NBA’s aging star system

Su Tian successfully passed the ball and assisted Johnson to score a three-pointer. Leonard didn't have anything to do with Su Tian, ​​but there was something wrong with the way he looked at James.

"Ahem, Kawhi, it must have been an accident just now. Su rarely passes the ball in the fourth quarter. You believe me."

James' words were very sincere, and Leonard had no choice but to believe in James again.

The ball was transferred, the Clippers attacked, and James came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Perhaps to make up for Leonard, or perhaps because Leonard had a matchup advantage, James passed the ball directly to Leonard.

Leonard got the ball and faced Johnson's defense.

The Clippers' first attack in the fourth quarter was James' shot against Su Tian, ​​which ended in failure.

Now this is the Clippers' second offense, and Leonard is also very cautious and does not dare to have any surprises.

So Leonard reached out and called his teammates to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to initiate a breakthrough with the ball.

Johnson was delayed by the pick and roll, but quickly got around and chased Leonard again.

Before Leonard came to the basket, Johnson finally caught up with Leonard again and interfered defensively, but Leonard relied on his more stable shooting movements to shoot the basketball steadily.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball bounced off the backboard and into the net, and the Clippers' second attack finally worked.

The point difference returned to 11 points.

"The Clippers have responded somewhat, but unfortunately now the point difference has reached double digits. I don't know if the Clippers can catch up with the score before the end of the game." Barkley said regretfully.

"There should still be a chance. It's only 11 points. As long as there is a scoring climax, the score difference can be evened out in an instant." Kenny Smith said.

Barkley nodded this time and said: "Indeed, Kenny, you are right, especially in today's fast-paced basketball with more three-pointers, an 11-point difference really only requires a scoring climax."

"But, Kenny, have you ever thought about why so many teams rarely have a scoring climax in the fourth quarter when they play against the Lakers?"

Barkley's words seemed to directly wake up Kenny Smith.

"Hey, yes, I have broadcast so many Lakers games, and it seems that no team has had an explosive performance against the Lakers in the fourth quarter. No, Lillard of the Trail Blazers has! No, then Without Su, we are not a complete Laker."

Kenny Smith muttered to himself for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that no team could achieve a scoring climax when facing the entire Lakers!

"So, why is this? Charles, do you know?"

Buckley shook his head slightly, then nodded.

"I can tell a little bit, but I'm not sure. It's known to all that Su Tian is in very good shape in the fourth quarter and can often play a dominant role, but few people have discovered that it's not just Su, but also other members of the Lakers. The fourth quarter will also improve, especially when Su is on the court, but because Su shines so brightly, no one notices it."

Kenny Smith is obviously not very convinced by Barkley's statement. After all, it's okay to say that one person can break out at a specific time, but if a group of people all break out at this time, it is difficult to use such far-fetched terms as good condition and good luck. Reason.

While the two commentators continued to chat and analyze, the game on the field was also going on at the same time.

The Clippers gradually opened up the situation with the help of Leonard's ball-holding attack, and the overall offense finally entered a normal rhythm.

On the Lakers side, with Su Tian and Nongmei, the team's offense is naturally not a problem. At the same time, Su Tian basically locked up James, allowing the Clippers to walk on one leg.

Even though Leonard's thighs are thick and strong, he always walks on one leg, and sooner or later something will go wrong.

So after a few rounds, Leonard's physical strength declined, and the Clippers' overall coordination began to decline. Su Tian took the opportunity to help defend and steal, and launched a defensive counterattack tactic.

About halfway through the fourth quarter, the point difference was still maintained at about 12 points. At this time, Walton reached out and called a timeout.

"Okay, audience friends, now the decisive moment of this game is finally coming. I guess after this timeout, Walton will definitely bring out the entire starting lineup and directly win the game!" Barkley said confidently.

"Okay Charles, this is something everyone knows, so you don't need to guess." Kenny Smith immediately joked.

And Walton's choice at this time did not disappoint everyone. He chose to take the entire starting lineup and start the harvest game mode.

At the same time, the Clippers responded quickly and brought out their entire starting lineup.

The timeout soon ended and the game continued.

Both teams have made substitutions and adjustments, and both have used their entire starting lineup, but the improved strengths of the two teams are different.

In comparison, of course the Lakers' improvement is more obvious.

And the same is true on the field.

After the Lakers came up with the complete package, the gap between their strength and the Clippers became even wider.

Therefore, not only does the score difference not have a narrowing trend, but on the contrary, it continues to widen.

Su Tian faced James' defense with the ball, and easily completed the breakthrough with the help of a pick-and-roll with thick eyebrows. Then Leonard came to help defend, and Su Tian passed the ball to the open George.

George got the ball and attacked again with the ball, successfully attracting the Clippers to surround him, so George once again passed the ball to Su Tian, ​​who was cutting through the air.

Su Tian caught the ball and scored an easy layup.

"The Lakers' offense is too easy. Not only is the coordination tacit, but the consumption of the players is also very small, which is very detrimental to the Clippers." Barkley said.

And this was indeed the case in the next few rounds. The Clippers gradually could not withstand the Lakers' offensive, and the point difference between the two teams was like a natural chasm blocking the Clippers.

In the end, the Clippers failed to persist until the end and replaced the entire starting lineup 1 minute before the end of the game.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 122-105.

Su Tian scored 31 points, 15 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.

After the game, Leonard looked at James with something wrong.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, James vowed that Su Tian would not pass the ball, but the reality is that Su Tian sent a total of 6 assists in the fourth quarter.

After the game, Su Tian came to the center of the field and hugged James and others.

"LeBron, come on next time, I'm waiting for you." Su Tian said.

"Su, I will definitely fight back in the next game." James said seriously.

After greeting James with a hug, Su Tian then greeted Leonard.

"Su, your pass is very good." Leonard said expressionlessly.

Su Tian didn't have any special feelings when he heard Leonard say this, but James on the side trembled involuntarily when he heard Leonard say this.

After the game, Su Tian went to participate in the post-game interview.

"Su, what do you think of the Clippers' performance in this round?"
