NBA Old Age Star System

In the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks took an absolute advantage from the beginning.

Giannis Antetokounmpo struck early and took the lead.

Although they only led by 6 points at the end of the first quarter, in terms of morale and the situation on the field, the Bucks still had an absolute advantage.

Soon the second quarter started.

In the second quarter, Trae Young wanted to catch up with the score quickly, so he took a lot of three-pointers, but unfortunately the hit rate was not high. Instead, he gave the Bucks many opportunities to defend and counterattack.

As a result, the Bucks' advantage became bigger and bigger in the second quarter. At the end of the second quarter, the score had reached 77-45, and the Bucks led by 32 points.

The Bucks defeated the Hawks by 26 points in the second quarter, and the Bucks' morale reached its peak.

"Well, with this point difference, I can only say that the Eagles probably have no chance."

"What chance do we have here? The difference is more than 30 points. Even if Su comes, he won't be able to catch up."

"It seems that the Eagles were really lucky to win the first game. It seems that the Bucks' promotion is certain."

"It's hard to say. After all, this is just a game. We don't know what the next game will be like."

"Even if there is not such a big point difference in the next game, it will be difficult for the Eagles to win."

While the fans were discussing, the intermission ended quickly and the third quarter began.

Trae Young still struggled on the court at the beginning of the third quarter, but found that the effect was not good, so he had to take a rest, and the Hawks also replaced all the substitute lineups.

As a result, the Eastern Conference Finals had already entered garbage time before the middle of the third quarter.

At the end of the game, the Bucks won the game 125-91, and the score was tied at 1-1.

Regarding this game, Su Tian only watched the first half of the game. After all, the outcome was already determined in the first half of the game.

"It seems that the Bucks' trip to the finals is almost confirmed." Su Tian said to himself.

Although this is just a game, Su Tian can see clearly that the Bucks have a clear advantage. As long as they perform normally, the Eagles will never be their opponents.

Based on hard power alone, the Eagles really cannot beat the Bucks. If the Eagles want to compete with the Bucks, they can only perform exceptionally, or there is a point that the Bucks cannot solve.

The day after the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the fourth game of the Western Conference also started on time.

June 6, Game 27 of the Western Conference Finals.

This game is a match point game for the Lakers and a dignified game for the Suns to fight against the odds.

Su Tian and others heard overwhelming shouts as soon as they entered the competition venue.

"Refuse to sweep! Refuse to sweep! Refuse to sweep!"

"Defeat the Lakers! Defeat the Lakers! Defeat the Lakers!"

"BEAT LA! BEAT LA! BEAT LA!"

The shouts at the scene were overwhelming, as if they were going to engulf the Lakers.

Although the atmosphere at the scene was full, it did not affect the Lakers' overall mentality and desire to win.

"Guys, look at these fans around you, they know they are losing, that's why they are shouting so loudly, so don't be intimidated by their bravado, use your energy and defeat them!"

Wharton said these morale-boosting words as if shouting.

Soon the game officially started, and the starting lineups of the two teams remained unchanged.

Brunson, Su Tian, ​​George, Kuzma, thick eyebrows.

Paul, Booker, Bridges, Crowder, Ayton.

Thick Eyebrow took the lead in grabbing the right to attack. Brunson got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Brunson first observed the situation on the court and found that the Suns' defense was chasing closely and there was no particularly good opportunity, so he immediately passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Booker.

After the Suns lost the last game, there were not only signs of discord between the generals, but also a lot of remarks against Booker, questioning Booker's level and ability, and believing that Booker had no ability to lead a team. .

In fact, Booker also felt bitter and couldn't express it. After all, he was facing the number one player in the league!

This is not something that just anyone can face.

At this time, Su Tian first tried the three-threat test, and then stretched out his hand to call Nongmei to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of thick eyebrows' pick-and-roll, Su Tian burst out and rushed directly to the basket.

The moment Su Tian completed his breakthrough, he immediately attracted a double-team from the Suns, so Su Tian passed the ball to Kuzma, who was left open on the outside.

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

Swah——

With the bonus of Su Tian's passing, Kuzma's three-point shooting rate is very high.

3-0

"Okay, the Lakers took the lead in scoring at the beginning. This game is a redemption battle for the Suns. Whether they can perform well depends on how they perform in the first round." Barkley said.

At this time, the ball had been transferred, and Paul advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, observing the Lakers' defensive position while directing the players' tactical movements.

Booker never stopped running and kept trying to get rid of Su Tian's defense, but he failed to get a suitable opportunity after several pick-and-roll screens.

Paul couldn't wait any longer, so he reached out and called Ayton to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll, using the pick-and-roll to make a breakthrough.

According to Paul's personality, halfway through the breakthrough, he immediately passed the ball to the hands of Ayton who was downhill.

After receiving the ball, Ayton directly attacked the basket, but faced with a great opportunity, Ayton did not choose to dunk, but chose to go for a layup.

boom--

However, Ayton's luck was not very good. The basketball did not hit the ball, but bounced off the edge of the basket.

Upon seeing this, the thick eyebrow immediately stepped forward to collect the rebound and quickly passed the ball to George on the side.

George received the ball and turned around to initiate a fast break. Bridges stepped forward to steal the ball, but George dribbled the ball behind his back to complete the breakthrough and accelerated towards the front court again.

Then Claude also wanted to step forward to steal. This time George passed the ball directly to Su Tian in front.

Su Tian received the ball and quickly came to the frontcourt, easily finishing the layup.

5-0

"The Lakers once again completed the strategy of taking the lead at the beginning. I don't know how the Suns will respond." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, the ball returned to the Suns again, and Paul slowly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Paul made a downward gesture to indicate that the ball should be stabilized and played slowly.

Seeing this, other members of the Suns team also slowed down and started running tactics to cooperate.

After continuous running and passing, the ball was given to Booker. According to the normal tactical process, Booker should have a good offensive opportunity at this time, but Su Tian's defense was too tight, so Booker had to pass the ball again to Bridges who was cutting in the air. .

Bridges received the ball and went straight to the basket. He encountered thick eyebrows' defensive interference under the basket and made a layup despite the interference.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

5-2

"The Suns finally hit the first goal of the opening game. The name Bridges really attracted a lot of attention in this series." Kenny Smith said.

After Bridges hit the layup, the Suns' offense returned to normal. Except for Booker's side, which was still being guarded by Su Tian, ​​several other points entered a normal rhythm.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Suns by 32 points 25-7.

"I feel like the two teams have entered the rhythm of the previous games. The Lakers took advantage first, and the Suns resisted again. In the end, the final victory was taken away by the Lakers." Kenny Smith said with his hands spread.

"So, it depends on whether the Suns make other moves. If the Suns don't make other moves, the Lakers will shave their heads," Barkley said.

At this time, there was also a heated discussion on the Suns' bench.

"We must win this game! This is the last explanation we can give!" Paul said looking at head coach Monty.

"Paul, I know, but we must come up with a set of effective tactics, otherwise we might as well maintain the status quo." Monty frowned and said.

"I think we must at least take action! We must make changes!" Paul said helplessly.

Paul and Monty had completely different views on the team's tactics and choices. As for Booker on the side, they both chose to ignore it in a tacit understanding.

It's not that the two of them don't value Booker, but judging from these three games, Booker's biggest role is to contain Su Tian, ​​and the others have no effect at all.

Although Paul and Monty argued endlessly, time waited for no one, and soon the intersection ended and the second quarter began.

The two teams still chose the previous lineup combination. On the Lakers' side, Su Tian took a rest, and on the Suns' side, Paul took a rest and Booker led the team.

According to the practice of the previous three games, as long as Su Tian is not on the court for the Lakers, Booker can usher in a small explosion.

This time is no exception. Booker also wants to catch up with some scores while Su Tian is away.

So as soon as the second quarter started, Booker held the ball and hit hard.

Although the shooting rate is still not high, at least he is starting to score points. It is estimated that after this game is over, Booker can still score good statistics.

It's just that the point difference between the two teams is getting wider and wider.

Halfway through the second quarter, the point difference had reached 11 points. At this time, Su Tian came on again to replace George.

After half a quarter of rest, it was enough for Su Tian to recover.

After Su Tian came on the court, the Suns immediately made substitution adjustments and Paul came on the field.

Because Su Tian would definitely guard Booker closely after he came on the court, the Suns directly asked Booker to stand aside to contain Su Tian, ​​and let Paul lead the team.

The strategy of letting Booker contain Su Tian caused Su Tian to lose the opportunity and ability to assist in defense, but it also caused Booker to lose the opportunity to participate in the team's offense.

For the sun, this basically means killing eight hundred enemies and damaging one thousand.

So in the second half of the second quarter, Su Tian continued to score with the ball. On the other hand, the Suns could not respond in time because they broke an arm, and the score difference became wider and wider.

At the end of the second quarter, the score had reached 18 points and was about to reach 20 points.

The game entered halftime.

"In the East, there was a 32-point difference at halftime, and in the West, there was a 20-point difference at halftime. It doesn't seem so outrageous," Barkley said.

"Yes, whether it's the East or the West, the gap in strength seems to be quite obvious." Kenny Smith said.

"Then let's look forward to the strong showdown in the finals."

At this time, in the locker rooms of the two teams.

The Lakers were relatively quiet, and Walton didn't emphasize anything. He just calmed everyone's emotions and even emphasized not to be happy too early or too happy.

But the sun is not so relaxed and comfortable.

"Coach, you'd better come up with a solution quickly. We can try again in the third quarter." Paul came to Monty's side and said softly.

Monty nodded to show that he understood.

In fact, Monty had no good solution for a long time. After all, the team's core team had been "blocked" by Su Tian. No matter how talented Monty was, he would not be able to create any miracles.

"In this way, we still have to take more three-pointers in the third quarter. Paul, you find a way to speed up the game and increase the offensive rounds. Booker, I need you to participate in the team's offense! Others, if you have the opportunity Just shoot more three-pointers! Don’t waste opportunities.”

There was no particularly good solution, so Monty could only bite the bullet and come up with some conventional solutions.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

Both teams also replaced their entire starting lineups, and the Suns looked like they were going to fight to the death.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Suns. Paul advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Brunson's defense, he still reached out and called on his teammates to run tactics to cooperate.

After a period of tactical movement, Paul passed a pass to Booker.

As soon as Booker got the ball, he immediately faced Su Tian's defense again, but Booker caught the ball without hesitation and shot directly.

boom--

Not surprisingly, basketball is a direct hit.

Nongmei turned around to collect the rebound, but this time Nongmei was immediately hugged by Crowder before he could pass the ball.

The Lakers' fast break was blocked and the game entered a positional battle.

The Lakers served again, and Su Tian stepped forward to receive the ball and came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Booker's defense, Su Tian reached out and called on his thick eyebrows to come forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to reach the basket with the ball.

Su Tian had just broken through Booker's defense, and then Bridges came to help defend against the double-team. Su Tian immediately changed his body and shook Bridges away, and continued to drive towards the basket with the ball.

Just when Su Tian came to the basket to collect the ball for a layup, Ayton also stretched his arms to help prevent interference, but Su Tian used a small lever to avoid Ayton's defense and shot for a layup.

Bang——shua——

"What a shot! Su's pull action is so beautiful! It reminds me of Michael." Barkley said with emotion.

"There are still some differences. Michael's ability to stay in the air is better, but Su's passing threat is greater. Just look at Su just looking at Davis, and Ayton immediately turned his head to observe." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, the score difference reached 20 points. Booker looked at Su Tian in front of him, filled with despair.

"What should I do to defeat you, Su." (End of Chapter)
