NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 171
Seeing the Pacers score, Vogel was also relieved.

As long as the Pacers' offense can proceed normally, the Cavaliers are not afraid of catching up.

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

Su Tian pushed forward with the ball himself, still a pick-and-roll, breakthrough, and passed the ball to Dellavedova in the bottom corner after encountering double-teaming this time.

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

boom--

The ball misses, and Mahinmi grabs the rebound and passes to Ellis.

Ellis quickly advances with the ball and plays a fast break.

Su Tian caught up with the delayed fast break in time, and the Pacers failed to start the fast break.

The offense fell into positional warfare again. This time Ellis still gave the ball to Hill, and opened up space to take away Su Tian's defense.

But this time the Pacers' offense failed, and Love grabbed the rebound.

The moment Love grabbed the rebound, Su Tian turned around and sprinted to the frontcourt.

Love made a long pass and accurately found Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and continued to rush to the basket with the ball. At this time, Su Tian was surrounded by Hill and Ellis, who defended Su Tian alone.

If there is James at this time, James can follow along with the fast break, then Su Tian will have more choices, but now he can only play hard or stop and wait for his teammates.

Su Tian gritted his teeth, resisted the defense of Hill and Ellis, came to the basket and forced a European step, first bypassed Hill's defense, then shook Ellis, and scored a layup.

91-93
The point difference returned to 2 points.

Su Tian felt the dawn of victory, which was just around the corner.

But at this moment, Vogel called a timeout.

After several consecutive rounds, Vogel can see it clearly, just because the current lineup is not the opponent of the Cavaliers, it still has to be the main force.

After returning from the timeout, the Pacers changed, and Paul George came on and changed back to the starting lineup.

The Cavaliers have also changed, taking Shumpert and replacing them with Richard Jefferson, which is to deal with Paul George.

The game continued, Hill received the ball and advanced.

After coming to the frontcourt, Hill passed the ball directly to George.

Facing Jefferson's defense, George broke out in one step after the three-threat test, pushing the defense and rushing to the inside.

Thompson hurriedly moved to the inside basket for double-teaming.

But George didn't rush to the basket, but made a jump shot after a sudden stop.

Swah——

After resting for a period of time, his physical strength is still relatively abundant, and George's shot directly hits.

91-95
Paul George contributed from the start.

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

Dellavedova came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed it to Su Tian.

Su Tian held the ball to face Ellis, and still chose to call Love for a pick-and-roll just to be safe.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian made a mid-range emergency stop jumper and made a steady hit.

93-95
In the next few rounds, the two teams maintained a point difference of one or two goals. Every time the Cavaliers scored, Paul George could respond.

Until the last 2 minutes of the game, the score came to 105-107, still a 2-point difference, but the Cavaliers had the ball.

Su Tian held the ball and slowly advanced to the frontcourt. The physical exertion of his teammates was obvious, and his shooting percentage dropped a lot.

At this critical moment, Su Tian can only trust himself.

Su Tian held the ball outside the three-point line and faced Hill's defense.

Su Tian's offense was too high, Hill and Ellis took turns to defend Su Tian.

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

Although the two took turns defending Su Tian, ​​they still consumed a lot of physical strength, and Hill couldn't keep up with the first step in time.

Seeing that Hill lost, George had no choice but to assist in the defense, but Su Tian found out in time before George could assist in the defense, so Su Tian directly made an emergency stop jump shot.

Swah——

With the effects of multiple badges superimposed, Su Tian made a quick stop and made a steady jump shot.

107-107
The two teams drew.

The ball was given to the Pacers again, Hill advanced with the ball, and passed the ball to George after coming to the frontcourt.

At this time, George was facing Richard Jefferson, a veteran who had been consumed a lot by George today and was panting for defense.

But the advantage of the veteran is that his mental attributes are full. Even though he is very tired now, he still has the energy to defend George.

George made three threats with the ball. While Jefferson was not paying attention, he gave his teammates a look. Mahinmi hurried over and made a pick-and-roll.

At the moment when Mahinmi completed the pick-and-roll, George directly broke through with the ball and rushed to the right.

Jefferson ran headfirst into Mahinmi's screen and couldn't catch up in time.

But Thompson's reaction was relatively quick. Although he didn't have time to remind Jefferson, he turned around and chased after George, and the two formed a passive defense.

Thompson followed George, interfering with George's breakthrough with the ball all the way, raising his hands and ready to block the shot.

The two came to the basket all the way, and George forced a layup against Thompson's defense.

boom--

drop--

The basketball didn't go in, but it caused Thompson's foul, and the referee blew his whistle.

The fans at the scene burst into cheers. At the critical moment of such a fierce game, the Pacers' star star rescued the team. This script is amazing.

But Thompson didn't think so, and kept explaining to the referee that he was a legal defensive action.

But the result could not be changed, and Thompson had no choice but to retreat.

George stood on the free throw line, took two deep breaths, and made the first free throw.

Swah——

The first was a solid hit, and George received another pass from the referee to start the second.

Swah——

Likewise, the second one also hits.

The fans at the scene burst into cheers again.

The score came to 107-109, and the Pacers temporarily led by 2 points, with one and a half minutes left.

Tyronn Lu thought for a while, and was about to raise his hand to call a timeout when Su Tian interrupted him. Seeing Su Tian's firm eyes, Tyronn Lu chose to believe in Su Tian.

The possession of the ball was switched, and Su Tian advanced with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Su Tian still chose to pick and roll, but this time the pick and roll was Thompson.

After the pick-and-roll was formed, Thompson quickly turned around and made an air cut. Thompson's movements were too large and obvious, which attracted the attention of Hill and Mahinmi.

Su Tian took this opportunity to shoot directly from outside the three-point line.

Swah——

Su Tian made a direct three-pointer.

110-109
The voices at the scene froze for an instant, and no one expected that Su Tian would have such a big heart at such a critical moment.

The ball was switched again and it was given to George, who advanced with the ball in the backcourt.

After coming to the frontcourt, facing Jefferson's defense, George directly took half a step back, came to a position one step away from the three-pointer, and directly shot a three-pointer.

bang—swish——

The basketball hits the board and goes into the basket!

With a bang, another deafening sound erupted at the scene, and Su Tian felt that his ears were about to lose the sound.

110-112, 1 minute left.

When Su Tian got the ball again, the time began to count down to the last minute.

Facing the 2-point difference, Su Tian was not in a hurry, and held the ball firmly to keep time.

With the last 14 seconds left in the offensive round, Su Tian began to call for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to break through quickly.

But this time, Hill seemed to have been prepared, and quickly retreated to follow Su Tian without being thrown off.

After all, the point difference is only 2 points, and most people will choose to break through to the basket to attack if there is still time.

But just when Hill thought he was right in his prediction and was about to go to the basket, Su Tian made a sudden stop and shot a mid-range jumper with a slight back.

boom--

Swah——

The ball hit the back edge of the rim and bounced into the net.

Su Tian breathed a sigh of relief, he was not very proficient in reclining, and there was an element of luck in this ball.

But fortunately, the goal was scored and the score came to a 112 tie.

Vogel couldn't bear it long ago, and raised his hand to call a timeout.

There are 40 seconds left in the time, which is only two rounds, and every ball must be treated with caution.

As for the Cavaliers, apart from the encouraging high-fives to Su Tian, ​​there was nothing special to arrange, so they emphasized the defense again.

After all, even Tyronn Lue didn't expect that the Cavaliers could reach this point. Whether the Cavaliers win or lose depends entirely on Su Tian's personal performance.

Soon the timeout ends and the game continues.

The Pacers served the ball, and Paul George stood outside the three-point line to stabilize the rhythm after receiving the ball. It seems that the Pacers wanted to press time to hit the success rate.

After seeing that the time was about the same, George called for a pick-and-roll and directly started a breakthrough and rushed to the basket. Jefferson didn't keep up with the defense in time, but he didn't give up chasing after him.

George quickly came to the basket and encountered Thompson's help defense, forced a layup, but was seriously interfered by Thompson.

boom--

Basketball hits the iron, and a bunch of people huddle together under the basket.

Thompson and Mahinmi stuck to each other and refused to give in to each other.

But in the end, neither of them jumped successfully, and George, who was still under the basket, got a rebound.

After the basketball was picked up by George, it flew towards the direction of the basket. At this time, no one on both sides dared to jump up at will, for fear of being judged to interfere with the ball.

Just as everyone was waiting for the basketball to pop up, the basketball re-drilled into the net with one shot.

Swah——

The basketball hits the net and the referee signals that the goal is valid.

112-114
Seeing this scene, the audience immediately boiled, and Paul George roared vigorously, showing his toughness.

At this time, the time was less than 24 seconds, and there was only 19 seconds left. Tyronn Lue raised his hand and called a timeout.

The players on the Cavaliers gathered around, waiting for Tyronn Lue's arrangement.

"Love, you come to the sideline to serve. The first choice is Su Tian, ​​and the second choice is Richard. If neither of them have a chance, don't worry, Dellavedova will come out to catch the ball."

"No matter who receives the ball, it must be given to Su Tian. Su, how to play this round is up to you. Don't be nervous. We have plenty of time."

After a while of arrangement by Tyronn Lue, the timeout ended and the game continued.

Love stood on the sidelines, took the ball from the referee and held it over his head.

The defender following Su Tian at this time was neither Ellis nor Hill, but Paul George.

Su Tian was strictly guarded and there was no suitable opportunity to catch the ball. Richard Jefferson ran out to catch the ball and the timer started to work.

Seeing that Jefferson successfully received the ball, Su Tian began to run quickly, and finally found a chance to catch the ball after using the cover continuously, and received the ball from Jefferson's hands.

As soon as Su Tian received the ball, there was less than a second in between, and the next moment George's defense shrouded him.

George's defense is very tough and excellent, which is why Vogel arranged for George to defend against Su Tian.

Seeing how tough George's defense was, Su Tian didn't panic. While pressing the time, he began to call Love to come over for the pick-and-roll.

The Cavaliers were behind by 2 points. George guessed that Su Tian wanted to bet three points, because the Cavaliers were no opponents at all because of their hard work.

But Vogel believes that the chance of a three-pointer is too small, and the Cavaliers may choose a safer two-pointer.

If you ask Su Tian what he thinks, Su Tian will say that the moment he saw George coming to defend him, he knew that this was a chance God gave him to act aggressively.

Love ran to the pick-and-roll, and Su Tian used the pick-and-roll to widen the distance and get a chance to make a shot, but Su Tian didn't make a shot rashly, but lowered his center of gravity and burst into the first step.

George's eyes shrank suddenly. He didn't expect Su Tian to choose two points, so he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and stepped back.

Just as George adjusted his center of gravity and retreated, Su Tian took a step back to the three-point line, and directly shot a three-pointer.

At this moment, George just raised his hands helplessly, because it was too late to jump forward again. Su Tian's breakthrough feint gave him ample space to make a move.

At this time, the audience turned their attention to the ball flying in the air and the timer nearing the end.

drop--

The timer sounds first, and the game time is over.

Swah——

Basketball into the net!Lore! ! !

The commentary booth was the first to explode, only to hear the commentator shout loudly, lore!This is a lore! !
Immediately after that was the Cavaliers' bench, and all the players on the bench ran towards Su Tian frantically, bumping their chests excitedly to celebrate.

Of course, the referee dutifully watched the replay to make sure that the ball did not time out.

Although the naked eye can already tell that the ball did not time out, when the referee announced that the goal was valid, the Pacers players and fans at the scene were still disappointed.

At this time, Su Tian was already drenched by the water from his teammates, and was standing on the sidelines accepting interviews from reporters.

Su Tian turned his head to look at Paul George who had gone back lonely, and couldn't help but feel amused in his heart. The attribute of the background board is too strong, it is simply a buff.

本场比赛苏天全场拿到43分12助攻6篮板2抢断1失误，投篮命中率55%，还成功命中最后的绝杀球，被评为本场最佳。

After the game against the Pacers, Su Tian broke away from the team and returned to Cleveland first. Because of the next away game against the Bulls, Su Tian was rested.

Love, who performed well in this game, was also rested with Su Tian.

Love scored a total of 20 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, making him the second best player on the Cavaliers.

On April 4, the Cavaliers came to Chicago to play against the Bulls. Su Tian and Love rested at home, and James and Irving returned.

James and Owen also watched yesterday's game and knew that Su Tian performed very well.

Both of them are full of enthusiasm. James is more confident in defending the title because he has seen the strength of the team, while Irving feels that he is no worse than Su Tian, ​​and he has to perform better than Su Tian.

In short, the two have the same emotions for different reasons, so both of them will go all out in this match.

Soon, the game started, and the Cavaliers placed Irving, jr Smith, Shumpert, James, and Thompson.

The Bulls lineup is Rose, Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Mirotic, Pau Gasol.

The Chicago Bulls are still on the verge of the playoffs, and every remaining game is crucial, and the battle between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out.
