NBA’s aging star system

The 2020-2021 regular season is over, and the Lakers' regular season record is fixed at 65 wins and 17 losses.

Although this record has declined compared to the previous two seasons, it is still the undisputed number one record in the league.

The Jazz, who ranked second in the league, only had 59 wins and 23 losses, still far behind the Lakers.

After the record is determined, the top eight in the Eastern and Western Conferences are also determined.

At this time, the league has not yet set up play-offs, so the previous competition system is still followed.

On the east side, from first to eighth.

Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Washington Wizards.

On the West side, from first to eighth.

Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors.

As you can see from this list, whether it is the Eastern Conference or the Western Conference, this year's playoffs are quite interesting.

The Warriors, the former champion team, have just reached the threshold of the playoffs this year.

Although this has the impact of injuries, it can also be seen that the competition in the Western Conference is fierce.

The Lakers' opponent in the first round of the playoffs was also the former championship team, the Golden State Warriors.

The end of the regular season naturally also represents the finalization of the regular season data list.

The competition on this year's list is equally fierce, but Su Tian, ​​as the number one player in the league, still achieved excellent results.

苏天常规赛期间场均数据为33.2分12.9助攻8.2篮板3.1抢断1.1盖帽。

In fact, compared to previous seasons, Su Tian's average data per game this season has declined.

But even though Su Tian's statistics have declined, he still leads the league in scoring, assists, and steals! !

Winning three data titles! And this isn’t the first time!

Su Tian had accomplished similar feats before.

So at this time, Su Tian did something similar again. Although it still attracted many reporters and media, it was much less than before.

And the current Lakers will indeed not accept too many media interviews. After all, the war is imminent, and the entire Lakers team is working hard to win three consecutive championships.

So taking advantage of the rest and adjustment time in the past few days, the Lakers organized internal training tasks and tactical drills within the team.

Although the Warriors' current lineup is not complete and their competitiveness has begun to decline, it is no surprise that no matter who encounters the Warriors in the playoffs, it is impossible to ignore him.

So after several days of adjustments and tactical drills, the effects gradually emerged, and Wharton's frown at the beginning turned into a nod and a smile.

Time soon came to May 5, and the playoffs started on time!

The Lakers game was not scheduled for the first day, but the second day.

So Su Tian took the opportunity to watch the Clippers game first.

The Clippers' opponent in the first round was the Nuggets.

Although the current Nuggets are not as strong as the Nuggets who later won the championship, they are still considered a rare strong team in the West.

What's more, the Nuggets' inside advantage is absolute. Even the Clippers still can't take advantage in the paint.

Su Tian originally thought that this game would be more intense, but he never expected that the Clippers would burst out with strong fighting power in the playoffs.

Tyronn Lue directed the Clippers and played the defensive counterattack tactics that James is most familiar with.

So the Nuggets' advantage inside instantly turned into a drag, and Jokic couldn't run at all.

Su Tian stopped watching after watching half of the game, because the result was already determined and there was no need to watch anymore.

The final result of this game was indeed as Su Tian predicted. There was no more disturbance in the second half, and the Clippers also won this game.

The next day, May 5, the Lakers' playoffs began.

The protagonist of yesterday's Staples event was the Clippers. The two superstars James and Leonard relied on their appeal to fill the arena.

Today, when the Lakers were playing at home, there were so many people at the scene that it was impossible to leave.

After all, not only the Lakers and Su Tian have a lot of traffic, but even the Lakers' opponents, the Warriors, have a huge amount of traffic!

Facing the Warriors, Walton also attached great importance to it. After completing all the pre-game rituals, Walton came to the bench.

"Guys, the wonderful journey of the regular season is over, and what follows is a very cruel war-like playoffs! And our opponent in the first round is the former super king! We must not be careless!"

Following Walton's reminder, the game time gradually came, and players from both sides began to take the field.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is Brunson, Su Tian, ​​George, Kuzma, and thick eyebrows.

The starting lineup for the Warriors is Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Green, and Rooney.

A whistle blows and the game begins.

Nongmei made a leap to take the lead and took the lead. Brunson got the basketball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Because this was the Lakers' first playoff game and the first offense, Su Tian had to stabilize the team's morale first, so Su Tian directly reached out for the ball.

Brunson saw this and passed the ball quickly.

Su Tian received the ball and directly faced Clay's defense. Clay's defense was very serious and strict. Obviously Clay also knew the importance of this first attack and was competing for the momentum of the game.

Su Tian did not dribble in a hurry, but instead tested with three threats. Seeing that Clay was unmoved, he quickly broke through from the right side.

Clay quickly turned around to follow Su Tian, ​​and continued to fight with his body.

Don't underestimate Clay. In fact, Clay has very strong physical fitness and is very powerful in the lower plate.

The two were fighting against each other while walking to the basket. Just when Su Tian was about to approach the basket, Green suddenly let go of Kuzma and double-teamed Su Tian.

Green thought that as soon as his double-team came, Su Tian would definitely pass the ball.

But he didn't expect that Su Tian didn't do this, and instead shot directly.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball hits the rim and bounces into the net.

2-0

"Good shot! Su scored a goal right after the game started, giving the Lakers a good start." Barkley said.

"The game has just begun, Charles, don't rush to brag." Kenny Smith immediately joked.

The ball changed and it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Brunson's defense, Curry directly held the ball and called Green to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of Green's pick-and-roll, Curry held the ball and headed toward the basket.

Brunson is also very fast, but his sense of rhythm is not as good as Curry's, so Curry made a seemingly simple emergency stop and start and directly shook Brunson away, came to the basket and shot directly for a layup.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

Before the thick eyebrows who wanted to help defend arrived, Curry had already completed the shot.
