NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 192 Coach Lu's Worries
After the first finals with the Warriors, Su Tian also returned to the hotel with the team.

Next, the Cavaliers will rest in San Francisco for two days. Two days later, on June 6, the second game of the finals will start.

On the second day, the team came to a rented venue for training. In fact, this time was some basic routine training, just to keep the players in a better state.

After the regular training, everyone started free training, and James came to Su Tian's side.

"Su, Tyronn let us go to a meeting."

"Alright LeBron, I'm coming."

Su Tian followed James to the meeting place of the coaching staff. After entering, Su Tian found that apart from James and himself, the only players who came here were Irving and Love, and the rest were members of the coaching staff.

"Okay, everyone is here, let me just say it briefly," Tai Lunlu saw Su Tian coming in with James, so he said, "Warriors are not so easy to deal with, you also saw it in the last game, so the next game I will increase the playing time of the main players, that is, you. No objection?"

"No problem, coach."

"OK"

"Okay coach."

"Okay, since there is no objection, I will continue. In addition to increasing your playing time, there will be some adjustments to the tactical layout and your roles."

Tyronn Luke paused and then said, "Tactics will be discussed in the tactical meeting. I will mainly talk about your division of labor. Kyrie, you need to focus more on offense and hit the basket more. "

"LeBron, you need more time to dominate the team, the team needs you to be on the court for a long time, you need to switch between the organizer and the attacker."

"Su, when you and Kyrie are on the court at the same time, try to cooperate with Kyrie as much as possible and assume the organizational responsibility of the team."

"Love, your duty is to cooperate with the three of them to launch an offense. At the same time, I will arrange some low-post singles tactics for you, so be prepared."

After the continuous arrangement, the coaching staff began to gather the players to explain the tactical arrangement and arrangements.

On June 6, Oracle Arena, the second game of the finals.

The starters on both sides maintained their regular starting lineups, with Thompson and Bodog for the jump ball.

Before the match, Su Tian took a special look at Barnes and found that Barnes was becoming more and more confident, which made Su Tian secretly feel bad.

Soon, the game started, Thompson was strong and took the lead in grabbing the basketball.

Irving received the ball and came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Curry's defense, he directly called Love for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Irving rushed in two steps, and then pulled up directly to shoot.

Swah——

Owen took the lead as soon as he came up.

2-0
The ball is switched, and it's the Warriors' turn to attack.

After Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, he passed the ball directly to Green, who stood at the top of the arc with the ball and waited for the card to be dealt.

Curry kept running after passing the ball, and his teammates also frantically screened for Curry. Finally, Curry found an opportunity for an air cut, and Green passed the ball in time.

Just when Curry was about to hold the ball to the basket, James suddenly gave up his defender and pounced on Curry.

Curry saw James' movement out of the corner of his eye, so he passed the ball directly to Barnes who was emptied.

Barnes received the ball, without any hesitation this time, and directly shot a three-pointer.

Seeing Barnes's confident appearance, Su Tian was a little uncertain, but fortunately,
boom--

Barnes hit the iron with a three-pointer and James grabbed the rebound.

After getting the rebound, James held the ball and rushed straight to the frontcourt, and Irving and Su Tian also started sprinting at the same time.

The Cavaliers reacted quickly, and the Warriors did not react too slowly. Green went straight to James at the first moment, and Clay also followed Su Tian. Although Curry also chased Irving, there was a clear distance between him and Irving.

So James passed the ball directly to the safe Irving. Irving received the ball and dribbled twice and took three steps directly.

Easy layup and scored.

4-0
Irving made two of two shots in the opening game, putting enough pressure on the Warriors.

The ball was given to the Warriors again, and Green continued to deal at the top of the arc. This time it was given to Clay, and Clay took the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

boom--

Although Clay found an opportunity to catch and shoot the ball, he still did not escape the trial of "defensive shock".

The rebound was taken by Thompson, who passed the ball directly to Love, and Love passed the ball again to James who was already running.

James caught the ball and came to the basket, and directly smashed and dunked vigorously.

6-0
The Cavaliers had an advantage at the start, and the cheers of the fans on the scene dropped a notch.

Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball again. This time, Curry did not pass the ball directly to Green, but faced Irving with the ball, and began to mobilize Irving's defensive focus, trying to directly break through Irving's defense.

Although Irving is indeed not a player who is good at defense, he followed Curry closely when Curry rushed forward, and there is no problem with his attitude.

Curry, who broke through to the basket, attracted Thompson's double-team defense. Seeing that there was no room for a shot, Curry hit the ground and passed directly to Green who was cutting.

Green caught the ball and went straight to the layup and hit the rebound.

6-2
The Warriors finally started to score, the atmosphere on the scene became cheerful, and the fans started yelling again.

In the next few rounds, the two sides began to strike iron. It is not known whether the iron strike will be contagious or the basket is not correct.

Just when the score was getting anxious, Tyronn Lue made a gesture towards the field.

From the looks of it, Love wants to play singles.

So Irving passed the ball directly to the inside, and Love received the ball with his back against Green, stepping inside step by step.

But I have to say that Green's defensive ability this season is really good enough. Love didn't go inside, so he turned around and made a layup after shaking his shoulders.

boom--

The basketball hit the iron, and when everyone was waiting for the basketball to fall, James took off directly, and with a bang, he made a tip-up dunk.

This ball also allowed the Cavaliers to successfully gain the upper hand in morale.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 25-19, and the Cavaliers led the Warriors by 6 points.

During the inter-section break, the two sides made lineup adjustments in unison.

There is no doubt that the Warriors directly took out five small lineups, and the Cavaliers also took out a lineup of Irving, Su Tian, ​​JR Smith, James, and Love to match the Warriors.

Soon, the intermission is over and the second quarter begins.

The first ball in the second quarter was given to the Warriors, and Curry took the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball directly to Green.

Green got the ball and stood at the top of the arc, his eyes fixed on his teammates' running positions.

Just when Love was still thinking about who Green was going to pass to, Green directly broke through Love's defense with the ball.

Because of the five small lineup, the space under the basket is extremely wide, Love turned around to chase, but failed to catch up in time, Green scored a layup.

25-21
The ball was switched, and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Irving took the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball directly to James.

Although the Cavaliers also came up with five small lineups, Cole still insisted on letting Iguodala defend James, and Barnes switched to jr Smith.

James faced Iguodala's defense and did not call Love for the pick-and-roll.

Now it is Green who is facing Love. If Love is called for a pick-and-roll, it is very easy to form a situation where Iguodala and Green double-team James. It is also difficult for James to deal with the double-team of these two.

So, after James crossed the ball continuously, he broke through directly and hit Iguodala's defense.

Iguodala was pushed all the way to the basket by James. James bypassed Iguodala's long arm and forced a layup.

27-21
Although the Cavaliers successfully scored, Tyronn Lue did not relax, because this style of play not only caused a large loss of James' physical strength, but also made it difficult to drive the entire tactical coordination.

The possession of the ball was switched again, and Curry quickly advanced with the ball.

The Warriors' five smalls are very fast, not only fast in pushing and switching offenses, but also fast in serving bottom line balls.

Curry quickly came to the frontcourt, the Cavaliers' players had just retreated, and the defensive position had not yet been fully formed.

So Curry took the ball directly to the basket, attracted Love's help defense, and quickly passed the ball to Green on the outside.

Green caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Green's three-pointers during this period are still accurate.

27-24
The Cavaliers had the ball, Irving advanced with the ball, and gave the ball to James.

James chose to call Irving for a pick-and-roll this time. After returning from the game, Irving also stepped up the time to contact the content of the pick-and-roll cover, just to create a chance for James to single Curry.

After Irving and James cooperated in two consecutive pick-and-rolls, Curry finally switched defenses in front of James.

After successfully switching defenses, James signaled to his teammates to pull away. James adjusted his rhythm and broke through from the right side with a disguised burst.

Curry's small body couldn't stop James' impact at all, and he was staggered by James. James came to the basket and made an easy layup.

In fact, Green originally wanted to help defend the past, but Curry didn't persist until Green came to help defend, so he was eaten raw by James.

The ball was given to the Warriors again, and Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball. This time, Curry held the ball and cooperated with Green in the pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Curry made a direct three-pointer. This time the three-pointer caught Irving by surprise, and the basketball went straight to the Nets.

Swah——

29-27
In the next few rounds, because both sides were in five small lineups, the speed was pushed very fast, but the corresponding shooting percentage did not increase, and the point difference once again fell into a tense moment.

James saw that he still couldn't open the score, so he was going to cooperate with Irving's pick-and-roll again, and wanted to switch Curry in front of him.

But this time Green's defense was very firm. James missed a layup, but took the lead in grabbing the rebound, and quickly passed the ball out, which was received by Su Tian.

Su Tian didn't hesitate to receive the ball, and took advantage of Clay's defense, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian hit a three-pointer and successfully eased the crisis.

The scores of the two sides have maintained a small point difference until the end of the second quarter.

At the end of the first half, the score came to 49-40, and the Cavaliers temporarily led by 9 points.

During the intermission, although the Cavaliers have been leading, Tyronn Lue has been frowning.

Because this is the lead gained by consuming the playing time of the main players, once the main players go to rest, the score will be easily overtaken and leveled or even overtaken.

Especially when facing crazy warriors.

So in the third quarter, in order to be on the safe side, Tyronn Lue let James and Irving, who had only rested for 2 minutes in the second quarter, continue to play. Su Tian and Love's physical reserves were not as good as the two of them, so they rested.

Back on the court, Tyronn Lue looked towards the Warriors after arranging the lineup.

Livingston, Klay, Iguodala, Barnes, Green.

Tyronn Lue suddenly got dizzy, and Cole was so ruthless that he actually brought up all the main players except Curry.

Soon, the game begins.

Livingston came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing the Cavaliers lineup, Livingston chose to hold the ball and call Green for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll to break through directly, Irving went all the way to the inside. Livingston turned around and connected with a turnaround jumper. Irving's defense did not reach Livingston's hands.

Swah——

Livingston's turnaround jumper is still so silky, 49-42
The ball is switched, and it's the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Livingston's defense, Irving also called his teammates for a pick-and-roll.

Livingston knew that he had a high center of gravity and was not Irving's opponent in terms of speed, so he went around the pick-and-roll in advance and wanted to make an advance.

But Owen saw Livingston move ahead and broke through directly from the other side, and Livingston was perfectly blocked.

Irving came all the way to the basket and was about to make a quick layup when Green suddenly jumped out from the side and slapped Irving's layup away.

The basketball goes straight out of bounds.

After Green successfully blocked the shot, he immediately posed arrogantly, coupled with roaring, quite a "wolf king" demeanor.

Because Green blocked the shot out of bounds, the ball was still given to the Cavaliers, but the attack time was running out.

So Irving received the ball and shook Livingston away in disguise, caught a gap, broke through directly, and made a jump shot.

boom--

Irving is still too anxious to play basketball.

The rebound was accepted by Green, and he started to push and run directly.

The rest of the Warriors also ran together. Before the Cavaliers could fully react, Green had already come to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Clay who was keeping up.

Clay caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Swah——

Clay chased and hit a three-pointer directly!

The score came to 49-45, with only 4 points left.

And this is exactly what Tyronn Lue is worried about. The difference is only 9 points. For the Warriors who come to feel, they will catch up in minutes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tyronn Lue called a timeout, trying to relieve the Warriors' feeling.

Soon the timeout ends and the game continues.

When he came to the court again, Tyronn Lue found that Cole was a real dog, so he took Curry up again.

And the matter has come to this point, Tyronn Lue can only pray, Curry feels bad.

The game continued, Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball again, James directly reached out for the ball, Irving passed it without hesitation.

When James got the ball, he still faced Iguodala. Originally, James wanted to call Irving to cooperate with the pick-and-roll again, but after two consecutive pick-and-rolls, he still failed. Seeing that time was running out, James had to give up.

So James directly started a breakthrough after a simple disguise.

Such a simple disguise can't fool Iguodala. After a fierce confrontation between the two, James forcibly collected the ball and took three steps.

When he came to the basket, James was about to push Iguodala for a layup, and Green on the side once again assisted in the defense, but at this time James could not find a suitable pass opportunity, and he had no choice but to send it.
