NBA Old Age Star System

The starting lineup for the Bucks is: Holiday, Allen, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Lopez.

Soon the game started, and Adebayor took the lead to seize the right to attack. Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Butler.

Butler faced Middleton's defense. He didn't call for a pick-and-roll and directly took the ball to initiate a breakthrough.

In fact, Butler still took advantage because Middleton was injured in the semifinals and is now playing injured.

After Butler broke out, he rushed directly to the basket. Middleton wanted to chase, but was unable to do so. After reaching the basket, he encountered Lopez's defensive double-team, so he immediately passed the ball to Adebayor.

Adebayor received the ball and dunked directly with both hands.

2-0

The Heat took the lead in scoring the first point at the start.

The ball was transferred, and Holiday came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo got the ball and faced Tucker.

Speaking of which, Tucker also stayed in the Bucks and was teammates with Antetokounmpo, but later went to the Heat.

Antetokounmpo naturally has a physical advantage when facing Tucker. He directly stretches his long legs and rushes to the basket with the ball. Tucker can only follow Antetokounmpo closely to help defend and interfere.

When Antetokounmpo came to the basket in the frontcourt, he took a layup while resisting Tucker's interference and Adebayor's help.

Bang——shua——

The basketball still fell into the net.

2-2

The two teams refused to give in to each other from the beginning, and in the next few rounds, other main players of the two teams also began to exert their strength.

Vincent held the ball and used his speed to get a layup. Middleton turned around and responded with a three-pointer.

The battle for the inside line is not easy either. Lopez himself has certain singles ability in the low post, and now he is facing an inside line like Adebayor who lacks lower body strength. Naturally, it will be smooth sailing.

And Adebayor is not easily restricted. Adebayor uses his flexibility and mid-range shooting ability to avoid Lopez. Although he seems to be weak, his efficiency is not bad.

Soon the first quarter was over, 31-28, and the Bucks temporarily took the lead.

The Bucks are more talented than the Heat, and it is normal for them to take the lead and have the upper hand in the first quarter.

"The Heat are going to start to show their strength in the second quarter." Su Tian murmured to himself.

Soon the time came to the second quarter, and the Heat did not live up to Su Tian's expectations. They launched continuous defensive counterattacks and quickly smoothed the point difference, and even directly completed the lead.

On the Bucks' side, Budenholzer immediately reached out and called a timeout, trying to suppress the Heat's momentum.

Taking advantage of the timeout, the two teams also made substitution adjustments, and the Bucks brought out Antetokounmpo to stabilize the situation.

After Antetokounmpo came on, the Bucks quickly stabilized and regained the lead.

But this is not entirely due to Antetokounmpo, because the Heat's defense against Antetokounmpo is still very good, and Antetokounmpo did not perform too explosively on the offensive end.

As a result, the two teams fell into a stalemate in the second quarter, with the scores taking the lead alternately. No one knew who would take the lead in the next second.

At the end of the second quarter, the two teams were tied at 60-60.

"Su, who do you think can win this game?" George asked casually.

"In this game, we still can't see who has a clear lead between the two teams. I wouldn't guess that this game will be won by the Bucks, because the first half has never been the Heat's winning rhythm."

Although Su Tian really wants the Heat to win, the Bucks are indeed more likely to win this game.

George just nodded after hearing this.

George actually doesn't care who can win or who can enter the finals, because both teams are defeated by the Lakers. No matter who enters the finals, the Lakers have a psychological advantage.

Soon after the second half of the game began, Su Tian observed that the Bucks' offense became sharper, while the Heat were forced to strengthen their defense.

The adjustment strategies of the two teams are different, but the ultimate goal is the same.

As time went by, the point difference between the two teams began to slowly emerge. The Bucks still took the lead. Although it was not much, the Heat's own scoring power was not strong.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bucks had the upper hand with a 5-point lead.

In the fourth quarter, the Heat organized a wave of chasing points, hoping to overtake the score in a wave, but unfortunately, although Antetokounmpo did not shoot well, his defense was still very good, and he was also the best defensive player level.

Therefore, the Heat's plan to chase points in the fourth quarter was in vain.

And the highly anticipated Butler did not turn the tide and become the savior in the fourth quarter.

At the end of the game, 116-112, the Bucks won the game with a 4-point advantage.

The big score in the Eastern Conference Finals is 2-1, and the Bucks are temporarily leading. If the Bucks win the next game, this series can be declared over.

It's just that although this game is important, it is not exciting, so it does not attract the attention of many fans.

And more fans' attention is being attracted by the record-breaking Western Conference Finals.

On May 5, the Lakers and Warriors moved to Chase Center to start the third game of the Western Conference Finals series.

The third game looked no different from the first two games. It was still the same starting lineup, and neither team made adjustments.

But the fans at the scene are different, and the referees are different.

Soon the game started, and it was still the thick eyebrows who took the lead, but just when the Lakers were about to start the offense, the referee suddenly blew the whistle, indicating that thick eyebrows had committed a jump ball foul.

So the ball had to be given to the Warriors, and Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Su Tianze thought to himself: "So, this game against the Lakers starts now, right?"

Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Brunson's defense, he passed the ball directly to Wiggins without too much entanglement and directed his teammates to cooperate tactically.

After the Warriors passed the ball continuously, the ball was given to Green outside the three-point line. At this time, Clay and Curry cooperated to get an open opportunity.

When Curry and Clay were running alternately, Su Tian and Brunson looked at each other and directly exchanged defenders.

Su Tian followed Curry, while Brunson followed Clay.

Green reacted very quickly when he saw this and immediately passed the ball to Clay.

Clay received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly against Brunson's defense.

boom--

But it's a pity that the three-pointer was not hit.

In fact, with Clay's height advantage, when facing Brunson, he was still able to shoot directly against the defense.

But what is helpless is that Clay's personal strength has declined seriously. Brunson did not interfere with this goal at all. It was entirely Clay's personal reason.

The rebound was collected by thick eyebrows, and he quickly passed the ball to George. He originally wanted to play a fast break, but when George looked up, the Warriors had completed their retreat and had to fall into a positional battle.

George came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian. Su Tian got the ball and faced Clay's defense, but Wiggins and Green were ready to make a move.

"What, you still don't give up? Still want to double-team?"

In order to test his inner thoughts, Su Tian made continuous cross dribbles to mobilize Clay's defensive focus, and then rushed to the basket with an explosion.

But just when Su Tian's side had just completed a breakthrough, Wiggins instantly came in front of Su Tian and double-teamed him.

Su Tian, ​​who was well prepared, didn't panic at all and passed the ball directly to Johnson who was left open.

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

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

3-0

Even if the league punished the Lakers for a foul at the beginning, even if the first round belonged to the Warriors, Su Tian was still able to use his own strength to score the first point of the game.

The ball was transferred, and Curry once again took the ball to the frontcourt. This time, Curry did not pass the ball to his teammates, but called Rooney to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Curry holds the ball and goes to the basket. The thick eyebrow has already been prepared in the interior. When Curry collects the ball and takes off, the thick eyebrow sees the right time and takes off at the same time as Curry.

Curry had no way to deal with the thick eyebrows that blocked the sky, but he still leaned on his thick eyebrows and managed a layup.

boom--

drop--

The sound of basketball striking and the whistle sounded at the same time.

The referee stretched out his hand to indicate a foul to the thick-browed thug.

The thick-browed man held his head in his hands, his eyes widened, and he immediately stepped forward to argue with the referee.

"Mr. Referee, I promise I didn't touch him just now! Our arms didn't even touch each other!"

But no matter what Nongmei said, the referee just shook his head without saying anything.

When Su Tian saw this, he knew what was going on, so he stepped forward and pulled his thick eyebrows back.

"Anthony, calm down! They did this on purpose, so be careful to control your emotions."

Following Su Tian's advice, Nongmei gradually calmed down.

"Okay Su, I'm fine. I just want to put some pressure on the referee, otherwise I will get another foul at the beginning of the game."

"What you said makes sense, just control your emotions."

At this time Curry had already stood on the free throw line and made two free throws.

3-2

The ball was given to the Lakers. Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Curry's defense, he stepped forward to pick and roll, and with the help of the pick and roll, he broke through with the ball.

But just as Brunson started, the referee blew the whistle again and reached out to signal the thick eyebrow to cover the foul.

"What the hell? Screening foul?! What do you think? Will you make the penalty?"

Walton stood up directly on the sidelines and yelled at the referee.

The assistant coach on the side immediately stepped forward and stopped Walton. The referee in this game was obviously abnormal. If Walton was given another technical foul, it would not be worth it.

At this time, the thick eyebrows spread out their hands with an expression of disbelief, and even laughed after reacting.

At this time, Su Tian on the side also frowned, mainly because Nongmei had already committed two fouls and had to go off the court to protect him.

So Walton called a timeout and made substitution adjustments.

"This is too blatant for the Alliance!"

"The league did this on purpose, right? Aren't the referees afraid of being drowned by Lakers fans when they do this?"

"What is this going to do? Is the league going to interfere in the game again?"

"Is there a possibility that we fans are not blind! We can tell whether there is a foul or not!"

"It's so obvious that as a Warriors fan I can't stand it."

Obviously, the fans on the field could see the league's bias, and the referee's behavior was too obvious.

The timeout soon ended and both sides took the field again.

The Lakers naturally made substitution adjustments. Big Eyebrow had to take a rest and Boucher came on as a substitute.

After Big Eyebrow left the game, the Lakers' interior defensive strength plummeted, and the Warriors began to make a fuss about this, continuously holding the ball to the basket and causing damage.

Su Tian saw that the referee in this game was so arrogant, so he used all his strength and directly started a battle with the Warriors.

I have to say that the league is very good at playing these trade-offs. They did not make a fuss about Su Tian. Instead, they still gave Su Tian super treatment, but they trimmed his thick eyebrows, weakened the Lakers' defensive power, and forced the Lakers to fall into a confrontation. The battle greatly increased the excitement on the field.

However, although Nongmei was off the court, Su Tian ensured the team's offense and the Lakers still took the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, 35-31, the Lakers temporarily led by 4 points.

"The Lakers are in danger this time. Davis is troubled by fouls. Su Tian has to work early. This is a big challenge for the physical reserves later. I wonder if Su Tian can still be the king of the final quarter in the fourth quarter. gesture," Kenny Smith said.

"Indeed, this game is an opportunity for the Warriors. As long as this game can be won, there will be a chance for this series. Even breaking the Lakers' unbeaten record in the playoffs will boost morale and pursue victory!" Buckley said.

The two commentators also knew the league's operations very well, so they both had a tacit understanding and did not discuss whether the penalty was fair. Instead, they focused on the outcome of the game.

During the break, both Cole and Walton realized how extraordinary this game was.

"This game is our opportunity! Don't be afraid of confrontation, just fight inside! Go and cause damage!" Cole said.

Walton, the other half, said: "Everyone should control their fouls on the defensive end, but we still have to do our best on the offensive end! The ultimate winner of the game will still be us!"

Soon the second quarter started, and both sides made substitution adjustments. For the Lakers, Su Tian came down to rest, and Brunson and Nongmei led the team.

Nong Mei was holding back his anger off the court, and as soon as he came on the court, he wanted to hit two to vent his anger.

The thick eyebrows were indeed very strong in the first two rounds, scoring consecutively in the paint.

But after a few rounds, the Warriors began to attack the basket frequently, and the thick eyebrows had to protect themselves, so that the defensive actions became very restrained.

So under this situation, the scores of the two teams increased alternately, the Lakers failed to show a clear advantage, and the 4-point difference was quickly smoothed out.

Halfway through the second quarter, Su Tian and George came on the court again, and Nongmei came off the court to rest.

The two teams once again returned to the offensive state of the first quarter. The scene was very beautiful, but Walton's face became increasingly ugly.

At the end of the second quarter, the score reached 66-65, and the Lakers temporarily led by 1 point. (End of chapter)
