NBA’s aging star system

Su Tian was very fast. Although James immediately turned around to pursue him, he was still no match for Su Tian.

Su Tian quickly came to the basket with the ball and dunked with both hands before Morris' double team arrived.

4-2

"Beautiful! Su completed the breakthrough against James in one step. Su's breakthrough is getting sharper and sharper." Barkley couldn't help but admire.

When Su Tian returned to defense, he looked at James and said with a smile: "LeBron, be faster next time, you are too slow."

Su Tian knew that he was hated by others for his appearance at this time, but this was Su Tian's purpose.

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

This time James advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, James faced George's defense, first testing with a triple threat, and then directly holding the ball to break through.

George knew James' methods very well, so he took a good position in advance and blocked James' route with all his strength.

James originally wanted to force a breakthrough with his stronger body and greater strength.

But time is not forgiving, and George still blocked James near the free throw line.

Just when James couldn't advance or retreat, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Leonard cutting towards the basket, so James immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Leonard who was cutting.

Leonard caught the ball and directly attacked the frame. Before the defense with thick eyebrows came up, Leonard made a layup.

4-4

"The Clippers relied on the tactical cooperation between the two super giants to score a wonderful goal." Kenny Smith said.

"James staggered a little just now, but he still passed such a good pass. It seems that cutting off James' passing route is still the top priority." Barkley said.

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

After Su Tian came to the frontcourt, James automatically defended in front of Su Tian.

"LeBron, you almost walked just now. Can you do it?"

While talking trash, Su Tian kept moving his hands, continuously crossing the ball to mobilize James' defensive focus.

At the moment when James was distracted, Su Tian quickly broke through.

Just when James wanted to turn around and pursue him, he turned around and ran directly into the pick-and-roll wall.

So Su Tian drove directly towards the basket.

Leonard on the side immediately let go of George when he saw this, and came to double-team Su Tian.

When Su Tian confirmed that Leonard changed his focus and double-teamed, he immediately passed the ball to George outside the three-point line.

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

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

7-4

In the first few rounds, both sides relied on their superb skills to perform well and have good shooting percentages.

Overall, it looks like both sides are equally matched.

In the next few rounds of the first quarter, both sides showed more prowess, and the score difference never changed much.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers temporarily led the Clippers by 32 points 29-3.

"As expected, both sides performed very well in the first quarter. Such high-quality offense and defense seemed to be a real pleasure." Barkley couldn't help but said.

"Indeed, the performance of both sides in the first quarter was evenly matched, and the Lakers did not show an obvious trend of crushing. I can even predict that this game will reach the final decisive moment!" Kenny Smith said.

At this time, on the benches of both sides, the head coaches of both sides were also making arrangements for the second quarter.

"If nothing goes wrong in the second quarter, Sue and Davis will take a rest. During this period, the Lakers' combat effectiveness will drop a lot. This is a good time for us to overtake the score!"

After so many years of experience, Tyronn Lue is no longer the rookie head coach who only knew one set of tactics. Now Tyronn Lue can long ago be on his own.

At the same time, Walton on the Lakers side is not idle either.

"The Clippers' tactical intention is actually very simple. It's nothing more than letting Leonard and James take turns leading the team. Paul, you need to work harder during the opening period of the second quarter. You should pay more attention."

George looked at Wharton and nodded.

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

In the second quarter, both sides followed the previously scheduled tactics. For the Lakers, Su Tian and Nongmei rested off the court, while George, Brunson and others led the team.

For the Clippers, James is resting off the court and Leonard is leading the team on the court.

After the game started, George and Leonard faced each other throughout, but neither of them had the responsibility of being the team's main attacker.

Brunson and Kuzma are responsible for the main offensive responsibilities on the Lakers side, while Reggie and Kennard are on the Clippers side.

The first possession of the second quarter was given to the Clippers. Reggie came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Brunson's defense, Reggie reached out and called his teammates to step forward to pick and roll.

Using the pick-and-roll, Reggie directly launched an offense with the ball, but Brunson was also very fast and immediately turned around and followed.

While the two were fighting and advancing, Kuzma ran to help prevent interference.

So Reggie had no choice but to give up the shot and pass the ball to his teammates.

But Kennard, who was receiving the ball at this time, was not in a good position, but time was running out, so he could only take a three-pointer.

boom--

After a three-pointer, McGee turned around to collect the rebound and passed the ball directly to Brunson.

Brunson got the ball, turned around and went straight to the fast break without thinking about passing the ball.

Brunson was very fast and had a sharp breakthrough, so before the Clippers' defense had fully recovered, Brunson quickly broke through to the basket and shot directly for a layup.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

Brunson made a beautiful defensive counterattack at the beginning of the second quarter. Su Tian, ​​who was sitting off the court, couldn't help but applaud Brunson in celebration.

The ball was once again given to the Clippers. This time Reggie was obviously much more cautious, and carried out complete tactical cooperation and movement with his teammates.

After the basketball passed back and forth, Kennard ran out of an open opportunity and Reggie quickly passed the ball to it.

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

Swah——

This time Kennard lived up to the Clippers' hopes and hit a three-pointer.

"It seems that the Clippers' bench strength is also very good."

"That's for sure, otherwise we wouldn't have reached the Western Conference semifinals."

"Don't tell me, the Clippers really have some strength. Not only can the starting lineup compete with the Lakers, but now the bench lineup can also compete with the Lakers."

"The Lakers are well known for their strong bench. The Clippers' bench can perform well, and I think it can be attributed to head coach Tyronn Lue."

"Yes, Tyronn Lue does have something."

In the next few rounds, the substitute lineups of both sides exchanged moves continuously. Although Leonard and George also had rounds with the ball, they served more as the team's organizational points.

Halfway through the second quarter, Su Tian and Nongmei returned to the court, and the Clippers also made adjustments. James came on to replace Leonard.
