NBA’s aging star system

Curry hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, showing his desire to attack right from the start.

The ball was transferred, and Brunson once again took the ball to the frontcourt. This time Brunson directed his teammates to run tactics and pass the ball to Su Tian.

As soon as Su Tian got the ball, the entire Warriors team started to get nervous, but Su Tian didn't stop the ball for too long, and instead passed the ball to the thick eyebrows at the basket.

The thick-browed man received the ball at the basket and relied on his height advantage to withstand Rooney's defense and score a layup.

With the thick eyebrows' physical condition, as long as he is stuck in the inside position, he basically catches the ball and goes straight in.

What's more, Rooney himself is really not good at defending players like thick eyebrows.

In the next few rounds, the two sides started a real showdown of strength, directly skipping the testing phase. After all, the testing was almost done in the previous game.

As a result, under the collision of hard power of the two teams, the point difference began to gradually widen.

After all, in terms of pure physical strength, the Warriors are not a match for the Lakers.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Lakers had already opened up a 6-point lead.

By the end of the first quarter, the point difference had been stretched to double digits.

The double-digit point difference is not very dangerous at the moment, but if the Lakers cannot catch up with the point difference and allow the Lakers to maintain this point difference until the end of the third quarter, this point difference will be fatal enough.

In the second quarter, the two teams rotated personnel. The Lakers naturally made normal personnel adjustments. Su Tian and Nongmei took a rest, and George and Brunson led the team.

As for the Warriors, because they wanted to maintain the momentum of chasing points, neither Curry nor Green took a break.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Curry beat Brunson with the ball and hit a throw from the basket.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers returned the favor. George and Brunson cooperated. George passed the ball to Brunson who was cutting through the air. Brunson caught the ball and scored a layup.

With the cooperation of the two, it was difficult for Curry to win alone, so he also began to cooperate with his teammates.

Under Curry's hard work, the score difference began to slowly creep, and it looked like it was going to get closer.

But the Lakers soon made adjustments. Su Tian and Nongmei came on the court, replacing George and others.

After Su Tian and Nongmei came on the court, the two frequently passed the ball and cooperated, directly destroying the Warriors' internal and external defense, and the point difference returned to double digits again.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers already led by 16 points, and the Warriors' hope of chasing points became increasingly slim.

Time entered the intermission, and both teams returned to the locker room.

"Kenny, what do you think of this game?" Barkley asked.

Kenny Smith looked at the statistics in his hand and said: "In this game, the Lakers showed a must-win mentality, and the Warriors have been working hard to resist, but so far the Warriors' resistance has not been effective. ."

"Indeed, they already led by 16 points at halftime, and the Warriors were under a lot of pressure." Barkley said.

In the Warriors' locker room at this time, Cole was still emphasizing tactical coordination in the second half.

"Our defense needs to be more targeted, our offense must be faster, and we need to increase our rhythm!"

Cole wants to increase the rhythm of offense and defense to increase the number of offensive and defensive rounds and make it easier to chase points.

At the same time, the Lakers' locker room is also adjusting the tactical coordination issues in the second half.

"Su, Anthony, you two need to dominate the team's possession in the second half. The team still has to attack with you two as the center."

"Paul, you control your physical consumption. The team needs you to be there for a long time in the third quarter and control your own physical loss."

Walton continued to emphasize every detail, and seemed to have more and more control over the game.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Warriors, and Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball.

In fact, Curry's physical exhaustion did not fully recover during the halftime break, but there was nothing Curry could do. After all, there is currently only one Curry in the Warriors who maintains a high level of offense.

After Curry came to the frontcourt, he called on his teammates to come forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to hold the ball and drive to the basket.

Just before the double-team with thick eyebrows came up, Curry was one step inside the free throw line and made a throw.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

"Yes, as long as the Warriors can keep scoring goals, they still have hope of chasing points." Barkley said.

The ball was transferred and Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball.

After Brunson came to the frontcourt, he passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and started as a triple threat. Then he made a quick change of direction and shook off Clay, holding the ball directly towards the basket.

The Warriors' basket is more open than the Lakers'. After all, thick eyebrows have three-point ability, and Rooney must follow the defense to the three-point line.

This gave Su Tian plenty of room to break through. Seeing that there was no obstacle to the path to the basket, Green had no choice but to give up Kuzma and turn around to double-team Su Tian.

Seeing Green coming to double-team, Su Tian was not surprised at all. He first made a fake pass to reach Green, then accelerated towards the basket again, pulled a small lever and scored a layup.

"Beautiful! Su's fake fax is so realistic. Not only Green was deceived, but I was also deceived just now!" Buckley couldn't help but say.

"Su's fake moves are indeed becoming more and more realistic. Of course, this is also related to his inherent threat in this regard." Kenny Smith said.

Kenny's words are still very pertinent. After all, your prayers will only work if you have the ability to shoot.

The next few rounds were basically a replica of the first quarter. The Warriors kept trying to catch up with the score, but were helplessly suppressed by the Lakers.

Halfway through the third quarter, the point difference had reached 20 points. Walton replaced Su Tian and Nong Mei and let George lead the team.

As for the Warriors, they were not only suffering physical exertion, but also mental suppression.

The pressure on the Lakers is too much. Veterans such as Curry and Clay are slightly better, but players like Poole and Bazemore have already found themselves unable to score.

After Su Tian and Nongmei came off the court, the Warriors launched another brief counterattack. Fortunately, they stabilized the situation under the leadership of George.

So at the end of the third quarter, the point difference remained at 18 points.

"Man, to be honest, seeing this point difference, I really think the Warriors have little hope." Barkley said.

Kenny Smith also shook his head at this time.

"The Warriors' hope is very slim, but I still hope that the Warriors will not give up hope. After all, there might be a miracle."

Although Kenny Smith said not to give up, in his own heart, he had already sentenced the Warriors to death.

At this time, on the Warriors' bench, Cole was still writing and drawing on the tactical board, obviously not giving up on the game.
