NBA’s aging star system

Although the Lakers officially said that Su Tian was fine, fans were still worried about Su Tian's health, but they had no worries about the game.

"I still hope Su can ensure that his health comes first."

"The body is more important, and the competition will definitely be no problem."

"I think Su can paddle properly. After all, the competition is still stable, but his health is his own."

"Yes, and it doesn't matter if you lose one game. Anyway, as long as you win the championship in the end, it will be fine."

Voices from the outside clearly expressed everyone's attitude. Even if Su Tian was injured, everyone still believed that the Lakers would win the championship.

But Budenholzer remains skeptical.

"Guys, listen, although the Lakers officially say that Su can play normally, Su will definitely not be able to exert his full strength, and this is our opportunity! We must seize this opportunity!"

Before the Bucks took the field, Budenholzer still emphasized this point, trying to seize this smoke bomb as a breakthrough.

Soon the game started, with personnel from both sides taking the field.

Nongmei and Lopez stood in the center circle. This time Lopez took the lead in grabbing the ball, and Antetokounmpo got the ball and gave it to Holiday.

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

Antetokounmpo got the ball and faced George's defense. He didn't take action immediately. Instead, he reached out and called Middleton to step forward to pick and roll.

The pick-and-roll between Antetokounmpo and Middleton was not to take the opportunity to break through, but to switch to Su Tian. Antetokounmpo wanted to test how much strength Su Tian still retains.

After the defense switch, the rest of the Bucks quickly opened up very consciously, leaving plenty of room for Antetokounmpo to break through.

At this time, Su Tian was also on alert, ready to deal with Antetokounmpo's breakthrough at any time.

But Antetokounmpo didn't think so much. He didn't even need to change direction. He directly held the ball and used his explosiveness and strength to force a breakthrough and hit the basket.

But as soon as the two came into contact, Antetokounmpo felt a huge resistance, which was no weaker than the previous two games!

"That's bad! Su actually still has such defensive power."

Just when Antetokounmpo was having trouble secretly, Su Tian quickly took action and directly completed the steal!

Because Antetokounmpo is taller and has a high center of gravity, he is naturally easily intercepted. In addition, this time Antetokounmpo thought Su Tian was injured and was less vigilant.

After successfully stealing the ball, Su Tian controlled the ball and drove forward to the basket.

Su Tian's speed was very fast, and he didn't look like he had any signs of injury.

Antetokounmpo reacted quickly and immediately turned around to pursue, but in the end he was still a step too slow.

Su Tian quickly came to the basket in the frontcourt. Because he was worried about Antetokounmpo chasing behind him, after arriving in the frontcourt, Su Tian saw the right moment and took three steps to collect the ball. After jumping high, he succeeded with a powerful split dunk!

2-0

"Oh! My God! Su can actually deliver such a dunk!"

"Incredible! Su in an injured state actually still has such fighting power!"

"This is like an iron man! Or is it true that Su was not injured as the official said?"

"It is certain that he was injured. After all, we witnessed it with our own eyes in the last game, but Su's recovery is really impressive."

Su Tian started the game with a powerful dunk that silenced the entire away team.

At this time, Budenholzer was standing on the sidelines with dull eyes and a hint of disbelief.

"This, is this the injured Su? No, are you kidding? How do you want me to fight? Do you want to surrender directly?"

Su Tian's condition indeed exceeded Budenholzer's expectations. After all, Su Tian now seems not only not to have declined, but to have become more vigorous.

The ball was transferred to the Bucks again.

This time Antetokounmpo advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and passed the ball to Holiday, who himself ran without the ball.

After Holiday got the ball, he didn't take action immediately. Instead, he made a gesture to everyone, indicating that he wanted to make a tactical cooperation.

After the other members of the Bucks saw this, they immediately took action and began to run, pick-and-roll, and cooperate with each other.

Su Tian was guarding Middleton at this time. Middleton was very active and kept running to cover. It seemed that he wanted to throw Su Tian away.

After all, before the game started, the coach also arranged the strategy of "walking Su Tian", but so far the effect is not good. Su Tian is chasing very closely and has no chance to catch the ball.

Middleton ran for a long time without a chance, and Holiday couldn't wait for Middleton. So after seeing a suitable opportunity, Holiday passed the ball to Lopez inside.

Lopez received the ball, leaned against Nong Mei, gave Nong Mei a confrontation, turned around and shot for a layup.

Basketball hits steadily.

2-2

This shot caught Lopez off guard, but this was considered the point Lopez deserved, after all, it was based on his personal ability.

The ball changed and it was the Lakers' turn to attack. Brunson advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

When Su Tian got the ball, he was still facing Giannis Antetokounmpo's defense, so Su Tian immediately called on Nongmei to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian originally wanted to break through and attract the defense, but unexpectedly Antetokounmpo directly chose to go around the pick-and-roll from behind.

Seeing the signs of Antetokounmpo's movement, although Su Tian was confused as to why he was given the opportunity and space to make a shot, Su Tian did not let go of the opportunity, so he directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

The basketball hit the ball steadily. Even though Antetokounmpo had already stepped forward to interfere when Su Tian took the shot, he still couldn't stop Su Tian from making the shot.

5-2

"What a ball. I didn't expect that Su, who was playing with an injury, could not only play fast breaks, but also shoot so accurately! This is incredible," Barkley said.

"This doesn't look like playing with an injury at all. Is Su Tian's recovery ability so strong?" Kenny Smith said.

At this time, Antetokounmpo also seemed very surprised. The reason why Antetokounmpo chose to bypass the pick-and-roll from behind was because during the pre-game arrangement, it was agreed to test Su Tian's state.

In the previous round, I knew from Su Tianxia's fast break that there was nothing wrong with Su Tian's body, so I naturally wanted to test Su Tian's shooting in this round.

But now the results show that Su Tian's shooting is still accurate.

The Bucks are in trouble again.

The next few rounds were like a reflection of the first two games. The scores of the two teams increased alternately, but in the second half of the quarter, the Lakers gradually began to take advantage and maintained a stable lead.

At the end of the first quarter, 29-24, the Lakers led by 5 points.

"Judging from the first quarter that has ended so far, the Lakers still have the advantage, and it is still difficult for the Bucks to break the game." Kenny Smith said.

"It is true, and judging from Su's performance, Su's condition has recovered well. If the Bucks want to restrict the Lakers, they still have to find a way to restrict Su." Barkley said.
