in history! ! !
"Achieve the best record in history?"

Obviously, Su Tian did not expect the Lakers management to have such an idea.

"Yes, Su, you also know that we have always put the health of the players first, just to avoid the situation of the previous Warriors."

"But now our lineup is complete, and we know from the team doctor that everyone is in very good health. There are only a dozen games left, so we thought we might as well try to have an impact. What do you think?"

Su Tian did not answer Johnson immediately, but was still thinking with his head down.

Su Tian has always declared that he will not deliberately pursue results. On the one hand, he does not want to put pressure on the players, and on the other hand, he does not want to be framed by fans and media.

Once it is framed by these media, it will not consume 01:30 points for the team.

"Okay, I agree, but don't announce it to the outside world. Just talk to the coach and a few key players. If it is too obvious, it will be easily targeted."

Su Tian finally compromised. Su Tian understood that [-]% of the people who made this suggestion were Aunt Jenny, and it was difficult for Su Tian to refute directly. After all, she was the boss.

As soon as Su Tian said these words, Aunt Jenny suddenly smiled on her face.

"Don't worry, Su. Stars are the foundation of the team. I still know this. We will definitely put the health of the players first and it will never affect the playoffs."

Su Tian nodded, and the matter was settled.

The next day, when the team was training, Walton called over several of the team's main players.

"Guys, everyone has performed well recently. Everyone knows our regular season record this season. After discussions with the management, we have decided to strive for the best record in history. However, everyone must keep this matter confidential and do not announce it to the outside world for the time being. , I am telling you now because I want you to be prepared, and we will try our best to pursue victory in the following games!"

After Walton finished speaking, there were various expressions among the players.

Because Su Tian had known about it for a long time, there were no emotional fluctuations. George was slightly excited, and Butler also showed a very interested expression.

As for other players, some are worried that their playing time will be reduced, while others are very excited. After all, the opportunity to break the best record in history is not always available.

"Okay coach, we follow the team's arrangements."

"Great, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

"There is no problem with the coach, our lineup is complete, and we still have a great chance."

Walton looked at everyone's status and basically agreed, so he said: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, it's settled. Let's go back to training first, and we will talk about the specific adjustments later."

After Wharton left, George and Butler came to Su Tian's side.

"Su, that's great! This is the best record in history!" George looked excited.

"Yes, Su, this is a good opportunity. There are not many games left, and we really have a chance." Butler also continued.

Su Tian smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, this is a good opportunity, but you two must be careful not to play injured for the sake of victory. This time it will affect our championship."

"Don't worry Su, we all have a sense of propriety and we won't make fun of the championship."

"Yes, don't worry, Su. The championship is our first goal."

Butler and George obviously agreed with the team management's decision. After all, this is a mark that can leave a mark in NBA history.

On March 3, the Lakers played at home against the Brooklyn Nets.

In this game, Walton tried to increase the playing time of some of the team's main players, but because George and Butler were both excited, the score difference was already 20 points after the first three quarters of this game.

In the fourth quarter, Su Tian only played for 3 minutes before being replaced and rested.

In the end, the Lakers easily won 118-96.

On the 24th, the Lakers continued to play at home against the Kings.

114-100, no pressure to continue winning.

On the 26th, they played at home against the Wizards.

Wizards Wall was unable to play due to injury, but the Lakers won the game in three quarters and continued their winning streak.

On the 27th, the Lakers played back-to-back away games against the Jazz.

Because this game is an away game and back-to-back, the Lakers are under a lot of pressure.

It was not until the fourth quarter that Su Tian activated the "King of the Last Quarter" and took control of the initiative. One minute before the end, Su Tian activated the "Hand of God" to seal the victory.

In the end, the Lakers won the game 117-110.

This match was quite thrilling, but luckily Su Tiandou held it in check.

On the 29th, the Lakers returned to their home court again to face the Hornets.

Everyone who was well rested worked hard again. Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Hornets took the initiative to replace the main players and surrendered.

On the 31st, the last game in March, the Lakers played away against the Pelicans.

The thick eyebrows still did not play in this game, and the Lakers all felt on the line, winning the game 130-102.

On April 4, the Lakers came to Oklahoma and played away against the Thunder.

After the Thunder lost Paul George and Anthony, the team could only rely on Westbrook to support the team. The team's record declined and it has basically fallen out of the playoffs.

But even so, Westbrook still did not give up the game and still dedicated his performance to the fans in every game.

This kind of professionalism is something Su Tian admires, so Su Tian also showed his respect in this game and tried his best to defend Westbrook.

Under the offensive of the Lakers' Big Three, the Thunder simply could not stop it and eventually lost.

119-93, despite Su Tian's defense, Westbrook, as the star of the Thunder, still scored 20+ data.

After the game, Westbrook came to the Lakers' bench and found George and Su Tian.

After hugging each other, Westbrook said: "Su, I know what you are going to do this season. Come on, take my part and defeat the Warriors! Win the championship!"

Westbrook said it very seriously, and Su Tian also understood his inner reluctance.

"Don't worry Russell, the Warriors can't stop us."

After talking to Su Tian, ​​Westbrook turned to look at George.

"Paul, my good brother, I support your decision and hope you can realize your dream. Also, if you meet the Warriors, you will face that guy and defeat him! Then tell him that I actually don't hate him. , I just blame him, why didn’t he tell me all this.”

George and Westbrook looked at each other, "Don't worry, Russell, I will beat him."

After the game against the Thunder, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

The next game is very critical. George is also working hard to adjust his state and strive to be in his best state.

On April 4, the entire Lakers team came to Staples to face the visiting Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors currently have 53 wins and 24 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

After the last conflict broke out, the Warriors staged a soap opera for a while, but was eventually suppressed by Warriors officials.

However, Su Tian discovered through his own observation that the conflict between Durant and the Warriors was not resolved, but merely covered up.

Now the Warriors are just barely maintaining superficial harmony. All of this is the temptation brought about by three consecutive championships.

As long as the Warriors cannot complete three consecutive championships this year, the Universe Warriors will definitely disintegrate.

The game started quickly, with both sides choosing their previous starting lineups.

The Warriors took the first right of attack. Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball to Green, who again passed the ball to Cousins ​​in the low post.

Cousins ​​caught the ball and beat Nance and hit a layup.

0-2
The Warriors' first round looked no different from before, everything was going according to plan.But Su Tian could feel that there was less communication between Warriors players.

Halfway through the first quarter, both sides made personnel adjustments normally, and Durant came down to rest.

After Durant came off the court, the Warriors' offensive threat became smaller, but their coordination seemed to become smoother.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 33-28, and the Lakers temporarily led by 5 points.

In the second quarter, Green came off the court and Durant came on to lead the team.

Su Tian observed that Durant and Green had no communication at all.

After Durant returned to the court, he was full of offensive desire and continued to attack with the ball. George struggled to defend alone.

Seeing this, Su Tian joined in the defense of Durant, effectively limiting Durant's performance.

At the end of the first half, the score difference between the two teams reached 8 points, still in single digits.

At halftime, Walton came to the locker room.

"I don’t think I need to say more in the third quarter of the Warriors. Everyone knows it, so the main players should be prepared. Your playing time will increase. You must not let the Warriors shoot in the third quarter!"

Soon, the third quarter came.

As expected, the Warriors won the five-small lineup, and the Lakers naturally responded with the starting lineup.

Under Su Tian's defense, it was difficult for Curry to perform exceptionally, and it was even difficult to maintain normal performance. Therefore, Cole also deliberately made some adjustments and focused the third quarter's offense on Clay and On Durant.

It's not easy for Clay to face Butler, but he is under less pressure than Curry.

So after the start of the third quarter, Curry used no ball to contain Su Tian. Green held the ball at the top of the arc and passed a pass to Klay who was running out.

Clay caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

boom--

It's a pity that Butler interfered when he took the shot.

George turned around, grabbed the basketball, and started the fast break.

However, the Warriors retreated quickly and failed to start a fast break, so George passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and directly beat Curry.

Came to the inside and made a layup directly.

Su Tian's speed was too fast, and it was too late for others to help defend him.

After two more rounds, the scores between the two teams were at a stalemate, and the point difference did not change much.

The Warriors have always wanted to increase the speed and rhythm, but Su Tian is also a master of field control, so naturally he will not let the Warriors succeed easily.

Just when Lakers fans thought the third quarter would be over safely, Durant suddenly broke out and hit three consecutive three-pointers, bringing the point difference to 2 points.

At this time, Su Tian immediately took control of the ball, slowly advanced with the ball, and began to press the rhythm.

After arriving in the frontcourt, facing Curry, Su Tian first exploded and pretended to break through, then stepped back and returned to the three-point line, shooting a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian successfully hit a three-pointer.

The point difference returned to 5 points.

At this time, there were only 5 seconds left in the third quarter. Curry caught the ball and wanted to advance quickly, but was blocked by Su Tian. Curry had no choice but to shoot a three-pointer from far away.

boom--

Unfortunately, Su Tian interfered with his shot and the three-pointer hit the backboard and missed.

"It was so thrilling. Seeing that the third quarter was about to end, Kevin suddenly broke out." Barkley said.

"Yes, this reminds us once again that we should not underestimate any player. As long as he stands on the court, he will bring a certain threat." Smith said.

At this time, the score difference between the two teams was 5 points, which was not obvious. The Warriors still retained the possibility of chasing points and coming back.

As for the Lakers, Walton thought about it again and again.

"Su, Jimmy, you two come together in the fourth quarter! Jimmy, hold on for 3 minutes. I will replace Paul in 3 minutes. Paul, hurry up and recover. You will play after 3 minutes of the opening."

Then, Wharton turned to look at Su Tian.

"Su, Jimmy and Paul can only assist you in the fourth quarter. Our confidence is still yours, so while ensuring your own safety, try your best to score!"

"Good coach, I understand."

The inter-section break ended quickly and the fourth quarter began.

After Su Tian came on the court, he first made a steal and intercepted Livingston's pass.

Immediately after holding the ball, he started a fast break, but after arriving in the frontcourt, he did not rush to the basket, but directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian made a steady three-pointer.

At this time, Su Tian, ​​who has been blessed by the king of the final quarter, is more terrifying in three-point shooting than Curry.

The Warriors organized an offense again. This time Iguodala came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Durant.

Durant received the ball, faced Butler's defense, changed direction and made a jump shot.

Swah——

Durant also made a shot.

"Kevin and Sue are having sex!"

"Yes, this is exciting!"

In the next few consecutive rounds, both of them came up with different ways to score goals, but in the end, Durant was worse in terms of shooting percentage and efficiency.

When 3 minutes were up, Walton called a timeout and replaced George.

The Warriors also took the opportunity to make substitutions, bringing in both Curry and Green.

In fact, the Warriors' record is firmly second in the Western Conference. They can't catch up with the Lakers who are first, and they can't catch up with the Nuggets who are third.

But the Warriors still put out their best lineup because Cole wanted to gain a psychological advantage against the Lakers.

Unfortunately, Cole's wishful thinking was shattered by Su Tian.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian showed his superb finishing ability, including pull-up jumpers, fadeaways, three-pointers, hooks, and breakthroughs. He gained something with every shot.

In the end, under the leadership of Su Tian, ​​the Lakers won the game 118-107.

苏天全场拿到55分14助攻10篮板3抢断2盖帽，只在第四节就独得31分。

Barkley looked at Su Tian in the fourth quarter and sighed a lot.

"Perhaps this is Su's true strength, but I don't know why, but he is always willing to show such a state in the fourth quarter."
