NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 398 Lakeship Game 3, Rivers’ adjustment and compromise (page 12)

Su Tian also saw Butler's interview.

Obviously, when Su Tian heard Butler say those words, he knew that this old guy wanted to play psychological warfare with the young people like the Celtics.

Even though Stevens is in charge of the Celtics at this time, he still cannot stop the thoughts of the core players.

Especially Jaylen Brown and Tatum.

Kemba Walker knew when he came here that he was not the leader recognized by the team, these two young players were.

Not to mention Smart, although he works hard and defends well, he lacks offensive talent and is still not a core player recognized by the management. He doesn't even know when he will be traded away as a bargaining chip.

As for who is older or younger between Tatum and Brown, the Celtics team has not yet fully determined.

Even the greedy Anji wants a dual-core team so that the two stars can live in harmony.

But now facing a 0-2 deficit, coupled with Butler's remarks, perhaps the Celtics' internal conflicts will break out in advance.

At this time, the Celtics' management were all worried, but they still couldn't think of any suitable solution. They could only use some emergency public relations measures, but they could not really solve the problem itself.

But Su Tian no longer paid attention to these things, because two days later there was the third game between the Lakers and Clippers.

But it's good news that the Lakers don't have to travel back and forth.

The online series about the Clippers and Lakers is optimistic about the Lakers' overwhelming advantage.

"The Clippers' good situation in the second game was ruined in the end. I really don't know how the Clippers are going to win."

"But if you think about it, doesn't it mean that the Clippers still have the opportunity and power to resist?"

"If you ask me, the Clippers simply failed in the hands of Rivers!"

"No, the advantage of the Lakers is still too obvious. A battle of this level still depends on high-end combat power. It is a fact that the combination of James and Leonard cannot beat the Big Three of the Lakers."

"The third game is probably going to be 3-0. I feel like the Lakers might be undefeated and win the championship again this year!"

"No matter how bad the Clippers are, they should be able to win a game, right?"

"It's difficult, every game is difficult!"

Time flies, two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the third game of the series between the Lakers and Clippers is about to begin.

In the past two days, the Lakers did not waste time, but focused on the Clippers for defensive training.

Soon Su Tian and others arrived at Staples.

Although the last game was also here, it is no longer the home court of the Lakers, but the home court of the Clippers.

Looking at the Clippers logo on the field, Su Tian couldn't help but smile.

"Hey Paul, do you think the audience for this game was more Lakers or Clippers fans?" Su Tian smiled and looked at Paul George.

George was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why, you want to compare the number of fans at someone else's home stadium?"

"Hahaha, tell me, who do you think has more fans?"

"Okay, I would say, we are still the Lakers hahaha."

After saying that, George and Su Tian looked at each other and smiled.

Soon, the time came for the game. Su Tian made a special observation when he came on the court. Don't tell me, there really are more Lakers fans!

George on the side also obviously discovered this situation.

"Su, since there are so many of our fans here, we can't let them down."

Su Tian nodded and said, "Of course, Staples is the Lakers' territory."

As soon as Su Tian finished speaking, the referee threw up the basketball in his hand, and McGee jumped up to seize the initiative.

Brunson got the ball, advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and faked a pass to attract Beverley's attention.

Immediately afterwards Brunson faked a breakthrough, took the ball and accelerated directly to complete the breakthrough.

Brunson was very fast and came to the basket first and shot directly for a layup.

Leonard, James, and Zubac on the side were too late to help defend.

Swah——

The basketball went into the basket smoothly.

"Okay, the first point of this game was actually scored by Brunson. This should be Beverley's defensive error, but Brunson's ability to seize opportunities is really strong." Barkley said.

At this time, the possession of the ball on the court changed. Beverley came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball to James.

James faced Su Tian with a triple threat, but after seeing that Su Tian was motionless, he still reached out and called his teammates to step forward to pick and roll.

James used the pick-and-roll to hold the ball and drive toward the basket, but as soon as he reached the free throw line, he was entangled by Su Tian again.

But after playing two games, James has gained some experience. He quickly turned his back and protected the ball in his hand to avoid being stolen.

Then he started to play from behind and drilled inside step by step, but the effect was not good.

Before the attack time was about to end, James finally turned around and made a jump shot.

At this time, James was only one step forward from the free throw line.

boom--

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bumped two people on the rim before falling into the net.

2-2

"LeBron also made a hit, but Su did not lose his position on this shot. It seems that LeBron is lucky." Kenny Smith said.

James's luck is indeed good. Even James himself did not expect that the ball hit. Su Tian even heard James say "good luck" when the ball hit.

The ball returned to the Lakers' hands again. Brunson passed the ball to George this time. George faced Leonard's defense and directly called his teammates to run tactics.

The offense and defense of the two teams also entered a normal battle. The Big Three of the Lakers performed normally, and the Clippers also wanted to replicate the lead they had in the previous game.

It's a pity that the Clippers took the lead in the last game because of their extra performance from beyond the three-point line.

But this time everything returned to normal for the Clippers, so naturally it was impossible to replicate the effect of the previous game.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 6 points.

"Currently, the performance of both sides is within our expectations. The Lakers' performance is too stable and they rarely make low-level mistakes." Barkley said.

"Yes, that's right. The Lakers played steadily, while the Clippers did not have the same magical performance as in the last game. The score is now expected." Kenny Smith said.

In the second quarter, both sides played again after substitutions and adjustments.

As in the previous game, James still led the team in the rotation time, while Leonard stayed to deal with Su Tian.

While the game on the court was in full swing, far away in Miami in the East, Butler was also paying attention to the game.

At this time, the entire Celtics team has arrived in Miami, and the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals is already around the corner.

Butler shook his head and sighed while watching the live broadcast on TV.
