NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 309 Butler returns to Minnesota (page 12)

Ever since Su Tian had a helper, he was no longer afraid of double-team tactics.

In the third quarter, the Lakers still had the advantage in the battle with the Spurs. After half the third quarter, Su Tian took a break, and Butler and George continued to stay on the court to lead the team.

With Butler and George on the court at the same time, Su Tian can rest assured.

At the end of the third quarter, the score difference had reached 12 points.

"Su, I'll leave the rest to you." Wharton looked at Su Tian and said.

"no problem."

After finishing speaking, Su Tian came on stage with a group of substitutes.

The Lakers asked Su Tian to take the bench, but the Spurs did not dare to be careless. Popovich still arranged a starting lineup and a half, and the double-German combination was also on the court.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Spurs. Mills advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Aldridge inside.

Mills is also a very smart player. He knew that the Lakers' inside line was their weakness, so he gave the ball directly into the inside line.

After Aldridge got the ball, he directly started to play Wood on his back. Although Wood became more motivated at this time, defense cannot be changed in a day or two.

So after a series of back-ups, Aldridge turned over and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Aldridge hits easily.

Looking at Wood's defensive appearance, Su Tian shook his head slightly. Wood's defensive problems are not small and he needs to continue to hone his skills.

The ball was transferred and it was the Lakers' turn to attack. Brunson advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, everyone's attention turned to Su Tian. It was obvious that everyone knew that Su Tiantian was the leader of the team.

But at this moment, Brunson feinted a shot and directly broke through with the ball and rushed to the basket.

Brunson's breakthrough speed was so fast that Mills, who was defending, did not react at all. Aldridge on the inside wanted to help defend but it was too late, so Brunson succeeded in a layup.

"Good job!"

Seeing Brunson break through and score with the ball, Su Tian applauded in celebration.

"This little guy looks pretty good?" Barkley said.

"Indeed, in this situation, the sensitivity to detect opportunities is not something ordinary players can possess." Kenny Smith also agreed with Barkley's view.

"It seems that the Lakers' draft was very successful this time. Although the picks are not high, the quality is pretty good."

As the two talked, the ball possession transition was completed. Mills once again advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and once again passed the ball to Aldridge inside.

Aldridge repeated his old trick and started to hit Wood with his back, but as soon as the back hit started, Kuzma stepped forward and double-teamed him.

Aldridge passed the ball to Rudy Gay who was left open. Gay took the ball and shot a three-pointer without much thought.

The moment Guy took the shot, Su Tian's interference arrived, and Guy couldn't help but speed up his shot.

boom--

The basketball was a direct hit. Wood grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Kuzma.

Kuzma caught the ball and passed the ball to Su Tian again. After receiving the ball, Su Tian was about to hold the ball for a fast break, but found that Brunson had already rushed to the frontcourt, so Su Tian accurately shot a long pass to Bu. In front of Rensen.

Brunson caught the ball and made a layup.

The Lakers' defensive counterattack was successful.

"Beautiful, Su's pass is so beautiful, Brunson's fast break awareness is also very good, and his ability to seize opportunities is very good." Barkley said.

"Yes, and so far, Su has not made a move, and the Spurs seem to be unable to stop the Lakers' offensive." Kenny Smith said.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian began to gradually take over the ball, using himself as an arrow to lead the Lakers' bench to rush forward.

Although the Spurs are the main lineup at this time, they are powerless to parry. Especially DeRozan, as the Spurs' biggest signing this season, was suppressed by Su Tian when he faced off against Su Tian, ​​and he was unable to show any strength at all. .

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Walton called a timeout to make personnel adjustments and replaced the entire main lineup.

At this time, the Spurs had no better way and could only grit their teeth and continue to play the main force.

After the Lakers replaced the main force, the strength gap between the two sides became more obvious. After Su Tian had two All-Star level helpers, he started to attack with all his strength, directly defeating the Spurs.

One minute before the end of the game, the Spurs called a timeout, replaced the entire main lineup, and surrendered directly.

The Lakers did not rush to kill them all. They also replaced the main lineup and let the substitutes come on.

In the end, the game ended, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 121-101, and the Lakers successfully won the first 6 consecutive victories.

苏天全场拿到37分11助攻6篮板1抢断1盖帽,乔治全场拿到25分11篮板4助攻1抢断,巴特勒全场拿到21分5篮板5助攻。

All three players performed to varying degrees and easily led the Lakers to win the Spurs.

After the game, the three people were interviewed in a hurry, and then rushed to Minnesota without stopping.

The next game is the Lakers' away game against the Timberwolves, and it is also Butler's first game back with the Timberwolves.

Of course, because of Butler's deal, the Timberwolves currently have three former Lakers players on the team, Ball, Randle and Hart.

The Lakers arrived in a hurry, and Randall didn't have time to meet Su Tian for dinner, so everyone could only meet on the court.

The Lakers' starting lineup remains the same as before.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup has changed a lot, including Ball, Wiggins, Randle, Taj Gibson, and Towns.

Obviously, this is a lineup deliberately changed by the Timberwolves in order to effectively defend the Lakers' forward line. The bench also has two starting point guards in Derrick Rose and Jeff Teague.

After the Timberwolves' starting lineup changed, the starting lineups on both sides were relatively large.

Before the game started, Randall came to the Lakers bench and found Su Tian, ​​Walton and others to hug and greet them.

Along with Randall were Ball and Hart. Although the three were traded out, the relationship between the three and their Lakers teammates was still very good.

On the other hand, Butler and the Timberwolves are a different story.

Butler and the Timberwolves players ignored each other. Not only did they not look like old teammates, they looked more like enemies.

This strange scene at this time was also displayed in front of all the audience.

"Kenny, it seems that this game will be very interesting. I don't know if Towns and Wiggins will break out. Of course, I think Butler is more likely to break out." Barkley looked at Kenny beside him. - Smith said.

"Both Wiggins and Towns have extraordinary talents, but as Butler said before, their fighting spirit is obviously not that strong. It seems that they are just trying to complete their tasks."

If Su Tian were here, he would definitely agree with what Kenny Smith said. After all, the stadium official is not just talking.
