NBA Old Age Star System

Butler successfully hit the first goal in the opening game, which was a response to Su Tian's goal, but the thrill of this goal was obvious to all.

Even Butler himself seemed a little surprised when he saw that he hit the ball.

The ball changed again, and Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball. This time, Su Tian also called on his teammates to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to directly stop and shoot a jump shot.

Swah——

Su Tian hit the target steadily again.

The Lakers' offense is guaranteed to hit consecutive hits, but the Heat are hanging on.

When Butler attacked with the ball again, he was almost intercepted directly by Su Tian. Butler could only pass the ball to his teammates, but his teammates took shots. After all, the Heat's offense failed to keep up with the Lakers' rhythm.

After the next few rounds, the point difference was widened to more than 20 points, and Spoelstra still called a timeout.

"Kenny, look, I'm just telling you! How could the Lakers lose?" Barkley crossed his arms and looked very proud.

"Charles, don't be happy so early. There is still time in the fourth quarter, and it's not even halfway through the fourth quarter. The Heat still have a chance, although it's only theoretical."

"Okay Kenny, I know you are quibbling, but I can still tell you for sure that I have enough confidence!" Barkley said with a smile.

At this time, on the Heat's bench, Spoelstra was scratching his head with his tactical board. The gap in strength between the two teams was too obvious. The Heat had no other options except to take everything.

Butler also saw Spoelstra's embarrassment, stepped forward and patted Spoelstra on the shoulder.

"Coach, leave the game to me. This is the only way we can do it now, isn't it?"

Sibo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then he nodded.

"Yes, we can only rely on you now, Jimmy."

So Spoelstra no longer bothered with how to arrange the tactics, but began to select teammates for Butler to make substitutions. After the substitution was completed, the timeout ended, and Butler slowly walked onto the court under Spoelstra's expectant eyes.

As for the Lakers, because the time has not yet reached Walton's expected substitution time, they did not make early substitutions. Of course, the most important thing is because the Lakers have an absolute advantage at this time, and Walton has enough confidence.

The timeout ends and the game starts again.

After the Heat made substitutions, the overall combat effectiveness exploded straight up, but if they want to chase points, they still need to put in a lot of effort.

After playing again, Su Tian took the initiative to lead Butler, which forced Butler to give the team's main offensive responsibilities to Vincent and Dragic, as well as Adebayor inside.

However, the Lakers still have thick eyebrows sitting inside, so Adebayor is obviously restricted and unable to perform in a good state. Therefore, in the end, the Heat can only count on Vincent and Dragic for their main offensive responsibilities.

As for the Lakers, Caruso followed Vincent closely. As former teammates, the two were relatively familiar with each other, so after Caruso spent all his energy on defense, Vincent's performance also improved. Relatively average.

After Vincent's attack was blocked, the Heat once again shifted their offensive focus and allowed Dragic to attack with the ball.

As a result, the pressure on Nunn's side seemed to be relatively high, but with Su Tian and Nongmei assisting him, he could barely hold on.

But looking back, the Heat seem to be struggling on the defensive end. Whether it's Butler defending Su Tian or Adebayor's thick eyebrows in charge of defense, neither of them has a matchup advantage and they are struggling on the defensive end.

After a few rounds, the point difference was not caught up, but continued to widen.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Walton took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to use the entire starting lineup and directly ended the game.

"Okay Kenny, don't I say anything more now? I think if this was just a regular season game, and if the Lakers' opponent was not the Heat, then the main players should have been replaced by now and it would be garbage time." Barkley said with both hands For a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.

"Okay Charles, you won this time, but don't be too happy. This game is over, but the next game has not started yet, and the next game will be against Miami. Now, Charles, Do you dare to say that the Lakers still won the third game?"

Kenny Smith's expression looked very cunning, obviously digging a hole for Barkley to jump.

"No problem! Kenny! I will continue to bet with you! The Lakers will still win the next game!"

Buckley naturally understood what Smith meant, so he pretended to be satisfied, as if he didn't even notice the hole dug by Smith.

At this time, the game on the court was gradually coming to an end, and the score difference was still more than 20 points, but Butler was stubborn and unwilling to leave the game.

However, Butler was too immersed in his own world and did not notice that his teammates around him were already feeling war-weary. After all, Butler did not have the bonus of Su Tian's "Big Boss" badge, so it was not surprising that his teammates showed resistance and impatience. Very normal.

In the end, the game ended steadily. The Lakers won the game 125-101, and the big score reached 2-0. The Lakers' lead became more and more obvious.

After the game, Su Tian came to the midfield position as usual. Originally, Su Tian wanted to hug Butler and greet him, but he did not expect that Butler would not come to the midfield position at all. After the game, he turned around and walked back to the locker room.

Looking at Butler's leaving figure, Su Tian also smiled helplessly.

Su Tian knew that Butler was not targeting him, but just because he lost the game and was angry with himself.

Su Tian scored a total of 37 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds in this game, once again serving as the undisputed best player in the game.

However, Butler's performance was not bad. He scored 23 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds. Although the statistics were not high, he was also the undisputed leader of the Heat.

In the post-game interview, a reporter naturally asked Butler about his behavior of turning around and leaving the table after the game.

Butler said: "I didn't mean to be disrespectful to my opponents, it was just because my own performance did not meet my own standards. It was not directed at the Lakers players."

At this time, another reporter stood up and asked: "Butler, as a former Lakers player, what do you think of the current Lakers team?"

Butler pondered for a moment and said: "There is no doubt that the Lakers are a very good team. They have an excellent team, excellent coaching staff and management, but now that the Lakers are my opponent, I will naturally come up with something." I will devote all my energy to dealing with it, and I will not be afraid of any opponent.”

At this time, there is also a lot of discussion on the Internet about the predictions of the next games in the finals.

"Although I don't like Barkley's face, I have to admit that the Lakers will definitely win! The Heat are no match for the Lakers."

"The Heat's mental attributes are commendable, but there is no doubt about the strength of the Lakers. The Heat will not have another chance."

"The Lakers are already 2-0. The next game will be in Miami. This should be the Heat's last chance. I just don't know if the Heat can seize it."

"Miami is the home court of the Heat, but the Lakers don't have the tradition of being away from home. The 20-point difference is simply despairing."

The discussion on the Internet was in a hustle and bustle. Su Tian also took a look and found that most of them were optimistic about the Lakers, and there was basically no one who was absolutely optimistic about the Heat.

But the more this happened, the less Su Tian dared to be careless and the more cautious he became.

Butler and the Heat are so weird. The less everyone thinks of them, the more they can explode into extraordinary strength.

The day after the game, the Lakers gathered their players to go to Miami to prepare for the next game in advance.

After the Lakers players came to Miami, Walton also asked the players not to go out at will.

Su Tian is also taking the time to rest and adjust. After all, the intensity of the finals is not low.

Time quickly came to two days later, and the third game of the finals was about to come.

Players from both sides arrived at the arena on time, and Su Tian also felt the enthusiasm of local Miami fans.

"Beat the Lakers!!!" "Destroy the Lakers!!!"

"Come on Heat! Come on Jimmy!!"

"Heat! Win the championship! Heat! Win the championship!"

The Heat fans at the scene were very excited, and Su Tian was also slightly shocked by these scenes.

Soon the referee blew the whistle and players from both sides began to take the field.

The Lakers still have the previous starting lineup, while the Heat have chosen to use the starting lineup from the previous game.

Vincent, Dragic, Butler, Crowder, Adebayo.

Before the game started, Su Tian deliberately slipped to Butler's side.

"Jimmy, tell me secretly how you plan to play in this game, buddy."

Looking at Su Tian's expression, Butler knew that this was Su Tian's traditional skill that was disturbing his mentality.

"Su, in this case, we plan to..."

"What are you planning to do?"

"Don't tell you."

drop--

At this time, the referee blew the whistle and the basketball was thrown high. McGee was the first to touch the basketball and successfully grabbed the right to attack.

Brunson got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. He did not rush to pass the ball, but after observing the defensive formation, he made a gesture with his hand.

Immediately after the Lakers began to run according to the tactics, Brunson took the opportunity to break through, attracted the Heat's defense, and passed a pass to the left corner.

At this time, George received the ball in the left corner and shot a three-pointer directly.

boom--

At the beginning, George's touch was not very hot yet.

But just when the basketball just popped out of the basket, Su Tian suddenly appeared under the basket, jumped high, and dunked directly.

2-0
"Wow! How did Su show up! Why did he suddenly appear under the basket!" Barkley couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This is the ability of superstars to seize opportunities!" Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh.

The ball was transferred and the Heat attacked. Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Butler.

The person responsible for defending Butler at this time is Paul George. Although not as strong as Su Tian's defense, it is still enough to deal with it.

Butler also knew George's defensive strength, so he directly reached out and called Adebayor to step forward.

With the help of Adebayor's pick-and-roll, Butler broke through with the ball.

George ran quickly, trying to get around the pick-and-roll, but was still a step too slow. Upon seeing this, McGee immediately returned to defend the basket to prevent Butler from directly attacking the frame.

Butler saw McGee go directly back to the basket, so he quickly stopped and took a jump shot.

Swah——

The basketball hits steadily.

2-2
"The Heat's response was very timely! It seems that Butler is in good shape in this game, but I don't know how the rest of the Heat are in shape."

The ball was given to the Lakers again. This time Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian didn't hesitate when he got the ball. First, he forced Dragic to take half a step back with a triple threat, and then directly shot a three-pointer.

The basketball hit the basket straight away.

5-2
"Okay, Su also responded, and he shot a three-pointer as soon as he shot it. It seems to be a good touch."

The Heat attacked again. This time Butler held the ball, broke through and attracted the defense, and passed to Crowder on the outside. Crowder passed the ball to Adebayor again.

Adebayor took the ball and took a two-point shot.

bang - swish -

The basketball stumbled and hit.

5-4
"Adebayor on the Heat's side also hit a shot. Is this game a duel?" Barkley said.

The next few rounds seemed to confirm Barkley's conjecture. The scores of the two teams continued to rise without stopping.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Lakers and Heat were 35-31, and the Lakers only led by 4 points.

Taking advantage of the break, Kenny Smith once again brought up Barkley's bet.

"Charles, do you still admit your previous bet?" Kenny Smith said with a smile.

"Don't worry Kenny, I won't break my promise. I'm just wearing a bikini. Besides, I won't lose." Barkley looked very confident, as if the Lakers were not leading by 4 points now, but by 14 points.

"Okay, since you still admit it, I'm relieved. I also ask the viewers in front of the TV to bear witness and don't let Charles escape punishment!"

The two commentators in the commentary box livened up the atmosphere, but the atmosphere on the benches of the two teams was not so joyful.

Especially the Lakers.

Walton looked at the players in front of him with a serious expression.

"Guys, the Heat's performance in this game is obviously extraordinary, but you don't need to panic and don't make stupid mistakes!"

"It's just that the score difference is small now, it doesn't mean that we are behind! So everyone must cheer up and concentrate!"

Walton was obviously not very satisfied with the performance of some players just now, so he once again emphasized concentration.

On the Heat side, Spoelstra seemed more excited. Spoelstra himself had not felt this kind of excitement for a long time. The last time he felt it was probably the Heat during the Big Three era.

"Guys, listen to me, now is our best opportunity! Don't give up this hard-won opportunity! Whether you can defeat the Lakers depends on your performance in this game!"

"There is no doubt that guys, I absolutely believe in you. I always believe that you can beat the Lakers! Turn defeat into victory! This is our mission!" (End of Chapter)
