NBA Old Age Star System

Tyronn Lue took advantage of the timeout to once again boost the team's morale to avoid the impact of Su Tian's dunk.

But Su Tian's one-stop steal was so brilliant that the live footage was constantly replayed, and every replay would cause a burst of exclamations from the audience.

"Guys, don't worry about those things anymore. Those things have passed. What we need to pay attention to now is the next few minutes! These will be the few minutes that determine our fate! We must seize it!"

Tyronn Lue excitedly aroused the players' emotions while tapping the tactical board in an attempt to attract the players' attention.

At the same time, everyone on the Lakers bench was in high spirits.

"Su, that's great! How on earth did you do that? Oh my god!" George patted Su Tian's back excitedly and said incoherently.

"Paul, Paul, don't get excited. Let's finish the game first." Su Tian said with a smile.

At this time, Wharton also smiled and stepped forward to pat Su Tian on the shoulder.

"Well done! Su! This dunk stopped the Clippers. This ball is worth a thousand dollars!"

After praising Su Tian, ​​Wharton immediately began to lay out relevant tactics for the remaining few minutes.

"Time is running out, guys, but we can't let down our guard. The 9-point difference can only be caught up with a few three-pointers, so we must do a good job in our defense!"

As Walton talked, he wrote and drew on the tactical board, laying out the tactical arrangements for blocking the three-pointer.

Time passed by minute by second, and soon the timeout ended and the game continued.

Back on the court, James once again took control of the team's possession with the ball.

But after arriving in the frontcourt, James did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, he passed the ball to Leonard and began to cooperate tactically.

The Lakers have also studied the Clippers' tactical coordination, and Su Tian also remembers many related tactical arrangements.

So after Su Tian's observation, Su Tian recognized at a glance that this was a three-point tactic!

Sure enough, after a period of tactical movement, the ball returned to James' hands again. The moment James received the ball, he took the opportunity to initiate a breakthrough with the ball.

Su Tian followed James closely, and James couldn't find any suitable time to take action.

But at this time, James obviously didn't want to take a shot, but should hit the ground and pass to Pope outside the three-point line.

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

Pope is considered a relatively stable and reliable three-pointer in the Clippers, and the Lakers have naturally made corresponding arrangements.

The moment Pop took action, George and Su Tian were double-teamed!

The basketball flew into the air, and Su Tian turned his head to look in the direction of the basket.

boom--

Pope's shooting is still not that hard, basketball is the best.

The basketball hit the rim and jumped up high, but McGee, who had been prepared for it, took it down directly.

McGee collected the rebound, turned around and passed the ball directly to Kuzma.

Kuzma passed the ball to George again. At this time, George was already preparing for a fast break, so he sprinted towards the basket the moment he received the ball.

But then the Clippers double-teamed George, so George had to pass the ball to Su Tian again.

Su Tian went straight to the frontcourt with the ball, but was hugged directly by James, and the referee blew the whistle.

"LeBron, can you do it? If you really can't, just admit defeat. There is no need to stop me in this way." Su Tian joked with a smile.

"Su, don't be too happy, the game isn't over yet."

Looking at James who was still arrogant, Su Tian knew that even James was beginning to lose confidence in this game.

The game fell into a positional battle, and Su Tian regained the ball and came to the frontcourt.

Facing James' defense again, Su Tian reached out and called Kuz to immediately step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian directly held the ball and launched an attack.

The moment Su Tian started the attack with the ball, he was double-teamed by the Clippers. However, this time, Su Tian did not pass the ball to his teammates, but accelerated again and came to the basket before the double-team was formed. A reverse layup.

The score difference came to 11 points.

At this time, the Lakers fans at the scene had begun to celebrate wantonly, and there was less than 2 minutes left in the game.

As expected, in the next few rounds, the Clippers began to try a lot of three-pointers.

But because Walton made relevant arrangements in advance, the Lakers blocked the three-pointer very promptly.

So much so that the Clippers' three-point shooting percentage is not high.

Time passed bit by bit, but the score difference kept hovering around 10 points.

It wasn't until the end of the game, when the Lakers won the game 119-110, that James and Leonard completely stopped.

At the end of the game, the Clippers lost the chance to defeat the Lakers. The big score came to 3-0, only one game away from sweeping.

Just like the previous game, Su Tian still did not come to the center of the playing field, but turned directly back to the bench.

But James had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stepped forward quickly and stopped Su Tian before he turned around and walked towards the tunnel.

"Su, please help me tell Davis that I really didn't mean it and I'm sorry."

But Su Tian shook his head and said, "You should say this in person instead of letting me convey it."

After Su Tian said that, he turned around and left without stopping at all.

At this time, in the commentary box, Barkley breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Lakers win this game.

"It seems that Su is more trustworthy at the last moment! Su has never let me down!"

"But Charles, do you think the Clippers still have a chance to win a game?" Kenny Smith asked.

"I think the Clippers basically have no chance. Even if the series is not over yet, the Clippers' spirit has probably been shattered." Barkley shook his head and said.

"It seems that the Lakers are really going to break up the Clippers in this game."

After the game, Su Tian once again followed Walton to the post-game interview site.

This time, many reporters seemed calmer. Although the game was fierce, for these media, the heat was far less than the Lakers losing.

"Su, in the last few minutes of this game, the score difference between the two teams was actually very close. Have you ever been worried about losing this game?"

Su Tian said directly: "Losing in games is a very common thing, but I am not worried about losing. This is the source of my progress. I am not afraid of failure."

"Su, after the game, what did James say to you? We see that you didn't say goodbye to the other team's players as usual."

Speaking of this, Su Tian immediately became serious.

"James wanted me to bring him a message to Davis, but I refused, because if he really wanted to apologize, he should take the initiative to find Davis and tell him personally."

"I didn't say goodbye to the opponent's players. It's not that I disrespected my opponent, but I was worried about my teammates. My teammates are always more important to me than my opponents."

At this time, the reporters in the audience automatically blocked everything else Su Tian said, and only heard what Su Tian said: James wanted to apologize to Davis!

"Su, what did James say? What were the original words?" "Sorry, it's not convenient to say. If you want to know, just ask James himself."

"Su, does James want to apologize to Davis? Does he show regret and apology?"

"James wants to apologize, but if he regrets and apologizes, I think you need to ask James himself."

After answering a few more questions, Su Tian's post-game interview ended.

The advantage of playing a series with the Clippers is that you don't have to travel back and forth and can go home every night.

While Su Tian was clean after returning home, James was caught off guard.

"LeBron! Is it true that Sue said you wanted to apologize to Davis?"

"LeBron, if you apologize to Davis, are you admitting that you did it on purpose?"

"Mr. James, may I ask what you said to Su at that time, and why was Su unwilling to convey it?"

"LeBron, how is your relationship with Su at this stage? Are you still friends? Or have you become enemies now?"

Facing the questions from many reporters, James also had a headache and could only answer some common questions.

In the end, faced with the siege of many reporters, James had to leave the game early.

And this news is enough for these reporters to report tomorrow.

The next day, Su Tian did not go to the team's daily training, but went to visit Nongmei.

There is nothing serious about the thick eyebrow injury, but it will take some time to rest and recover.

"Hey Sue, you're here buddy, long time no see."

"Haha, we haven't seen each other for just a few days."

Nongmei and Su Tian hugged each other and greeted each other.

"Su, actually you don't have to worry about me. My injury is not that serious. It's just because of your hard work that you need to take this time." Thick eyebrows said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter to me that you have worked hard. I just hope you can get better soon. At that time, I thought your career was going to end here!" Su Tian said.

"Hahaha, it's not that serious. Don't worry, Su. I will return to the field as soon as possible. I will definitely not delay the team's championship plan!"

Su Tian naturally believed what the thick eyebrows said, but the Lakers' next games will only become more and more difficult, and the thick eyebrows are definitely indispensable.

"Su, I've read yesterday's news and game. Actually, you don't have to be so angry. James also sent me a message last night, saying he wanted to get my forgiveness."

"Then what did you say?"

"I said: I can forgive it, but I won't show mercy in the next games."

Su Tian nodded and said nothing. In fact, even if there was no such thing, the Lakers would not show mercy, so this is still equivalent to the thick eyebrows forgiving James.

"Okay buddy, I wish you a speedy recovery and a speedy return to the game," Su Tian said.

After parting ways with Nongmei, Su Tian drove back to Staples to find coach Walton.

"How's Sue, is Anthony okay?" Wharton asked.

"It looks like he's in good condition, but I don't know if the injury will heal faster." Su Tian replied.

"Actually, there's no need to worry, Su. Our game with the Clippers will basically be resolved in the next game, but this matchup between the Jazz and the Suns won't end so easily. We probably have to wait a while longer." Walton said. As he spoke, he took out the game records between the Jazz and the Suns.

The Jazz and the Suns are currently tied 1-1, and the two teams are evenly matched during the game. They seem to have the potential to play 7 games.

"Tonight is the third game between the Jazz and the Suns. Su, who do you think will win?" Walton asked with a smile.

Su Tian was also uncertain at this time. After all, everything was different now from the past, although the main lineup of the two teams had not changed.

"I think the Suns are more likely. After all, today's game is the Suns' home court. The strength of the two teams is almost the same, and the home court advantage is quite obvious." Su Tian said.

Wharton also nodded when he heard this and said: "What you said makes sense. I only focused on analyzing the strength and tactical issues of the two teams. I forgot that home and away games still have a great impact on the players."

Next, Wharton briefly discussed several tactical coordination issues with Su Tian, ​​and then Su Tian left the arena and returned home.

When he returned home, he happened to catch up with the game between the Jazz and the Suns, so Su Tian turned on the TV and watched the game.

The first thing that catches the eye is the starting lineup of the two teams, which basically has not changed much.

The Suns' main output points are still Paul and Booker, while the Jazz are driven by the two internal and external cores of Mitchell and Gobert.

Logically speaking, the Suns can be considered the core inside and outside, and Ayton is the No. 1 pick!

But it’s a pity that Ayton doesn’t seem to have grown up? In other words, he is actually at this level.

In short, the current Ayton is still unable to support the Suns' entire inside line, especially when facing a high-intensity defensive inside line like Gobert, Ayton has absolutely no room to perform.

I just don’t know if Ayton’s performance will be better in this game.

Soon the game started, Ayton and Gobert stood in the midfield for a jump ball.

Gobert was the first to touch the basketball and return it to his own half.

Mitchell had quick eyes and quick hands and stepped forward to collect the basketball.

The game officially started, and the Jazz made the first attack.

Mitchell advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Booker's defense, Mitchell did not panic at all. After continuous cross dribbles, he held the ball and headed towards the basket.

Booker's defense is indeed not enough, especially since Mitchell is originally an offensive defender.

But as soon as Mitchell broke through, the Suns' defense arrived.

Bridges let go of Royce O'Neal and double-teamed Mitchell.

Upon seeing this, Mitchell passed the ball directly to Royce who was left open.

Royce received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

The game just started and I felt good, Royce hit a three-pointer directly.

3-0

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

After Paul came to the frontcourt and faced Mike Conley's defense, he did not rush to attack, but stretched out his hands to direct his teammates to move.

After a period of tactical coordination, Paul passed the ball directly to Booker outside the three-point line.

Booker caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Booker also hit a three-pointer.

3-3

The two teams once again fell into a quagmire. (End of chapter)
