NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 357 The resurgent Raptor! (page 12)

At this time, the game on the court has been played for several rounds, and the Lakers have a clear advantage.

It wasn't until the official timeout that the Raptors had time to take a breath. At this time, only half of the first quarter had passed, but the score difference had already reached 8 points.

The Raptors are in a very sluggish state, not just Leonard and Lowry, but others as well.

At this time, Nurse looked at the players on the bench and shook his head helplessly, but still started to make substitutions according to the previous arrangement.

As for the Lakers, Walton saw that the Raptors had no intention of resisting, so he also made personnel adjustments in advance. Vincent and Wood came on, replacing Ingram and Nance.

After the game started again, Su Tian saw that VanVleet came on to replace Lowry on the Raptors' side, but Leonard was still on the court.

As soon as VanVleet came on the court, he came to the frontcourt with the ball. He glanced at Leonard and found that Leonard did not take the initiative to ask for the ball. He started to hold the ball by himself and wanted to beat Vincent alone.

VanVleet still has a lot of desire to attack. Facing Vincent, he burst into the paint and looked full of momentum.

But when he finally took the shot, he was interfered by Vincent and missed.

After the ball was transferred, Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball and also glanced at Su Tian.

Su Tian thought about it and didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball. Instead, he motioned to Vincent to play it himself.

Vincent seemed very excited after receiving the permission, so he began to lower his center of gravity and his eyes became serious.

Immediately afterwards, Vincent saw the opportunity and immediately launched a breakthrough after changing direction.

Vincent's speed is better than VanVleet, VanVleet did not follow up, and Vincent went straight to the basket.

According to the Raptors' defensive arrangement, Gasol should have stepped forward to help defend at this time, but Gasol was not in good condition and his reaction was also a beat slow.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

"Well done! Man!" Su Tian smiled and applauded Vincent to encourage him.

When Vincent saw his boss applauding him, his mood immediately soared, and his self-confidence also increased.

In the next few rounds, the protagonists on the court became VanVleet and Vincent, the two undrafted players.

Because the Lakers had Su Tian's control of the court, the point difference not only did not narrow, but continued to widen.

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

“I didn’t expect that this Vincent would be okay!”

"That's right, look at VanVleet on the opposite side. He looked good in the Eastern Conference before, but now in the finals, he is being beaten like a dog."

"That's not entirely true. Didn't you see that when Van Fleet was attacking, Su was interfering?"

"Is that considered interference? Just raising your hands in front of him. It doesn't seem like there is any defensive pressure at all. I think raising your hands to interfere is just to give him face."

"Sudu knows how to help Vincent, what is Leonard doing? Why doesn't he help VanVleet?"

"There's nothing strange about this. I just feel like I'm going to lose anyway, so I don't play seriously anymore."

There was a lot of discussion after the first quarter, but obviously there was nothing good to say about the Raptors. Even the Raptors fans at the scene were disappointed with the Raptors.

The Raptors have finally reached the finals. Even if they lose, they will still die standing!

But looking at the current Raptors, they all look listless, which is really disappointing.

At this time, Nurse stood in front of the Raptors players.

"How's it going? Did you hear it? Did you hear what these fans said about you?"

"You are all experienced veterans. Now this little setback is going to defeat you?"

"I know you are all unwilling, but isn't the game over yet? Why don't you give it a try? If you don't fight hard, you'll be playing like shit here!"

"Okay, I won't say anything more about the next game, but if you still think you are a man, go up and give me some momentum! We can lose, but we can't lose so spinelessly!"

Nurse's call made the players on the bench stunned. The specific effect is unknown, but it is obvious that everyone is now out of the previous state of confusion.

Soon the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began.

The Raptors still have the previous substitution strategy, retaining half of the starting lineup.

For the Lakers, Butler and George came on the court to lead the team, and Vincent also came on the court.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers asked Vincent to serve as an attacker, while Butler and George dominated the ball.

Generally speaking, the Lakers' side has not changed much. On the other hand, the Raptors' side's performance is completely different from the first quarter.

After playing several rounds in a row, Su Tian saw something was wrong.

"Coach, are the Raptors recovering again?"

Walton nodded solemnly and said: "It looks like this. Leonard has hit hard shots in two consecutive rounds. His state is completely different from the first quarter. Even the state of the Raptors teammates off the court is different." It’s different.”

After Walton finished speaking, Su Cai Cai noticed that the Raptors players sitting on the Raptors bench were different from those in the first quarter. Their faces were no longer numb and silent, but seemed to have returned to the first quarter of the Finals. A game full of fierceness and hard work.

"Coach, why don't we call a timeout to adjust."

Walton nodded, stood up and signaled a timeout to the referee.

"It seems that the Lakers responded quickly." Barkley said.

"Indeed, the Raptors have just started to gain momentum. It is estimated that the point difference will be pulled back after this timeout." Kenny Smith said.

In the few minutes that Su Tian was not on the court, the Raptors scored consecutively and the point difference returned to 7 points.

At this point, Walton gathered the players together.

"Everyone, listen up. The Raptors' morale has returned for some reason. You must not let down your guard! Next, we will increase the intensity. Su, come on."

After some adjustments, the game continued.

Su Tian returned to the court and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. At this time, Danny Green was responsible for defending him.

Su Tian faced the defense and switched from dribbling to under-crotch dribbling. Green unknowingly moved his defensive focus. Su Tian saw the right opportunity and broke through the defense line with an explosion.

Su Tian carried the ball all the way to the basket. Leonard tried to help defend and jumped up to try to block the shot.

Su Tian took advantage of the situation and used the lever to dodge, and made another layup.

Bang——shua——

Basketball hits easily.

Seeing Su Tian making great achievements as soon as he came on the field, Wharton was silently relieved.

The Lakers have finally gotten here, and they can't let anything happen because of the last tremor.

The ball was transferred, and Leonard advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing George's defense, Leonard called his teammates to pick and roll, using the pick and roll to break through.

But just when Leonard stopped for a jump shot, Su Tian suddenly appeared from the side, and a big hand directly covered Leonard's view of the shot.
