NBA Old Age Star System

At this time, the game was halfway through the fourth quarter, but the point difference was still hovering around 8 points, and the Warriors' momentum to chase points was getting weaker and weaker.

Walton reached out and called a timeout, using the timeout to make substitutions and adjust tactics.

"The Warriors are now showing signs of weakness. What we need to do is to continue to curb the Warriors' momentum of chasing points, continue to maintain the point difference, and kill the Warriors' hope of chasing points!"

The three people from Su Tian and others on the side listened and nodded in agreement.

At this time, Cole also wanted to take the opportunity to adjust his tactics, but when he thought that the Lakers would take the entire main lineup, Cole felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Stephen, the team can only rely on you to save it now. I will arrange all tactics to assist you, but whether you can win this game depends on your own performance."

Curry also knows that what Cole can do is very limited, and it is already very good that he can still come up with corresponding tactical arrangements.

"Okay coach, don't worry, I will lead the team to win."

The thin Curry has extremely determined eyes.

The timeout soon ended and the two teams took the field again.

The Lakers also unsurprisingly took on the entire starting lineup, and the Warriors naturally followed suit.

After returning to the field, Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball. Wiggins was still defending, but Su Tian did not hold the ball and hit hard. Instead, he gave the ball to George and became without the ball.

Immediately afterwards, Su Tian continued to run without the ball, and with the help of teammates' cover, he quickly got rid of Wiggins, who was following the defense. George immediately passed the ball to Su Tian. When Su Tian received the ball, although there were already people coming to cover. , but Su Tian's shot was faster.

Swah——

Su Tian hit a three-pointer directly.

Cole on the sidelines stood up when he saw Su Tian scored.

"Follow closely! Don't give him a chance! Don't give him a chance!"

In Cole's view, the Lakers have reached their limit and have to let Su Tianlai score.

But in fact, Su Tian simply wanted to score a goal and attract the Warriors' defensive attention.

The ball was once again given to the Warriors. Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball. At this time, the Warriors were in the starting lineup. Su Tian naturally followed Klay, but Klay still couldn't escape from Su Tian's grasp. The Warriors can rely on Still only Curry.

This time Curry faced Brunson's defense and called Green to cooperate with the pick-and-roll. He tried to break through with the help of the pick-and-roll, but the Lakers switched defense in time and did not give him a chance. However, Curry also got a small chance to face George.

Continuous dribbling left and right mobilized George's defensive focus, followed by a breakthrough, and then suddenly retreated to the three-point line and shot directly from the three-point line.

Swah——

The three-pointer hit was offset by Su Tian's previous three-pointer.

This three-pointer was like timely rain, allowing Cole to temporarily calm down on the sidelines.

But in the next few rounds, Cole got the upper hand again.

Su Tian, ​​who had already received 22 assists, once again passed the ball to assist Thick Eyebrow to score from the inside.

Originally, Nongmei could have adjusted this ball before shooting it, and the hit rate could have been higher, but this would not count as an assist from Su Tian. Therefore, in order to let Su Tian break the assist record, Nongmei just forced it as soon as he got the ball. Take action.

Fortunately, the ball was a lucky hit.

Su Tian's assist count came to 23.

Turning around, the Warriors also wanted to score another goal and continue their offense, but they were still interfered with when they finally took the shot, and the basketball was in trouble.

The thick eyebrow turned around to collect the rebound and passed the ball directly to George. George passed the ball to Su Tian again. Su Tian took the ball for a fast break. When he came to the basket, he did not go straight for a layup, but threw the ball behind him. stand up.

At this time, Johnson, who was following behind Su Tian, ​​jumped high, caught the ball in the air and dunked with both hands.

Su Tian succeeded in assisting again, and the number of assists came to 24! Officially tied the NBA's historical playoff assist record.

After this assist, the Staples venue immediately burst into cheers, and everyone stood up and applauded Su Tian.

Su Tian also happily waved and interacted with the fans in the audience. At the same time, Cole also called a timeout. At this time, the Lakers were very energetic and needed to calm down.

"Guys! Don't be fooled by the scene at this moment! Su will definitely strengthen his offense next, so our tactics remain unchanged! We will still double-team Su resolutely!"

As Cole's orders continued, everyone in the Warriors gradually stabilized their emotions. At the same time, they also clarified the focus of the next defense and stabilized the morale of the military.

The Lakers did not take advantage of the timeout to deploy tactics, but took advantage of the timeout to celebrate Su Tian. Su Tian was also very happy to interact with the fans on the sidelines.

At this time, there are still 3 minutes left before the end of the game. It is very possible for Su Tian to break this record.

The timeout soon ended and the game continued.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors began to work hard to chase points, but the point difference never changed much.

As for the Lakers, the defensive pressure from double-teaming that Su Tian faced was not less, but actually increased. This undoubtedly gave Su Tian a better opportunity to break the record.

The opportunity came soon. One minute before the end of the game, the Warriors already felt hopeless in chasing points and wanted to withdraw their main force and surrender, but Cole still wanted everyone to persist.

So the main force could only continue to stay on the court reluctantly.

It was this reluctance that gave Su Tian the opportunity to break the record.

Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball. George on the right was ready to move outside the three-point line. While Green's attention was on Su Tian, ​​George cut directly to the basket.

Su Tian had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly passed the ball to George who was cutting through the air. George received the ball and quickly came to the basket and shot directly for a layup.

Swah——

The basketball was easily hit, and Su Tian's assists reached 25! Breaking the single-game assists record in the playoffs!

At this time, Wharton directly called a timeout, giving enough time for the audience and Su Tian to enjoy this moment.

At the same time, Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box were also discussing the matter intensely.

"It's incredible. I didn't expect that Su could break this long-standing record!" Barkley exclaimed.

"Although the rounds of modern basketball have increased, it is still very difficult to break this record. It can be said that the right time and place are indispensable." Kenny Smith said. Obviously Kenny Smith believes that Su Tian's record breaking has a certain amount of luck, which is natural.

Su Tian himself is very good at assists, and he has continued to lead the league in assists. Coupled with the fact that Cole double-teamed Su Tian in this game, this also gave Su Tian a very good assist environment and opportunity. If Cole changes his mind midway and stops double-teaming, then this record will basically miss Su Tian.

After getting this record, there was only 1 minute left in the game, but the point difference was still 7 points, so Walton also took advantage of the timeout to directly make substitution adjustments, taking down all the main players and replacing them on the bench.

When Cole saw Walton's operation, he shook his head helplessly. Cole also knew that there was no chance, so he also changed the main lineup and surrendered.

At the end of the game, the Lakers unexpectedly won the game with a big score of 2-0. Of course, this is not the biggest news. The biggest news is Su Tian's 25 assists!

Su Tian's statistics for the game were 18 points, 25 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 steals. This was one of the few games in which Su Tian did not score 20 points. From this aspect, Cole was successful.

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

"Su, your performance today is really amazing, but I have to say that you have great teammates." Curry's words were full of envy and jealousy.

"Hahaha Stephen, this is the game, or this is the competition. Your lineup back then was the only one in the league!" Su Tian responded with a smile.

Curry nodded sheepishly and smiled: "It's true. I'm not rational enough. The series is not over yet, and our game is not over yet."

Su Tian naturally knew that the game was not over yet, but the game Su Tian was talking about was not a game with the Warriors, but a game with the Warriors + referees.

These two games were played at the Lakers' home court, and the referees were already obviously biased. Su Tian couldn't imagine how rampant the referees would be if they were played at the Warriors' home court.

So the game Su Tian was talking about was exactly this game.

After bidding farewell to the Warriors as usual, Su Tian followed Walton for an interview. This was also a normal process, but Su Tian really made a big news today, so many reporters stood on the sidelines and couldn't wait.

Seeing Su Tian walking towards the players' tunnel, many reporters couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to pounce directly on Su Tian.

It can be said that the scene was in a panic, and the staff had to come out to maintain order. After the order was stabilized, Su Tian also followed the staff to guide reporters to the scene for interviews.

After arriving at the interview site, as soon as Su Tian sat down, the reporters below began to ask questions impatiently.

"Hello Su, first of all, congratulations on breaking the single-game record for assists in the playoffs. What do you think of this matter? How are you feeling now?"

Su Tian picked up the microphone and said calmly: "I'm not interested in data. Data is just a by-product of my winning."

Su Tian paused for a moment, then smiled again and said, "Okay, I was just joking. I still care about the data."

The reporter below was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.

"Well, I'm very happy about this matter. I'm honored to be able to break such a record and have my name engraved in the history of the NBA. And both Johnson and Stockton are players I admire more. I am very happy to achieve this.”

Seeing Su Tian answering questions normally, the reporters below also returned to normal.

"Hello Su, we have observed that the Warriors have been using double teams to target you in this game. Will this help you break the record?"

Su Tian nodded in response without hesitation: "Of course. It was Coach Cole's strategy that allowed me to get so many opportunities to pass and assist. He is half of the credit for me breaking the record."

It has to be said that Su Tian's words can be said to be heart-wrenching, not giving Cole any way to survive. You can even imagine how Warriors fans will angrily criticize Cole.

This is also a little bit of Su Tian's caution. After all, it is the playoffs, and it is normal to use various methods.

"Su, the Lakers are currently leading 2-0. Will the Lakers continue the 4-0 tradition?"

"I don't know about this. The Lakers' record of being undefeated in the playoffs will eventually be broken. It's just a matter of sooner or later. So I don't really care. All I care about is the championship."

After dealing with several more questions, these reporters still refused to leave, so Su Tian could only unilaterally announce that the interview was over. Su Tian still needed to rush back to rest and prepare for the next scene.

After Su Tian returned, the media and reporters outside began to show their strength. News about Su Tian breaking the single-game assist record in the playoffs were continuously reported.

"Su Tian assists 25 in a single game!" Break the playoff record! 》

"25 assists attack to defeat the Warriors!" 》

"25 assists breaks a 25-year-old record!" 》

"The real king of assists!" Well-deserved Su Tian! 》

"How difficult is it to get 20+ assists in the playoffs?" Only these people did it! 》

"Where is Su Tian's upper limit!" He is more versatile than Jordan! 》

As the news unfolds, Su Tian's 25 assists in the playoffs are still fermenting. The team behind Su Tian is also working hard, and Su Tian's image is getting bigger and bigger.

The day after the Lakers and Warriors game ended, Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals began.

Logically speaking, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals is still very important. After all, it was 1-1 before, and the two teams have no obvious advantage. Whoever wins the third game first will have the advantage.

But because Su Tian's popularity was too high at this time, the discussion about the Eastern Conference Finals plummeted, while the discussion about Su Tian skyrocketed.

But Su Tian himself had no such idea, so he turned on the TV to watch the Eastern Conference Finals game.

There is still no big problem for the Lakers to enter the finals. Although the Warriors are difficult to deal with, they are just difficult to deal with.

But the Lakers' opponents in the Finals are confusing, and it's not easy to tell which team they are.

"Su, which team do you want to enter the finals?" George asked from the side.

"I hope the Heat can enter, because I want to torture Jimmy again, hahaha." Su Tian said with a smile.

This game is quite important, so Su Tian invited George to watch it together.

"Hahaha, since you said so, I suddenly want this, so let's go to the Heat. I hope Jimmy can give us some help and not let us down." George said.

Su Tian turned around and looked at the Heat's lineup. He had to say that there were indeed many old friends in the Heat.

Starting lineup: Vincent, Nunn, Butler, Tucker, Adebayo.

There are also Hiero, Dunro, Oladipo and others on the bench. (End of chapter)
