NBA Old Age Star System

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 136-100, with a point difference of 36 points.

Although this point difference is still some distance away from 58, it is already a significant point difference on the stage of the Western Conference Finals.

"We just checked the relevant data. The largest point difference in NBA history was in the 1972-1973 season. The Lakers beat the Warriors 126-70 by 56 points. The previous second place was in 2015 when the Warriors beat the Rockets 115-80. 35 points, now this position has to be given to this game, the 36-point difference has created the second largest point difference in the history of the Western Conference Finals!"

Barkley took advantage of the end of the game to immediately read the relevant historical records, and directly elevated the game to NBA historical records.

"In this case, both first and second place belong to the Lakers." Kenny Smith said.

"That's true. I can only say that they are worthy of being a Lakers team with a rich historical heritage."

After the game, Su Tian followed Walton to participate in the post-game interview as usual.

In fact, when the game just ended, Su Tian didn't know the historical status of this point difference. It wasn't until he was about to participate in the interview that Walton mentioned it.

After arriving at the scene, a reporter indeed brought up the issue of points difference.

"Coach Walton, why didn't the Lakers win the main players in this game even after they had a clear advantage?"

Walton said with a serious expression: "Because the NBA is the place where miracles are born, I don't know if there will be any miracles in the Suns. I can only go all out. Besides, the Suns were also full lineup at the time. I just expressed to the Suns Due respect.”

"Su, what do you think of this point difference in this game? This is already the second largest point difference in the Western Conference Finals in NBA history, second only to the 73 points of the Lakers 126-70 Warriors in 56."

"Well, I can only say that we have to learn from the seniors of that year. We are still far behind." Su Tian said with a smile.

Su Tian's teasing answer immediately aroused laughter from everyone. Apparently these reporters were also amused by Su Tian's humor.

The interview with the Lakers was very harmonious, but when the Suns were interviewed, it was not so relaxed and comfortable.

"Paul, what do you think of the current situation of the Suns? Is there still a chance to win?"

"Coach Monty, what is the Sun's next adjustment strategy?"

"Booker, how would you rate your performance in this game?"

"Paul, are you optimistic about the future of the Suns? Will the Suns be swept 4-0?"

"Mr. Devin Booker, may I ask what preparations or changes you have made for the next game? Will you lead the team to win?"

A series of questions directly confused several people from the Suns who came to participate in the interview. Of course, Paul was able to hold his own and immediately signaled the press officer and staff to come forward to maintain order.

It's not that the Suns didn't have any backhand power in this game, but it was just a flash in the pan and not lasting.

Whether it is the paper lineup or the absolute strength, the Suns are at a disadvantage. This is indisputable. What the Suns need to discuss now is how to make a comeback when they are at a disadvantage.

Time quickly came to the next day, June 6, and the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals finally started.

Not only are many fans paying attention to this game, but the Lakers in the West are also paying attention.

The Bucks have slightly adjusted their starting lineup.

Jrue Holiday, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, PJ Tucker, Lopez.

The starting lineup for the Eagles is:

Trae Young, Bogdanovic, Kevin Huerter, John Collins, Capela.

Before the game started, there was no doubt that the Bucks were more optimistic about winning, while the Hawks were once again placed at a disadvantage.

Soon the game started, and the Eagles got the first right to attack. Trae Young advanced with the ball to the frontcourt to face Holiday's defense.

Holiday's defense has the strength of the best defensive team, especially when facing a thin shooting guard like Trae Young.

And Trae Young obviously had no intention of asking Holiday to fight alone, but directly reached out and called his teammates to step forward to pick and roll.

Capela immediately stepped forward to cover the wall, then turned around and went straight down the line.

Trae Young also exploded quickly, holding the ball and heading towards the basket, immediately attracting double-teams from Holiday and Antetokounmpo to help defend.

Just before the double-team was about to form, Trae Young quickly passed the ball to Huerter outside the three-point line.

Huerter received the ball and quickly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

3-0

At the beginning of the game, the Eagles took the lead and scored first.

The ball was transferred and the Bucks attacked. Holiday held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Facing Trae Young, he directly reached out and called his teammates to step forward to pick and roll.

He used the pick-and-roll to break through with the ball, but halfway through the breakthrough, he immediately passed the ball to Middleton, who ran out of the three-point line and ran into the open space.

Middleton took the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball hits the rim and bounces into the net.

3-3

The Eagles just hit a three-pointer, and the Bucks immediately responded.

The ball was once again given to the Hawks. This time, Trae Young came to the frontcourt with the ball and made a fake pass. He directly shook Antetokounmpo who stepped forward to help defend. Then he came to the basket and hit the board with a pull-up layup. .

5-3

Although Trae Young is thin, his skills at the basket are not bad, and he can even maintain good core strength.

In the next few rounds, both teams showed good combat effectiveness and seemed to be quite evenly matched.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks temporarily led the Eagles by 28 points 26-2.

At this point in the game, there were still more voices supporting the Bucks, and there were only a small number of supporters on the Eagles side.

The second quarter soon began. In the second quarter, both sides made personnel adjustments, but neither of the two stars came off the field.

Although the Bucks' bench is not weak, the Hawks' bench is also not bad. Gallinari and Solomon Hill are both capable players, and they match the overall attributes of the Hawks.

It's just that in the second quarter, Antetokounmpo started to attack with the ball.

The Eagles' forwards were still a little weak when facing Antetokounmpo, allowing Antetokounmpo to score a lot of points.

Seeing that the point difference was about to reach double digits, the Eagles suddenly ushered in another wave of explosions, hitting consecutive three-pointers to catch up with many scores.

At the end of the second quarter, the score difference between the two teams came to 5 points, and the Bucks temporarily took the lead.

The game entered halftime, and there were a lot of discussions about the game. "I think the Hawks are just lucky. Just like those three-pointers just now, the Bucks have defended very well, but the Hawks still scored. If these goals had not been scored, the Bucks would have been That’s double digits ahead.”

"Why, scoring three-pointers doesn't count as ability?"

"Although I admit that the Bucks are stronger, you can't deny the power of the Eagles!"

"I think Trae Young is more likely to advance to the Finals, because Trae Young feels like Curry to me, and Giannis feels like LeBron."

"Hey man, you can't compare like that, it will only cause all kinds of scoldings."

"But I have to admit that if we only look at the first half of the game, the Hawks are more reluctant and the Bucks are more calm. Although the point difference is not widened, the two teams are in completely different states."

As everyone discussed, time passed minute by minute, and soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

Just when everyone was expecting the Bucks to open up the score, they didn't expect that the Eagles would be the first to start the scoring frenzy.

Trae Young contributed two three-pointers as soon as he started, and then made consecutive passes to assist his teammates. Not only did he quickly catch up with the score, but he also completed the lead.

In the second half of the third quarter, Antetokounmpo began to gradually exert his strength, but whether it was due to bad luck or the Eagles' excellent defense at the basket, Antetokounmpo has been unable to play an efficient offense.

Sometimes, even if he caused damage, he still missed the free throw.

So at the end of the third quarter, the Eagles overtook the score and led the Bucks by 3 points.

At this time, the discussion about this game began to gradually change, with the number of voices supporting the Eagles gradually increasing, and those supporting the Bucks showing a strong rivalry.

However, these voices of support are also very fragile, and most of them are just on the sidelines.

The game soon entered the fourth quarter.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, Antetokounmpo couldn't wait to show off his offensive abilities, constantly holding the ball and heading towards the basket.

After adjustments at this time, Antetokounmpo's performance was better than in the third quarter, but his shooting rate at the free throw line was still not high.

However, after an impact from Antetokounmpo, the Bucks once again completed the lead and once again gained the upper hand.

At the same time, the Eagles were also closely chasing the score. Although they were overtaken, the Eagles have not given up yet, and the point difference is very small.

The eagle is like a prostrate tiger waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the right moment to step forward and eat the deer in front of him!

The change occurred two minutes before the end of the game.

At this time, the Bucks were still leading by 4 points, but with Trae Young hitting two three-pointers, they overtook the Bucks by 2 points.

Just when the Bucks were about to counterattack, Capela made a contribution under the basket!

Antetokounmpo held the ball and headed towards the Hawks basket. Facing Capela's defense, he wanted to directly force a layup. However, Capela saw the right time and quickly took off, perfectly blocking the space for Antetokounmpo to make a layup.

So Antetokounmpo could only force a layup.

boom--

Basketball is a direct hit.

Collins on the side had quick eyes and quick hands. He stepped forward to collect the rebound and passed the ball directly to Trae Young.

Trae Young received the ball and turned around to start the fast break mode. The burst of speed didn't look like he had played a whole game.

So Trae Young took the lead and came to the front basket without anyone around him, and succeeded in a layup.

The Eagles lead by 4 points.

From 4 points behind to 4 points ahead, Trae Young scored 8 points in a row to save the team!

And then the Bucks didn't want to catch up, but the effect was not good, and even because they were too hasty, everyone's shooting rate dropped collectively.

Therefore, until the end of the game, the Bucks still failed to catch up with the score.

At the end of the game, the Eagles narrowly defeated the Bucks 116-113 and successfully won the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals!

"Look! This is the Hawks! This is Trae Young! We will never give up!"

"What a shame for the Bucks, what a great opportunity!"

"To be honest, I didn't realize until now that the difference between Giannis and the super giant is his scoring ability at critical moments."

"When it comes to scoring ability at critical moments, it still depends on Su of our Lakers!"

"If Giannis wants to become a super giant and win a championship, he must have Su's characteristics and be able to hold the team on his shoulders at critical moments!"

"Su is the real active superstar. The rest, Giannis and Trae Young, can only be regarded as All-Stars and superstars."

Su Tian did not expect that a game in the Eastern Conference Finals would indirectly solidify his position. Even if he did nothing, everyone would still discuss Su Tian involuntarily.

Trae Young performed well in this game. He scored 48 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 1 steal. He was worthy of being the best in the game.

In addition, Collins, the second hero of the Hawks, also scored 23 points, 15 rebounds and 1 assist, playing his role perfectly.

For the Bucks, Antetokounmpo scored 34 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Although the statistics were more comprehensive, he scored less, and most importantly, he did not lead the team to victory.

除了字母哥之外，霍勒迪也拿到了33分10助攻4篮板2抢断，命中了5记三分球。

On the contrary, Middleton, known as the Bucks' second leader, only scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and his performance was unsatisfactory.

The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals is over. There is no doubt that this result is beyond some people's expectations.

But Su Tian had no time to worry about these things, because Su Tian had already followed the Lakers to Phoenix, preparing to start the third game of the Western Conference Finals.

On June 6, in Phoenix, the third game of the Western Conference Finals officially started.

The Suns' starting lineup is still Paul, Booker, Bridges, Crowder, and Ayton.

There is no need to change the starting lineup for the Lakers. It is still Brunson, Su Tian, ​​George, Kuzma, and thick eyebrows.

Soon the game starts.

For the Lakers, this game is the first away game in this series, and the Suns' away atmosphere is also very good. Everyone greeted the entire Lakers family very cordially.

So after the game started, the entire Lakers team seemed very excited, ready to show their best and give the audience a better viewing experience.

The thick eyebrows grabbed the first right of attack. Brunson didn't stop after getting the ball, and directly took the ball to the front basket.

Brunson's fast play obviously caught the Suns off guard. Only Paul reacted and wanted to step forward to interfere, but unfortunately the effect was not obvious, so Brunson directly hit a layup.

2-0

"I didn't expect that the Lakers actually chose a fast-playing tactic at the beginning of this game, and it was successful!" Barkley said in surprise.

"Logically speaking, with an experienced veteran player like Paul leading the team, we shouldn't make such a stupid mistake, but it's a pity that such a thing still happened." Kenny Smith said. (End of chapter)
