NBA’s aging star system

After the ring awarding ceremony and flag-raising ceremony, the game officially began.

As the league's opening game and the championship ring awarding ceremony, this game was naturally broadcast live across the country, and reporters from various media were waiting on the sidelines.

Players from both sides began to take the field.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is: Brunson, Su Tian, ​​Johnson, George, and thick eyebrows.

The starting lineup for the Warriors is: Curry, Poole, Wiggins, Green, Rooney.

At the beginning of the game, Thick Eyebrow leaped high and took the lead to seize the initiative.

Brunson received the ball, advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

In terms of matchups, Poole or Curry should be responsible for defending Su Tian, ​​but Cole arranged for Wiggins, obviously prepared for this game.

When Su Tian got the ball and faced Wiggins' defense, he was not in a hurry to take action. He first asked his teammates to run and run tactics, and then stretched out his hand to call thick eyebrows to come forward to pick and roll.

Use the pick-and-roll to explode directly to the basket.

Wiggins' defense was easily broken, but the Warriors were well prepared. Green and Rooney quickly returned to the basket, preparing to double-team Su Tian.

When Su Tian saw this scene, he wanted to step forward and dunk. Su Tian did have this ability, but he suddenly thought of the previous conversation with Wharton.

So Su Tian temporarily changed his mind and passed a pass to George outside the three-point line.

George caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

Although George still looks a little fat now, this does not affect George's feel, not to mention the bonus of Su Tian's passing.

3-0

"Excellent cooperation! The Lakers showed the tacit understanding between the three All-Stars from the beginning, but unfortunately, I thought Su would come up with a explosive dunk." Barkley said regretfully.

"Hahaha, there is no comparison between now and before. The current Lakers are counting on the three of them. Su must strictly control his physical distribution." Kenny Smith said.

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

Brunson is responsible for defending Curry, while Su Tian defends Poole. Compared with Curry, defending Poole is easier and saves energy.

Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball and also directed his teammates to run tactics and coordinate while passing the ball to Wiggins.

Wiggins received the ball and passed it to Green again. Faced with George's defense, Green did not attack himself, but instead passed the ball to Wiggins who cut through the air.

Wiggins successfully received the ball and went straight to the basket. At this time, the thick eyebrows under the basket were ready.

Just when Nongmei thought Wiggins was going to attack the basket, Wiggins suddenly made a pull-up jump shot.

The thick eyebrow was stunned for a moment, but he still hurried forward to interfere with the shot, but unfortunately it was a beat too late and the basketball went into the net.

3-2

"The Warriors' cooperation is also good. I feel that the Warriors may do a lot this season." Kenny Smith said.

"The Warriors have indeed recovered from the previous haze. They still have great hope of reaching the playoffs this season, but if they want to win the championship, they have little hope." Barkley said.

"Oh, Charles, which team do you think has the greatest chance of winning the championship this season?" Kenny Smith asked immediately.

Barkley knew that topics like this would most likely attract the attention of fans, so he pretended to think about it for a while.

"I think the Bucks, Nets, and Clippers are relatively promising, but I don't rule out the Heat, Suns, and Lakers. The first three teams have a greater chance, and the last three teams have a better chance. The chances are smaller," Buckley said.

Kenny Smith looked very surprised and said: "Oh! Charles, you actually put the Lakers behind? Haven't you always been a fan of the Lakers, or a fan of SU?"

Barkley smiled and said: "I am indeed a fan of Su, I admit that, but it is also true that the Lakers' strength has declined this season. Although they will not fall out of the championship, they can only be ranked second. Echelon."

The two commentators were chatting while explaining the game, and the game on the field was also going on.

Soon the first quarter was halfway through and it was time for the official timeout.

Taking advantage of the official timeout, Walton began to make substitution adjustments, first letting George off the court to rest, and letting Su Tian and Nongmei continue to lead the team.

After substitutions and adjustments in the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers' overall strength dropped a lot, and Su Tian couldn't help but increase the proportion of his shots to maintain the point difference between the two teams.

Soon the first quarter ended, and the Lakers temporarily led the Warriors by 34 points 30-4.

"Su, you take a rest first, don't be anxious, we just follow the designated tactics." Wharton patted Su Tian on the shoulder and said.

Su Tian nodded in response.

Wharton knows that Su Tian is a very competitive person, and he can't help but want to go all out in the first quarter.

But in order for the team to win the game more reliably, or win the championship more reliably, Su Tian must first suppress his desire to attack and save more energy at critical moments.

Soon the second quarter of the game started. Su Tian and Nong Mei of the Lakers took a rest off the court, and George and Brunson led the team.

Compared with before, the strength of the Lakers' rotation has indeed dropped a lot, and George is still unable to perform fully because he has not returned to his peak state.

So not long after the start of the second quarter, the Warriors completed the lead and at the same time opened the point difference to 5 points before the middle of the second quarter.

Seeing that the point difference was continuing to widen, Walton immediately called a timeout and made substitutions two minutes in advance.

Although Walton has formulated a strategy to seek stability, the premise is to win the game, not to lose the game intentionally.

After substitutions and adjustments, Su Tian, ​​Nong Mei and others appeared again, and the situation on the court quickly stabilized.

At the same time, Su Tian also used the help of his teammates and his own efforts to attract defense, and began to assist his teammates more.

At the end of the second quarter, the point difference caught up and once again led the Warriors by 4 points.

"Judging from the first half of the game, the Lakers and Warriors felt evenly matched, but Su still did not give his full strength. Looking at it this way, as long as Su can once again burst out with the strength of the king of the final quarter in the fourth quarter, we can win The possibility of playing next game is greatly increased," Barkley said.

"Yes, although it seems that the two teams are on the same level now, we must not forget that Su is not that simple in the fourth quarter." Kenny Smith responded.

At this time, in the Lakers locker room, Walton was also making arrangements for the second half of the game.

"In the first half of the third quarter, we are still the main force. Su, you can show some strength at this time and take the lead first. Then we will harvest the game in the fourth quarter."

"In the second half, we will adjust our defensive matchups. Su, you will defend Curry, and Brunson will defend Poole."

Following Wharton's arrangement, Su Tian and Brunson nodded to express their understanding.
