NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 184 Su Tian Injured
The state of the Raptors in the third quarter was too explosive, and Tyronn Lue was a little at a loss. Fortunately, the score did not overtake too much. Taking advantage of the inter-section break, Tyronn Lue can still arrange tactics with a steady mind.

Of course, the Raptors' explosion in the third quarter was not without cost.

Lowry, DeRozan, and Biyombo were all sitting on the bench panting, exhausted.

But if you look closely, you will find that although the bodies of the three of them are tired, there is no feeling of fatigue in their eyes, but excitement.

Obviously the Raptors also know that once the game is won by the Cavaliers and the big score reaches 3-0, the Raptors will completely lose the chance to win.

As long as this game can be won and the big score reaches 2-1, there is still time for everything.

Therefore, although the Raptors are physically exhausted, they are particularly excited.

During the intermission, Tyronn Lue adjusted the lineup again, sending Irving, Su Tian, ​​Richard Jefferson, Love, and Thompson.

James has consumed too much, and he can't play immediately, so he has to rest for a few minutes.

The Raptors seem to be desperate, Lowry, Biyombo and DeRozan continue to appear.

Soon the intermission is over and the fourth quarter begins.

The first ball was given to the Raptors. Lowry came to the frontcourt with the ball, looked at DeRozan being followed by Su Tian, ​​and looked at Irving in front of him, and decided to open the gap from Irving.

So Lowry began to call the pick-and-roll, and directly opened the breakthrough with the help of the pick-and-roll.

Owen was still physically strong, turned around to catch up with Lowry, and followed Lowry to assist in the defense.

At this time, Lowry's physical strength was too much, and he could only barely fight against Owen, and he could no longer push Owen away like he did at the beginning of the game.

The two fought all the way to the basket, and Thompson returned to the basket to help defend.

Seeing Thompson coming to help defend, Lowry didn't dare to force a shot, but passed the ball to Biyombo who was emptied.

Biyombo received the ball and shot directly from close range.

bang - swish -

Biyombo continued to play the role of a surprise soldier. The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

75-79
The ball is switched, and it's the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Owen came to the front court with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Compared with Owen, Su Tian still has more physical strength.

Su Tian got the ball and faced DeRozan. He didn't rush to attack. First, he made a three-threat test. DeRozan's defensive center of gravity moved back and forth with Su Tian's test.

Seeing that the timing was almost the same, Love came up to the pick-and-roll in time, and Su Tian directly broke through at the moment the pick-and-roll formed.

With an explosive breakthrough, he was two steps away from DeRozan, and when he came to the middle distance, he stopped and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Su Tian hit two points steadily.

77-79
The possession of the ball was switched again, and Lowry advanced with the ball.

Lowry's physical exhaustion is almost the same. After coming to the frontcourt, he didn't rush to attack, but waited for DeRozan to move, preparing for DeRozan to end the offense.

But Su Tian followed too closely and could not find a suitable opportunity.

Lowry saw that the time was coming, so he had to call Biyombo to pick and roll, and with the help of the pick and roll, he came out and shot a three-pointer directly.

Owen quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and rushed up in time.

boom--

Lowry hit the iron with a three-pointer and Love grabbed a rebound.

Seeing that Love grabbed the rebound, Su Tian and Owen immediately started a fast break, and Love directly made a long pass, which was accurately delivered to Su Tian.

Su Tian received the ball and went straight to the basket, and DeRozan hurriedly followed Su Tian reluctantly.

Seeing that DeRozan has been chasing after him, Su Tian passed the ball directly to Irving, and Irving got the ball and made a quick layup.

79-79
The two teams drew.

The next few rounds fully proved the toughness of the Raptors. Even Su Tian was surprised that this kind of toughness was actually possessed by the Raptors.

If Su Tian came to the current Cavaliers, the bad side is that the Cavaliers are too strong, so that they lack some evenly matched confrontations and a lack of resilience.

Although there were also failures in the regular season, those were either the opponent's hand feeling broke out, or the Cavaliers' own hand feeling was abnormally cold as a whole, and they were not crimes of war.

This caused the Cavaliers to lack a sense of tenacity, and did not fight the opponent to the point where they ran out of ammunition and food.

After half a quarter, the Cavaliers were 89-87, only leading the Raptors by 2 points.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout, ready to replace James to reap the game.

Casey didn't have any special arrangements here, but let the main players rest and recover quickly, and arranged for Carroll to play against James by the way.

In this game, the Raptors only used 7 people to rotate, which made the main players very tired.

Soon the timeout ends and the game continues.

James returned to the court and played an obvious role. He hit Carroll with the first ball, successfully broke through the defense and entered the basket, pushed through Biyombo's help defense, and forced a layup.

91-87
Seeing James, Su Tian understood that the Cavaliers really don't need the so-called tenacity. With James around, only James can decide the key ball, and no one can take it away.

As long as James can maintain his form, the Cavaliers' tenacity will be there.As for whether James shoots himself or passes the ball to assist his teammates, it depends on James' own choice.

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

Lowry came to the front court with the ball, looked at the state of the court, and had to come by himself.

DeRozan was locked up by Su Tian, ​​and Carroll is definitely not James' opponent. At this time, it is Lowry who can contribute to the offensive end.

But Lowry was exhausting too much energy at this time, and he couldn't guarantee that he could eat Irving by himself, so he called his teammates for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Lowry gritted his teeth and broke through directly, breaking through from the right side and entering the basket.

Owen quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and followed Lowry, and the two had a fierce physical confrontation.

Fighting all the way to the basket, Thompson came to help defend, Lowry forced a shot, was interfered by Thompson's help defense, and shot hard.

Thompson turned around, got the rebound, and passed the ball directly to James.

James got the basketball, started to explode and rushed to the basket, Su Tian and Irving also sprinted forward together.

Facing the Cavaliers' three-man fast-break lineup, the Raptors didn't know who to go with. As soon as Su Tian's three-man formation unfolded, they went all three ways. James passed the ball to Su Tian, ​​Su Tian passed the ball to Owen, and Owen passed the ball. Catch the ball and make a layup.

93-87
The Raptors lost their energy and their physical strength was exhausted, and the Raptors' hope of victory became increasingly slim.

In the end, after a while of grinding by the Cavaliers, the Raptors were finally defeated.

The Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 102-95 and successfully won the third victory of this round of the series.

As soon as the game ended, Lowry and DeRozan almost fell down from exhaustion, supporting each other and returning to the bench.

In this battle, although the Raptors still lost, the toughness shown to the fans deserves a standing tribute from all fans.

DeRozan played a total of 41 minutes and scored 20 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds.

Lowry played 40 minutes and scored 30 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds.

比永博上场39分钟，拿到9分26篮板1助攻4盖帽，完美扮演了第三节的奇兵角色，一共拿到8个前场篮板。

Although the Raptors have tried their best to give everything, they still haven't stopped the Cavaliers' overflowing offensive firepower.

詹姆斯24分8篮板5助攻2抢断，欧文13分4篮板1助攻，苏天21分9助攻4篮板2抢断。

It is recognized that the Raptors' paper strength is inferior to the Cavaliers, and it is already amazing to be able to hit this level.

Even the reports after the game were all about the Raptors' two brothers doing their best.

After this game, Su Tian also changed his stereotype of the Raptors, and quietly erased the name "Trash Brother" from his heart.

After the game against the Raptors, Su Tian was also very tired. After cleaning up, he followed the team back to the hotel to rest, and fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

The next day, May 5, Game 22 of the Western Conference Finals started in Oklahoma.

The big score between the two teams was a 1-1 tie before. Whoever can win this game will get the initiative.

As soon as the game started, the Thunder took the lead and made the first move.

Westbrook's shooting percentage has also returned to normal, and there is more cooperation with Durant.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder 34-28, leading the Warriors by 6 points.

In the second quarter, the Thunder continued to exert force, but the Warriors' offense suddenly stagnated, and the score was suddenly pulled away.

At the end of the first half, the score had come to 72-47, and the Thunder directly led the Warriors by 25 points at halftime.

Although this point difference is not small, for the Warriors, there is still a possibility of a comeback.

In the third quarter, the most dangerous time period for the Warriors, the Warriors' offense finally seemed to be unshackled and started a crazy attack.

However, although the Warriors played an offensive, the Thunder played an even more explosive offense!
The two teams scored 45-33 in a single quarter, and the fans were very excited to see the crazy offensive frenzy. The Thunder led the Warriors by 12 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 117-80, and the Thunder led the Warriors by 37 points.

This time, the warrior's death sentence was completely sentenced.

The Warriors made another symbolic resistance in the fourth quarter, but finally chose to give up.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Warriors 133-105 and won the third game of the series. The big score came to 2-1, and the Thunder won the home court advantage.

杜兰特全场拿到33分2助攻8篮板3盖帽，威斯布鲁克拿到30分12助攻8篮板2抢断，命中率不低，足有52.6%。

Although the offense in this game looks very cool, it is obviously not as exciting as yesterday's Raptors.

The Cavaliers stayed in Toronto for regular training, waiting for the start of the fourth game.

When the Cavaliers were conducting a tactical coordination training, when Su Tian shot the ball and fell to the ground, Dellavedova who was defending Su Tian did not recover in time, and Su Tian fell directly on Dellavedova's feet. At the same time, Su Tian directly fell to the ground.

Seeing Su Tian hugging his ankle with a painful expression on his face, Delavedova panicked, "Su, don't mess with me, Su!"

Seeing this, other people quickly gathered to check the situation.

Tyronn Lue had a nervous expression on his face, "Su, how about it, it doesn't matter! Team doctor! Team doctor, come and see!"

Tyronn Lue greeted the team doctor while asking about Su Tian's condition.

James also looked worried, standing beside Su Tian, ​​watching the team doctor check the ankle injury.

"How about doctor, is the situation serious?"

"Fortunately, there is no bone injury so far. The specific situation will not be known until after the inspection, but I will definitely not be able to compete in tomorrow's game."

Dellavedova was about to cry with guilt all over his face, "Su, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry brother, I didn't mean it."

"What are you talking about, Matthew, I don't blame you, but brother, this time you will take my part to play, I hope you can make up for my vacancy." Su Tian said with a relaxed face.

"Okay, Sue! Don't worry, I'll take your share too!"

Immediately afterwards, Su Tian was pushed out by the team doctor's wheelchair, behind him were the Cavaliers with worried expressions on their faces.

Seeing that everyone was in a bad state, Tyronn Lue quickly boosted morale, "Guys, the team doctor will be responsible for Su's injury. What we have to do now is to take down the Raptors as soon as possible. This is our task."

Upon seeing this, James also echoed: "Yes, brothers, let us take Su's share and win the Raptors!"

After a speech of encouragement, the atmosphere of the Cavaliers barely returned to normal, but Tyronn Lue just returned to the office area, and his face became gloomy again.

Now the Cavaliers not only have Su Tian's sudden situation, but some veterans are also starting to have physical problems.

Mozgov and Mo Williams all need varying degrees of rest, and Tylen Lue is running out of cards.

Now that Su Tian is injured and retired, he can only let jr Smith start on top, so that the depth of the bench will be further weakened.

The only ones who can play on the bench are Dellavedova, Shumpert, Richard Jefferson, and Frye.

At the same time, the life of the Raptors is even more difficult. The big score has reached 3-0. One wrong step will result in a direct exit.

Moreover, the 3-0 score has seriously affected the morale of the team, and Casey is thinking about how to boost the morale of the team.

Just when Casey was in a dilemma, a man who looked like a teaching assistant came to Casey's side, leaned down and whispered a word.

Casey's expression was like riding a roller coaster, first surprised, then ecstatic, and finally a little questioning, "Are you sure!?"

"determine."

"Okay, I see, you go out first."

Casey was very excited inside, but did not show it, and walked out of the office to summon the players who were training.

Seeing the Raptors looking dejected and lacking in fighting spirit, Casey thought to himself, this news came at the right time.

"Guys, I know some of you have even thought about where you're going to go on vacation, but I'm glad to tell you that God gave us another chance."

As he spoke, Casey showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Everyone in the Raptors team was very puzzled when they heard the coach say such words. It is obvious that the death penalty is only about to be pronounced, so where is the chance?
"I just received the news that Su Tian, ​​the main guard of the Cavaliers, was pushed out of the training field in a wheelchair, and his ankle was covered with protective gear. It is preliminarily speculated that Su Tian has a sprained ankle and will not be able to play in the next game!"

"Ah!? Is this true, coach!"

"Coach, are you sure!"

"It's definitely Su Tian! Isn't it a substitute?"

Seeing everyone's sudden excitement, Casey smiled slightly, "That's right! It's Su Tian!"
