NBA Old Age Star System

James chose to play from behind from the three-point line, and Su Tian used his strength to resist while waiting for an opportunity to steal.

But this time James was obviously more cautious and was not caught by Su Tian. James saw the right opportunity and passed a pass to Pope outside the three-point line when his back hit the free throw line.

Pope caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Pope's shooting speed is very fast, coupled with his height advantage, he can directly hit the three-pointer.

The ball is switched, and the Lakers attack.

At present, the Lakers still hold the lead, so Su Tian does not panic at all. In the next few rounds, Su Tian led the Lakers to play steadily, and the point difference stabilized at around 15 points.

James on the Clippers side seemed a little anxious, and was once again intercepted by Su Tian and successfully counterattacked.

After this counterattack, Tyronn Lue made a very quick substitution and took James off the field directly.

"LeBron, don't try to compete with Su. That's not your battlefield. You need to take a rest first."

Tyronn Lue's tone was very mild, but James knew that Tyronn Lue also saw his difficulty.

But James didn't say much, but nodded and returned to the bench.

Not long after the Clippers made substitution adjustments, halfway through the third quarter, the Lakers also made substitution adjustments. Su Tian and Nong Mei came off the court to rest, and George and others began to lead the team.

The game in the second half of the third quarter was relatively smooth without too many twists and turns.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still led by 16 points.

According to the standards of last season, the Lakers were still leading by double digits entering the fourth quarter, so this game was basically won.

But this is also related to the strength of the Lakers' bench last season. This season the strength of the Lakers' bench has declined. It is unknown whether they still have such dominance.

Soon the fourth quarter began.

For the Lakers, Su Tian and Nong Mei still lead the bench.

Dort, Nunn, Su Tian, ​​Kuzma, thick eyebrows.

The Clippers seem to pay a lot of attention to it. James and Leonard appear in the lineup at the same time.

The first ball was given to the Lakers in the fourth quarter, and Su Tian pushed forward with the ball to the frontcourt.

Facing James' defense, Su Tian seemed very calm at this time. After dribbling from the hip, he changed direction and broke out again.

James immediately turned around and tried to keep up with the defense, but it was too difficult.

Leonard on the side also saw James' difficulty, so he immediately double-teamed Su Tian to defend.

Just when Leonard thought Su Tian was going to pass the ball, Su Tian turned around and completed another breakthrough.

At this time, Su Tian continuously broke through the defenses of James and Leonard, collected the ball directly, and made a jump shot.

Swah——

The basketball hits steadily.

With the blessing of the "King of the End" status, Su Tian's attribute values ​​have already exceeded the human upper limit of 100, and the combat power he exerted cannot be measured by common sense.

But the Clippers were obviously not willing to give in. The ball was switched, the Clippers attacked, and James advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, James ignored Su Tian who was defending him and gave the ball to Leonard.

Leonard got the ball and faced Kuzma, reaching out to call Beverley to come forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of his teammates, Leonard forced Kuzma and Dort to switch defenses, and Leonard and Dort successfully faced off.

At this time, the other Clippers players saw that the matchup was successful and immediately opened up the space under the basket, providing Leonard with ample space for singles.

Leonard is also very direct. After a simple change of direction, he explodes towards the basket.

Dort was naturally no match for Leonard, and Leonard carried him all the way to the basket.

But just when Leonard was about to go for a layup, the thick-browed help came and was about to slap him hard.

But Leonard seemed to be prepared and passed the ball to Zubac.

Zubac received the ball and took a two-point shot.

Swah——

Zubac made a solid hit.

"It seems that the Clippers are well prepared this time!" Barkley couldn't help but said after seeing the Clippers' performance.

"This is natural. This is also testing the details of the Lakers' season. The Clippers will naturally not be ambiguous." Kenny Smith said.

As Kenny Smith said, this game is not only the opening game of the season, but also a game to test the Lakers' details.

And it is not just a few teams that are paying attention to this game, but basically more than half of the teams in the league are paying attention.

The Lakers have now embarked on the path of "public enemy of the league". No team is willing for the Lakers to successfully defend their title and win three consecutive championships.

In fact, the Lakers have been robbed of so many substitute players this season, and everyone's hostility has become less, but they still attach great importance to it.

If, like before, the Warriors, who have won two consecutive championships, sign Cousins ​​at a minimum salary to form an unprecedented five-star battleship, then everyone's hostility will explode!

At this time, the game on the court was still going on, and the Clippers seemed to no longer care about the point difference, and were just constantly using various tricks to test the Lakers' details.

As for the Lakers, with Su Tian in charge, they are naturally as stable as Mount Tai and still maintain a very safe double-digit point difference.

Until about halfway through the fourth quarter, Walton made another substitution adjustment. All the Lakers' main players came on the field, and the Lakers put out their strongest lineup.

Brunson, Su Tian, ​​George, Kuzma, thick eyebrows.

Because of Kuzma's growth, the Lakers' decisive lineup also made changes, placing Kuzma in the team's decisive lineup.

The effect of this adjustment is immediate, not only giving the Lakers an extra three-point point, but also making the Lakers' inside line more mobile.

Upon seeing this, the Clippers also made substitution adjustments, but even after the substitution adjustments, the overall strength of the Clippers team was not significantly improved.

At the end of the game, the Clippers still couldn't find anything out of this game.

The Lakers also won the game 120-103, and their performance throughout was not much different from the previous season.

Su Tian scored 37 points, 13 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 steals. Compared with the previous season, Su Tian's competitive state has not diminished at all, and has even improved steadily.

After the game, Su Tian accepted the post-game interview as usual.

"Su, do you have anything to say about the Lakers' lineup for the new season?"

"Su, how do you evaluate the Clippers' performance in this game?"

"Su, what are the Lakers' goals for this season?"

"Su, do you think James has declined significantly this season?"

As soon as Su Tiancai arrived at the scene, he was immediately surrounded by questions from reporters.

The press officer at the scene also quickly maintained order and asked these reporters to ask questions one by one.These questions were considered normal for Su Tian, ​​and Su Tian responded normally.

"I'm very satisfied with the Lakers' lineup this season, and I'm very satisfied with the decisions made by the management."

"The Clippers' performance in this game was very good. It perfectly demonstrated the team's competitive spirit. I seemed to see the Heat in the finals of last season."

"James is indeed an excellent player, but in my opinion, James has indeed declined, but this is normal. After all, no one can resist the invasion of Father Time."

Su Tian's evaluation was very pertinent, but these reporters seemed to have caught some information, and their eyes began to shine.

The next day, Su Tian saw these reports about his evaluation of James.

"Su bluntly said that LeBron has declined!" 》

"James has lost his dominance over the league - Su"

"The gods who come down from the mountain vs. the people who go up the mountain?" 》

"Is Sue qualified enough to evaluate LeBron James?" 》

There is no doubt that some journalists only care about their data and work, not caring about the consequences.

And Su Tian doesn't care about these reports now. After all, strength is Su Tian's current confidence. With strength, he is naturally not afraid of these rumors.

With the Lakers starting the season's opening game, other teams are not far behind and have begun to exert their efforts.

On the second day after the start of the game, the league directly arranged a large number of games, and fans of many teams were dizzy.

The Lakers were not affected by other teams and carried out their own training arrangements step by step.

George also followed Walton's arrangements for weight loss and recovery training to regain his competitive form as soon as possible.

Two days later, the Lakers started their second game, playing against the Jazz at home.

The Jazz's main improvement this season is the improvement of the core players themselves.

Mitchell and Gobert are at the peak of their respective strengths. The Jazz are also sharpening their skills this season, hoping to make a difference in the playoffs.

The Jazz's starting lineup is Mike Conley, Mitchell, Joe Ingles, Boyang Bogdanovic, and Gobert.

According to the original time and space, the Jazz have indeed made some achievements this season, but now the Jazz have no advantage at all against the Lakers.

The main problem here is that Mitchell, the Jazz's first scoring point, needs to compete with Su Tian.

With Su Tian's "care", Mitchell couldn't show any strength at all.

In terms of the inside, Gobert can also be regarded as a defensive gate, but his offense is insufficient and he cannot provide more help on the offensive end.

In addition, the Jazz's other outside players do not have the ability to make a final decision. They can only be role players and provide limited help.

After the game started, the overall development was indeed similar to what Su Tian predicted.

In the first quarter, Su Tian continued to exert force and directly gained the upper hand.

The Jazz originally wanted to test the Lakers' bottom line like the Clippers, but now let alone testing the Lakers, the Jazz themselves are almost in danger.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers already had a double-digit lead.

In the second quarter, the two sides started fighting again after substitutions and adjustments.

After the Lakers put on the bench, their combat effectiveness was still online. The Jazz's bench was no match for the Lakers.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers already led by nearly 20 points.

In the third quarter, the Lakers' starting lineup came on again, and the point difference was once again widened, heading straight for 30 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Jazz directly chose to replace the entire main lineup and directly raised the white flag to surrender.

Mitchell, who was still looking excited before the game started, had already put a towel on his head, looking down at the floor, wondering what he was thinking.

The game finally ended, and the Lakers won the game 118-81. The Lakers had no pressure at all throughout the game.

After the game, Su Tian came to the Jazz bench, found Mitchell, and the two hugged each other.

"Donovan, don't be sad. You performed well in this game. Just keep working hard." Su Tian patted Mitchell on the shoulder and said.

"Su, let's continue in the next game, I won't give up!" Mitchell's state has been adjusted at this time, and his eyes are full of determination again.

After bidding farewell to the Jazz, the Lakers rushed to Dallas overnight to usher in the first back-to-back game of the season against the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' main growth method this season is similar to that of the Jazz, both stemming from the improvement of the main players themselves.

The Mavericks have not made much achievements in terms of signings. The entire Mavericks team seems to be accompanying Doncic in his growth.

In this game, Doncic's defensive task was given to George.

Although George's current condition has not returned to his best, it should not be a big problem to deal with a young player whose rookie contract has not yet expired.

But when the game actually started, Walton realized that he still underestimated the super star on the opposite side.

In the first quarter, under George's defense, Doncic performed well. The Mavericks and Lakers played neck and neck, 31-29, with the Mavericks only trailing by 2 points.

In the second quarter, both sides began to make substitutions and adjustments, and Su Tian temporarily came off the court to rest.

Walton originally thought that even if Doncic was very powerful, he didn't expect that Doncic actually led the Mavericks to directly overtake the score when Su Tian was off the court.

Just 3 minutes into the second quarter, the Mavericks officially took the lead.

Brunson and George persisted for another 2 minutes, and Walton finally called a timeout.

Taking advantage of the timeout, Walton made substitution adjustments, and Su Tian came on the field early.

After Su Tian came on the court, he directly took over the team's offensive power and took the initiative to confront Doncic on the defensive end.

With Su Tian's containment, Doncic's performance was obviously limited, and the Lakers successfully took the lead again.

However, Carlisle on the Lone Ranger's side was not a free man, so he directly gave Su Tian a double-team package.

After Su Tian felt the Mavericks' double-team, he quickly changed his offensive method and began to pass the ball to assist his teammates.

With Su Tian present, the situation on the Lakers side slowly stabilized.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Mavericks by 5 points. Although the points were about the same, considering that the Lakers overtook the Mavericks again after being overtaken, it was already very good.

In the third quarter, after some consideration, Walton came up with the newly determined lineup for the decisive battle.

The Lakers' lineup is extraordinary, and the Mavericks led by Doncic have no power to fight back.

Carlisle's side is even more troublesome, and they can't find a better player besides Doncic.

So under the suppression of the Lakers' decisive lineup, the point difference was quickly opened to 11 points.

Halfway through the third quarter, Walton made another adjustment. Su Tian and Nong Mei came off the court to prepare for the fourth quarter. Brunson and George were on hand to lead the team.

Just when Walton thought he was about to win this game, Doncic suddenly started going crazy again. (End of chapter)
