NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 170 Su Tian leads the team
Ended the game with the Bucks, followed by a back-to-back game against the Pacers on the edge of the playoffs.

The Pacers are on the verge of the playoffs this season, and will naturally be more desperate in the final stage.

Tyronn Lue didn't want the team to go up and work hard. Now is not the time, so he started the rotation again.

Tyronn Lue arranged for Irving and James to take turns, and let Su Tianlai lead the team to fight the Pacers.

So the starters for this game became, Su Tian, ​​jr Smith, Shumpert, Love, Mozgov.

The starting lineup for the Pacers is George Hill, Monta Ellis, Paul George, Lavoy Allen, Ian Mahinmi.

Soon, the game started, and Mozgov grabbed the initiative.

Su Tian got the ball and pushed forward with the ball, came to the frontcourt and faced Hill's defense, called Love for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside.

Hill quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll, turned around and chased Su Tian, ​​Su Tian came to the basket one step ahead of Hill, and made a layup directly.

At this time, Mahinmi had just come to the basket, and his pace was too slow.

2-0
The possession of the ball was changed, and Hill advanced with the ball. After coming to the frontcourt, he directly gave the ball to Paul George.

George held the ball against Shumpert, and after three threats, he broke through directly.

When he came to the middle distance, he made an emergency stop and made a jump shot, and the basketball was hit accurately.

2-2
At the beginning, both sides played faster.

Su Tian continued to hold the ball and called for a pick-and-roll.

This time, Mahinmi came to the basket early and blocked Su Tian's breakthrough route. Su Tian didn't rush and passed the ball to Mozgov with a ground hit.

Mozgov made a direct hit from close range.

4-2
The ball was given to the Pacers again, and the rhythm on both sides became faster and faster.

This time Hill gave the ball to Ellis, and Ellis took the ball and directly broke through jr, but Ellis didn't notice that his team's players hadn't finished their positions yet.

So Mozgov on the inside double-teamed ahead of time, Ellis made a forced shot, and the basketball hit the iron.

Love grabbed the rebound, Su Tian turned and ran, and Love passed the ball.

The cooperation between the two can be said to be quite tacit.

Su Tian received the ball and went straight to the basket, collected the ball and took off, dunking successfully with both hands.

6-2
The tempo on both sides has increased too fast, and the Pacers are obviously a little uncomfortable, and the tempo is a little bit behind.

So this time Paul George personally advanced with the ball and began to try to press the rhythm.

After all, without James and Irving, the Pacers still have the upper hand in a competition of strength on paper, so there is no need for the Pacers to be so anxious.

As long as they play steadily, the Pacers have a good chance of winning.

George held the ball and called his teammates for a pick-and-roll, and with the help of the pick-and-roll, George held the ball and broke through to the inside.

Mozgov's defense slowed George a step, and George scored a layup.

6-4
There is still a gap between the two teams. How can George say that is also an All-Star player.

Of course, the current Su Tian is also a veritable All-Star.

Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball, and still started the pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll came out, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Hill had a habit of thinking and didn't pay attention to Su Tian's three-pointer. Su Tian made a direct three-pointer without interference.

9-4
Seeing Su Tian's sudden shot in, George also became interested. When he came to the frontcourt, he shot a super long three-pointer before the half-court line was a few steps away.

Swah——

George's three-pointer was lucky and went straight into the net.

9-7
The scores on both sides rose very quickly, and within a few rounds, the score went to 20+.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 33-36, and the Cavaliers were temporarily behind by 3 points.

Except that Su Tian strengthened his personal offense in the first few rounds, Su Tian still mainly led his teammates later on, using passing to organize the team's offense in series.

Both jr Smith and Love have performed one after another.

In the second quarter, Su Tian will temporarily rest for half a quarter, and the lineup will be changed to Mo Williams, JR Smith, Richard Jefferson, Love, and Thompson.

Without James and Irving, Tyronn Lue doesn't have many cards to play in his hand. At least one of Su Tian and Love must be on the field.

On the Pacers side, Monta Ellis led the main attack.

Although Xiao Mo is not as good at playing as Ellis, it is still no problem to hold the ball a little bit, and with the assistance of Smith, he can put the ball in Love's hands firmly.

The inside line of the Pacers is not strong defensively, and Love has also played several low positions in a row.

Ellis' impact is still there, but his finishing ability at the basket has degraded a lot, and it's a pity to have two rounds of the ball.

Soon after half a quarter, Tyronn Lue took Su Tian up again while taking advantage of the dead ball, and replaced Dellavedova by the way.

Su Tian, ​​who returned to the game, directly held the ball by himself in the first round, faced Ellis' defense, and chose to call Love for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian broke through with the ball, chose to challenge the Pacers' basket, and went all the way to the basket to make a layup.

Turner wanted to help defend the block, but was easily dodged by Su Tian.

After attacking by himself in the first round, Su Tian began to organize and connect with the ball.

Su Tian's strategy is to use his own attack to attract attention first, and then organize the team's attack and lead his teammates.

Soon, the second quarter ended, the score came to 61-66, and the Cavaliers were temporarily behind by 5 points.

With Su Tian's own strength at this stage, he still can't do it if he wants to toughen up the Pacers. Even with the help of Love, it will still be a bit difficult.

But what Su Tian can do now is to hold on to the score difference. As long as the score difference can be controlled within 10 points, there is still a chance in the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Love had to take a break, and the lineup changed to Dellavedova, Su Tian, ​​Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, and Mozgov.

On the Pacers side, Paul George is on the stage, and Stuckey and Hill are on the back line.

The first ball in the third quarter was given to the Pacers, and Hill advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and gave the ball directly to George.

George held the ball against Jefferson's defense and started a three-threat test, followed by a direct breakthrough, breaking into the inside from the right.

Jefferson didn't hold the defensive position, and barely interfered with George, but obviously the degree of interference was limited.

George came all the way to the basket, and Mozgov was already ready to assist in the defense. Facing Jefferson's pursuit and Mozgov's assistance, George did not choose to pass the ball, but defended a The small lever made a layup.

61-68
The ball is switched, and it's the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Dellavedova advanced with the ball, came to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian chose to call Frye to pick and roll, and with the help of the pick and roll, Su Tian also broke through directly.

George Hill, who was defending Su Tian, ​​and Solomon Hill, who was defending Frye, both chose to rush towards Su Tian and directly double-teamed Su Tian.

But Su Tian seemed to have expected to have eyes in the back of his head, and passed the ball to Frye who was standing still at the top of the arc.

Frye caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

The moment Frye shot, Su Tian's "ten cents" badge also lit up.

Swah——

Frye's three-pointer hit directly.

64-68
It is true that Frye has three-point ability, but without Su Tian, ​​he would definitely not be able to perform on the field today.

When Frye was in the Magic in the first half of this season, his three-point shooting percentage was 39.7%. After coming to the Cavaliers, his three-point shooting percentage increased to 43.9%, which has almost returned to the peak three-point shooting data.

It can be said that a good passer can add a lot to these players who catch and shoot.

After the Cavaliers scored a three-pointer, the point difference was only 4 points, but it is estimated that the Pacers will not give such an easy opportunity again.

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

Stuckey pushed forward with the ball, came to the frontcourt, encountered Dellavedova's defense, passed the ball directly to George, and did not try his own singles.

Now it is not the same as before, and Stucky is no longer the prince of the past.

Speaking of which, most of those called princes or young masters in the NBA are mainly joking.

George got the ball, this time he chose to call the pick-and-roll, and after using the pick-and-roll, he made a three-pointer directly.

It seems that George wants to return the three-pointer just now, but the result is not what people want.

boom--

Basketball hit the iron, Thompson, Mozgov and Turner under the basket, the three huddled together.

Mozgov touched the ball first, but missed it, and the basketball bounced again.

When everyone was fighting fiercely, Su Tian suddenly ran from the side. Mozgov also saw Su Tian's movements from the corner of his eyes, so he blocked Turner with a card.

Su Tian took the opportunity to jump high and grab the rebound. This set of business of blocking people and grabbing rebounds can learn from the Thunder.

After Su Tian got the rebound, he held the ball and was ready for a fast break, but was blocked by Hill and George. The fast break failed, so Su Tian moved to the frontcourt and waited for his teammates to settle down.

In fact, in order to deal with the Pacers, Su Tian still has some careful thoughts, such as trying to slow down the pace in the third quarter to hit the success rate.

In the fourth quarter, catch up again, so that the team's chances of winning will be improved.

After his teammates settled down, Su Tian continued to hold the ball and call for Frye's pick-and-roll.

Using the pick-and-roll Su Tian to make a breakthrough, this time Solomon Hill did not let go of Frye to chase Su Tian, ​​but stayed by Frye's side all the time.

But relying on George Hill alone, it was impossible to catch up with Su Tian, ​​who broke through with the ball, so Paul George began to double-team the flanks.

Su Tian saw George's intention to double-team while walking, so he was ready to pass the ball.

After attracting the defense, Su Tian passed the ball directly to Richard Jefferson, who had already run to the bottom corner.

Jefferson received the ball and made a three-pointer from the corner.

Swah——

Hit a three-pointer steadily.

Not only Frye, but Jefferson will also receive Su Tian's bonus.

67-68
The Cavaliers made two consecutive three-pointers, and the point difference was only 1 point.

Su Tian, ​​who originally wanted to play steadily, did not expect that there would be hope of recovering the score in the third quarter.

But the next few rounds brought Su Tian back to reality.

Paul George succeeded in several strong hits in a row and made a steady jumper.George began to show off continuously.

On the Cavaliers' side, after Su Tian missed a mid-range shot, his teammates also started to become ineffective from time to time.

The score was opened again, but with Su Tian's persistent efforts, the score was always kept within 10 points.

Soon the third quarter ended, and the score at this time came to 84-91
At the end of the third quarter, Su Tian was so tired that he sat on the bench drinking water to wipe his sweat.

The first three quarters totaled 36 minutes, and they only rested for half a quarter of 6 minutes, which exhausted Su Tian's physical strength a lot.

But fortunately, it was all right after the opening of the fourth quarter.

Soon, the intermission was over, and Su Tian stepped onto the field again.

Originally, Tai Lunlu wanted to persuade Su Tian to take a break, but seeing Su Tian's firm eyes, Tai Lunlu chose to believe in Su Tian.

The referee blew the whistle for the fourth quarter, and Su Tian instantly felt a surge of strength from his body, and his fatigue immediately eased a lot.

At this time, the lineup given by the Cavaliers is Dellavedova, Su Tian, ​​Shumpert, Love, and Thompson.

Paul George on the Pacers took a break and Ellis came on.

The first ball was given to the Cavaliers, and Dellavedova started to advance with the ball.

Considering Su Tian's physical problems, he wanted Su Tian to play soy sauce, but seeing Su Tian asking for the ball, Dellavedova had no choice but to pass the ball to him.

Su Tian received the ball, felt the bonus of the king of the last quarter, and called Love for a pick-and-roll again.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian shot a three-pointer directly from the outside, which actually felt like Curry.

Swah——

Su Tian directly hit the net with a three-pointer, very clean and neat.

87-91
The head coach of the Pacers, Vogel, was still standing on the sidelines with his arms crossed, very indifferent.

Because in his opinion, Su Tian's three-pointer was just accidental, and besides, we still have Ellis on the court, so it shouldn't be a problem to keep the point difference.

As if to verify what Vogel thought, after the transfer of the ball, Ellis came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Su Tian defended himself.

Facing Su Tian's defense, Ellis did not dare to be careless, and raised his vigilance to guard against Su Tian's steal.

Su Tian saw that the other party was so cautious, so he directly turned on the power and started the death coil.

Ellis couldn't get entangled by himself, and began to call his teammates for pick-and-roll cooperation. After the pick-and-roll, Ellis broke through with the ball.

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

To say that Ellis's speed is still not slow. Although he has suffered injuries, his speed is still impressive.

Su Tian failed to catch up with Ellis completely, followed by his side for defensive interference, and at the same time kept making steals with his hands.

The two entangled all the way to the basket, Ellis' speed was inevitably slowed down by the film, and Su Tian returned to the defensive position to block in front of Ellis.

Ellis didn't have a good ability to play the ball, so he collected the ball and took off to force a shot.

boom--

Unfortunately, the shot was interfered by Su Tian and the shot missed.

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

Su Tian got the ball and started to advance quickly, wanting to play a fast break.

Ellis could keep up with Su Tian's advancing speed, but without Su Tian's strength, he couldn't withstand Su Tian's impact.

Su Tian led Ellis all the way to the basket, as if it was a replica of just now, but the positions of the two were reversed.

Su Tian's physical confrontation was stronger than Ellis's, and he made a layup with a European step, and the basketball was easily hit.

89-91
In the blink of an eye, there were only 2 points left.

The ball was given to the Pacers again, and Ellis held the ball to reorganize the offense.

This time, Ellis didn't try to open the gap from Su Tian, ​​but passed the ball to Hill, and opened up space for himself to go to the bottom corner.

Hill organized the offense with the ball, and Dellavedova also defended desperately, but there was obviously a gap between Su Tian's defensive ability, and Hill still caught the opportunity.

Hill finally passed the ball to Turner, who made an empty cut, and Turner made a layup.

89-93
