NBA’s aging star system

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers and Warriors hit the first goal respectively, and both sides showed extraordinary offensive strength.

The ball was once again given to the Lakers. Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and launched an attack directly with the ball. It was still difficult for Curry's defensive strength to block Brunson, but it was still possible to follow the interference.

Brunson is also tough enough. He went all the way to the basket against Curry's defense and took three steps to collect the ball at the right time.

At this time, it was too late for Green to come over to help defend. Although Rooney next to him was relatively close, his ability to assist was not strong, so Brunson forced a shot against the defense.

Bang——shua——

Brunson was also lucky. The basketball hit the backboard, bounced back to the basket, and fell into the net again.

Seeing the basketball hit, Brunson secretly said he was lucky.

Brunson thought that Curry's defense was still very broken, but he did not expect that Curry's defense had improved a lot, including strength, and the quality of defense was completely different from before.

In the next few rounds, both teams' offense and defense fell into their own rhythms. However, Clay was at an obvious disadvantage when facing Su Tian, ​​while Curry had an advantage when facing Brunson.

Overall, the two teams were evenly matched in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 27-26, and the Lakers temporarily led by 1 point.

"Have the Lakers become weaker, or have the Warriors become stronger? Why do I feel that the two teams are on the same level?"

"Both teams are not weak teams in themselves, and this is just one of the games. I hate you fans who argue about one game the most."

"This is more than just a discussion, this is simply a discussion."

"Hey, so you don't want to discuss it anymore?"

"Actually, the strength of the Lakers has indeed declined, and the strength of the Warriors has indeed improved. It's just that neither team showed their full strength in the first quarter. The final result still depends on the fourth quarter."

As the fans discussed, the inter-section break ended quickly and the second quarter began.

In the second quarter, both sides made substitution adjustments. Needless to say, the Lakers still used the same adjustment strategy.

For the Warriors, Curry and Green went off the court, and Poole and Kuminga came on.

Two young players, Poole and Kuminga, were able to occupy a place in the Warriors not only because of their own strength, but also because they fit in with Cole's tactical system.

Otherwise, if you look at Wiseman on the bench, he won't get much playing time now.

It is estimated that it is not far away from Wiseman being traded.

After the start of the second quarter, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the Lakers.

Without Curry, the Warriors' strength has dropped significantly, not to mention that the Lakers still have George and Brunson on the court.

Within a few rounds, seeing the point difference getting wider and wider, Cole had no choice but to call a timeout and replace Curry to stabilize the situation.

Su Tian sat off the court, looking at Curry today, and couldn't help but think of the Thanos James in his memory. The James back then also carried the team forward with his own strength.

But unfortunately, he still fell in front of Universe Yong.

But now, this lonely hero has become Curry, and the "cosmic brave" has become the Big Three Lakers.

After Curry came on the court, he did stabilize the situation, and the point difference was gradually recovered. However, half of the time was already passed, and Su Tian and Nongmei appeared again.

After Su Tian and Nongmei came on the scene, the balance that had been gradually balancing tilted towards the Lakers again.

It is difficult for Curry to change the situation of the battle on his own, even if Su Tian does not use all his strength.

At the end of the second quarter, the score difference had reached 10 points.

When he returned to the locker room after halftime, he looked very excited.

Not only did Su Tian have an easier time in this game, but so did his thick eyebrows.

Needless to say, everyone knows the Warriors' defensive strength at the basket, and Green's decline is indeed obvious, and the interference with thick eyebrows is no longer a concern.

So much so that in the second half of the second quarter, Thick Eyebrow's offense at the basket was like being in a no-man's land, getting everything he wanted.

At halftime, Cole still held out hope of overtaking the score. In fact, there was indeed a chance. As long as the Warriors' three-pointers could match the Bucks' previous shooting percentage, it would be difficult for the Lakers to resist.

But unfortunately, such a hit rate cannot be achieved casually. Luck and strength are both indispensable.

Soon after the intermission, the third quarter began, and the two teams once again got all the starting players.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Warriors. Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Brunson's defense, he did not take a direct shot, but passed the ball to Green, indicating Green's tactical cooperation.

When Green got the ball, he immediately observed the movement of his teammates, and then passed a pass to Wiggins who was trying to make an air cut.

Wiggins received the ball and rushed toward the basket, but Johnson followed closely and provided strong interference.

When the two came to the basket, the thick eyebrows returned to a suitable defensive position. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Wiggins had to give the ball to the outside again.

At this time, Curry used the pick-and-roll of his teammates to find an open opportunity, received a pass from Wiggins, and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Under slight interference, Curry's shooting percentage is still efficient.

A three-pointer brought the point difference to single digits again, but it did not last long.

In the next two rounds, Su Tian began to show his strength as the league's number one active player, holding the ball and hitting hard, quickly bringing the 7-point difference to 12 points.

The Warriors also wanted to keep up with this scoring rhythm, but unfortunately, the three-point rain that Cole expected did not start, and instead gave the Lakers several good opportunities for defensive counterattacks.

Halfway through the third quarter, the score difference reached 16 points, and Su Tian and Nong Mei came off the court to rest.

At this time, the Warriors still maintain a semi-main lineup and want to take advantage of this half of the quarter to catch up with the score.

To say whether the Warriors' tactics were successful, it was considered a success. In this half quarter, they managed to catch up with the 7-point difference.

But even if they caught up with the 7-point difference, when they turned around, they were still 9 points behind the Lakers.

Not only that, but Curry, the Warriors' main scoring point, has consumed a lot of energy at this time, and it is unknown how much strength he can display in the fourth quarter.

"With a 9-point difference, I actually think there is still a chance."

"There are opportunities, not to mention a team like the Warriors that is very strong in three-pointers, but the key is to see if it can defend against the Lakers' offense."

"Then in the previous game between the Lakers and Bucks, the Bucks didn't guard Su Tiantian?"

"Yes, the Bucks did not guard Su, but George and Davis were undercover."

"So the only ones in the league who can defend Su are our own teammates?"

"That doesn't mean that no matter what they do, George and Davis will still be better than that one."

At this time, facing a 9-point difference, it is impossible to say that the Warriors have no ideas. Especially Cole, who has long wanted to defeat the Lakers on a frontal battlefield.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, the Warriors resolutely took the full lineup.
