NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 181

Seeing that DeRozan was pressing harder, Su Tian didn't act rashly. After securing the ball, he called Love for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian made a breakthrough, and DeRozan bypassed the pick-and-roll and turned to chase Su Tian.

Without the blessing of the King of the Last Quarter, it would be difficult for Su Tian to get rid of DeRozan's entanglement, but fortunately, Su Tian's teammates are much stronger than DeRozan's teammates.

Su Tian passed the ball directly on the move and gave it to James who was making an air cut.

James received the ball directly against the interference of the Raptors inside and made a layup.

35-28
While retreating, Su Tian looked at DeRozan with a half-smile.

How about it, be silly, I have James here!There's no need to confront you head-on.

Although DeRozan is very depressed, there is nothing he can do. After all, DeRozan is already the head of the Raptors and needs to take his own responsibilities.

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

After the ball came to the front court, it was still given to DeRozan. This time DeRozan actively cooperated with his teammates, hoping to use the strength of his teammates.

After a while of tactical cooperation, the ball was passed to Carroll in the bottom corner, and Carroll caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Although the shot was decisive, it was seriously interfered by James, and he shot hard.

Love turned around and took the rebound, the old rules, and rushed.

Su Tian and James started sprinting from left to right. Love made a long pass and gave it directly to Su Tian. Su Tian didn't stop when he received the ball.

James received the ball and directly smashed and dunked.

37-28
Not long after the start of the second quarter, the point difference went to double digits in a blink of an eye.

When it was the Raptors' turn to attack again, DeRozan had to stabilize his rhythm to avoid being completely controlled by the Cavaliers.

But the momentum of the knight has already risen, and it is not so easy to suppress it.

Soon after a few rounds, the point difference came to 12 points.

Tyronn Lue saw that the time was about the same, called a timeout, replaced James to rest, and replaced Richard Jefferson.

The Raptors are not reconciled to being pulled away by so many points, but the reality cannot be shifted by will, so they can only rotate, replace DeRozan to rest, and replace Lowry to lead the team.

The game continued, Su Tian held the ball in the backcourt and pushed forward. After coming to the frontcourt, he directly called Love for a pick-and-roll.

After James is off the court, Love is Su Tian's best helper on the court. How to make good use of the cooperation between the two is also an extremely critical issue.

Su Tian started to break through with the help of the pick-and-roll, and Love also quickly bounced to the three-point line.

But it is obvious that Su Tian, ​​who holds the ball, has a bigger goal and attracts more attention. He successfully attracted the Raptors' double-team, so he passed the ball to Love outside the three-point line.

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

Swah——

Love made a direct three-pointer.

The possession of the ball was converted, and Lowry advanced with the ball.

The next round is crucial. Whether Su Tian and Love withstand the pressure or Lowry leads the team to catch up with the score depends on the next round.

After Lowry came to the frontcourt, he was not in a hurry to attack, but waited for his teammates to move, and then cooperated with Diamond Scola in a pick-and-roll.

Dellavedova is also physically strong, but the impact on Lowry is still a bit reluctant, and he just followed Lowry's side for defensive interference.

The two fought all the way to the basket. Lowry was about to force a layup against Dellavedova, and Mozgov on the inside returned to the basket to assist in interference.

Lowry rolled his hands and passed the ball to Scola behind him.

It turns out that Lowry's so determined impact to the basket is also to attract attention and create room for Scola to shoot.

This is similar to Su Tian's choice in the previous round, but the difference is that Love has a better three-point range and shoots from outside the three-point line.

Scola doesn't have such a good three-point ability, so he can only follow up two steps forward and then take a long two-point shot.

And it was these two follow-up steps that caused the final result to be very different from Love.

Scola's shot was closer, which made it easier for Love's defense to interfere, so basketball hit the iron.

Mozgov turned around and took the rebound, and quickly passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and turned around to hold the ball and started sprinting. He wanted to play a fast break, but was interfered by the Raptors. The fast break failed, so Su Tian stabilized his rhythm and waited for his teammates to take their positions.

Seeing the round in which the Cavaliers successfully defended against the Raptors, Tyronn Lue also breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bench safely.

The next few rounds also confirmed Tylen Lue's opinion. Although Lowry led the team with certain strength, it couldn't stop Su Tian and Love from cooperating.

Soon, at the end of the second quarter, the score came to 66-44, and the Cavaliers led the Raptors by 22 points at halftime.

During the intermission, Tyronn Lue made another arrangement, and Irving and James played directly, trying to defeat the Raptors in one fell swoop in the third quarter.

Then, after gaining a large score advantage, Su Tian and Love slowly grinded with the substitutes in the fourth quarter, and they won the game if they lasted until the end of the game.

Soon the third quarter began, the Cavaliers wanted to exert force in the third quarter, and the Raptors thought so too, directly dispatching the full lineup in the third quarter.

Looking at the Raptors' full lineup, James was slightly worried, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, James is also a person who is very confident in his own strength.

So the third quarter began, and the first ball was given to the Raptors.

Lowry held the ball across half court and gave the ball directly to DeRozan after coming to the frontcourt.

At this time, it was jr Smith who was facing DeRozan. In contrast, DeRozan's side was more confident.

DeRozan got the ball against jr's defense, and with the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll, he directly started a breakthrough, rushed to the basket and then used a small lever to avoid Mozgov, who was assisting in the defense, and scored a layup.

66-46
Seeing that DeRozan was able to make a successful hit, Casey breathed a sigh of relief. In the first half, DeRozan was locked up by Su Tian. Casey was afraid that it would affect DeRozan's performance in the second half.

But it turns out that DeRozan is still relatively capable and can adjust himself.

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

Irving advanced with the ball. After coming to the frontcourt, Irving wanted to attack first, so he called Thompson for a pick-and-roll, and with the help of the pick-and-roll, Irving rushed to the basket with the ball.

Although Irving does not have Lowry's strong body, he is more flexible and faster than Lowry.

Irving came to the basket one step ahead of Lowry, and Biyombo returned to the basket. Faced with Biyombo's help defense interference, Irving was not afraid, collected the ball and took off, and shot with a lever.

bang - swish -

The basketball hits the backboard and bounces into the net.

68-46
Although the Raptors can score goals, the Cavaliers can still do it, and they are even more confident. If there are no surprise soldiers, the Raptors will almost explain this game.

In the next few rounds, both sides played back and forth. Although the Raptors were not as powerful as the Cavaliers' offensive firepower, they were still maintaining their own output.

Soon the third quarter ended, the score at this time came to 93-67, and the point difference came to 26 points. Lowry and DeRozan sat on the court, gasping for breath while lowering their heads, as if they had done something wrong in repentance.

On the Cavaliers side, the atmosphere was more relaxed and happy, and Tyronn Lue arranged tactics calmly.

The lineup has also been adjusted, sending Dellavedova, Su Tian, ​​Shumpert, Frye, and Love.

Although the inside defense of this lineup is not very good, but the offensive ability is dominant, and with Su Tian around, Tyronn Lue is not in a hurry.

Intersection ends and the fourth quarter begins.

The Raptors are not as leisurely as the Cavaliers, and they don't have much chance to rest. Lowry and DeRozan continue to play.

The first ball was given to the Cavaliers, Dellavedova held the ball forward, and passed the ball directly to Su Tian after coming to the frontcourt.

Su Tian got the ball and didn't entangle DeRozan, but called Love for a pick-and-roll. Because he was afraid of Love's range, Biyombo, who was defending Love, had to follow him.

As a result, the Raptors' inside line became extremely empty. Su Tian rushed directly to the basket with the ball. DeRozan bypassed the pick-and-roll and failed to catch up in time. Su Tian directly made a layup.

95-67
The ball is switched, and it's the Raptors' turn to attack.

The Raptors don't have much time to waste, so they can only serve quickly and speed up the offensive rhythm to chase points.

Lowry came to the frontcourt with the ball and did not stay. He directly cooperated with Scola and used the pick-and-roll to break through.

The momentum of Lowry's breakthrough is also very strong. The insider Love can only stand in the position under the basket in advance, waiting for Lowry's impact, but Lowry immediately stopped and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Lowry made a two-pointer.

95-69
The ball was given to the Cavaliers again. Unlike the Raptors, Su Tian received the ball in the backcourt and slowly advanced to the frontcourt.

Seeing Su Tian's slow look, DeRozan couldn't get angry, but he didn't dare to rush forward too fiercely, fearing that Su Tian would step over him.

Su Tian, ​​who came to the frontcourt, was also not in a hurry to attack, but wasting time by pressing the rhythm.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he raised his hand and called for Love to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian made another breakthrough. This time, Biyombo did not go out with Love, but stayed in the middle distance, waiting for Su Tian's impact.

DeRozan also quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll to chase Su Tian.

Su Tian saw that the Raptors were so strict with his defense, they were attacking back and forth, so he passed the ball directly to Love, who bounced outside to the three-point line.

Love received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly. Every time he received the ball from Su Tian, ​​Love felt very comfortable and could shoot directly without adjustment.

Swah——

Love made a direct three-pointer.

98-69
Biyombo regretted seeing Love's goal, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, the point difference had reached 29 points, and he was about to go to 30 points. If there is no miracle for the Raptors, they can surrender .

Lowry obviously knew this too, so after coming to the frontcourt with the ball, he used the pick-and-roll to make a direct three-pointer.

But unfortunately, the miracle did not happen to the Raptors tonight.

Basketball hit the iron and was grabbed by Love for a rebound.

In the next few rounds, Lowry was still dying, but DeRozan was basically in a state of half giving up. The Raptors were completely hopeless in this game.

Casey called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and accepted the loss of the first game.

Tyronn Lue also followed suit, replacing the main lineup and putting on the bench.

At the end of the game, the miracle did not appear. The Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 123-90 and successfully won the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The atmosphere of the Cavaliers after the game was also very relaxed. Although everyone was very confident in themselves before the game, they obviously did not expect such a big victory with such a huge point difference.

Su Tian also looked pitifully at Lowry and DeRozan who were comforting each other. It was not easy for these two brothers, but their journey to resist Zhan had just begun.

As long as James is still in the East, it will be difficult for the combination of Lowry and DeRozan to stand on the stage of the finals.

At least, that's true for James in the East for a few years.

In this game, James once again scored the highest score of the game, 27 points, while scoring 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal.

Su Tian also performed brilliantly, scoring 24 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, ranking second in scoring and first in assists.

If we talk about Su Tian's rise, who will suffer the most, it is actually Owen.

However, when Owen and Su Tian were present at the same time, Su Tian always focused on Owen and took the initiative to play for Owen, and Owen was really embarrassed to shame Su Tian.

However, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the fundamental contradiction has not been resolved, and sooner or later there will still be problems.

The second day after the end of the first game in the Eastern Conference, the second game of the Western Conference Finals also started.

The first game of the Western Conference Finals was won by the Thunder, and the entire Warriors team tried their best to win a round.

The Warriors went all out in the first quarter, Curry and Thompson made efforts one after another, and even Green hit a three-pointer.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Thunder by 27 points 20-7.

In the second quarter, the Thunder, who refused to admit defeat, rushed to catch up. Durant did not rest for a minute and stayed on the court.

But in this game, the Warriors were really in full swing, and they basically tied with the Thunder in the second quarter.

At the end of the first half, the score came to 57-49, and the Warriors still led the Thunder by 8 points.

During the intermission, Durant's serious expression could be clearly seen, and he returned to the locker room without saying a word.

Durant is not angry because of himself, yes, or because of Westbrook.

Westbrook's performance on the field was difficult to satisfy Durant. In the first half, he made 7 of 2 shots and 2 of 0 three-pointers. The efficiency was very low.

On the other hand, Durant made 9 of 5 shots and 2 of 1 three-pointers in the first half, which is quite efficient.

Soon the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

Durant is still on the court. Durant's playing time has not been low all the time, and his physical exertion is relatively serious.

Therefore, Durant's poor physical strength is not only his own problem, but the unreasonable playing time is also part of the reason.

In the third quarter, the Thunder wanted to overtake the score, so they took the initiative to speed up the offensive rhythm, but you must know that the third quarter is the time period when the Warriors are best at opening the score.

Lei Ting took the initiative to speed up the pace, but ruined himself instead.

So in the third quarter, the Warriors successfully played a wave, 31-19 in a single quarter, and the score directly led by 20 points.

In the fourth quarter, Durant wanted to struggle again, but physical problems began to appear, and he was forced to give the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook didn't refuse either, he just did it when he got the ball. How should I put it, he was very brave, but it didn't work.

So the Thunder was successfully beaten by the Warriors again, and they went away with a 30-point difference.

After a wave, there was not much time left in the fourth quarter, so Donovan had no choice but to call a timeout to replace the main players and accept the loss of the game.

Durant sat on the bench frowning, without saying a word, looking at the Warriors' bench.
