NBA Old Age Star System

If we talk about statistics, Thick Eyebrow's statistics are naturally not as good as Su Tian's, but his tactical influence is no less than Su Tian's.

The thick eyebrows can be said to be the Lakers' super defensive line inside. Without the thick eyebrows, the Lakers' inside defensive power has plummeted.

Although Su Tian ensured the team's offense, thick eyebrows still contributed more on the defensive end.

Of course, this does not mean that Su Tian's defense is not good, but that as an insider, Su Tian has an advantage on the defensive end. As an outside line and a defender, Su Tian suffers from the defensive end.

Now at the end of the first half, the Lakers are only leading by 1 point. Compared with the previous two games, this point difference is undoubtedly unqualified.

Walton held a tactical board in the locker room and emphasized the tactics and precautions for the second half of the game.

"We need to strengthen our offensive and defensive quality in the second half. Anthony, you are the key figure in the second half! Pay attention to controlling the number of fouls you commit! Don't give the Warriors another chance!" Walton said with a serious face.

"Okay coach, I'll pay attention."

Wharton turned to look at Su Tian and said, "Su, you are more important. The team needs your offense to score points in the second half. Pay attention to controlling your physical consumption. Your playing time will increase in the third quarter."

"No problem, coach." Su Tian nodded and said.

Then Walton arranged some related tactics and strategies, mainly to limit the Warriors' performance.

The Warriors can't guard against the Lakers' offense, whether it's double-teaming or zone defense or whatever, they definitely can't.

So as long as the Lakers can limit the Warriors' performance on the defensive end, they will be able to quickly widen the point difference.

At the same time, the Warriors' locker room was not idle either.

Cole was writing on the tactical board while also emphasizing the precautions for defending Su Tian.

"Our strategy in the second half remained basically the same. On the defensive end, we still focused on limiting Su Tian's performance. If we don't give him a chance to score, I don't believe he can get 20+ assists in every game!"

"At the same time, on the offensive end, we still have to hit the basket more, continue to cause damage to Anthony, and try to defeat him! As long as Anthony can go down, the Lakers' defense will drop to a level, and that's when we win!"

Cole's eyes were bright and full of expectations for the second half of the game.

Soon the halftime break ended and the third quarter began.

Both teams chose the starting lineup with great understanding.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Lakers. Brunson advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Now is the moment when the score is anxious. Su Tian, ​​as the boss of the team, naturally needs to stand up and stabilize the situation.

After Su Tian got the ball, facing Clay's defense, he stretched out his hand to call for thick eyebrows to come forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, he drove the ball to the basket and was immediately double-teamed by the Warriors.

So Su Tian also immediately passed the ball to Nongmei near the free throw line. Nongmei received the ball and shot directly.

Swah——

The thick eyebrow hit the two-pointer steadily.

Seeing Nongmei making steady shots, Walton on the sidelines also knew that there was nothing wrong with Nongmei's mentality, so he felt relieved.

When Su Tian returned to defense, he high-fived Nongmei to celebrate.

When the ball was transferred, Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball. Instead of passing the ball, he called on his teammates to pick and roll, and headed towards the basket with the ball.

Curry naturally kept in mind Coach Kerr's arrangements, hit the basket more often, and drew thick eyebrow fouls.

But this time, the thick eyebrows took a good position in advance and did not jump at all, giving Curry no chance to cause a foul.

However, although this avoids fouls, it also gives Curry a better shooting environment.

Bang——shua——

Curry hit a rebound.

The score difference between the two teams still failed to widen.

The ball was once again given to the Lakers. This time Su Tian repeated his old trick, still looking for the thick eyebrows to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, but this time the pass was not given to the thick eyebrows, but to George in the bottom corner.

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

Swah——

With the help of Su Tian, ​​George hit an open three-pointer directly.

This time it cannot be said that there is a loophole in the Warriors' defense, but that this is the price that must be paid if they want to double-team Su Tian.

The Warriors attacked again, and this time it was no longer Curry holding the ball to the basket, but Wiggins holding the ball and driving to the basket, while Curry ran without the ball to attract the defense.

Wiggins quickly came to the basket with the ball, found the position of the thick eyebrow, and deliberately leaned towards the thick eyebrow.

The thick eyebrow naturally knows the Warriors' plan, but even so, it cannot stop the Warriors from working with the league to set up a game for the Lakers.

drop--

boom--

Swah——

I have to say that Wiggins was very lucky this time. Not only did he cause a thick eyebrow foul, but he also scored the ball.

This time the thick eyebrows jumped up immediately after the whistle blew, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"I didn't touch him! I promise I didn't commit a foul! I was jumping vertically! I didn't even exceed my own cylinder!" Nong Mei was very excited.

There's nothing I can do if I'm not excited. After all, if this call is true, Nongmei will receive his fourth foul. In other words, Nongmei, who just came on the court not long ago, will have to go off to rest again.

Walton was also very excited on the sidelines, but fortunately the assistant coach around him kept holding Walton back. Even though Walton was very excited, he did not receive a technical foul.

On the court, Su Tian also felt that the referee was too blatant, so he first opened his thick eyebrows and came to the referee's side.

"Mr. Referee, I think the penalty just now was not very accurate. I saw it very clearly. I hope the referee can see it more clearly next time when he makes a penalty."

Su Tian's words were very sincere, but his expression was very serious and full of warning.

At this time, the referee even wanted to call Su Tian a technical foul directly, but after thinking about it, he held back.

But no matter how Nongmei and Walton quarrel, the penalty is certain, so Nongmei can only take off the field to rest again, and Boucher plays again.

Boucher can be regarded as a firefighter in this game, and his playing time has even exceeded that of Nong Mei.

When Su Tian saw Boucher on the court, he stepped forward and patted Boucher on the back and said, "Play well, man. You are very important in this game."

"Okay Su, don't worry." Boucher patted his chest to assure him. Because Boucher is a substitute, he does not play much time during the regular season and has sufficient physical strength, and he takes turns in some games. Boucher can complete the task very well when he is the starter, so both Su Tian and Walton are very interested in Boucher. Quite satisfied with the break.

As for now, we can only catch the duck and put it on the shelves.

Soon the game continued. Wiggins stood on the free throw line and made an extra free throw. After this extra free throw, Wiggins' score also reached 17 points. Su Tian knew that Wiggins was no longer a big threat.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors did not deliberately force the basket to draw fouls, but there is indeed a gap between Boucher and Nongmei, not only the physical gap, but also the gap in consciousness and golf intelligence, including the gap in helping to prevent interference. In terms of timing, Boucher is much worse than thick eyebrows.

Especially in the few rounds after Nongmei came off the field, the gap between the two was very obvious.

So obviously the Warriors didn't deliberately hit the basket, but the Warriors' shooting percentage at the basket still improved a lot.

This caused the scores of the two teams to once again show the same state as in the first quarter. The scores alternately rose and no one could guard the other. The scene was beautiful, but Walton's face became increasingly ugly.

Halfway through the third quarter, there was still no obvious point difference between the two teams, and the Lakers were only leading by 3 points.

At this time, the two teams also made substitution adjustments in a tacit understanding. The Warriors began to accumulate strength for the fourth quarter, taking Curry off and letting Poole and Clay lead the team.

The Lakers also made substitution adjustments, but they only took out George and Brunson, leaving Su Tian on the court, and at the same time bringing the thick eyebrows on the court again.

Because Nongmei was troubled by fouls, his playing time was cut into small pieces. Fortunately, Nongmei himself is not bad in strength and has good adjustment ability. Even so, he can still display good combat effectiveness.

After playing again, with the help of Su Tian, ​​Nongmei still showed the strength of a superstar and succeeded in hitting the basket continuously.

And due to Curry's dismissal, the Warriors' offensive level dropped by a notch, and the point difference between the two teams began to gradually widen.

Within a few rounds, the score difference reached 8 points. At this time, Cole hesitated and called a timeout.

At this time, there were less than 2 minutes left before the end of the third quarter. Walton on the Lakers side directly took Su Tian off the court to rest, preparing for the fourth quarter, and brought on George to cooperate with the thick eyebrows.

The timeout ended and the game continued. Cole on the Warriors still brought Curry to stabilize the situation on the court.

Although there are only more than one point left, which cannot solve too many problems, it can at least bring the point difference back to a safer range.

In the next few rounds, Nongmei struggled to control his movements to avoid fouls, so that his defensive power declined.

In this case, the point difference began to narrow again, and the third quarter was over soon. The Lakers relied on George's three-pointer at the last moment to keep the point difference at 5 points.

"I have to say that the Lakers are really lucky. George was able to hit a three-pointer at the buzzer on the last possession. It was really a fate he didn't deserve."

"The Lakers themselves have to be stronger than the Warriors. What does good luck mean?"

"That's right, if it wasn't for the referee's bias, how could Anthony have committed four fouls!"

"The referees have a problem, the league has a problem! The Warriors have an even bigger problem!"

"The league just wants to cause trouble! It doesn't want the Lakers to continue to win the championship!"

"That's outrageous! This is not pure basketball!"

"It's not originally. The NBA is a business league."

As the fans discussed, it became clear to everyone that this game was unusual, and it was clear that everyone still had a sharp eye.

At this time, beside the benches of the two teams, the head coaches of the two teams were also "writing fast".

"The focus of the Lakers' offense in the fourth quarter is 100% still Su Tian! Andrew! I don't ask you to get many points or data in the fourth quarter, you just need to defend Su Tian with all your heart!"

"Stephen, the team's offense in the fourth quarter still depends on you. You put more energy and physical strength on the offensive end."

Curry and Wiggins on the side both nodded when they heard this.

As Cole laid out his plans one by one, the Warriors gradually became clear about their tactics and priorities in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers were not idle either, and Walton also looked serious.

"Su, you will still lead the team's offense in the fourth quarter. I would like to remind you that the Warriors' defensive focus in the fourth quarter must still be on you. You must pay attention to the proportion of shots and passes."

"Anthony, you have already committed 4 fouls, but in order to ensure the team's defense, you still have to continue playing, so you have to pay attention to protecting yourself!"

"If you are fouled again, I will replace you immediately and bring you up at the last critical moment, so you must control the number of fouls you commit."

After hearing this, Nongmei nodded to express his understanding.

With the arrangements of the two head coaches, the intersection ended soon and the fourth quarter began.

In the fourth quarter, both sides' lineups were very competitive. On the Lakers' side, Su Tian and Nong Mei appeared, while on the Warriors' side, Curry and Wiggins led the team.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Warriors. Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Alvarado's defense, he passed the ball directly to Wiggins and used his off-ball skills to get rid of Alvarado. Valado's Bite.

After continuous off-ball movement and screen cooperation, Curry still ran out of a chance. Wiggins quickly passed the ball to him, but Curry did not directly shoot a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

Because Poole had a better air-cutting opportunity, Curry quickly passed the ball to Poole. Poole received the ball and took three steps directly for a layup.

But when he finally made a layup, he was still interfered by the thick eyebrows who rushed back in time, and the basketball was forged.

Speaking of which, Poole was still young in this shot. He didn't want to commit a thick eyebrow foul, but instead dodged and shot for a layup.

Nongmei collected the rebound and passed the ball directly to Dort. Dort passed the ball to Su Tian again. Su Tian got the ball and turned around to start a fast break.

Su Tian's speed in the fourth quarter was so fast that Wiggins couldn't catch up, so Su Tian easily came to the basket in the frontcourt and succeeded with a simple one-handed dunk.

7 points difference.

The ball was once again given to the Warriors. This time the Warriors were obviously much more cautious. After continuous running, Curry received the ball in the mid-range and made a horse-riding archery throw.

In fact, Curry originally wanted to hit the basket hard to get a thick eyebrow foul, but he was blocked and interfered by Su Tian in the middle. In order not to waste this high-quality offensive opportunity, Curry chose to throw up to avoid being interfered by Su Tian. arrive.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit and the point difference returned to 5 points.

The ball was transferred, and Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball, and as expected faced Wiggins.

Su Tian did not go head-to-head with Wiggins, but called for pick-and-roll cooperation.

The Warriors' approach was also what Su Tian expected. They directly abandoned the thick eyebrows and double-teamed Su Tian. Su Tian hit the ground and passed the ball to the thick eyebrows who were making a pass.

When Nongmei received the ball, the Warriors basket was empty and the defense was extremely empty, so Nongmei dunked with both hands.

The score difference reached 7 points again, and Cole frowned as he looked at the figure with thick eyebrows dunking. (End of chapter)
