NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 143
After losing to the Bucks, the Cavaliers continued their road trip to the Motor City to challenge the Pistons.

There is nothing to pay attention to the Pistons this season. It is even said that the Pistons have not been good in the past two years.

Except that a little fan of James, Stewart, came out from behind.

For the Pistons at this stage, the head star is Zhuang Shen, Andre Drummond.

As soon as the game started, James showed a strong desire to score.

Su Tian was also happy to see it succeed, after all, Su Tian really wasn't aggressive enough in the first three quarters.

James' continuous breakthroughs forced the Pistons to shrink their defense and double-team James.

But in this way, opportunities began to appear from outside. In the first quarter, Su Tian hit two three-pointers, and JR also hit one.

Love hit two plus two points.

James scored two assists and opened up the point difference in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Pistons by 33 points 25-8.

In the second quarter, James handed over the ball to Su Tian, ​​and Su Tian continued to cooperate with Love in pick-and-roll.

The Pistons' defense has obviously improved a lot after Van Gundy's training, but Su Tian still has a way to deal with it.

Because the Pistons' defense relies more on overall and tactical bonuses, the individual defense on the outside is not strong.

Su Tian's direct shot after the pick-and-roll hit the Pistons outside.

But when the inside line is defending against Su Tian, ​​Su Tian will break through the European step for a layup or pass the ball to the teammate who cuts.

Even if James didn't make an effort, the Pistons couldn't keep up with the cooperation of Su Tian and Love alone.

The only inside line that can be regarded as a weakness, Drummond also failed to play a very explosive performance under the turns of Mozgov and Thompson.

At the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers had led the Pistons by 60 points 48-12.

During the intermission, Tyronn Lue did not make any special arrangements at all, but emphasized the protection of rebounds towards Thompson and Mozgov.

Drummond rebounded very well. The Cavaliers lost a few offensive rebounds in the first half, but it didn't hurt.

Soon after halftime, the third quarter began.

Su Tian rested off the court as usual, and James led the team on the court.

Although it is said that James is equipped with substitutes and role players.

But with James, there is a basic guarantee.

Sure enough, the Pistons tried their best to chase points in the third quarter, but James stabilized the situation.

When the Pistons saw the Cavaliers lineup, they knew that this was the Pistons' last chance.

At the beginning of this season, the Cavaliers, as a championship team, have been studied by the entire league.

In the fourth quarter, the status of the Cavaliers was noticed by all the head coaches who intend to compete for the championship.

Especially Su Tian.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, James was not on the court, logically speaking, it was a good opportunity to chase points.

But several teams have frequently overturned during this period.

The reason is Su Tian.

Su Tian, ​​who was fully fired in the fourth quarter, added an intractable point to all teams that want to win the championship.

The Pistons don't have any particularly good options either.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Su Tian held the ball toughly for singles, and the Pistons couldn't hold the outside line at all.

Conversely, when the Pistons attack, they will be locked up by Su Tian.

Since the battle with Wade, everyone has seen Su Tian's defense and recognized it very much.

The Pistons didn't have any particularly powerful players on the perimeter, so they couldn't break through Su Tian's defense.

Coupled with the fact that the Cavaliers already have a 10-point lead, James is not in a hurry to play.

This season, there have been several times when James has not exerted his strength in the fourth quarter, and the opponent has given up.

This match looks pretty much the same.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Tyronn Lue put James up.

But before James played two rounds with the ball, Van Gundy called a timeout.

James was helpless, and the data dropped.

But you have to ask James if he is willing, of course James is willing. Scoring can be done at any time, but there are not many chances of winning the championship.

Now the team's atmosphere is just right, and the chemistry is in place. James is very smart, and there is no need to destroy it for the sake of data.

After all, no matter how good Su Tian is, the outside world will not regard Su Tian as the leader of the team.

This is not the same as when the Heat faced Wade back then.

Facing Su Tian, ​​James still has this confidence.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Pistons 105-93 and returned home with victory.

Next, the Cavaliers will have three consecutive home games against the Bucks, Eagles and Magic.

The Cavaliers' first defeat of the new season was sent by the Bucks. This time back at home, the entire Cavaliers team is desperate for revenge.

On November 11th, the Bucks came to Quicken Loans Arena.

The lineup for the Bucks, McAway, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker, Greg Monroe.

Jason Kidd is sitting on the coaching bench of the Bucks now.

With the help of Kidd, Antetokounmpo is now showing his talents.

Soon, the game begins.

Mozgov touched the ball first and passed it to Su Tian.

Su Tian held the ball forward and gave it directly to James.

James holds the ball against Antetokounmpo.

Facing the young Antetokounmpo, the peak James is relatively calm.

After calling Love for the pick-and-roll, James used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside.

Antetokounmpo is not slow, and has been following James closely.

James resisted Antetokounmpo's defense and scored a layup.

Cavaliers start 2-0
Antetokounmpo is still quite talented, but still needs upgrading.

The ball is switched, and it's the Bucks' turn to attack.

McAway came to the frontcourt with the ball and faced Su Tian's defense.

Su Tian also took a deep breath in this match. Although the previous match was also restricted by McAway, he still lost in the end.

This time Su Tian is determined to lock up McAway.

McAway did not choose to go one-on-one with Su Tian, ​​but called Jabari Parker for a pick-and-roll.

Jabari Parker, as the biggest contender for Sutian Eastern Rookie of the Month last season, has preserved his strength well.

But Su Tian was also very good at pick-and-rolls, and he caught up with McAway in time.

McAway couldn't do anything when he saw things, and passed the ball to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo held the ball and wanted to break through forcibly, but was held up by James and couldn't enter the inside.

Seeing this, Middleton had to rush over to respond, and shot directly after getting the ball.

jr caught up and reached out to interfere with the shot.

boom--

Middleton shot too hastily and missed the shot.

Mozgov took the rebound and passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and started to rush forward.

Although James started later than Su Tian, ​​James caught up with Su Tian's speed in two steps.

McAway rushed to chase Su Tian, ​​and Su Tian took advantage of the situation to pass the ball to James.

James received the ball and dribbled for two steps, then directly received the ball and took three steps, and succeeded in smashing and dunking vigorously.

4-0
The Bucks are completely helpless.

In the next few rounds, James began to control the ball and frequently led the Cavaliers to improve their rhythm.

McAway on the Bucks side is not a competent organizer and failed to regain the rhythm.

And the Cavaliers' shooting has become normal, not as outrageous as it was against the Bucks in the last game.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Bucks by 28 points 23-5.

Antetokounmpo's efficiency is indeed not low. Although James is defending, the Cavaliers have always been a weakness inside.

Once Antetokounmpo rushed up, James could only establish the first line of defense, and no one inside helped him.

In the second quarter, the two sides began to change players.

Xiao Mo was unable to play because of physical discomfort, and Dellavedova was replaced in advance.

The Bucks also replaced OJ Mayo.

Speaking of it, OJ Mayo is also a basketball genius, but he still couldn't adapt to the intensity of the NBA game and couldn't fully play it.

But that's a lot better than Wiseman, too.

In the second quarter, according to the usual practice, Su Tian took over the team's offensive banner and cooperated with Love in a two-person transfer.

OJ Mayo was arranged to face off against Su Tian, ​​and he was a little dazed when he was beaten by Su Tian.

On the offensive end, the Bucks originally expected Mayo to serve as the team's sixth man.

But under Su Tian's defensive care, the entire Bucks' offense was blocked here.

Mayo has scoring ability, although not strong.

But Mayo really doesn't have the ability to organize and connect teams.

In this way, the Bucks in the second quarter were once again suppressed by the Cavaliers in all directions.

At the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers had led the Bucks by 63 points 48-15.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers beat the Bucks by 10 points in a single quarter.

At halftime, Kidd's tactical board was almost smoking.

After returning from the half-time break, Su Tian rested off the court, and James led the substitute lineup to fight on the court.

But James is also under little pressure, leading by 15 points, why panic?
So with the efforts of James, the Bucks caught up to 10 points in the third quarter.

It can't be said that it's because of James, after all, it's just 5 points, two or three fairy balls.

In the fourth quarter, Su Tian started to play, and James came down to rest for a few minutes.

As soon as Su Tian got the ball on the field, McAway's side felt like a formidable enemy.

Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball and called Love to start the pick-and-roll.

But I don't know if the Bucks were overly nervous, and both McAway and Jabari Parker rushed towards Su Tian.

Su Tian took the opportunity to rush to the inside line, attracting two people to double-team.

One person passed the ball in between, and accurately gave the ball to Love at the top of the arc.

Love received the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

There was a crisp net-swiping sound.

13 points difference.

The ball is switched, and it's the Bucks' turn to attack.

McAway came to the frontcourt with the ball and cooperated with Jabari Parker in a pick-and-roll.

But Su Tian and Love are not McAway and Parker.

Su Tian and Love cooperated tacitly, quickly bypassing the pick-and-roll and finding their defender.

McAway can only use the gap that appears momentarily in the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside.

But was easily caught up by Su Tian. Su Tian followed McAway while trying to steal the ball with his hands.

McAway didn't dare to dribble too much, so he directly collected the ball and rushed towards the basket in three steps.

McAway's breakthrough was pretty good, but the injury caused all aspects to decline.

McAway came to the basket and forced a layup, but was interfered by Su Tian and missed.

Su Tian turned around and got the rebound, and rushed directly to the opponent's basket.

McAway was two steps behind Su Tian and followed behind Su Tian.

But in the fourth quarter, Su Tian not only became faster, but also had more physical strength.

Little by little, the McAway was thrown farther and farther.

After coming to the frontcourt, Su Tian took off directly and dunked with both hands.

Started the fourth quarter with a 5-0
The point difference came to 15 points, and Kidd shouted anxiously from the sidelines.

But the gap in strength is not so easy to solve.

The Bucks attack again, this time to Jabari Parker in the low post.

Parker caught the ball and began to hit Love with his back, and finally turned around with difficulty and made a layup.

Kidd could finally drink a glass of water and catch his breath.

The ball is switched, and it's the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Su Tian still plays pick and roll with the ball.

This time, Su Tian just took two steps towards the inside line, when the inside line double-teamed.

What's the matter, look down on my pass?

Su Tian passed the ball without looking at anyone, and gave it to Richard Jefferson who took the opportunity to make an air cut.

Jefferson received the ball and made an easy layup.

Su Tian grabbed the offense and assists, and he has the demeanor of holding the ball.

Sometimes, even James felt that Su Tian in the fourth quarter was too dangerous and too strong.

But after watching the second game, he became an ordinary good player again.

James can only attribute this to slow heat.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers still led the Bucks by 18 points.

Tyronn Lue replaced James and was ready to reap the game.

James took over the ball as soon as he came up, and played several consecutive rounds with the ball.

2 minutes before the end of the final game, Kidd called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and surrendered.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers beat the Bucks 115-100 by 15 points.

This is because the Cavaliers' bench was too weak in the last 2 minutes, and the Bucks recovered 5 points.

After successfully avenging the Bucks, the Cavaliers have a record of 11 wins and 1 loss, temporarily ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

But not the first in the league.

Because the number one in the league is the Golden State Warriors.

Since the start of the game, the Golden State Warriors have won all 12 games and have not lost a game.

No one knows when the Warriors will lose.

Even everyone has worked hard to imagine the Warriors' record, but no one can guess the ending.

Only Su Tian knows how fierce the Warriors are this season.

If the Warriors can stay healthy in the playoffs, then this season's championship is really hard to say.

Last year, the Warriors fell to the sand on the Cavaliers. This year, the Warriors are working hard.

Even Draymond Green circled the schedule.

December 12, Christmas Day, will be the first meeting between the Cavaliers and Warriors.

After the Cavaliers defeated the Bucks, they defeated the Eagles and Magic again.

The Cavaliers are happy to mention 4 consecutive victories.

Neither of these two games had too many twists and turns.

Although the Eagles have a neat lineup, they have limited talent and have reached the peak of the civilian lineup.

There are indeed many talented players on the Magic side, but they are all too young to make any waves.

After the battle with the Magic, the Cavaliers rested in Cleveland for one night, and took a plane to Toronto early the next morning.

The next game will be against the Toronto Raptors.

Although the Toronto Raptors have been criticized in the playoffs, they are still quite fierce in the regular season.

Especially when they are at home, they even have always had the reputation of home dragon and away game bug.

Hmm, that doesn't seem like a good name either.

This season, the Raptors signed Carroll to supplement the front line, as well as Diamond Scola and Biyombo on the inside.

Coupled with the combination of Lowry and DeRozan in the backcourt, it is still very competitive in the East.

　Congratulations to Warriors fans, Wiseman finally gets traded
