NBA’s aging star system

After the game against the Pelicans, the Lakers' record reached 3 wins and 0 losses, which was a good start to the new season.

After three consecutive wins at the beginning, Wharton now walks with wind and smiles like a Maitreya Buddha every day.

After the game on the 22nd, Walton announced that the team would have a day off.

Su Tian also took this opportunity to take a good rest. Of course, Su Tian's physical condition was very good and he did not need to rest, but his spirit needed a rest.

But Su Tian only had time to rest for half a day, and was taken away by Bill Duffy to attend Anta's press conference in the afternoon.

Because Su Tian's new generation of boots are on sale.

This one is different from the previous ones. It uses the purple and gold color scheme of the Lakers team. It looks noble and luxurious. It also uses the latest technology additions. The overall look is quite like a future warrior.

Of course, there were not only highlights about sneakers at the press conference, but also reporters who wanted to take this opportunity to interview Su Tian himself.

"Su, you just had a triple-double in the last game. Your all-around ability is obvious to everyone. However, you never seem to score very high scores. May I ask why?"

Su Tian smiled first, and then said, "Maybe you should do some homework before asking questions. So far, I should still be the holder of the scoring record in the first game of the playoffs."

"It's not that I'm not good at scoring, it's just that compared to scoring, I want to drive the whole team to improve together. So, it's not that I can't, it's that I don't want to."

"So what do you mean, you can get high scores as long as you want? Like Kobe did back then?"

"I think you may have misunderstood what I mean. I just use my own way to win the game, rather than deliberately pursuing higher scores. For me, winning the game is the most important, and scoring is only part of winning the game." There's more than one way to win, and there's more than one way to score."

After dealing with the reporters, Su Tian returned home and thought about today's interview.

"It seems that there are still some people who don't see me living a good life."

If you ask sharp questions in that situation, you will most likely be the hook.

Since his debut, Su Tian has not been labeled as a simple "scorer".

Mr. Key, the king of the final quarter, and the team organizer, these are the labels on Su Tian.

However, speaking of which, Su Tian does have ideas about this year's scoring champion.

Su Tian won the steals title last year, which gave him a lot of points for entering the first defense. If he can win the scoring title this year while ensuring his record, it will definitely add points to the MVP selection.

Su Tian recalled that this season's scoring champion and MVP should have been James Harden, who averaged 30 points per game.

"It seems that it is not that simple to win these two honors."

On October 10, the Lakers continued to sit at home and welcomed the Washington Wizards.

Last season, the Wizards entered the Eastern Conference playoffs under the leadership of Wall and Beal, but unfortunately they met the Cavaliers and were sent home.

This year, Su Tian met the Wizards again. It was completely different from the previous year. Su Tian had to take on more responsibilities.

Soon, the game begins.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is still Ball, Su Tian, ​​​​Ingram, Larry Nance, and Lopez.

For the Wizards, Wall, Beal, Kelly Ober, Otto Porter, Gortat.

The two sides jumped the ball, and Lopez took the lead.

Ball came to the frontcourt with the ball, observed the defensive position, and then passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Bill's defense, calling Lopez for a pick-and-roll.

Gortat was afraid of Su Tian's breakthrough and did not dare to fully come out, so Su Tian used the pick and roll to make a mid-range emergency stop jumper.

Swah——

Su Tian got off to a good start.

2-0

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

Su Tian followed Bill to run and defend without the ball, while Ball guarded Wall.

Seeing that a rookie was defending him, Wall smiled disdainfully and accelerated directly to complete the overtaking.

When Lopez quickly came to the basket, he didn't have time to help defend. After all, Lopez didn't expect Ball to be passed so easily.

So Wall directly scored a layup and easily finished it.

2-2

When Wall completed a layup and returned to defense, he looked at Su Tian.

"Hey, Sue! Are you sure you don't want to guard me?"

Su Tian looked at Wall who couldn't wait and simply smiled.

"You can't wait to be abused?"

This offseason, Wall has just completed a four-year, $4 million contract extension with the Wizards. Last season, Wall also averaged 1.7+23 per game, and his strength was at its peak.

However, even if Wall is very strong, Su Tian has a way to cure him.

Turning around, the Lakers attacked. Su Tian rushed inside and met Gortat for defense, so he passed the ball to Lopez at the top of the arc.

Lopez caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. Although the shot was not fast, it was very stable.

Swah——

Lopez hit a three-pointer, 5-2

Lopez, who completed the three-pointer, and Su Tian, ​​who returned to defense, high-fived each other.

Lopez's slow shooting was Su Tian's suggestion, because the big man has a height advantage and does not need a fast shooting speed. As long as he hits one or two steadily, the opponent will not dare to let you go.

The ball was transferred and it was the Wizards' turn to attack again.

This time, when Wall came to the frontcourt with the ball, he found that Su Tian was indeed guarding him, so he became very excited and signaled to his teammates to pull away and prepare for singles.

Wall is actually a very smart player. He knows that Su Tian is the Lakers' offensive guarantee. If Su Tian's energy can be consumed on the defensive end, it will be very beneficial to the Wizards.

Of course, Wall also really wants to play Su Tian alone to see if Su Tian has improved this offseason. This is the concern from the 09 senior of the University of Kentucky.

After his teammates were all separated, Wall began to lower his center of gravity and continuously cross dribble, trying to mobilize Su Tian's defensive focus.

But what Wall didn't expect was that Su Tian not only did not step forward to defend, but also took half a step back.

Wall frowned, why, you look down on my shooting?

So Wall directly blasted the ball into the three-point line, and then connected with a step-back three-point shot.

Although Su Tian always maintained a defensive position and was not shaken away by Wall, the moment Wall shot a three-pointer, Su Tian also stepped forward and raised his hand to interfere.

boom--

Wall missed a three-pointer and the rebound was taken by Lopez.

Seeing Lopez get the rebound, Su Tian quickly received the ball and started the fast break.

But Wall's speed and reaction were also very fast, and he followed Su Tian closely. The two fought all the way to the basket.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Tian directly collected the ball and took a Eurostep. Although Su Tian's absolute speed was not as fast as Wall's, Su Tian's Eurostep rhythm was confusing, and Su Tian also had a height advantage, so he easily scored a layup.

7-2

After hitting the layup, Su Tian looked at Wall with a smile while returning to defense.

"Can you do it?"

Wall was very angry, but had no choice but to use basketball to regain the court.
