NBA’s aging star system

Butler successfully hit the first goal in the opening game, which was a response to Su Tian's goal, but the thrill of this goal was obvious to all.

Even Butler himself seemed a little surprised when he saw that he hit the ball.

The ball changed again, and Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball. This time, Su Tian also called on his teammates to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and he used the pick-and-roll to directly stop and shoot a jump shot.

Swah——

Su Tian hit the target steadily again.

The Lakers' offense is guaranteed to hit consecutive hits, but the Heat are hanging on.

When Butler attacked with the ball again, he was almost intercepted directly by Su Tian. Butler could only pass the ball to his teammates, but his teammates took shots. After all, the Heat's offense failed to keep up with the Lakers' rhythm.

After the next few rounds, the point difference was widened to more than 20 points, and Spoelstra still called a timeout.

"Kenny, look, I'm just telling you! How could the Lakers lose?" Barkley crossed his arms and looked very proud.

"Charles, don't be happy so early. There is still time in the fourth quarter, and it's not even halfway through the fourth quarter. The Heat still have a chance, although it's only theoretical."

"Okay Kenny, I know you are quibbling, but I can still tell you for sure that I have enough confidence!" Barkley said with a smile.

At this time, on the Heat's bench, Spoelstra was scratching his head with his tactical board. The gap in strength between the two teams was too obvious. The Heat had no other options except to take everything.

Butler also saw Spoelstra's embarrassment, stepped forward and patted Spoelstra on the shoulder.

"Coach, leave the game to me. This is the only way we can do it now, isn't it?"

Sibo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then he nodded.

"Yes, we can only rely on you now, Jimmy."

So Spoelstra no longer bothered with how to arrange the tactics, but began to select teammates for Butler to make substitutions. After the substitution was completed, the timeout ended, and Butler slowly walked onto the court under Spoelstra's expectant eyes.

As for the Lakers, because the time has not yet reached Walton's expected substitution time, they did not make early substitutions. Of course, the most important thing is because the Lakers have an absolute advantage at this time, and Walton has enough confidence.

The timeout ends and the game starts again.

After the Heat made substitutions, the overall combat effectiveness exploded straight up, but if they want to chase points, they still need to put in a lot of effort.

After playing again, Su Tian took the initiative to lead Butler, which forced Butler to give the team's main offensive responsibilities to Vincent and Dragic, as well as Adebayor inside.

However, the Lakers still have thick eyebrows sitting inside, so Adebayor is obviously restricted and unable to perform in a good state. Therefore, in the end, the Heat can only count on Vincent and Dragic for their main offensive responsibilities.

As for the Lakers, Caruso followed Vincent closely. As former teammates, the two were relatively familiar with each other, so after Caruso spent all his energy on defense, Vincent's performance also improved. Relatively average.

After Vincent's attack was blocked, the Heat once again shifted their offensive focus and allowed Dragic to attack with the ball.

As a result, the pressure on Nunn's side seemed to be relatively high, but with Su Tian and Nongmei assisting him, he could barely hold on.

But looking back, the Heat seem to be struggling on the defensive end. Whether it's Butler defending Su Tian or Adebayor's thick eyebrows in charge of defense, neither of them has a matchup advantage and they are struggling on the defensive end.

After a few rounds, the point difference was not caught up, but continued to widen.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Walton took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to use the entire starting lineup and directly ended the game.

"Okay Kenny, don't I say anything more now? I think if this was just a regular season game, and if the Lakers' opponent was not the Heat, then the main players should have been replaced by now and it would be garbage time." Barkley said with both hands For a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.

"Okay Charles, you won this time, but don't be too happy. This game is over, but the next game has not started yet, and the next game will be against Miami. Now, Charles, Do you dare to say that the Lakers still won the third game?"

Kenny Smith's expression looked very cunning, obviously digging a hole for Barkley to jump.

"No problem! Kenny! I will continue to bet with you! The Lakers will still win the next game!"

Buckley naturally understood what Smith meant, so he pretended to be satisfied, as if he didn't even notice the hole dug by Smith.

At this time, the game on the court was gradually coming to an end, and the score difference was still more than 20 points, but Butler was stubborn and unwilling to leave the game.

However, Butler was too immersed in his own world and did not notice that his teammates around him were already feeling war-weary. After all, Butler did not have the bonus of Su Tian's "Big Boss" badge, so it was not surprising that his teammates showed resistance and impatience. Very normal.

In the end, the game ended steadily. The Lakers won the game 125-101, and the big score reached 2-0. The Lakers' lead became more and more obvious.

After the game, Su Tian came to the midfield position as usual. Originally, Su Tian wanted to hug Butler and greet him, but he did not expect that Butler would not come to the midfield position at all. After the game, he turned around and walked back to the locker room.

Looking at Butler's leaving figure, Su Tian also smiled helplessly.

Su Tian knew that Butler was not targeting him, but just because he lost the game and was angry with himself.

Su Tian scored a total of 37 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds in this game, once again serving as the undisputed best player in the game.

However, Butler's performance was not bad. He scored 23 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds. Although the statistics were not high, he was also the undisputed leader of the Heat.

In the post-game interview, a reporter naturally asked Butler about his behavior of turning around and leaving the table after the game.

Butler said: "I didn't mean to be disrespectful to my opponents, it was just because my own performance did not meet my own standards. It was not directed at the Lakers players."

At this time, another reporter stood up and asked: "Butler, as a former Lakers player, what do you think of the current Lakers team?"

Butler thought for a moment and said: "There is no doubt that the Lakers are a very good team. They have an excellent team, excellent coaching staff and management, but now that the Lakers are my opponent, I will naturally come up with something." I will devote all my energy to dealing with it, and I will not be afraid of any opponent.”

At this time, there is also a lot of discussion on the Internet about the predictions of the next games in the finals.

"Although I don't like Barkley's face, I have to admit that the Lakers will definitely win! The Heat are no match for the Lakers."

"The Heat's mental attributes are commendable, but there is no doubt about the strength of the Lakers. The Heat will not have another chance."

"The Lakers are already 2-0. The next game will be in Miami. This should be the Heat's last chance. I just don't know if the Heat can seize it."

"Miami is the home court of the Heat, but the Lakers don't have the tradition of being away from home. The 20-point difference is simply despairing."
