NBA’s aging star system

James Harden, as a personal friend of Su Tian, ​​was of course watching the live broadcast of the Western Conference Finals.

Harden could clearly see the Warriors' change in strategy, but at this time Harden wanted to help but didn't know how, because Su Tian knew how to assist his teammates better than he did. After all, Su Tian was the assist king this season.

"The Warriors are really bad and very good at playing with their mentality."

During the Huo Yong War, Harden also knew that the Rockets could not rely entirely on three-pointers, but the Rockets could only rely on three-pointers to have a chance of survival.

This moment is exactly like that moment.

If the Lakers want to beat the Warriors, they must have Su Tian drive the team, but they cannot rely solely on Su Tian.

The Warriors, on the other hand, want to find ways to get Su Tian into a one-on-one fight, in order to weaken the coordination between Su Tian and his teammates.

I have to say that this is a different kind of humiliation for the regular season assist leader.

The inter-section break ended quickly and the second quarter began.

In the second quarter, the Lakers fielded a semi-main lineup, led by Ingram and Randall.

The Warriors also have a semi-main lineup, led by Durant.

In terms of personal ability alone, Durant is definitely better than either Ingram or Randall.

Without the leadership of Su Tian, ​​the Lakers as a whole do not appear to be a playoff team, full of loopholes in all aspects.

It only took Durant three minutes to complete the suppression of the Lakers, from being behind by 2 points to leading by 5 points.

Wharton didn't dare to be careless and quickly called a timeout.

"Coach, let me play instead." Su Tian stood up and looked at Wharton.

"But, okay." Wharton gritted his teeth and chose to respect Su Tian's choice, so he replaced Su Tian on the field.

"Viewers, I didn't see Su Tian get up and take off his coat. Is he getting ready to play again?" Barkley said in time when he saw Su Tian's actions.

"To be honest, I don't think it's a good thing to play at this moment. It's too draining for Su. If the Lakers don't have a second person to step up, then the Lakers' defeat can only be a matter of time." Kenny - Smith shook his head and said.

"But Su's physical reserves are still sufficient, right? Su can explode with greater energy every fourth quarter." Barkley immediately retorted.

"But as far as I know, the reason why Su was able to perform like that in the fourth quarter was because Su had been holding back in the first three quarters. Now if Su breaks out early, we will most likely not see that last quarter. King."

While the two were talking, the timeout ended and Su Tian stepped onto the court again.

After Su Tian came on the court, he directly took the team's ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

"Don't you want to see me play solo? Okay, then I'll let you see if you can pass the level alone."

After Su Tian came to the frontcourt, he looked for Randall to cooperate with the pick-and-roll. The Warriors did not double-team, but directly switched defenses, and Su Tian faced off with Durant.

Su Tian looked up at Durant, and immediately broke through after a change of direction.

Durant's center of gravity is relatively high and he cannot keep up well, but Durant's long hands and legs can still cover Su Tian's shooting space.

Su Tian broke through all the way to the basket, hit Durant with a fake layup, and then followed up with a back turn and a fadeaway jumper.

Swah——

Although the Kobe card he inherited was from Kobe in his twilight years, this back-up card is still very useful, especially since Su Tian doesn't use it often, and a sudden use of it will catch the opponent off guard.

Durant was also shocked by Su Tian's sudden move, but Durant was confident of finding his way back on the offensive end.

The ball changed, and it was the Warriors' turn to attack. Livingston came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Durant reached out directly for the ball.

After getting the ball, he faced Randall's defense and started a breakthrough directly.

According to Durant's playing habits, most of the time this ball will be a pull-up jump shot after breaking in. This is how Randall predicted it, but obviously this time Randall's prediction was wrong.

Durant's breakthrough posture was very fierce, and he directly shook off Randall with his second burst. After entering the basket, he collected the ball and took off, and dunked directly with both hands.

Durant successfully scored another goal, and it was a dunk.

This goal made the scene at Staples much quieter, and the atmosphere became depressing and tense.

But Su Tian was not affected by these, and continued to advance to the frontcourt with the ball. This time, Su Tian did not pick and roll, but directly broke through and then threw.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

In order to show his offensive ability, Su Tianzhen really used his eighteen martial arts skills, and various offensive techniques emerged one after another.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian started to perform, three-pointers, pull-up jumpers, hook shots, European steps, and low post plays.

Barkley couldn't help but marvel at the various offensive skills displayed.

"I have to say that Su Tian should have the most comprehensive offensive skills among the current players in the league."

"Oh? I don't see it that way. You have to know that there is also the offensive kaleidoscope of Cameron Anthony." Kenny Smith immediately retorted.

"Anthony? The Anthony who was eliminated along the way? Well, I admit that Cameron is indeed more mature, but he is already old, isn't he? Maybe he will leave the league in two years. By then, the league will It’s full of all kinds of three-pointers, and the only one you can really watch is Su Tian.”

With Su Tian's continuous efforts, the Lakers and the Warriors finally maintained the same score. The two teams repeatedly overtook the score. At the end of the second quarter, the Warriors only led by one point.

55-56

Su Tian once again scored 18 points in a single quarter and 39 points in the first half alone.

"Look at the statistics, man, you scored 39 points at halftime. Today may be a milestone for you." Randall said and handed the statistics sheet in his hand to Su Tian.

Su Tian was working hard to recover his physical strength at this time. Although he had played for such a long time in the past, most of this game was played in singles, and the amount of physical energy consumed was different.

Su Tian took the data sheet and saw his own data. He played 20 minutes in the first half and scored 39 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal.

I have to say that this number of assists is very dazzling to Su Tian. Of course, the scoring data is also very eye-catching.

Just as the game entered halftime, various basketball media began to call people to Staples.

"Quick, quick, quick! Su scored 39 points at halftime! This game is definitely big news!"

"Reporters and cameramen, be prepared! Also, we will come up with two plans for the post-game interview after the game, which will be done in 10 minutes!"

"No matter who wins this game, it will be our front page headline tomorrow. If the Lakers win, Su Tiantian will be awesome. If the Lakers lose, Su Tiantian will be cut off. No one will lack traffic."

"By the way, start preparing a press release for me now, 60 minutes, 70 minutes, 80 minutes, all of them!"

The news media was extremely busy, and Wharton was also anxious to get angry.

Su Tian is the foundation of the Lakers. Su Tian can't have problems with anyone, but now this situation can only be solved by Su Tian himself.
