NBA’s aging star system

In the next few rounds, Su Tian held the ball and played a few singles. Although the hit rate was good, he still seemed stretched in the face of a double-digit point difference.

One minute before the end of the game, the point difference was still double digits, and Walton directly called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced the main lineup and brought in substitute players.

Immediately afterwards, the Warriors also made substitutions and won the main lineup.

In the end, the game ended, 96-108, and the Warriors won the battle of Tianwang Mountain!

Su Tian scored 35 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Although Su Tian was given special attention by the Warriors, he was still the Lakers' best player.

"Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals is over, but the series is not over yet, and the Lakers still have a chance," Barkley said.

"Yes, the Lakers still have a chance, even if the hope is slim, but as long as there is still a chance, you can't give up." Kenny Smith immediately followed.

The reason why the two said this was not because they really thought the Lakers had a chance, but because the cameras were on and they had to give some hope to the Lakers fans in front of the TV.

Otherwise, the ratings will definitely drop.

After Su Tian finished cleaning up, he followed Walton to the post-game interview.

As soon as Su Tian arrived at the interview site, the reporters on the scene began to pick up the microphone and rush to ask questions.

After the staff calmed down for a while, the scene returned to calm.

"Hello Su, the Lakers are now 2-3 behind. Do you think the Lakers still have the possibility of victory?"

The first question was relatively normal. Su Tian adjusted the microphone and said, "Of course, although the Lakers are behind, the series is not over yet, and the Lakers still have a chance."

Immediately afterwards, the second reporter stood up and asked: "Su, what adjustments have you made for this game? Are they effective?"

After the reporter asked, Su Tian turned to look at Wharton beside him.

Walton had no choice but to pick up the phone and reply to the reporter.

"We did make some adjustments in this game. We were trying hard to strengthen the connection between Su and his teammates, but obviously, the Warriors' defense was better, and the effect of our adjustments was not very good."

Then Su Tian answered a few more questions, and the post-match interview was considered over.

After the end, Su Tian returned home and couldn't calm down for a long time thinking about this game.

The Lakers had a chance, if, if they could get another ball-holding spot.

The next day, August 5th.

The sixth game of the Eastern Conference Finals began. This time the two teams came to Quicken Loans Arena, and James also ushered in a big explosion.

109-99, the Cavaliers defeated the Celtics by 10 points, bringing the score back to 3-3, and the series entered a tiebreaker!

詹姆斯全场拿到46分11篮板9助攻3抢断1盖帽，拿到全场最佳的准三双数据。

The Eastern Conference Finals entering the tiebreaker will undoubtedly give Lakers fans some confidence, and they are looking forward to being dragged into the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker.

However, things did not develop as everyone expected.

On May 5, the Lakers came to Golden State again and faced the Warriors away from home.

In the sixth game of the series, Su Tian not only has to pay attention to Curry and Durant, but also to guard against Klay's sudden explosion. After all, Su Tian also knows the name of G6 soup.

The starting lineups chosen by both sides are still five small lineups, and it is still the Warriors who take the lead.

In the first attack, Curry came to the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Curry hit a three-pointer directly, and then Durant started to play again. The two attracted most of the Lakers' defensive pressure.

At this time, what Su Tian was most worried about happened. Pope, who had played against Clay for several consecutive games, suddenly couldn't keep up with Clay. Clay broke out and hit consecutive three-pointers.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors already led by double digits.

During the halftime break, Walton was in a daze with his tactical board, because at this time Walton didn't know what he was going to say that would be useful.

In the second half, Su Tian went directly to the game with the main lineup, and the Warriors also played five small lineups.

This time, Su Tian deliberately switched to defend in front of Clay, hoping to stop the crazy Clay.

But unexpectedly, Clay smiled slightly and hit two three-pointers directly against Su Tian's defense.

At this time, Su Tiancai truly realized what despair was. It was precisely because Su Tian knew that he had "defensive shock" to restrain his shooting that he became desperate when he saw Klay's performance like this.

If Clay can attack at this level against his own defense, then the effect will be explosive against others.

At the end of the first three quarters, the point difference reached 17 points, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the Lakers lost.

Su Tian continued to play in the fourth quarter. In the third quarter, Su Tian played a full game and suffered from severe physical exhaustion. In the fourth quarter, Su Tian replenished some energy, but still did not return to perfect condition.

In the first few rounds of the fourth quarter, Su Tian hit consecutive shots, which shocked Cole into a cold sweat, and Cole quickly called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Warriors sent out their entire main lineup. Obviously, Cole wanted to make the final decision directly.

After the main force of the Warriors came on the court, Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, passed the ball directly to Green, and then started running around the whole court.

Curry's movement successfully attracted the Lakers' defensive attention, so Green took the opportunity to pass the ball to Clay and also set a screen for Clay.

Clay caught the ball and shot directly.

Swah——

Klay hit a three-pointer directly, and Klay's condition is still hot.

The ball changed and it was the Lakers' turn to attack. Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Naturally, Iguodala is still defending Su Tian, ​​but at this time, in order to better defend Su Tian, ​​Durant on the left and Green on the right are ready to help defend against double teams at any time.

So at this time, the Warriors seemed to be defending Su Tian alone, but in fact they were double-teaming the entire team!

But Su Tian had no choice but to let his teammates pull away and start singles against Iguodala.

After continuous dribbling misdirection, Su Tian broke through with the ball.

Su Tian had just broken through Iguodala's defense when Green and Durant came up to double-team him. A three-person double-team circle was immediately formed.

At this time, Su Tian had no suitable space or opportunity to take action, so he had to pass the ball to Randall, who was left open on one side.

After Randall received the ball, he shot a three-pointer directly.

boom--

The intensity of the game at this time, coupled with Randall's own nervousness, made the shot a direct hit.

Durant turned around, grabbed the rebound, and started a fast break with the ball.

Su Tian turned around to chase. Durant saw this and passed the ball directly to Curry.

Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball and directly chased for a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian watched helplessly as the basketball hit the net. At this moment, Su Tian felt that the Lakers' defeat was imminent.

Su Tian still tried his best in the next few rounds, but the final result did not change.

102-113, the Warriors defeated the Lakers by 11 points, with a score of 4-2, and successfully advanced to the finals!
