NBA’s aging star system

After Nongmei came to the Lakers, his three-point level improved significantly. This was not only because of Nongmei's hard training, but also because of Su Tian's passing.

In short, various reasons have led to the current three-point level of thick eyebrows being significantly improved. It is undoubtedly a stupid thing to leave thick eyebrows empty.

After Thick Eyebrow hit the shot, he found Su Tian and gave him a high-five when he returned to defense.

The ball was transferred and it was the Bucks' turn to attack.

Holiday advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Antetokounmpo.

Although the Bucks asked Antetokounmpo and Middleton to switch defenses, the Lakers did not and still arranged for George to defend Antetokounmpo.

After all, there is still a size gap between Antetokounmpo and Su Tian, ​​so it would be more appropriate for George to be responsible for defense.

Antetokounmpo got the ball and first tested George as a triple threat, constantly moving his left foot to test.

But unfortunately, George was not moved at all.

It is well known that Antetokounmpo's shooting is not good, so George directly chose to prevent sudden shots, which also made Antetokounmpo a little embarrassed.

If George knew Antetokounmpo's mood at this time, he would most likely persuade him: "It's nothing embarrassing. James was treated like this before you."

At this time, Antetokounmpo saw that the three-threat test was useless, so he directly reached out and called his teammates to step forward to pick and roll.

When George saw someone stepping forward to create a screen, he naturally went around from behind. Although George was already very fast, Antetokounmpo still had the opportunity to break through and immediately rushed to the basket with the ball.

However, although Alphabet successfully broke through George's layer of defense, there is still another layer waiting for him behind, which is thick eyebrows.

Antetokounmpo took three steps and then two, collected the ball and took three steps to the basket. His thick eyebrows also saw the right time and jumped at the same time as Antetokounmpo.

The two had a physical confrontation in the air, and Antetokounmpo barely managed a layup despite the thick eyebrow defense.

This shot was indeed very reluctant, because the thick eyebrow almost touched the basketball.

boom--

Swah——

But I have to say that Antetokounmpo was lucky. The basketball hit the rim, but bounced into the air and fell into the net again.

3-2

Seeing Antetokounmpo's lucky layup, the thick eyebrows were not moved. Instead, he quickly picked up the ball and served quickly, directly passing a long pass to Su Tian near the midfield line.

Su Tian accelerated to win the basketball and headed towards the basket with the ball. Because the movements of Nong Mei and Su Tian were so sudden, the Bucks had not yet reacted, so Su Tian who came to the frontcourt simply relaxed Successful layup.

5-2

"Stay focused! Pay attention to your defender!" Budenholzer shouted while clapping his hands on the sidelines.

In fact, because Antetokounmpo and Middleton switched defenses, when Antetokounmpo, who was responsible for defending Su Tian, ​​rushed to the basket, Su Tian was actually still outside the three-point line. As long as he was prepared at this time, he would definitely be able to play. The Bucks were caught off guard.

The ball was given to the Bucks again, and this time Antetokounmpo advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Still facing George's defense, but this time Antetokounmpo broke through with the help of a pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Holiday outside the three-point line.

Holiday caught the ball and shot a three-pointer against Brunson's defense.

Swah——

Holiday knew that Antetokounmpo needed a helper to step up at this time, so he was able to live up to his expectations and hit this shot.

5-5

"Now it seems that the Bucks played pretty well in this game. They went back and forth with the Lakers and they were evenly matched." Kenny Smith said.

"This is only the first quarter. Don't say it so early. The last game was evenly matched at the beginning," Barkley said.

In the next few rounds, the two teams still maintained a back-and-forth situation, but Su Tian and Nongmei's quick-fire tactics did not work every time, and the Bucks were already on guard.

But even if they fight hard, the Bucks are still no match for the Lakers.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were 30-26, temporarily leading the Bucks by 4 points.

"Looking at it so far, the Bucks' performance in the first quarter is still very good, but I don't know if they can maintain it later." Kenny Smith said.

"Four points behind is actually acceptable for the Bucks, but they must seize the time when Su is not on the court and complete the lead during this period. Or even widen the point difference." Barkley said.

"Yeah, Sue's absence has to be taken advantage of," Kenny Smith echoed.

While the two were talking, the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began.

Sure enough, the Lakers removed Su Tian and Nongmei as usual and asked George to lead the team.

As for the Bucks, Antetokounmpo is resting off the court and Middleton is on the court to lead the team.

The first possession of the second quarter was given to the Bucks, and Middleton undoubtedly became the leader of the lineup on the field.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Middleton continuously held the ball and went to the basket to score.

The 4-point difference is not big for Middleton, but George is not a vegetarian either.

After Middleton made a move, George also began to cooperate with Brunson. With the combination of Brunson's breakthrough and George's shooting, it was difficult for the Bucks to defend.

Just when the two sides couldn't hold on, Nunn suddenly ushered in a wave of explosions on the Lakers' side, hitting three consecutive three-pointers.

Nunn's touch was so hot that Budenholzer had to call a timeout to cool down Nunn's touch.

Nunn scored three consecutive three-pointers, successfully opening the point difference to 10 points.

After returning from the timeout, Nunn's touch did cool down, but the point difference has been formed. If the Bucks want to catch up, they can only let the main force play early.

Budenholzer thought briefly and took advantage of the timeout to bring the main players on the field.

It's just that Antetokounmpo only played for a few rounds, and it was already halfway through the second quarter, so Su Tian and Nongmei came on the court.

The Lakers rotate personnel as usual and do not affect the rest time of the main players or substitutes.

After Su Tian came on the court, he took over the team's ball and began to gradually stabilize the situation.

At the end of the second quarter, the point difference was stabilized at around 12 points.

"Being behind by 12 points at halftime is not good news for the Bucks. I hope the Bucks can find a way to break the game." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, in the Bucks' locker room, Budenholzer was racking his brains to think of ways to deal with the Lakers.

"Giannis, I need you to play longer and with better results in the second half! We must catch up with the score difference before the end of the third quarter!"

"Everyone else! Listen to me. Not only do I need you to do a good job on defense, I also need you to seize the three-point opportunity!"

Immediately afterwards, Budenholzer arranged some targeted tactics, mainly some defensive tactics aimed at Su Tian himself.

At the same time, the Lakers seemed much quieter. Walton slowly explained what should be paid attention to in the second half, and also specifically asked Su Tian to pay attention to safety.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.
