NBA’s aging star system

I thought that the 6-point difference in the fourth quarter could last for a while, but I didn't expect that in just the first two rounds, the point difference had narrowed to 2 points, as if the Lakers were about to complete the lead in the blink of an eye.

So Donovan made a gesture towards Westbrook, indicating to slow down the rhythm, play steadily and achieve success.

After seeing the coach's instructions, Westbrook slowed down and slowly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Westbrook did not rush to hold the ball and attack, but directed everyone to move. With the help of tactical movements and mutual screens, Westbrook broke through and passed the ball to George.

George got the ball and quickly transferred it to Ferguson who was cutting through the air. Ferguson attracted the defense and passed the ball to Westbrook on the other side.

Westbrook took three steps directly after receiving the ball and scored an easy layup.

The Thunder were very patient in this round. Even when Westbrook made a layup at the end, there were only 5 seconds left in the offensive round.

88-92

The Thunder finally scored in the fourth quarter, and Donovan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Thunder's offense is starting to get on track, they still have no way to deal with Su Tian on the defensive end. Even because the Thunder frequently double-teamed Su Tian, ​​the shots thrown by other Lakers were not greatly disturbed, and their shooting percentages also improved. .

Five minutes after the fourth quarter, the two sides were tied at 5-103, and Donovan called a timeout.

The 6-point difference could not be sustained for even half a quarter, let alone the end of the game. This hit Donovan very hard, but now that the matter was over, Donovan had no choice but to put on the entire main lineup, and The Lakers came to make a last ditch effort.

The Lakers could also think of the Thunder's operations, so they also made substitution adjustments and took the entire main lineup.

At this time, both sides have returned to their strongest lineups, and the final battle is about to begin.

"Attention, viewers! The next few minutes will determine the next direction of this series! If the Lakers win, the Thunder will completely lose the courage to resist! But if the Thunder win, the Thunder will have a great momentum. Up! There may be new changes in this series!" Kenny Smith saw both sides sending their main lineups and hurriedly started business.

After returning to the court, Westbrook came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Anthony.

Anthony has just been replaced, and his physical strength is relatively sufficient now, so it is now up to Anthony to lead the team, and we also take the opportunity to let George and Westbrook rest and recover their physical strength.

Facing Randall, Anthony started as a triple threat and continuously stretched his feet to test Randall's defensive focus.

So far in this series, the rivalry between Randall and Anthony has attracted much attention. At this time, Anthony is like Wade two and a half years ago, who was stepped on by Su Tian and made Su Tian famous.

Anthony is a proud man and naturally would not be willing to be defeated by a young player, so he broke through and entered the basket from the right side.

Randall was not slow and kept up with Anthony in time. After the two entangled all the way to the basket, Anthony took advantage of the situation and secretly pushed Randall away and succeeded in a layup.

Anthony relied on his richer experience to successfully score the key two points.

103-105

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

Although Su Tian moved to the second position at this time, Paul George was still responsible for defending Su Tian. Brewer did not have the ability to defend Su Tian in his current state.

Facing George's defense, Su Tian did not rush to attack. Instead, he gestured to Randall to indicate pick-and-roll cooperation.

Although Randall was only scored once, he was still very active in running and full of professionalism.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian broke through directly. Anthony's steps were slower, and Su Tian easily broke through before a defensive switch could be formed.

Then Su Tian, ​​who came near the free throw line, stopped and made a jump shot.

Swah——

Su Tian made a solid shot, and Adams squatted lonely under the basket.

105-105

Anthony's movement speed is slow, so Su Tian can use his own speed to hit him at will.

The two teams were tied again, Paul George received the ball and advanced. Obviously George wanted to score this ball himself.

Naturally, the task of defending George cannot be left to Ingram, but to Su Tian.

Facing Su Tian's defense, Paul George wanted to use his size and weight advantages to crush him in, but as soon as the two faced off, Su Tian directly attacked and quickly completed the steal.

After grabbing the ball, Su Tian directly launched a fast break and rushed forward with the ball. Su Tian was very fast, and George chased him further and further away.

Su Tian took the lead and came to the front basket and dunked with both hands.

107-105

The Lakers took the lead.

Turning his head, Westbrook suddenly shot a cold arrow and hit a three-pointer directly.

107-108

The Thunder took the lead again, with only 5 minutes left.

In the next few rounds, the scores of the two sides alternated back and forth, leading many times. The score began to become stalemate, and the atmosphere on the court became anxious.

In the last minute, the score came to 115-116, and the Lakers were temporarily behind by one point.

It was the Thunder's round at this time. Westbrook slowly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Ball just received a pass from Su Tian and failed to make a shot. This gave the Thunder a chance to widen the point difference.

Westbrook faced Ball's defense, and suddenly broke through from the right side. Ball turned to chase, but was already far away, and Lopez under the basket also hurriedly returned to defend.

But Lopez also played a lot of time, and Lopez's pace was already slow, so he still couldn't catch up, and Westbrook dunked directly.

107-110

Westbrook was very emotional after the hit and couldn't help but roar loudly.

The fans at the scene were also driven by Westbrook's momentum. After all, this is the home court of the Thunder, and there are many Westbrook fans.

But Su Tian remained calm and urged his teammates to serve quickly.

Su Tian received the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. George followed Su Tian closely. However, after reaching the frontcourt, Su Tian did not rush to attack, but slowed down.

Just when George thought Su Tian was waiting for his teammates to get into position, Su Tian suddenly broke out again, quickly completed the breakthrough and went straight to the basket.

George's center of gravity had not been fully adjusted at this time, and Su Tian easily broke through and distanced himself.

But Adams, the Thunder's inside player, is a very good player. He returned to the basket in time and did not give Su Tian a chance to directly layup.

At the same time, Anthony on the side also let go of Randall and came towards Su Tian from the left. Su Tian did not pause, but he also did not directly attack Adams.

Instead, he used his right hand away from Anthony to shoot a hook shot.

Su Tian's hook shot is inherited from Magic Johnson. Although Su Tian does not have Johnson's height and wingspan, there is no one to guard him at this time, and his shooting rate is still efficient.

Swah——

Su Tian's hook shot hit directly.

109-110

There were only 30 seconds left, and the Lakers were still one point behind.

The ball was given to the Thunder again, and Westbrook slowly advanced with the ball.

Su Tian followed closely behind Paul George, who kept running. Visible to the naked eye, beads of sweat fell from George's body one by one.
