NBA’s aging star system

The Lakers' preseason games are all over, and there are still four days between the start of the regular season.

Taking advantage of four days, Jenny organized a private party within the team and invited all the players, coaching staff and management.

Jenny's intention is obvious, she wants to use this party as an opportunity to let everyone get to know each other and express her concern for everyone.

At the party, Nongmei came to Su Tian.

"Su, Los Angeles is really nice. I like it here so much. Everyone's atmosphere is really great."

Seeing the slightly excited expression on his thick eyebrows, Su Tian also said with a smile.

"Yes, everyone is very friendly to each other. Anthony, since you like it here, then work hard with everyone to win this year's championship."

"Of course, that's for sure, the championship must be ours."

Time flies very quickly, and it’s October 10nd.

This day is the opening game of the NBA 2019-2020 season, and it is also the opening game of the Lakers. The Lakers will play against the Clippers at home and receive a championship ring.

When the Lakers arrived at Staples, the venue was already filled with spectators.

There were Lakers fans and Clippers fans at the scene, but in the end there were more Lakers fans.

At this time, Xiao Hua began to preside over the distribution of championship rings, and Su Tian was naturally the last one in line.

When Xiao Hua called out Su Tian's name, all the audience stood up and shouted Su Tian's name.

Looking at the fans at the scene, Su Tian couldn't help but wave and say hello.

On the Clippers bench, James looked at the much-anticipated Su Tian, ​​and his mind was filled with thoughts of himself three years ago.

"Three years, do you know how I have lived these three years? This time I want to get back everything I lost!"

Soon, the ceremony ended and the game began.

The Lakers still maintained their previous starting lineup, and the Clippers also chose the starting lineup from the previous game against the Lakers.

Before going on the field, James gathered his teammates together and wanted to say a few words to motivate them.

"Guys, this game is a closely watched game for the Lakers, and it is also our first official appearance this season, so use all your efforts to disrupt the Lakers' opening show!"

Due to James' status in the world, no matter whether what James said is true or not, at least everyone will give him face and respond to him.

But Leonard happened to be a man of few words. He didn't say anything and didn't show many expressions.

James looked a little embarrassed looking at Leonard's state, but he soon got over it, and players from both sides took the field.

Howard and McGee stood in the center circle. The referee threw the ball high, and McGee quickly took off and touched the ball first.

Su Tian got the ball and advanced directly to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt and facing Pope who was defending him, Su Tian directly asked everyone to pull away.

After pulling away, Su Tian continued to dribble the ball, then changed direction and directly broke through.

Just two steps in, Pope has not caught up yet, and Howard on the inside has just started to step forward to help defend.

At this time, Su Tian's position was extremely wide, so he immediately stopped and took a jump shot.

Swah——

Su Tian made a steady shot.

"Su hit a jumper as soon as he came up. He really didn't give the Clippers any face."

"Su's condition seems to be maintained well, and the off-season has not been wasted."

"Yes, there seems to be a reason why superstars are superstars."

"This perseverance alone is beyond the reach of many people."

Su Tian announced his return with a pull-up jumper right from the start, and James of the Clippers was naturally not far behind.

Beverley advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. James reached out directly for the ball, and Beverley passed the ball directly to it.

James got the ball and faced George's defense. Instead of attacking directly, the three threats tried to start.

George and James are also old rivals. James has been suppressing George since the East. Now in the West, the two are facing off again.

Therefore, George is also very clear about James' methods, and he is also very experienced in defending.

For example, now, it seems that James is a triple threat, but George has actually taken a step back.

Sure enough, after the three-threat test, James used the cover of his teammates to directly break through and rush to the basket.

But now the Lakers' basket is different from last year. Now the Lakers' basket has two strong men in McGee and Big Eyebrow.

James' layup was interfered with by Big Eyebrow and McGee, and the basketball was forged.

McGee turned around and grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to George, who passed the ball to Su Tian again.

At this time, Su Tian did not choose to attack with the ball, but directly threw the ball forward.

At this time, the audience at the scene realized that Brunson had already started a fast break in front.

Su Tian's pass was also accurately passed in front of Brunson. Brunson got the ball and succeeded in a three-step layup.

4-0

The Lakers' start was brilliant, and the Lakers fans at the scene even shouted slogans unconsciously.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

"Defend the title! Defend the title! Defend the title!"

James and Leonard naturally heard the shouts of the audience, and their expressions inevitably changed.

The Clippers organized an attack again. This time Leonard took the initiative to ask for the ball, and Beverley passed the ball to it.

Leonard got the ball and faced the thick eyebrow defense. Instead of attacking, he called Howard to step forward to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Leonard held the ball to attack and broke through. The thick eyebrows quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll. McGee also let go of Howard to double-team Leonard.

Just when the double-team between the two was about to take shape, Leonard made an emergency jump shot.

At the same time, Nongmei and McGee also jumped up and stretched out their arms to interfere.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the rim, but luckily bounced into the rim.

The Clippers finally started scoring, and the Clippers fans breathed a sigh of relief.

A lineup that was finally assembled during the offseason. If this does not produce the desired results, it will be really difficult for the Clippers to rise again.

But in the next few rounds, the gap between the Clippers and the Lakers was still very obvious. Half a quarter passed and the two sides entered an official timeout.

Taking advantage of the timeout, the two sides began to make substitution adjustments. Only Su Tian and Nongmei were left in the Lakers' starting lineup, and Nongmei moved to the fifth position.

After the Lakers' lineup was adjusted, the overall lineup became more flexible, and Su Tian also appropriately increased the proportion of his shots.

The cooperation between Su Tian and Nongmei has become more and more tacit. At the same time, due to the effect of "big boss", the more tacit cooperation between the two, the closer the relationship between the two is, and the better the effect of the badge.

At the end of the first quarter, the score reached 33-27, with the Lakers leading by 6 points.

In the second quarter, Su Tian and Nongmei took a break, and Brunson and George came on to lead the team.
