NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 158 Veteran G and P
Thompson contributed at the beginning and seemed very happy and excited.

Su Tian also got an assist in the opening game and returned to defense happily.

The ball was given to the Spurs again, and Parker advanced with the ball.

This time Parker beckoned and played a pick-and-roll with Aldridge.

The Spurs used the pick-and-roll to cooperate with a lot of derivative tactics, and Irving was concentrating on Parker's movements.

But in any case, the defense is always passive.

Parker suddenly accelerated, rushing from Owen's side to the inside line, and Owen hurriedly turned to chase.

But Parker's purpose is obviously not simply to hit the basket. After attracting Irving's defense, Parker passed the ball to Aldridge who followed the next pass.

Aldridge got the ball and hit the basket in three steps.

At this time, Thompson was still chasing behind Aldridge, but in the end he failed to catch up, and Aldridge made a layup.

In fact, Thompson's speed is not slow, and Aldridge is not much faster than Thompson.

The main reason is that Thompson was more defensive about Aldridge's pick-and-roll at the beginning and then caught and shot, rather than going down to the basket.

Thompson made a typical empiricist mistake and deserves criticism.

2-4, the shooting percentages of both sides are quite high at the beginning, and they have not hit the iron yet.

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

If there is no accident, there should be an accident.

This time Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball. Before James had time to communicate with Irving, Irving rushed into the Spurs defensive formation with the ball.

Although Parker hasn't had time to react, the Spurs' overall defense has always been excellent, which mainly depends on the team's good help defenders.

The previous Spurs had Duncan, who contributed to the team's overall defense, and now they have Leonard, who is also a top defensive star.

Irving's breakthrough was delayed by Leonard. Irving failed to rush to the basket in one breath and was stopped by Leonard halfway.

But Irving is obviously not someone who admits defeat so easily, so he tried to use his own skills to break through Leonard.

Leonard is not used to these problems of Irving, and the direct death entanglement is followed by a steal.

After Leonard steals, he rushes forward with the ball.

Irving also hurriedly turned around to chase, but Leonard was much stronger than Irving, and even if he caught up, he would not be able to get the ball back.

Leonard's speed is not fast, but it's not very slow either. While fighting against Irving's interference, he made a layup.

2-6
Irving paid the price for his arrogance, but the price obviously needs to be borne by the team.

So the possession of the ball was switched again. When Love served the bottom line, James didn't go back, and directly held the ball in the backcourt to advance.

Su Tian also found it very interesting to see this scene. James is directly grabbing the ball.

After James came to the frontcourt, he still called Love for the pick-and-roll.

With the help of Love's pick-and-roll, James broke through to the inside.

All the way to the basket, at this time the double-virtue combination of Leonard and Aldridge, all double-teamed, and strictly guarded James.

James struggled to pass the ball between the crowd and gave it to Su Tian who was outside the three-point line.

Su Tian was also double-teamed just after he got the ball, but it was a fake double-team, mainly to force Su Tian to play the ball.

But Su Tian was not disturbed, and directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian made his first shot in the game and made a direct three-pointer.

5-6
This goal not only scored Su Tian, ​​but James also got an assist, hello, hello, hello everyone.

But Owen is not very good.

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

Parker passed the ball to the frontcourt and faced Irving's defense. At this time, Irving's defense was affected by his attitude and psychology, and the quality of his defense was not that high.

So Parker didn't even call for a pick-and-roll, but took advantage of Owen's inattention, and suddenly burst past Irving.

Parker, who sprinted all the way to the basket, was not in a hurry to make a layup.

It was a spiral rotation that shook Thompson's assist defense block.

Immediately afterwards, Irving made an uphill grab from behind. Parker took no time to rush and passed the ball to Aldridge at the basket.

At this time, Thompson was shaken away, the basket was empty, and Aldridge got the ball and made a layup.

5-8
It seems that the problem with this ball lies with Thompson, but in fact the problem lies with Owen.

In the conversion of the ball, James still holds the ball in the backcourt and advances.

After coming to the frontcourt, James passed the ball to Su Tian, ​​signaling Su Tian to play one.

Seeing this, Su Tian didn't refuse, and called Love to start the pick-and-roll, using the cover to break through to the inside.

Su Tian, ​​who broke through halfway, attracted the Spurs' defense, so he made a covert pass to Irving in the bottom corner.

Owen has shooting space at this time, but I don't know why he didn't directly shoot a three-pointer, but rushed inside with the ball.

But it is a pity that Irving's layup was interfered by Leonard, and the layup hit the iron.

Leonard took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and get the rebound, and started a fast break with the ball.

Parker rushed to the front of the team, Leonard passed the ball, Parker caught the ball and made a layup.

5-10
The two teams, which were originally evenly matched, suddenly saw a 5-point difference.

Tyronn Lue raised his hand and called a timeout. Tyronn Lue felt that there were some problems with the team's defense, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.

Taking advantage of this timeout, Tyronn Lue replaced Owen, just telling Owen to adjust the rotation time.

Dellavedova cooperated with Su Tian to play, so that the defense in the backcourt would be guaranteed.

So after the game continued, the offense and defense of the two teams returned to normal, and the team's operation gradually returned to normal.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 23-27, and the Cavaliers trailed by 4 points.

In the second quarter, Tyronn Lue replaced Irving as agreed, took down Su Tian, ​​and let jr and Irving match the backcourt.

The inside line is Thompson and Mozgov.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Irving's offensive desire was sufficient, and he began to single Mills when he got the ball.

Mills' defense really couldn't prevent Irving's breakthrough, but the Spurs' integrity is relatively strong. Although Irving also successfully scored, it consumed a lot of energy.

Because of the presence of James on the Cavaliers side, they are not worried that Irving will lose his organization when playing.

After Irving played two on one side, James began to pass the ball to organize an offense.

In the second quarter, Irving played well. Although the offensive efficiency was not high, facing the Spurs, at least he didn't widen the point difference.

At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 51-54, with the Cavaliers trailing by three points.

In the third quarter, Su Tian, ​​who had rested for a whole quarter, was sent to play again, and Owen did not go down to rest.

The lineup on the field became, Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, Mozgov.

Because Irving has been outputting in the second quarter, he began to be less obsessed with the ball in the third quarter and began to pass the ball.

Halfway through the third quarter, James broke through for a layup and caused Leonard to score a defensive foul and make a free throw.

Tyronn Lue took the opportunity to replace Owen and take JR Smith.

Irving has no complaints either. After all, counting the second quarter, Irving has played for one and a half consecutive quarters, and it's time to rest.

After James made two free throws, the game continued.

The Spurs' offensive tactics moved, and finally gave it to Leonard. Leonard missed a three-pointer and Love took the rebound.

Love was about to pass the ball to launch a fast break, but was interrupted by the Spurs in time, and failed to play a fast break, Su Tian ran to respond.

Su Tian, ​​who got the ball, pushed forward with the ball. When he came to the frontcourt, he happened to cooperate with Love in a pick-and-roll.

Su Tian made a direct three-pointer with the help of a screen.

Swah——

Su Tian made a direct three-pointer.

63-63
The two teams drew.

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

Parker came to the front court with the ball, was delayed by Su Tian, ​​and passed the ball to Aldridge under the basket.

Aldridge turned around and made a layup with his back against Mozgov.

63-65
Aldridge is still pretty solid.

The ball was given to the Cavaliers again, and Su Tian held the ball in the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt.

After coming to the frontcourt, Su Tian gave the ball to James and went to run by himself.

James took the ball to start a breakthrough, and after attracting the attention of the defense, he passed the ball to Su Tian who was running.

Su Tian took the ball and rushed to the basket. When he rushed to the basket, Aldridge came to help defend, and Su Tian passed the ball to Mozgov.

Mozgov receives the ball and hits a shot from close range.

65-65
The two teams drew again.

In the next few rounds, the two teams began to stalemate, until the end of the third quarter, the score came to 72-72, and the two teams were evenly divided.

Soon, the intermission is over and the fourth quarter begins.

The lineup sent by the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter is Dellavedova, Su Tian, ​​Shumpert, Love, and Thompson.

With Dellavedova here, Su Tian can devote more energy to the offensive end.

The Spurs owned the first ball in the opening game. Mills advanced the ball to the frontcourt and directly gave the ball to Aldridge, who was wrestling with Love under the basket.

Aldridge got the ball and was ready to single Love, shaking it from side to side.

But just when Aldridge was about to turn over and shoot a jumper, Su Tian suddenly appeared from the side and snatched the basketball in Aldridge's hand.

After the steal, Su Tian rushed forward with the ball. On the Spurs side, only Mills followed up in time, but it didn't help.

Su Tian came all the way to the basket, and after the European step confronted Mills, he scored a layup.

Meanwhile, drop--

Su Tian scored a layup and caused a foul by Mills.

Su Tian stood on the free throw line and made a steady hit with the extra penalty.

75-72
The Spurs had no choice but to organize the offense again. This time Mills did not give the ball directly, but began to seek cooperation with his teammates.

After consecutive pick-and-roll screens, Mills finally found a chance to break through and rushed inside with the ball.

Thompson on the inside rushed to the basket to help defend, and Mills passed the ball to Diaw.

Dior made a close-range shot, which was a solid shot, but was interfered by Love in time, and the shot hit the iron.

Thompson just took the rebound and passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian advanced quickly with the ball and was blocked by Ginobili.

So Su Tian slowed down and waited for his teammates to take their positions.

After his teammates settled down, Su Tian began to call Love for a pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, he pulled to the three-point line, shook Ginobili, and then broke through to the inside.

Ginobili was pulled away by Su Tian. After Su Tian broke into the three-point line, he immediately stopped and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Silky smooth to a mid-range direct hit.

Su Tian's middle distance reminded Popovich who was standing on the sidelines of some bad memories.

So much like that man.

77-72
The ball is given to the Spurs.

The Spurs have failed to attack for two consecutive rounds, and Mills can already imagine Popovich scolding himself.

So this time after Mills came to the frontcourt, he gave the ball directly to Aldridge and started running by himself.

At this time, Aldridge held the ball, stood outside the three-point line, and faced Thompson's defense.

Aldridge wanted to use a breakthrough to complete the attack, but Thompson's speed in the interior was not too slow. After Aldridge made two sudden steps, he failed to completely break through Thompson's defense.

But Aldridge has other solutions. I saw Aldridge turned his back, and after a push, he turned over and shot a jumper.

Swah——

This time without Su Tian's trouble, Aldridge made a shot.

77-74
The possession of the ball was changed, and Dellavedova held the ball across half court and gave it to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball, faced Ginobili, and used a three-threat that he was not very proficient in.

At this time, Ginobili was no longer that immature boy, and Su Tian's three threats failed to make Ginobili feel threatened.

Even complaining in his heart, these three threats must have been learned from James.

Su Tian saw that the three threats were not enough, so he directly started a breakthrough, took the first step, and rushed to the basket from the right.

Ginobili followed Su Tian step by step, and the two kept entangled to the free throw line. Su Tian suddenly took a step back, and then shot.

Ginobili's defense at this time was not completely out of position, which gave Su Tian part of the interference.

But Su Tian in the final state has first-class anti-interference ability.

Swah——

Su Tian continued to hit in the middle distance.

79-74
Popovich has been frowning on the sidelines. Although three-pointers are quite popular now, they can't stand the mid-range with a high shooting rate.

But Popovich didn't call a timeout, apparently Popovich had other considerations.

The game continued, and the Spurs were still running tactics and organizing offense.

Aldridge made a reverse run to distance himself from Thompson, received a pass from Ginobili and made a layup.

79-76
Aldridge also started hitting consecutively.

Seeing that Aldridge was in such a good state, Su Tian knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so Su Tian immediately used Love's pick-and-roll to make a direct three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian made a direct three-pointer.

82-76
The point difference came to 6 points, Su Tian made four consecutive shots and felt hot.

Sure enough, Popovich raised his hand to call a timeout, and began to output to the Spurs players.

Tai Lunlu saw that Su Tian was in such a good condition, and didn't want to interrupt Su Tian, ​​but Owen next to him stared at him with two big eyes, and looked at him like a fool.

So Tyronn Lue had to start the lineup rotation.

Soon, the timeout ended and the game continued. The Cavaliers' lineup returned, Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, and Thompson.

The Spurs also made personnel adjustments, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, David West, Aldridge.

Both sides have replaced the starting lineup or the main lineup.

After the game started again, the Spurs started to attack.

As soon as Parker and Irving played against each other, Parker directly broke through Irving.

Owen seemed to be a beat behind, before he turned around and chased after him.

But at this time, Parker has already widened the gap of two statures with Owen.

Parker came to the basket.The top turned and shook Thompson who was helping to defend, and scored a layup.

82-78
Sure enough, no one in the GDP should be underestimated, even if they are old.
