NBA Old Age Star System

As a famous trash talk in the league, Antetokounmpo naturally knows the origin of the phrase "the future is yours".

But usually, everyone would say this sentence after the game is over, but now Su Tian said this sentence just after the game started. What does it mean?

Does this mean the game is over as soon as it begins?

But before Antetokounmpo had time to think about it, Su Tian had already burst into the basket with the ball.

When Antetokounmpo saw this, he no longer cared about the trash talk, but immediately turned around to chase Su Tian.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the game, Antetokounmpo still had enough physical strength and quickly caught up with Su Tian who was holding the ball.

But at this time, Su Tian did not force the shot. Instead, after attracting the defensive attention, he passed the ball to the thick eyebrows at the basket.

After receiving the ball, the thick eyebrow pushed away the defending Lopez and dunked directly with both hands.

2-0

"Beautiful! The first goal came from the connection between Su Tian and Nongmei!" Barkley said excitedly.

When Nongmei returned to defense, he found Su Tian, ​​and the two of them high-fived each other in unison.

The ball was transferred and it was the Bucks' turn to attack. Holiday advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Antetokounmpo.

The Lakers' first attack was given to Su Tian, ​​and the Bucks naturally couldn't give it to others.

It's just that the person responsible for defending Antetokounmpo is not Su Tian, ​​but George. Su Tian can only silently cheer for George in his heart, because the Bucks will not be stupid enough to take Su Tian there and let Su Tian participate in the agreement. Guard against it.

Just like this time, Antetokounmpo got the ball and was about to attack at a 45-degree angle on the left, but Middleton had already taken Su Tian to the right corner.

You know, Su Tian has received dpoy. If Su Tian is really involved in assisting defense, Antetokounmpo's efficiency will only drop again.

At this time, Antetokounmpo got the ball and faced George's defense. He first stretched out his feet to test, and after testing, he reached out and called his teammates to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Antetokounmpo broke out with the ball and strode towards the basket. Although George was also on the defensive line, he was also successfully broken through at this moment against Antetokounmpo.

At this time, the thick eyebrows on the inside were also ready to help defend. After Antetokounmpo successfully broke through George's defense, the thick eyebrows immediately stepped forward to help defend and double-team.

Antetokounmpo also did not take a defensive shot with thick eyebrows, but passed the ball to Lopez.

Lopez received the ball and was still some distance away from the basket, so Lopez shot directly.

Swah——

Basketball hits steadily.

2-2

"The Bucks also performed well. Giannis and Lopez also cooperated very well, which can be regarded as a response to the Lakers' cooperation." Barkley said.

The ball was once again given to the Lakers, and Brunson still came to the frontcourt with the ball. However, this time Su Tian did not reach for the ball, but successfully attracted the Bucks' defensive attention through movement.

So Brunson took advantage of everyone's attention and immediately rushed to the basket with the ball. After quickly reaching the basket, he found a suitable opportunity for a layup.

Bang——shua——

Basketball hit the board.

4-2

Brunson also showed his own strength in this goal. It is not easy to show this ability on the stage of the finals.

Then the Bucks' offense came. This time Antetokounmpo broke through and passed the ball to Holiday on the outside. Holiday received the ball and shot a three-pointer.

But it's a pity that the shot failed to hit. Basketball is forged.

Lopez and Big Eyebrow blocked each other under the basket, and Antetokounmpo and George also participated.

But I didn't expect that the last rebound was collected by Kuzma.

After Kuzma collected the rebound, he reacted very quickly and immediately turned around and took the ball to the frontcourt basket.

Kuzma's reaction was already very fast, but someone on the Bucks side still reacted and double-teamed Kuzma.

Before the double-team was about to form, Kuzma quickly passed the ball to Su Tian. Su Tian also ran towards the frontcourt after receiving the ball, immediately attracting two defenders.

Su Tian led two defenders to the front basket. Su Tian noticed the two people behind him, so he did not force the shot, but smashed the ball onto the backboard.

When the two people behind saw this, they secretly thought something bad, but before they could react, Kuzma behind him had already jumped up, caught the basketball and dunked directly.

6-2

"Well done! Man." Su Tian stepped forward and high-fived Kuzma as he landed.

In the first few rounds, all five members of the Lakers' starting lineup performed well, all showing the style of a championship team and reflecting the team's tacit understanding of tactical coordination.

Of course, this is also related to everyone’s own desire to express themselves.

After all, the NBA is a huge vanity fair. The money and status everyone wants to pursue can be achieved here.

In the next few rounds, the two teams began to chase each other. Of course, the Bucks were mainly chasing.

The Lakers have always maintained a leading position. Although the lead is almost the same and there is even the possibility of being overtaken at any time, the Lakers still maintain a strong lead.

Soon the first quarter ended, and the Lakers led the Bucks by 31 points 26-5.

"Judging from the first quarter, the Bucks' fighting spirit is still good and they still maintain a relatively high fighting spirit." Barkley said.

"Indeed, the fighting spirit is not bad, and the point difference is not big. It depends on what the Bucks do next." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, Budenholzer was also making his final struggle.

"Guys, listen up, the Lakers have not experienced a failure in the playoffs for three years, let alone the Finals. If you can win this game, it will definitely be recorded in NBA history. Come on! Giannis, you will be directly comparable to Iverson! Or even surpass him!"

Although Antetokounmpo has no interest in Iverson, he also knows what Budenholzer means.

Iverson gave the top OK group the only defeat that year, and was criticized by fans for several years.

Now, if I can defeat the Lakers who have been undefeated for three consecutive years, they will definitely be remembered in history!

The entire Bucks team is inspired again after experiencing Budenholzer's chicken soup.

The Lakers seem to be quieter here.

"The Bucks' counterattack should be more intense in the second quarter. Everyone, please protect yourselves. Paul, the first half of the second quarter will be left to you. You should keep the lead."

Wharton arranged the work step by step.

Soon the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began.

The Lakers are still following the usual practice, with George and others leading the team, while the Bucks are led by Middleton and Lopez, with Antetokounmpo temporarily taking a break.

The first possession of the second quarter was given to the Bucks. Middleton held the ball and came to the frontcourt. Facing George's defense, Middleton was not afraid at all. He used the pick-and-roll to break through and made a jump shot.

Although Middleton's shooting speed is not slow, the Lakers' substitute center McGee is also very fast.

boom--

The shot was interfered with and the basketball was blocked.

Brunson got the rebound, turned around and launched a fast break.

Brunson was very fast and reached the frontcourt in a blink of an eye. After continuously avoiding the Bucks' defense, he made a pull-up layup and scored directly.

In order to protect their lead, the Lakers could only score first. But then the offense and defense of the two teams entered the normal process, and the score stalemate began.

Middleton was unable to lead the team to catch up with the score, and it was equally difficult for George to continue to widen the score.

Soon after half of the second quarter, the two teams were still about 5 points apart. At this time, Walton took advantage of the dead ball to bring Su Tian and others onto the court.

After the substitutions and adjustments, there is no doubt that the Lakers' combat effectiveness has soared, and the Bucks also brought in Antetokounmpo to face off against Su Tian.

The two faced off again, and Su Tian began to gradually score with the ball, but Antetokounmpo's defense and interference were also effective, otherwise the point difference would have been widened long ago.

In the second quarter, neither side had any obvious advantage, and both teams maintained their current status.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers still held a 6-point lead.

"There were 6 points in the half, and there was still more to play. I didn't expect that this was the last game, and the Bucks were still so perseverant."

"The last game? Not necessarily. If the Bucks win this game, they will have to move to Los Angeles!"

"I think it is unlikely that the Bucks will win, but we can count on whether the Bucks can score the smallest point difference and force the strongest force."

"Actually, the Bucks had a chance to win a game, but they didn't grasp it."

"It's not just the Bucks. This is not the Bucks' problem, it's the Lakers' problem. In the past three years, which team has been able to win a game against the Lakers in the playoffs?"

"I think the Bucks should work harder, maybe there will be a chance."

The game entered the intermission, and outside discussions began to stir up the discussion.

Both teams returned to the locker room very calmly.

Both teams know very well that the series is over, but this game is still uncertain, so both the Bucks and Lakers are actually very serious.

The Lakers will not make the stupid mistake of "opening the champagne at halftime".

"Guys, listen up, we must not slack off, we must stay calm and vigilant, and adjust your mentality!" Walton said seriously as he looked at the players.

At this time, Su Tian also stood up and began to express his position.

"There is an old saying in our country, which is that a man who can walk a hundred miles is only half as good as ninety. It probably means that half of the people will fail when they are close to success, so we must persevere! Persevere until we win the game!"

"We only have the last half game left to win three consecutive championships, and we are not allowed to fail at this time! As long as we stay vigilant and play to our own strength, we will definitely be able to win the final championship! So, brothers , let us work hard together, the championship is right in front of us!"

Walton and Su Tian's continuous words of encouragement allowed the Lakers players to maintain their fighting spirit and vigilance.

At the same time, the Bucks are also mobilizing the players' fighting spirit.

"With a 6-point difference, we can still fight! We must not give up at this time. We are only half a game away from making a hit in NBA history! Hold on!"

Budenholzer also knows that it is impossible to attract everyone with championships now. In this case, it is better to use the slogan "Refuse to Sweep".

This game attracted far more attention than ever before, not only from the basketball world, but also from various media and people from other circles. In today's terms, it was "breaking the circle."

Because whether the Lakers or the Bucks win this game, it will be remembered in history.

If the Lakers win, then the Lakers will create three consecutive championships! Still undefeated for three consecutive times and won the championship!

But if the Bucks win, it will be the first team to defeat the Lakers in the playoffs in three years!

Either of these two things is a hot topic in the news, so these reporters and media will never give up.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

Both sides got their entire starting lineup.

The first attack was given to the Bucks, and Holiday came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Just when everyone thought Holiday was going to pass the ball to Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo suddenly turned around and cut away towards the basket.

Antetokounmpo's actions undoubtedly attracted the Lakers' defensive attention, so Holiday took the opportunity to pass a pass to Tucker in the bottom corner.

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

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

"Well done! Only 3 points left! Hold on!" Budenholzer shouted from the sidelines.

The ball possession changed and it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

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

Having just stolen a three-pointer by the Bucks, Su Tian, ​​as the star player, must respond.

So Su Tian directly stretched out his hand and called for thick eyebrows to come forward to cooperate with the pick and roll. He used the pick and roll to initiate a breakthrough. After attracting double-team defense, Su Tian passed the ball.

But this time the pass was not given to Big Eyebrow, but to George outside the three-point line.

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

Swah——

George made a solid hit.

The score difference returned to 6 points again.

The score difference between the two teams was deadlocked at about 5 points, but the Bucks still did not give up.

In the next few rounds, Antetokounmpo began to frequently hit the basket with the ball. Many of them hit, and some even caused damage.

The score difference began to change, but just when it showed signs of narrowing, Su Tian stood up again.

Su Tian first broke through to the basket and hit a hook shot, then hit a pull-up jump shot, and then punished his opponent with a three-pointer.

Halfway through the third quarter, the score difference reached 7 points.

According to previous practice, Su Tian and Nongmei should take a rest at this time, and George and others will lead the team.

But this time Su Tian stayed on the field.

"Su, are you going to go all out?!" Barkley looked very excited.

"I don't know if I'm going all out or not, but looking at my attitude, I should be working harder than before!" Kenny Smith said.

Su Tian has always been considered to have failed to show his full strength in the first three quarters because of his "King of the Last Quarter" badge. He was recuperating, and even the playoffs were no exception.

Therefore, when Su Tian took the initiative to stay on the court, everyone looked forward to it, looking forward to the appearance of the full-power Su. (End of chapter)
