NBA Old Age Star System

Soon the game started, with Thick Eyebrow grabbing the ball, Brunson got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Brunson faced a problem-it was LeBron James who defended him.

Su Tian saw Brunson's embarrassment, so he took the initiative to respond and reached out for the ball.

Upon seeing this, Brunson immediately passed the ball and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Su Tian got the ball, he faced much less pressure than in the previous games.

Su Tian stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to pull away. After they were all in position, Su Tianshuang changed directions and shook off Pope's defense. Then he burst into the inside and succeeded in a one-handed chop.

Su Tian contributed a dunk at the beginning, and the audience burst into applause.

"Beautiful! Su is still in such good condition!" Buckley couldn't help but praise.

The ball was transferred, the Clippers attacked, and James advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

At this time, the Clippers' killer move was truly revealed.

Brunson looked at James in front of him and chose to play from behind, and he shouted in his heart that James had committed a foul!
But at this time Brunson had no other choice but to hold up James and use all his strength.

Many old fans know that many years ago, a small player named Barea was able to briefly hit James on the back.

But to be honest at that time, James' back-up skills were not mature, but now, James has become better at using his back-up skills.

Even though Brunson used all his strength, he was still pushed inside by James.

Fortunately, James didn't really push all the way to the basket. Instead, he turned over and shot a jumper one step inside the free throw line.

Of course, this is not a discovery of James' conscience, but the distance is just right for James to take action. If he goes further in, he will have to deal with the help of thick eyebrows.

bang - swish -

The basketball hits the backboard and bounces into the net.

2-2
"Well, it seems that the Clippers' adjustment is very effective so far. At least they can provide a lot of threats on the offensive end." Barkley rubbed his chin and said.

"Indeed, if you put James at the No. [-] position, it would be a disaster for other teams!" Kenny Smith said.

The ball was given to the Lakers again, and Brunson once again advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Although Brunson was bullied miserably by James just now, Brunson is not a player who gives up easily. Brunson's fighting spirit is still very high.

Su Tian, ​​who was on the side, saw Brunson's high fighting spirit, and looked at Brunson to give Brunson a try with the ball.

Brunson was very excited after receiving the permission, and directly stretched out his hand to call thick eyebrows to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Brunson explodes with all his speed and rushes directly to the basket.

Although James has just shown his strength advantage, he is really no match for Brunson's speed at this time.

Brunson accelerated away from James' defense and went straight to the basket.

At this time, Clippers insider Zubac wanted to help defend, but Brunson deceived him by turning around and fake passing the ball, so he succeeded in an easy layup.

4-2
"Don't tell me, this little guy Brunson is really fast! He has a pretty smart mind too!" Barkley couldn't help but say.

"This is just taking advantage of his physical advantage. Brunson is younger and faster. It is normal for James to be unable to catch up." Kenny Smith explained.

"Physical advantage? Kenny, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Who is Brunson or James taking advantage of the physical advantage?"

At this time, as the two bickered, the game on the field was also going on, and James once again held the ball and launched an attack.

But this time George took the initiative to help defend against double teams. James passed the ball to Morris outside the three-point line during the double teams.

Morris took the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Although thick eyebrows came to help defend when he took a shot, it did not affect Morris's normal shot.

Swah——

Morris hit a three-pointer.

The Lakers attacked again. This time Su Tian received the ball, and after facing Pope, he also swayed away and stepped back to hit a three-pointer steadily.

7-5
The two sides seemed to be fighting each other, with neither one willing to give in first.

And the coaches on both sides also had a tacit understanding and did not call a timeout.

It was not until the official suspension that the confrontation between the two sides came to an end.

James returned to the bench, breathing heavily as he reached for the towel that was handed to him.

"LeBron, you're doing well. Just follow this pace and keep working hard."

Rivers stepped forward and patted James on the shoulder.

James didn't speak, just nodded.

At this time, there was no point difference between the Clippers and the Lakers, and they were basically alternating the lead. Rivers felt that this should be his last chance to win against the Lakers, so he really didn't want to give up.

On the Lakers' bench, Walton came to Su Tian's side.

"Su, how are you feeling? Should we adjust the lineup?"

Su Tian shook his head and said, "No, letting James attack first is part of our strategy. Now it's just a stalemate, there's no need to change our tactics."

That's right, letting James take the main offense at the beginning is the Lakers' conspiracy against the Clippers.

In this lineup matchup, anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that the Clippers have the advantage, especially at the No. [-] position.

Logically speaking, this was putting his own weakness first, but Su Tian finally chose this tactic after considering James's exhausted body.

Before starting the series with the Lakers, the Clippers had already played 7 games with the Nuggets. James was exhausted, especially now that he is older and it is not easy to recover from physical fatigue.

So in order to let James consume in advance, the Lakers made this choice after comprehensive consideration.

After the official timeout, both sides made simple substitution adjustments and took the field again.

Although some substitution adjustments have been made, the overall tactical strategies of both sides have not changed.

The two teams once again fell into a confrontation.

Originally, James thought that after returning from the timeout, the Lakers would double-team him more, so that he could drive the team by passing the ball and consume less.

But I didn't expect that the Lakers had very few options for double-teaming, and some of them still didn't want to double-team.

This forced James to increase the proportion of his shots, further intensifying his physical exertion.

At the end of the first quarter, 31-29, the Clippers were only 2 points behind.

"Judging from the first quarter, the Lakers seemed to be very determined in their tactics against James, which was to let James take action himself," Barkley said. "Yes, that's right, I think this should be the Lakers' tactical choice to increase James' consumption," Kenny Smith said.

Barkley on the side also nodded and continued: "There is no doubt that James is the core of the Clippers' offensive end. His organization and passing ability are still higher than Leonard's. Once the Clippers lose James' help in the second half, If so, the Clippers will be unable to move forward."

"That's when the veteran will be truly tested."

Soon the inter-section break ended, the second quarter began, and James also rested off the court.

The Lakers are back on track in this game, letting George lead the team while Su Tian and Nongmei rest.

Leonard and George exchanged blows respectively, and the score on the field was constantly changing, but the overall form on the field did not change much.

Until halfway through the second quarter, George came off the court to rest, and Su Tian and Nongmei came on again.

The Clippers also took Leonard to rest and let James come on to lead the team. Su Tian finally faced off with James again.

"LeBron, I've said it a long time ago. When you get older, you have to admit it sooner when you're not good enough. You're still being stubborn."

"Hey, kid, you're still young. I tell you, don't underestimate the heart of a championship!"

"I have never underestimated the championship, but unfortunately, you are not the championship, I am!"

As soon as Su Tian finished speaking, he cut off the ball in James' hand with a knife.

Su Tian took a step forward and quickly grabbed the basketball. He ran straight to the frontcourt with the ball, and James turned around to pursue him.

In fact, the moment the ball was cut off, James knew that he would definitely not be able to catch up, but James couldn't stand still and do nothing, so he had to turn around and run, pretending to chase and block the shot.

Su Tian took the lead and came to the basket in the frontcourt. After seeing the right opportunity, he collected the ball and took off, dunking with both hands.

After Su Tian landed, he saw James chasing behind him.

"LeBron, if you're running so slowly, stop running and save your energy on offense."

James didn't speak anymore this time, and just glanced at Su Tian.

The Clippers attacked again, and James once again held the ball against Su Tian's defense.

This time James did not act rashly. He reached out and called his teammates to step forward to pick and roll. With the help of the pick and roll, he wanted to directly hold the ball and get inside, but he was intercepted again as soon as he started.

In desperation, James had to change the face frame into a back frame.

Playing from behind to push forward, trying to get to the right position.

After so many battles, Su Tian naturally knew James' favorite attack points, and naturally he would not let James go to those places and stand up to James.

James watched the time go by little by little, and had no choice but to do the next best thing, reach a similar mid-range position, turn over and shoot a jumper.

But unfortunately, there is a reason why these places are not James' "hot areas".

boom--

Basketball strikes, the thick eyebrows turned around to collect the rebound, and directly passed a quarterback long pass to Su Tian who was running a fast break.

He suddenly accelerated to get the basketball, came to the frontcourt again and dunked successfully.

Seeing Su Tian's high-spirited look, James put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but remember that he once had a big man who passed the ball like this.

In today's league, it's difficult to find a big man who can pass the ball like this.

James shook his head and continued to start a new round of offense.

Because Su Tian blocked James in the second quarter, James' efficiency plummeted.

In addition, Su Tian has always focused on one-on-one defense against James, so James has never been able to find the right time to pass the ball.

This resulted in James not only being unable to perform offensively in the second quarter, but also failing to provide assists and organization.

At the end of the first half, the score difference was widened to 10 points.

"Okay audience friends, the first half is over. The Lakers are currently leading by 10 points and the Clippers are temporarily behind. Kenny, what do you think of the first half of the two teams?"

"In the first quarter, there was no doubt that the Clippers' change of formation was very successful, but it also left a hidden danger, which was James' physical problem. We thought this would explode in the second half, but we didn't expect it in the second half. It started to show up in the second quarter. When LeBron came out again in the second quarter, his combat effectiveness and contribution to the team were far inferior to those in the first quarter."

At this time, Barkley, who was next to Kenny Smith, shook his head and said: "Kenny, I don't quite agree with what you said. I didn't feel that James had a physical crisis in the second quarter. He was more like being killed by Su." ”

"Preventing death? Don't make trouble. Although James is older now and Su is at the top of his game, but Su wants to prevent James from dying?" Kenny Smith shook his head repeatedly.

"But Su is a dpoy!"

"What can dpoy do? That's LeBron James!"

Regardless of whether what the two people said at this time was sincere or against their will, in short, the topic was immediately full, and the ratings were also rising.

This is like regardless of whether the author of the novel is Zhan Hei or Ku Hei, as long as he can attract readers, he is successful.

At this time, the two teams' locker rooms were also discussing the tactical arrangements for the second half.

Rivers was holding a tactical board, but there was nothing on the tactical board and he was talking endlessly.

"We are already 10 points behind, guys, but it's not scary because the game is not over yet! What's scary? What's scary is that you have lost the courage to fight the Lakers!"

"Tell me! Do you still have such courage? Louder!!"

It has to be said that Rivers is very provocative at this time, but the two most important cores of the team have not yet moved.

However, there are still players who echoed the call, such as Lou Williams, Beverley, and Harrell.

These are all reused by Rivers, and they are in the same camp as Rivers.

Of course, there are also those who choose to stand with the two cores, such as Pope, the players brought by these two cores.

The atmosphere in the Clippers locker room is very strange, but the Lakers' side is much better.

"Su, in the second half we will stick to the original plan and cannot leave any hope to the Clippers!"

"Good coach!"

Walton just once again emphasized the tactics and strategies laid out before the game, and didn't say anything more. He just asked everyone to take a good rest.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Lakers locker room was also very relaxed and comfortable. Everyone was talking and laughing. George was drinking wolfberry from a thermos cup and making recommendations to Brunson next to him while drinking.

The thick eyebrow man was scrolling through social media on his mobile phone, laughing while looking at it.

Seeing the silence and harmony in the locker room, Su Tian also felt very peaceful inside.

Soon, the intermission ended and the two sides returned to the field again.

The starting lineups of both sides in the third quarter still chose to start in the first quarter, and James was once again pushed to a key node for the Clippers. (End of chapter)
