NBA’s aging star system

The Jazz won a game by relying on a sudden burst inside. Although this situation is not common and cannot be a regular weapon for the Jazz, it is a fact that the Jazz won this game.

As an outsider, Su Tian could see this game clearly.

The Suns' lack of interior defensive strength is a fundamental problem, and although Gobert is a defensive center, he is not without some offensive ability, not to mention that he is still in his peak period.

But after the game, Su Tian didn't think too much about the match between the two teams, because Su Tian was confident that no matter which team entered the Western Conference Finals, it would not be the Lakers' opponent.

During this break, Su Tian and the Lakers were not idle. While Walton organized the team for regular training, he also arranged some tactics for the basket, which were mainly prepared for the Suns.

As for the Jazz, Walton believes that if the Jazz dare to enter the Western Conference Finals, Su Tian will definitely teach Mitchell how to behave.

Su Tianze worked hard to improve his strength while participating in the team's training, and he also always paid attention to the status of his thick eyebrows.

If Big Eyebrow can recover and return to the game, the pressure on the Lakers will plummet and the inside will receive strong support.

In fact, the thick eyebrows are injured and the Lakers' internal strength has declined. It is visible to the naked eye, but why didn't the Clippers make a fuss from the inside? Or it's because the Clippers themselves are not strong inside and cannot give the Lakers a strong blow.

Just as the competition in the Western Conference is in full swing, the Eastern Conference is not idle either and has also started the competition for a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia defeated the Wizards, the Nets defeated the Celtics, the Bucks defeated the Heat, and the Hawks defeated the Knicks.

In the second round, Philadelphia faced the Hawks and the Nets faced the Bucks.

When the Hawks played against the Knicks in the first round, Trae Young also liked to mention the title of "Mayor of New York."

Just when everyone wanted to see the "Mayor of New York" perform further, they didn't expect that he would never have any explosive performance after facing Philadelphia.

The other group, the Nets and Bucks, are relatively similar in strength. Although the Nets' three giants are not at their peak, they are still a powerful combination.

As for the Bucks, the young and strong Antetokounmpo is at his peak. He can become the core of the team on both the offensive and defensive ends. He is a rising and powerful force in the league today.

The two sides were fighting each other, evenly matched, and there was no absolute winner.

The turning point of this series was when Irving landed a layup and "just" stepped on Antetokounmpo's foot!

This kick directly caused Irving to be injured and miss all the remaining games, and the Bucks also completely took advantage of the game after this turning point.

The originally evenly matched game suddenly shifted towards one side, and the balance began to tilt.

So the opponents in the Eastern Conference finals gradually became clear, Philadelphia and the Bucks.

Although the Bucks have an absolute advantage because of Antetokounmpo, advancing to the East is definitely not a problem, but Antetokounmpo's reputation has plummeted.

"That's just a stepping stone! There's nothing to argue with!"

"He is a murderer! A murderer! He should be arrested directly!"

"But didn't Giannis clarify? He said it wasn't intentional."

"It's not intentional? Are you a three-year-old child? Don't you have your own judgment? If he says it's not intentional, then it's not intentional?"

"No need to wash it off, he is just a rotten person who will do whatever it takes to win! Just like Draymond Green!"

"A true superstar should not use this method to win. It is not honorable. He is ruining his career and historical status!"

"I think on the contrary, if Giannis can really win the championship in the end, it may enhance his historical status, but no one will mention this stepping stone anymore."

For a while, the discussion about Antetokounmpo was full of dust on the Internet, and everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

Some reporters even came to Staples to interview Su Tian about his views on this matter.

However, before these media and reporters could get close to Su Tian, ​​Wharton directly drove them away on the grounds of preparation for war.

It's not that Su Tian is unwilling to answer these questions, but no matter what Su Tian says, it will attract the attention of the media and fans, which will affect the team's preparation plan.

For the sake of the overall situation, Wharton still chose to refuse these interviews. Su Tian still very much agreed with Wharton's approach.

Just when everyone focused their attention on the East, the fifth game between the Suns and Jazz in the West began.

In the fifth stop, the two sides returned to the home court of the Jazz. The Jazz had the home court advantage and naturally wanted to win the opponent in one go.

But sometimes, things always go in the opposite direction.

Because there was a problem with the Suns' inside line in the last game, they took precautions against the inside line from the beginning of this game, so Gobert was unable to cause any more trouble.

Gobert suffered a setback, so Mitchell naturally wanted to take on his responsibilities and organize the team's offense.

But Mitchell still overestimated himself and failed to achieve the expected results under the Suns' targeted defense.

In the end, the game ended with the Suns' victory, with the big score reaching a 3-2 Suns lead.

In this game, the Suns completely showed their advantage and won the game on the road. So everyone began to change their minds, saying that the Suns would directly eliminate the Jazz 4-2 and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Paul is very clear about the urinary nature of these experts and commentators. They are just like grasshoppers.

Therefore, Paul will not feel that he can really win the Jazz just because these reports are promoting the Suns.

As for the other players on the Suns, with Paul leading them, there won't be any big problems.

In fact, this game in the West is not very popular or discussed, because at this time everyone's attention is attracted by the grudge game in the East.

The Bucks currently lead the Nets 3-2 in the East, and the next game is the Bucks' match point game.

The popularity of this game was comparable to that of the finals, and Su Tian was also attracted by this game and deliberately returned home early to watch the game.

The Bucks' lineup still has Antetokounmpo as the core, Middleton as the assistant, and some role players. Lopez is still familiar inside.

On the Nets side, because Irving was injured and unable to play, they could only rely on the leadership of Harden and Durant.

Durant is in his first season after returning from a serious injury, and he has declined a lot.

Harden has also declined significantly this season, especially with leg injuries.

But no matter what, these two are regular season MVP-level players. Even if they are injured, they can still contribute good combat effectiveness.

Therefore, after the game started, the Bucks did not show a particularly obvious advantage. Even because Harden and Durant had good hands, the Nets still had the upper hand.

At the end of the first quarter, the scores between the two sides were similar, with the Nets temporarily leading by 5 points.
