NBA Old Age Star System
Chapter 477 The arrogant Morant explores the depth of the Nuggets
"Is it true? The value is so high? The three attributes have directly risen to over 90?" Su Tian said he didn't understand but accepted it happily.
After all, in the final analysis, it is one's own strength that increases the attribute value.
However, the two badges that come with it are also very useful, and can effectively increase Su Tian's strength on the defensive end.
After the Christmas Day game, the Lakers continue to start their regular season.
On December 12, the Lakers played against the Rockets away from home. They still played with a semi-main lineup and won 29-123.
On December 12, the Lakers played back-to-back away games against the Grizzlies. Walton directly rested all the main players from the previous game against the Rockets, allowing George to come on with a bunch of substitutes.
99-104, the Lakers unfortunately lost.
At this point, all the Lakers' games in December are over, and the Lakers' regular season record has stabilized at fourth place.
Time has arrived in 2022 unknowingly. Su Tian's prophetic attributes as a time traveler are gradually approaching zero, but Su Tian's own strength is no longer the same.
On January 1st, the Lakers played against the Trail Blazers at home. Since it was a home game and the first day of the New Year, Walton arranged for the entire main lineup to play.
Facing the Lakers' full lineup, the Trail Blazers were helpless. 139-106, the Lakers took a 30-point lead.
The Lakers' bench players have gradually improved in all aspects because they have a lot of playing time. When facing the Trail Blazers' bench in garbage time, they still chose to attack hard.
After defeating the Trail Blazers, the Lakers had two days of vacation, and Su Tian also returned home to rest and adjust.
On second thought, Su Tian has been in the league for 2014 years since he entered the league in 8. These 8 years have been quite fruitful.
Su Tian looked at the scenery outside the window and was stunned. After so many years, Su Tian couldn't even remember his identity as a time traveler. Subconsciously, he thought that he was from here. Only when he saw the system interface, he realized something. thing.
"You still have to keep working hard, your career has just begun." Su Tian murmured to himself.
On January 1, the Lakers played against the Kings at home.
The Lakers, who played with a semi-main lineup, still won the game easily.
On January 1, the Lakers played against the Hawks at home. Su Tian led a group of substitutes to play, and the two teams fought fiercely until the last two minutes.
In the last two minutes, relying on Su Tian's defensive blockade of Trae Young, the Hawks' offense came to a standstill, and the Lakers also seized this opportunity, took the lead, and finally won the game.
This game was difficult to win, but in the end it was won through the efforts of the entire Lakers team.
On January 1, the Lakers continued to play against the Grizzlies at home, 10-119. The Lakers' bench once again lost to the Grizzlies.
The Lakers lost several consecutive games against the Grizzlies, which gave Morant an inexplicable confidence.
"I don't know why many people regard the Lakers as the enemy. It's just ordinary."
"Yes, we have no opponents in the Western Conference. We will win the championship this season, and we will even win more than one championship."
"We have already set our sights on the east. There is really nothing to worry about in the west."
Morant's speech shocked many people and directly ignited a thunder on the quiet lake.
"Is he crazy? What is he talking about?"
"There are no opponents in the West? Do you think you are invincible if you beat the Lakers' second team?"
"Where's the Clippers? Where's the Suns? Where's the Warriors? Morant really thinks he can win the championship?"
"Morant was like a clown. His speech made all the fans in the league laugh."
"I'm very much looking forward to the Grizzlies' next games, especially the game against the Lakers."
"In fact, the Warriors can kill the Grizzlies without the Lakers taking action."
There is no doubt that Morant's words brought some waves to the silent league and caused a war of words among many fans.
The alliance is actually happy to see this situation come to fruition, because it not only does not discredit the alliance, but also adds heat to the alliance and attracts a lot of attention.
But Su Tian had no reaction after hearing the news. He just smiled and said nothing.
Su Tian's goal is very clear, which is to win the championship. The Grizzlies have never been an obstacle to the Lakers' championship, so they don't want to worry too much.
On January 1, the Lakers started their road trip. The first game was against the Kings away from home. The Lakers won 13-125.
On January 1, the Lakers played against the Nuggets away from home. In order to test the depth of the Nuggets, Walton played the entire main lineup.
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers' momentum was still very strong and they immediately took the lead.
But then the Nuggets began to counterattack in the second quarter. First, taking advantage of the absence of Big Eyebrow, Jokic scored consecutively under the basket.
When the Lakers shifted their defensive focus to Jokic, Teacher Jokic began to use his passing assists to continuously help his teammates score.
I have to say that Jokic is indeed relatively versatile, with skills at the basket, passing skills, and even a very threatening three-pointer.
So in the second quarter, the Nuggets directly completed the lead and even led the Lakers by 7 points with a backhand.
In the second half, the Lakers' main force came out. Su Tian relied on pick-and-roll cooperation with Nongmei to score continuously, and finally recovered the score.
But in the second half of the third quarter, when Su Tian and Nongmei took a rest as usual, the Nuggets began to "stagger travel" again.
But fortunately, George was more impressive in this half of the quarter. He first hit a three-pointer, and then broke through the basket with the ball and caused damage.
After attracting the Nuggets' defensive attention, he began to lead the Lakers to break through and distribute the ball, in which Brunson also contributed a lot.
So at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still maintained their lead, although the lead was only 3 points.
In the fourth quarter, Su Tian and Nongmei once again led the team on the court. For the Nuggets, Jokic took a break and Murray led the team.
Murray knew that Su Tian would go to the third position in the fourth quarter, so Murray on the back line directly started offensive output and assumed the team's offensive responsibilities.
The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Nuggets. Murray advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Alvarado's defense, he first protected the ball with his back, and then called on his teammates to step forward in a pick-and-roll. .
With the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll, Murray completed the breakthrough with a cross step.
Smoothly breaking through to the inside, Murray went straight for a layup. The thick eyebrow saw the right moment and stepped forward to block the shot to help defend. However, he did not expect that Murray made a lever action, avoided the thick eyebrow blocking the shot, and shot for another layup.
boom--
Swah——
Basketball hits the board into the net.
The point difference returned to 1 points.
The Nuggets fans at the scene were very excited at this time. They all stood up and shouted loudly to cheer for the home team.
Everyone knows that this is the Lakers with a full lineup. The Lakers with all three Big Three players are completely different from the Lakers with a semi-main lineup. Morant has been boasting about defeating the Lakers' "second team". What if his home team can beat the Lakers' main lineup?
But just when everyone fell into the beautiful fantasy, Su Tian began to exert his strength.
Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball. Instead of calling for thick eyebrows to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, Su Tian first dribbled the ball left and right, and then took a step back and shot a three-pointer.
Swah——
The three-pointer hit directly.
The score difference came directly to 4 points.
The ball changed, and the Nuggets organized another attack, but this time Su Tian successfully predicted the Nuggets' passing route, intercepted the pass halfway, and turned around to initiate a fast break.
Murray and others wanted to step forward to stop him, but they were unable to catch up with Su Tian.
So Su Tian took the lead and came to the front basket and succeeded with a windmill dunk.
The score difference came to 6 points.
At this time, the cheers in the audience have fallen silent. The 6-point difference is more dangerous for the Nuggets, and the Lakers' winning balance has tilted again.
At this time, the Nuggets had to call a timeout. Mike Malone kept writing and drawing on the sidelines with a tactical board. Finally, when the timeout ended, he had to take Jokic up again.
After Jokic came on the field, he obviously felt that he was lacking in physical strength, so Su Tian and Nongmei looked at each other and ran away!
With Su Tian pushing the tempo, the tempo on the court quickly picked up. Both sides were running happily, except for Jokic, who was so tired that he wanted to curse.
Relying on this attrition technique, the Lakers successfully seized the initiative on the court, and the point difference between the two teams began to hover around 8 points.
Two minutes before the end of the game, the Nuggets began to gamble on three points, but the effect was not good. Instead, they gave many opportunities for defensive counterattacks.
At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 119-110.
This game is nothing but joy for Nuggets fans, but for Lakers fans, it is a cold sweat.
After all, this is the entire lineup of the Lakers. Usually when we lose, we can comfort ourselves by saying that we are not the complete Lakers. Now this game is the complete Lakers. If we lose again, there is really no reason.
But fortunately, the Lakers' Big Three were pretty good, and they did not disappoint the Lakers fans and successfully won the game, although the process seemed a bit tortuous.
After winning the game against the Nuggets, Walton once again pursued a rest strategy.
On January 1, the Lakers substitute lineup played against the Jazz and lost 18-95.
On January 1, the Lakers' semi-main lineup played against the Pacers and won 20-111.
These games are considered normal, but the next wave of Eastern Conference road trips will not be that simple.
On January 1, the Lakers played against the Magic away from home. This game was considered a relatively simple game in the Eastern Conference road trip, so Walton played the entire main lineup and used three quarters to determine the victory before replacing the main lineup.
On January 1, the first focus battle came, the Lakers played against the Heat away from home.
Since the Lakers and Heat met in the Finals two years ago, the Heat have always regarded the Lakers as their imaginary enemy, but unfortunately they failed to complete a breakthrough in the Eastern Conference last year.
So this year the Heat are ready to go and are focused on chasing the championship.
Before the game started, Su Tian also took the initiative to say hello to some old friends in the Heat team.
Speaking of which, the Heat have many of Su Tian's old teammates, including Butler, Vincent and Dun Luo.
"Su, we won't be merciful in this game. You'd better show your best." Butler said seriously.
"Haha, Jimmy, let's wait until you force me to be serious first." Su Tian replied with a smile.
The game started soon, and the Heat's starting lineup was Vincent, Butler, Dunro, PJ Tucker, and Adebayor.
The starting lineup for the Lakers is Brunson, Su Tian, Johnson, George, and thick eyebrows.
The Heat changed the starting lineup specifically for the Lakers, allowing Butler to face off against Su Tian.
Su Tian will naturally not be afraid of this challenge. Moreover, Butler's ability cannot pose a threat to him.
Nongmei and Adebayor came to the center circle. Nongmei grabbed the right to attack. Brunson stepped forward to receive the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Brunson glanced at Vincent's defense and didn't take it seriously. He directly stretched out his hand to call for a pick-and-roll with thick eyebrows.
With the help of the pick-and-roll, Brunson burst out and rushed directly to the basket, successfully attracting Adebayor's defense, so Brunson immediately passed the ball to the thick eyebrows who went down the line.
The thick eyebrow caught the ball just one step inside the free throw line, and directly stretched out his hand to shoot.
A mid-range shot from this distance is not a problem at all for thick eyebrows, and the mid-range shot is a reliable hit.
2-0
The ball was transferred and the Heat attacked. Vincent advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Butler.
Butler got the ball and faced Su Tian's defense. He first tried a three-threat test, hoping to mobilize Su Tian's defensive focus.
"Stop being a triple threat, man, you can't shoot, you can't make a shot at all." Su Tian interfered with Butler verbally while defending.
Butler is a very proud person. When he heard Su Tian say this, he felt very unconvinced, so when he saw Su Tian deliberately providing shooting space, he directly shot a three-pointer.
Does Butler have three-point ability? Of course it does, but it's just not accurate enough.
Did Butler shoot this shot with emotion? Definitely.
Butler knew that Su Tian was good at defensive shooting, but he still didn't believe in evil and felt that it wouldn't affect him. In fact, it didn't matter who came.
boom--
The basketball went straight to the ball as expected. His thick eyebrows locked in position, grabbed the rebound, and immediately passed the ball to Su Tian.
Su Tian received the ball and turned around and went straight to the fast break. Butler followed Su Tian and ran to the basket.
Although Butler was slower, Butler continued to provide physical confrontation, and Su Tian's speed inevitably dropped, so Butler could barely keep up.
Su Tian went all the way to the front basket, collected the ball and shot for a layup in three steps.
Butler tried his best to provide interference, but to no avail. Su Tian scored a layup against the defense.
4-0
"Jimmy, can you do it? If you can't, just surrender." Su Tian was angry as he defended himself.
"Su, don't be too happy, the game has just begun."
The ball was once again given to the Heat. This time Butler came to the frontcourt with the ball. After arriving in the frontcourt, he directly called Adebayor to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.
Using the pick-and-roll to initiate a breakthrough, Su Tian responded promptly and followed immediately. (End of chapter)
