NBA’s aging star system

On January 1, when the Lakers played against the Trail Blazers away from home, Walton directly chose to rest to protect his players.

Of course, this is also because after this away game, the Lakers have to return to their home court, so traveling back and forth is not cost-effective.

Moreover, since the trade, the Trail Blazers have gone downhill even more, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before Lillard leaves.

After resting the main lineup, the Trail Blazers, led by Lillard, also went crazy and defeated the Lakers.

But now Su Tian has no time to care about Lillard's thoughts.

Because the same-city derby between the Lakers and Clippers is here again.

On January 1, the Lakers faced the Clippers at home.

"The difference is only 5 points. To be honest, I feel that the Clippers performed well and played very well."

Johnson received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Although James was suspected of passing the blame, at least he didn't make any moves.

When Su Tian returned to defense, he saw the two of them high-fiving each other. They seemed to have a very good relationship.

As soon as Su Tian got the ball, Reggie and Powell came towards Su Tian, ​​so Su Tian passed the ball again to Dort who was running in front.

Against James' defense, Su Tian did not call a pick-and-roll, but instead signaled for his teammates to pull away.

But he found that Su Tian's speed was getting faster and faster, and he couldn't catch up at all.

As Smith said, the current Clippers are very dangerous because the time in the fourth quarter is decreasing step by step.

But it's a pity that it's a three-pointer.

With George's cooperation, Su Tian also completed his response to the Clippers very easily.

It was not until the end of the second quarter that Su Tiancai finally led his team to catch up with the score.

The Clippers players made continuous moves and after a period of tactical cover, James took advantage of the momentum of the breakthrough and passed a ground pass to Leonard who was cutting in the air.

After his teammates were all separated, Su Tian first changed direction significantly to shake James' defensive focus, and then relied on his explosiveness and speed advantage to break through James' blockade.

After both sides made substitutions and adjustments, the timeout ended and the game continued.

At this time, Su Tian came to the frontcourt again with the ball. This time he did not pass the ball to George. Instead, he broke through with the ball, successfully attracted the Clippers' double-team, and then passed the ball to the three-point line. Dort was shorted outside.

Halfway through the third quarter, the score difference between the two teams was still in a state of tangle, but Walton still replaced Su Tian to rest.

But even if the Lakers are injured and missing a thick eyebrow, they still have the basics of Su Tian and George. If they want to defeat the Lakers, they still need tactical suppression and cooperation.

But Su Tian did not rush directly to the basket as Zubac imagined. Instead, he stopped directly near the free throw line and took a jump shot.

2-0

The Clippers' first offense ended in failure and was also counterattacked by the Lakers.

After reaching the basket, Leonard was double-teamed by George and Gasol, and Leonard forced a layup.

But things are different now. Now that the thick eyebrows are gone, Wharton no longer dares to make a big deal.

It was Leonard who stepped forward to block James, and when Su Tian passed by Leonard, Leonard secretly pulled Su Tian.

So Su Tian first held the ball and kept hitting hard, trying to quickly catch up with the score.

"The Clippers did perform well in this game, but they still have to be cautious. The Lakers are not that simple."

Su Tian counted James' steps, one step, two steps, and Su Tian took the lead in jumping.

After returning to the court, the morale of the Clippers recovered a lot. James and Leonard cooperated again and scored a goal to stabilize the situation.

"Actually, judging from the data this season, Su's mid-range shooting percentage has not increased significantly, but the reason why it gives everyone such an illusion is because this season, the proportion and number of Su's mid-range shots have increased significantly. This That makes everyone feel that Su’s mid-range shot is becoming more and more stable,” Kenny Smith said.

So the Clippers attacked again. This time James held the ball at the top of the arc to organize the team's offense.

"The two sides are really tit for tat. If you score a goal, I will score a score as well. If you have someone to step up, someone on my side will also step up." Barkley said with emotion.

The Clippers' offense was still a coordinated tactic between the two stars. This time Leonard passed the ball and assisted James for a layup.

The Clippers' prospects of winning the championship this season are still good. Leonard's injury has recovered, at least it won't be like the previous seasons.

Cousins ​​got the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Su Tian, ​​who directly launched a fast break with the ball.

At this time, Tyronn Lue on the sidelines called a timeout very promptly.

boom--

Originally the score difference was only 5 points, but after a few rounds, the score difference has reached 9 points. If Su Tian puts in a little more effort, the score difference will reach double digits.

Being influenced by Leonard, Su Tian failed to step forward and block James in time, so he could only follow James and constantly prevent interference.

After calling the timeout, Tyronn Lue quickly made substitution adjustments, took on the entire starting lineup, and rearranged the defensive tactics against Su Tian.

There was no accident in this goal, it was scored directly.

The Clippers, like the Lakers, retain a giant on the court.

Swah——

When Su Tian came to the basket, there was no one around him. James was chasing after him. Leonard, Zubac and others had not yet reacted.

Maybe James saw the hope of winning the championship.

At this time, in the locker rooms of both sides, the head coaches on both sides were not relaxing.

At the end of the first quarter, 33-29, the Lakers temporarily led by 4 points.

But at this time, James did not look down on Su Tian's defense at all, and was even more serious and cautious than before.

The Lakers finally responded by joining the Clippers.

James' fast break is as fierce as a tiger and is not easy to stop.

Su Tian used the pick-and-roll to temporarily get rid of James' defense, and then burst into the three-point line. Upon seeing this, Zubac immediately turned around and returned to defend the basket.

So Su Tian succeeded in an easy layup.

When the thick eyebrows were still there before, Walton was still relatively confident and would not make adjustments just because the opponent made substitutions.

Swah——

Soon the game started. The two teams still had the same starting lineup, but the Lakers' center became Marc Gasol.

However, the Clippers' offense happened to be very smooth during this period. They hit consecutive shots and the point difference between the two teams did not narrow.

Dort received the ball and hit a layup directly.

Dort received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

60-60, at the end of the first half, the two teams were tied.

When the ball was transferred, Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball. Faced with James' personal defense, he directly reached out and called Gasol to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

Three eight, one sixty two, one four, five one

When the Lakers were attacking, George was still holding the ball and wanted to pass the ball to assist Su Tian. However, Johnson made an extremely smart reverse run and directly threw away the defender. He successfully cut to the basket and George quickly passed the ball to him.

Johnson received the ball and hit a layup directly.
