NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 478 Stubborn Butler (page 12)

It seemed that Butler was about to fall into a double-team by the Lakers, but then Butler made a ground pass to Adebayor, who was following the pass.

Adebayor received the ball and went directly to the basket, and made a layup under the interference of his thick eyebrows.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball bounced on the rim and finally fell into the net.

4-2

Su Tian glanced at Adebayor, but he didn't expect that Adebayor had grown so fast and was now able to stand alone.

The ball was transferred and the Lakers attacked again. This time Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, still facing Butler's defense.

This time, Su Tian reached out and called on Nongmei to come forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to initiate a breakthrough. However, halfway through the breakthrough, he passed the ball to George who ran out of the three-point line and ran into the open space.

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

Swah——

Three point hit.

The Lakers' three giants still cooperate very well.

In the next few rounds, the two teams' drama basically focused on Butler and Su Tian.

The two controlled the team's ball and dominated the team's offense. In the end, it turned out that Su Tian was better. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Heat by 6 points.

In the second quarter, both sides began to make substitution adjustments. Su Tian came off the court to rest, and George led half of the main lineup.

Butler also took a rest on the Heat's side, and Vincent and Adebayor were on hand to lead the team.

Su Tian himself thought that this half of the game would be a show for George and Adebayor, but he did not expect that after the game started, all the limelight was taken away by Brunson and Vincent.

Whether it is Brunson or Vincent, both of them have grown faster and more comprehensively than they have in history because of the Lakers, and their combat effectiveness at this time is far beyond what they have historically been.

It was Vincent who took the lead. In fact, Vincent and Brunson didn't like each other in the first quarter, but at that time the ball was concentrated in the hands of the stars on both sides, and neither of them had any control. What can I say.

Now that all the leading stars have taken a break, the two of them have naturally taken on the team's organizational and offensive tasks.

Of course, Brunson has George here, who can share a lot of organizational pressure.

Vincent first went to the basket with the ball in several consecutive rounds. Although he did not hit all of them, he completed a breakthrough against Brunson's defense every time.

This made Brunson look very unhappy, so he immediately responded and continued to hold the ball to break through Vincent's defense.

Although both of them have high offense and low defense, Brunson is superior in all abilities, and Brunson's passing and assisting ability is obviously better than Vincent.

Coupled with the help of George on the Lakers' side, the score difference between the two teams soon reached 10 points. During this period, Spoelstra called a timeout to make adjustments, but it still failed to prevent the score difference from widening.

In the end, it was Spoelstra who returned Butler to the court early, which stabilized the point difference and formed a stalemate.

Just a few minutes after Butler came on the court and stabilized the situation on the court, the game was already halfway through the second quarter, and the Lakers made substitution adjustments.

Su Tian and Nongmei came on stage again.

After Su Tian came on the court, he played against Butler again, and the score difference that had been stable on the court began to widen again.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers led the Heat by 12 points.

At the end of the first half, the two sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game.

On the Heat's side, Spoelstra is holding a tactical board and writing and drawing constantly. He keeps moving his hands and talking.

"In the second half, we have to strengthen our defense against Su. We must guard and defend. Or we must cut off the connection between the Lakers trio and try to let them fight alone."

"Jimmy, you will still be responsible for the main defense in the second half. At present, you are the only one in our team who can play against us."

Butler nodded and said, "Good coach."

Immediately afterwards, Spoelstra arranged several related tactics. The morale of the Heat team was all online, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.

At the same time, the Lakers were not idle. Walton also arranged tactics for the second half of the game, but compared to Spoelstra, Walton's job was easier.

"In the second half, we still followed our original tactical layout. We don't need to make any major adjustments. Jimmy has not changed much from before. Su, you can just grasp this yourself."

Su Tian nodded to express his understanding.

Compared with the Heat, the Lakers still have a very obvious advantage. Walton does not need to make too many adjustments. If there are any problems on the court, just leave the problem to the stars to solve it themselves.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, the two sides once again took on the starting lineup and once again started a head-to-head confrontation.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Heat. Vincent advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Instead of passing the ball directly to Butler, he reached out and called Adebayor for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Vincent initiated a breakthrough. Before the help of thick eyebrows came up, Vincent passed the ball to Dun Luo outside the three-point line.

Dun Luo has been closely followed by Johnson in this game and has never performed well. This time he finally caught the opportunity and shot a three-pointer directly after receiving the ball.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

The ball was transferred, Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Brunson passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Butler's defense. He first tried a triple threat, then completed a crossover and rushed to the basket.

Butler hurriedly turned around to pursue, but just as Butler changed his focus to catch up, Su Tian took another step back and returned to the three-point line.

At this time, Butler had not had time to change his focus, and Su Tian had plenty of room to take action.

So Su Tian directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

The Heat had just hit a three-pointer to bring the point difference to single digits, and Su Tian immediately returned the favor.

The ball was given to the Heat again, and Butler advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Su Tian's defense, Butler chose to call a pick-and-roll.

But this time with the help of the pick-and-roll, Butler did not complete the breakthrough. Su Tian went around the pick-and-roll too quickly, and Butler did not have time to complete the start.

So in desperation, Butler had to pass the ball to Vincent, signaling Vincent to reorganize the attack.

In the end, Vincent broke through with the ball and came to the free throw line, stopped for a jump shot.

boom--

But unfortunately, under Brunson's interference, Vincent shot the iron.

The thick eyebrow turned around to collect the rebound and quickly passed the ball to George. George passed the ball again to the running Su Tian.

Su Tian took the lead and ran ahead of everyone. There was no one around him, and Butler was still chasing him two steps behind.

But Su Tian was so fast that Butler couldn't catch up. After reaching the basket in the frontcourt, Su Tian saw the right moment and succeeded with a one-handed dunk.

The score difference came to 14 points.
