NBA’s aging star system

After communicating with Randall, the two met for additional training the next day.

Of course, Su Tian didn't just want to accompany Randall, Su Tian also wanted to integrate himself with the Magician's star card as soon as possible.

Magician's star card is so powerful that Su Tian will probably take a long time to fuse it.

After the training, Randall and Su Tian sat together and chatted.

"Su, do you remember that boy James Young?" Randall said while wiping sweat.

"Of course I remember, he seems to have gone to the Bucks this offseason." Su Tian replied.

"Yes, I signed a training camp contract with the Bucks in September, but it was waived some time ago." Randall said.

"Laid off?"

Su Tian couldn't help but think of the season when he first entered the NBA, when James Young treated him to dinner when he went to Boston to play.

"In our team back then, you were the best now. He didn't dare to tell you. After all, he was also the 17th pick in the first round during the draft. He felt a little embarrassed." Randall sighed.

"Then where is he now? Has he found a new home?"

"Not yet, I heard that we are still in contact with other teams."

After saying this, the two of them stopped talking and fell into silence for a period of time.

"Julius, if he hasn't been found yet, let him come to the Lakers for a tryout. Although I don't know if it will succeed, at least I can give him a chance." Su Tian turned to Randall and said.

"Okay, I'll tell him right now." Randall said.

Randall's words reminded Su Tian of his former teammate James Young. James Young's shooting was okay, but his defense and ball handling were not up to standard. Even when he came to the Lakers, he was just a water dispenser keeper.

Of course, if you can practice defense, it should be enough to be a 3D player.

On October 10st, the Lakers continued to sit at home and welcomed the Detroit Pistons.

Compared with the Lakers, the Pistons' advantage lies in rebounding. Su Tian doesn't know why, but Lopez is so tall that his rebounding is a mess.

Maybe this is the punishment for having three-point ability.

The Lakers' starting lineup for this game is still Ball, Su Tian, ​​Ingram, Larry Nance, and Lopez.

The Pistons' starting lineup is Reggie Jackson, Avery Bradley, Stanley Johnson, Tobias Harris, and Andre Drummond.

Soon, the game started, and the Pistons easily won the opening ball.

Reggie Jackson pushed forward with the ball to move the frontcourt. He first found Harris to start the pick-and-roll. He used the pick-and-roll to break through the basket and attract Lopez to help defend. He passed the ball to Drummond, who scored a layup.

0-2

The Pistons felt good at the start, but of course the main problem was that Ball's defense was easily broken through by Reggie.

The ball possession changed and it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

Ball came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball steadily to Su Tian.

As the schedule progresses, Ball's passing in these games has become more and more stable, at least he will no longer be easily intercepted by his opponents.

Su Tian got the ball, faced Bradley, and called Lopez to come up for a pick-and-roll.

Su Tian broke through directly with the help of the pick and roll. Drummond stepped forward to help defend against the delay. Su Tian took the opportunity to break through to the basket again and succeeded in a layup.

2-2

Now all teams defending Su Tian have to face a problem. When Su Tian and Lopez cooperate in the pick-and-roll, whether the big center should go out.

If the center goes out to guard Lopez's three-pointer, Su Tian can easily lay up. If the big center doesn't go out, Lopez can take an open shot.

Of course, if the defender chooses to go behind, Su Tian will directly shoot a three-pointer.

In this situation, unless the big center's speed and reaction are very fast, it will be difficult to defend against.

The Pistons faced such troubles throughout the first quarter.

Drummond's rebounding is indeed very good and his defense is also good, but facing the defender Su Tian, ​​his speed seems much slower and he cannot keep up with Su Tian's breakthrough.

But when Drummond didn't come out, Su Tian took a mid-range shot or passed the ball to Lopez.

As a result, 33-23 in the first quarter, the Lakers led by 10 points in a single quarter.

After taking the lead in the first quarter, Su Tian began to change his style of play. In the second quarter, he mainly passed the ball to assist his teammates.

After half the second quarter, Su Tian was replaced by the coach. Without Su Tian in the second quarter, although the Lakers' offense was not so smooth at first, they still maintained the situation on the court.

At the end of the first half, the score reached 58-45, and the Lakers led by 13 points at halftime.

During the halftime break, Walton did not arrange any special tactics, but emphasized listening to Su Tian's command.

Soon, the third quarter began and the Lakers began to rotate players.

Su Tian, ​​Pope, Kuzma, Randle, Larry Nance.

The Pistons are lagging behind and are playing with their full lineup.

Before going on the court, Su Tian found Randall and said, "Julius, be more decisive when I pass the ball to you later. Don't be afraid of missing the shot."

Although Randall didn't know why Su Tian, ​​he nodded. Randall knew that Su Tian would not harm him.

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

After arriving in the frontcourt, he signaled Randall to step forward to pick and roll, and Su Tian directly screened and made a breakthrough.

Su Tian's breakthrough speed was not fast and he successfully attracted a double team. So Su Tian passed the ball from behind to Randall who was left open at the top of the key.

Randall caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

With Su Tian's addition, Randall's three-pointers are also quite accurate.

61-45

The ball rights transitioned and the Pistons attacked.

Reggie wanted to break through Su Tian's defense with the ball, but he wasn't paying attention and was intercepted by Su Tian.

Su Tian immediately started a fast break with the ball, and Randall, who was always paying attention to Su Tian, ​​also started a fast break.

Reggie followed Su Tian closely, and the two came to the basket. Su Tian pretended to jump for a layup, shaking Reggie who was chasing him, and then passed the ball to Randall who was following him. Randall took the ball. The ball was dunked directly.

63-45

Randall, who had scored consecutively, seemed very excited and took the initiative to find Su Tian to give high fives to celebrate.

As the seventh overall lottery pick, Randall has no doubt his athletic ability and his drive, but he lacks a "Su Tian" to lead him.

With Randall's dunk, the Lakers immediately boosted their morale when they first came on the court.

Morale is something that waxes and wanes. When the Lakers' morale goes up, the Pistons' morale naturally goes down.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian not only assisted Randall, but also assisted other teammates, leaving the Pistons completely unable to focus on defense.

Halfway through the third quarter, Su Tian came off the court again to rest and prepare for the fourth quarter.

At this time, Randall was already in form, so Walton did not replace him and chose to let Randall play a few more games.

Randall did not live up to expectations. He did perform better than usual when he played with confidence. Although he also contributed 2 turnovers, Walton was very satisfied with the energy of this game.

Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score reached 87-72, and the Lakers' lead reached 15 points.
