NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 205
After losing to the Bulls, the Cavaliers continued their winning streak, defeating the Raptors, Knicks, Heat, Hornets, Grizzlies, and Lakers one after another.

The winning streak continued for 10 games, all the way to the game before the Christmas game.

12月23日，骑士在主场119-99轻松战胜篮网，拿到10连胜。

Now the core of the Nets is Brock Lopez, and Jeremy Lin is on the outside.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Cavaliers, the Nets had no room to resist.

The next day, December 12, the Cavaliers deliberately rested for half a day.

At this time, the Cavaliers' record came to 25 wins and 3 losses.

The opponent in the Christmas War is undoubtedly the Golden State Warriors.

And this is the first time the two teams have met this season.

With the deepening of the schedule, the Warriors' cooperation has gradually become smoother, and the Warriors' record has also reached 27 wins and 4 losses, temporarily ranking first in the Western Conference.

The meeting of the two super teams also made fans look forward to it.

"The recent state of the Warriors is overwhelming, and the Cavaliers are not their opponents!" - IP: Oakland
"It's clearly the Cavaliers! The Cavaliers have won 10 consecutive victories!" - IP: Cleveland

"The Warriors could have played [-]-[-] with the Cavaliers. Now that Durant is added, the Warriors have a better chance of winning!" - IP: San Francisco
"No, no, no, although the Warriors have Durant, they haven't fully settled in with the Warriors yet. On the other hand, the Cavaliers are all old players from last year, and they have a good understanding!" ——IP: Cleveland

-

The fans have been arguing, and the time for the game is coming.

On December 12th, at the Quicken Loans Arena, the Cavaliers ushered in a battle against the Warriors.

The Warriors are sharpening their swords this season, and they are here for the championship.

James is only short of this championship to complete three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty!

On both sides is Mars hitting the earth!
As the referee blew his whistle, the two teams entered the field.

The Cavaliers are still the regular starting lineup, Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, Thompson.

For the Warriors, Curry, Clay, Durant, Green, Pachulia.

The Warriors let go of Bogout in the summer and found Pachulia and McGee to supplement the inside line.

Thompson and Pachulia jumped the ball, the basketball was grabbed by Thompson, and the Cavaliers went first.

Irving took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

After coming to the frontcourt, Irving wanted to hit Curry directly, but when he broke through and scored, he was intercepted by Durant.

Durant who grabbed the ball directly started a fast break, James couldn't catch up, and Durant made a layup.

0-2
The Warriors took a blow at the beginning of the game, and the Cavaliers fans were a little depressed.

The Cavaliers organized an offense again. Irving didn't play singles this time, but passed the ball to James and let James take over the ball directly.

James got the ball and faced Durant directly to attack. The two confronted and came to the basket. James forced a layup.

But James' shot was still interfered by Durant, and the rebound was taken by Pachulia.

In the transition between offense and defense, the Warriors wanted to play a fast break directly. Curry quickly advanced with the ball. Facing Irving's defense, he chose to pass the ball to Klay who was outside the three-point line.

Clay catches the ball and shoots with open hand, but at the same time Su Tian's defense also arrives and successfully interferes with Clay, missing a three-pointer.

The rebound was taken by Love, and Love who took the rebound directly made a long pass to James in the frontcourt.

James caught the ball and broke through, and was double-teamed by Durant and Pachulia, so James quickly split the ball to Su Tian who had already run beyond the three-point line.

Su Tian caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian successfully hit a three-pointer.

3-2
The rhythm on both sides was fast, but the intensity was not small, and the two sides played iron for several consecutive rounds.

It wasn't until the middle of the first quarter that Durant broke through and fouled Thompson and went to the free throw line.

After two consecutive free throws, the score came to 3-4, and the shooting percentages on both sides were very low.

Turning around, the Cavaliers attacked, and the ball was given to Su Tian. Su Tian called Love for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to attract the defensive pass to Love outside the three-point line.

Love and He went straight to a three-pointer.

Swah——

The Cavaliers also started scoring again.

In the next few rounds, the touch of each player began to return to normal.

After all, these are all at the All-Star level, and even at the MVP level, so everyone's status adjustments are very fast.

But the point difference has not changed much, and everyone can't see which team is more dominant.

Until the end of the first quarter, the score came to 25-27, and the Warriors temporarily led by 2 points.

During the break between festivals, the commentary seats were not idle.

"Charles, which team do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"I don't know, I can't see it yet, but I hope the Cavaliers win."

"why?"

"Because I like the Hua country boy in the Cavaliers, I actually saw my shadow in him."

"Hahaha, what are you kidding Charles, he is a guard, you are a power forward, the positions are different! If you say you saw Kobe's shadow, it is true, as for you, it is impossible!"

"I'm not joking, it's true, but it's just like, not as strong as my Lord Jazz! Hehe!"

Soon, the intermission ended and the second quarter began.

The Cavaliers are performing a lineup rotation, Su Tian is on the field, and JR Smith is on the field.

The Warriors also started to make substitutions, David West, Livingston and Iguodala played one after another.

At the beginning of the second quarter, James broke through and caused a defensive foul by Iguodala, standing on the free throw line.

One of two free throws, 26-27
For the Warriors, Clay took advantage of Su Tian's absence and began to assume the team's offensive responsibilities. After running continuously, he took a pass from Livingston and made a three-pointer.

26-30
The possession of the ball was changed, Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball, broke through to attract double-teams, and passed the ball to Frye who cut in the air.

Frye catches the ball and dunks directly.

28-30
The scores of the two sides are very close.

In the next few rounds, the point difference has not changed much. Until Tyronn Lue replaced James and Irving to rest, the point difference remained at about 3 points.

After the substitution adjustment, the Cavaliers' lineup became Su Tian, ​​JR Smith, Richard Jefferson, Frye, and Love.

With this lineup, the ball must be in Su Tian's hands.

So Su Tian also took this opportunity to continuously use pick-and-roll tactics and use his own passes to continuously assist his teammates.

At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 52-55, and the Warriors only temporarily led by 3 points.

At halftime, the atmosphere in the dressing rooms on both sides was not very relaxed.

Durant came to the Golden State Warriors with infamy. If he can't win the championship, he will be accused by Wanfu.

And James, just short of this championship, can complete the dynasty goal of three consecutive championships!This is undoubtedly the only way to catch up with Jordan.

No matter who is on both sides, they don't want to lose this championship.

Moreover, both sides are also clear that this game is a preview of the finals, and the champion will only be born between their two teams.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

The Cavaliers sent out the starting lineup again, while the Warriors came up with an upgraded version of the five small lineups.

Curry, Klay, Iguodala, Durant, Green.

In fact, after Durant came to the Warriors, the Warriors' offense was overflowing. Cole has not yet managed to make them 1+1=2, but close to 2.

The first ball was given to the Warriors, and the Warriors served the ball directly and quickly, wanting to play the rhythm as soon as they came up.

After Curry came to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Green, and the Warriors began to run at the top of the arc.

The difference this time is that the Cavaliers can no longer let go of the fourth position at will.

Even Green, who is the most inaccurate in this lineup, can be quite accurate.

So, after continuous tactical moves, Durant successfully received a pass from Green.

Durant catches the ball and pulls out his hand directly.
Swah——

Durant scored two points and made a steady hit.

52-57
The ball is switched, and it's the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

James advanced with the ball. After coming to the frontcourt, James called Irving to pick and roll, trying to single Curry like last season.

But Curry probably trained a lot during the offseason and was not caught by James.

So James had to push Iguodala hard, the two confronted and came to the basket, Green ran to help defend, and James passed the ball to Thompson.

Thompson shot from close range and hit the iron.

At this time, it was Su Tian again who suddenly ran over and successfully grabbed the rebound.

As soon as Su Tian got the rebound, he jumped up again and shot.

Su Tian's shot was so fast that the Warriors didn't even react.

Swah——

Su Tian made a tip-up and scored.

54-57
Su Tian's aggressive fighting won cheers from the fans.

"Look! Kenny! That's it, isn't that like me? This offensive rebound!"

"Sorry Charles, I think it's just because Sue is an aggressive player and has nothing to do with you."

"No, this is my movement, this rushing posture, it's too much like me!"

"Oh, Charles, I think you should go to the doctor, the paranoia is too serious hahaha."

Barkley insisted that Su Tian had his own shadow, but Kenny Smith just refused to admit it.

The possession of the ball was switched again. Thanks to Su Tian's active fighting, the Warriors failed to play fast break.

Although the fast break failed to start, the Warriors are still constantly improving their rhythm, trying to bring the Cavaliers' rhythm.

Soon, halfway through the third quarter, but the score still did not show an advantage.

Tyronn Lue thought about it, and started to rotate according to the previous arrangement. Su Tian and Love came down to rest.

However, the Cavaliers made substitutions and adjustments, but the Warriors did not, and still maintained a five-small lineup.

As for Su Tian's end, the change brought about was Clay's recovery.

Taking advantage of Su Tian's absence, Clay hit two consecutive three-pointers and successfully established a point difference advantage.

Immediately afterwards, Curry and Durant worked hard one after another and successfully defended the point difference.

Until the end of the third quarter, the score came to 80-87, and the Warriors temporarily led by 7 points.

In the fourth quarter, after the break, Su Tian and Love played together.

On the Warriors' side, only Clay and Iguodala were arranged to play in the five small lineups to lead the bench.

The first half of the fourth quarter is where the Cavaliers have the advantage, and it is also a good opportunity for the Cavaliers to overtake.

The first ball was given to the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter, and Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Call Love directly for the pick-and-roll. At this time, Livingston is defending Su Tian, ​​but Livingston is not Su Tian's opponent.

Su Tian easily broke through Livingston's defense with an explosion, drove the ball straight to the basket, and made a European layup.

82-87
The ball is switched, and it's the Warriors' turn to attack.

Livingston came to the frontcourt with the ball and found that the Cavaliers had switched defenses. JR Smith defended in front of Livingston, and Su Tian followed Clay.

Su Tian also knew that in this lineup, Clay was the only one with scoring explosiveness. Although Iguodala and Livingston could both score, they didn't have scoring explosiveness. It was impossible to kill the Cavaliers by themselves.

Livingston would not force jr, so he passed the ball to Iguodala.

Iguodala's performance in this game is a bit abnormal. So far, he has taken 4 shots, but he has not hit one yet, and the score is zero.

Of course, it may also be Durant's arrival that took away a lot of Iguodala's shot rights, which led to Iguodala's dismal performance.

But now Iguodala is the most stable point in the current Warriors lineup.

Iguodala called his teammates for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to start a breakthrough.

After breaking through to the middle distance, he found that Clay had actually run out of the opportunity, so he passed the ball.

In fact, this is a trap left by Su Tian for the Warriors. Su Tian knows that Iguodala prefers to assist his teammates compared to attacking with the ball, so he left such a bait for Iguodala.

As soon as Clay received the ball, Su Tian's defense arrived at the same time, and Clay directly shot a three-pointer against Su Tian.

Perhaps it was his excellent performance in the third quarter that allowed Clay to play confidently and directly make a strong shot.

But Su Tian's defense is no joke.

boom--

Sure enough, Clay hit the iron with a three-pointer.

Le Fu grabbed the rebound, Su Tian turned around and charged, Le Fu made a long pass and accurately delivered it to Su Tian.

Su Tian caught the ball and dunked it directly.

84-87
In the first two rounds of the fourth quarter, the Warriors managed to widen the point difference in the third quarter, but Su Tian chased them down to 3 points.

The Warriors continued to attack, and this time Iguodala assisted David West who made an air cut, and West made a layup.

84-89
Turning his head, Su Tian used Love's pick-and-roll to make a direct three-pointer.

Swah——

87-89
Seeing Su Tian's consecutive hits, Cole quickly called a timeout, trying to contain Su Tian's touch.

But soon after returning from the timeout, Su Tian was still in full condition, not only helping to defend Livingston's layup, but also assisting jr to score a layup.

As the team's substitute core, Su Tian led the Cavaliers to steadily suppress the Warriors.

After a few rounds, the score came to 96-94. Su Tian hit a mid-range shot and successfully overtook the score.

Cole once again called a timeout. Tyronn Lue guessed that after the timeout, the Warriors would probably bring up the main force, so he quickly arranged the main lineup to play.

After the timeout ended, players from both sides returned to the court. Sure enough, the Warriors once again came up with five small lineups.

Fortunately, Tyronn Lue made a prediction in advance and came up with a starting lineup to play against.

The battle between the two sides is imminent.

Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, and this time he passed the ball directly to Durant. Durant faced Love with the ball, directly doubled in disguise and then rushed in, making a jumper.

Swah——

Durant, who is physically strong, is indeed one of the best scorers in the league.

96-96, the two teams returned to the same starting line.
