NBA Old Age Star System

Of course, Wharton's "murderous intention" can only be buried deep in his heart.

At the end of the third quarter, the Heat achieved a lead and in the last round, they once again caused a thick eyebrow foul.

So at the end of the third quarter, Nong Mei committed 5 fouls, and the Heat led the Lakers by 5 points.

"I declare this game to be the most difficult finals and playoff game for the Lakers in the past four years!"

"The Heat must seize this game! Such opportunities are hard-won!"

"The referee of this game is too outrageous! The black whistle is too obvious!!"

"Without further ado, Miami Referees!"

"Actually, ever since the Lakers reached the Western Conference Finals, no, since the Western Conference Semifinals, they have been treated unfairly, but this game is particularly obvious."

"I don't understand what the league is thinking. It dares to be so obvious. Are you really not afraid of the fans causing trouble?"

"The league's operations are really too much, but I have to say that the Lakers are really too strong. Even if they are targeted like this, they can still maintain such efficiency. They fought back and forth with the Heat. The Lakers are really too strong."

At this time, Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box were very embarrassed, because it was so obvious that the Lakers were being targeted, and they wanted to say something but didn't dare.

"Well, the Lakers are now troubled by fouls. I hope the Lakers can get out of this quagmire and perform well in the fourth quarter." Barkley said.

"Yes, the Lakers are playing like shackles now. I don't know if there will be some improvement in the fourth quarter." Kenny Smith said.

In front of the Heat's bench, Spoelstra was very excited at this time, his eyes gleaming.

"Guys, guys, listen to me, although we are leading now, don't be careless! Be vigilant! Don't make stupid mistakes! This is our opportunity! A name that will leave its name in NBA history!"

"The Lakers have almost reached the limit of their ability to play until now. As long as we can hold on to the advantage in the fourth quarter! This game will be defended by us! We will be engraved in the history of the NBA!"

Spoelstra's expression was very exciting, constantly boosting the team's morale.

Although the Heat had the help of referees in this game, the pressure on the Heat was not small, and the reason why they can maintain the lead now is because the main players' playing time has been extended.

Now the physical exertion of the main players is no less than before. Whether they can sustain their physical strength in the fourth quarter is also a question.

After Spoelstra's irritation, the Heat regained their fighting spirit, and Spoelstra began to lay out tactics for the fourth quarter.

At the same time, the Lakers are also nervously arranging tactics for the fourth quarter.

Walton's face was very serious. This time he did not emphasize the importance of the game, but directly began to explain the tactics.

"Su Lai dominates the ball in the fourth quarter. Paul, Jalen, you all go up. Anthony should not go up for now. You have already committed five fouls. It is very dangerous."

"In the fourth quarter, we need to play more efficiently to ensure our shooting percentage, so we must be cautious every time we attack. We can reduce our rhythm appropriately, but we must ensure our scoring accuracy."

Then Wharton also deployed several related tactics, and the break ended quickly.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, players from both sides took the field.

Except for Big Eyebrow, everyone else on the Lakers side was a starter, and Boucher was chosen to take his place inside.

The Heat were even more determined and directly took the entire starting lineup.

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

Su Tian faced Butler's defense with the ball, first a triple threat test, and then stretched out his hand to let his teammates pull away.

Compared with passing the ball, Su Tian still trusts his own shots more, even when he is double-teamed.

After his teammates were all separated, Su Tian began to cross dribble left and right to mobilize Butler's defensive focus, and then broke out with a cross step to break through from the left.

Su Tian's breakthrough speed was very fast, and Butler couldn't guard it by himself. Upon seeing this, Adebayor immediately stepped forward to double-team and help defend.

When Su Tian saw Adebayor step forward to double-team, he first faked a pass to attract Adebayor's attention, then collected the ball and took a European step towards the basket.

When Su Tian was about to reach the basket, Dun Luo in the bottom corner also stepped forward to help prevent interference, but Dun Luo's interference was very limited for Su Tian, ​​and Su Tian directly made a throw.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

The score difference came to 3 points.

Su Tian's movements in this shot were very smooth and standard, and the referee couldn't find fault even if he wanted to.

The ball was transferred and the Heat attacked. Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball. Instead of passing the ball to Butler, he reached out and called Adebayor to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Vincent and Boucher faced each other. Adebayor immediately ran to the basket to take away Brunson's defense, while Vincent directly threw a high pass to Adebayor.

Adebayor received the ball and beat Brunson under the basket, making an easy layup.

Adebayor's speed was too fast, or Brunson's defense had no effect at all. George in the corner had no time to step forward to help defend.

The score difference returned to 5 points again, and this time Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Su Tian still decided to play hard with the ball, and successfully broke through again against Butler's defense.

It's just that this time the Heat were obviously prepared. When Su Tian just succeeded in breaking through, Adebayor immediately stepped forward to double-team.

Su Tian moved around in the double team, and when he was about to turn into a sandwich biscuit, Su Tian dribbled from behind and escaped from the double team. At this time, Boucher, who was released, also came. When he got to the basket, Su Tian passed the ball directly to him.

Boucher received the ball and dunked with both hands directly on the spot.

Although this goal was scored by Su Tian with a pass and assist, Su Tian had actually successfully gotten rid of the double-team. At that time, even if he shot directly, his hit rate would not be low.

It's just that compared to Boucher who is unguarded under the basket, Boucher still has a higher dunk rate.

At this time, both teams were highly concentrated. The shooting percentages of both teams were not low in several consecutive rounds, and the point difference did not change much.

In the next few rounds, the Heat also relied on the Lakers' lack of defense at the basket to continuously attack the basket.

Although Boucher's defense was okay, he couldn't stop the referee from starting to exert force again.

Boucher had already committed three fouls at this time, and he didn't dare to make big moves.

Walton on the sidelines naturally saw Boucher's embarrassment, so he reached out and called a timeout.

Fortunately, the time was about to pass halfway, so Walton directly made substitution adjustments, taking Boucher off and letting Nongmei play.

Based on the behavior of the referees in this game, Walton doesn't know how long the thick eyebrows can play, but he will definitely not let the thick eyebrows play until the end of the game, so he must prepare a replacement. After replacing the thick eyebrows on the court, the Lakers' lineup is also the entire starting lineup.

"Anthony, control your movements after playing and try to stay on the court as long as possible." Walton said.

Nongmei nodded when he heard this, and quickly paused to end the game and continue. Nongmei went on the field with the team.

After the thick eyebrows came on the court, the Lakers' interior defensive strength increased significantly, and the Heat attacked the basket several times without success.

So the Lakers took advantage of the situation to catch up with the score and completed the lead. The scores of the two teams began to rise alternately.

Just when Su Tian was about to use his strength to open up the score, the referee blew the whistle again and stretched out his hand to signal that the thick-browed thug had committed a foul. The number of fouls had reached the limit and he needed to be dismissed immediately.

Nongmei held his head with both hands in disbelief. Before going on the court, Nongmei was reminded by Walton that he had paid great attention to his actions and tried his best to avoid any suspected fouls. However, even so, he was abruptly called off by the referees.

"Mr. Referee, I'm sure I didn't commit a foul just now. I think you need to improve your whistleblowing skills!"

Naturally, he felt unhappy when his thick eyebrows were blown down, and he couldn't help but start to complain about the referee's decision.

Just when Nongmei wanted to continue spraying, Su Tian immediately stepped forward and stopped Nongmei.

"Anthony, the penalty has become a foregone conclusion. Don't make matters worse. You go back and have a good rest now. I will come back with victory." Su Tian patted the thick eyebrows on the back and said.

After hearing Su Tian's promise, Thick Eyebrow was relieved a lot, so he followed the staff back to the locker room.

At this time, Walton made substitution adjustments and brought in the candidate who had already been prepared, Blake Griffin.

Before Griffin came on the court, Walton came to Griffin's side.

"Blake, the responsibility you need to bear now is very important. Not only do you have to be a gatekeeper on the defensive end, but you also need to help Su Tian on the offensive end, so use all your energy and show it to the people of Los Angeles. At first glance, you are still the top scholar!"

After a period of encouragement, Griffin came on the stage full of passion.

Griffin's appearance caught Spoelstra off guard. At such an important moment, Spoelstra thought Walton would bring out Boucher, the first substitute with thick eyebrows.

But I didn't expect to catch Griffin by surprise.

However, no matter who they take, the Heat's tactics and strategies have not changed, that is, they still attack the basket.

After the Heat's free throws, the ball was given to the Lakers, and Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Butler's defense, Su Tian still started with a triple threat, but then directly called Griffin to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of Griffin's pick-and-roll, Su Tian went to the basket with the ball, and as expected, the Heat directly double-teamed Su Tian.

Just when he thought Su Tian was going to force his shot, Su Tian passed the ball directly to Griffin who was downhill.

Griffin received the ball and went directly to the basket. After reaching the right position, he collected the ball and took off.

At this time, there was no one under the basket. Griffin took off as if he was back on the Clippers, and succeeded with a flying one-handed dunk!
boom--

The huge sound resounded throughout the entire arena, and all the Heat fans at the scene seemed to have their voices turned off, and they even stared at Griffin for dunking in stunned silence.

"Ah!!!" Griffin roared after the dunk, as if he wanted to shout out the injustice of his fate.

"Thanks to the Feitian White Monster back then, he was still able to deliver such a dunk performance even after being injured." Su Tian thought to himself.

Although Griffin's dunk only scored two points, there was no doubt that it directly suppressed the Heat's morale and courage to fight the Lakers.

The performance in the next few rounds was very obvious. Some Heat players began to show restraints, and their shots gradually lost their sight.

Seeing that the game was about to end, but the leading position was still occupied by the Lakers, Spoelstra was very unwilling. After all, there were not many opportunities to push the Lakers into a desperate situation. If he missed this village, he would not have this store.

So Spoelstra called a timeout, preparing to make some adjustments to the team and cool down the Lakers' morale.

"Good job Blake."

Griffin was immediately praised by Walton as soon as he returned to the bench.

"This is what I should be coaching," Griffin said with a smile.

"Okay guys, let's get down to business. This game is about to end. If we want to hold on to this game, we must be more cautious. I guess the Heat must still have unrealistic illusions at this time, so We’re going to go out there and crush their illusions!”

Then Walton began to explain the precautions for the next time to prevent players from making stupid mistakes.

At this time, the Heat are indeed, as Walton guessed, still arranging tactics to overtake the score.

The point difference between the two teams at this time is not much, only 5 points. If everything goes well, they can overtake in two rounds.

"Remember, you don't need to worry about others in the next time. You just need to watch over Su. Time is running out. Su will only believe in himself at this critical moment!"

I have to say that Spoelstra's analysis is correct, but judgment and implementation are two different things.

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

Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball, stretched out his hand to greet his teammates and moved according to the tactics arranged by the coach.

After a burst of tactical movement by the Heat, Vincent passed the ball to Dun Luo, who was cutting through the air.

But Dunro was also a decoy, passing the ball to Nunn in the bottom corner again.

Nunn received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly. Even though Johnson, who was in charge of defense, reacted quickly enough, he still failed to interfere.

Swah——

The basketball went directly to the Nets, and the score difference came to 2 points.

When the ball was transferred, Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball and stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to pull away.

Spoelstra on the sidelines couldn't help but nod when he saw this scene. At the critical moment, these stars will only believe in themselves.

Facing Butler's defense, Su Tian first turned his back to protect the ball, then easily shook off Butler's defense with a behind-the-back dribble, and exploded towards the basket.

The Heat players on the side saw this and immediately stepped forward to double-team.

Just when Spoelstra thought he was sure of victory, Su Tian passed the ball to Brunson outside the three-point line.

And Su Tian thought silently in his heart: Super assist! start up! (End of chapter)
