NBA’s aging star system

According to the arrangement of head coach Walton, the starting lineup for the new season is Su Tian, ​​Dort, Johnson, George, and Thick Eyebrow.

The substitute lineup is Rose, Rivers, Brando, Griffin, and Aldridge.

On the bench are Rondo, Zeng Fanbo and Cousins.

Rondo's strength has indeed declined significantly, especially on the offensive end, so Walton put Rose and Rivers on the bench to supplement the team's offensive power, and Rivers' three-pointer can help the bench to open up space. , is a good three-pointer.

An experienced Rondo sitting on the bench can also add more tactical diversity to the team, and the help to these young players is also very obvious.

As for Zeng Fanbo, this guy has not yet reached NBA standards. If he wants to get stable playing time, he still needs to constantly polish his skills. But now he has come to the Lakers, relying on Su Tian's "Juyi Hall" badge, said Maybe Zeng Fanbo can grow a lot and surpass his original strength.

The Lakers' first game of the regular season is against their old rival in last season's Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors.

Because the Warriors did not win the championship this season, the team's development is different from reality. Although Poole also signed a good contract, it was not that big and he still stayed in the team. Wiggins also He found his place in Golden State and also chose to renew his contract.

The Warriors as a whole have retained their previous main structure, and the team's combat effectiveness is still strong.

It's just that Su Tian understands that the Warriors have internal conflicts. This conflict is not the conflict between Green and Poole, but the conflict between Poole and Clay regarding playing time.

Clay's strength has been affected by injuries, and the decline has become more and more obvious. Poole's growth is visible to the naked eye, so it is inevitable that the two will have conflicts in playing time. This is also inevitable. They can only rely on the internal strength of the team. Resolve it yourself.

If the team cannot resolve it on its own, then once it breaks out, it will inevitably directly affect the entire team.

Soon the time came to the game, and players from both sides began to take the field.

The starting lineup for the Warriors is Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Green, and Rooney.

Nongmei and Rooney stood in the center circle, and Nongmei easily took the lead.

The thick eyebrow did not indulge himself too much during the offseason. He quickly adjusted his condition at the beginning of the season and is now basically back to normal. However, if he wants to return to his previous playoff form, he still needs game experience. .

Su Tian stepped forward to receive the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

This season Su Tian switches to the No. 1 position, which is bad news for the No. 1 position in the entire league, including Curry of course.

Facing Curry's defense, Su Tian did not force a strike, but stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to run the strategy.

After a series of tactical moves, the thick eyebrows came forward to set up a pick-and-roll for Su Tian. Su Tian used the pick-and-roll to break through, successfully attracting the Warriors' double-team defense, and then passed a pass to Johnson outside the three-point line.

Johnson received the ball and made a three-point fake shot to shake Wiggins, then broke through again with the ball, came to the mid-range position and made an emergency jump shot.

Swah——

Although this mid-range does not have the bonus of Su Tian's passing, Johnson has been able to hit the ball steadily with his own personal ability.

As this game is the opening game of the league, there are naturally many old friends in the audience who don’t know each other well, and it is also scheduled to be broadcast live nationwide.

"Good ball, Keldon Johnson seems to have improved a lot and should be able to make more contributions to the team in the new season." Barkley said.

"The talents of these young people in the Lakers are very scary, and the Lakers seem to have had some shit luck in the past two years. All the players they selected have grown up, even some of the undrafted players they signed before have grown to... Now, there is no shortage of buyers,” Kenny Smith said.

"I think this is not just the ability of these players themselves, but also has something to do with Su himself. With excellent players like Su Tian by his side, these young players have better guidance and will naturally grow faster. Moreover, the Lakers have been able to reach the playoffs every year and have even won the championship for four consecutive years, which is very valuable game experience." Barkley said.

After hearing what Barkley said, Kenny Smith nodded in agreement. Even some well-known players in the NBA have not played as many playoff games in their entire careers as the Lakers have played in the past five years.

At this time, several rounds have been played back and forth on the court. For the Lakers, Su Tian still focuses on organizing the team, so he does not have such an advantage on the offensive end. At this time, Walton also took advantage of the dead ball opportunity. Substitution adjustments were made, George was taken off the field and replaced by Brando.

After the Lakers made substitutions, Su Tian began to increase the proportion of his shots. The team's offensive efficiency skyrocketed, and Su Tian's shooting percentage also remained high.

At the end of the first quarter, 31-29, the Lakers temporarily led by 2 points, and Su Tian took a rest off the court as usual.

On the court, George is allowed to lead the team. Of course, along with George are Rose, Rivers and others.

Dort's current defense is stronger than offense, so Dort is best to play with Su Tian, ​​so as to better balance the team's overall offense and defense.

With Su Tian's leadership, even if Dort's shooting percentage is low, the team's offense is still guaranteed.

The Warriors also made substitution adjustments. Curry and others are hereafter referred to as Poole, Kuminga and others.

The bench lineups of the two sides competed, and the Lakers' bench lineup was obviously not as cooperative as the Warriors.

In fact, it is a normal phenomenon. After all, the Lakers' bench was only formed this season, and the Warriors have already experienced the test of the playoffs.

So not long after the start of the second quarter, the Warriors completed the lead. At this time, when George wanted to rely on his own personal ability to score, he suddenly discovered that eating fat had a great impact on him.

"It seems that I have to lose weight. If I don't lose weight, I really can't keep up with the rhythm of the team." George thought to himself.

However, although the Warriors took the lead on the field, Walton did not rush to make substitution adjustments. Instead, he waited until halfway through the second quarter before bringing Su Tian and others on board again.

At this time, the Lakers have gone from leading by 2 points to falling behind by 5 points.

Su Tian just came on the field and immediately hit hard with the ball, facing Poole's defense with accurate hits.

Upon seeing this, Cole immediately made substitution adjustments and asked Wiggins to defend in front of Su Tian.

Wiggins' defense is indeed better than Poole's, but facing Su Tian who is attacking with all his strength, it just makes Su Tian spend a little more energy.

In addition, thick eyebrows are causing trouble inside the Warriors. No one in the Warriors' insiders can be a match for thick eyebrows.

At the end of the second quarter, Su Tian and Nong Mei took only half a quarter to overtake the score from a 5-point deficit again and take a 5-point lead.

"I have to say that judging from the first half of the game, Su Tian's performance is still very good, and he is still worthy of the title of the number one active player. However, the decline in the overall strength of the Lakers is also visible to the naked eye. Not only that, Paul - I think everyone has seen George's decline," Barkley said.
