NBA’s aging star system

Su Tian hit a three-pointer as soon as the game started, taking the lead first.

3-0

When the ball was transferred, Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball and reached out to call his teammates to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Curry carried the ball to the basket. When he came to the basket for a layup, he unsurprisingly attracted the help of thick eyebrows.

Curry resisted the interference of thick eyebrows and shot for a layup.

Bang——shua——

Basketball hit the board.

3-2

"This game was full of energy from the beginning. It was only the first round, and the core players on both sides started to show their strength." Barkley said.

The ball returned to the Lakers again, and this time Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and made a breakthrough directly.

Curry's defense has improved a lot compared to a few years ago, but it is still somewhat weak when faced with breakthroughs like Brunson's cannon.

Brunson pushed through Curry's defense and headed toward the basket, attracting Green's defensive double-team halfway.

Before the double-team was about to form, Brunson passed a ground-breaking pass to George outside the three-point line.

George caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

George made a solid three-pointer.

Seeing George hit a three-pointer, Su Tian was very happy and took the initiative to step forward and high-five George to celebrate.

6-2

Seeing George hit a three-pointer, the Warriors began to become restless.

The Warriors had the ball, and this time Curry successfully attracted the Lakers' defensive attention with his offensive threat, and then passed the ball to Klay outside the three-point line.

Clay caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

boom--

But it is a pity that Klay hit a three-pointer due to George's defensive interference.

The thick eyebrow turned and got stuck, collected the rebound, and quickly passed the ball to Su Tian who was making a fast break.

Su Tian received the ball and rushed directly to the front basket. Facing the empty basket, Su Tian dunked with both hands.

boom--

8-2

The Lakers' lead became more and more obvious, and the Warriors began to take more three-pointers.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors, led by Curry, barely maintained their pursuit of points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers already led 33-25 by 8 points.

"Actually, it can be seen from the previous two games that it is still difficult for the Warriors to gain an advantage when facing the Lakers. The performance in the first quarter of this game was vivid." Barkley said.

"Indeed, the Warriors basically didn't have any offensive advantage against the Lakers in this quarter." Kenny Smith also nodded in agreement.

At this time, Cole looked at the 8-point difference in a single quarter and was still a little unwilling to give up. He was writing and drawing on the tactical board.

Several main players such as Curry and Clay still maintain good fighting spirit, but others like Poole and Wiggins have begun to lose their fighting spirit or have lost their fighting spirit.

For the Lakers, Walton didn't make too many arrangements, just arranged regular personnel rotation.

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

For the Lakers, Su Tian and Nongmei took a break, and George led the team. For the Warriors, Clay took a break and Curry led the team.

Originally, according to the first two games, Curry was not an opponent of the Lakers when he led the team alone.

But sometimes, when a shooter comes to feel it, nothing can stop him from hitting the shot.

Under Brunson's defense, Curry hit consecutive three-pointers. Even when he hit the next two three-pointers, Nunn had already stepped forward to help defend and double-team.

Halfway through the second quarter, the score difference had been tied, and Walton reached out and called a timeout.

"Su, Curry's performance during this period is too dangerous. On the defensive end, you need to help more and pay more attention."

"Okay coach, don't worry."

Soon, the game continued, and Su Tian and Nong Mei came on the field to replace George and others.

Su Tian took over the team's ball as soon as he came on the field and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Clay's defense, Su Tian called on his thick eyebrows to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, using the pick-and-roll to hold the ball and drive towards the basket.

But when Su Tian was halfway through holding the ball, Su Tian passed the ball to Nong Mei again.

The thick eyebrow catches the ball and takes a two-point shot.

Swah——

A long two-pointer and a solid hit.

"Sure enough, it takes these two to stabilize the Lakers' situation," Barkley said.

"No, no, no, don't be too happy first, let's think about how to defend Curry's next attack." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, the ball possession on the court changed, and Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

In fact, in order to relieve Curry's offensive pressure, Cole has also brought Clay up. However, Clay's performance in these games has been relatively poor, and it is difficult to show the previous deterrence.

After arriving in the frontcourt, it was Su Tian who was responsible for defending Curry.

Curry also knew the advantages and disadvantages of Su Tian's defense, so he did not plan to take action directly. Instead, he chose to call his teammates to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of pick-and-roll cooperation, Curry initiated tactical cooperation with the ball.

Under Curry's deliberate guidance, Clay ran out of an open opportunity and Curry quickly passed the ball to it.

Clay caught the ball and there was no one in front of him.

Clay knew that his choice at this time was extremely important, so he took a deep breath, adjusted his shooting posture, and took a three-point shot.

The basketball flew high and drew a perfect arc in the air.

In the end, the arc hit the net.

Swah——

A hollow three-pointer.

"Yes!" Clay shook his fist fiercely.

Cole on the sidelines also pumped his fist.

Obviously Cole also knows that Klay's ability to hit this three-pointer is of great significance. This means that Klay's shooting threat has been realized, and the Lakers no longer dare to double-team Curry unscrupulously.

In the following rounds, Dort indeed chased Clay even tighter, not daring to give any more room to make a move.

The defensive pressure on Clay's side will increase, and relatively speaking, the defensive pressure on Curry's side will become smaller.

Curry also took this opportunity to continue to increase his offensive threat.

But with Su Tian's defense, Curry's combat effectiveness was very limited, and the point difference was still widened bit by bit.

At the end of the second quarter, the score difference reached 6 points again.

The game entered halftime.

"I have to say that the Warriors' counterattack in the second quarter was very fierce. This was not only the strength of Curry, but also the contribution of Clay and others." Barkley said.

"It's true. If the Warriors want to win this game, it's impossible to rely on Curry alone. It can only rely on the joint efforts of the entire Warriors team." Kenny Smith said.

In the Warriors locker room at this time.

"Guys, this game so far still has a lot of opportunities! We must seize the opportunity in the third quarter!" Cole said loudly.
