NBA’s aging star system

The day after the game against the Thunder, Su Tian slowly woke up from bed.

Yesterday's game against the Thunder seemed like the Lakers were suppressing them all the way, but in fact the Thunder's resistance was extremely fierce. If Su Tian hadn't continued his output, the Lakers would have overturned.

After waking up, Su Tian picked up his phone and read relevant news reports.

"The Lakers swept through two rounds to advance!" 》

"Count down the failed Big Three combinations over the years! 》

"The reason for the Lakers' success - Su Tian!" 》

"Su has booked this season's MVP"

"Su Tian actually showed up at the nightclub after the game and hugged the mysterious woman! 》

The previous reports are basically true. What the hell is this about showing up at a nightclub? Su Tian directly warned Lu Shihan without saying anything.

After reading the report about himself, Su Tiancai looked up the game between the Rockets and the Warriors that was held at the same time yesterday.

The fourth game of the Huoyong Battle was extremely fierce. The main players on both sides basically played the entire game. The Rockets also used a crazy 7-man rotation, which greatly consumed the Rockets' main players.

There are a total of 40 people from the two teams who have played more than 6 minutes. The Rockets are Paul, Harden, Ariza, and P.J. Tucker, and the Warriors are Durant and Green.

In addition, Curry and Clay both played 39 minutes, and their consumption was also not small.

In the first half, the two teams were evenly matched. In the third quarter, the Warriors went crazy. Yongsan went on the line and scored 34-17 in a single quarter, directly leading the Rockets by 10 points.

But I never expected that the Warriors' three-pointers suddenly failed in the fourth quarter. Curry made 2 of 0, Durant made 3 of 0, and Klay was 1 of 0. The team did not hit a single three-pointer in a single quarter.

This allowed the Rockets to seize the opportunity. Paul began to show his strength in the mid-range. Harden also broke into the inside and used the European step. Ariza and Round-faced Den also made their own contributions.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Warriors 25-12 in the fourth quarter, and the score was 95-92. The Rockets only won by 3 points.

The big score between the two teams came to a 2-2 tie, and the two sides entered the Tianwangshan battle.

Su Tian expected the Rockets' victory, but Su Tian did not expect that the process would be so thrilling. The Rockets were just a hair away from falling behind 1-3.

Fortunately, the Rockets won, so the Lakers not only have more time to rest, but also consume more of their opponents.

After turning off the phone, Su Tian touched his right ankle.

During the fourth quarter yesterday, Su Tian had already seen the "Iron Man" badge light up on the system panel, but because he was in the game, Su Tian didn't pay too much attention.

After the game, Su Cai Cai felt a faint pain in his ankle.

But fortunately, the "Iron Man" badge effect was triggered, and now there is only some swelling. Judging from the rhythm of the Rockets and Warriors, Su Tian can still catch up with the Western Conference Finals in full condition.

Su Tian took a short rest, and after thinking about it, he sent a text message to Harden.

"James, I have entered the Western Conference Finals and am waiting for you."

However, as soon as Su Tian's message was sent, he received a message prompt.

"You have been blocked by the other party."

Su Tian: "****,****."

"Forget it, this guy is not particular, don't care about him, wait until I get the MVP and then I will mock him."

Su Tianan rested at home for a whole day, and the Lakers also arranged a two-day holiday to allow the players to recover. After all, Huo Yong's posture was for the tiebreaker.

After the Lakers were confirmed to enter the Western Conference Finals, in the East, James also led the Cavaliers to defeat the Raptors 4-0 to enter the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics also led the team 3-1, and entering the Eastern Conference Finals is just around the corner.

The opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals have basically been determined, but the situation in the Western Conference Finals is still confusing.

On May 5, the fifth game of the Huoyong War began.

The Tianwang Mountain battle was very popular, and Su Tian also stayed in front of the TV to watch the game.

In this game, both sides maintained their previous starting lineups, but the Warriors' Iguodala suffered an injury and was unable to play.

The game soon started. Neither side felt very good in the first quarter. The Warriors made 6 of 1 three-pointers and the Rockets made 14 of 3 three-pointers. However, the Rockets were ahead in free throws, so at the end of the first quarter the Rockets were temporarily 23-17. Leading the Warriors.

In the second quarter, both sides entered the lineup rotation. After entering the lineup rotation, Curry suddenly began to show off his power, hitting three-pointers one after another without giving the Rockets a chance to react.

By the time the Rockets reacted, the Warriors had already caught up with the score and even completed the lead.

Not to mention the Rockets were confused at this time, even Su Tian in front of the TV was confused. What kind of thing is this? A few three-pointers, and then looked up, it was overtaken?

"He is indeed the best shooting talent in history, so terrifying."

So in the next few rounds, the Warriors, led by Curry, steadily suppressed the Rockets.

Halfway through the second quarter, Curry took a break and Durant came on to lead the team.

The Warriors lack Iguodala, and the overall offensive fluency is still a bit worse, especially Durant's ability to organize offense is not that outstanding.

However, although Durant's ability to organize offense is not strong, few people can match Durant's stand-up singles.

At the end of the second quarter, the score reached 45-45, and the two teams were tied.

The Warriors relied on Curry's extraordinary performance to survive the first half smoothly, which made up for Iguodala's absence. However, the side effect of this is that the Warriors may not be able to go crazy in the third quarter.

During halftime, in the Rockets locker room, D'Antoni also predicted this, so he approached the team's defensive coach to discuss it.

D'Antoni is an offensive master, but that doesn't mean he has no defensive sense, it just pales in comparison to his offensive skills.

According to the characteristics of the Warriors, the Rockets' coaching staff quickly arranged corresponding defensive tactics.

Soon, the halftime break ended and the two sides returned to the court again.

The Warriors still used five small lineups in the third quarter, but the overall lineup did decline compared to before.

Curry, Klay, Nick Young, Durant, Green.

The Rockets have the starting lineup, Paul, Harden, Ariza, PJ Tucker, and Capela.

A war between the two sides is about to break out.

After the start of the second half, the Warriors took the lead. Durant and Curry frequently cooperated, directly increasing the Warriors' shooting threat.

Turning around, the Rockets' Paul hit consecutive three-pointers, catching the Warriors off guard.

Just when the Rockets focused their defensive efforts on Curry and Durant, Clay suddenly exploded and also hit consecutive three-pointers.

At the same time, Harden's three-pointer failed, so he changed his style of play and began to attack the inside with the ball.

This change of play really allowed Harden to find a breakthrough, causing Green to foul twice in a row. Cole had no choice but to take Green off the court in advance and let Rooney step up and take the blame.

After the offense and defense on both sides entered the rhythm, they both performed differently, but the point difference between the two teams did not widen.

Halfway through the third quarter, both sides reluctantly began to make substitutions and adjustments. Neither the Warriors nor the Rockets felt that they had the effect they wanted.

After the substitutes came on the field, the point difference still did not change much, and the battle between the two sides still could not be decided.
