NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 384 The haggard Paul George faces off against the new No. [-] pick

Su Tian made a flying dunk and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

George, who was barely keeping up, was directly hit by Su Tian, ​​which just accentuated the momentum of Su Tian's dunk.

Su Tian fell from the basket and pulled George up from the ground while smiling.

"How's it going Paul, how was the experience?"

"Oh, great."

"Great? Let's do it again?"

"Well, that's not necessary."

After this goal, the momentum of the Sutian team increased greatly, and the point difference became wider and wider.

When Su Tian came on the court again in the fourth quarter, the score difference had reached 20 points, but Su Tian still performed two more dunks, which the fans at the scene couldn't get enough of.

最终，比赛结束，苏天队161-140拿下比赛，苏天全场拿到了43分7助攻6篮板2抢断。

And the final All-Star MVP was naturally won by Su Tian.

After the game, Su Tian, ​​as a star among stars, naturally had to be interviewed.

"Su, first of all, congratulations on winning the All-Star MVP. Do you still want the MVP Grand Slam this season?"

Last season, Su Tian won the MVP Grand Slam and won the dpoy, which shocked many people, and established Su Tian's status as the No. 1 player this season.

"The MVP selection is not the first goal I want to pursue at the moment. What I want to pursue is the championship and victory!"

"Su, what are your expectations for the Lakers to defend their title this season? After all, they just lost to the Rockets."

"Expectations? My biggest expectation is to successfully defend my title. Whether it's 4-0 or 4-3, it's all part of the game."

After dealing with reporters, Su Tian's All-Star game journey was successfully concluded, but the All-Star vacation was not over yet.

The next day, Bill Duffy found Su Tian.

"Su, there are a few activities that need to be attended in the next two days, but they don't take much time. You just need to take photos and do interviews as required by the organizer."

Su Tian nodded and said, "Okay Bill, just follow your arrangements."

So, in the next two days, George and Butler had a lot of fun, while Su Tian attended various business activities as arranged by Bill Duffy.

On February 2, the Lakers returned to normal training, and Su Tian saw George again.

"Paul, are you going to donate blood? Why are you so haggard?"

I saw that George started panting after running two laps. He also had dark circles on his face and looked very haggard.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just stayed up late these two days playing games."

"Oh, playing games, is he serious about this game?"

"..."

"Okay, don't worry Su, I will adjust my condition quickly. Give me a day and I can definitely adjust."

Su Tian stepped forward, patted George, and said with a smile: "It's okay Paul, at worst, you can ask the coach to take two days off. I think he will understand."

"No, that wouldn't make me even more vain! Don't worry, I won't affect the game."

Hearing what George said, Su Tian had no choice but to give up.

On October 2, the Lakers faced the Grizzlies at home.

The Grizzlies are not strong, and they only have a sledgehammer at the third position, Kyle Anderson.

Therefore, George was relatively relaxed and did not show any outrageous state.

The Grizzlies' protagonist, Morant, was constantly harassed by Su Tian and found it difficult to perform well.

In the end, the Lakers won the game 117-92.

Although George did not show a strong side in this game, Su Tian also observed that George was at least [-]% recovered, and it should not be a problem in the next game.

On February 2, the Lakers faced the Celtics at home.

Tatum had an extraordinary performance in this game, scoring 39 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

杰伦-布朗因为和苏天对位，只拿到了10分3篮板2助攻，不过海沃德也算是给力，拿到了20分6助攻5篮板。

All three Celtics performed well, but in the end the victory was taken away by the Lakers, who won the game 117-109.

But Celtics fans and players are already very satisfied, because the main players of the Celtics and Lakers fought to the end!
In the fourth quarter, the Lakers relied on Su Tian's performance to firmly occupy the lead. In the end, it was Su Tian who activated the active skill "God's Hand" to completely determine the victory.

Su Tian scored 41 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds and 4 steals, the best in the game.

In this game, Su Tian also felt that the All-Star break still had an impact on the Lakers, both good and bad.

George, for example, is a bad influence.

乔治本场只拿到了12分4助攻4篮板，三分球4中1，这远低于乔治的平均水平。

"Paul, I'm serious. If it doesn't work, just ask the coach and take two days off."

Su Tian looked at George with concern.

Although Su Tian and the Lakers are getting stronger now, if they want to successfully defend their title, George is still an indispensable help.

"Don't worry, Su, I'm fine. I just need two games to adjust. This is a normal ups and downs in status, don't worry."

Although George said not to worry, Su Tian was still worried in his heart.

"By the way, Paul, in my hometown, there is a kind of fruit. If you soak it in water and drink it, it can restore your qi and blood. Well, it can restore your condition. I'll get some for you later."

George's eyes lit up when he heard what Su Tian said, but he immediately said doubtfully: "There can't be any bad elements in this, right?"

"Bad ingredients? No, don't worry, it's just a fruit, just like apples and pears."

"By the way, Ju said that drinking this regularly can make your waist stronger and stronger, so that you can still mount a horse and fight even if you are seven or eighty years old."

"Really! Su! You didn't lie to me!!"

"Of course! But this requires long-term persistence."

"Thank you so much man!"

Hearing that this thing had such an effect, George immediately became excited and wanted to give Su Tian a loving hug immediately.

But he was pushed away by Su Tian.

"Okay Paul, if that's the case, then you have a good rest and I'll get it to you later."

After saying that, Su Tian left immediately.

And the fruit Su Tian mentioned is naturally the well-known wolfberry.

As for whether it really has such an effect, Su Tian is not sure, but at least it is a psychological comfort.

On February 2, the Lakers played against the Pelicans at home.

Before going on the field, Su Tian saw that George's cup had been soaked with wolfberry, but George actually used energy drink to soak it!
Regarding such a strange combination, Su Tian originally wanted to remind him, but George took the lead in showing off this "wonderful idea". "Su, this combination of Chinese and Western methods has both the power of the mysterious East and current technology. The combination of the two will definitely produce better results!"

"Combination of Chinese and Western skills? Technology plus ruthless work? Then you are really difficult to kill." Su Tian thought to himself.

However, although this combination was strange, it didn't pose any big problems, so Su Tian didn't say anything more in the end.

And this game is not that easy.

Because George was too exhausted before, he could only provide support to Su Tian this time. The thick eyebrows can provide some help, but the thick eyebrows are the focus of the Pelicans.

So in the end, it was Su Tian who could decide the battlefield.

As for the Pelicans, Ingram has basically secured his position as the team leader, unless a player more talented than Ingram appears.

And now this person has appeared, this year's top pick in the draft, Zion Williams.

In the first half, the Pelicans actually played evenly with the Lakers despite the exhaustion of their lives, only trailing the Lakers by 5 points.

In the first half of the third quarter, the point difference was even close to 1 point. In the second half, thanks to Su Tian's three-pointer and Kuzma's performance, the point difference widened to 6 points.

However, at the end of the first three quarters, the point difference was only 6 points, and the Pelicans still deserve recognition.

Just when the entire Pelicans team was united and wanted to win the game in one go.

Su Tian in the fourth quarter directly destroyed the Pelicans' morale.

Su Tian made a sudden outside shot in the fourth quarter and used all kinds of skills to not only hold on to the lead, but also widen the point difference.

In the end, the Lakers won the game 117-101.

However, Su Tian was very tired after successfully winning the game.

This game was also Su Tian's first time playing against the new top pick on the court.

Williams scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in this game. This performance is already very good for a rookie. It is already very comprehensive, not to mention that the opponent is the Lakers who are in full swing.

The focus of the post-game interview was naturally on the No. [-] pick.

"Su, do you have any comments on the performance of No. [-] pick Williams?"

"Williams is an extremely good player. His strength, speed, and impact are rare in the NBA. His future is extremely bright, but he needs to pay attention to protecting his body."

Su Tian's interview here is relatively friendly. After all, Su Tian's status lies here.

The thick eyebrows are not so harmonious here, not only because the thick eyebrows are the former stars, but also the two are facing each other.

Williams played such an all-around performance, it must be said that he has the responsibility of thick eyebrows.

"Davis, what do you think of Williams? Who do you think is better than yourself?"

Nongmei's performance in this game was actually not bad, with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists. However, he did not gain a clear advantage in the direct dialogue with Williams. It can only be said that they were evenly matched.

"Well, Williams is an excellent player and his performance is very good, but the two of us have different tendencies. He is more of an outside player, and I am an inside player, so the two of us cannot discuss it together."

When Nongmei was traded, Nongmei himself also pushed hard, so the local media in New Orleans still had some resentment towards Nongmei.

But in the end, these reporters didn't particularly embarrass Nongmei. After all, he was a star who came out of New Orleans.

Wharton found Su Tian the next day and told him directly.

"Su, you have a rest for tomorrow's game. This is not a discussion, this is a notice."

"Um, good coach."

Although Wharton's attitude was very tough, Su Tian knew that Wharton was protecting himself.

On February 2, the Lakers played away against the Warriors.

On the Lakers side, Su Tian takes turns, and George and Big Eyebrow lead the team, while on the Warriors side, there is only one Green, and not even Wiggins.

So the Lakers won this game steadily, 116-86, and the Warriors had no power to resist.

On February 2, the Lakers played against the Grizzlies away from home.

Su Tian made his comeback this time, but George and Nongmei were rested, so Su Tian led the team alone.

With the strength of the Grizzlies, even if Su Tian leads the team alone, there should be no problem.

Facts have proved that there is indeed no problem with these outside lines, and Su Tian held them firmly.

But inside, Valanciunas was going crazy with rebounds.

After the fourth quarter started, Su Tian joined the fight for rebounds, which relieved the pressure on the inside.

The Lakers finally won the game 115-98. Although they won the game, Valanciunas still scored 20 points and 17 rebounds.

Normally, the thick eyebrows are not reflected when they are there. Now that the thick eyebrows are gone, the importance of thick eyebrows to the Lakers is reflected.

Without thick eyebrows, the Lakers' inside line is indeed still relatively fragile.

A mere Valanciunas can get such data in the Lakers' interior.

At this point, all the Lakers games in February are over.

But the Lakers' journey isn't over yet.

The very next day, March 3, the Lakers played back-to-back away games against the Pelicans.

Su Tian took another break this time, with George and Nongmei leading the team.

Walton's frequent rest breaks are naturally intended to keep the Lakers in a healthy state, but in this way the Lakers' record cannot be guaranteed.

Just like this game, the Lakers lost 114-122.

锡安-威廉姆斯迎来一场大爆发，全场拿到35分7篮板2助攻，英格拉姆也拿到了19分4篮板4助攻。

As for the Lakers, George and Big Eyebrow both scored 20+, but they still lost in the end. Neither of them could make a final decision at the critical moment in the last quarter.

After the game, the Lakers finally returned to Los Angeles to recuperate.

Zion performed better in each of the two games against the Pelicans. It is impossible to say that he doesn't feel anything.

"Anthony, what's wrong? Are you so decadent after losing a game?" George patted the thick eyebrow on the back.

"It's nothing." The thick eyebrow smiled reluctantly.

"Anthony, actually I know how you feel. I felt the same way when I returned to Indiana. Don't worry, as long as we win the championship, everything will pass."

"Yes, I know."

In competitive sports, performance is everything and food is the original sin.

As long as the thick eyebrows perform well this season and successfully win the championship, all rumors and doubts about the thick eyebrows will be dispelled without any attack.

Just like Su Tian, ​​when Su Tian first came to the Lakers, the outside world was mostly ridiculed, especially the local media in Cleveland.

But when Su Tian won the MVP, the championship, and even the Grand Slam last season, most of the discussions about Su Tian were praise.

As the saying goes, when you are good, you are surrounded by compliments and everyone you meet is very friendly.
