NBA’s aging star system

Cole focused his defense only on Su Tian, ​​not because he didn't know the interests of the other two giants, but because he had no choice.

The current Warriors team cannot take care of so many aspects and can only focus on Su Tian alone.

At the same time, the Lakers.

"The Warriors now are no longer the Warriors before. We only need to keep an eye on Curry. Remember to double-team in time!"

Cole and Walton both chose the tactic of double-teaming the opponent's core in a very tacit understanding.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

Both sides also chose their starting lineups in the third quarter. The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Warriors, and Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball.

This season Curry has added a lot of ball-handling offenses, especially when facing some players who are not very good at defending, such as this game.

Curry held the ball and faced Brunson's defense. He first dribbled continuously to mobilize Brunson's defensive focus, and then broke through with an explosion.

Brunson's flexibility is indeed worse than Curry's, so he can only quickly change his focus to catch up.

Just when Curry took two steps to the basket and was about to collect the ball for a layup, the thick eyebrows suddenly appeared to help defend and double-team.

The timing of the appearance of thick eyebrows is just right. It would be difficult for ordinary people to make adjustments, but Curry is still Curry after all.

In desperation, Curry had already collected the ball and took off, so Curry twisted his waist in the air and passed the ball to Rooney who was left open.

Rooney rarely has offensive tasks in the Warriors' formation, but at this time Rooney was in the best position, so he shot from close range.

Swah——

Basketball hits steadily.

"Oh, what a ball, Rooney actually has this ability." Barkley looked very surprised.

"It's not a big deal, maybe it's just a coincidence," Kenny Smith said.

At this time, the ball was transferred and Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball.

This time Su Tian took the initiative to ask for the ball, and Brunson quickly passed the ball to it.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Clay's defense. He first tested the triple threat and took a half step forward. Clay's reaction was a little too nervous and he immediately took a step back.

Seeing Clay retreat, Su Tian was not polite and immediately took his foot back and shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

"Beautiful! Good shot! He hit a three-pointer as soon as he started. It was a blow to morale," Barkley said.

At this point, both sides have scored a goal, and the second half of the game has completely begun.

In the next few rounds, both teams showed their best form, but the Warriors' offensive performance was still somewhat lacking compared to the Lakers.

Not even halfway through the third quarter, the point difference had already been stretched to 12 points, and Cole directly reached out to call a timeout.

"Guys, everyone has realized how difficult the Lakers are. Now we don't have much time. If we can't get the point difference back before the end of the third quarter, we will be very passive in the fourth quarter!"

Taking advantage of the timeout, Cole continued to encourage the team and once again arranged corresponding tactics to chase points.

As for the Lakers, Walton chose to make substitutions after looking at the point difference and the team's status.

Su Tian and Nong Mei left the game early to rest and prepare for the fourth quarter.

George, Brunson and others came on stage to lead the team.

The timeout soon ended, and when Cole saw that Su Tian and Nongmei were not on the court, he instantly realized that the Warriors' opportunity had come!

After the game started again, the Warriors followed Cole's arrangements and began to launch their own offense.

As for the Lakers, although Su Tian and Nongmei are no longer here, the Lakers led by George still cannot be underestimated.

For a while, the score difference between the two teams was deadlocked.

It wasn't until Curry hit two consecutive three-pointers that the point difference began to slowly narrow.

However, the Lakers' offensive was also very fierce. Until the end of the third quarter, the point difference was still 6 points.

At this time, Curry was already exhausted and sweating profusely. He was sitting on the bench wiping the sweat from his body. It was obvious that he had exhausted too much physical strength.

On the Lakers side, George was also very tired, but Su Tian and Nongmei, who were going to play, were full of energy and physical strength.

"The Warriors are quite tenacious. At the end of the three quarters, the point difference was only 6 points. I have to say that the Warriors are still very promising at this time." Barkley said.

"It is true, but the point difference is too small. Both the Warriors and the Lakers are actually more dangerous." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, on the Warriors bench, Cole looked at Curry in front of him and felt heartbroken, but Cole had no one available.

The performance of Jordan Poole, Bazemore and others in this game was completely unable to share the pressure on Curry, and their performance was far inferior to that of Dort and others of the Lakers.

Soon, the inter-section break ended and the fourth quarter began.

There is no doubt that the fourth quarter is the Lakers' strong period, but the Warriors are going to be in trouble.

On the Lakers' side, Su Tian and Nongmei led the team on the field, but on the Warriors' side, Cole arranged for Curry to take a break and let Wiggins and Klay play, hoping that the two could hold up a little longer. .

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Lakers. Dort advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Wiggins' defense.

Su Tian and Wiggins are also old rivals, but Su Tian has grown so fast that few people remember that Wiggins was the top pick in Su Tian's draft.

Facing Wiggins' defense, Su Tian made a quick double change to get away from the defense, and drove straight to the basket with the ball.

Wiggins turned around to chase, but his speed was indeed too slow compared to Su Tian. He could only watch as Su Tian scored a layup.

The score difference came to 8 points.

The ball was transferred, and Poole came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball to Clay.

Clay received the ball and immediately made a gesture to shoot. After attracting Nunn's defense, he passed the ball again to Poole who came to the bottom corner.

Poole in the bottom corner caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

Dort did not lose his position in this ball, and Poole forced the shot against Dort.

Swah——

But sometimes luck is so willful.

Poole luckily hit a three-pointer. Cole on the sidelines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. No matter how the goal is scored, as long as it can be scored, it is a good goal.

The ball was given to the Lakers again, and this time Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Su Tian faced Wiggins' defense. After a breakthrough, he retreated to the three-point line again, stepped back and shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian directly returned the three-pointer just now.

"Pool's three-pointer can only be regarded as luck, but Su's three-pointer is serious strength." Barkley said.

"At present, it is difficult for the Warriors to score, and it is also difficult to stop the Lakers from scoring." Kenny Smith said.
