NBA’s aging star system

"Achieve the best record in history?"

Obviously, Su Tian did not expect the Lakers management to have such an idea.

"Yes, Su, you also know that we have always put the health of the players first, just to avoid the situation of the previous Warriors."

"But now our lineup is complete, and we know from the team doctor that everyone is in very good health. There are only a dozen games left, so we thought we might as well try to have an impact. What do you think?"

Su Tian did not answer Johnson immediately, but was still thinking with his head down.

Su Tian has always declared that he will not deliberately pursue results. On the one hand, he does not want to put pressure on the players, and on the other hand, he does not want to be framed by fans and media.

Once it is picked up by these media, it will consume a lot of money for the team.

"Okay, I agree, but don't announce it to the outside world. Just talk to the coach and a few key players. If it is too obvious, it will be easily targeted."

Su Tian finally compromised. Su Tian understood that 80% of the people who made this suggestion were Aunt Jenny, and it was difficult for Su Tian to refute directly. After all, she was the boss.

As soon as Su Tian said these words, Aunt Jenny suddenly smiled on her face.

"Don't worry, Su. Stars are the foundation of the team. I still know this. We will definitely put the health of the players first and it will never affect the playoffs."

Su Tian nodded, and the matter was settled.

The next day, when the team was training, Walton called over several of the team's main players.

"Guys, everyone has performed well recently. Everyone knows our regular season record this season. After discussions with the management, we have decided to strive for the best record in history. However, everyone must keep this matter confidential and do not announce it to the outside world for the time being. , I am telling you now because I want you to be prepared, and we will try our best to pursue victory in the following games!"

After Walton finished speaking, there were various expressions among the players.

Because Su Tian had known about it for a long time, there were no emotional fluctuations. George was slightly excited, and Butler also showed a very interested expression.

As for other players, some are worried that their playing time will be reduced, while others are very excited. After all, the opportunity to break the best record in history is not always available.

"Okay coach, we follow the team's arrangements."

"Great, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

"There is no problem with the coach, our lineup is complete, and we still have a great chance."

Walton looked at everyone's status and basically agreed, so he said: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, it's settled. Let's go back to training first, and we will talk about the specific adjustments later."

After Wharton left, George and Butler came to Su Tian's side.

"Su, that's great! This is the best record in history!" George looked excited.

"Yes, Su, this is a good opportunity. There are not many games left, and we really have a chance." Butler also continued.

Su Tian smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, this is a good opportunity, but you two must be careful not to play injured for the sake of victory. This time it will affect our championship."

"Don't worry Su, we all have a sense of propriety and we won't make fun of the championship."

"Yes, don't worry, Su. The championship is our first goal."

Butler and George obviously agreed with the team management's decision. After all, this is a mark that can leave a mark in NBA history.

On March 3, the Lakers played at home against the Brooklyn Nets.

In this game, Walton tried to increase the playing time of some of the team's main players, but because George and Butler were both excited, the score difference was already 20 points after the first three quarters of this game.

In the fourth quarter, Su Tian only played for 3 minutes before being replaced and rested.

In the end, the Lakers easily won 118-96.

On the 24th, the Lakers continued to play at home against the Kings.

114-100, no pressure to continue winning.

On the 26th, they played at home against the Wizards.

Wizards Wall was unable to play due to injury, but the Lakers won the game in three quarters and continued their winning streak.

On the 27th, the Lakers played back-to-back away games against the Jazz.

Because this game is an away game and back-to-back, the Lakers are under a lot of pressure.

It was not until the fourth quarter that Su Tian activated the "King of the Last Quarter" and took control of the field. One minute before the end, Su Tian activated the "Hand of God" to seal the victory.

In the end, the Lakers won the game 117-110.

This match was quite thrilling, but luckily Su Tiandou held it in check.

On the 29th, the Lakers returned to their home court again to face the Hornets.

Everyone who was well rested worked hard again. Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Hornets took the initiative to replace the main players and surrendered.

On the 31st, the last game in March, the Lakers played away against the Pelicans.

The thick eyebrows still did not play in this game, and the Lakers all felt on the line, winning the game 130-102.

On April 4, the Lakers came to Oklahoma and played away against the Thunder.

After the Thunder lost Paul George and Anthony, the team could only rely on Westbrook to support the team. The team's record declined and it has basically fallen out of the playoffs.

But even so, Westbrook still did not give up the game and still dedicated his performance to the fans in every game.

This kind of professionalism is something Su Tian admires, so Su Tian also showed his respect in this game and tried his best to defend Westbrook.

Under the offensive of the Lakers' Big Three, the Thunder simply could not stop it and eventually lost.

119-93, despite Su Tian's defense, Westbrook, as the star of the Thunder, still scored 20+ data.

After the game, Westbrook came to the Lakers' bench and found George and Su Tian.

After hugging each other, Westbrook said: "Su, I know what you are going to do this season. Come on, take my part and defeat the Warriors! Win the championship!"

Westbrook said it very seriously, and Su Tian also understood his inner reluctance.

"Don't worry Russell, the Warriors can't stop us."

After talking to Su Tian, ​​Westbrook turned to look at George.

"Paul, my good brother, I support your decision and hope you can realize your dream. Also, if you meet the Warriors, you will face that guy and defeat him! Then tell him that I don't actually hate him. , I just blame him, why didn’t he tell me all this.”

George and Westbrook looked at each other, "Don't worry, Russell, I will beat him."

After the game against the Thunder, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

The next game is very critical. George is also working hard to adjust his state and strive to be in his best state.

On April 4, the entire Lakers team came to Staples to face the visiting Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors currently have 53 wins and 24 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

After the last conflict broke out, the Warriors staged a soap opera for a while, but was eventually suppressed by Warriors officials.
