NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 430 10. Start the second playoff game!

Cole focused his defense only on Su Tian, ​​not because he didn't know the interests of the other two giants, but because he had no choice.

The current Warriors team cannot take care of so many aspects and can only focus on Su Tian alone.

At the same time, the Lakers here.

"The Warriors now are no longer the Warriors before. We only need to keep an eye on Curry. Remember to double-team in time!"

Cole and Walton both chose the tactic of double-teaming the opponent's core in a very tacit understanding.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

Both sides also chose their starting lineups in the third quarter. The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Warriors, and Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball.

This season Curry has added a lot of ball-handling offenses, especially when facing some players who are not very good at defending, such as this game.

Curry held the ball and faced Brunson's defense. He first dribbled continuously to mobilize Brunson's defensive focus, and then broke through with an explosion.

Brunson's flexibility is indeed worse than Curry's, so he can only quickly change his focus to catch up.

Just when Curry took two steps to the basket and was about to collect the ball for a layup, the thick eyebrows suddenly appeared to help defend and double-team.

The timing of the appearance of thick eyebrows is just right. It would be difficult for ordinary people to make adjustments, but Curry is still Curry after all.

In desperation, Curry had already collected the ball and took off, so Curry twisted his waist in the air and passed the ball to Rooney who was left open.

Rooney rarely has offensive tasks in the Warriors' formation, but at this time Rooney was in the best position, so he shot from close range.

Swah——

The basketball hits steadily.

"Oh, what a ball, Rooney actually has this ability." Barkley looked very surprised.

"It's not a big deal, maybe it's just a coincidence," Kenny Smith said.

At this time, the ball was transferred and Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball.

This time Su Tian took the initiative to ask for the ball, and Brunson quickly passed the ball to it.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Clay's defense. He first tested the triple threat and took a half step forward. Clay's reaction was a little too nervous and he immediately took a step back.

Seeing Clay retreat, Su Tian was not polite and immediately took his foot back and shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Hit a three-pointer steadily.

"Beautiful! Good shot! He hit a three-pointer as soon as he started. It was a blow to morale," Barkley said.

At this point, both sides have scored a goal, and the second half of the game has completely begun.

In the next few rounds, both teams showed their best form, but the Warriors' offensive performance was still somewhat lacking compared to the Lakers.

Not even halfway through the third quarter, the point difference had already been stretched to 12 points, and Cole directly reached out to call a timeout.

"Guys, everyone has realized how difficult the Lakers are. Now we don't have much time. If we can't get the point difference back before the end of the third quarter, we will be very passive in the fourth quarter!"

Taking advantage of the timeout, Cole continued to encourage the team and once again arranged corresponding tactics to chase points.

As for the Lakers, Walton chose to make substitutions after looking at the point difference and the team's status.

Su Tian and Nong Mei left the game early to rest and prepare for the fourth quarter.

George, Brunson and others came on stage to lead the team.

The timeout soon ended, and when Cole saw that Su Tian and Nongmei were not on the court, he instantly realized that the Warriors' opportunity had come!
  After the game started again, the Warriors followed Cole's arrangements and began to launch their own offense.

As for the Lakers, although Su Tian and Nongmei are no longer here, the Lakers led by George still cannot be underestimated.

For a while, the score difference between the two teams was deadlocked.

It wasn't until Curry hit two consecutive three-pointers that the point difference began to slowly narrow.

However, the Lakers' offensive was also very fierce. Until the end of the third quarter, the point difference was still 6 points.

At this time, Curry was already exhausted and sweating profusely. He was sitting on the bench wiping the sweat from his body. It was obvious that he had exhausted too much physical strength.

On the Lakers side, George was also very tired, but Su Tian and Nongmei, who were going to play, were full of energy and physical strength.

"The Warriors are quite tenacious. At the end of the three quarters, the point difference was only 6 points. I have to say that the Warriors are still very promising at this time." Barkley said.

"It is true, but the point difference is too small. Both the Warriors and the Lakers are actually more dangerous." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, on the Warriors bench, Cole looked at Curry in front of him and felt heartbroken, but Cole had no one available.

The performance of Jordan Poole, Bazemore and others in this game was completely unable to share the pressure on Curry, and their performance was far inferior to that of Dort and others of the Lakers.

Soon, the intermission ended and the fourth quarter began.

There is no doubt that the fourth quarter is the Lakers' strong period, but the Warriors are going to be in trouble.

On the Lakers' side, Su Tian and Nongmei led the team on the field, but on the Warriors' side, Cole arranged for Curry to take a break and let Wiggins and Klay play, hoping that the two could hold up a little longer. .

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

Su Tian got the ball and faced Wiggins' defense.

Su Tian and Wiggins are also old rivals, but Su Tian has grown so fast that few people remember that Wiggins was the top pick in Su Tian's draft.

Facing Wiggins' defense, Su Tian made a quick double change to get away from the defense, and drove straight to the basket with the ball.

Wiggins turned around to chase, but his speed was indeed too slow compared to Su Tian. He could only watch as Su Tian scored a layup.

The point difference came to 8 points.

The ball was transferred, and Poole came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball to Clay.

Clay received the ball and immediately made a gesture to shoot. After attracting Nunn's defense, he passed the ball again to Poole who came to the bottom corner.

Poole in the bottom corner caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

Dort did not lose his position in this ball, and Poole forced the shot against Dort.

Swah——

But sometimes luck is so willful.

Poole luckily hit a three-pointer. Cole on the sidelines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. No matter how the goal is scored, as long as it can be scored, it is a good goal.

The ball was given to the Lakers again, and this time Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Su Tian faced Wiggins' defense. After a breakthrough, he retreated to the three-point line again, stepped back and shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian directly returned the three-pointer just now.

"Pool's three-pointer can only be regarded as luck, but Su's three-pointer is serious strength." Barkley said.

"At present, it is difficult for the Warriors to score, and it is also difficult to stop the Lakers from scoring." Kenny Smith said.

"The Warriors must make adjustments quickly, or let Curry play quickly, otherwise the points difference will soon widen." Before Barkley could finish these words, Su Tian completed a steal. He hit a three-pointer and the point difference reached double digits.

Immediately afterwards, Clay wanted to score a three-pointer, but Clay, whose ability had declined, was already unable to do what he wanted.

I can only watch helplessly as the score difference is widened bit by bit.

At this point, Cole finally couldn't sit still anymore and stretched out his hand to call a timeout.

Taking advantage of the timeout, the fourth quarter's tactical arrangements for Su Tian were again arranged, and Curry was also arranged to play again.

"The fourth quarter is Su's strong period. This is something everyone knows. If we want to deal with Su in the fourth quarter, we need to work together." Cole continued to emphasize as he tapped the tactical board.

In fact, the entire alliance is studying how to deal with Su Tian. In the end, the only solution is to double-team indefinitely.

The timeout soon ended and the game started again.

After the game started again, Curry took over the team's ball, faced Dort's defense with the ball, first dribbled to mobilize the defensive focus, and then broke through with an explosion.

Due to physical exertion, Curry's burst and speed also dropped a lot, so after breaking through to attract the defense, he passed a pass to Clay outside the three-point line.

Clay caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Nunn did not defend this goal well, but Clay also failed to seize this opportunity due to his declining condition.

boom--

Playing basketball, he turned around with thick eyebrows, stuck his position, collected the backboard, and raised it directly above his head to find Su Tian's position.

At this time, Su Tian had already turned around and ran towards the frontcourt. With thick eyebrows, he passed the ball in front of Su Tian.

Su Tian received the ball, but with no one in front of him, he came to the frontcourt and dunked with both hands.

"It seems that the Warriors still need to adjust again. Now it seems that even if they are in the entire starting lineup, the effect is not good. I don't know what tricks Cole will have in the future." Barkley said.

"Follow-up moves? I guess it will be difficult. After all, limited by the capabilities of the personnel, the personal strength of the players cannot be improved, and the overall strength of the team will be difficult to improve again." Kenny Smith said.

In the next few rounds, the two-digit point difference was like a chasm between the two teams, making it difficult for the Warriors to cross.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Lakers took on the entire main lineup and began to harvest the game.

Curry has exhausted all his methods, but it still doesn't help.

Finally, one minute before the end of the game, Cole replaced all the main players and had no choice but to raise his flag and surrender.

Seeing Cole replace the main lineup, Walton followed suit and took down the main lineup to win this game.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 121-105, taking a temporary lead of 1-0.

Su Tian scored 36 points, 13 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, and was undoubtedly the best player in the game.

After the game, Su Tian followed Walton for a post-game interview.

"Su, will the Lakers remain undefeated and win the championship this season?"

"Su, how do you evaluate the current Warriors team?"

"Su, do you think the Lakers still need reinforcements at this stage?"

"Sue, do you think you will sweep the Warriors 4-0?"

After Su Tian arrived at the scene, the reporters at the scene were in chaos. It was not until the staff at the scene maintained order that things returned to normal.

After all, Su Tian has too much traffic now, and Su Tian has just won three data kings again. Su Tian is destined to be one of the representative figures in NBA history.

"I answered some of these questions last season. Undefeated and winning the championship is not the ultimate pursuit. Winning the championship is the ultimate goal."

"The Warriors are still very dangerous at this stage. We cannot underestimate the MVP, let alone a two-consecutive MVP."

"The Lakers don't need to make reinforcements at this stage. I am very satisfied with the Lakers' current lineup."

"Whether I can sweep this matter is left to the competition. I am only responsible for playing every game well."

Su Tian answered these questions one by one, looking very calm and calm overall.

After all, only with strength can you be calm and calm.

The end of the first game between the Lakers and Warriors did not exceed everyone's expectations, but everyone was still amazed at the strength of the Lakers and the speed of the Warriors' fall.

The day after the game, Su Tian continued to watch the showdown between the Clippers and the Nuggets.

Because the Lakers' opponents in the second round will be decided from these two.

The Clippers took the lead as soon as the game started. With their high mobility and the impact of the two superstars, it was difficult for the Nuggets to keep up with this rhythm.

Teachers who have not yet completed their studies cannot yet rely on their personal abilities to solve these problems.

So the Clippers relied on the advantage they had at the beginning of the game and maintained their advantage until the end of the game, successfully winning the game.

However, in the final stage of the game, Su Tian still saw the Clippers' tired state.

Obviously, it is not easy for the Clippers to deal with the Nuggets. Both superstars consume a lot of money.

Soon, the time came to May 5, and the second playoff game between the Lakers and Warriors started on time.

In this game, the Lakers also chose the starting lineup from the previous game, Brunson, Su Tian, ​​George, Kuzma, and thick eyebrows.

The starting lineup of the Warriors also maintained the starting lineup of the previous game, Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Green, and Rooney.

With the whistle of the referee, the game began.

Nongmei took the lead to seize the right to attack. Brunson got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Curry's defense, Brunson reached out and called for thick eyebrows to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Brunson holds the ball and drives toward the basket.

Brunson's impact was very strong and successfully attracted the Warriors' defensive double-team. Before the double-team was formed, Brunson passed the ball directly to Kuzma outside the three-point line.

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

Swah——

Hit a three-pointer steadily.

The ball was switched, and Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Brunson's defense, Curry reached out and called his teammates to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

It's also a pick-and-roll start, but the two people's choices are completely different.

Brunson uses pick-and-rolls to find space to break through, while Curry uses pick-and-rolls to find space to shoot.

Curry used the pick-and-roll to make a direct three-pointer.

Swah——

A three-pointer hit directly.

3-3
  "As expected of Stephen Curry, Su is right. You can't underestimate any MVP, let alone a two-consecutive MVP." Barkley said. (End of chapter)
