NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 157 Announcing the All-Star Lineup

Curry scored again, and the Warriors still took the lead.

The ball was given to the Cavaliers, and Owen continued to advance with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, James took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Irving is unhappy, but the ball still has to be given.

James took the ball, faced Iguodala's defense, and directly opened the breakthrough.

If James chooses to call the pick-and-roll, then James believes that there must be more double-teams.

As soon as he was double-teamed, James wanted to pass the ball subconsciously, but that would be too dependent on his teammates.

It's not that you can't rely on your teammates, but that you can't rely too much, at least you can't let others see that you are dependent.

James rushed to the right with the ball, and Iguodala followed James closely, constantly interfering with James' dribbling.

Because the formation is relatively wide, and the Warriors' main defender Green is far away, the two have been entangled one-on-one to the basket.

James pushed back Iguodala's oppressive defense and forced a layup.

boom--

drop--

James missed a layup, but caused a defensive foul by Iguodala.

James walked to the free throw line and made a free throw.

After several consecutive dribble adjustments, James made a free throw.

One of two free throws, 77-87
The point difference came to 10 points, and there was only half a quarter left in the game.

In the next two rounds, both sides began to strike iron, and the hit rate began to be affected by physical strength. At this time, Su Tian's advantage was revealed.

Maybe it was a physical problem, or maybe it was a problem of concentration. In short, Su Tian successfully intercepted Barnes' pass and rushed forward with the ball.

At this time, the warrior has more energy than energy, and wants to catch up with Su Tian, ​​but his body does not allow it.

Su Tian rushed to the basket with the ball alone. Seeing that no one was catching up, he jumped up and dunked with both hands.

79-87
Although this goal boosted morale, there was still a lot of points difference.

Curry pushed forward with the ball again. This time Curry held the ball very carefully, fearing that Su Tian would steal the chicken again.

After Curry came to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Green.

As soon as Green got the ball at the top of the arc, he saw Su Tianchong double-teaming himself. Green didn't react for a while, or his brain reacted, but his body didn't.

So Su Tian attacked quickly, the badge of the stealer lit up directly, and grabbed the basketball.

Su Tian completed the steal again and rushed forward.

Green, who was intercepted, was upset for a while, and turned his head towards Su Tian, ​​seeming to want to make up for the defense in time.

But Su Tian knew too well what kind of guy Green was, so he kept an eye on the layup and used the rhythm that he hadn't used for a long time to change the layup.

This rhythm-changing layup is a layup action made by Su Tian on the basis of the European step, combined with the layup of the sledgehammer Kyle Anderson.

Although it is relatively tasteless, it is very useful in some special cases, such as now.

Green clearly saw that Su Tian was about to take off, so Green followed suit.

But Green didn't expect that Su Tian shook himself, you said I was ready to slap him, why didn't you jump?
It's like I'm serving you chicken soup, why don't you drink it?Such a delicious chicken soup is so delicious.

After Su Tianhuang got rid of Green's defense, he made an easy layup.

81-87
With only 6 points left, the Cavaliers' opportunity has come.

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

Everyone on the Cavaliers side is ready to fight, as long as they can defend, they still have a chance.

After Curry came to the frontcourt, he deliberately slowed down the pace and kept wandering outside the three-point line.

Suddenly, Curry speeded up his dribbling rhythm, and with the help of a pick-and-roll, he made a direct three-pointer.

To be honest, this ball Irving has already defended Curry's face, but it is a pity.

Swah——

Curry made a direct three-pointer.

81-90
This ball was to such an extent that Su Tian couldn't help sighing aloud when he saw it at the scene.

Is Curry so incomprehensible this year?It's outrageous.

The point difference returned to 9 points, and there was not much time left.

When it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack again, James took the initiative to pass the ball and began to break through the ball.

After James broke through and attracted the help defense, he passed the ball to Irving who was making an air cut.

Irving rushed to the basket with the ball, but was interfered by Green's defense and made a layup.

At this time, this scene was seen by many fans, and many people have already begun to scold.

The ball is switched, and it is the Warriors' turn to attack again.

The Warriors created an air-cut opportunity for Iguodala through the overall running screen and tactical coordination.

Su Tian couldn't just watch Iguodala rush from his side to the basket, so Su Tian had to take the initiative to switch defenses to block Iguodala's impact.

But in this way, Clay ran out of position, so Green passed the ball in time.

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

Swah——

Clay made a direct three-pointer, 81-93
The difference is getting bigger and bigger.

The fans at the scene became even more excited and began to insult Su Tian.

It seems that Su Tian has to bear the main responsibility for the team's loss, but in fact, among the players present, Su Tian has the highest efficiency and plus-minus value.

In the end, the Cavaliers still lost to the Warriors, losing the game 97-85.

苏天全场24分7助攻5篮板2抢断，投篮命中率在45%，效率不低。

But at the last moment, Su Tian failed to grasp the ball, otherwise there was a real possibility of a comeback.

Losing this game, the Warriors and Cavaliers' record number of negative games was opened.

The Warriors maintained a record of 38 wins and 4 losses, while the Cavaliers' record came to 34 wins and 5 losses.

At the end of this game, there is also an All-Star voting deadline.

According to the list in the last issue, Su Tian should be a solid All-Star.

As a commercial league, the NBA's favorite thing to do is to promote young players, especially those with great commercial value.

Su Tian just hit this gunpoint, no matter in terms of strength or commercial value, it fully meets the requirements of the alliance.

So the alliance was also happy to let Su Tian enter the All-Star, which not only increased the topic, but also made a fortune in the Huaguo market.

After all, the main reason is that Su Tian's own strength and statistics are justified, unlike the No. [-] pick back then, who almost killed Garnett.

On January 1, the NBA officially announced the starting list for the 22 All-Star Game.

Not only that, if nothing else, this is Kobe's last All-Star game.

The 15-16 season is Kobe's retirement tour season, and every team has given it enough respect.

The All-Star starters in the West are Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard.

The Eastern All-Star starters are Dwyane Wade, Su Tian, ​​LeBron James, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony.

It can also be seen from the starting list that there is really no one at the center position.

As for this year's starting list, the most embarrassing is undoubtedly the Raptors.

Toronto is the host city of this year's All-Stars. As a result, the star of the home team failed to enter the starting lineup. It can only be seen whether the substitute can enter.

As soon as the All-Star starting list came out, Anta began to contact Su Tian to inform Su Tian about the signature shoes.

The next day, Su Tian followed Bill Duffy to Anta's American headquarters.

After a while of pleasantries, Su Tian finally saw his pair of signature shoes.

The shoes are made of white as a whole, with sky blue as the main color on the top, and some elements of ink painting are incorporated at the same time.

Let the shoes look more oriental as a whole.

As soon as he saw this pair of shoes, Su Tian couldn't put it down, but he couldn't wear them now because he hadn't customized an exclusive insole for Su Tian.

Su Tian followed Anta's staff to conduct a test of technology and hard work.

After the test, the person in charge of Anta said that the sneakers will be released before the All-Star game, and Su Tian needs to do some promotional and commercial recording during the All-Star game.

Su Tian naturally agreed with all his heart. After dealing with the sneakers, Su Tian returned to Cleveland.

From the 21st to the 27th, the Cavaliers had 4 consecutive home games.

Among these opponents, the only two teams that are more difficult are the Clippers and the Bulls.

Facing the Clippers, Irving was severely punished by veteran Paul. Paul scored 30 points, 9 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals.

But the Cavaliers beat the Clippers 115-102 to win.

詹姆斯全场拿下22分10助攻5篮板，欧文拿下12分2篮板2助攻，苏天拿下22分8助攻5篮板2抢断。

Paul was alone, Griffin suffered an injury and failed to attend the game, and Paul Pierce at the third position was also old.

When seeing Griffin unable to play due to injury, Su Tian subconsciously looked at his badge wall.

The "Iron Man" badge on it shines brightly.

Su Tian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, fortunately he won the badge of Iron Man, otherwise injuries and illnesses would come to him at some point.

In the previous games and training, Su Tian felt unwell a few times, but there was no obvious injury.

It's amazing that these physical discomforts are almost all gone after a night's sleep, and I can't feel them at all when I wake up the next day.

I have to say that the badge of Iron Man is really strong and easy to use.

On the 23rd, the Cavaliers played against the Bulls.

In this game, the Cavaliers lost unexpectedly.

The main reason for the loss in this game can be seen by looking at the data. Irving made 16 of 5 shots from the field, and his shooting percentage was as high as 31.3%.

The overall hit rate of the Cavaliers is 37.2%, which is also very low.

In fact, in the second half of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers still had a chance to change.

But it is a pity that Irving wasted too many opportunities with a large number of shots. In the end, the Cavaliers lost the game 86-93.

After this game, the Cavaliers' record came to 36 wins and 6 losses.

But in the next two games, the Cavaliers won easily, which made the team breathe a sigh of relief.

On January 1, the NBA officially announced the All-Star bench lineup.

In the West, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Chris Paul, James Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge.

In the east, Kyle Lowry, Paul Millsap, Jimmy Butler, John Wall, Isaiah Thomas, Andre Drummond, DeMar DeRozan.

However, due to injuries, Jimmy Butler was unable to attend this All-Star Game and was replaced by Al Horford.

Regarding the All-Star voting this year, an interesting thing happened. This guy Pachulia encouraged the people of his country to vote for him, and he abruptly moved to the fourth position of the western forward.

Put Duncan, Cousins, Anthony Davis, Griffin, and many other stars under him.

But fortunately, it still failed to squeeze into the top three in the end.

But even the fourth place made NBA officials break out in a cold sweat, because Pachulia's 768112 votes were not much lower than Leonard's 782339 votes.

It is estimated that the league will also introduce relevant policies to limit this situation.

The famous Zaza clause is about to be introduced.

But for a foreign star like Su Tian who is capable and popular, the league is still very happy for Su Tian to enter the All-Star.

To put it bluntly, the alliance wants to make money, and it wants to make money standing up.

On January 1, the Cavaliers played against the Spurs at home. This game will also be the Cavaliers' last game in January.

The last time the two sides played against each other, thanks to Su Tian's performance in the last quarter, the situation was stabilized, and the Cavaliers won the duel with the Spurs.

And this one, maybe it's the Spurs' revenge battle.

And the Cavaliers just played a game against the Pistons the day before, and this is considered a back-to-back.

Soon, as time went by, on the evening of the 30th, the Spurs arrived at Quicken Loans Arena on time.

With the whistle of the referee, the two sides stepped onto the field.

The starting lineup for the Cavaliers is still Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, and Thompson.

The Spurs' starting lineup has changed, Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, David West, Aldridge.

Su Tian was also very excited to face the double-virtue combination again, but worried that he would not get the ball in the end.

The two sides started to jump the ball, Aldridge grabbed the initiative, and Parker got the ball and advanced with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Parker held the ball and waited outside the three-point line, waiting for his teammates to get in position.

After watching Aldridge complete the inside position, Parker gave the ball in.

Aldridge, who got the ball, was directly beaten by Thompson. After shaking his shoulders twice in a row, he turned over and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Aldridge took the lead.

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

Irving advanced from the backcourt with the ball, and after coming to the frontcourt, before Irving could make a gesture, James took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Owen had no choice but to pass the ball to the past.

After James got the ball, he faced Leonard's defense and began to call Love for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of Love's pick-and-roll to break through to the inside, halfway through the breakthrough, pass the ball to Su Tian who took the opportunity to make an air cut.

Su Tian ran to get the ball while making an air cut, and was about to go straight to the layup to resolve the battle.

Aldridge suddenly helped defend and stood under the basket.

In terms of defense, Aldridge is not a good defender, but Aldridge can still do things like stand still.

Seeing that Aldridge suddenly assisted in the defense, Su Tian couldn't go straight to the layup, so he passed the ball again to Thompson who was emptied by Aldridge.

Thompson doesn't have much offensive ability, but this kind of close-range shooting is okay, so he shoots directly.

bang - swish -

The basketball bounced over the rim and fell into the net.

2-2, the two teams started with a tie.
