NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 500: The finals begin, sad thick eyebrows

After all the hard work, the Heat finally won the Eastern Conference Finals, but they only got a chance to play against the Lakers.

After the Eastern Conference Finals, both teams fell into a period of silence, all preparing for the upcoming finals.

The external publicity and momentum for the finals have already begun.

"The Lakers advance to the Finals for four times!" On track to create four consecutive championships! ! 》

"The league's real finale and ultimate answer--the Lakers!" 》

"Which team do you prefer to win the championship?" 》

"Old teammates become old rivals, detailing the love and hate between the Heat and the Lakers"

"Su's Journey to the Gods—Four Consecutive Championships!" 》

While the outside world was making noise, both teams kept a very low profile and silently rehearsed their tactics.

The pressure on the Lakers is much easier in comparison, because the two teams have played against each other in the finals before, and the Lakers swept them 4-0, so the Lakers have an absolute psychological advantage.

As for the Heat, although the Heat did not have an advantage in the previous record and were indeed at a disadvantage in terms of hard power, Butler did not feel timid at all.

The one most emotionally affected was Heat coach Spoelstra.

The main players of the Heat are all influenced by the star Butler, and their mental attributes are all full. Not to mention being afraid, they are very much looking forward to the start of the game.

Soon the time came to June 6, and the Heat all arrived in Los Angeles early to start preparing for the first finals.

In fact, during the playoffs, the league also announced the best team and the best defensive team.

Among them, Su Tian got the first defense, and Nongmei got the second defense. George had no gain.

However, the league still has not announced the various awards for the regular season, but left the suspense at the awards night.

But Su Tian didn't pay too much attention to these, because the finals were about to start.

On June 6, the Heat walked into Staples on time.

This game was highly anticipated, and the seats on the sidelines were full. There were not only fans of the two teams, but also stars and celebrities from various industries.

"Hello, viewers, welcome everyone to watch the NBA Finals of the 2021-2022 season. Now is the scene of the first game of the Finals. The two sides are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat. The game is about to begin." Charles Buck Lee said.

"Charles, let's predict this game." Kenny Smith said on the side.

Barkley glanced at Kenny Smith and said: "Do you need to predict this? I must be on the Lakers!"

"Okay, since you are optimistic about the Lakers, then I am optimistic about the Heat, but only for this game." Kenny Smith said.

"Oh? Kenny, you are optimistic about the Heat! Okay, okay, then this game will be interesting. Let's wait and see!"

At this time, players from both sides began to take the field. The Lakers' side was naturally the previous starting lineup: Brunson, Su Tian, ​​Johnson, George, and Thick Eyebrow.

There are no major changes to the Heat's starting lineup: Vincent, Butler, Dun Luo, PJ Tucker, Adebayor.

In order to deal with Su Tian, ​​the Heat naturally put Butler in the second position to deal with Su Tian.

Soon the game started. Nongmei and Adebayor came to the center circle. As the referee threw the ball, they both took off at the same time. Nongmei was the first to touch the basketball and call it back.

George stepped forward to collect the basketball and passed the ball to Brunson, and the game officially began.

Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and first extended a gesture to indicate to his teammates to move according to the tactics. Su Tian also ran according to the tactics.

After continuous running, Brunson passed a pass to George who was cutting in the air. However, at this time, George attracted most of the Heat's defensive power, making it difficult to get a layup directly.

However, George did not try to hit the basket directly. Instead, he attracted the defense and passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and made a catch-and-shoot move, shaking off the charging Butler, and then burst out and rushed to the basket again.

The Heat were somewhat prepared. After Su Tian broke through Butler's defense, Adebayor immediately stepped forward to establish a second line of defense.

Just when Adebayor thought his "second line of defense" was working, Su Tian hit the ground and passed the ball to the thick eyebrow at the basket.

The thick eyebrow received the ball and faced the empty basket beside him, and dunked with both hands directly on the spot.

2-0
"The good first goal came from Su's assist and Davis' dunk! This goal is beautiful, it is the perfect cooperation of the three giants. First, George attracts the defense, then Su Tian's organization, and finally Davis' finish. The Big Three are working more and more together," Barkley said.

At this time, the ball was exchanged on the court and the Heat attacked. Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Butler.

You know, although Butler came to No. 2 to restrict Su Tian, ​​Su Tian can also better restrict Butler.

Although Butler is a defensive player, he is also the team's first scoring point in the Heat. If Butler's scoring can be limited, it will only be good for the Lakers.

At this time, Butler held the ball and faced Su Tian's defense. He first tested the three threats, and then reached out to call Adebayor to step forward to pick and roll.

With the help of a pick-and-roll, he rushed to the basket, but before he could reach the free throw line, he was immediately intercepted by Su Tian.

Butler was also obviously prepared, knowing that Su Tian was quick to get around the pick-and-roll, so he immediately passed the ball to Vincent outside the three-point line.

Vincent immediately exploded after receiving the ball and rushed to the basket.

Brunson did not block Vincent's impact, but the thick eyebrows on the inside helped to defend in time, blocking Vincent's shooting space.

So Vincent once again passed the ball to Dun Luo in the bottom corner. Dun Luo received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

2-3
Dun Luo is also a player who came out of the Lakers. Now he has an annual salary of tens of millions and serves as the most stable three-pointer on the outside for the Heat.

The ball was given to the Lakers again. This time Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed it directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Butler. He repeated Butler's operation in the previous round and reached out to call for thick eyebrows to come forward to pick and roll. Butler knew that he could not guard against the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two, so he signaled Adebayor to directly adjust the defense.

But even though the two of them switched defenses very quickly, Adebayor still couldn't stop Su Tian. Su Tian accelerated and directly threw away Adebayor, quickly walked to the basket and succeeded in a quick layup.

Behind him, Adebayor even wanted to catch up, but he couldn't keep up with Su Tian's speed.

4-3
The ball was given to the Heat again. This time it was Butler who started the attack with the ball, but was still blocked by Su Tian. So Butler passed the ball directly to Adebayor, hoping to let Adebayor lean under the basket. Solve it according to personal ability.

But if there is a competition between Adebayor and Thick Eyebrow, it can only be said that Thick Eyebrow treats Adebayor like he is beating a child.

Adebayor was even unable to stand due to his thick eyebrows. In desperation, Adebayor could only turn around and force a layup.

boom--

Under the interference of the thick eyebrow, the basketball was played, but just when the thick eyebrow wanted to turn around and grab the rebound, the referee on the bottom line blew the whistle.

Then the referee signaled that the thug with thick eyebrows had just committed a foul.

The thick eyebrow expression is very incredible, but also has a hint of bitterness and helplessness.

"It's not the referee, I really didn't commit a foul, believe me." The thick-browed retort seemed very feeble.

At this time, Barkley in the commentary box was also very speechless, and kept complaining in his heart: "Why has it started again? It was like this before, and now it is the finals, and it is still like this."

Although Buckley thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.

"Well, well, it seems that since entering the playoffs, Thick Eyebrow has been troubled by fouls. I don't know if there is something wrong with Thick Eyebrow. I hope he can adjust soon."

Barkley could only send his best wishes, while Kenny Smith on the side was silent.

Soon Adebayor stood on the free throw line and made two free throws, and the game continued.

Through the referee's whistle, Nongmei knew that the action against him was not over yet, so he began to consciously restrain his movements in the next few rounds.

This has also caused the Heat's shooting percentage at the basket to rise sharply. Whether it is Adebayor under the basket or rushing to the basket from the outside, the shooting percentage has increased.

Relying on this, the score in the first quarter came to 28-27, and the Lakers only led by 1 point.

Originally, in the first half of the quarter, the Lakers were already leading by 7 points, but in the second half of the quarter, the Heat discovered the "loophole" of the Lakers inside, so they deliberately went to the basket, which caused the point difference to be quickly caught up.

"The performance of both sides in the first quarter seems to be very good so far, especially the Heat. The Heat are still slow to heat up, but this game is heating up faster. They already played well in the second half of the first quarter. I hope the Heat can continue this state in the next three quarters," Barkley said.

"In fact, the Lakers' performance is also very good. Su's offense and organization are still online, but Davis has not dared to make moves since the foul. This has led to problems with the Lakers' interior defense. It needs The Lakers need to adjust," Kenny Smith said.

It was obvious that both of them knew that this was the work of the alliance, and it was hard for them to say anything directly.

Soon the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began. Both sides made substitution adjustments. Su Tian and Nong Mei took off the field to rest as usual.

The thick eyebrows really need to take a break to divert the referees' attention.

Su Tian, ​​on the other hand, needs to be ready to play at any time, because the scores between the two teams are too close and the Lakers' advantage is not obvious. Walton can only increase Su Tian's playing time. After all, Su Tian is the star of the team. It is also very normal to increase playing time in the finals.

On the Heat's side, Butler also took a break, with Vincent and Adebayor leading the team.

The leadership ability of these two people is naturally incomparable to that of Brunson and George. Even George's leadership ability alone can directly defeat these two people.

Therefore, in the first half of the second quarter, the Lakers' advantage was still relatively obvious, and the point difference was controlled to about 5 points.

Although the score difference is still not big, at least a 5-point score difference cannot be caught up with one ball, and there is a certain amount of room.

Halfway through the second quarter, the two teams made substitution adjustments again.

Su Tian, ​​Nongmei, Butler and others played again.

If we talk about the depth of the bench, the Lakers are naturally better, but the Heat's mental attributes are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The entire team, whether starting or coming off the bench, is full of hard work.

However, because Butler has been in a confrontation with Su Tian, ​​Butler's offensive attributes have not been stimulated, which has led to the Heat's offense always being lacking.

Especially after Vincent and Adebayor came off the court, the Heat had fewer players who could score, so the Heat's offense struggled in the second half of the game.

At the end of the second quarter, 61-52, the Lakers led by 9 points at halftime.

"With a 9-point lead at halftime and a nearly double-digit difference, the Heat must find a way to seize the game in the third quarter. Otherwise, Su will teach him how to behave in the fourth quarter," Barkley said.

"Su was really unsolvable in the fourth quarter. If the Heat want to break the game, they must work hard in the third quarter." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, both teams returned to the locker room and were adjusting their tactics for the second half.

"Everyone, listen up. In the second half, everyone will try to find ways to play inside, especially when Anthony Davis is on the court, and draw fouls on him!"

"Don't ask me why, just follow my instructions!"

Si Bo's expression was very serious, with a hint of unquestionable temperament.

As for the Lakers' comparison, Walton is naturally aware of the situation with thick eyebrows.

"Anthony, I know you are not in a good mood right now, but the team still needs you very much in the second half. You have to control your emotions and actions so that you can neither let the referee catch you nor ensure defensive efficiency. I know this is very important. It’s difficult, but that’s the game! Only the winner can speak.”

The thick eyebrow naturally knew this truth, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, coach, I know how to do it."

Seeing that Nongmei agreed, Wharton turned around with confidence to arrange other tactics.

"Su, the team's offensive focus will still be on you in the second half. We must widen the gap in the third quarter and not give the Heat a chance. I know you are very strong in the fourth quarter, but I also want to remind you. , the Heat are also very strong in the fourth quarter, so be sure to take precautions!"

Su Tian also nodded after hearing this.

"Guys, the Heat are nothing special. Even the Heat have always been our loser, so let me go and score hard! Destroy them!"

As Walton's chicken soup poured down, the morale of the Lakers was high. At this time, the halftime was over and the players returned to the game.
