NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 434: Defeat the Warriors and advance successfully! (page 12)

7-3

Su Tian successfully returned a three-pointer to the opponent, and the Lakers' overall momentum rose again.

Next, it was Curry who still advanced with the ball. After a period of tactical transmission of the ball, Curry still had the right to take the shot.

It's just that this time Curry was unlucky. He threw the ball and Kuzma grabbed the rebound and passed the ball directly to George.

George got the ball and turned around for a fast break, attracting a double-team from the Warriors' defense, and once again passed the ball to Brunson who was running in front.

Brunson received the ball and made a layup directly.

9-3

In just a few rounds, the Lakers' score advantage was already very obvious.

The next few rounds were basically a repeat of these rounds, with the Lakers maintaining their lead on the court.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Warriors by 31 points 22-9.

"Okay, now the first quarter is over. The Lakers are leading by 9 points and will soon reach double digits." Barkley said.

"It's true. The Warriors' performance in the first quarter was not very good. Whether it was offense or defense, it felt very different from the previous Warriors." Kenny Smith said.

"It's actually understandable. After all, we are now 0-3 behind. This series is basically over. The only thing left to resist is the pride of the Warriors." Barkley said.

"It's not so much the pride of the Warriors, but the pride and fighting spirit of Stephen Curry." Kenny Smith said again.

"Yes, I didn't expect Curry to have such a huge energy hidden in his small body."

With the explanations of the two commentators, the inter-section break ended quickly and the second quarter began.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' starting lineup made normal adjustments. Su Tian and Nong Mei rested off the court, while George led the team on the court.

The Warriors also made adjustments. Poole and other substitutes came on, and Wiggins and Clay led the team.

Facing Wiggins and Clay, George seemed very calm. Whether he was organizing the team or attacking with the ball, he was very calm.

After just a few rounds, the point difference between the two teams was widened to 13 points, and it continued to widen.

Halfway through the second quarter, Su Tian and Nong Mei came on the court again, and by this time the score difference had reached 15 points.

Seeing Su Tian play, the Warriors' Cole quickly made adjustments and brought Curry on the court.

After Curry came on the court, he did improve the team's offense, but unfortunately, the improvement on the Lakers' side was even greater.

Before the second quarter was about to end, Nongmei suddenly ushered in a wave of outbursts, hitting consecutive hard shots at the basket, and the point difference directly reached more than 20 points.

When Curry wanted to use a super long three-pointer in the final attack, Su Tian suddenly appeared to help defend and interfere.

boom--

Basketball strikes, and the point difference is fixed at 22 points.

"The point difference was only 9 points in the first quarter, and in the second quarter the point difference was widened to 22 points. Well, this is acceptable." Barkley said with a hint of helplessness.

"Well, after all, the gap between the lineups of the Lakers and Warriors is not small, so this result is normal." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, not only the two commentators, but also the audience at the scene and in front of the TV thought so.

Everyone seems to be used to the Lakers winning.

But at this time in the Warriors locker room, Curry was not very willing.

"Coach, it's getting late, let's start planning the tactics for the second half." Curry looked at Cole with bright eyes and said.

"Stephen, do you still want to play in the second half?" Cole asked uncertainly.

"Of course! Coach! Don't give up until the last moment of the game!" Curry's answer was decisive.

At this time, the determined Curry and the hesitant Cole seemed to form a sharp contrast.

But in the end, Cole was persuaded by Curry.

"Yes Stephen, you are right, we shouldn't give up yet."

"Then let's take a look at the tactics for the second half. Everyone, come over. We still have a chance in the second half."

As Cole spoke, he picked up the tactical board next to him and began to write and draw on the tactical board.

At the same time, the Lakers locker room was also discussing tactics for the second half.

But compared to the Warriors, the Lakers' overall enthusiasm is very high.

"Su, the Warriors' offensive focus in the second half is still on Curry, so you must pay attention to assisting and interfering at any time." Walton said word by word.

Su Tian nodded seriously and said nothing.

After making arrangements for Su Tian, ​​Wharton began to emphasize the key points for other players.

"George, you need to better connect the team and lead the team's rotation period. I believe Wiggins alone cannot stop you."

"Don't worry, coach, it's not a big problem."

With the tactical arrangements in the locker rooms on both sides, the halftime ended and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, both teams chose their starting lineups, and it seemed that the two teams had no intention of relaxing at all.

"It seems that the Warriors still want to resist! I just don't know how long this energy can last." Kenny Smith said.

"It's hard to say. Sometimes the game is played with a spirit. If this spirit is gone, then the game will be a win. On the contrary, as long as the team still retains this spirit, then the game will be a win. There’s still more to fight,” Barkley said.

At this time, the game on the court began. The first ball possession of the third quarter was given to the Warriors. Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Curry directly reached out and called Green to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of pick-and-roll cooperation, Curry holds the ball and drives towards the basket.

Curry's breakthrough with the ball unsurprisingly attracted the Lakers' double-team defense. Brunson and Kuzma all headed towards Curry, and the thick eyebrows inside were also ready to move.

So to be on the safe side, before the double-team was formed, Curry passed a pass to Green who was left open at the top of the key.

When Green got the ball, he was in a perfect open position, but Green did not take a shot, but stayed in place.

Obviously, Green himself doesn't trust his three-point shot very much.

The hesitant Green finally passed the ball to Wiggins outside the three-point line.

There was not much time when Wiggins received the ball, so Wiggins had to catch the ball and shoot directly.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the rim and luckily fell into the net again.

"Ah, yes, what a good ball. I didn't expect Wiggins to be so reliable at the critical moment." Barkley said.

"What's reliable? I guess it's just good luck." Kenny Smith complained.

The ball was transferred and it was the Lakers' turn to attack. Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Su Tian directly reached out for the ball, and Brunson passed the ball to it.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Clay's defense, and also reached out to call his teammates for a pick-and-roll.
