NBA Old Age Star System

Su Tian hit a three-pointer as soon as the game started, taking the lead first.

3-0
  When the ball was transferred, Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball and reached out to call his teammates to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Curry carried the ball to the basket. When he came to the basket for a layup, he unsurprisingly attracted the help of thick eyebrows.

Curry resisted the interference of thick eyebrows and shot for a layup.

bang - swish -

Basketball hitting the backboard.

3-2
  "This game was full of energy from the beginning. It was only the first round, and the core players on both sides started to show their strength." Barkley said.

The ball returned to the Lakers again, and this time Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and made a breakthrough directly.

Curry's defense has improved a lot compared to a few years ago, but it is still somewhat weak when faced with breakthroughs like Brunson's cannon.

Brunson pushed through Curry's defense and headed toward the basket, attracting Green's defensive double-team halfway.

Before the double-team was about to form, Brunson passed a ground-breaking pass to George outside the three-point line.

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

Swah——

George made a solid three-pointer.

Seeing George hit a three-pointer, Su Tian was very happy and took the initiative to step forward and high-five George to celebrate.

6-2
  Seeing George hit a three-pointer, the Warriors began to become restless.

The Warriors had the ball, and this time Curry successfully attracted the Lakers' defensive attention with his offensive threat, and then passed the ball to Klay outside the three-point line.

Clay caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

boom--

But it is a pity that Klay hit a three-pointer due to George's defensive interference.

The thick eyebrow turned and got stuck, collected the rebound, and quickly passed the ball to Su Tian who was making a fast break.

Su Tian received the ball and rushed directly to the front basket. Facing the empty basket, Su Tian dunked with both hands.

boom--

8-2
  The Lakers' lead became more and more obvious, and the Warriors began to take more three-pointers.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors, led by Curry, barely maintained their pursuit of points.

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

"Actually, it can be seen from the previous two games that it is still difficult for the Warriors to gain an advantage when facing the Lakers. The performance in the first quarter of this game was vivid." Barkley said.

"Indeed, the Warriors basically didn't have any offensive advantage against the Lakers in this quarter." Kenny Smith also nodded in agreement.

At this time, Cole looked at the 8-point difference in a single quarter and was still a little unwilling to give up. He was writing and drawing on the tactical board.

Several main players such as Curry and Clay still maintain good fighting spirit, but others like Poole and Wiggins have begun to lose their fighting spirit or have lost their fighting spirit.

For the Lakers, Walton didn't make too many arrangements, just arranged regular personnel rotation.

Soon after the break, the second quarter began.

For the Lakers, Su Tian and Nongmei took a break, and George led the team. For the Warriors, Clay took a break and Curry led the team.

Originally, according to the first two games, Curry was not an opponent of the Lakers when he led the team alone.

But sometimes, when a shooter comes to feel it, nothing can stop him from hitting the shot.

Under Brunson's defense, Curry hit consecutive three-pointers. Even when he hit the next two three-pointers, Nunn had already stepped forward to help defend and double-team.

Halfway through the second quarter, the score difference had been tied, and Walton reached out and called a timeout.

"Su, Curry's performance during this period is too dangerous. On the defensive end, you need to help more and pay more attention."

"Okay coach, don't worry."

Soon, the game continued, and Su Tian and Nong Mei came on the field to replace George and others.

Su Tian took over the team's ball as soon as he came on the field and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Clay's defense, Su Tian called on his thick eyebrows to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, using the pick-and-roll to hold the ball and drive towards the basket.

But when Su Tian was halfway through holding the ball, Su Tian passed the ball to Nong Mei again.

The thick eyebrow catches the ball and takes a two-point shot.

Swah——

A long two-pointer and a solid hit.

"Sure enough, it takes these two to stabilize the Lakers' situation," Barkley said.

"No, no, no, don't be too happy first, let's think about how to defend Curry's next attack." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, the ball possession on the court changed, and Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

In fact, in order to relieve Curry's offensive pressure, Cole has also brought Clay up. However, Clay's performance in these games has been relatively poor, and it is difficult to show the previous deterrence.

After arriving in the frontcourt, it was Su Tian who was responsible for defending Curry.

Curry also knew the advantages and disadvantages of Su Tian's defense, so he did not plan to take action directly. Instead, he chose to call his teammates to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of pick-and-roll cooperation, Curry initiated tactical cooperation with the ball.

Under Curry's deliberate guidance, Clay ran out of an open opportunity and Curry quickly passed the ball to it.

Clay caught the ball and there was no one in front of him.

Clay knew that his choice at this time was extremely important, so he took a deep breath, adjusted his shooting posture, and took a three-point shot.

The basketball flew high and drew a perfect arc in the air.

In the end, the arc hit the net.

Swah——

Three-point hollow hit.

"Yes!" Clay shook his fist fiercely.

Cole on the sidelines also pumped his fist.

Obviously Cole also knows that Klay's ability to hit this three-pointer is of great significance. This means that Klay's shooting threat has been realized, and the Lakers no longer dare to double-team Curry unscrupulously.

In the following rounds, Dort indeed chased Clay even tighter, not daring to give any more room to make a move.

The defensive pressure on Clay's side will increase, and relatively speaking, the defensive pressure on Curry's side will become smaller.

Curry also took this opportunity to continue to increase his offensive threat.

But with Su Tian's defense, Curry's combat effectiveness was very limited, and the point difference was still widened bit by bit.

At the end of the second quarter, the score difference reached 6 points again.

The game enters halftime.

"I have to say that the Warriors' counterattack in the second quarter was very fierce. This was not only the strength of Curry, but also the contribution of Clay and others." Barkley said.

"It's true. If the Warriors want to win this game, it's impossible to rely on Curry alone. It can only rely on the joint efforts of the entire Warriors team." Kenny Smith said.

In the Warriors locker room at this time.

"Guys, this game so far still has a lot of opportunities! We must seize the opportunity in the third quarter!" Cole said loudly.

"In the third quarter, we have to play to our advantage, not only to catch up with the score difference, but also to take advantage of this opportunity to open up the score difference!" At this time, Curry, Clay and others also nodded, obviously these two people also knew What a precious opportunity in the third quarter.

At the same time, in the Lakers' locker room.

"Guys, the 6-point difference is still a bit dangerous. We will increase the playing time of the main players in the third quarter. Su, Davis, you have to be prepared."

"According to my estimation, not only will we increase our main time in the third quarter, but the Warriors will also increase their playing time."

"We must seize this opportunity!"

Wharton continued to emphasize the importance of the third quarter, and Su Tian and others also increased their vigilance.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, both sides brought out their starting lineups, and both sides looked menacing.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Warriors, and Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt and facing Brunson's defense, Curry used his teammates' pick-and-roll to directly shoot a three-pointer.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball hit the rim, jumped high and then fell into the net again.

Although there was some luck in this shot, it was still successful in the end.

The ball is switched, and it's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Bazemore's defense. After three threats, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian's three-pointer was also a direct hit.

The point difference returned to 6 points again.

The Warriors attacked with the ball again.

In the next few rounds, the score difference kept fluctuating back and forth, but there was no critical turning point.

It wasn't until halfway through the third quarter that the Big Eyebrow suddenly began to explode, hitting consecutive hard hits in the interior, quickly opening the point difference to double digits.

After reaching double digits, the Warriors began to show signs of weakness, and the point difference began to stabilize at double digits.

Walton looked at the time and took down Su Tian and Nong Mei at the right time. Although there were only 3 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, the situation on the court had stabilized.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference was maintained at 12 points, but the price the Lakers paid for this was the heavy physical exertion of Su Tian and Nongmei.

Su Tian is actually okay, because after the fourth quarter, Su Tian can recover his physical strength through the "King of the Final Quarter" badge, but there is no recovery plug-in like Su Tian on Nongmei's side, so he can only rely on time to slowly recover.

"The point difference has reached double digits, guys, the Lakers' advantage has greatly increased, and the Warriors are in danger." Barkley said.

"It's true. After this point difference appeared, the Lakers rarely lost. If the Warriors want to win this game, they must improve their offensive efficiency." Kenny Smith said.

"But based on the Warriors' efficiency just now, I think there is little chance." Barkley said.

At this time, on the benches of the two teams, the coaches on both sides were loudly emphasizing the tactical arrangements for the fourth quarter.

Especially the Warriors.

"With a 12-point difference, we still have a chance! We must not give up!"

"This is a challenge for us! However, we have experienced many challenges! This cannot stop us!"

Cole kept shouting every word loudly, as if he wanted to wake up these players with his loud voice.

At the same time, on the Lakers' bench, Walton was also emphasizing the tactical layout of the fourth quarter.

"I know the fourth quarter is our strong period, but guys, this is no reason for us to relax!"

"The Warriors are still very dangerous! As Su said before, you can't underestimate any MVP, let alone the opponent who has won two consecutive MVPs!"

"We must strengthen our defense against Curry in the fourth quarter! Don't relax at all!"

With the emphasis of the two head coaches, the rest time passed little by little, and the fourth quarter began.

When the whistle sounded to start the fourth quarter, Su Tian instantly felt a force awakening from his body, providing him with physical strength.

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

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

Facing Wiggins' defense, Su Tian was still very cautious, reaching out to call on Nongmei to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of thick eyebrows' pick-and-roll cooperation, Su Tian held the ball and went directly to the basket.

Su Tian's breakthrough with the ball successfully attracted the Warriors' double-team defense, and Green came towards Su Tian.

At this time, Su Tian did not pass the ball again, but dribbled behind his back and then turned and broke through with the ball, directly avoiding Green's defensive double-team.

After getting rid of Green, there was no obstacle between Su Tian and the basket. Su Tian directly hit a pull-up layup.

14 points difference.

"Beautiful, I knew Su would surprise us in the fourth quarter." Barkley said excitedly.

"This ball is really beautiful. Su Tian's dribbling breakthrough is getting smoother and smoother. He can still make such an action in such a small space." Kenny Smith was also amazed.

At this time, the ball possession on the court changed, and Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Dort's defense, Curry did not pass the ball, but prepared to hold the ball in isolation against Dort.

Dort is considered a relatively strong defender, but sometimes his defensive ability does not entirely depend on his physical fitness.

Curry's smart dribbling constantly mobilizes Dort's defensive focus.

At the moment when Dort's defensive focus changed, Curry accelerated and broke through directly from the right side.

After completing the breakthrough, Curry, like Su Tian in the previous round, instantly attracted the Lakers' double-team defense.

Curry reacted very quickly and quickly passed the ball to his teammates in the bottom corner.

Originally, the vacancy in the bottom corner was a very good opportunity, but Curry took a closer look and saw that it was Green who was left short in the bottom corner.

When Green got the ball at this time, he had a good chance and there was not much time left. Green didn't have time to think too much and just shot a three-pointer.

boom--

Basketball is predictably straight-up.

The thick eyebrows instantly stuck in position, turned around and collected the rebound.

The moment Nongmei collected the rebound, Su Tian had already turned around and started a fast break. Nongmei passed a long ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian ran two steps faster to collect the basketball. After getting the ball, he directly carried the ball towards the basket.

boom--

Su Tian dunked directly with both hands.

16 points difference.

Cole stood on the sidelines, watching the point difference widening bit by bit, feeling anxious.

The Warriors this season are indeed full of ups and downs, and Cole is even about to be dismissed. In the end, it is because of the power accumulated during the two consecutive championships and the support of the main players that Cole has no problems.

But Cole is unwilling to let this season stop here. (End of chapter)
