NBA Old Age Star System

The second quarter was not easy for the Bucks. Although Antetokounmpo was not present, with Middleton and Lopez, the Bucks still had the power to fight.

So in the next few rounds, the substitute lineups of the two teams went back and forth, and George and Middleton were evenly matched.

Brunson has the advantage on the back line, but Lopez also has the advantage on the inside.

Originally, at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers only led by 3 points. By the time halfway through the second quarter, the difference between the two teams had been evened out and they were on the same starting line.

At this time, Su Tian came on the stage again, took over the ball from the team, and hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court.

Su Tian's shot was so sudden that Allen on the Bucks didn't react in time.

With Su Tian playing, the Bucks naturally also arranged for Antetokounmpo to play.

Antetokounmpo caught the ball in the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Brando's defense, Antetokounmpo changed direction and easily headed towards the basket.

The thick eyebrows on the inside were already prepared, and Antetokounmpo gritted his teeth and rushed forward forcefully.

The two had a fierce collision in the air, and the block with thick eyebrows blocked the sky. Antetokounmpo couldn't find the right time to take action.

But in the end he reluctantly took action.

boom--

Unsurprisingly, basketball went straight to the iron, but what followed was the referee's whistle.

drop--

The thick eyebrow shook his head helplessly, spread his hands and went to the referee to explain, while Antetokounmpo turned his head and walked to the free throw line.

But fortunately, Antetokounmpo's free throws were really not good, and he made one of two free throws.

The ball possession was changed, and Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball again.

This time Allen had a better memory and immediately stepped forward to challenge. Su Tian calmly stretched out his hand and called for thick eyebrows to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian rushed directly to the basket with a quick burst and easily succeeded in a layup.

Allen behind him wanted to pursue him, but he couldn't catch up at all.

The points difference between the two teams began to appear, and the Lakers once again took the lead.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers had the help of Su Tian, ​​and the overall operation was very smooth, with both offense and defense online.

As for the Bucks, because Antetokounmpo is present, it's not bad, but it's still slightly inferior.

By the end of the second quarter, the Lakers returned to the locker room with an 8-point lead.

As for the Bucks, although they are 8 points behind, their overall morale has not been shattered and they still have fighting spirit.

"At the end of the first half, the Lakers lead by 8 points, which is similar to my previous prediction." Barkley said.

"After all, the Lakers are still Lakers, and Su is still Su. It's too early for Giannis to challenge Su now."

But Kenny Smith on the side shook his head and said: "Compared to the Bucks, the Lakers always feel that they have too much luck. If we play a series, I still think the Bucks are better."

The disagreement between the two commentators naturally aroused discussion among some fans.

"Charles is right. Su is still Su after all. How old is he? He is at his peak!"

"What you said makes it sound like Giannis is not at his peak!"

"That Greek is just a stepping-stone criminal! Has everyone forgotten?"

"Giannis is a black man all his life! There is no need to clean up!"

"For a controversial figure like Giannis, it is impossible for the league to let him come to the forefront, so in comparison, Su is more suitable."

Fans on both sides quarreled endlessly, and some even escalated to personal attacks.

But all this has nothing to do with Su Tian. Su Tian is currently in the locker room trying to regain his strength. Although Su Tian has been very conscious about conserving his strength, he still consumes a lot.

"Su, the team will still rely on your offense in the second half, are you okay?" Walton asked.

"Don't worry, coach, there's no problem." Su Tian replied naturally.

"Guys, please pay attention. The Bucks' offensive strategy will not change much in the second half, but in addition to what I emphasized before, everyone still needs to pay attention to adapting to changes while protecting themselves and avoiding injuries."

Time passed by minute by second, and soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, both sides took the starting lineup and gave the ball to the Bucks.

Holiday advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Antetokounmpo.

When Antetokounmpo got the ball, facing George's defense, he still looked like he was preparing to hit it with the ball.

But Antetokounmpo held the ball halfway through the breakthrough and passed a pass to Holiday outside the three-point line.

But just when the ball was about to come to Holiday, Su Tian suddenly appeared! Intercepted Antetokounmpo's pass!

After Su Tian successfully stole the ball, he immediately turned around and started fast break mode.

Holiday and Allen wanted to turn around and chase, but they were no match for Su Tian. Even if they wanted to foul, they couldn't touch Su Tian's body.

Su Tian sprinted all the way to the front basket and dunked with both hands.

"Beautiful! I knew Su would give a wonderful performance right from the start!"

"There is no need to elaborate on how powerful Su is! Awesome!"

"The Lakers must win!!"

"GOAT!!!"

Su Tian started the third quarter with a steal and dunk, which directly suppressed the Bucks' rising morale and suppressed the Bucks again.

In the next few rounds, Antetokounmpo tried to boost morale several times, but the effect was mediocre.

The point difference between the two teams has been hovering around 10 points.

But the Bucks didn't show any anxiety, which was different from last season's performance.

Until halfway through the third quarter, after Su Tian came off the court to rest, the Bucks showed their fangs again.

The Bucks took advantage of Su Tian's absence and used the entire main lineup to chase points. The effect was also very good, and the point difference was once only 2 points behind.

At the end of the third quarter, just when Walton thought the Bucks were going to take the lead, Brando suddenly broke out and hit two consecutive three-pointers, opening the point difference to 5 points.

The third quarter also ended with the Lakers leading by 5 points.

When Brando came off the field, he was unanimously encouraged by everyone. Su Tian also took the initiative to touch the back of Brando's head to express encouragement.

Brando has grown a lot this season, especially after Walton gave a lot of playing time, Brando has obviously become more stable and mature.

But Su Tian could not find a player named Brando in his memory. Obviously this was a player that did not exist in the history of his previous life. Perhaps he was not noticed in his previous life, so the pearl was covered in dust.

But after thinking about it, Su Tian looked at a badge "Juyi Hall" in his system, wondering if there was any effect of the badge in it. At this time, the difference between the two teams is only 5 points, and the Bucks still retain the hope of winning. Antetokounmpo and Budenholzer naturally do not want to give up.

In the Bucks locker room at this time, Budenholzer looked at the Bucks players, holding a tactical board in his hand.

"Guys, listen up, in the fourth quarter our defensive focus is on only one person, and that is Sue, Giannis, double-team me!"

Antetokounmpo nodded and said, "Okay coach."

There is no doubt that Su Tian's defense will be the focus of the Bucks in the fourth quarter, and the offense can still only rely on the performance of Antetokounmpo and other players.

At the same time, the Lakers' locker room is also arranging tactics for the fourth quarter.

"Su, the Bucks will definitely focus their defensive efforts on you in the fourth quarter. It's up to you to decide exactly what to do. Others will try their best to help Su and follow Su's command."

"On the defensive end, we focus on the three-pointers and the basket, and give them the mid-range. Anthony, you guard the basket in the interior, especially against Giannis' help defense, you must be in place in time!"

With Walton's series of arrangements, the Lakers' tactics gradually became clear.

Soon the intersection ended and the fourth quarter began.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers were naturally led by Su Tian and Nongmei, while the Bucks were led by Antetokounmpo and Holiday.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Lakers. Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Antetokounmpo's defense, he directly reached out and called for thick eyebrows to come forward to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll with thick eyebrows, Su Tian held the ball and went to the basket. He was immediately double-teamed by the Bucks as soon as he broke through two steps. So Su Tian decisively passed the ball to Dort who was left open outside the three-point line.

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

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily, and the point difference came to 8 points.

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

When Antetokounmpo got the ball and faced Su Tian's defense, he also started with a pick-and-roll. However, the Lakers followed Walton's defensive tactics and defended the three-pointer and the basket, giving them a mid-range position.

Antetokounmpo broke through all the way to the mid-range, hesitated for a moment, and then rushed toward the basket.

Antetokounmpo's mid-range is not stable, he might as well rush to the basket and cause damage.

But it's a pity that Antetokounmpo's wishful thinking came to nothing. The thick eyebrows occupied the position, not giving Antetokounmpo any chance to shoot, and Su Tian was interfering from the side.

boom--

Basketball is playing iron, thick eyebrows turned around to collect the rebound, and passed the ball to Brando on the side. Brando passed the ball again to Dort who was running in front.

Dort took the lead and ran ahead with the ball, quickly came to the basket in the frontcourt and made an easy layup.

The score difference came to 10 points.

"The Bucks must come up with an effective method, otherwise this game will be won by the Lakers."

"The Bucks were never a match for the Lakers, but Su never took it seriously before."

"I think Su's personal ability is undoubtedly better than Giannis, but in terms of overall strength, the Bucks are better than the Lakers."

"George and Davis didn't provide much help to Sue. The Lakers mainly relied on Sue's support."

While the fans were discussing, the game on the field was also going on simultaneously, but the score difference seemed to be set at about 10 points, and there was not much change.

Until halfway through the fourth quarter, the two sides started to make substitution adjustments at the same time in a very tacit understanding.

After the Lakers got the entire main lineup, they seemed to have a great advantage against the Bucks' starting lineup.

First, Su Tian passed the ball to assist thick eyebrows and scored at the basket. Then George made an air cut to attract the defense, and Su Tian made a mid-range shot.

Then Brunson ran out of an open opportunity, Su Tian passed the ball to him, and Brunson caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

Although the goals in the fourth quarter were more or less related to Su Tian, ​​it is an indisputable fact that the score difference has widened.

In the end, the Bucks still failed to catch up with the score, and the Lakers won the game 121-105.

Su Tian scored 40 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 steals.

This Christmas Day game is a much-anticipated game, and being won by the Lakers can be regarded as a morale boost for Lakers fans.

After all, the Lakers' record during this period is indeed relatively mediocre, there is nothing particularly outstanding, and there are not even many games where the Big Three can gather together.

After the game, Su Tian went for an interview as usual.

"Su, the Lakers' record has been ups and downs during this period, and even your main players haven't played many games. Is there any conflict?"

Su Tian held up the microphone and said: "There is no contradiction, it is just the team's arrangement. We are all following the coach's arrangement."

"Su, do you think you are confident in defending your title this season? After all, the record is not as dominant as before."

"I definitely still have confidence. I said that our goal every season is to win the championship, and this will not change. As for the lack of an advantage in record, this is not a big problem and it is not a reason to prevent us from winning the championship."

Immediately afterwards, Su Tian dealt with some reporters and finally ended the interview.

After the interview, Su Tian immediately went home because Su Tian found that the mid-range shooting attributes that he had been working on for a long time had just reached 101, which meant that the star card of Drazen Petrovic was finally integrated. Got it!

After returning home, Su Tian took a shower and changed clothes as usual. After burning incense and praying, he opened the system interface.

In fact, at this point, Su Tian himself doesn't know what else he can improve, because everything is already perfect at the moment. He just needs to continue to gain honors and improve his historical ranking.

After opening the system interface, Su Tian saw the words "Fusion Complete", so he started chanting the spell as usual.

"The Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Emperor Wenchang, and all the gods will bless you. I hope you can draw a good card!"

"Left Zero and Right Fire! Raikou help me! Crush the darkness with thunder!!"

"open!!!"

"Drawing in progress, please wait."

"Dip - Congratulations to the host for successfully extracting Dikembe Mutombo (06-07 season)."

"What the hell? Mutombo? It's not Brother Tongzi. I know Mutombo's defense is very good, but in his twilight season, I'm afraid it won't give him any improvement, right?"

Su Tian opened the system properties interface as he spoke.
