NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 147 All-Star Voting Open

After returning from the timeout, Dragic began to control the ball and cooperate tactically with his teammates.

And Wade led Su Tian to start running without the ball.

Since Su Tian experienced Clay and Curry's off the ball in the finals, in the regular season, there are very few off the ball that he can't keep up with.

So Su Tian was not afraid that Wade would run without the ball, and even secretly pleased, because this would waste Wade's energy instead.

The Heat's offense ended up with Dragic making a mid-range shot, which was interfered by Dellavedova and failed to hit.

After getting the rebound, Mozgov gave the ball to Su Tian, ​​who got the ball and turned around and began to sprint.

But this time the fast break failed, and Su Tian was blocked by Wade and Dragic.

After being blocked, Su Tian was not in a hurry to attack, and slowly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Su Tian continued to play pick and roll with the ball.

This time, both Bosh and Wade came to pinch Su Tian. Seeing the situation, Su Tian became stronger, and he passed the ball accurately to find Love who was going down smoothly.

Love received the ball and shot directly.

Swah——

Love made a steady two-pointer.

86-80
The Cavaliers lead by 6 points.

From being behind to leading, it didn't take a few minutes at all. It can only be said that Su Tian in the fourth quarter was too difficult to limit.

And different from other stars, Su Tian is not afraid of the opponent's double-teaming at all, and even said that the more double-teaming Su Tian is, the more calm he plays.

Because compared to personal offensive attributes, Su Tian's single attribute value is highest in passing.

The higher the attribute value, the higher the bonus received, so double-teaming is simply an assist for Su Tian.

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

Dragic continued to attack with the ball, while Wade ran without the ball to pull Su Tian to the other side.

Su Tian's defensive ability is obvious to all, so we can only try to pull Su Tian away.

Dragic started calling Love again, trying to repeat the previous tactic.

But this time Dellavedova and Love communicated well defensively, and they all went around the pick-and-roll from behind.

Dragic found after the pick-and-roll that there was still no chance of a breakthrough.

Had to let Bosh go to the position, and then give the ball to Bosh.

After Bosh received the ball, he began to try to single Love.

But Love knew that his pace was slower, and he always kept half a step away from Bosh. It was difficult for Bosh to break through directly.

Seeing that the time was up, Bosh dribbled a bit and shot directly.

Although Love is slow, his defense is still in place.

boom--

Bosh missed a shot and Mozgov took the basketball.

Su Tian took the basketball and started to push forward.

The next two teams have been deadlocked with this point difference until the last 3 minutes.

At this point the score came to 95-90, with the Cavaliers leading the Heat by 5 points.

Although there is still a chance, Wade has already begun to breathe heavily.

Dragic was not much better, he was bitten frantically by Dellavedova for the whole game, and he had to peel off his skin if he didn't die.

At this time, the Cavaliers owned the ball, and Su Tian dribbled the ball to observe from outside the three-point line.

There are still 3 minutes before the game will be accepted, Su Tian is not in a hurry, the more stable the better for the Cavaliers.

Su Tian still started to call the pick-and-roll, this time it was Mozgov's pick-and-roll, and Su Tian used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside.

Although Mozgov doesn't have the range like Love, Mozgov's pick-and-roll is more stable.

Su Tian broke through to the basket, and Bosh came to help defend.

Su Tian took the opportunity to pass the ball to Love, and Love received the ball and easily made a close-range shot.

97-90
The Heat's chances are even slimmer.

Bosh made a quick serve and passed it to Wade.

Wade rushed forward with the ball, trying to catch the Cavaliers by surprise.

But Su Tian returned to the defense faster, entangled Wade just when he passed the midfield with the ball.

Wade had no choice but to hold the ball to prevent it from being intercepted.

In this game, Wade has already been intercepted by Su Tian twice, and he dare not let Su Tian steal again.

After his teammates were all in position, Wade began to call Bosh for the pick-and-roll.

Su Tian was afraid that Wade would take a cold shot and shoot a three-pointer, so he went around the pick-and-roll in front of Bosh, but this gave Wade a chance to break through.

Wade saw the timing, broke out suddenly, and rushed to the inside.

Su Tian followed closely behind Wade, maintaining a disturbing position.

Seeing that the team was about to lose, Wade didn't think too much about it. He felt ruthless and forced a layup against Su Tian's defense.

Su Tian was well aware of Wade's little tricks for layups, so he didn't think about blocking shots, but always kept the interference position.

boom--

Su Tian interfered well, and Wade missed a layup.

Su Tian turned around and took the rebound.

Su Tian, ​​who got the rebound, turned around and started explosively, heading straight to the frontcourt.

At this time, Wade, who had exhausted too much energy, could not catch up with Su Tian at all, and Dragic originally wanted to stop Su Tian, ​​but was left behind by Su Tian in two steps.

Su Tian rode Juechen and made an easy layup.

99-90
The Cavaliers lead by 9 points.

Sipo was very anxious, but there was no good way. Su Tian in the last quarter actually made him feel James' aura.

It's not James' playing momentum, but the unsolvable and unrestricted momentum.

Wade had it before, but now that the peak is not here, this feeling has long since disappeared.

The possession of the ball was converted, and Dragic advanced with the ball.

Wade's gasps are getting louder, and Dragic has to take part of the offense.

Originally, Dragic was happy to take on this responsibility, but who knew that the old sixth on the opposite side was so good at defending.

Su Tian smiled and looked at Dellavedova.

Different from his previous life, although Dellavedova made a name for himself, it was obviously not as loud as in his previous life. He didn't have much time and opportunities to perform in the finals of last season.

So this has caused Dellavedova to work harder this season, wanting to perform better and get a bigger contract.

As a quasi-All-Star player, Dragic was so restricted by Dellavedova, and he still suffered some physical losses.

Dragic began to call for a pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, Dragic wanted to break through, but was blocked by Dellavedova. Dragic changed the breakthrough into a pass and gave it to Bosh, who was going down.

Bosh got the ball and dribbled for two steps, and shot directly.

boom--

Bosh's shot was interfered with and missed.

With the passage of time, Bosh's physical strength is also constantly declining, and the speed gap between him and Love is gradually narrowing.

Mozgov took the rebound and found Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and slowly took it to the frontcourt.

At this time, there is about 1 minute left, and the Heat's chances are getting slimmer, unless there is a miracle.

In the end, it turned out that the miracle did not happen, and the Cavaliers beat the Heat 101-93.

In the absence of James, the battle led by Su Tian finally came to an end.

而本场比赛，苏天全场拿到37分12助攻5篮板3抢断，乐福拿到21分11篮板3助攻。

Wade was followed by Su Tian and only scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 33.3%.

Whether it's the statistics after the game or the performance on the field, it can be seen that Wade was blown away by Su Tian.

This can't help sparking another wave of discussion, what level of star does Su Tian belong to?

Careful fans and data analysts have already conducted research on Su Tian.

After research, it was found that Su Tian is a complete key player. Every time the final quarter comes, Su Tian's state will become better and his desire to score will become stronger.

Some people even said that Su Tian in the fourth quarter was a player at the same level as James.

Although this conclusion is a bit difficult for the local Americans to accept, it does not prevent Su Tian's nickname of "King of the Ends" from spreading.

After the game against the Heat, the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland.

And James also specially invited Su Tian to be a guest at home. It seems that James also paid attention to the last game.

While the outside public opinion has been fermenting, Su Tian is constantly increasing training for himself.

Although the Kobe card provided little bonus to Su Tian, ​​it had to be said that the effect was obvious, and it would allow Su Tian to draw the next card faster.

While the outside world was discussing Su Tian, ​​the Cavaliers also ushered in a home game.

The Cavaliers played against the Trail Blazers at home.

In the last game, James took a rest, and this time James will play normally, but Su Tian fought too hard in the last game, so Tyronn Lue gave Su Tian a rest this time.

After all, the Blazers are indeed not a strong opponent. The head star Aldridge has just left, and Lillard has not yet fully gained a foothold.

In this game without Su Tian, ​​Tyronn Lue's lineup is Dellavedova, JR Smith, James, Love, and Mozgov.

最终这场比赛詹姆斯以全场33分10篮板3助攻2抢断3盖帽的成绩，轻松拿下开拓者。

Lillard on the Trail Blazers side is not bad, scoring 33 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds. Although Dellavedova also interfered with 4 turnovers, the flaws are not concealed.

Lillard is still considered a good star.

After the end of the game with the Trail Blazers, the Cavaliers continued to start the away game and went to Orlando to play against the Magic.

This time, Su Tian will also play together.

The Magic can't pose much threat to the Cavaliers at this stage, and only one Vucevic in the team can be regarded as able to play.

And the result of this game was not as expected, the Cavaliers easily won the game 111-76.

Only two of the Magic scored in double figures, which was severely restricted by the Cavaliers.

For the Cavaliers, James, Su Tian, ​​and Love all performed well.

Even the name of the Big Three of the Cavaliers has been called out again.

After the end of the game with the Magic, came an important time node.

All-Star voting has begun.

The All-Star Game was arranged in Toronto, which is the first time that the All-Star Game has been held in a city outside the United States.

And Su Tian's name was also handed up by the Cavaliers. Su Tian is going to solicit votes for his All-Star trip this time.

After the game against the Magic, the Cavaliers continued their journey to Boston to challenge the Celtics.

At this time, the Green Army, although Thomas Jr. has gradually secured the core position of the team's main force, but the Green Army's lineup is still not neat enough, or in other words, there is still a certain gap compared with the Cavaliers.

Tylen Lue also specially arranged for Dellavedova to start this time to deal with Thomas Jr.

Of course, Su Tian can also deal with it, but Su Tian still has to bear part of the offensive responsibilities, and it's not worth wasting too much energy on defense.

Therefore, under the joint attack of James and Su Tian, ​​the Green Army failed to last until the last moment, and they lasted a few minutes longer than the Magic. In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Green Army 95-77.

After the end of the road trip, the Cavaliers will usher in a wave of three consecutive home games.

They played against the Thunder, 75 people and Knicks respectively.

Most notably, the Thunder.

The 75ers and the Knicks are both bad teams at this stage, and there is nothing to worry about, but the Thunder is different. The Thunder is a serious championship team.

Although the Thunder have been unable to make it to the finals in the past two years, they are still in the championship ranks.

On December 12, the Thunder struck at Quicken Loans Arena.

The Thunder's lineup is Westbrook, Andre Robertson, Durant, Ibaka, Adams.

The Cavaliers' lineup is Dellavedova, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, and Mozgov.

Tyronn Lue still did not match up Su Tian and Westbrook, but let Su Tian play the role of assisting defense, and pay attention to assisting the two kings of the Thunder at all times.

Dellavedova's biting defense is exactly the type Westbrook doesn't want to deal with.

Soon the game started, and Mozgov grabbed the initiative.

Dellavedova came to the frontcourt with the ball and gave the ball to James.

James is ready to play a test water at the beginning.

James first called Love for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside. Both Durant and Ibaka rushed towards James. I don't know if it was a prepared double-team tactic or a lack of defensive communication.

In short, seeing two people coming towards him, James passed the ball directly to Love who was emptied.

Love took two steps forward after receiving the ball, and then made a long two-point shot.

But Ibaka reacted quickly enough and interfered in time.

boom--

Love's shot was interfered with and missed.

Adams and Mozgov were crazily stuck at the basket, but after all, the forward was better. Adams stuck out of position and Westbrook grabbed the rebound.

Westbrook, who got the rebound, turned around and began to sprint and accelerate, rushing to the frontcourt.

The rushing Westbrook looked like a smaller James, heading straight to the basket. Dellavedova could only follow behind and couldn't overtake at all.

I saw Westbrook catch the ball and take off directly, and with a bang, he dunked successfully.

0-2
The Thunder got off to a head start.

Dellavedova had no choice but to serve in the frontcourt and give it to Su Tian.

Su Tian held the ball and pushed forward. After reaching the front court, Su Tian called for a pick-and-roll, but this time it was not Love, but Mozgov.

Ibaka's ability to assist in defense has just been seen at a glance, Su Tian will not go head-to-head in the first three quarters.

The All-Star voting is just around the corner, and Su Tian still has to pretend to be a big boss to attract votes, so he can't expose his weaknesses so quickly.

Compared to Ibaka, Adams is indeed slower.

Su Tian used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside, Robertson was blocked, and Adams failed to catch up.

Su Tian made an easy layup.

2-2
James was very happy and gave a thumbs up.

The possession of the ball was changed, and it was the Thunder's turn to attack.

Westbrook came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Dellavedova's biting defense, it was a bit difficult to deal with, and he decisively gave the ball to Durant.

Durant has developed ball-handling skills over the years, holding the ball against James.

When Durant raised his eyes, the subcontractor's demeanor could be seen at a glance.However, James is not so easy.
