NBA’s aging star system

As if to refute those reporters, on April 4, the Lakers once again played with their full lineup, playing against the Bucks at Staples at home.

The Bucks' lineup for this game has been slightly changed.

DiVincenzo, Jrue Holiday, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Lopez.

In order to cope with the letter, the Lakers' starting lineup also made some fine-tuning and came up with the previous starting lineup.

Brunson, Su Tian, ​​George, Thick Eyebrow, McGee.

Before the game started, Antetokounmpo deliberately came to the Lakers' bench and found Su Tian.

"Su, I told you, I will definitely beat you this time!"

Su Tian smiled and said: "Don't always talk big, see you on the playing field."

Soon the game started, and McGee took the lead in grabbing the right to attack. Brunson got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Brunson originally wanted to hit one directly with the ball, but Su Tian took the initiative to reach out for the ball, so Brunson had to pass the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Holiday's defense.

Holiday's defensive strength is still good on the back line. At this time, he was not timid at all when facing Su Tian, ​​and took the initiative to step forward to defend and press through physical confrontation.

When Su Tian saw Holiday being so active, he immediately became vigilant. First he turned around to protect the ball, and then he stepped back to widen the distance between him and Holiday.

After the distance between the two was established, Su Tian once again broke through from the right side, easily completing the breakthrough with one long stride.

Holiday quickly turned around to pursue, but halfway through the pursuit, Holiday knew he couldn't catch up.

But the Bucks were well prepared. Lopez in the paint had already occupied a suitable position, guarding the basket to prevent Su Tian from hitting the basket.

Su Tian did not challenge Lopez. Although there was a high probability of success, Su Tian clearly had a more efficient way.

Su Tian immediately stopped and took a jump shot.

Swah——

Basketball hits steadily.

With Su Tian's shooting speed, Lopez had no time to step forward and interfere.

2-0

In fact, as long as the Lakers get the first offensive right in the opening game, the Lakers rarely lose the first offensive round.

The ball was transferred and it was the Bucks' turn to attack.

DiVincenzo came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo got the ball and faced the thick eyebrow defense. After a simple change of direction, he directly took the ball and went to the basket.

The breakthrough of letters has always been this simple and unpretentious, with very few changes, all relying on the body's breakthrough method.

The letter kept approaching the basket against the defense of the thick eyebrows, and the thick eyebrows always provided strong physical confrontation.

The two came to the basket while fighting against each other. Antetokounmpo took two big steps and then shot for a layup.

boom--

Swah——

The basketball collided back and forth on the rim and eventually fell into the net.

2-2

Zixie hit the target with thick eyebrows, which instantly gave Zixie a lot of confidence. When Zixie returned to defense, he kept patting his chest to signal.

The ball returned to the Lakers again. This time, after Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball, Su Tian did not reach out for the ball again, so Brunson directly held the ball and started the game.

Brunson first reached out and called on his players to come forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and then directly initiated a breakthrough with the help of the pick-and-roll.

Brunson's speed is still relatively fast. When DiVincenzo bypassed the pick and roll, he could no longer catch up with Brunson.

So Brunson came all the way to the basket, and just when he was about to take a layup, Antetokounmpo's big hand suddenly appeared, trying to block Brunson's layup.

But Brunson quickly changed and turned the layup into a pass, directly to George outside the three-point line.

George caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

When George is open, his shooting percentage is no joke.

In the next few rounds, Alphabet has maintained a strong performance. On the contrary, the Lakers have been relatively stable, and most of them ended with tactical cooperation.

The Big Three are playing fewer and fewer singles.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Bucks by 31 points 29-2.

"Kenny, I don't know if you noticed that these main players of the Lakers didn't show any signs of fatigue." Barkley said.

"This should be normal. After all, the Lakers take turns taking breaks and maintain their physical strength well." Kenny Smith said.

"No, look at Giannis' state. There is a big gap between him and the Lakers. He is already breathing heavily."

"Indeed, why is this?"

"In the first quarter, Giannis played too many singles with the ball, which naturally consumed a lot of physical energy. On the other hand, the Lakers have been cooperating with the whole team to play tactics in the first quarter, and the main players did not consume much physical energy." Barkley said He said sharply.

At this time, on the bench of the Bucks, Antetokounmpo also felt that the physical exertion was too much, which was very detrimental to subsequent games.

Soon the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began.

The Lakers made personnel adjustments as usual, and Su Tian and Nong Mei came off the court to rest.

As for the Bucks, although Antetokounmpo didn't want to take a rest, he did consume too much energy and had to rest.

So only Middleton was left to lead the Bucks.

Although Middleton has grown a lot recently and is strong enough to be an All-Star, he is still a little behind George.

Halfway through the second quarter, Su Tian came on the court again, and by this time the point difference had been widened to 7 points.

When Antetokounmpo saw Su Tian come on the court, he immediately got up and followed him on the court.

After Su Tian and Nongmei came on the stage again, they began to cooperate frequently again. The connection between the two was dazzling, and their cooperation was extremely tacit.

The Bucks still rely on Antetokounmpo alone to support them, but the effect is not as good as the Lakers' side.

At the end of the second quarter, the point difference was stretched to 11 points, and the point difference reached double digits.

"With a double-digit point difference, and we are facing the Lakers with the entire main lineup, even the Bucks, I am very worried now." Barkley said.

"No, the Bucks are still very strong. Although the point difference has been widened by 11 points, I think the Bucks still have a chance." Kenny Smith said.

At this time, the two teams' locker rooms were also discussing the tactical arrangements for the second half.

"There is no doubt that the core of the Bucks in the second half is still Giannis. Our defensive strategy will be consistent with the first half. Just pay attention to the three-pointers and don't let their three-pointers go away." Walton arranged the tactics It was much calmer than before.

At the same time, the Bucks directly set their sights on Su Tian and Nongmei.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, both sides chose the starting lineup with a tacit understanding, and the first ball possession of the third quarter was given to the Bucks.

Antetokounmpo came to the frontcourt with the ball and once again faced the thick eyebrow defense. This time he chose to call for pick-and-roll cooperation and use the pick-and-roll to break through.

But when Antetokounmpo broke through to the basket, the momentum of the double ghosts of Thick Eyebrow and McGee was also formed.
