NBA’s aging star system

After Nance scored a three-pointer, the score reached 57-45, and the Lakers led by 12 points.

The ball possession changed and it was the Clippers' turn to attack.

After Beverly came to the frontcourt with the ball, he passed the ball directly to Lu Wei.

Among the Clippers' defenders, the one who is more reliable now is Lou Williams.

At this time, it was Su Tian who was defending Lu Wei.

Lu Wei's breakthrough is mainly based on speed, and this time is no exception, he wants to use absolute speed to directly complete overtaking.

But Su Tian was no ordinary player. He defended tightly in front of Lu Wei and did not give him any room to break through.

Lu Wei tried two or three times in a row without success, so he had to pass the ball to Griffin in the low post.

Griffin caught the ball and directly hit Kuzma with his back. Kuzma was not as thick as Griffin and was pushed all the way to the basket.

When the time was right, Griffin turned around and shot after a confrontation.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

57-47

Griffin can still perform well against Kuzma.

The ball changed again, Caruso advanced with the ball, and after reaching the frontcourt, he gave it directly to Su Tian.

This time Su Tian still started with a pick-and-roll, using the pick-and-roll to start a breakthrough. However, this time Beverley switched defense and went in front of Larry Nance. Jordan was still sitting under the basket, and Gallinari came over to double-team.

The Clippers' defensive intention is also very obvious. They must not only defend Su Tian's pass, but also defend Su Tian's attack on the basket and mid-range.

But the price is to short Luol Deng.

Luol Deng's ability has indeed declined a lot, but the most basic catching and shooting is still no problem, and there is even a passing bonus from Su Tian.

So Su Tian passed the ball to Luol Deng, and Luol Deng took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

Luol Deng seems to know that the Clippers will not care about him. He takes his shots in a leisurely manner, like an old man playing ball.

Swah——

60-47

Seeing Luol Deng's performance, Su Tian nodded and shook his head.

The nod affirms Luol Deng's way of playing, taking his time and ensuring his shooting percentage.

And I shake my head because it has indeed degraded too much, but the contract is too big and it is probably difficult to sell.

In the next few rounds, just as Walton expected, with Su Tian around, even the Clippers and Lakers who faced the main lineup were not at a disadvantage.

With Su Tian here, other Lakers players can also focus more on defense and just wait for Su Tian to feed them on the offensive end.

Soon, half a quarter passed, and the point difference had stabilized at around 15 points. Walton called a timeout and prepared to make substitutions.

The second half of the third quarter is for Su Tian to recover his strength. Walton also knows that Su Tian will explode in the fourth quarter. This is no longer a secret in the league.

In the second half, the Lakers' main lineup also faced the Clippers' bench, barely maintaining a double-digit point difference.

Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides reached 81-70, and the Lakers still maintained an 11-point gap.

So, in the fourth quarter, Walton waved his hand directly and went to Su Tian!

Su Tian, ​​Clarkson, Ingram, Randle, Lopez.

The Clippers are obviously well prepared and have their main lineup on the field.

Beverley, Lou Williams, Gallinari, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Clippers. Lu Wei advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and faced Su Tian's defense.

Seeing Su Tian defending him, Lu Wei frowned. When he faced Su Tian's defense earlier, Lu Wei was basically locked up by Su Tian. Now it's strange to see Su Tian looking good.

However, Su Tian didn't care whether his face looked good or bad.

Lu Wei hesitated for a moment, but was still ready to break through Su Tian.

But as soon as Lu Wei got into his stance, Su Tian quickly attacked and directly made a steal!

The golden ball stealer shines brightly.

Su Tian, ​​who successfully grabbed the ball, once again went full throttle and rushed straight to the frontcourt. At this time, the Lakers players also formed fast break memories and quickly kept up with Su Tian's pace.

On the Clippers side, Beverly and Lu Wei both came towards Su Tian, ​​forming an encirclement.

After Su Tian rushed all the way to the basket, he made another pass without looking at anyone, and accurately passed it to Clarkson who was following on the other side.

Clarkson caught the ball and made an easy layup.

It wasn't until Clarkson made a layup that Beverley and Lu Wei realized that the ball was no longer in Su Tian's hands.

83-70

Su Tian single-handedly played Beverly and Lu Wei around, and this scene also made O'Neal and Barkley in the studio laugh.

"Hahaha, look at that Beverley, look at him like that, he doesn't even know where the ball went, and he's still following Sue!" O'Neal complained while laughing.

"I have to say that Su has made great progress. Unknowingly, Su has grown to this extent." Kenny Smith was relatively calm, maintaining the last trace of dignity in the studio.

At this time, the ball was once again given to the Clippers. Lu Wei no longer dared to hold the ball. He passed the ball directly to Griffin, and then ran to the bottom corner to open up space.

Griffin holds the ball and hits Randall with his back. Griffin is 2.08 meters and Randall is 2.06 meters. The two are about the same height, but Griffin is obviously stronger.

After a series of collisions, Griffin held the ball and hit the basket. Then he turned around and shook Randall away, then turned around again and scored a layup.

83-72

Although Griffin is still scoring goals, his physical exertion is obvious and his shooting percentage is inevitable.

The ball possession changed and it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Beverley directly rushed to defend, biting like a mad dog.

Facing Beverley's biting defense, Su Tian was not anxious at all. He first passed the ball to Clarkson, and then took Beverley to the low post, while letting other teammates pull away.

Because the entire Lakers team is capable of three-pointers at this time, the Clippers had to go out with them.

After Su Tian's position was completed, Clarkson passed the ball in.

Su Tian caught the ball and prepared to post up Beverley.

"Will Su play a post-up? When will it happen? I've never seen it before?" O'Neal looked surprised. Nowadays, defenders playing in the low post are rare in the entire league.

"I don't know, maybe I just practiced this season." Barkley said.

Before the two of them said a few words, Su Tian started talking.

Su Tian first turned his back and shook his shoulders, then turned around and made a fake move, and then another fake move.

At this time, Beverly had already been confused by Su Tian's fake move, and then Su Tian directly shot a fadeaway jumper without any interference at all.

Swah——

Su Tian easily hit the shot, but Beverley seemed to be nailed in place, and his mind was still a mess.

"Wow! Sue's back fake is so cool! Shaq! Guess who I saw, I seemed to see Kobe!" Barkley yelled.

"No, no, no, Kobe is not that cool. Su is better than Kobe because Su can pass the ball." Although O'Neal also felt that his figure was very similar to Kobe, he was stubborn.
