NBA’s aging star system

But no matter what, the 3-point difference is already a rare good situation for the Heat, and Spoelstra naturally wants to seize this opportunity.

At the same time, Walton also took a serious attitude towards the Lakers' bench. After all, even the Lakers had to be careful with the 3-point difference.

"Su, the team is still centered on you in the fourth quarter. I think the Heat's double-teaming of you in the third quarter is not strict. You do this first. You first hit a few decisively to attract the Heat's attention. Watch the Heat. What reaction does it take, and then make changes.”

"Good coach." Su Tian replied.

In fact, Wharton's ideas coincided with Su Tian's. Even if Wharton didn't say so, Su Tian was prepared to do so.

Soon the intersection ended and the fourth quarter began.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers' lineup was the same as before. Su Tian and Nongmei still led the team on the field, while Butler and Adebayor played on the Heat's side.

In fact, Butler's playing time is enough in this game, but as the team's star, Butler must shoulder this responsibility.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Lakers, and Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, facing Butler's defense, Su Tian stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to pull away and once again assumed a singles stance.

Oladipo on the side had already begun to shift his center of gravity when he saw this, and looked like he was going to double-team Su Tian.

Su Tian seemed not to have seen it, and was still minding his own business with his hands crossed and dribbling, mobilizing Butler's defense, and then made a sharp change of direction and rushed directly to the basket.

Butler also immediately adjusted his center of gravity and caught up with Su Tian. Oladipo on the side saw Su Tian was so determined, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Su Tian.

But just when Oladipo made a move, Su Tian easily deceived Oladipo with a fake pass.

As if a button was pressed, Oladipo turned around and returned to his defender.

At this time, Su Tian directly stopped and shot a jump shot.

Swah——

A solid hit from mid-range.

5 points difference.

Su Tian's movements were very smooth overall, and the wonderful scene just now was played back on the big screen of Staples. Everyone lamented Su Tian's amazing body control, and they couldn't help but laugh at Oladipo who was being teased.

The ball was transferred and Oladipo came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Although he was teased just now, Oladipo's mentality is very stable now. He has already given up all those fights and just wants to play well.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Oladipo passed the ball directly to Butler. Butler received the ball and faced Su Tian's defense.

It's still a three-threat start, and then a pick-and-roll is called.

As Su Tian's old friend and rival, Butler understands very well that Su Tian's dominance in the fourth quarter cannot be dealt with by his own ability alone.

With the help of Adebayor's pick-and-roll, Butler tried to break through, but was blocked by Su Tian again as expected.

So Butler could only pass the ball to Adebayor, who was down the line.

Adebayor received the ball, wanted to challenge the thick eyebrows at the basket, rushed to the basket and shot for a layup.

Snapped--

But as soon as Adebayor took action, he was directly blocked by a thick eyebrow slap.

Su Tian quickly stepped forward to get the basketball, turned around and launched a fast break.

Butler was already prepared. Su Tian was just getting started. Butler stepped forward and hugged Su Tian.

"Hey Jimmy, is this the only way you can stop me?" Su Tian said with a smile.

"Anything that can stop you is a good way." Butler responded expressionlessly.

Butler sacrificed a foul opportunity and allowed the Lakers' offense to fall into position.

But even if they fell into position, the Heat still couldn't stop Su Tian, ​​who was attacking with the ball.

Just like a replica of the previous round, Su Tian still held the ball and quickly broke through to the basket. Adebayor tried to step forward to help defend against double teams.

But Su Tian used the lever to dodge and hit another layup.

The score difference came to 7 points.

"It feels like the Heat are at the end of their rope and can't come up with any effective tactics and strategies."

"The Heat have almost reached their limit. The only thing left that can compete with the Lakers is their mental attributes."

"It seems that the Heat are missing an important figure, a figure similar to Mr. Key or Miracle Boy."

"Hiro originally had this potential, but it's a pity that he is still too young."

"The Heat lack a miracle, a breakthrough that allows them to score regardless of defense."

As the game continued, the Heat finally started to score, but at this time the point difference had reached double digits.

A few minutes later Spoelstra called a timeout.

Spoelstra couldn't find any better way and could only get into the starting lineup in advance.

The Lakers did not get all the starting lineup together, and still maintained the previous lineup.

After the Heat got all the main starting players, it still had some effects, especially for Su Tian's double-teaming, the effect became better, and the point difference stopped expanding.

These are Spoelstra's feelings off the court.

But in fact, the reason why the point difference did not continue to widen was because Su Tian reduced the proportion of his own shots and gave more shots to his teammates. Su Tian began to pass the ball to assist his teammates.

After a few rounds, the point difference was still hovering around 10 points. At this time, half of the fourth quarter was over. Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, Walton made substitution adjustments and took on the entire starting lineup.

After the Lakers made substitution adjustments, the Lakers' offense became more relaxed, and the stalemate point difference began to widen again.

At this time, Spoelstra sat down on the bench, seemingly resigned to his fate.

After a few rounds, the score difference reached 16 points, and Spoelstra called a timeout, preparing to replace the main force and surrender.

But Butler immediately objected.

"Coach, we have been working hard for a year just waiting for this opportunity. We can't just give up so easily!"

Butler's eyes were very firm, making Spoeldu feel a little embarrassed and guilty.

At this time, other people on the Heat team also began to express their thoughts.

"That's right, coach, we haven't lost yet, the game isn't over yet, we should try our best again, so at least we won't regret it!" Vincent said.

"Coach, I agree to give it a try. After all, we don't make it to the finals every year." Adebayor said.

"Yes, an opportunity in the finals is hard-won, and we can't give up so easily!" Tucker said.

Seeing that all the team members were so full of energy, Spo seemed to be awakened.

"Okay, since everyone thinks so, let's continue! Use the last bullet!"

After speaking, Spoelstra picked up the tactical board and began to lay out the following tactics and modify the previous tactics.

"We must double-team Su more resolutely in the fourth quarter! Su's offense in the fourth quarter is too strong, we must stop it! The previous fake double-teams have been cancelled, and all have become real double-teams!"
