NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 186
Only two rounds started in the fourth quarter, but the point difference has reached 14 points.

Tyronn Lue is also very anxious, but there is no good solution. We can only hope that the team's defensive tactics can limit the performance of the Raptors.

Soon the timeout ends and the game continues.

After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers had the ball, and Irving started to advance with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, he still gave the ball to James.

James got the ball to face Carroll, used Love's pick-and-roll to break through directly, and was double-teamed by the Raptors as soon as he broke into the penalty area.

James broke through and gave the ball to Irving in the bottom corner. Irving caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Swah——

Owen hit a three-pointer.

Irving and James cooperate with each other, and the lethality is still considerable.

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

Lowry came to the frontcourt with the ball and communicated with DeRozan with his eyes.

DeRozan began to run actively. After two consecutive screens, DeRozan suddenly changed direction and ran towards the basket. Lowry passed the ball quickly.

DeRozan received the ball and went straight to the layup, which was stopped by Thompson's foul. At the same time, the referee blew his whistle.

DeRozan, who fell to the ground, did not stand up immediately, but lay on the ground and slowed down before being pulled up by his teammates.

DeRozan came to the free throw line panting for a free throw.

Both free throws were hit steadily.

72-85
In the next few rounds, James began to exert his strength gradually, and the point difference was gradually approached, but there were still some gaps.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the score came to 89-98, and the Cavaliers were only 9 points behind.

At this time, the Raptors owned the ball, and Lowry dragged his pace to the frontcourt. Visible to the naked eye, all the Raptors players on the field were panting, obviously exhausted.

Lowry pressed the time, seeing that the timing was almost up, and called his teammates to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

DeRozan took jr Smith to the low post.

Lowry used the pick-and-roll to find a pass opportunity and pass the ball directly to DeRozan in the low post.

DeRozan got the ball and was ready to play jr Smith in a back single, but DeRozan did consume a lot. When he finally turned over and shot a jumper, the height of the jump was significantly lower, and the shot was hard.

Love turned around and grabbed the rebound first, holding it high above his head. At the same time, James and Irving started sprinting to start a two-man fast break mode.

Love directly made a long pass and it was accurately passed to James, but James was followed by Carroll, so James passed the ball to Irving again.

Irving received the ball and made a quick layup.

91-98
Seeing Irving successfully scored, James took a quick breath and walked back to defense slowly.

James' physical strength is almost bottoming out.

The ball was given to the Raptors again, and Lowry still chose to press the time and slowly advanced to the frontcourt.

After coming to the frontcourt, Owen saw that Lowry had been pressing the time, so he took the initiative to step forward and press the defense, trying to force Lowry to play the ball quickly.

But Lowry flexibly dodged when Irving stepped forward, and directly took the ball to the basket.

Irving quickly turned around to chase, Thompson also moved to the basket to help defend, but just when Irving and Thompson were about to double-team successfully, Lowry passed the ball to Biyombo who was emptied.

Biyombo caught the ball and made a layup, but Thompson turned around and slapped it off.

drop--

The referee blew his whistle, calling for a foul by Thompson.

Biyombo stood on the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, then caught the ball and made a free throw.

The first ball simply popped out and missed.

Biyombo has also played for nearly 40 minutes, and his physical strength has also bottomed out.

In the second penalty, the basketball jumped twice on the basket and fell into the net.

91-99, with 8 points left.

The ball was given to the Cavaliers, and Owen quickly advanced with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Irving wanted to make up for the ball just now, so he directly called Love for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to accelerate to the basket.

Seeing that Irving was so determined, Biyombo didn't dare to step out of the penalty area, squatting under the basket and waiting for Irving's challenge.

Irving didn't really confront Biyombo head-on, but stopped and shot a jumper before entering the basket.

bang - swish -

The basketball hits the backboard and bounces into the net.

93-99
The ball was switched again, the Raptors hit the iron again this time, the Cavaliers counterattacked, James broke through to attract the defense and gave the ball to jr Smith in the bottom corner.

jr catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

96-99
There are only 3 points left and only 1 minute left.

It was the Raptors' turn to attack again. This time DeRozan received the ball in the low post and played JR Smith with a post-up single. Irving stepped forward to help defend against interference.

DeRozan passed the ball directly to Lowry who ran out of space, and Lowry received the ball and made a bold three-pointer.

Swah——

Three points lucky to enter the net.

96-102
After the hit, Lowry caused fierce cheers from the fans at the scene, as if he was already the savior of Toronto.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout in time. At this time, there are still 6 points in the score difference. If the next one can score a three-pointer, there are still others to play.

But if it fails to hit, then the game is almost about to be explained.

So Tyronn Lue seized the time and arranged a fast-playing three-point tactic, followed by a foul tactic.

Soon the timeout ends and the game continues.

Love stood on the sidelines and prepared to serve. Irving and James ran around the field with the help of cover. Finally, James ran a chance, and Love passed the ball directly to James.

James got the ball and was about to shoot a three-pointer directly, but was double-teamed by Lowry and DeRozan, so James quickly passed the ball to Irving.

Owen received the ball, didn't have time to think too much, and directly shot a three-pointer.

boom--

Basketball hit the iron and was taken down by Biyombo. Thompson remembered the coach's instructions and quickly fouled Biyombo.

Tyronn Lue had no choice but to call a timeout again. The point difference was 6 points, and there were only 40 seconds left. The ball was still in the hands of the Raptors, and the chances were already slim.

So Tyronn Lue replaced the already tired main lineup with a substitute lineup, ready to accept the defeat in this game.

In the end, the game ended and the Cavaliers lost to the Raptors 99–105. The Raptors tried their best and finally won the first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Hearing the game-ending whistle, DeRozan and Lowry embraced excitedly.

The slogan of refusing to be swept away has finally been realized.

In this game, Lowry played 44 minutes and scored 35 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, and was named the best player in the game.

德罗赞上场40分钟，全场拿到32分3助攻3篮板1抢断。

Both of them performed supernormally, and finally won a game.

骑士这边，詹姆斯上场45分钟，拿到29分9篮板6助攻2抢断1盖帽。

欧文上场39分钟，拿到26分6助攻3篮板1抢断。

Irving and James both performed well and successfully played with style.

In contrast, Love is lagging behind, only scoring 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and his shooting percentage is 28.6%.

Without the blessing of Su Tian's pass, Love's shooting percentage also dropped seriously, only 7 of 2 three-pointers.

The defeat of the Cavaliers immediately became the number one hot spot in basketball news. Reporters followed James and Irving one after another, wanting to get the latest news reports.

But both of them had undergone formal training, so naturally the reporter didn't catch anything.

The next day, the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland early in the morning, the players went to rest for physical therapy, and the coaching staff kept meeting to discuss ways to deal with the Raptors.

Su Tian is still staying at home obediently. Although Su Tian can come back from the front line now, it is his body after all, and Su Tian also knows that even without himself, the Cavaliers will not be unable to pass the test of the Raptors.

The big deal is to be delayed for a few more days and play two more games.

With James here and a 3-1 advantage, the Raptors don't have much of a problem.

Compared with the Eastern Conference Finals where there is no suspense, the Western Conference Finals are actually more interesting.

On May 5, the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals started on time.

Before that, the big score was already 2-1, and the Thunder temporarily took the lead. If the Warriors lose this time, the Thunder will directly get the match point, so the Warriors are extremely dangerous in this game.

Soon, the game started, and the starting lineups of both sides did not change much, maintaining the original lineup.

In the first quarter, the two sides were evenly matched, and no one clearly had the upper hand. At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 26-30, and the Thunder temporarily led by 4 points.

In the second quarter, the Warriors carried out normal personnel rotation, but the Thunder maintained the main lineup.

As a result, the Thunder broke out suddenly and directly led the Warriors by a large margin. Cole failed to stop the Thunder's touch and offensive frenzy for two consecutive timeouts.

The Thunder scored 42-27 in a single quarter.

At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 53-72, directly leading the Warriors by 19 points.

In the third quarter, Cole began to send out five small lineups, ready to start chasing points.

The Thunder was even more ruthless. Durant and Westbrook continued to play and used them directly as livestock.

In the third quarter, the two sides directly saw the bayonet, and it was all hand-to-hand combat. Although the Warriors seemed to have the upper hand in a single quarter, scoring 29-22 in a single quarter, the Thunder also completed their mission and were not overtaken by the Warriors.

Not only did they not overtake, but they even led by double digits in the total score.

During the intermission, Cole already felt bad. If the Warriors lose again, then this round of the series will be really dangerous.

The Thunder really became "tired" this time. Westbrook and Durant, including Robertson and Ibaka, were all so tired that they couldn't stop panting.

Soon, the intermission ended and the fourth quarter began.

As soon as it came up, the Warriors played fiercely here, but I have to say that the Thunder's defense against Curry was in place in this game, and Curry's performance was very substandard.

As for the Thunder, they still maintain a relatively good shooting percentage.

After coming and going, the score not only did not pull in, but became even wider.

At the end of the game, the Warriors still failed to tie the score. The Thunder defeated the Warriors 118-94 and successfully won the fourth game. The big score came to 3-1.

本场比赛杜兰特上场41分钟，拿到26分11篮板4助攻4抢断3盖帽，非常全能。

威斯布鲁克数据更好看，拿到36分11助攻11篮板4抢断，36分的大号三双！直接被评为本场的最佳。

反观勇士这边，库里发挥失常只拿到19分5助攻5篮板2抢断，三分球10投2中。克莱拿到26分5篮板1助攻3抢断，三分球11投4中。

As for the Warriors, apart from Curry, Klay and Barnes, no third person scored in double figures.The team made only 30% of their three-pointers.

After the game, the pressure of public opinion faced by the Warriors was also huge. The Thunder's ability to take a 3-1 lead was something that many people did not expect in advance.

After all, in any case, the Warriors also broke the Bulls' record of 72 wins and won an unprecedented 73 wins.

Judging from the current situation, the Warriors are very likely to not even make it to the finals, which is far from the state of the regular season.

As a result, the saying that jump shots can't win the championship sounded again.

Public opinion on the Internet began to ridicule the Warriors one-sidedly, comparing the Warriors to the biggest joke of this century.

So the heat of the Western Conference Finals once again surpassed that of the Eastern Conference Finals, and the fifth game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors also quietly started in Cleveland.

Su Tian still hasn't received the news of returning to the team, but he has already started some regular training. Just in case, Tyronn Lue still didn't let Su Tian enter the activation list.

On May 5, Quicken Loans Arena, Game 25 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Both sides have the same old starting lineup, and the game also directly omits the trial link, and it will be head-to-head.

Su Tian was sitting on the bench on the side of the Cavaliers, and the camera was shown to Su Tian from time to time. Su Tian also saw fans holding his big head sign.

In the first quarter of the game, James played tough and played No. 1 in the league. The Raptors may have been affected by physical factors and have not fully recovered. They struggled in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers directly led the Raptors by 37 points 19-18.

In the second quarter, the Raptors wanted to catch up, but Love suddenly broke out.

Love's broken performance in the last game made many fans angry, and Love also took a deep breath.

So the second quarter became the time for Love to perform. He made 2 of 2 three-pointers in a single quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 14 points in a single quarter.

As for the Raptors, they still haven't adjusted to the state of the previous game, and Tyronn Lue also specially prepared a double-team package for DeRozan, which made DeRozan extremely uncomfortable.

At the end of the second quarter, the score had come to 65-34, and the Cavaliers led the Raptors by 31 points at halftime!
In the third quarter, DeRozan didn't believe in evil and continued to play. The Cavaliers still maintained the double-team tactics arranged by Tyronn Lue, and the offense was dominated by Irving and James.

So, DeRozan once again touched the bag and got lost in the Cavaliers' defensive tactics.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 100-60, and the Cavaliers led the Raptors by a full 40 points!
Su Tian was stunned watching from the audience, are the knights so awesome?I don't even know it myself!
In fact, even Tai Lunlu didn't expect that this match could be so devastating.

In fact, it is easy to understand that in the last game, the Raptors held the determination to die and played the banner of refusing to sweep, and the task has been completed.

After the task was completed, the Raptors' players had lost that momentum and determination, and the players also returned to reality, knowing that it was impossible to succeed in a 3-0 comeback.

So, since you can't succeed, end your vacation early.

Anyway, I have already won a game, no shame.

So, the fifth game played like this.

In the fourth quarter, Tyronn Lue directly withdrew from the main lineup, and all the benches were filled.

And Casey also knew that this point difference was impossible to succeed, so he also removed the main force and replaced it with a substitute.

Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals ended in an anticlimactic manner.

The moment the game ended, both Casey and Tyronn Lue breathed a sigh of relief.
