NBA Old Age Star System

Dun Luo easily hit a three-pointer. At the same time, Dun Luo was also the first player to feel the change in the Lakers' defensive intensity.

As for Spoelstra and other Heat players on the sidelines, they just lamented that Dun Luo's off-ball movement skills seemed to have improved a lot.

The ball was given to the Lakers again. This time Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball, still facing Butler's defense.

But this time, Su Tian signaled his teammates to pull away and he wanted to play singles.

After dribbling the ball continuously left and right, Su Tian directly completed the breakthrough with a cross step.

The Heat's reaction was just as Su Tian predicted, and they immediately double-teamed themselves.

Seeing the Heat's double-team coming forward, Su Tian immediately passed the ball to George outside the three-point line.

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

Swah——

The three-pointer hit directly.

But before George could be happy, the referee on the sidelines blew the whistle the next moment and signaled that Johnson had just moved the pick-and-roll and the goal was invalid.

This time it was George's fault. The goal he finally scored was blown away?

Then George looked up at the replay on the big screen and discovered that Johnson was indeed suspected of moving the pick-and-roll just now, and his feet moved half a step.

However, let alone the finals, even in the regular season, there are basically no mobile pick-and-roll calls for this level of movement. Obviously, the whistleblowing performance against the Lakers has already begun.

George also knew what the referee and the league wanted to do, so after a few brief arguments, he turned his head and returned to defense.

According to Su Tian's previous vision, the ideal situation is for the Lakers to defeat the Heat with hard power despite the league's punishment.

Of course, this is the most ideal. If it is not ideal, you need to constantly put pressure on the referee and let the referee try to balance it as much as possible.

If this method still doesn't work and the Lakers are still facing a crisis, then the Lakers will have to come up with their " trump card ."

The ball was given to the Heat, and Vincent started an attack with the ball. He took the ball and hit the thick eyebrows directly at the basket.

The Heat player who just refereed the penalty naturally saw it, and naturally wanted to "cooperate" with the referee's work.

After Vincent came to the basket, he took off directly with the ball, and there was a physical confrontation with Nongmei, and his whole body leaned towards Nongmei's body.

boom--

drop--

The sound of basketball striking and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time. After Vincent was pulled up by his teammates, he walked to the free throw line as if there was no one there.

At this time, the thick eyebrow was arguing with the referee on the bottom line and began to put pressure on the referee.

In fact, the caller with thick eyebrows just now was really reluctant. The thick eyebrows did not exceed his cylinder, but Vincent leaned upward, so it was completely reasonable for the thick eyebrows to be angry at this time.

But the whistle had been decided and it was impossible to change the decision. Vincent went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

2-5
In the next few rounds, in order to ensure that the Heat would not lead by too many points, Su Tian increased the frequency of his singles shots.

Although this increases one's physical exertion, at least the team's offensive efficiency and level are guaranteed.

At the end of the first quarter, 27-28, the Lakers were temporarily behind by one point.

Although the Lakers are behind in the score, fortunately, the Lakers have not had any foul troubles. Both Nongmei and George only committed one foul.

In the second quarter, the two sides started fighting again after substitutions and adjustments.

The Lakers also removed Su Tian and Nongmei as usual, and put George and Brunson on the court to lead the team.

The first possession of the second quarter was given to the Heat. Oladipo came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Brunson's defense, Oladipo chose to break through directly with the ball.

In any case, Oladipo can be regarded as a person who has been the boss of the team, and he is still not afraid even when he comes to the finals.

Brunson followed Oladipo closely, and the two came to the basket while fighting physically. Oladipo forced a layup against Brunson's defense.

Bang——shua——

drop--

The basketball hit the net and the whistle sounded at the same time.

Oladipo went to the free throw line and hit the extra free throw, making the score 2+1.

Brunson shook his head helplessly, received the ball from the baseline, and came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Although Su Tian on the sidelines did not play, he had been paying attention to the game on the court. Seeing that Brunson was also starting to be targeted by the referee, Su Tian also understood. It seemed that main players like Brunson could not escape.

This is a game against the Lakers as a whole.

However, on the offensive end, it was still difficult for the referees to find faults with the Lakers. Brunson and George also increased their cooperation, making the offense more efficient.

It's just that because Butler is here with the Heat, the Heat's advantage seems to be more obvious on the scene.

Halfway through the second quarter, the two teams began to make substitutions again. Su Tian and Nong Mei came on the field. At this time, the point difference between the two teams was still not large, but the leader became the Heat.

As soon as Su Tian came on the court, he beat Butler with the ball and relied on his personal ability to make a jump shot at the free throw line.

Su Tian stabilized the situation with a mid-range shot, but immediately after the change of possession, Su Tian also felt the league's malice.

drop--

The referee stretched out his hand to signal Su Tian for an intrusion foul.

Su Tian spread his hands and complained to the referee with a look of disbelief on his face.

Butler just faced Su Tian with the ball. Su Tian just stepped forward and tried to steal. He had slight physical contact with Butler's arm and was called a foul by the referee.

"Here, the Lakers seem to be in a foul crisis. The Lakers players need to pay attention to their actions." Barkley said.

"Well, it does seem to be the case. Maybe the Lakers players were too eager, causing their movements to be a bit big involuntarily." Kenny Smith agreed.

These two people naturally saw that there were some problems with the whistleblowing in this game, but they couldn't explain it clearly, so they could only mention it implicitly.

At this time, Su Tian also committed a foul, and the Heat reorganized their offense.

After a period of tactical movement and cooperation, Butler passed the ball to Tucker outside the three-point line.

Tucker caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

The three-pointer hit directly.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian also began to cooperate with Nongmei to score points, which was more labor-saving and more efficient.

It's just that Nongmei was whistled for a foul again and received two fouls.

At the end of the second quarter, the score difference between the two teams was still not widened. These three referees were so good at calling penalties that they could always interrupt the Lakers' momentum when they were about to gain momentum.

At this time, the Lakers temporarily took the lead, but only by 3 points. The game entered halftime, and the two teams returned to the locker rooms.

On the Heat's side, Spoelstra can't wait to take out his tactical board.

"Guys, pay attention!! Needless to say, you should have discovered that this game is our best chance! The best chance to defeat the Lakers!"

Si Bo's expression was very excited, and he had obviously been holding it in for a long time.

"We have to be more aggressive in the second half! If you feel bad, hit the basket! Don't be afraid of physical confrontation. The whistle of this game is in our favor!"

As Spoelstra spoke, he laid out several tactics to hit the basket.

Spoelstra obviously noticed the abnormality in the referee's whistleblowing standards. At first, Spoelstra thought that the whistleblowing standards in this game were tighter and didn't pay too much attention to it. However, he later discovered that the Lakers' whistleblowing standards were different from the Heat's whistleblowing standards. That's very intriguing.

So the Heat must take advantage of this advantage in the second half.

At the same time, the Lakers are also worried about the standard of whistleblowing.

Wharton scratched his head and said, "Su, do you have any other good ideas?"

Su Tian shook his head helplessly and said: "I don't have any better way, but fortunately, at least we are still in the lead now. I don't know what the second half will be like. Let's play first and then talk about it."

After hearing this, Wharton had no choice but to nod his head and said: "That's all we have to do. We will continue to follow the tactics we arranged before in the second half. Everyone, please pay attention to your actions and don't let those guys get any clues."

Then Walton began to emphasize the precautions for the second half.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

Both sides brought out their starting lineups in the third quarter, and the main lineups of the two teams once again competed.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Heat, and Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Because of Spoelstra's previous arrangement, Vincent got the basketball and went directly to the basket with the ball.

Vincent's impact with the ball is still good. In order to protect the basket, Vincent immediately returned to the position under the basket and tried his best to block it.

But who knew that Vincent was not going for the basket at all, but for the thick eyebrows under the basket.

boom--

"what!"

drop--

The sound of basketball, Vincent's shout, and the referee's whistle sounded one after another.

In order to make the performance more realistic, Vincent even whistled twice, and the referee was also strong enough to give the whistle.

The thick eyebrow was very helpless. He explained to the referee who blew the whistle for a while, with an aggrieved expression on his face, coupled with some elements of performance, which made people question the fairness of the referee.

But the referee will naturally not change the decision, and the fact is a foregone conclusion.

Vincent went to the free throw line and made two free throws, leaving only 1 point.

The ball was transferred, and Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Butler's defense, Su Tian reached out and called for thick eyebrows to come forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian burst out and rushed directly to the basket.

Butler was already prepared, and immediately turned around and caught up with Su Tian again. After a physical confrontation, the two came to the basket. Su Tian collected the ball and took a European step against Butler's defensive pressure.

Su Tian's European step was very confusing and successfully opened up a suitable shooting space. Although Butler was shaken away, he still insisted on guarding Su Tian, ​​so the movements of his hands became larger involuntarily. Some, so when Su Tian took action, Butler's hand slapped Su Tian's forearm directly.

This kind of action, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, is an undisputed foul. However, the three referees at this time seemed to be collectively blind. No one could see it, and naturally no referee could see it. Go blow the whistle.

Bang——shua——

But Su Tian still scored this goal with his strong personal ability.

The point difference returned to 3 points.

On the way back to defense, Su Tian kept signaling to the referee beside him that the hitter had committed a foul on the ball just now.

Naturally, Su Tian's status cannot be offended casually, so the referee had no choice but to reply, "Pay attention next time."

The ball was given to the Heat again, this time Vincent passed the ball to Butler, and Butler took the ball and launched an attack.

Su Tian followed Butler closely, and the two continued to fight physically. During the confrontation, the two came to the basket. Butler pushed against Su Tian's body and forced a layup.

boom--

drop--

Sure enough, the basketball was hitting the iron, and as expected, the whistle sounded at the same time.

This time Su Tian was really angry. After all, he didn't do anything suspected of fouling.

"Mr. Referee, please see clearly, I did not commit any foul!" Su Tian immediately said to the referee beside him.

But the referee didn't pay attention to Su Tian. He just stretched out his hand to signal a foul with thick eyebrows.

Seeing this, Su Tian turned his head and looked at the thick eyebrows who also looked confused.

"What? I fouled? What did I do? What, violated the cylinder?" Nongmei stepped forward to argue with the referee. After all, if this whistle was true, then Nongmei would have to commit 4 fouls.

But in the end, no matter how the thick eyebrow argued, the penalty remained unchanged, so Walton had to make substitution adjustments, take the thick eyebrow down, and let Griffin temporarily replace him.

And the impact of this penalty was more than that. Butler was also sent to the free throw line and made two free throws. The point difference was once again caught up.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian began to conduct each offensive round more carefully.

Because only when the Lakers' own shooting percentage reaches a certain standard can they not be afraid of the referees' troubles.

Soon the game was halfway through the third quarter. At this time, the Lakers were still leading, but the point difference was only 5 points.

Su Tian tried his best, but he had already committed two fouls.

At this time, Su Tian and George took a break, and Nongmei came on again to join forces with Brunson to spend the rotation period.

After Su Tian left the court, the situation on the court was reversed, and the Heat began to overpower the Lakers.

This kind of pressing does not only refer to the game scoring data, but also suppresses the momentum.

Because the thick eyebrows were troubled by fouls, they had to pay attention to their movements to avoid suspicion of fouls, and this gave the Heat a chance.

On the offensive end, Brunson and Big Eyebrow's cooperation is relatively tacit. Under normal circumstances, it is not a problem to support the entire team's offensive system.

But the referee will always come out to steal the show, especially when the Lakers are about to gain momentum, they will always call an insignificant violation to interrupt the Lakers' rhythm.

Faced with this situation, Walton on the sidelines was so angry that he had a friendly exchange with the referee next to him. The referee was also very considerate and gave Walton a friendly "T".

After being called for a technical foul, Walton was honest for a while, but his eyes could not stop showing the "killing intention" towards the referee. (End of chapter)
