NBA’s aging star system

After all, Mitchell is still a rookie player. Although he has grown a lot after nearly a season of training, the gap between him and Su Tian's level is still obvious.

The ball was given to the Jazz again, and Rubio still held the ball and chose to start in the pick-and-roll, but this time the Lakers' defensive cooperation was very good, and Rubio did not find a chance, so he passed the ball to Mitchell.

Mitchell got the ball and was very excited when faced with the opportunity to beat Su Tian with the ball. After all, Su Tian is also a famous star. If he can pull Su Tian down, he will definitely become famous.

Just like when Su Tian pulled Wade down and achieved his own success.

However, the difference is that Wade is already in a period of degeneration, while Su Tian is in his prime, not to mention degenerating, and is still on the rise.

After Mitchell got the ball, he called his teammates to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to break through with the ball. Su Tian quickly bypassed the screen and caught up with Mitchell.

Su Tian always maintained a defensive position, looming in front of Mitchell. After the two came to the basket, Mitchell wanted to push Su Tian away for a layup, but in order to avoid being blocked by Su Tian, ​​Mitchell deliberately raised his shot. point, causing the shooting action to deform.

boom--

Basketball struck iron, Su Tian turned around and collected the rebound directly.

After getting the rebound, Su Tian started the fast break with the ball, and the entire Lakers team followed suit.

Su Tian took the lead and ran at the front. Mitchell, who was young and energetic, followed closely behind Su Tian. He led Mitchell to the frontcourt and attracted the defense. Su Tian hit the ground and passed the ball accurately to the one behind him. Ingram, Ingram received the ball and dunked directly.

4-4

The two sides were temporarily tied, but the situation on the court was still obvious. In the next few rounds, Su Tian began to take over the team's ball and led the team to score continuously while facing off against Mitchell on the defensive end. , gave this rookie a good education.

At the end of the first quarter, the score reached 32-24, and the Lakers led by 8 points to end the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Mitchell sat on the bench with a look of doubt on his life. Throughout the first quarter, Mitchell struggled to survive under Su Tian's defense. He made 4 of 0 shots and only got 1 rebound and 1 assist.

In the second quarter, Su Tian took a break and the Lakers came on the bench, with Ingram and Randall leading the team.

Mitchell was also temporarily placed off the court by the coach to rest, while Rubio led the team on the court.

Rubio does have a certain level of strength and led the team to play back and forth with the Lakers. Halfway through the second quarter, the Lakers called a timeout and made regular tactical adjustments while substituting Su Tian again.

After Su Tian came on the court, Rubio was directly suppressed by Su Tian. The so-called field control between Rubio and Su Tian was still far behind.

At the end of the second quarter, the score reached 63-51, and the Lakers led the Jazz by 12 points at halftime.

During halftime, Mitchell was chewing his fingernails in the locker room, thinking and comparing the gap with Su Tian.

Throughout the first half, Mitchell only scored 4 points when Su Tian did not play, and then did not score again.

There is no doubt that Mitchell is a very ambitious player, always thinking about improving himself and then leading the team, but the matchup with Su Tian shows that there is indeed a gap between himself and the league's star players.

This is a blow to Mitchell, but it is also an incentive. Without pressure, there is no motivation.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, the Lakers once again brought all the main starting players on the field. Facing the Lakers' starting Jazz, there was no resistance. Su Tian only took half a quarter to stabilize the point difference at 18 points, and then it was leisurely. Leisurely ended up resting.

Su Tian sat off the court for half a quarter, observing the situation on the court. At this time, Mitchell was also sent on the court by the Jazz to play against the Lakers' bench.

Without Su Tian on the court, Mitchell's performance was still remarkable, which was already very good for a rookie.

But Mitchell at this stage is not enough to change the situation on the field, and the point difference on the field has not changed much.

Su Tian came on the court again in the fourth quarter. At this time, the point difference on the court was still around 15 points. This point difference was enough for the Lakers to win the game. It was nothing more than winning more and losing less.

After Su Tian came up, he directly intercepted Rubio's pass in the first round and directly formed a fast break.

He ran to the frontcourt with the ball and dunked directly.

At the very beginning, he stole and dunked on a fast break, which effectively dampened the Jazz's motivation to chase points, and also improved the morale of the Lakers themselves.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian succeeded in singles with the ball. Jazz head coach Schneider couldn't help but call a timeout. After the timeout, all the main starting players were replaced.

Because the Lakers were leading by many points, and Schneider knew about Su Tian's explosive attributes in the fourth quarter, he could only replace the main players in advance to gain a glimmer of hope.

After replacing the main players, the Jazz temporarily stabilized the situation and did not let the Lakers widen the point difference, but they were not able to catch up with the point difference.

Two minutes before the end of the game, the score difference was still double digits. The Jazz called a timeout and replaced all the main players, announcing their surrender.

The Lakers also replaced their main players and replaced them with substitutes.

In the end, the game ended, 117-101, and the Lakers won the game.

Now the Lakers and Rockets are secretly competing. The two teams have the same number of losses. The Lakers are temporarily ranked first due to their head-to-head advantage. But as long as the Lakers lose one game, the Rockets can complete the lead. It depends on the two teams. Who can't hold on anymore?

On April 4, the Lakers returned to their home court and faced the Spurs back-to-back.

On April 4st, the Spurs had just defeated the Rockets. Although it was related to the Rockets' failure to hit a three-pointer, they had to admit that the Spurs could not be ignored.

Therefore, Su Tian also attaches great importance to this game and does warm-up activities carefully before the game.

The Spurs' current record is only 45 wins and 33 losses, and their spot in the playoffs is not stable. If you are not careful, you can easily be kicked out of the playoffs. Therefore, in the last few games of the regular season, the Spurs will try their best to win. of.

Soon, the game started, with the Spurs' starting lineup, Mills, Murray, Kyle Anderson, Aldridge, and Pau Gasol.

The Lakers still have their regular starting lineup.

The Spurs got the ball at the opening, and Mills advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Instead of passing the ball directly, he held the ball and directed his teammates to move, hoping to make a tactic first.

After a period of tactical movement, Mills passed the ball to Aldridge in the high post. Aldridge got the ball without stopping, and broke through to the basket with the ball, successfully attracting the Lakers to double-team the defense, and then passed the ball to the bottom corner. Kyle Anderson.

Anderson got the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

In terms of tactical completion, there was no problem with this wave of the Spurs. The tactical completion was extremely high and the tactical intention was fully realized. However, it is a pity that the final finish was not completed.

boom--

Anderson hit a three-pointer, and Lopez got the rebound.

After Lopez got the rebound, he quickly passed the ball to Su Tian, ​​and the Lakers' fast break was directly formed.

Su Tian immediately ran to the frontcourt and dunked directly.
