NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 176 Explosive Offensive Output

Su Tian's consecutive goals made the Eagles unable to parry.Even calling a timeout did not affect Su Tian's offensive state.

So in the next few rounds, the Eagles began to double-team and defend Su Tian, ​​chasing and intercepting Su Tian.

But in this way, Su Tian's pass assist ability came in handy again. After two consecutive pass assists, the Eagles also completely calmed down and stopped double-teaming Su Tian.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Tyronn Lue called a timeout. At this time, the point difference had reached 15 points. Tyronn Lue replaced all the main lineup, ready to wipe out the Eagles.

As a result, the Eagles failed to persist until the end, and directly surrendered.

It was not easy for Tyronn Lue to kill them all, and replaced all the main players in time.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Eagles 110-93 and successfully won the second round to the first game.

The fans at the scene were also excited to celebrate. So far, the Cavaliers have not lost in the playoffs. Even if they are as strong as the Warriors this season, they lost a game to the Rockets in the first round.

In this game, Su Tian scored 23 points, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He still ranked first in assists and second in scoring.

On the second day after the end of the game, Su Tian went home to watch the first series between the Heat and the Raptors after finishing the team training.

According to Su Tian's memory, the Cavaliers should face the Raptors in the Eastern Conference finals this season, but Su Tian felt hard to say when he watched the game scene on TV.

At the end of the first three quarters, the Heat still had a 5-point lead. In the fourth quarter, the Raptors chased points frantically, and the Raptors really caught up.

But in the end the two teams tied and entered overtime. Dragic performed well in overtime and cooperated closely with Wade.

The final game was also won by the Heat, 102-96, winning the Raptors by 6 points in overtime.

Seeing the Heat win the first game of the playoffs, Su Tian was also heartbroken. Su Tian was not afraid of the Heat. After all, with the current strength of the Cavaliers, there is no opponent in the Eastern Conference.

But there is in the West, and Su Tian is also worried about the West, because if the historical process is not followed, the finals may not necessarily be against the Warriors. You must know that the Warriors and the Thunder fought in 7 games in the Western Conference Finals.

Not only that, but the Warriors fell behind 1-3 in the first four games and won the series after pulling three games in a row.

But whether it is against the Warriors or the Thunder, it is not an easy team to play. If it weren't for the Warriors' injuries and Green's suspension in the finals, they might not be able to win the championship.

Su Tian shook his head, temporarily put these thoughts behind him, let's talk about it after passing the eagle level first.

On May 5, the second game of the series between the Cavaliers and the Eagles started on time at Quicken Loans Arena.

Unlike the previous game, the Cavaliers showed a strong offensive ability at the beginning of the game.

In the first quarter, Tyronn Lue directly adopted the double-arrow tactics of Irving and James, and the task of team organization fell on Su Tian.

The impact of the two in turn also caused great trouble for the Eagles, and the Cavaliers easily gained the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Eagles by 35 points 20-15.

The Cavaliers' offensive firepower can be seen at a glance, and it was so explosive from the beginning.

In the second quarter, Irving took a break off the court, and Su Tian continued to take on the important task of the organizer.

Although Irving took a rest, the Cavaliers' offensive firepower did not weaken, because Su Tian ensured that James delivered ammunition, and at the same time activated Love and others' three-point long-range strikes.

In the second quarter, Love made 3 of 2 three-pointers and Dellavedova made 2 of 1 three-pointers, which provided great help to James.

But this also makes the Eagles' defeat obviously more certain.

At the end of the second quarter, the score had come to 74-38, leading the Eagles by 36 points at halftime.

You must know that the Eagles are not a team that is good at offense. Faced with such a huge point difference, the Eagles' defeat is already set.

Even the ESPN commentator shouted "game over! game over!!"

The Cavaliers fans at the scene even played the human wave game, quite like opening champagne at halftime.

But no matter how noisy and excited it was outside, the Cavaliers' locker room seemed very calm. Everyone just gave simple encouragement, and then seized the time to recover their physical strength and prepare for the second half.

Tyronn Lue was very relieved to see everyone so calm.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, Tyronn Lue arranged for Owen to lead the team to play, and Su Tian, ​​James and Love all rested on the bench.

Before playing, Tyronn Lue deliberately found Owen, "Kyrie, we have a point difference advantage, so don't worry, take your time to suppress the rhythm, and maintaining the point difference is victory."

Owen looked at Tyronn Lue and nodded. Although Owen also wanted to go up for a while, the team's victory is more important at this stage.

So Irving went uncharacteristically and led the Cavaliers to play in style, with the temperament of the team boss.

Under Owen's deliberate control, the Cavaliers' rhythm has not been chaotic and maintained a stable state.

The Eagles have been thinking about picking up the rhythm and chasing points quickly, but things backfired and failed to do so.

Soon the third quarter ended, when the score came to 106-70, the Cavaliers still maintained a 36-point advantage.

Looking at the high score of the Cavaliers, one can see how fierce the Cavaliers' offensive firepower was in the first three quarters, and even Su Tian's assists in the first three quarters were in double figures.

In the fourth quarter, Tylen Lue started a large-scale rotation, sending Mo Williams, Su Tian, ​​Shumpert, Frye, and Mozgov. Only one Su Tian was kept in the starting lineup.

The Eagles didn't dare to make a complete appointment, but the idea of ​​directly surrendering was clearly revealed.Only one Millsap was kept on the scene.

As soon as Su Tian came up, he called the pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to directly shoot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian's three-pointer was crisp and neat.

Of course, Su Tian didn't want to kill them all, but wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get more points. In the first three quarters, he had been focusing on assisting his teammates, but he didn't get many points.

Turning around, the Eagles also made a three-pointer, which also hit.

But at this time, no one cares about the eagle's score, because the eagle will lose no matter what, everyone just wants to see how many points the Cavaliers can win in the end, maybe they will go to 58.

Su Tian received the ball, called the pick-and-roll again, and still shot a three-pointer.

But this time Su Tian was a little anxious. The Eagle clearly judged his intentions and was seriously disturbed, so he played basketball and the Eagle got the rebound.

Schroeder advanced with the ball and came to the frontcourt to find three-point opportunities for his teammates. After all, there are too many points. If possible, there must be three-point opportunities.

The basketball passed back and forth, and finally gave Sapo Sofoloza a three-pointer, and the three-pointer was lucky again.

Budenholzer's eyes lit up, have a chance?
But turning around, Su Tian made a mid-range emergency stop jumper after the pick-and-roll, completely extinguishing Budenholzer's hopes.

So what if the eagle can get in?Knights can too.

In the next few rounds, the two sides went back and forth, but the point difference never changed much.

So Budenholzer called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and took the bench.

The same is true for Tyronn Lue. After all, they all work in the alliance, so it's not good to really kill them all.

At the end of the game, the Eagles failed to recover a few points, and the Cavaliers easily defeated the Eagles 123-98.

Su Tian didn't score many points in this game. He scored 15 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, but the number of assists was still the highest in the game.

The highest score in the game was James, who scored 27 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. He only played 28 minutes and performed strongly.

欧文也不差，全场拿下19分6助攻2篮板1抢断，三分球5中4，效率颇高。

After winning this game, the Cavaliers also led the Eagles 2-0 with a big score and took advantage.

The super offensive ability shown by the Cavaliers in this game made other teams feel uneasy, especially the Warriors.

But now Cole doesn't have much energy to care about the Cavaliers, because the injury problems in the team have made him burnt out.

On the second day after the game ended, on May 5, the Cavaliers came to Atlanta. Su Tian watched the game between the Heat and the Raptors at the hotel.

It can be said that the two sides are fighting like a raging fire, and the war is heating up.

At the beginning of the game, the Raptors took advantage of the home court to make a preemptive strike, leading the Heat by 10 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Heat began to adjust their status and recovered the 3-point difference.

In the third quarter, the Heat continued to exert force and directly overtook the score, leading the Raptors by 2 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Raptors rallied to catch up. At the critical moment, Carroll tied with a three-pointer. The Heat failed in the lore, and the two sides entered overtime.

Su Tian was speechless watching in front of the TV. The two teams played two games, and both games ended in overtime. Moreover, both teams advanced through a tiebreaker.

I have to admit that no matter who they face in the next round, the Cavaliers will have a physical advantage.

Soon, overtime began, and both sides were playing iron in the first few rounds, obviously both were affected by physical factors.

At the critical moment, Valanciunas of the Raptors made a contribution and scored at the basket, taking the lead.

The Heat also hope that someone can stand up, but there is no way, everyone's physical strength is exhausted.

In the end, the Raptors won the game 96-92 with difficulty.

The offensive efficiency of both sides of this game is particularly low. The Heat's Wade's shooting percentage is just over 36.4%, and Joe Johnson's shooting percentage is only [-]%.

For the Raptors, DeRozan only hit 37.5% and Lowry hit 31.8%.

If it weren't for someone from the Raptors' side to stand up at the critical moment, it is estimated that the Raptors would have been cold.

But if you win, you win, and if you are lucky, you win. There is no way.

Immediately afterwards, the next day, on May 5, the third battle between the Eagles and the Cavaliers started.

The Cavaliers are still using the old starting lineup, and there is no need for the Cavaliers' dominant side to take the initiative to change.

The Eagles have changed their lineup, taking Korver and Thabo Sofolosha, a player who was selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team in the 09-10 season.

But the offensive ability is too weak, and the scoring average per game has not been in double figures. The highest scoring average per game was in the Thunder's 12-13 season, averaging 7.6 points per game.

And this wave of adjustments by the Eagles is also adjusted to deal with James. After all, Sofolosha is a little harder than Korver.

Soon, the game started and Thompson grabbed the initiative.

Irving received the ball and advanced with the ball, came to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to James.

James did not rush to attack, but started with three threats, trying to explore Flossa to the center of defense.

It seems that James also wants to probe the opponent's bottom.

James tried several fake moves in a row, but Sofolosha didn't move, so James began to call Love for pick-and-rolls.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, James directly started an explosive breakthrough, but did not completely throw off the opponent's defense. Sofoloza followed James closely, causing a certain amount of interference to James. Although the degree of interference was small, it gave Horford back. Opportunities to defend the basket.

The Eagles combined inside and outside, and used the strength of the whole team to defend James.

Seeing that Horford returned to the basket, James didn't fight hard, but passed the ball to Irving on the outside.

Irving just ran out of an open opportunity at this time, so he caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Irving's catching three-pointer hit directly, which sounded the alarm for the Eagles.

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

Jeff Teague pushed forward with the ball, and after coming to the frontcourt, he played a pick-and-roll with Millsap. He wanted to go straight to the basket, but Teague found that James and Su Tian were both relatively inside and double-teamed. Tendency, so he didn't dare to enter the penalty area rashly, and passed the ball to Horford in the low post.

At this time, Horford was standing closer to James, and James did not hesitate to double-team directly, which strongly interfered with Horford.

Horford had no choice but to pass the ball to Sofoloza who was emptied. Sofoloza did not dare to shoot rashly after receiving the ball, and passed the ball to Millsap again.

At this time, after several passes, the Eagles had lost the opportunity, so Millsap had no choice but to play Love singles with the ball. Fortunately, the ball was lucky enough to go into the net, and the Eagles did not lose.

3-2
The ball was given to the Cavaliers, and Owen continued to advance with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt this time, Irving still passed the ball to James. After all, James has an obvious advantage.

James got the ball and called for a pick-and-roll in the same way. With the help of the pick-and-roll, he went straight to the basket and encountered Horford's help defense again.

The Eagles still double-teamed James as if they did not accept their fate.

In fact, the Eagles are also very helpless. They can get a layup without double-teaming James, and double-teaming James can pass the ball. There is always a choice between two cups of poison.

In contrast, it is better to double-team.

So James took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Thompson who was emptied.

Thompson received the ball and shot from close range, and the basketball bounced into the net.

5-2
The possession of the ball was switched again, and Teague advanced with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, he was still looking for teammates to cooperate. After several passes, the ball was given to Horford at the basket. With his back against Thompson's defense, Horford made a direct hook shot.

Swah——

The basketball hit, and the Hawks came up in a good state.

Then the two sides began to enter the normal offensive and defensive stage, but this time the Eagles' offense did not misfire, barely keeping up with the Cavaliers' offensive firepower, not as weak as the previous game.

Soon the first quarter ended, the score came to 31-28, and the Cavaliers temporarily led by 3 points.

During the intermission, in the Eagles locker room, Budenholzer was constantly boosting morale, trying to inspire the players' passion.

After all, the Cavaliers have already led 2-0. If they lose this game, there is basically no hope.

Only after winning this game will there be more fights in the future.
