NBA Old Age Star System

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if Doncic is deliberately avoiding Su Tian’s playing time.

Doncic can always usher in a wave of explosions when Su Tian is off the court.

In the second half of the third quarter, not long after Su Tiangang came off the court to rest, Doncic led the Mavericks to start chasing points.

From an 11-point difference to a 7-point difference, to a 4-point difference.

Seeing that the score was about to be tied, Walton could not help but want to replace Su Tian.

Brunson suddenly exerted his strength and continuously broke through the basket to score. The point difference was once again widened to 8 points.

Seeing that the situation was temporarily stable, Wharton realized that his palms were all sweaty.

By the end of the third quarter, the score difference was stable at 8 points.

"I really didn't expect that the Mavericks would have such strength this season. Doncic is really good." Barkley couldn't help but admire.

"Indeed, newcomers like Doncic are really rare. The last one who shocked me so much was Su." Kenny Smith said.

Kenny Smith thought Barkley would approve of him, but unexpectedly Barkley shook his head.

"It's different. Doncic and Su are different players."

"Oh? Why is it different? Aren't they all talented at a young age?" Kenny Smith asked doubtfully.

"It's definitely different. When Su first entered the league, he didn't show the talent of Doncic. I think Su is more of a hard-working player, while Doncic is an absolutely talented player." Barkley said seriously said.

"It was Su's spirit of hard work that infected me, and that's why I admire Su so much."

"Are you sure it's not because some of Su's technical moves look like yours?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The technical movements are like mine, which means that the heroes have the same vision! We all recognize this technical movement!"

While the two were talking, the break in the third quarter was about to end and the fourth quarter began.

Su Tian could see clearly from the sidelines in the second half of the third quarter.

Doncic is indeed capable and has different talents, but this kind of excellence is also limited excellence. Compared with himself, it is definitely inferior, let alone now in the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Su Tian and Nongmei led the Lakers' bench.

For the Mavericks, Doncic did not take much rest and continued to lead his teammates on the field.

In fact, before the start of the game, no one thought that the Mavericks had any resistance against the Lakers. Now that the Mavericks can keep the point difference to single digits before the start of the fourth quarter, Cuban on the sidelines is satisfied.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Lakers. Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, made a quick change of direction and shook off the defender, then broke into the three-point line and made an emergency jump shot.

Swah——

Su Tian made a steady hit in the mid-range shot.

"I now clearly feel that Su's shooting is becoming more and more stable. Just like that shot just now, I had an inexplicable feeling that Su would definitely score," Barkley said.

"Hey, Charles, there's a limit to bragging." Kenny Smith couldn't help but joke.

But in the next few rounds, Su Tian never missed a shot, which made Kenny Smith murmur.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Charles looked at the statistics.

"Currently in the fourth quarter, Su has taken a total of 6 shots, 1 three-pointer, 1 layup, 4 mid-range shots, and all 6 shots were successful!"

"Although I don't want to admit this fact, I still want to say that this offseason, Su has improved again." Barkley said seriously.

Kenny Smith was also amazed at this time.

"Su seems to have no upper limit. It seems that as long as he works hard, he will definitely make progress. However, Su is still a very hard-working guy."

"Hey Kenny, when you say this, I suddenly remembered something. It seems that Su only got into basketball in college, right?"

"To be precise, Su only received formal basketball training when he was in college."

"This is incredible!" Barkley exclaimed.

"It is true. If you look at it this way, Su is actually a genius, but he received basketball training too late, just like Olajuwon back then." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, substitution adjustments have been completed on the court, and the Lakers once again came up with the decisive lineup.

In fact, with Su Tian's 6-for-6 shooting, the point difference has been widened again. Now the decisive lineup is just to stabilize the situation and win the game steadily.

After the Lakers' decisive lineup came on the field, the overall development was indeed the same.

Even though Dongcic is extremely talented, he is ultimately unable to stand alone.

In the end, the Lakers won the game 123-105.

Su Tian scored 44 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 steals, once again showing his dominance.

After the game, Doncic also took the initiative to find Su Tian and hug him.

In fact, Doncic's style of play has some similarities with Su Tian. After all, both of them play with the ball as the core, but Su Tian is equally good without the ball.

After parting ways with the Mavericks, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles for a two-day break.

The Lakers have played three games since the start of the season, and other teams with less have also played two games, so the current situation of other teams is basically clear.

In the West, the Los Angeles duo continues to be strong, followed closely by the Warriors and Nuggets.

In the East, the Nets seem to be still adjusting, their overall performance is mediocre, and new coach Steve Nash still doesn't seem to have full control of the team.

The Bucks and Celtics performed very aggressively, but the Heat allowed everyone to see only the level of ordinary playoff teams.

Although all teams have appeared, the situation in the East and West is still unclear.

In the following period, the Lakers competed with the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Grizzlies and other teams.

Among these teams, only the Trail Blazers can cause some trouble to the Lakers, but it is also very limited.

The Lakers also easily won the first ten consecutive victories, but now the ten consecutive victories cannot bring much excitement to Lakers fans. It seems that everyone has become accustomed to the strength of the Lakers.

It's just that compared to the previous two seasons, the Lakers' first defeat this season came a little faster.

On November 11th, the Lakers played against the Warriors away from home.

This was the first match between the Lakers and the Warriors this season, and Su Tian also looked at Wiseman curiously.

After all, before Su Tian traveled through time, Wiseman was scolded badly.

And this time the Warriors' starting lineup also satisfied Su Tian's curiosity.

Curry, Bazemore, Wiggins, Green, Wiseman.

The Lakers' starting lineup maintained the same starting lineup as before.

After the game started, McGee took the lead in grabbing the right to attack, and Brunson got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

At this time, Brunson's self-confidence was very sufficient. He was not afraid of Curry's defense and directly broke through with the ball.

Brunson overcame Curry's defense, successfully reached the basket, and shot directly for a layup.

bang - swish -

The basketball hits the rim and bounces into the net.

2-0
The ball was transferred, and Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Brunson's defense, Curry did not play hard, but passed the ball to Green, signaling his teammates to cooperate tactically.

Immediately after the Warriors passed the ball for a while, it was given to Bazemore in the bottom corner.Bazemore caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly. Even though Su Tian's defense was not out of position at this time, Bazemore was still full of confidence.

boom--

Basketball is a direct hit.

Unfortunately, confidence cannot make a basketball hit.

The thick eyebrow turned around to collect the rebound, turned around and passed the ball directly.

At this time, Su Tian had already started a fast break, and Thick Eyebrow passed the ball directly in front of Su Tian.

Su Tian took the lead and went straight to the basket after receiving the ball.

boom--

Su Tian dunked directly with both hands.

4-0
The next few rounds in the first quarter were pretty normal. Wiseman also made several mistakes in just a few minutes of his appearance, living up to Su Tian's high expectations.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Warriors by 33 points 25-8.

Not only did the Warriors have an uneven lineup, but they also had Wiseman who was a drag. The fact that the point difference was not widened to double digits in the first quarter was considered an extraordinary performance by Curry.

So Su Tian also rested in peace in the second quarter.

But just a few minutes after Su Tian took a break, the Warriors' bench began to stir up trouble.

In the offseason, Kelly Oubre was traded to the Thunder by the Suns in the Paul deal, but then the Warriors acquired Oubre with a first-rounder and a second-rounder.

Logically speaking, Oubre would not be a headache for the Lakers under normal circumstances. After all, the Lakers still have George on the court, but in this game Oubre performed exceptionally well.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Oubre hit two consecutive three-pointers. George didn't pay attention at first, but he also strengthened his defensive intensity out of professionalism.

But unexpectedly, Oubre caused consecutive defensive fouls by George.

George couldn't help but want to complain to the referee that the whistle was too tight, but the referee didn't respond at all. George also felt that the care he received from the referee was gradually disappearing.

So in the next few rounds, George began to be timid in his defensive actions.

The Warriors seized this opportunity, and Wiggins also took the opportunity to hit consecutive mid-range shots.

Not even halfway through the second quarter, the 8-point deficit was already caught up and the lead was completed.

So Walton called a timeout in advance and replaced Su Tian on the field ahead of time.

After Su Tian came on the field, the situation on the court was temporarily stabilized, but the morale of the Warriors had already risen. If he wanted to widen the point difference again, Su Tian would need to work harder and reorganize the team.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers were 60-59, leading by only 1 point.

"It's really beyond my expectation that the Warriors can still have such resilience," Barkley said.

"It can be regarded as the Warriors' extraordinary performance. Under normal circumstances, the Lakers should not be so cramped. It depends on whether the Warriors can give the Lakers a defeat in this game." Kenny Smith said.

At the beginning of the second half, Walton also directly brought out the decisive lineup to quickly open the score.

But Curry had an explosion in the third quarter, hitting consecutive three-pointers.

In order to seek stability, Su Tian chose more baskets and mid-range shots, so the score remained deadlocked.

Halfway through the third quarter, Su Tian should have taken a rest at this time, but the score difference did not widen. After thinking about it, Su Tian chose to continue playing.

Although Su Tian's physical strength was exhausted at this time, because the "King of the Last Quarter" was in charge of the fourth quarter, Su Tian was not afraid of excessive physical exertion and did not hold back at all.

Under Su Tian's crazy attack, the score difference began to gradually widen.

Su Tian even chose to defend himself in order to prevent Oubre from breaking out again.

It's just that the Warriors seemed to be like a god in this game, pressing the gourd and lifting the gourd.

Wiggins suddenly scored consecutively, and a small burst once again caught up with the score difference.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers only led by 3 points.

Su Tian sat on the bench and looked at the Warriors' technical statistics. Wiggins had already scored 16 points. According to Wiggins's scoring pattern, the fourth quarter should be nothing to worry about.

But Curry must pay attention in time.

At this time, Su Tian's own condition was not very good. After all, Su Tian did not retain his full devotion, so he naturally consumed a lot.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Walton came to Su Tian worriedly.

"Su, how are you? If it doesn't work, you should take a rest."

"It's okay, coach, trust me."

Su Tian's eyes were so firm that Wharton had no choice but to believe it.

So, Su Tian went straight to the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter. When the clock started to turn at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Su Tian felt a familiar force awakening from deep within his body.

In just a moment, Su Tian felt his physical strength recover.

With this physical support, it won't be a problem to finish the fourth quarter, but the premise is that the Warriors don't make any more mistakes.

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

At this time, it was Wiggins who was responsible for defending Su Tian.

Su Tian first used constant cross dribbling to mobilize Wiggins' defensive focus, and then followed up with a step-back three-pointer.

Swah——

Hit a three-pointer steadily.

Wiggins and Su Tian are old rivals, but times have changed and their situations are completely different now.

The ball was transferred, and Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Dort's defense, Curry directly started the game with the ball, using the pick-and-roll cooperation of his teammates to easily break through to the free throw line, and then made a throw.

bang - swish -

The basketball hits the backboard and bounces into the net.

The next few rounds were considered normal, and the Warriors used double-teaming tactics against Su Tian as expected.

And Su Tian also tried his best to choose to take action himself. After all, Su Tian still believed in himself more at this time.

But sometimes the Warriors double-team is very timely and there is no room for action. At this time, Su Tian needs to pass the ball to his teammates.

Just when Su Tian passed the ball to Nongmei inside, Nongmei caught the ball and jumped up to dunk.

Green on the side saw this and bumped into him. His thick eyebrows lost his balance in the air and shouted loudly.

bang - swish -

At the last moment, Nongmei dunk turned into a layup, and still scored the ball, but Nongmei himself was lying on the ground.

Seeing the thick eyebrows being raped by Greene, Su Tian instantly became angry and rushed forward to punch Greene.

But at this time, Green was very clever. He turned around and ran back to the bench without confronting Su Tian.

The referee on the side immediately stepped forward and hugged Su Tian. (End of chapter)
