NBA’s aging star system

Regarding Su Tian's report, Butler naturally saw it.

When he heard Su Tian say that the Heat would be defeated 4-0, Adebayor next to Butler suddenly shuddered.

"Jimmy, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Adebayor asked with concern.

"I am fine."

Butler had no expression on his face, and after finishing speaking, he turned and left toward the training ground.

"Jimmy, what are you doing?"

"train!"

"But isn't today's training over?"

"Then practice more!!"

At this time, Adebayor wanted to dissuade him again, but was quickly stopped by Vincent on the side.

I saw Vincent whispering: "You don't want your life! If you keep talking, I'll train you!"

After being stopped by Vincent, Adebayor realized how dangerous he was just now.

As for the Lakers, after the Western Conference Finals against the Clippers, Walton directly arranged for the team to have two days of rest.

Although there was no back and forth with the Clippers, the intensity of this series was not low, and the team's main players were consumed a lot.

Even Brunson has some injury risks due to his frequent confrontations with James in the fourth game.

This was discovered by the team doctor during a routine examination.

Except for Brunson, others are not much better. George's shoulder, Kuzma's ankle, and Thick Eyebrow's back all have varying degrees of damage.

In other words, Su Tian still maintained a normal state of health, and the others were more or less uncomfortable.

Time quickly came to the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

This game is still being played in Miami, and the starting lineups of both teams have not changed much.

And because the Celtics defeated the Heat in the third game before, the Celtics are now in particularly good overall condition. The core players are full of confidence and are bound to bring the score back to a 2-2 tie.

However, sometimes things just don't go the way you expect.

After the game started, the Celtics took the lead and immediately took the lead.

Just when the Celtics were about to open up the score, Butler suddenly took action and made several consecutive breakthroughs to the basket causing damage, causing the Celtics' inside line to have to make substitutions and adjustments.

After the Celtics made substitutions and adjustments, Tatum made two consecutive mistakes, causing the offensive rhythm that was finally established to disappear.

The Heat also caught up with the score. At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were only 1 point apart.

During the break, Stevens and Spoelstra began to have an invisible confrontation. The two held tactical boards to explain tactics and talked endlessly.

Soon the second quarter started.

Just when everyone was ready to appreciate the arrangements of the two tactician masters, the Heat's rookie player Shiro began to show his toughness.

Hiero hit three consecutive three-pointers, not only turning a blind eye to Stevens' defensive tactics, but also turning a blind eye to Spoelstra's tactical arrangements.

Although Hiro's approach is not part of the tactical arrangement at this time, at this time, as long as he can score, it is a good goal!

Spoelstra naturally understands this truth, and even took the lead in applauding Hiero from the sidelines. Spoelstra gave enough face.

LeBron James, who was watching the game at this time, had already begun to recall his life in Miami, and tears of envy flowed from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Thanks to Hiero's three-pointers, the Heat directly overtook the score in the second quarter and led the Celtics by 5 points.

At the end of the first half, the Heat still led by 5 points.

At halftime, Stevens and Spoelstra began to rack their brains again to plan tactics for the second half.

Although the Heat took the lead at halftime, it was not a tactical failure, so Stevens was still full of confidence in his arrangement.

Su Tian was also paying attention to this game and was not surprised at all to see the Heat's resilience. Su Tian even expected this.

Soon the intermission ended and the second half began.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the two teams still chose the starting lineup from the first quarter.

Stevens, who was full of confidence at the beginning of the third quarter, was severely beaten.

Not only did Hiero maintain a good condition, but even Butler caused consecutive kills.

On the other hand, the Celtics didn't know if they were hit in the second quarter, which caused Tatum and Brown to be out of shape.

At this time, Stevens could only comfort himself in his heart.

"After all, he is a young player, and it is normal to be a little immature."

But halfway through the third quarter, the Heat opened the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop, and Stevens had to return to reality and call a timeout.

After Tatum came off the court, he covered his head with a towel, and Brown lowered his head and said nothing. Obviously, neither of them was satisfied with their performance.

On the Heat side, the atmosphere was harmonious. Spoelstra was very satisfied with Butler's performance and Herro's performance, even if sometimes the two did not play according to the tactical arrangement.

However, I have to say that Stevens is indeed capable. After the timeout to adjust, the Celtics came on the court again, obviously improved, and the score reached single digits again.

At the end of the third quarter, the score difference between the two teams was once again chased to 5 points.

The fans at the scene were also very surprised by the Celtics' performance. They did not expect that this young team would adjust so quickly.

The two sides played again in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics' condition improved a lot after adjusting.

Tatum hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, and then Brown also broke through and made a contribution, but the Heat did not respond.

Just when everyone thought the Heat were at their wits end, Vincent and Adebayor suddenly stood up. The two scored consecutively through cooperation, stabilizing the Heat's lead.

However, as time goes by, the point difference is slowly getting smaller, and before you know it, the point difference has reached 1 point.

Just when the Celtics were about to catch up with the score, Butler suddenly exerted his strength and hit two consecutive mid-range shots to stabilize the situation.

Immediately afterwards, Butler directly stole Tatum on the defensive end, got the ball and directly counterattacked with a fast break.

At this time, it was too late for the Celtics to chase points.

最终比赛结束，热火109-104拿下比赛，巴特勒拿到26分5助攻6篮板2抢断。

Although Tatum and Brown both scored 20+ for the Celtics, there was no third player who scored 20 points.

The big score in the Eastern Conference Finals came to 3-1, with the Heat leading.

Immediately after this game ended, the Heat's winning rate in the Eastern Conference Finals was significantly increased. Obviously everyone expressed enough respect for the Heat.

To put it bluntly, the Heat's performance convinced all these experts and critics.

After watching this game, Su Tian was basically sure that the Lakers' opponent in the finals would be the Heat.

In the post-game interview, Butler was naturally asked about what Su Tian said before.

"Jimmy, what do you think of what Su said before?"

Butler would not pretend to say that he had not seen the report, but would admit it openly.
