NBA’s aging star system

The Clippers came up with such a competitive lineup, and there is no doubt that they want to overtake the score in the second quarter and open up a certain point difference.

Although Walton had already predicted it, the effect still depends on the performance of the players on the field.

The first possession of the second quarter was given to the Clippers, and Reggie advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After Reggie came to the frontcourt, he directly reached out and called his teammates to come forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Reggie directly held the ball to launch an attack. Brunson turned around to avoid the pick-and-roll and chased Reggie again.

The two came to the basket one after another. Reggie pushed past Brunson who was defending and shot directly for a layup.

Bang——shua——

Reggie's first attack hit him directly.

"The first shot of the second quarter was actually made by Reggie. I originally thought it was Leonard who scored," Barkley said.

"Of course, it's not that I look down on Reggie, but I didn't expect the Clippers to still insist on team play. I thought the Clippers would return to their original superstar ball-holding style." Barkley quickly explained.

At this time, the ball was transferred to the Lakers, and Brunson advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After Brunson came to the frontcourt, he also did not pass the ball, but stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to pull away.

After all his teammates were in position, Brunson started to play Reggie singles with the ball.

Reggie's offense is good, but his defense is also relatively poor.

Brunson first continuously dribbled left and right to mobilize Reggie's defensive focus, and then Brunson broke through directly from the right side with an explosion.

Reggie's reaction was relatively quick, but Brunson's speed was obviously better. After the two came to the basket, Brunson reached for a layup.

Reggie originally wanted to interfere with you when Brunson was taking a layup, but Brunson's physical fitness and strength were better than Reggie, so when Brunson was taking a layup, Reggie's interference It didn't play any role.

Bang——shua——

Basketball hits the board into the net.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Reggie and Brunson each contributed a goal, while neither Leonard nor George made any particularly big moves.

The Clippers attacked again, and this time Reggie took the initiative to pass the ball to Leonard.

Leonard held the ball against George's defense.

George also quickly adjusted his state to prepare for Leonard's impact.

But Leonard showed no intention of attacking. After a simple breakthrough attempt, Leonard passed a pass to Pope outside the three-point line.

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

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

"Good shot! The pass from Kawhi Leonard, is it going to start to work?!" Barkley said excitedly.

The ball changed again, Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball, and also passed the ball to George.

After George got the ball, he didn't attack hard. Instead, he called on his teammates to come forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to Nunn on the outside with the help of the pick-and-roll.

Nunn received the ball and shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Nunn also hit a three-pointer.

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the score remained tight.

But as time went by, the Clippers' lineup advantage began to show up, and the Clippers gradually took the lead.

Although the point difference is not big, it is also very difficult for George to lead the team to overtake.

Soon after halfway through the second quarter, the Clippers temporarily led the Lakers by 3 points, and Walton reached out and called a timeout.

"Okay, it's halfway through the second quarter. Audience friends, if my prediction is correct, the Lakers will make substitution adjustments soon, and Su Tian will play again!" Barkley said excitedly.

"Su will play on the Lakers' side, and James will also play on the Clippers' side. The next half of the game will definitely be exciting." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, on the benches of the two teams, the head coaches of both teams were constantly emphasizing the next tactics and games.

"LeBron, Su is our old rival! Don't be influenced by him! Play at our own pace! Be careful to cut off the connection between him and his teammates!"

"Su, James needs you to help defend against double teams! Don't underestimate that middle-aged man. Although he is older, he can still kill the game!"

The timeout soon ended and the game continued.

After returning to the field, Su Tian got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

The person responsible for defending Su Tian is naturally James himself.

And Su Tian also subconsciously turned on the poisonous tongue mode.

"Let me see who this is? James? Do you know Harden? I think he is the best James in NBA history!"

Faced with Su Tian's teasing, James could keep his face straight, but when Su Tian said that Harden had a higher historical status than himself, he still couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, Su Tian quickly changed direction and shook James away, then exploded again and accelerated towards the basket.

Su Tian's speed and burst were so fast that James couldn't catch up for a while. Su Tian took the lead to reach the basket.

Just when Su Tian was about to make a layup, the Clippers double-teamed him, so Su Tian took the opportunity to pass a pass to Kuzma outside the three-point line.

Originally, James wanted to cut off Su Tian's passing route, but Su Tian's passing angle was too tricky, and the passing speed was not so easy to steal.

Kuzma felt very comfortable receiving the ball, so he shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

With the addition of Su Tian's pass, the basketball directly hit the basket.

"Beautiful! With this ball, Su successfully attracted a double-team from the Clippers and passed an assist! Kuzma lived up to Su's wonderful pass!" Barkley said.

Kuzma made a three-pointer to tie the difference and the two teams returned to the same level.

The ball was transferred, and James advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

On the Lakers side, it is not Su Tian who is responsible for defending James, but Kuzma. Su Tian is responsible for assisting in double-team interference from the side.

James faced Kuzma's defense with the ball. He first tested the offense and found that Kuzma's defense was not bad, so James began to reach out and call his teammates.

After a period of tactical coordination and movement, James successfully obtained a breakthrough space with the help of his teammates' cover, and directly held the ball and went inside.

But as soon as James broke through two steps, Su Tian's double-team defense came, and James had to quickly change his face to the back frame to protect the ball.

When Su Tian saw James turning his back, he did not try to gamble and steal, but continued to cause interference and confrontation.

Under the constant physical confrontation, it was difficult for James to get a stable shot, so James had to pass the ball to his teammates.

At this time, the matchup between the two teams had changed several times, with Su Tian and James facing off.

After James passed the ball, he wanted to wave the ball back again, but Su Tian's defense was tight, and time disappeared minute by minute.

So the ball was finally given to Zubac under the basket, and Zubac turned around with difficulty and shot for a layup.
