NBA’s aging star system

Seeing the referee's gesture, Gordon expressed disbelief, but then the previous scene was replayed on the big screen, and he found that Cousins ​​had already stood in position, and there was no problem in calling the offensive foul.

This can also be regarded as the experience of a veteran.

Su Tian immediately stepped forward and pulled Cousins ​​up from the ground. After Cousins ​​stood up, he patted his chest hard to show his toughness.

The team currently lacks talent inside, and it would be a good thing if Cousins ​​can show his tough and iron-blooded side.

The ball was given to the Lakers. Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Murray's defense, he directly chose to break through. This time he broke through directly to the basket, used a pull rod to avoid Jordan's defense, and scored a layup.

After the fourth quarter, Su Tian's finishing ability improved a lot.

Malone was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, trying to bring Jokic on the court again, but at this time Jokic was sitting on the bench gasping for air, obviously his strength had not yet recovered.

The score difference came to 12 points, and the Nuggets attacked again.

With their previous experience, the Nuggets did not go for the basket this time. Instead, they used tactical movement and cooperation to get a three-point opportunity, and they were lucky enough to hit the three-pointer.

The score difference returned to 9 points again.

The ball was transferred, and Su Tian once again held the ball to attack. This time, Su Tian used the pick and roll of his teammates to pull Jordan out from the basket. He easily reached the basket with a breakthrough and dunked directly with both hands.

Jordan is no longer at his peak, and his movement speed is also much slower. After coming out of the basket, it is very difficult to return to the basket in time to defend.

At this time, the point difference was once again widened to double digits, and Su Tian's personal score had exceeded the 50-point mark.

"Su's personal score has exceeded 50 points! It seems that scoring 60 points today is not a problem!"

"To be honest, in the past few seasons, Su rarely scored high points."

"Yes, the Lakers used to be strong as a whole and had many players who could play. They didn't need Su to score too many points, but it's different now."

"There is indeed a problem with the team's scoring now. Only one Su Tian is left to be able to output stably."

"It's really hard for Su. He leads the team by himself. The last time Su was alone was in his first year with the Lakers."

Fans were talking a lot about Su Tian's performance, but Malone on the sidelines was not in the same mood.

Ma Longyan saw that something was wrong on the court and immediately called a timeout.

"We must limit Su's performance on the defensive end. We don't expect to be able to block him. At least we can't let him score so easily again."

"On the offensive end, we must try to avoid Su's position. His defensive strength cannot be underestimated. We must play more."

But Malone knew that it would be difficult to directly limit Su's performance with a restricted lineup, and it would also be difficult to keep up with the Lakers' offensive rhythm. Malone wanted to bring Jokic onto the court.

"Nicholas, how are you feeling now? Can you play?"

Jokic shook his head and said: "Coach is not good, my physical strength is too much, I need to rest."

As a European player, Jokic has a very strong sense of protecting himself and will never show off.

In fact, Jokic is not particularly enthusiastic about winning the NBA championship, at least now, there is no championship complex.

Hearing Jokic's answer, Malone was also very helpless, but he did not force Jokic to play.

The timeout soon ended and the game continued.

Originally, Su Tian thought that Jokic would play during this timeout, but when he found Jokic still sitting firmly off the court, he immediately understood Jokic's plan.

So Su Tian was not polite and continued to score points with the ball. After a while, the score reached 58 points.

The point difference between the two teams came to 12 points.

"With almost half a quarter left and a 12-point difference, the Nuggets' chances are slim," Barkley said.

"Su's personal score has reached 58 points! It will break through 60 points soon!" Kenny Smith said.

Then Barkley said: "I don't know if there is a chance to break 70 points today."

"However, Su's assists are not many today. There are only 7 so far, which is relatively small compared to his usual performance."

"There is no way around this. Scoring and assists must always focus on one."

At this time, while the two commentators were chatting, Jokic came to Malone's side.

"Coach, I feel like I'm almost recovered and ready to play."

"Okay, get ready, come on now!"

Malone immediately called a timeout.

The Nuggets immediately made substitution adjustments, and Malone also picked up the tactical board and began to rearrange tactics.

At this time, the Lakers' bench.

"Coach, the Nuggets should have the entire main lineup, and the defensive end should hinder my personal performance, so I think I should be allowed to attract the defense and assist my teammates next!"

Walton was also very surprised when he heard what Su Tian said. After all, few players can stay calm when facing high scores.

"Su, you are right. Let's follow what you said. Next, we will set Su as a bait. Others must take action resolutely after receiving the ball! Don't hesitate!"

Then Walton also arranged several relatively simple passing assist tactics.

The timeout ended soon, and the main players of both sides returned to the court again.

The Nuggets had the ball at this time. Murray came to the frontcourt with the ball. After encountering Su Tian's defense, he immediately passed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic received the ball and did not rush to take action. Instead, he observed the movement and cooperation of his teammates.

Continuous tactical moves, with exquisite cooperation, really allowed the Nuggets to get a three-point opportunity. Jokic immediately passed the ball to Gordon in the bottom corner, and Gordon took the ball and shot directly for a three-pointer.

Swah——

Gordon's three-pointer was not good, but it is particularly important now. The point difference between the two teams returned to 9 points again.

The ball possession changed, the Lakers attacked, and Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Faced with the Nuggets' strict defense, Su Tian had already anticipated it and reached out to call Gasol to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, using the pick-and-roll to break through to the basket.

He was immediately double-teamed by the Nuggets, and just after the Nuggets' double-team, Su Tian passed the ball from a tricky angle to Gasol, who was open outside the three-point line.

Gasol is capable of three-pointers. When he receives a pass, he remembers the coach's instructions and immediately shoots a three-pointer.

The moment Gasol took action, Su Tian also silently activated the "super assist" in the system.

Swah——

The three-pointer hit directly.

Seeing the three-pointer, Gasol and Walton on the sidelines shook their fists involuntarily.

This three-pointer was of great significance, not only widening the point difference to double digits.

It's more because this will make the Nuggets hesitant to double-team, wondering whether to resolutely double-team. This will also give Su Tian a better chance to score.

The Nuggets attacked again. This time Jokic held the ball under the basket and hit hard. After a continuous back attack, he turned around and hit a hook shot.

Gasol had already defended this ball very hard, but he couldn't hold off Jokic's ability to hit hard at the basket.
