NBA Old Age Star System

Just when Cole was anxious, Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, called a pick-and-roll, and shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Hit a three-pointer steadily.

The point difference returned to 13 points.

"Yes!" Cole excitedly pumped his fist in celebration on the sidelines.

This goal showed Curry's personal ability, but the team was still at a disadvantage as a whole.

The possession of the ball was changed, and Su Tian pushed forward with the ball to the frontcourt.

Just like the Lakers treated Curry, the Warriors used all their defensive power to double-team Su Tian.

Su Tian had just broken through the defense with the ball and was immediately double-teamed by the Warriors. During the double-team, Su Tian accurately passed the ball to the thick eyebrow outside the three-point line.

The thick eyebrows caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

With the support of Su Tian's pass, Thick Eyebrow made a steady three-pointer.

"The Lakers successfully scored a three-pointer, and now the pressure on the Warriors is great." Kenny Smith said.

"Indeed, the Lakers' current double-digit lead is still very solid. If the Warriors want to chase points, a key game-breaker must emerge." Barkley said.

After the two commentators explained, the game on the field continued, but the overall situation did not change much.

After the Lakers strengthened their defense against Curry, the Warriors did not have a second scoring point to stand up, and the game gradually came to an end.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Walton took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to make substitution adjustments and took on the entire starting lineup.

After the Lakers got the entire starting lineup, the game was basically finalized.

In the final stage of the game, Curry kept holding the ball and forcing shots, but the Lakers' defense was too tight, and Su Tian was even responsible for defending Curry personally.

Curry still relied on his personal ability and still failed to lead the team to complete the reversal.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 122-105, with the score reaching 3-0. The Warriors were completely on the edge of the cliff, and the Lakers had an absolute advantage.

After the game, Curry came to the center of the field and hugged Su Tian, ​​who also came to the center of the field.

"Stephen, you really have no chance this time." Su Tian said with a smile.

Curry smiled bitterly and said.

"This time we lost, but the series is not over yet, we still have one game left."

"Okay Stephen, I'll wait for your next game." Su Tian said.

After the game, Su Tian followed Walton to attend the post-game interview.

After this game, the Lakers led 3-0. These reporters also knew very well that the Lakers' advancement was unstoppable.

But after arriving at the interview site, not many reporters came to interview the Lakers and Su Tian. Even the reporters who came to the site only asked some simple questions and ended.

Just when Su Tian thought these reporters had become kind-hearted, Su Tian saw a large number of reporters gathered on the Warriors side and asked Curry questions one after another.

"Stephen, what do you think of the Warriors' season?"

"Excuse me, Stephen, do you think the Warriors' playoff run is over?"

"Stephen, do the Warriors still have the confidence to refuse a sweep?"

"Excuse me, Coach Cole, what arrangements did you make to target the Lakers? Why didn't you get any results?"

"How did the Warriors quickly fall from a championship team to a team at the bottom of the playoffs?"

The reporters' consecutive life-threatening questions made Su Tian once again feel the "professionalism" of this group of media.

Sure enough, it's not that the reporters on the Lakers side have gotten better, it's that there are no breaking news points to dig out. On the contrary, the news on the Warriors side is enough to attract people.

The day after the third game of the Lakers series ended, the Clippers' fourth game began.

Not only did Su Tian watch this game again, but Walton also led the coaching staff to watch and analyze it.

In fact, the coaching staff, as staff, have a completely different feeling from the fans and spectators watching the game. The coaching staff all go to the game with work, which is naturally different from the audience who want to relax.

As the saying goes, when your hobby becomes your job, you can no longer get happiness from it.

This game still started on the Denver Plateau. The Clippers performed better this time than before, but they were still affected in the end.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets temporarily led 29-26 by 3 points.

Although the Clippers fell behind after the first quarter, Su Tian observed that on the bench, James and Leonard did not consume much physical energy, and they even still had some energy left.

"It seems that the Clippers are well prepared for this game. I wonder if the Nuggets have the means to deal with it." Su Tian murmured to himself.

Soon the second quarter will start.

In the second quarter, Leonard temporarily led the Clippers, while James temporarily rested off the court.

For the Nuggets, Jokic is also temporarily resting off the court, and the Nuggets are temporarily led by Murray and others.

This period is undoubtedly a period when the Nuggets are weak, and Tyronn Lue seems to have caught this weakness of the Nuggets, strengthening the team's offensive attributes and ensuring the team's shooting percentage.

In just a few rounds, the Clippers quickly completed the lead, and the point difference also tended to get wider and wider.

It wasn't until the Nuggets called a timeout that the Clippers' momentum was temporarily blocked.

After the timeout, Jokic came on the court, and the Nuggets had an advantage. A large amount of the ball was concentrated in Jokic's hands, and the scores of the two teams began to stalemate.

At the end of the first half, the score difference between the two teams was stretched to about 7 points, and the Clippers temporarily took the lead.

At this time, Su Tian actually had a premonition of the Clippers' victory, because the impact of the Denver Plateau on the Clippers was gradually diminishing.

If the Nuggets cannot seize this home court advantage, it will become increasingly difficult for the Nuggets in the next games, and it will be even more difficult for them to come back and win.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

Both sides unanimously picked up the strongest lineup.

When it comes to the team's top strength, there is no doubt that the Clippers have the advantage, and this is indeed the case in the third quarter.

Relying on the two strong points of James and Leonard, the Clippers accelerated their offensive pace and quickly widened the point difference between them and the Nuggets.

Although after half of the third quarter, the physical strength of the two main players was greatly exhausted, Jokic's physical exhaustion was not much smaller.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers already led by 15 points.

At this time, even Barkley and Kenny Smith believed that the Clippers had a chance to win.

In the fourth quarter, just when Tyronn Lue was about to harvest the game, Murray on the Nuggets side suddenly experienced a wave of explosion.

Murray first broke through to the basket with the ball and hit a throw, and then broke through and assisted Jokic for a layup.

Just when the Clippers began to prepare to defend against Murray's breakthrough, Murray suddenly fired consecutive shots from outside the three-point line and hit consecutively. Murray's outburst directly narrowed the point difference to only 5 points. Tyronn Lue could only reach out and call a timeout.

Maybe it's because Murray hasn't fully matured yet, or maybe Tyronn Lue's timeout call was just right. Of course, maybe it's the Clippers' defensive tactics that played a role. In short, after returning from the timeout, Murray's magic is no longer there.

After Murray returned to normal, his deterrence dropped significantly, and it was difficult for Jokic alone to support the entire team.

In the end, two minutes before the end of the game, with the joint efforts of James and Leonard, the point difference was finally opened to a safe position again.

At the end of the game, the Clippers won the game 117-110, and the big score came to 3-1. The Nuggets were already in danger.

In fact, the outside media had already predicted this group of matchups. Even before the series started, some people said that the Clippers would sweep the Nuggets.

Now the Clippers lead the Nuggets 3-1, and they will soon sweep the Nuggets to advance. At this time, there are even words that the Clippers will win the championship.

"Although the Lakers lead the Warriors 3-0, you have to first look at the Warriors' current lineup. Not to mention the gap with the Lakers, there is a big gap with the Nuggets."

"That's right, no matter what, the Warriors are just eighth in the Western Conference. The last place in the Western Conference entering the playoffs, what's so good about them?"

"The Clippers are more championship-worthy than the Lakers. The Lakers rely too much on Su. As long as Su falls, the Lakers will completely collapse without any fighting power."

"The Lakers seem to be a Big Three team. In fact, neither Davis nor George have ever led the team to prove themselves. On the contrary, look at the Clippers. Both James and Leonard have led their teams to win the championship. A championship figure!”

"Although such comparison methods are rare, it does make some sense."

"A magical comparison method. According to this comparison method, Apple's mobile phone will be useless."

Su Tian naturally did not pay attention to these discussions. After all, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was the work of the Clippers. The purpose was naturally to increase the morale of his team and to damage the morale of the Lakers.

Just the day after the Clippers' fourth game ended, the Lakers' fourth series also started on time.

2-1 and 3-0 are completely different concepts, so the states shown by the Nuggets and Warriors are also completely different.

Su Tian observed that even during the warm-up period, the atmosphere of the Warriors was full of decadence.

But there are also those who maintain their fighting spirit, such as Stephen Curry.

In this game, Cole changed the starting lineup again to the starting lineup in the first game.

Curry, Clay, Wiggins, Green, Rooney.

The Lakers' starting lineup has not changed. It is still Brunson, Su Tian, ​​George, Kuzma, and thick eyebrows.

Soon the game started, and Nongmei once again took the initiative.

Brunson got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

When facing Brunson, Curry still showed great passion and was very focused on defense.

But Brunson did not force the ball, but passed the ball to George.

George got the ball and faced Wiggins. He first tried a triple threat, but Wiggins didn't move at all, so George took advantage of the situation and quickly broke through.

George thought Wiggins would quickly catch up with him, but he didn't expect Wiggins to be more than one step behind him, so George quickly took the ball to the basket and made an easy layup.

2-0
  "This, the Warriors' defense is a bit too lax," Kenny Smith said in disbelief.

"It seems that there is something wrong with the Warriors, otherwise they wouldn't have even one person to help defend." Barkley said.

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

Regarding the abnormality of the Warriors just now, the Lakers' Big Three and Walton on the sidelines felt it immediately.

Su Tian even made eye contact with Wharton when he returned to defense, and both of them had an idea.

"Kill him while he's sick! Quickly widen the gap!"

At this time, Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, faced Brunson's defense, and reached out to call Green to step forward to pick and roll.

With the help of Green's pick-and-roll, Curry directly held the ball to initiate a breakthrough.

But I don’t know if there was a problem with the quality of Green’s pick-and-roll, or if Brunson’s skills around the pick-and-roll had improved. Brunson quickly squeezed through the pick-and-roll and caught up with Curry again.

So Curry could only take a layup under Brunson's strong interference.

boom--

As expected, basketball is a direct hit.

The thick eyebrow turned around and got stuck in position, directly collecting the rebound.

Seeing Nongmei win the rebound, Su Tian turned around and started a fast break, and Nongmei quickly passed the ball to him.

Su Tian received the ball, accelerated to the basket, and dunked with both hands.

In order to prevent anyone from chasing after him, Su Tian also used all his speed.

But when Su Tian dunked successfully and turned around to look back, he found that there was no one behind him, and even the members of the Warriors were all in the second half.

"Here, have the Warriors given up the pursuit now?" Barkley couldn't help but ask.

"This is probably because Su ran too fast and didn't give up." Kenny Smith said.

The Warriors' performance left both commentators at a loss for words, and the two commentators also seemed a little at a loss.

Su Tian was also very surprised by the Warriors' performance. He didn't expect the Warriors' defensive enthusiasm to drop so much.

The ball was given to the Warriors again, and Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball and organized the offense again.

This time, after Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, he rushed to the basket with the ball, successfully attracting a double-team with thick eyebrows to help him defend.

Before the double-team with thick eyebrows arrived, Curry passed a ground-breaking pass to Green outside the three-point line.

But this time Green did not take another three-point shot, but passed the ball to Wiggins again.

Wiggins got the ball and made a shooting gesture, successfully attracting George's attack.

As George pounced, Wiggins once again passed the ball to Curry who ran out of space.

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

Swah——

Hit a three-pointer steadily.

4-3
  "Okay, the Warriors' counterattack finally arrived. Curry hit a three-pointer. It seems that the Warriors will count on Curry's performance again in this game." Barkley said.

Su Tian watched the Warriors pass the ball back and forth, and the final shot was given to Curry, and he realized that the Warriors were counting on Curry again in this game.

The ball was transferred to the Lakers. Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed it directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Clay. After the triple threat test, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

The three-pointer hit directly. (End of chapter)
