NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 154 The Combination of Double Virtues
Ginobili faced JR Smith with the ball, and JR reported the mentality of taking a fall and gaining wisdom, always paying attention to whether someone will come to pick and roll.

But Ginobili didn't call a pick-and-roll this time, but took advantage of JR Smith's inattention, and broke out directly from JR's side to make a breakthrough.

Jr Smith didn't have time to complain about Ginobili's lack of martial arts, so he turned around and chased after him.

Ginobili went straight to the basket, trying to European step layup shot.

But Mozgov at the basket had already been waiting for a long time. During the usual team training, he was often deceived by Su Tian's European step, and he had already been deceived out of experience.

But Ginobili also reached the point where he had no choice but to make a move, so he had to rely on Mozgov to force his shot.

boom--

The basketball strikes the iron crisply.

Mozgov turned around and got the rebound, and passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and turned around to start a fast break.

James also wanted to follow along, but was blocked by Leonard in time.

So Su Tian went straight to the opponent's basket alone, and only Parker could barely keep up with Su Tian's speed.

After Su Tian came to the basket, he went straight to the European step and made a layup.

Parker also wants to interfere, but there is not only a gap in height, but also a gap in wingspan and jumping.

Su Tian made an easy layup.

29-22
Seeing that the Cavaliers' fast break was easily completed, Popovich couldn't help cursing from the sidelines.

But even though Popovich scolded badly, he still didn't call a timeout.

Parker came to the frontcourt with the ball again, this time Parker did not give the ball to others, but called his teammates to prepare for a tactic.

In the end, after continuous tactical moves, Ginobili came up with an air cut opportunity, received a pass from Leonard and scored a layup.

29-24
Popovich saw the Spurs score and returned to his seat.I thought it would be quiet for a while.

Turning around, it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball, and with the help of Love's pick-and-roll, he made a direct three-pointer.

Parker's height, wingspan and jumping can't form any effective interference.

Swah——

Su Tian made a direct three-pointer.

32-24
The point difference came to 8 points, Popovich raised his hand and called a timeout.

This pause is obviously to turn on the hair dryer to piss people off.

Tyronn Lue also took this opportunity to start some fine-tuned substitutions.

Tyronn Lue took jr and replaced Dellavedova.

Tyronn Lu found that Dellavedova was more suitable to partner with Su Tian.

Because Dellavedova's defense is better, he can share part of the defensive pressure for Su Tian, ​​and on the offensive end, he will not compete for Su Tian's possession of the ball. With Su Tian leading, Dellavedova's positional shooting is also enough .

Soon, the timeout ends and the game continues.

After returning to the court again, Su Tian found that the Spurs had also made a substitution, taking Parker and replacing him with Mills.

Perhaps because of Parker's age and physical strength, Su Tian didn't think too much about it, but turned his attention to Ginobili.

Su Tian still remembered that he had played against Ginobili several times last year, when he was still relatively immature.

Now, it's time for "revenge".

Mills advanced the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Leonard.

Leonard got the ball and started calling his teammates for pick-and-rolls.

Leonard used the pick-and-roll to break through two steps inside, and then directly shot a jumper.

boom--

Leonard's shot was seriously interfered by James, and Love got the rebound.

The moment Love took the rebound, James and Su Tian broke out and rushed forward.

Love made a pass and accurately found Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball, before he dribbled twice, Ginobili got tangled up.

Su Tian is naturally not afraid of entanglement, but obviously there are better choices.

Su Tian made a quick pass, and before Ginobili could react, he passed the ball to James.

At this time, James was already two steps ahead of Leonard, got the ball and jumped straight away, making a layup.

34-24
After a timeout, not only did the point difference not narrow, but it even widened to double digits.

Popovich couldn't help but want to curse again, wishing he could grab Leonard and ask, did you do it on purpose or by accident?

In the next few rounds, the Spurs have been in a stalemate with the Cavaliers, and neither side has been able to change the point difference.

At the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers still lead the Spurs by 55 points 45-10.

During the intermission, Tyronn Lue arranged the tactics of Irving and James again, and Su Tian was put on the bench to rest.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

The lineup sent by the Cavaliers is Irving, jr Smith, James, Thompson, and Mozgov.

The Spurs also have a semi-main lineup, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Diaw, Aldridge.

In the first round, the ball was given to the Spurs.

Parker came to the front court with the ball. Without Su Tian's interference, Parker was obviously much calmer.

It's not that Owen is not active in defense, but that there is indeed a gap between Su Tian's defense.

Parker called Aldridge for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside.

Owen failed to get around in time, and Mozgov on the inside had to keep up with Parker.

Parker leads Mozgov to the hoop and a return pass to Aldridge at the top of the key.

Aldridge got the ball and turned his back directly. After hitting Owen twice in a row, he turned over and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Owen's interference was quite limited for Aldridge, and Aldridge made an easy hit.

55-47
The possession of the ball was switched, and Irving advanced with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Irving began to call Thompson, trying to pick and roll Parker.

Irving used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside, but Parker, short in stature, got out in time and entangled Irving again.

Irving had no choice but to retreat with the ball, protect the ball, and then use continuous dribbles to shake Parker's defensive center of gravity and make another breakthrough.

Owen galloped all the way to the basket, a pull-up layup confuses Aldridge's defense, and successfully scored a layup.

57-47
Although Owen responded successfully, it consumed a lot of energy.

The ball was switched again, Parker came to the frontcourt with the ball, and gave the ball directly to Aldridge in the low post.

Aldridge held the ball and faced Mozgov with his back. After shaking from side to side, he turned over and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Aldridge's low post is still very smooth.

57-49
Seeing Aldridge hit consecutively, Popovich didn't say anything more.

Irving attacked with the ball again, but this time Irving's emergency stop jumper was predicted, and the shot hit the iron.

Aldridge grabs the rebound and throws a long pass to Parker on the fast break.

Parker rode to the frontcourt and made a layup.

Although the sports car is old, it can still run.

57-51
In the next few rounds, the two sides continued to go back and forth. There is no need to question Irving's offensive ability, and he is still online.

But Irving failed to give Parker too many restrictions on the defensive end.

Moreover, Irving may want to express himself too much, resulting in little cooperation with his teammates.

Fortunately, in the last few rounds, James forced the ball to connect the team.

When playing with Su Tian, ​​James didn't have to think about organization and devoted himself to the offense, but playing with Irving, James had to always pay attention to the team's serial organization.

Owen's desire to attack is too strong.

Comparing this way, of course James prefers to play with Su Tian.

Soon, the third quarter ended, the score came to 80-77, and the Spurs were only 3 points behind.

For Spurs fans, the good news is that the point difference is only 3 points away, but the bad news is that the fourth quarter is coming, and that guy Su Tian is going to play.

Su Tian was also gearing up beside him, ready to play.

Soon, the fourth quarter began, and Tyronn Lue arranged the lineup.

Dellavedova, Su Tian, ​​Richard Jefferson, Love, Thompson.

The Spurs also have a regular rotation, Parker, Green, Kyle Anderson, David West, Duncan.

Back on the court, the first ball was given to the Cavaliers.

After Dellavedova came to the front court with the ball, he gave the ball directly to Su Tian.

If Dellavedova can dribble across half court, he has already completed his task.

Su Tian got the ball and started calling Love for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian broke through to the inside.

But Green was obviously prepared and switched defenses with David West in time. Su Tian couldn't find the opportunity to make a jump shot with an emergency stop.

So Su Tian had no choice but to attack the inside with the ball, trying to get rid of West's defense.

And Duncan, who was squatting inside, was also preparing for Su Tian's arrival.

Su Tian's side just entered the penalty area, and Duncan couldn't go directly to help defend, and was still squatting under the basket, while West's side also picked up speed.

So Su Tian took a step back directly, and made a direct shot after two points.

Taking a step back, he directly distanced himself from West. West was much heavier than Su Tian and had a greater inertia, so Su Tian easily got rid of it.

Swah——

Su Tianchang made a direct hit with two points.

82-77
Duncan was also very helpless. He was old and his legs were not so fast. If he threw the ball just now, he would not be able to come back in time.

Su Tian is giving Duncan multiple choice questions.

The ball is switched and it is the Spurs' turn to attack.

Parker advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and called Duncan for a pick-and-roll match.

Dellavedova can handle a downhill Parker alone, but with the addition of an old Duncan, it will be a little bit difficult.

Parker saw the right time and broke through to the inside with the ball.

Dellavedova turned to give chase, but was thrown two positions away.

At this time, there was still Thompson squatting under the Cavaliers basket. Parker turned around with a top, shook Thompson's help defense, and made a layup.

82-79
Parker maintained the point difference.

Seeing Parker score a goal, Su Tian was not in a hurry.

I am young and physically strong, and the Spurs won't last long.

The possession of the ball was changed, and this time Su Tian held the ball and came to the frontcourt to face Green's defense.

Su Tian started to call Love for the pick-and-roll, and with the help of the pick-and-roll, he changed direction and shot a three-pointer directly.

Green couldn't interfere enough and failed to make an effective defense.

Su Tian made a direct three-pointer.

85-79
Su Tian still learned this trick from Curry, and he didn't dare to use it in the first three quarters, and only used it after the fourth quarter.

The point difference came to 6 points, and Parker continued to play pick-and-roll with the ball.

But this time, Su Tian assisted in defending the interference in time, and Parker missed a layup.

Love took the rebound and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian rushed forward with the ball, wanting to play a fast break.

Green stepped forward to stop him in time, wanting to give Su Tian a confrontation.

But Su Tian changed direction in time, bypassed Green's position, and continued to charge forward.

Green, who stayed in place, was like a wooden stake, and was easily crossed by Su Tian.

Su Tian took the lead, came to the front court, directly shot a layup, and made an easy hit.

87-79
Seeing that the point difference was going to double digits, Popovich called a timeout.

Tyronn Lue also took this opportunity to make substitutions and adjustments, bringing both James and Irving on the court.

Soon, the timeout ends and the game continues.

When playing again, the Spurs also made substitutions, taking Aldridge and Leonard, and it seemed that a decisive battle was about to start.

Parker came to the front court with the ball, Parker didn't stay long, but passed the ball to Leonard.

Leonard did not intend to play singles when he got the ball, but passed the ball in after Aldridge was settled.

Aldridge got the ball and met Love's defense. The two can be regarded as meeting good talents and matching opponents.

Aldridge leaned back and hit with his back a little bit.

Le Fu pressed his body forward and held it hard, and the two continued to wrestle.

Suddenly, Aldridge turned around and swayed to Love's defense, then turned in the opposite direction, turned around and shot.

Swah——

Aldridge's turnaround jumper is still so silky, easy to hit.

87-81
The possession of the ball was changed, and Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Irving played too hard in the third quarter and hasn't recovered much physical strength yet, so he took the initiative to pass the ball to James.

James didn't think much about it, and felt that it was not time for him to exert his strength, so he passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian faced Green with the ball and called Love for a pick-and-roll again.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian broke through two steps, swayed Green's defense, and directly stopped and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Su Tian made the same shot, 89-81
The point difference returned to 8 points again.

Then the two teams continued to stalemate for two rounds, and neither of them could make another hit.

It wasn't until James started to take the initiative to hold the ball that the situation changed.

In fact, Su Tian could see very clearly that if James didn't take the ball, he would have no chance.

Because Owen is going to rest soon.

James held the ball against Leonard's defense and began to call Love for a pick-and-roll.

When James was playing with the ball, Su Tian was not idle, but led Green to keep moving, trying to get rid of Green's follow-up defense.

James used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside, and Leonard wound up in time.

While facing the defense, James observed the position on the field, and made a ground pass to Su Tian who was making an air cut.

Su Tian received the ball and went straight to the basket, with Green chasing after him.

After reaching the basket, Su Tian collected the ball and jumped up, ready to make a layup.

And Duncan, who was squatting aside, had already waited for a long time and directly blocked the shot.

But Su Tian seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He evaded the defense with a lever, and with a light toss, the basketball hit the net.

91-81
The point difference has completely reached double digits, and it is still at the critical moment of the final fourth quarter.

Popovich called a timeout again, playing against the Spurs, but he didn't know how many times the old man on the opposite side would call a timeout.

Soon the timeout ends and the game continues.

After returning to play the Spurs, it became Leonard holding the ball and playing with Aldridge, and in the end Leonard made a mid-range shot.

The double-virtuous combination began to exert its strength.

91-83
Popovich's timeout is still in effect.

But turning around, James made another breakthrough pass to assist Su Tian, ​​and Su Tian continued to hit a three-pointer.

94-83
Popovich was about to sit down, but he jumped angrily and scolded him again.
