NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 166

Su Tian successfully gave his own response, and the score came to 84-74, still maintaining a 10-point difference.

At this time, the Pacers' main problem is not to attack, but how to defend Su Tian.

The possession of the ball was converted, and the Pacers continued to attack.

This time Paul George hit a three-pointer directly after a pick-and-roll.

84-77
Obviously George intends to use three-pointers to quickly catch up with the point difference, provided that the three-point shooting rate is guaranteed.

The ball was given to the Cavaliers again, and Su Tian personally held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. This time, it was Paul George who defended.

Facing Paul George's defense, Su Tian directly chose to call Love's pick-and-roll, and with the help of the pick-and-roll, he burst into the inside and rushed to the inside.

George quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll, turned around and chased after Su Tian.

Facing Paul George's defense, Su Tian accelerated the rhythm of dribbling breakthroughs, trying to quickly break through George's defense.

But just when Su Tian was about to break through the defense line, the Pacers suddenly double-teamed the defense. Su Tian made an emergency stop to get a pass space, and directly hit the ground and passed the ball to Dellavedova who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Dellavedova received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly. At this time, Su Tian's ten-cent badge was also shining brightly.

Swah——

A three-pointer hit directly.

87-77
Su Tian successfully penetrated the Pacers' defense with two consecutive passes. It has to be said that the Pacers' defense has some problems.

The ball was switched again, and Paul George became impatient. It is normal for the Cavaliers to be unable to beat James, but now there is a problem if they cannot beat the Cavaliers without James.

George came to the frontcourt with the ball by himself and faced Richard Jefferson's defense again. After George called the pick-and-roll, he broke through directly.

Jefferson naturally does not have the strength to defend George alone, and Tyronn Lue did not expect a veteran to do that, so Tyronn Lue ordered Thompson on the inside to prepare for defense at any time before playing.

George broke through all the way to the basket, and Thompson went to the basket to help defend according to Tyronn Lue's arrangement.

But George took off directly, easily avoided Thompson's help defense with a small lever, and scored a layup.

87-79
In the first few rounds at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the quality of offense and defense was surprisingly high, and the fans at the scene also enjoyed watching it.

The ball was given to the Cavaliers again, and as time went by, the pressure on the Cavaliers continued to decrease.

Dellavedova also dribbled forward with ease. After coming to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Su Tian, ​​and ran to the bottom corner by himself.

Su Tian got the ball and faced Paul George again.

With Su Tian's current strength, after opening the King of the Last Quarter, he will definitely have no problem dealing with George, but this is really a bit tiring.

Su Tian continued to call Love for the pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside.

Paul George moved faster around the pick-and-roll this time, and interfered with Su Tian in time. Su Tian was taken aback by George's quick reaction, and hurriedly withdrew from outside the three-point line to protect the ball.

Although the ball was protected, the pick-and-roll tactic obviously failed this time.

And after coming to the three-point line, George still gave enough defensive strength.

Su Tian couldn't stop complaining inside, can't he defend me like he defended Westbrook?My three points are about the same as Westbrook, really, believe me.

Su Tian saw that the confrontation given by George was still strong, so he stepped back again, took a step away, and continued to change the rhythm of the dribble.

Looking at the dribbling posture, there is a bit of Irving.

This is a standard small fight big gesture.

Suddenly, Su Tian took the opportunity to break out and start, breaking through from the right side.

George was limited by his size and had a high center of gravity, so he couldn't keep up in time.

Su Tian broke through all the way to the basket, and when he was about to go straight to the basket, Turner helped defend from the side and tried to block Su Tian.

Su Tian saw Turner's movements from the corner of his eye, so he changed the layup into a throw.

Payton's card throwing reappeared on the field again, and the basketball was hit accurately.

89-79
At this time, half of the fourth quarter is over. If they still can't catch up with the point difference, then this game is basically an explanation.

Vogel had to call a timeout again, rearranged his tactics, and tried to move back to the score.

But Vogel was dumbfounded after the timeout ended, James came back, not only James came back, but Irving also came back.

Vogel: You're all back, right?Then I'll go!

But Vogel didn't have time to regret it at this time, and could only rely on the players to adapt to the situation on the court.

After returning from the timeout, the Pacers began to serve, and Hill took the ball to the frontcourt, trying to play a pick-and-roll with Paul George.

But James and Irving, who came back from the rest, had sufficient physical strength, quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll, and the Pacers failed in their tactics.

Seeing that he couldn't play the tactics, George directly pulled the ball away.

Hill gave the ball and ran beyond the three-point line himself.

Paul George gets the ball and faces James.

James has been like a mountain in the East these years, and I don't know how many aspiring young people have been blocked, and Paul George is one of them.

Although James has a lot to criticize, no one should say he is good, right?
Just like Nick Young, you can say that he is independent, but you cannot say that he is good.

Of course, it is inappropriate to compare Nick Young with James.

At this time on the court, Paul George faced James and called his teammates for a pick-and-roll.

The quality of the pick-and-roll was mediocre, and James easily bypassed it, but it still gave George a little room to break through, and George went straight to the basket with the ball.

James followed George, interfering and giving enough confrontation.

The two fought all the way to the basket, Paul George forced a layup, and the shot hit the iron.

James turned around and got the rebound, and quickly passed the ball to Su Tian who was outside the three-point line.

Su Tian received the ball and turned around to charge. Ellis and Hill all rushed towards Su Tian, ​​double-teaming and defending.

Su Tian passed the ball on the move and easily passed it to Irving, who was also on a fast break.

Irving received the ball and made an easy layup.

91-79
The point difference not only did not shrink but continued to widen, and the Pacers completely declared failure.

In the next few rounds, the Pacers obviously lost their fighting spirit and were completely defeated by the Cavaliers.

In the end, the Cavaliers easily defeated the Pacers 110-95 and won the victory.

And from this game, some media and basketball commentators can see Su Tian's huge offensive potential, and he can not lose the defense in the face of Paul George, which is very worth cultivating.

But now I can only lament that the knight's life is better.

After the game against the Pacers, the Cavaliers' February games are all over, and there will be three consecutive home games, so the pressure on the Cavaliers is not great.

Although the pressure on the team is not great, as the time and schedule progress, the health of the players begins to be challenged.

Tyronn Lue also began to take rotations to protect the health of the players.

On March 3, in the game against the Wizards, Love was rested.

Although Love was absent in this game, the Cavaliers still won easily.

The main reason is that the Cavaliers' guard line is too obvious to suppress the Wizards. Irving's offense, Dellavedova's defense, and Su Tian's explosion in the fourth quarter.

Together created the knight's victory.As for James, that is the cornerstone of the Cavaliers.

On March 3, against the Celtics.

Su Tian was rested in this game, so we still need to pay more attention to the physical condition of the players in back-to-back games.

Tyronn Lue thought it was a surefire game, but in the end it really almost overturned.

In the first quarter, the Celtics poured cold water on them. The score was 35-22 in the first quarter, and the Celtics beat the Cavaliers by 13 points in a single quarter.

Thomas Jr.'s offensive firepower can be seen at a glance, and people can't help but marvel, this little man is amazing.

But fortunately, there is still James, which is why James is the cornerstone of the Cavaliers.

With James, the Cavaliers have a guarantee of victory. In the second quarter, the Cavaliers caught up with the score and even surpassed the Celtics by one point.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers continued to chase hard and beat the Celtics by another 7 points in a single quarter.

In the end, the Cavaliers maintained the point difference to the end and successfully won the victory.

But this game also reminded Tyronn Lue that the defense of the back line is indeed a problem that the Cavaliers are not easy to deal with at this stage.

It's not that no one will defend, Dellavedova is doing very well, but you can't let Dellavedova start because of this, let Owen go on the bench.

On March 3, against the Grizzlies.

In the first quarter, the Grizzlies came up quickly, and the score came to 33-25, leading the Cavaliers by 8 points.

In the second quarter, facing a huge advantage, the disabled Grizzlies did not relax their vigilance and still maintained a high-intensity defense.

And the knights, who had experienced several battles in a row, were already overwhelmed and exhausted.

In the second quarter, the two teams played evenly, and the difference was still 8 points.

In the third quarter, Irving and James obviously wanted to take the initiative to chase points, but the touch still didn't come up, and they missed several consecutive three-pointers.

So in the third quarter, they still failed to catch up, and still maintained an 8-point difference.

In the fourth quarter, as usual, this is a period of time when the Cavaliers are strong, mainly because Su Tian is there, and the first half will generally have an advantage.

But Su Tian also felt what it means to feel off-line today, not to mention that Su Tian was facing Tony Allen's defense.

So in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers did not have the advantage as usual, but Su Tian also tried his best not to lose his footing, and still had an 8-point gap.

At this time, the main players such as James and Irving were replaced again.

James looked at the scoreboard. The 8-point difference looked really dazzling, as if he had been unable to catch up.

Then James began to take the initiative to exert force, and after James took the initiative to exert force, Su Tian also devoted more energy to organizing the team in series.

The effect is still there. After continuous efforts, I finally caught up with only 2 points in the 3 minutes before the end.

But the next ball was not so easy to play. Seeing that the time was about to end, the Cavaliers could only choose foul tactics.

The Grizzlies took advantage of the situation and called Vince Carter from the bench. In the face of foul tactics, Vince Carter's big heart is obviously more useful.

In the end, the Cavaliers still failed to catch up with the score and lost to Carter's free throw.

This is also the eighth loss of the Cavaliers. In theory, the Cavaliers still have the possibility of breaking the Bulls record.

After the game against the Grizzlies, the Cavaliers will have a wave of four consecutive away games.

They played against the Kings, Lakers, Clippers, and Jazz.

On March 3, the Cavaliers travel to Sacramento to play against the Kings.

There is nothing to say against the Kings. Even if the Kings now have Rondo + Rudy Gay + Cousins, the Kings should be rotten or rotten.

120-111, the Cavaliers easily won the Kings.

At the end of the third quarter, the scores of the two sides still looked evenly matched.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers played a wave of 15-5 under the leadership of Su Tian, ​​directly leading the Kings by 10 points.

In the end, the Cavaliers also kept the point difference to the end and won easily.

After the game with the Kings, the Cavaliers rushed to Los Angeles non-stop.

Because back-to-back the next day is the game against the Lakers.

At this time, Su Tian was sitting in the hotel very tangled.

"Do you want to call Kobe? Last time he was just talking, right?"

Su Tian always remembered what Kobe said to him last time, he wanted to contact him when he came to Los Angeles, but Su Tian was really afraid that Kobe would wake him up at four o'clock in the morning.

"Forget it, don't worry about it, let's send a text message first. After all, it's quite late today."

"Kobe, I'm in Los Angeles. ——Su Tian."

It didn't take long for Kobe's message to come back.

"See you tomorrow, boy. — Kobe."

Su Tian let out a long breath. It seemed that Kobe meant to say that we will see each other on the field tomorrow and he can sleep well.

The next day, a refreshed Su Tian followed the team to Staples.

Although the current strength of the Lakers has declined seriously, but with Kobe around, he doesn't know when he will explode all of a sudden, so we still have to be careful.

Soon, it was time for the game. Before the game started, Kobe took a special look at Su Tian, ​​and the two stared at each other for three seconds.

The lineup sent by the Cavaliers is Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Frye, and Thompson.

Love was rested again.

The Lakers' lineup is Russell, Clarkson, Kobe, Randle, Hibbert.

Hibbert and Thompson stepped up to the midfield for a jump ball.

Irving got the ball, advanced the ball to the frontcourt, and gave the ball directly to James.

James got the ball and played against Kobe, and the game was served directly at the beginning of the game, and the audience cheered.

Seeing this scene, Su Tian felt familiar, but at the same time he murmured to himself, this could not have been discussed by the two, is there a script?
Facing Kobe, James directly opened a breakthrough, rushing directly to the basket from the right.

Kobe followed James closely, fighting and interfering, but it seemed to have little effect.

James crushed all the way to the basket, and Hibbert had already defended for a long time to help James.

James didn't panic in the face of the double-teaming of the two, and directly passed the ball to Thompson behind Hibbert. Thompson received the ball and dunked directly.

2-0
Although the first goal was not scored by James, but James initiated it against Kobe, which can be regarded as king to king.

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

Russell held the ball across half court, stood outside the three-point line without rushing out the ball, waiting for his teammates to move.

Obviously Russell also knew that this ball was going to give Kobe a chance, so he didn't rush to attack.

After two consecutive screens, Kobe ran a chance, Russell passed the ball quickly and gave it to Kobe.

Kobe received the ball and made a two-pointer.

Swah——

Kobe's mid-range is still so stable.

2-2
