NBA’s aging star system

James chose to play from behind from the three-point line, and Su Tian used his strength to resist while waiting for an opportunity to steal.

But this time James was obviously more cautious and was not caught by Su Tian. James saw the right moment and passed the ball to Pope outside the three-point line when his back hit the free throw line.

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

Swah——

Pope's shooting speed is very fast, coupled with his height advantage, he can directly hit the three-pointer.

The ball rights transitioned and the Lakers attacked.

At present, the Lakers still hold the lead, so Su Tian does not panic at all. In the next few rounds, Su Tian led the Lakers to play steadily, and the point difference stabilized at around 15 points.

James on the Clippers side seemed a little anxious, and was once again intercepted by Su Tian and successfully counterattacked.

After this counterattack, Tyronn Lue made a very quick substitution and took James off the field directly.

"LeBron, don't try to compete with Su. That's not your battlefield. You need to take a rest first."

Tyronn Lue's tone was very mild, but James knew that Tyronn Lue also saw his difficulty.

But James didn't say much, but nodded and returned to the bench.

Not long after the Clippers made substitution adjustments, halfway through the third quarter, the Lakers also made substitution adjustments. Su Tian and Nong Mei came off the court to rest, and George and others began to lead the team.

The game in the second half of the third quarter was relatively smooth without too many twists and turns.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still led by 16 points.

According to the standards of last season, the Lakers were still leading by double digits entering the fourth quarter, so this game was basically won.

But this is also related to the strength of the Lakers' bench last season. This season the strength of the Lakers' bench has declined. It is unknown whether they still have such dominance.

Soon the fourth quarter began.

For the Lakers, Su Tian and Nong Mei still lead the bench.

Dort, Nunn, Su Tian, ​​Kuzma, thick eyebrows.

The Clippers seem to pay a lot of attention to it. James and Leonard appear in the lineup at the same time.

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

Facing James' defense, Su Tian seemed very calm at this time. After dribbling from the hip, he changed direction and broke out again.

James immediately turned around and tried to keep up with the defense, but it was too difficult.

Leonard on the side also saw James' difficulty, so he immediately double-teamed Su Tian to defend.

Just when Leonard thought Su Tian was going to pass the ball, Su Tian turned around and completed another breakthrough.

At this time, Su Tian continuously broke through the defenses of James and Leonard, collected the ball directly, and made a jump shot.

Swah——

Basketball hits steadily.

With the blessing of the "King of the End" status, Su Tian's attribute values ​​have already exceeded the human upper limit of 100, and the combat power he exerted cannot be measured by common sense.

But the Clippers were obviously not willing to give in. The ball was switched, the Clippers attacked, and James advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, James ignored Su Tian who was defending him and gave the ball to Leonard.

Leonard got the ball and faced Kuzma, reaching out to call Beverley to come forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of his teammates, Leonard forced Kuzma and Dort to switch defenses, and Leonard and Dort successfully faced off.

At this time, the other Clippers players saw that the matchup was successful and immediately opened up the space under the basket, providing Leonard with ample space for singles.

Leonard is also very direct. After a simple change of direction, he explodes towards the basket.

Dort was naturally no match for Leonard, and Leonard carried him all the way to the basket.

But just when Leonard was about to go for a layup, the thick-browed help came and was about to slap him hard.

But Leonard seemed to be prepared and passed the ball to Zubac.

Zubac received the ball and took a two-point shot.

Swah——

Zubac made a solid hit.

"It seems that the Clippers are well prepared this time!" Barkley couldn't help but said after seeing the Clippers' performance.

"This is natural. This is also testing the details of the Lakers' season. The Clippers will naturally not be ambiguous." Kenny Smith said.

As Kenny Smith said, this game is not only the opening game of the season, but also a game to test the Lakers' details.

And it is not just a few teams that are paying attention to this game, but basically more than half of the teams in the league are paying attention.

The Lakers have now embarked on the path of "public enemy of the league". No team is willing for the Lakers to successfully defend their title and win three consecutive championships.

In fact, the Lakers have been robbed of so many substitute players this season, and everyone's hostility has become less, but they still attach great importance to it.

If, like before, the Warriors, who have won two consecutive championships, sign Cousins ​​at a minimum salary to form an unprecedented five-star battleship, then everyone's hostility will explode!

At this time, the game on the court was still going on, and the Clippers seemed to no longer care about the point difference, and were just constantly using various tricks to test the Lakers' details.

As for the Lakers, with Su Tian in charge, they are naturally as stable as Mount Tai and still maintain a very safe double-digit point difference.

Until about halfway through the fourth quarter, Walton made another substitution adjustment. All the Lakers' main players came on the field, and the Lakers put out their strongest lineup.

Brunson, Su Tian, ​​George, Kuzma, thick eyebrows.

Because of Kuzma's growth, the Lakers' decisive lineup also made changes, placing Kuzma in the team's decisive lineup.

The effect of this adjustment is immediate, not only giving the Lakers an extra three-point point, but also making the Lakers' inside line more mobile.

Upon seeing this, the Clippers also made substitution adjustments, but even after the substitution adjustments, the overall strength of the Clippers team was not significantly improved.

At the end of the game, the Clippers still couldn't find anything out of this game.

The Lakers also won the game 120-103, and their performance throughout was not much different from the previous season.

Su Tian scored 37 points, 13 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 steals. Compared with the previous season, Su Tian's competitive state has not diminished at all, and has even improved steadily.

After the game, Su Tian accepted the post-game interview as usual.

"Su, do you have anything to say about the Lakers' lineup for the new season?"

"Su, how do you evaluate the Clippers' performance in this game?"

"Su, what are the Lakers' goals for this season?"

"Su, do you think James has declined significantly this season?"

As soon as Su Tiancai arrived at the scene, he was immediately surrounded by questions from reporters.

The press officer at the scene also quickly maintained order and asked these reporters to ask questions one by one.

These questions were considered normal for Su Tian, ​​and Su Tian responded normally.

"I'm very satisfied with the Lakers' lineup this season, and I'm very satisfied with the decisions made by the management."
