NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 164

Seeing that the team was so embarrassed for a while, Bill had no choice but to come out from inside and run to the outside of the three-point line to receive the ball.

Here, as soon as Bill received the ball, Su Tian immediately wound up with death. This kind of defensive intensity and awareness is something Bill has never seen before.

But Bill also protected the ball without being easily intercepted, and then began to call his teammates for pick-and-rolls.

Bill tried to use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Su Tian, ​​and Bill used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside.

But Bill only found a little room to attack, and failed to completely shake off Su Tian, ​​who followed Bill closely.

While resisting Su Tian's interference, Bill came to the basket with the ball. At this time, Bill had no chance to pass the ball and could only force a layup.

Not surprisingly, Bill's forced layup was interfered with, and the basketball hit the iron.

Su Tian turned around and took the rebound, then turned around and charged.

Bill was half a beat slow in reacting and failed to catch up in time. Su Tian rushed to the basket first and made an easy layup.

32-27
The Cavaliers continued to widen the point difference, and Tyronn Lue nodded frequently watching from the sidelines.

The possession of the ball was switched, and the Wizards continued to organize the offense.

Sessions continued to advance with the ball.

In fact, Ramon Sessions is a relatively strong player. He could almost get 15+5 data in his peak period, but now he is in a period of decline.

This season, Sessions can only get 9 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, which is a lot of decline.

Sessions, who came to the frontcourt, continued to look for Bill, but obviously under the entanglement of Su Tian's death, it was difficult for Bill to get a good offensive opportunity.

And Sessions is also uncomfortable. It is also very tricky for the declining veteran to meet the energetic Dellavedova.

So Sessions had to seek the help of other teammates and call his teammates to play pick-and-roll cooperation.

Markieff Morris ran to the pick-and-roll and used the pick-and-roll Sessions to break through.

But Dellavedova quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and wound up again.

Sessions fought to no avail, he stopped and got up quickly to get a shot, and quickly stopped and shot a jumper.

Although he left the space for his shot, he also messed up Sessions' own rhythm. He hit the iron and missed.

Love grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian held the ball and slowly advanced to the frontcourt, waiting for his teammates to move.

When the time was right, Su Tian started to call Love for the pick-and-roll, as if he was teaching the pick-and-roll just arrived at Sessions, and used Love's pick-and-roll to break through to the inside.

Bill kept up with Su Tian who was holding the ball without the ball, but Su Tian rushed all the way to the basket with ease, went straight to the basket with a European step, and made an easy hit.

34-27
The point difference came to 7 points, and the Cavaliers showed their advantage.

This time the Wizards served again, and Bill directly advanced with the ball in the backcourt.

But whether with the ball or without the ball, it is impossible for Bill to escape Su Tian's control.

Bill, who came to the frontcourt, faced Su Tian's defense. Su Tian directly put strength on Bill, and made a death-coiled shot.

Bill kept changing his rhythm, barely stabilized the ball, and began to call his teammates for pick-and-rolls.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Bill gained a little space and made a direct three-pointer.

Swah——

Fortunately, Bill scored a three-pointer.

34-30
Although this three-pointer hit the net, the gap between the two sides is still visible to the naked eye.

The next few rounds proved this theory even more. The Wizards' offense became stagnant, while the Cavaliers' offense was still smooth under the leadership of Su Tian.

At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 61-50, and the Cavaliers led the Wizards by 11 points.

During the intermission, Su Tian didn't feel that he was very tired, obviously he still had some reservations.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers continued to adjust personnel, Su Tian took a rest, and Irving played to lead the team.

The field lineup became Irving, jr Smith, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, Thompson.

The Wizards also replaced Wall on the field, and Bill went down to rest.

Although Wall's offensive ability is not weak now, it is still a little worse than Irving.

What's more, the Cavaliers' lineup is also higher than the Wizards' configuration.

So in the seemingly evenly matched third quarter, in fact, the Cavaliers have always held the initiative.

Irving played like a fish in water on the court, relaxed and comfortable, and his appearance of power in his hands made people imagine, as if he saw the future superstar of the league.

Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score had reached 87-71, and the Cavaliers led by 16 points.

Seeing that the lead was so much at the end of the third quarter, Tyronn Lue asked Irving to rest for a while, and once again sent the backcourt combination of Dellavedova and Su Tian to play the first half of the fourth quarter.

Soon, the fourth quarter began and Su Tian came on the court.

The first ball was given to the Cavaliers, and Dellavedova advanced the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian faced Bill again with the ball.

This time, Bill was taught a lesson by Su Tian. Bill's field goal percentage was only [-]%, and he was suppressed by Su Tian in all aspects.

Now come up again in the fourth quarter, Bill wants to save his face.

But it turns out that the more you look forward to, the more things will backfire.

What's more, it was Su Tian who started the king of the last quarter in the fourth quarter.

I saw that Su Tian took the first step directly, breaking through from Bill's right side to the inside line, but the first step of the start passed Bill's defense line, and even left Bill behind.

Bill could only turn around and chase after him. Although he couldn't catch up, at least he had to show his attitude.

Su Tianyi rode Juechen to the basket. At this time, the Wizards had Gortat guarding the basket, but Gortat was not a center who was good at defense.

So Su Tian directly swayed away Gortat's help defense with a European step, and easily hit a layup.

89-71
The gap continued to widen.

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

Wall advanced with the ball, and was blocked by Dellavedova just after halftime, and the two began to constantly fight against each other.

It took some time before Wall took the ball to a position one step outside the three-point line and was entangled by Dellavedova.

At this time, Bill was also running around the field, trying to run out of space to catch the ball, but now Su Tian not only has a buff to his ability, but also recovers his physical strength. It is impossible for Bill to run out of Su Tian's palm.

Wall saw that Bill was also very embarrassed, so he called Gortat to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Wall found a breakthrough space, accelerated the start directly, and rushed to the basket. Dellavedova quickly followed up to chase and defend.

The two entangled all the way to the basket, and Wall made a layup directly. After all, Dellavedova was still a beat behind and failed to interfere. Wall made a layup.

89-73
Although Wall scored this goal through hardships, in Su Tian's view, the Wizards are only prolonging their suffering.

The possession of the ball was changed, and Dellavedova continued to advance with the ball and gave the ball to Su Tian.

This time, Su Tian held the ball outside the three-point line, started with three threats, called Love for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside.

Bill was definitely not as fast as Su Tian at the moment, so he had no choice but to turn around and chase.

But within two steps of chasing him, Su Tian immediately stopped and shot a jumper. At this time, Bill hadn't adjusted his center of gravity and ran over.

So Su Tian made a direct hit without any interference in his shot.

91-73
The scores of the two teams were temporarily stalemate.

In the next few rounds, the score of the two teams did not change any more, and it remained at around 20 points.

And Tyronn Lue also took advantage of a dead ball to take Irving up, and the Cavaliers' advantage became more obvious.

Until the last 2 minutes, the Wizards still did not catch up, so Wizards head coach Randy Whitman called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and surrendered.

In order to protect the players, Tyronn Lue also took down the main players and replaced them with bench players.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers easily defeated the Wizards 113-90 and won the victory.

The Cavaliers' record has come to 51 wins and 7 losses, and at this time the Warriors' record has come to 53 wins and 5 losses, and the two teams have a difference of two wins and losses.

After the game against the Wizards, the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland non-stop, because tomorrow there will be a back-to-back home game against the Pacers.

Back in Cleveland, the Cavaliers went home and took the time to start resting, making full preparations for tomorrow's game.

On February 2, the Pacers arrived at Quicken Loans Arena on time.

James also has enough rest and is ready for a tough battle.

Soon, the game was ready to start, and Pacers center Ian Mahinmi and Thompson stood on the halfway line for a jump ball.

With the whistle of the referee, the game began, the two jumped high, and in the end Thompson was slightly better and grabbed the first attack.

Irving got the ball and advanced it to the frontcourt and handed the ball directly to James.

In the last game, Irving, Su Tian and Love all played. This state may not improve so quickly, so it was Tyronn Lue's arrangement to give the team leadership to James in the early stage.

James got the ball and faced Paul George's defense. The two faced each other, but it was no longer the scene of previous years.

When the Pacers led by Paul George were at their most glorious, they went all the way to the Eastern Conference finals and fought fiercely with the peak Heat Big Three, which once pushed the Heat to a desperate situation.

But now that the Pacers have changed their lineup, they are no longer as brilliant as they were before.

Last year's Pacers didn't even make it to the playoffs, and this year's Pacers are still on the verge of the playoffs.

James just came up and tried to be safe, so he called Love to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to make a breakthrough.

Paul George fought his way around the pick-and-roll and turned to chase James.

James rushed to the basket one body ahead of George. At this time, the Pacers' insider Mahinmi hurried to help defend.

After James attracted two double-teams, he broke through and scored the ball to Thompson who was emptied.

Thompson received the ball and dunked directly. With James attracting firepower, the Cavaliers' offense became easy and freehand.

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

George Hill pushed the ball across half court and gave the ball directly to Monta Ellis.

Compared with without the ball, Monta Ellis is still more threatening to attack with the ball in his hand, but unfortunately, the new defensive champion, Su Tian, ​​is facing Ellis.

Ellis averaged 18.9 points, 4.1 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game in the Mavericks last season. After coming to the Pacers this season, the data dropped significantly.

He averaged only 13.8 points, 4.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage also dropped by two percentage points, to just over [-]%.

Facing Su Tian's defense, Ellis did not dare to act rashly. Obviously Ellis also knew that Su Tian's defense was not easy to mess with, but Ellis could be steady for two seconds. After all, he was a proud person in his bones.

So Ellis started directly, trying to rely on speed to break through Su Tian's defense. This move did have some effect, but only a little.

Su Tian followed Ellis closely, constantly confronting and making steals and interference.

Ellis and Su Tian fought all the way to the penalty area, and Ellis couldn't go any further, so Ellis directly collected the ball and took off, trying to score the goal with a pull-up layup.

But Su Tian was also well prepared. He took off at the right time and completely covered Ellis without leaving a gap.

Ellis couldn't find the right time to make a shot, so he had to force his shot.

boom--

The basketball hit the iron as expected. After landing, Su Tian turned around to get the rebound, and directly shot a long pass to James who was beyond the three-point line.

James got the ball and quickly advanced with the ball. He wanted to play a fast break. Paul George hurriedly turned around to catch up. James, who had just started, could still catch up with George.

But as soon as this side caught up, James' speed was fully up. Facing James with full speed, Paul George had no better choice except fouling, so he had to make a tactical foul and hug James.

The referee blew the whistle, the Cavaliers failed to start a fast break, and the ball was re-served from the sideline.

Love stood on the sideline and served the ball, which was successfully delivered to James.

James once again held the ball against Paul George's defense and called Thompson to pick and roll.

With the help of Thompson's pick-and-roll, James broke out and made a breakthrough.

Paul George hurried to chase. Although there was a gap in strength, Paul George was not inferior in speed.

In the entire league at this stage, apart from Leonard, Paul George's defense can handle James.

The two confronted all the way to the basket. At this time, the gap between the two was also reflected. George's confrontation attributes were still worse than James. James pushed George's defense and scored a layup.

4-0
The Cavaliers started with a 4-point advantage.

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

Hill held the ball across the half, and this time he didn't pass the ball in a hurry, but waited for Paul George's movement.

If the Pacers' offense wants to play out, they still have to count on Paul George to resist the banner.

After multiple screens and pick-and-rolls, George gets a catch and Hill makes a quick pass.

George didn't have time to hesitate when he got the ball, so he shot a three-pointer directly. After the three-pointer, James' defense followed.

Swah——

George was lucky to get the ball into the basket.

4-3
The ball was given to the Cavaliers again, and Irving advanced with the ball, still giving it to James.

According to Tyronn Lue's arrangement, the first quarter was basically dominated by James holding the ball, and Irving and Su Tian were also happy. After all, it wasn't long after the last game, and their physical condition hadn't improved yet.

James continued to call the pick-and-roll with the ball, and used Love's pick-and-roll to break through to the inside. George hurried back to defend as if he was in a stress reaction.

But at this time, James played a trick and didn't really make a breakthrough at all. Instead, he made a three-pointer with a retreat step.

Swah——

James also easily hit this uninterrupted three-pointer.

7-3
It can also be seen from this three-pointer that James is indeed in good condition.
