NBA’s aging star system

A game against the Heat allowed George to completely recover.

However, it has been more than two months since the start of this season, and it is normal for George to recover.

On December 12, the Lakers continued to face the Atlanta Hawks away from home.

It is impossible for the current Hawks to have any impact on the Lakers. The Lakers also defeated the Hawks 130-111. The entire Lakers team performed very well, especially George. After the training in the last game, this game still maintained a high level. He performed at a high level and scored 33 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds.

Seeing that George's condition had completely recovered, Su Tian was relieved. After all, Su Tian was exhausted during this period. Now that George can take over, Su Tian can take a breather from time to time.

Because the day after everyone returns to Los Angeles, the Lakers will face the Miami Heat at home. Moreover, the Lakers just defeated the Lakers before, and now they are about to take revenge.

At the end of the game, the Lakers easily won the game 112-100.

This person is not veteran Rose, Griffin, Brando, or Aldridge.

After the game against the Nuggets, the Lakers ushered in a wave of five consecutive home games, and the entire Lakers team could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But the white defender, Rivers.

Now wary, Jokic wanted to make a big splash, but when he came on the court, he realized that Gasol didn't play.

So in this game, Jokic showed his rare aggressiveness. He had a strong desire to attack on the offensive end and continued to succeed in the inside.

Several inside players on the Lakers side were miserable. Aldridge, Griffin, and Cousins ​​were all complaining.

"As long as the Kings can ensure the integrity of the team's lineup this year, they will win the championship this year!"

On January 1, Marc Gasol made a smooth return in the first game of five consecutive home games.

"The Lakers are so lucky! Now they have another Rivers coming off the bench!"

So on the defensive end, Su Tian and George worked very hard. Su Tian locked up Ball, and George interfered and blocked Hayward.

But such a lineup may have great potential in the eyes of others, but in Su Tian's view, the strength of this lineup is very limited and will not have any impact on the Lakers at all.

Harden first dribbled under his crotch to protect the ball as a habit, and then reached out to call Embiid to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

"I agree, with such a big inside advantage, you don't go to the basket, but show off your power outside the three-point line. This is not what an inside player should do." Barkley said.

So Wharton also directly announced a day off.

The person responsible for defending Su Tian is neither Harden nor Melton, but Tucker.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were already trailing by double digits.

Harden was very speechless when he saw this scene, but for the sake of harmony within the team, Harden had no choice but to pass the ball.

Embiid immediately stepped forward for a pick-and-roll, and Harden took the opportunity to break through, but Su Tian quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and immediately faced Harden again.

On January 1, the Lakers played against the Nuggets away from home.

Melton, James Harden, PJ Tucker, Tobias Harris, Embiid.

According to the current situation of Gasol, playing more than 20 minutes in each game is considered normal, which can basically guarantee half of the playing time, which is enough.

So in the end, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets. Su Tian scored 42 points, 15 assists and 6 rebounds, and was still the best player in the game.

"Today's rookies all want to go to the Lakers. After all, none of the rookies coming out of the Lakers are parallel imports."

The ball possession changed, the Lakers attacked, and Su Tian got the ball and came to the frontcourt.

But after hitting the three-pointer, Embiid was very proud, patting his chest and looking up to defend.

Thanks to the performance of the Lakers bench and the cooperation of the Lakers team, this game was easily won.

In the first half alone, thanks to the performance of Su Tian and George, the Lakers were already 10 points ahead.

The Lakers lacked an inside barrier and were under great pressure to defeat the Kings head-on, so Walton thought over and over again and decided to give up the game and rest.

This time the Heat have obviously made more elaborate arrangements. Spoelstra is not a head coach who doesn't know how to adapt. On the contrary, Spoelstra's flexibility and on-the-spot adaptability are extremely excellent.

Basketball strikes, Gasol turned around and directly collected the rebound, quickly passing the ball to George. George held the ball and directly went down the fast break to attract Philadelphia's defensive attention, so he passed the ball to Johnson again.

2-0

"Embid's handling of this ball was too simple. He should have taken advantage of the inside and played it under the basket." Kenny Smith said.

"The teams in the Western Conference must think of a way to let the Lakers face the Kings in the playoffs, so that the Lakers can be stopped and other teams can have a chance!"

Before the game started, Su Tian also found James Harden, and the two hugged each other.

This game is a huge challenge for the Lakers' insiders. After all, Embiid, the insider, has been included in the regular season MVP discussion list.

And Gasol performed very relaxedly and was not greatly affected.

The game started soon after the two separated, and the two teams began to take the field.

"Jimmy, you guys are doing pretty well this season. The team's combat effectiveness is steadily increasing. I guess there is still a lot of hope of reaching the finals." George patted Butler on the shoulder and said.

"James, since you went to the East, the opportunities for the two of us to meet have become less and less." Su Tian felt it.

Running back and forth during this period has caused the entire Lakers team to be very mentally exhausted. This kind of fatigue is not physical, and it cannot be relieved by resting for half a day.

No one thought that this seemingly thin and frail little guy could be so tough when playing. Not only did he hold the ball and rush to the basket and get killed, but he was also very accurate in three-pointers from the outside.

Johnson didn't even dribble when he received the ball. He took two steps forward and passed the ball to Dort at the front.

But at this time, Embiid had been left open, so Harden immediately passed the ball to him.

On January 2023, 1, the Lakers ushered in the first game of the new year and the last game of this wave of five consecutive away games, playing away against the Charlotte Hornets.

It seemed that the score difference was not big, but in fact, the Heat had already replaced the main players and surrendered two minutes before the end of the game. On the contrary, after replacing the bench, the score difference between the two teams was even closer.

Su Tian clearly knows that although Harden's explosive power has declined due to his leg injury, he still cannot be underestimated.

The Lakers also won this game easily. Although the current Mavericks are full of offensive capabilities, they are still one level behind the league's championship-level teams.

"The King's champion! The King's ten-year-old fan, here uninvited!"

In fact, to put it bluntly, the Heat are only a strong team in the playoffs. If they want to reach the championship level, they still need to make some changes.

boom--

Walton originally wanted to go all out to win this game, but Marc Gasol suddenly developed muscle soreness, and the team doctor recommended a truce.
