NBA’s aging star system

Under the leadership of Su Tian, ​​the Lakers continued to open up the score with the Timberwolves.

In the end, the Lakers easily defeated the Timberwolves 121-104, successfully completing this season's Christmas game.

The Lakers' record also reached 27 wins and 5 losses, and the Lakers once again started a winning streak.

In this game, Su Tian finished 30+10 as usual, the best in the game.

For the Timberwolves, Butler scored 23 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, which was the best performance in the Timberwolves.

After the game, Su Tian and Butler hugged each other and greeted each other. Butler also expressed his approval to Su Tian, ​​but he still had not made a decision on whether to go to Los Angeles.

Su Tian is not in a hurry. This is Butler's first season with the Timberwolves. According to the historical process, the next season will be when the Timberwolves' conflicts will break out.

After the game against the Timberwolves, the Lakers took a day off to give their players a day off for Christmas.

On the 27th, the Lakers continued to play at home against the Grizzlies.

In this game, Su Tian chose to rest and leave the team to the young players in the team.

Starting lineup, Ball, Pope, Ingram, Randle, Lopez.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup only has Tyreke Evans, Dillon Brooks, Andrew Harrison, Jarrell Martin, and Marc Gasol.

I thought that with the Lakers' current lineup, they would be able to deal with a mere Grizzlies, but I didn't expect that the Lakers couldn't do it without Su Tian, ​​and they overturned against the Grizzlies.

109-99, the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies by 10 points, and the 10 points difference came at the critical moment of the fourth quarter.

For the Grizzlies, Tyreke Evans had 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, best in the game.

Marc Gasol scored 11 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, simply supporting the team's entire defensive system.

反观湖人这边，英格拉姆和克拉克森两人倒是表现不错，英格拉姆全场拿到23分4篮板4助攻，克拉克森拿到22分4篮板2助攻。

However, without Su Tian, ​​the entire Lakers team only got a total of 14 assists, which clearly explained the matter of "each working on its own".

The Lakers also suffered their sixth loss of the season again, with a record of 27 wins and 6 losses, still occupying a place among the top three in the Western Conference.

After the game against the Grizzlies, the entire Lakers team was very frustrated, especially these young players whose playing status fluctuated greatly and were more easily affected by emotions.

In order to ease the anxious atmosphere of the team, Su Tian also took the lead in organizing a team dinner and invited all the players on the team, including the head coach.

"Su, how far do you think we can go this season?" Wharton was chatting with Su Tian on the side.

"I don't know, maybe one round, maybe two rounds, maybe it's not impossible to enter the finals." Su Tian said casually while smiling.

Walton smiled and said no more. Walton knew that the Lakers' success so far this season had shocked many people, but Walton was also unsure of how far they could go this season.

In Walton's view, he would be very satisfied if he could reach the second round. As for the Western Conference Finals, that was the stage between the Warriors and Rockets, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

After a team dinner to resolve matters, the team atmosphere also relaxed a lot.

But if you want to truly solve and cure these problems, you still have to rely on games. As the saying goes, victory is the best medicine to solve the team's internal problems.

On December 12, the Lakers played at home. This was the last home game of four consecutive home games. It was also the Los Angeles Derby, where the Lakers faced the Clippers.

This is the third time the two teams have met this season. The Lakers won the first two games, and this one is no exception. The Lakers players are all gearing up to kill the Clippers three times.

The Clippers want to win back a victory. After all, in the past few years, the Clippers have played against the Lakers. This year, the Lakers suddenly reared their head. Of course, the Clippers are unhappy.

Soon, the game time came and the game was about to begin.

The starting lineup given by the Clippers is Austin Rivers, C.J. Williams, Milos Teodosic, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan.

The Lakers' starting lineup welcomes the return of Su Tian, ​​Ball, Su Tian, ​​Ingram, Randle, Lopez.

In the first quarter, Su Tian held the ball to strengthen his personal offense, relying on his strong personal offense to quickly widen the point difference.

At the end of the first quarter, the score reached 35-22, and the Lakers led by 13 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, Su Tian took a break. Ball and Ingram led the team respectively. The two led the team for half a quarter and were almost caught up by the Clippers, but luckily they lasted until Su Tian returned.

After Su Tian came back, he stabilized the situation on the court and the point difference became stable again.

At the end of the first half, the score reached 62-48, and the Lakers led by 14 points at halftime.

During the halftime break, you could clearly feel the Lakers' slackness and the Clippers' sluggishness.

Su Tian continued to play in the third quarter, but Su Tian began to use passes and assists to drive his teammates and connect the team as a whole.

In the second half of the third quarter, Su Tian took a break again to prepare for the fourth quarter. Su Tian led half of the quarter on the court and successfully brought out the state of his teammates.

So Su Tian didn't worry in the second half of the quarter. The Lakers and Clippers played evenly.

Su Tian played again in the fourth quarter. At this time, the Clippers had completely lost their fighting spirit. Su Tian only played for 5 minutes and successfully opened the point difference to 20 points.

After the score difference reached 20 points, Rivers called a timeout, replaced all the main players, replaced them with substitute players, and directly announced that the game was surrendered.

It was not easy for the Lakers to continue playing the main team, so they also replaced Su Tian and other main players and replaced them on the bench.

In the end, the Lakers easily defeated the Clippers 121-106, completing three kills against the Clippers!

本场苏天也照例完成30+10，同时还拿到10个篮板，完成30+10+10的三双数据。

In addition, Randall scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Clarkson scored 20 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. The Lakers team got 30 assists, and 7 people scored in double figures. Compared with the previous game, If two teams.

快船这边，格里芬拿到24分6篮板6助攻，路威拿到23分3篮板2助攻，但是和湖人相比仍然有所差距。

After completing three kills against the Clippers, Jenny Buss specially prepared a celebration banquet to celebrate the team's absolute suppression of the Clippers.

This is undoubtedly a huge encouragement to Lakers fans who have experienced a few years of dark times.

The two teams will have the opportunity to play against each other 4 times this season. The Lakers have now won 3 games, so no matter who wins the next game, the final winner will be the Lakers.

However, if you can complete four kills, it will naturally be a dream. This is also something Jenny Bass wants to tell Su Tian through this celebration party.

On the 31st, the last day of December, the Lakers went to Houston to prepare for their third meeting with the Rockets this season.

In the first two meetings, the two teams had one win and one loss and were temporarily tied. The third game became even more important.

Not only that, because this game is the last game in December, the performance in this game will also directly affect the selection of the best player in December.
