NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 478 Stubborn Butler

It seemed that Butler was about to fall into a double-team by the Lakers, but then Butler made a ground pass to Adebayor, who was following the pass.

Adebayor received the ball and went directly to the basket, and made a layup under the interference of his thick eyebrows.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball bounced on the rim and finally fell into the net.

4-2

Su Tian glanced at Adebayor, but he didn't expect that Adebayor had grown so fast and was now able to stand alone.

The ball was transferred and the Lakers attacked again. This time Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, still facing Butler's defense.

This time, Su Tian reached out and called on Nongmei to come forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to initiate a breakthrough. However, halfway through the breakthrough, he passed the ball to George who ran out of the three-point line and ran into the open space.

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

Swah——

Three point hit.

The Lakers' three giants still cooperate very well.

In the next few rounds, the two teams' drama basically focused on Butler and Su Tian.

The two controlled the team's ball and dominated the team's offense. In the end, it turned out that Su Tian was better. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Heat by 6 points.

In the second quarter, both sides began to make substitution adjustments. Su Tian came off the court to rest, and George led half of the main lineup.

Butler also took a rest on the Heat's side, and Vincent and Adebayor were on hand to lead the team.

Su Tian himself thought that this half of the game would be a show for George and Adebayor, but he did not expect that after the game started, all the limelight was taken away by Brunson and Vincent.

Whether it is Brunson or Vincent, both of them have grown faster and more comprehensively than they have in history because of the Lakers, and their combat effectiveness at this time is far beyond what they have historically been.

It was Vincent who took the lead. In fact, Vincent and Brunson didn't like each other in the first quarter, but at that time the ball was concentrated in the hands of the stars on both sides, and neither of them had any control. What can I say.

Now that all the leading stars have taken a break, the two of them have naturally taken on the team's organizational and offensive tasks.

Of course, Brunson has George here, who can share a lot of organizational pressure.

Vincent first went to the basket with the ball in several consecutive rounds. Although he did not hit all of them, he completed a breakthrough against Brunson's defense every time.

This made Brunson look very unhappy, so he immediately responded and continued to hold the ball to break through Vincent's defense.

Although both of them have high offense and low defense, Brunson is superior in all abilities, and Brunson's passing and assisting ability is obviously better than Vincent.

Coupled with the help of George on the Lakers' side, the score difference between the two teams soon reached 10 points. During this period, Spoelstra called a timeout to make adjustments, but it still failed to prevent the score difference from widening.

In the end, it was Spoelstra who returned Butler to the court early, which stabilized the point difference and formed a stalemate.

Just a few minutes after Butler came on the court and stabilized the situation on the court, the game was already halfway through the second quarter, and the Lakers made substitution adjustments.

Su Tian and Nongmei came on stage again.

After Su Tian came on the court, he played against Butler again, and the score difference that had been stable on the court began to widen again.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers led the Heat by 12 points.

At the end of the first half, the two sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game.

On the Heat's side, Spoelstra is holding a tactical board and writing and drawing constantly. He keeps moving his hands and talking.

"In the second half, we have to strengthen our defense against Su. We must guard and defend. Or we must cut off the connection between the Lakers trio and try to let them fight alone."

"Jimmy, you will still be responsible for the main defense in the second half. At present, you are the only one in our team who can play against us."

Butler nodded and said, "Good coach."

Immediately afterwards, Spoelstra arranged several related tactics. The morale of the Heat team was all online, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.

At the same time, the Lakers were not idle. Walton also arranged tactics for the second half of the game, but compared to Spoelstra, Walton's job was easier.

"In the second half, we still followed our original tactical layout. We don't need to make any major adjustments. Jimmy has not changed much from before. Su, you can just grasp this yourself."

Su Tian nodded to express his understanding.

Compared with the Heat, the Lakers still have a very obvious advantage. Walton does not need to make too many adjustments. If there are any problems on the court, just leave the problem to the stars to solve it themselves.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, the two sides once again took on the starting lineup and once again started a head-to-head confrontation.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Heat. Vincent advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Instead of passing the ball directly to Butler, he reached out and called Adebayor for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Vincent initiated a breakthrough. Before the help of thick eyebrows came up, Vincent passed the ball to Dun Luo outside the three-point line.

Dun Luo has been closely followed by Johnson in this game and has never performed well. This time he finally caught the opportunity and shot a three-pointer directly after receiving the ball.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

The ball was transferred, Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Brunson passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Butler's defense. He first tried a triple threat, then completed a crossover and rushed to the basket.

Butler hurriedly turned around to pursue, but just as Butler changed his focus to catch up, Su Tian took another step back and returned to the three-point line.

At this time, Butler had not had time to change his focus, and Su Tian had plenty of room to take action.

So Su Tian directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

The Heat had just hit a three-pointer to bring the point difference to single digits, and Su Tian immediately returned the favor.

The ball was given to the Heat again, and Butler advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Su Tian's defense, Butler chose to call a pick-and-roll.

But this time with the help of the pick-and-roll, Butler did not complete the breakthrough. Su Tian went around the pick-and-roll too quickly, and Butler did not have time to complete the start.

So in desperation, Butler had to pass the ball to Vincent, signaling Vincent to reorganize the attack.

In the end, Vincent broke through with the ball and came to the free throw line, stopped for a jump shot.

boom--

But unfortunately, under Brunson's interference, Vincent shot the iron.

The thick eyebrow turned around to collect the rebound and quickly passed the ball to George. George passed the ball again to the running Su Tian.

Su Tian took the lead and ran ahead of everyone. There was no one around him, and Butler was still chasing him two steps behind. But Su Tian was so fast that Butler couldn't catch up. After reaching the basket in the frontcourt, Su Tian saw the right moment and succeeded with a one-handed dunk.

The score difference came to 14 points.

In the next few rounds, the Heat tried to organize counterattacks many times, but were suppressed by the Big Three of the Lakers.

It was not until halfway through the third quarter that Su Tian and Nong Mei took a break again.

At this time, the point difference between the two teams still remained at double digits, and Spoelstra took advantage of the timeout to find Butler.

"Jimmy, the second half of the quarter is our opportunity, so don't get off the field first. We will seize this opportunity and try to catch up with the score."

Although Butler was sweating profusely at this time, he still nodded.

"Good coach."

There is no doubt that Butler is a tough guy. After the game started again, Butler continued to play according to the coach's arrangements.

However, although Butler is a tough guy, it is a mental attribute and cannot improve his own strength. In competitive sports, to put it bluntly, strength is respected.

In the second half of the quarter, the Lakers were led by George, and Su Tian was not afraid of any problems at all. On the Heat's side, although they wanted to chase points, Butler suffered a serious loss of physical strength and could not display his full strength. The momentum of chasing points is also average.

So at the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams remained at 10 points, still in double digits.

At this time, Butler was so tired that he began to breathe heavily.

"At the end of the first three quarters, the Heat are still 10 points behind. It seems that the Heat are in danger in this game."

"The Lakers' dominance is still so strong, there is no decline at all, and I don't know why the Lakers' record is so poor."

"Actually, the Lakers did this on purpose. They rested too frequently before."

"The Lakers do have intentional intentions, but they also want to protect the health of the main players."

"George is not young anymore. He has thick eyebrows and is often injured when playing against big players in the inside. It will definitely not work with just one Su to support him."

"Yes, taking turns is normal and necessary."

At this time, there was also a heated discussion on the benches of the two teams.

"Su, the team's possession of the ball in the fourth quarter is still with you. You are responsible for controlling the direction of the team. Anthony, please pay attention to the scale of confrontation and protect yourself. And you have already committed three fouls. Be careful when defending against you." foul."

Su Tian and Nong Mei both nodded when they heard this.

On the Heat's side, Spoelstra is also making his final struggle.

"Jimmy, please take a break first, but you only have two minutes to rest. After the opening two minutes, you have to continue playing."

Butler wanted to refuse and just play directly, but the physical fatigue stopped this idea.

In the end Butler just nodded.

Soon the intersection ended and the fourth quarter began.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers naturally fielded the combination of Su Tian and Thick Eyebrow, while the Heat used the entire starting lineup except Butler.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Lakers. Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Tucker's defense, Su Tian chose to use speed and explosion as a breakthrough.

Tucker was naturally no match for Su Tian. Even after Su Tian changed directions twice in a row, Tucker could no longer determine Su Tian's direction.

So Su Tian took the opportunity to make a breakthrough and came to the free throw line, stopped directly and took a jump shot.

Swah——

The mid-range shot was a solid hit.

Su Tian's mid-range shot has exceeded the limit and reached 101. Faced with such open opportunities, he can basically hit every shot.

Even with some minor interference, Su Tian can guarantee a good hit rate.

The ball was transferred, and Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Alvarado's defense, Vincent wanted to win with speed, but he did not expect that Alvarado's defense was very online, giving him an extremely tough confrontation. .

In desperation, Vincent had to pass the ball to Adebayor, and the team cooperated tactically.

After a period of tactical movement and passing, the basketball was given to Dun Luo, who was cutting to the basket. Dun Luo caught the ball and went straight to the basket for a layup.

The thick eyebrow defense did not allow Dun Luo to succeed in time, but it was not a big problem. The Lakers were already in the lead and they just needed to get it back on the offensive end.

Su Tian once again came to the frontcourt with the ball. This time Su Tian called for a pick-and-roll with thick eyebrows, and directly completed the breakthrough with the help of the pick-and-roll, but he was double-teamed at the moment of the breakthrough.

So Su Tian passed the ball to Nongmei who was following him. Nongmei received the ball and went straight to the basket. Although Adebayor could keep up with Nongmei in terms of speed, he was not as good as Nongmei in confrontation. He was directly pushed away by Nongmei. After getting under the basket, the thick eyebrows dunked directly with both hands.

Looking at Nongmei's dunk, Su Tian even felt that Nongmei didn't need any pick-and-roll cooperation, he could just get stuck under the basket to catch the ball and hit hard.

Of course, this is just Su Tian's imagination. The pick-and-roll is still necessary for thick eyebrows, which can reduce unnecessary physical confrontation and allow farmers to maintain effective physical strength and health.

At this time, Spoelstra looked at the time on the sidelines and felt that it was almost time. He called Butler to his side and arranged for Butler to play.

Soon taking advantage of a dead ball, Butler came on the court.

The Heat also got their entire starting lineup.

With the entire starting lineup, the Heat directly started the decisive battle mode, but at this time the Lakers still had a semi-main lineup.

As soon as Butler came on the court, he wanted to hit one with the ball, but Su Tian quickly intercepted it.

After stealing the ball, Su Tian also took advantage of the situation to launch a defensive counterattack and succeeded in a fast break.

Butler also knew that his current condition was not good, so he changed his strategy and began to pass and assist his teammates.

But apart from Butler, the Heat have no other teammates that are reliable enough. Whether it is Vincent or Adebayor, their physical strength has been severely exhausted at this time, and they are simply not enough to compete with the Lakers' Su Tian.

As a result, the point difference remained at around 14 points until halfway through the fourth quarter, when Walton replaced the entire main lineup.

After taking the entire main lineup, the Lakers entered the decisive harvest mode. Su Tian no longer pretended, and directly showed his strongest form, constantly holding the ball and hitting hard.

The score difference quickly widened.

Two minutes before the end of the game, Spoelstra finally took down the entire main lineup, took the bench, and completely surrendered.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Heat 122-103.

After the game, Su Tian came to the technical stage and hugged Butler goodbye.

"Man, see you in the finals this season!" Butler said very seriously.

"Hahaha Jimmy, you should break through the Eastern region first. The Eastern region is not as simple as you think." Su Tian said with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have the confidence."

"That's good, then we'll see you in the finals." (End of Chapter)
