NBA’s aging star system

Su Tian's continuous scoring put a lot of pressure on the Warriors.

Originally, after Livingston hit the ball, Cole thought the situation would get better, but he did not expect that his performance would be worse in the next two rounds.

First, Klay missed a three-pointer, and then Iguodala's layup was interfered with.

But when the Warriors missed, the Lakers performed well in the past few rounds and scored consecutively.

So Cole could only call a timeout and replace Curry in advance.

At this time, the score difference on the court has reached 18 points, and there is not much time left. Curry has an arduous task.

After the two sides came on the court again, Curry took a three-pointer directly against Brunson as soon as he came up.

Swah——

Brunson still suffers a bit when it comes to defensive shooting.

But turning his head, Brunson took the ball and directly broke through Curry's defense, came to the basket, and made a layup, causing Curry's beater to foul.

Brunson came to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Su Tian took the initiative to give Brunson a high-five and express his encouragement to Brunson.

In the next few rounds, Curry's off-ball and on-ball combinations made him indeed hit a lot of shots, but at the same time, he also consumed a lot of physical energy.

At the same time, the Lakers' offense did not stop, and under the leadership of Su Tian, ​​it became more efficient.

Five minutes before the end of the game, the score difference was still hovering around 5 points.

"From my point of view, the Warriors are hanging. I'm not just talking about this game, but the entire series."

"Yes, but it's not like the Warriors have no chance. Kevin hasn't played yet. As long as Kevin comes back, the Warriors still have a great chance."

"It's a pity that Kevin's return date has not yet been determined. Before he came back, the Warriors were eliminated first."

At this time, the fans in the stands have already begun to discuss the next game, because the Lakers have too much advantage at this time, leading by too many points, and they have basically won.

Cole was so angry on the sidelines that his back teeth were almost broken, but it still didn't help.

At this time, Curry was already out of breath from exhaustion, and his shooting percentage dropped significantly.

One minute before the end of the game, Curry hit three consecutive three-pointers. Cole called a timeout and replaced all the main players.

Immediately afterwards, the main players of the Lakers also came off the court to rest.

In the end, the game ended. The Lakers won the game 118-100. The big score came to 2-0. The Lakers had an absolute advantage.

"Charles, it suddenly occurred to me that the Lakers haven't lost in the playoffs so far?" Kenny Smith suddenly said.

Barkley thought for a moment and said, "If you put it this way, it's true that the Lakers haven't lost yet. Could it be that Su wants to lead the team to recreate the OK combination that year?"

At this time, after saying this, Barkley and Kenny Smith simultaneously turned to look at O'Neal next to them.

O'Neal shrugged and said: "Look what I'm doing, it's difficult! Even the great Mr. Shaq didn't do it!"

"Shaq, do you think Sue has a chance?"

"Of course there is a chance, but he must survive the Warriors first. You must know that Durant has not played a game so far, and the Warriors have never been a complete lineup."

What O'Neill said still makes sense, but for Su Tian, ​​the result is the same.

After the game, Su Tian went back to rest immediately after the interview. This was quite a stretch for Su Tian. If Brunson and Butler hadn’t provided some help in the first half of the fourth quarter, Su Tian would have probably been even more tired. .

While Su Tian slept peacefully, the warrior's side was not so peaceful.

"Steve, what's going on with Kevin? Can he still play? Is he already well but deliberately not playing?"

"I really don't know about this, but the advice given by the team doctor is that it is best not to play."

"Don't play? The team is about to be eliminated! The three consecutive championships are about to be wiped out! Find a way, find a way to let Kevin play, at least keep the next home court first, otherwise we can go home 3-0. "

"Let me communicate again and see if I can persuade Kevin to come back."

"Or, you can find the team doctor and let the team doctor say that the problem is no longer serious and you can play."

"This, this is not appropriate. It is still very dangerous to fight with injuries. Let's explain it to Kevin first."

"Whatever you do, I don't care what you do, but you have to let Kevin come back, play, and win the next game!"

"I see."

On May 5, the day after the Warriors and Lakers ended their game, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals also started on time.

The opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals are the Bucks and Raptors, and this game is the Bucks' home court.

After the players from both sides entered the stadium, the starting lineup was announced.

For the Bucks, Bledsoe, Middleton, Mirotic, Antetokounmpo, Lopez.

For the Raptors, Lowry, Danny Green, Leonard, Siakam, Gasol.

Speaking of which, the two teams still have some similarities. For example, they both have a striker leading the team, and both have a certain three-point ability at the fifth position.

However, Xiaojia's defense is stronger than that of Daluo.

The game started soon, and Su Tian also watched the game on time.

The Raptors took the lead at the beginning of the game. Driven by Leonard, Siakam also scored a lot of points.

The Bucks were obviously affected by the Raptors' defense, and their overall performance was suppressed by the Raptors.

At the end of the first quarter, the score reached 34-23, and the Raptors led by 11 points in a single quarter.

The Bucks began to chase points in the second quarter, but with little success. However, Su Tian noticed that the Bucks' Brogdon performed quite well.

At the end of the first half, 59-51, the Raptors still led by 8 points.

"Judging from the current situation, the Raptors have a big advantage. However, the Bucks are not without opportunities. It depends on how they perform in the second half."

Soon, the third quarter of the game began. Su Tian originally thought that the Raptors would use their strength to widen the gap in the third quarter, but he did not expect that the Bucks kept chasing and even recovered by 1 point.

In the fourth quarter, the Raptors' performance suddenly fell off a cliff. Leonard only got 4 shots in the entire fourth quarter. If it weren't for Lowry's 3 3-pointers, the point difference would have been caught up by the Bucks.

But in the end, the Bucks caught up with the score 5 minutes before the end of the game.

At this time, the Bucks' burning fighting spirit began to counterattack the Raptors. On the Raptors' side, Leonard did not give any effective response.

In the end, the Bucks successfully overtook the score and defeated the Raptors 108-100.

The Bucks' comeback also reminded Su Tian that no team is weak so far in the playoffs and must be careful and cautious.

At the same time, the Lakers team came to Oakland.

The third game of the Western Conference Finals moved to Oakland. The Lakers had to prepare early, so they came a day early.

Su Tian, ​​who had just arrived in Auckland, didn't want to rest yet, so he found a gym to exercise.

But just after the game, the lights in the arena were turned off.
