NBA Old Age Star System

Spoelstra's words made the Heat players' blood boil, although even without these words, the players knew that now was the best time.

After both sides adjusted their lineups, they took the field again.

For the Lakers, Walton considered the rotation according to the previous rotation. Su Tian and Nongmei temporarily took a break, and George and Brunson led the team.

For the Heat, Vincent is off, Herro is on, Claude is off, and Olynyk is on.

After simple adjustments, the Heat still maintain a high degree of competitiveness.

Soon after the break, the second quarter began.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat took the lead. Dragic and Herro scored consecutively, while Butler focused on defense. His contribution on the offensive end was somewhat less, but this mutual cooperation was more Good for the Heat.

With the cooperation of the Heat, the 4-point difference quickly caught up, and the scores of the two teams began to alternately rise.

"Huh? Charles, why are you sweating? Is the air conditioner not working well?" Kenny Smith couldn't help teasing him when he saw Barkley's nervous expression.

"Ah? Yes, no."

Buckley couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead while denying his nervousness.

"Well, yes, the air conditioner is not very effective. The equipment is a bit old and needs to be replaced."

While the two were talking, the situation on the court suddenly changed again. Hiero suddenly broke out and hit three consecutive three-pointers, directly leading the score.

The atmosphere at the scene was also directly detonated by the Heat's scoring climax, and the cheers at the scene were overwhelming.

When Walton saw something was not going well, he immediately called a timeout.

After calling a timeout, Walton hesitated whether to replace Su Tian in advance. The time was not over halfway yet. If he replaced Su Tian in advance, he would not be able to achieve the desired effect in the second half.

Just when Wharton was struggling, Su Tian took the initiative to ask for a fight, directly solving the coach's hesitation.

"Su, since you took the initiative to ask to play, I won't stop you, but you have to pay attention, you still need to play in the second half of the game, so be careful to allocate your physical reserves."

"Don't worry, coach, I know what's going on."

So Walton took advantage of the timeout to make substitutions and replaced Su Tian on the court in advance.

After Su Tian came on the court, he directly took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, facing Butler's defense.

"Jimmy, are you finally willing to defend me?" Su Tian teased with a smile.

In the first quarter, Butler never faced Su Tian and seemed to be avoiding Su Tian.

"Su, are you so anxious to be blocked by me?"

Butler was full of energy at this time, and naturally he didn't want to fall into a disadvantageous position.

Su Tian didn't pay attention to Butler's rebuttal, but reached out to call his teammates to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian held the ball and went to the basket.

Su Tian's speed is not slow, but Butler's speed is faster. Butler quickly bypasses the pick-and-roll and speeds up to catch up with Su Tian again.

Butler successfully caught up with Su Tian, ​​but failed to stop Su Tian. The two fought against each other while walking to the basket.

Su Tian saw the right opportunity and directly collected the ball and took the European step.

Because Butler had been teammates with Su Tian before, he was relatively familiar with Su Tian's European step. But just when Butler thought he had taken the initiative, Su Tian suddenly changed his move and shot a throw.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball hit the backboard and successfully bounced into the net.

Su Tian stabilized the situation with a goal, but at this time the Lakers were still 4 points behind.

The ball was transferred to the Heat, and Dragic came to the frontcourt with the ball, still looking for Hiero to cooperate.

But just after Dragic broke through with the ball, Su Tian successfully intercepted the pass.

After Su Tian intercepted the ball, he ran straight to the frontcourt with the ball and launched a fast break.

Butler followed Su Tian closely. The distance between the two was not far. The two came to the basket in the frontcourt one after another. Just when Butler thought Su Tian was about to take a layup, Su Tian A pass was passed directly behind the two people.

At this time, George, who was behind the two, caught the ball and dunked directly with both hands.

It turned out that when the two ran to the frontcourt basket one after another, George was also following closely behind the two. With Su Tian's passing vision, he naturally saw George's movements, but Butler did not pay attention. arrive.

When Su Tian succeeded in assisting, he didn't forget to mock Butler.

"Jimmy, how about it! This is the strength of the league's assist leader and steal leader!"

"Hmph, so-so."

In the next few rounds, with the help of Su Tian, ​​the score difference between the two teams gradually smoothed out, and the scores of the two teams returned to the same level again.

As the second quarter passed halfway, the Lakers made substitution adjustments again, and the combination of Su Tian and Nongmei came on the field.

After Nongmei came on the court, Su Tian began to transfer the team's main offensive responsibilities to Nongmei's hands.

The Heat also gradually felt that they were struggling.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers had already completed the lead. Although they were only ahead by 3 points, the situation on the court had been reversed.

By halftime, Barkley was back to his confident self.

"Hey, Kenny, what do I say! I just said there is no problem with the Lakers' strength!"

"Charles, that's not what you were like just now! Besides, the Lakers are only ahead by 3 points now. I advise you not to be happy too early!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! My confidence in the Lakers is unimaginable!"

While the two were bickering, the game was also being discussed in the locker rooms of the two teams.

On the Heat's side, Spoelstra is still boosting the Heat's morale. After all, this game is indeed a rare good opportunity.

"Guys, pay attention. In the second half, the Lakers will definitely put the main offensive force on Sue and Davis. Jimmy and Adebayo, you two have to pay attention. You two have a heavy defensive task in the second half!"

After Spoelstra's words fell, Butler and Adebayor also nodded at the same time. Obviously, they also knew that the situation in this game until now was hard-won.

At the same time, the Lakers are also emphasizing their tactics in the second half.

Walton looked at the tactical board and then at the players sitting in the locker room.

"Okay guys, our current situation is not that optimistic. Although it seems that we are still in the lead, the Heat can catch up at any time. You must not take it lightly. Now let me lay out the tactics for the third quarter. .”

"In the second half, our offensive focus is still on Su and Davis. George, please save your energy. The team will still need you in the second half of the third quarter." Su Tian and Nongmei nodded at the same time.

The locker rooms of the two teams seemed to be looking in the mirror at this time, and the two main players of the two teams all nodded involuntarily.

Soon, the halftime break ended, players from both sides took the field again, and the third quarter began.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Heat. Butler held the ball and came to the frontcourt. George took the initiative and took the initiative to defend Butler.

But Butler did not hold the ball, but passed the ball to Vincent.

Vincent happened to come out with the help of a pick-and-roll at this time, and after receiving the ball, he shot a three-pointer directly.

Brunson's pursuit was a step slower and he hit a three-pointer directly.

Vincent hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the third quarter, and the scores of the two teams were tied again.

When the ball was transferred, Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball, called for a pick-and-roll with thick eyebrows, and used the pick-and-roll to directly break through to the basket with the ball.

Brunson failed to guard Vincent just now, and Vincent could not guard Brunson at this time. The two had a fierce physical confrontation at the basket. Vincent was defeated directly, and Brunson easily came up. The basket was successful.

"Well, at the beginning of the third quarter, I thought the star players from both teams would be the ones to work hard, but I didn't expect that it would be the No. [-] players from both teams," Barkley said.

"These two are also very interesting. You can't guard me, and I can't guard you. The two of them have formed an offensive situation." Kenny Smith said.

As soon as Smith finished speaking, Barkley immediately shook his head and retorted.

"No, no, no, the strength gap between Vincent and Brunson is quite obvious. The reason why Vincent was able to get rid of Brunson's defense just now was because he was off the ball and had the pick-and-roll cooperation of his teammates."

"But Brunson directly broke through Vincent's defense with the ball. Although there was a pick-and-roll cooperation, Brunson was holding the ball. In comparison, I still appreciate Brunson more. "

"Hey, Charles, you're not saying that because Brunson is a Lakers player, are you?" Kenny Smith looked at Barkley with a half-smile.

"How can you say that! I really think so!"

While the two were discussing, the game on the field was going on. Brunson and Vincent were actually just fronts for the two teams.

The real key to the victory between the two teams lies in the hands of Butler and Su Tian.

However, the defensive pressure between Butler facing George's defense and Su Tian's defense against Hiero are different.

Within a few rounds, the Lakers once again took the lead, and the point difference gradually widened to about 5 points again.

But just after the point difference was widened to 5 points, the Heat began to double-team. Su Tian took fewer shots and turned to assisting his teammates.

As for his teammates, although they have Su Tian's passing blessing, they still cannot compare with Su Tian himself.

As a result, the point difference between the two teams stabilized.

By the time Su Tian came off the court halfway through the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams was only 7 points.

After Su Tian took a break, Vincent and Hiro took many shots and chased the point difference to 2 points.

"Don't say it, don't say it. The Heat are really full of talents in this game. Not only did Butler perform better, but role players such as Vincent, Herro and Dragic also shouldered a lot of responsibility. Responsibility." Kenny Smith couldn't help but praise.

"Hey, Kenny, you have to know that even though the Heat have performed so well, they are still lagging behind. After a comparison like this, you will know how powerful the Lakers are!"

"Okay, okay, I know the Lakers are very strong, but teams like the Heat always make me feel more rare."

"Actually, it's normal. After all, everyone's usual mood is to sympathize with the weak and worship the strong."

When the Heat chased the point difference to 2 points, Walton called a timeout to briefly adjust.

After adjustments, George led the team to gradually stabilize the situation. During this period, Kuzma also performed very well and already looked like "Little George".

Until the end of the third quarter, the Heat failed to overtake the score, but the Lakers also failed to widen the score.

At this time, the score difference is still 3 points.

When Butler came off the court, he wiped his sweat and looked at the 3-point difference on the court, feeling another surge of strength coming out of his body.

"Jimmy! Jimmy!"

"Coach, what's wrong?"

"Jimmy, the point difference is only 3 points! We must hold on! This game is our best game so far. We must not let this state go to waste and we must not let down the Heat fans at the scene!"

Spoelstra looked at Butler firmly, and Butler looked back at Spoelstra.

"Don't worry, coach, since I left the Lakers, all I have been thinking about is how to beat the Lakers! Now that such a good opportunity is in front of me, I will never let it slip away!"

"Okay Jimmy, I believe you."

Although the stares between the two may seem affectionate to others, in reality they are a test for the two to determine each other's thoughts.

After their trials, both of them saw the desire for victory in each other's eyes.

At the same time, on the Lakers' bench, Walton just adjusted the lineup according to the normal rotation and did not arrange too many tactics. He just told each player that they must cooperate with Su Tian after taking the field.

Because as we all know, the fourth quarter is Su Tian's undisputed strong period.

Soon, the inter-section break ended and the fourth quarter began, with players from both sides taking the field.

The Lakers' side is naturally the previous lineup, with Su Tian and Nong Mei leading the substitute lineup.

On the Heat's side, Butler continued to appear, with Vincent and Hiero assisting.

Although Adebayor did not play, the determination shown by the Heat is unquestionable.

"Okay guys! Pay attention, the following fourth quarter should be the most exciting moment in the finals so far!" Barkley directly asserted after looking at the lineups on both sides.

"The fourth quarter is undoubtedly the time for Su, the king of the final quarter. But look at the Heat's lineup. They are going to fight the Lakers until the last minute!"

Barkley's words successfully aroused the enthusiasm of the fans. Whether they were fans at the scene or fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, they all focused their attention and wanted to see the wonderful performances of the two teams.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Lakers. Caruso advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian caught the ball, faced Butler's defense, started with a triple threat, and then turned around to directly complete the breakthrough.

When Su Tian came to the fourth quarter, he didn't simply improve his system values, but improved in all aspects, including his body control.

Su Tian quickly turned around and broke through to the basket. The speed was so fast that no one else could react, so Su Tian dunked with both hands!

The score difference came to 5 points. (End of chapter)
