NBA’s aging star system

Spoelstra's words made the Heat players' blood boil, although even without these words, the players knew that now was the best time.

After both sides adjusted their lineups, they took the field again.

For the Lakers, Walton considered the rotation according to the previous rotation. Su Tian and Nongmei temporarily took a break, and George and Brunson led the team.

For the Heat, Vincent is off, Herro is on, Claude is off, and Olynyk is on.

After simple adjustments, the Heat still maintain a high degree of competitiveness.

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

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat took the lead. Dragic and Herro scored consecutively, while Butler focused on defense. His contribution on the offensive end was somewhat less, but this mutual cooperation was more Good for the Heat.

With the cooperation of the Heat, the 4-point difference quickly caught up, and the scores of the two teams began to alternately rise.

"Huh? Charles, why are you sweating? Is the air conditioner not working well?" Kenny Smith couldn't help teasing him when he saw Barkley's nervous expression.

"Ah? Yes, no."

Buckley couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead while denying his nervousness.

"Well, yes, the air conditioner is not very effective. The equipment is a bit old and needs to be replaced."

While the two were talking, the situation on the court suddenly changed again. Hiero suddenly broke out and hit three consecutive three-pointers, directly leading the score.

The atmosphere at the scene was also directly detonated by the Heat's scoring climax, and the cheers at the scene were overwhelming.

When Walton saw something was not going well, he immediately called a timeout.

After calling a timeout, Walton hesitated whether to replace Su Tian in advance. The time was not over halfway yet. If he replaced Su Tian in advance, he would not be able to achieve the desired effect in the second half.

Just when Wharton was struggling, Su Tian took the initiative to ask for a fight, directly solving the coach's hesitation.

"Su, since you took the initiative to ask to play, I won't stop you, but you have to pay attention, you still need to play in the second half of the game, so be careful to allocate your physical reserves."

"Don't worry, coach, I know what's going on."

So Walton took advantage of the timeout to make substitutions and replaced Su Tian on the court in advance.

After Su Tian came on the court, he directly took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, facing Butler's defense.

"Jimmy, are you finally willing to defend me?" Su Tian teased with a smile.

In the first quarter, Butler never faced Su Tian and seemed to be avoiding Su Tian.

"Su, are you so anxious to be blocked by me?"

Butler was full of energy at this time, and naturally he didn't want to fall into a disadvantageous position.

Su Tian didn't pay attention to Butler's rebuttal, but reached out to call his teammates to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian held the ball and went to the basket.

Su Tian's speed is not slow, but Butler's speed is faster. Butler quickly bypasses the pick-and-roll and speeds up to catch up with Su Tian again.

Butler successfully caught up with Su Tian, ​​but failed to stop Su Tian. The two fought against each other while walking to the basket.

Su Tian saw the right opportunity and directly collected the ball and took the European step.

Because Butler had been teammates with Su Tian before, he was relatively familiar with Su Tian's European step. But just when Butler thought he had taken the initiative, Su Tian suddenly changed his move and shot a throw.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball hit the backboard and successfully bounced into the net.

Su Tian stabilized the situation with a goal, but at this time the Lakers were still 4 points behind.

The ball was transferred to the Heat, and Dragic came to the frontcourt with the ball, still looking for Hiero to cooperate.

But just after Dragic broke through with the ball, Su Tian successfully intercepted the pass.

After Su Tian intercepted the ball, he ran straight to the frontcourt with the ball and launched a fast break.

Butler followed Su Tian closely. The distance between the two was not far. The two came to the basket in the frontcourt one after another. Just when Butler thought Su Tian was about to take a layup, Su Tian A pass was passed directly behind the two people.

At this time, George, who was behind the two, caught the ball and dunked directly with both hands.

It turned out that when the two ran to the frontcourt basket one after another, George was also following closely behind the two. With Su Tian's passing vision, he naturally saw George's movements, but Butler did not pay attention. arrive.

When Su Tian succeeded in assisting, he didn't forget to mock Butler.

"Jimmy, how about it! This is the strength of the league's assist leader and steal leader!"

"Hmph, just so-so."

In the next few rounds, with the help of Su Tian, ​​the score difference between the two teams gradually smoothed out, and the scores of the two teams returned to the same level again.

As the second quarter passed halfway, the Lakers made substitution adjustments again, and the combination of Su Tian and Nongmei came on the field.

After Nongmei came on the court, Su Tian began to transfer the team's main offensive responsibilities to Nongmei's hands.

The Heat also gradually felt that they were struggling.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers had already completed the lead. Although they were only ahead by 3 points, the situation on the court had been reversed.

By halftime, Barkley was back to his confident self.

"Hey, Kenny, what do I say! I just said there is no problem with the Lakers' strength!"

"Charles, that's not what you were like just now! Besides, the Lakers are only ahead by 3 points now. I advise you not to be happy too early!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! My confidence in the Lakers is unimaginable!"

While the two were bickering, the game was also being discussed in the locker rooms of the two teams.

On the Heat's side, Spoelstra is still boosting the Heat's morale. After all, this game is indeed a rare good opportunity.

"Guys, pay attention. In the second half, the Lakers will definitely put the main offensive force on Sue and Davis. Jimmy and Adebayo, you two have to pay attention. You two have a heavy defensive task in the second half!"

After Spoelstra's words fell, Butler and Adebayor also nodded at the same time. Obviously, they also knew that the situation in this game until now was hard-won.

At the same time, the Lakers are also emphasizing their tactics in the second half.

Walton looked at the tactical board and then at the players sitting in the locker room.

"Okay guys, our current situation is not that optimistic. Although it seems that we are still in the lead, the Heat can catch up at any time. You must not take it lightly. Now let me lay out the tactics for the third quarter. .”

"In the second half, our offensive focus is still on Su and Davis. George, please pay attention to conserving your energy. The team will still need you in the second half of the third quarter."

Su Tian and Nongmei nodded at the same time.

The locker rooms of the two teams seemed to be looking in the mirror at this time, and the two main players of the two teams all nodded involuntarily.

Soon, the halftime break ended, players from both sides took the field again, and the third quarter began.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Heat. Butler held the ball and came to the frontcourt. George took the initiative and took the initiative to defend Butler.
