NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 210

The Cavaliers lost to the Celtics, harvesting their 12th loss of the season.

And the embarrassment that no one is available for the Cavaliers is undoubtedly revealed.

So, at this embarrassing moment, the general manager of the team began to exert his strength, signing Deron Williams who was cut by the Mavericks with a basic salary of 155 million veterans.

Although Deron's ability has declined, Deron is only 32 years old this season, which is logically at his peak.

这个赛季在小牛，德隆场均还能出战29分钟，拿到场均13.1分6.9助攻2.6篮板0.6抢断的数据。

If you want to say whether Delong's arrival has any impact on Su Tian, ​​of course it has, but it has little impact, after all, jr hasn't come back yet.

The backcourt was already short of people, and Delong's arrival could relieve some of the pressure, so Su Tian was more than welcome.

It's just that Su Tian knew that Deron's performance in the Cavaliers was not good, and he could only be used as a substitute on the bench.

It is impossible to expect Deron to perform well in the playoffs occasionally.

On March 3, Su Tian returned, and the Cavaliers beat the Eagles away.

Deron came off the bench and performed well. He played 17 minutes and scored 2 points, 7 assists and 1 rebound.

The Eagles let go of Al Horford during the offseason and signed Warcraft Howard. Although they remained in the ranks of the playoffs, their record of 34 wins and 26 losses cannot be said to be excellent.

In the next few games, Tyronn Lue began to take a large-scale rotation.

On March 3, against the Heat, Tyronn Lue directly arranged for all the main players to rest. The starting lineup only had Deron, Korver, Shumpert, Frye, and Thompson.

The Cavaliers also lost the game 92-120.

Immediately afterwards, on March 3, the Cavaliers returned to their home court for a rematch with the Heat, and the Cavaliers played their best.

In the end, the Cavaliers easily won the Heat 110-98, and the record came to 49 wins and 13 losses.

In the next few games, the Cavaliers have been arranging a rotation policy, which also led to ups and downs in the record.

Throughout the rest of March, they lost seven of them.

At the end of March, the Cavaliers' record came to 55 wins and 20 losses.

During March, Love and jr Smith also returned one after another, which relieved a lot of pressure on the team.

It's just that it takes a while for the team to adapt to the return of the two, especially Love. After returning this time, he obviously felt that his ability has declined a bit seriously.

But fortunately, the Cavaliers have a good record and a solid foundation, so they are not afraid that they will not make it to the playoffs.

Even after all this, the Cavaliers still occupy the first place in the Eastern Conference, followed by the Celtics with 49 wins and 27 losses.

The number one in the West is still the Warriors, with 62 wins and 14 losses, and it is also the number one in the league.

Time enters April, and the Cavaliers only have 4 regular season games left to complete the finale.

And the Cavaliers have so many winning advantages and sit firmly in the first place in the Eastern Conference, so Tyronn Lue is also more at ease to take the rotation.

On April 4, the Cavaliers played against the Pacers at home.

Both sides were the main players, and the Pacers' resilience was beyond Tyronn Lue's imagination. The two sides kept the score in a stalemate until the last moment. With Su Tian's two consecutive three-pointers, they won the game 108-105.

Then the Cavaliers defeated the Magic and the Celtics one after another.

But just after the Cavaliers game against the Celtics, Thompson was taken away by the team doctor, and then Tyronn Lue came over to announce that Thompson had a truce for one to two weeks.

On April 4, the Cavaliers played against the Eagles at home.

Because of Thompson's absence, the Cavaliers had no choice but to push Love to the fifth position and put out a lineup of Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Frye, and Love.

It's just that after some offseason transactions, the Eagles managed to beat themselves down.

Now the record is only 40 wins and 38 losses, temporarily ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference.

The starting lineup sent by the Eagles is only Calderon, Hardaway II, Taurin Prince, Humphries, and Ilyasova.

Originally, the Eagles' assist lineup relied more on the performance of outside players, but the team's top scorer Hardaway and Su Tian faced each other.

Under Su Tian's restrictions, Hardaway did not perform well, and in the end the Cavaliers won the game without any risk.

On April 4, these two teams moved to the Eagles' home court.

This time the Eagles played mainly, Schroeder, Hardaway, Prince, Millsap, Howard.

So the Cavaliers' inside weakness was caught and beaten by the Eagles.

Just when Tyronn Lue wanted to double-team and assist the defense restriction on the inside, the outside line caught fire again.

Mike Dunleavy, who was traded by the Cavaliers, hit consecutive three-pointers. He made 5 of 4 three-pointers and scored 20 points.

内线米尔萨普全场拿下22分9篮板2助攻1抢断，霍华德19分5篮板2助攻1盖帽。

The Cavaliers were blown up by the Eagles from the inside, which caused the fire to spread to the outside, making the Eagles feel like shooting three-pointers from the outside.

In the end, the Eagles won the Cavaliers 126-111, and the Cavaliers lost 21 games.

On April 4, the Cavaliers played back-to-back against the Heat.

Because it was a continuous away game, Tyronn Lue directly took James and Irving to rest.

As a result, there was only one Su Tian left in the team to support them.

Tyronn Lue sent a lineup, Su Tian, ​​jr Smith, Shumpert, Frye, Love.

The Heat sent Dragic, McGruder, Josh Richardson, James Johnson, Hassan Whiteside.

At the beginning, the Heat grabbed the ball and Dragic advanced with the ball.

Now that the Heat's lineup can still get 39 wins and 41 losses, Dragic has contributed a lot.

Of course, the big white side is also a very important part.

Facing Su Tian's defense, Dragic did not act rashly, and waited for his teammates to come to the pick-and-roll before starting a breakthrough.

But Su Tian quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and entangled Dragic again.

Seeing no chance, Dragic had to pass the ball to Richardson.

Richardson faced jr, broke through all the way to the basket, and made a throw.

Swah——

The Heat won a good start.

Although Dragic has no good way to face Su Tian, ​​Su Tian doesn't have any reliable teammates on the defensive end.

The possession of the ball was changed, and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Su Tian took the ball to the frontcourt.

Su Tian also called the pick-and-roll, but Dragic chose to go around the pick-and-roll from behind, so Su Tian directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

3-2
Su Tian is the most stable point on the perimeter of the Cavaliers this season, with a three-point shooting rate of over [-]%.

Of course, this is also related to Su Tian's various badge bonuses.

The ball was given to the Heat again. Dragic did not try to break through Su Tian this time, but passed the ball directly to Richardson.

This time Richardson made a breakthrough and was defended by Love. He shot a shot and Love grabbed a rebound.

Seeing that Love took the rebound, Su Tian rushed directly, and Love also made a tacit long pass, which was accurately passed to Su Tian's front.

Su Tian received the ball as soon as he stretched forward, then took the ball to the basket, and made a European layup.

Although Dragic followed up, he was passed by the Eurostep and failed to defend successfully.

5-2
Cavaliers lineup, although inside defense is a big problem, but the offensive attribute is still no problem.

Especially Whiteside, a big center, is unwilling to defend against a pitcher like Love. This does give Love a lot of opportunities.

Basically, after Su Tian and Love cooperated in the pick-and-roll, Su Tian broke through to the inside, and Love bounced outside the three-point line. Whiteside directly let go of Love and went to Su Tian.

Su Tian knew that Baibian's shot blocking was strong, so he didn't think about going head-to-head, and directly passed the ball to Love who was emptied outside.

Love caught the ball and made a three-pointer, making a steady hit.

Such a scene appeared three times, but Whiteside still did not change.

Seeing that the point difference was going to double digits, Spoelstra called a timeout.

After the timeout, Whiteside restrained himself and was willing to follow Love to the outside.

But in this way, Su Tian would have no opponent in the paint. Whether it was a layup with a European step or a toss shot in the middle of the road, they all made steady hits.

Soon, the first quarter ended, the score came to 37-24, and the Cavaliers temporarily led the Heat by 13 points.

In the second quarter, Tyronn Lue began to rotate the lineup. Deron, Korver, Richard Jefferson played, Su Tian, ​​Frye, and Shumpert rested.

Su Tian was sitting off the court, watching the game on the court.

As soon as Deron went up, he continued to find Love to play pick-and-roll cooperation.

Deron also came out of the Jazz back then, and also started playing pick-and-roll tactics. He is still very handy for such simple tactical coordination.

At the same time, Deron's performance on the outside was also very good. In the second quarter, he scored 4 of 3 from outside the three-point line and scored 13 points in a single quarter.

So the two sides played a tie in the second quarter. At the end of the first half, the score came to 60-50, and the Cavaliers temporarily led by 10 points.

In the third quarter, Love rested and Su Tian led the team.

Love is not there, so Su Tian naturally finds Frye to cooperate. Although Frye's ability has declined, he is quite threatening with Su Tian's help.

The Heat also began to exert their strength gradually, and Whiteside directly grabbed the inside rebound.

Someone also stood up on the bench, Tyler Johnson, an unknown young player, hit consecutive three-pointers and clung to the score.

Except for Dragic, who was blocked by Su Tian, ​​the entire Heat team performed beyond normal.

At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 88-82, with only 6 points left.

And the Heat are getting more aggressive as they play. Looking at the posture, it seems that it is only a matter of time before they overthrow the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter.

But fortunately, the knight has Su Tian on his side.

In the fourth quarter, the open version of Su Tian strikes.

The Heat owned the first ball. Dragic came to the frontcourt with the ball and was about to pass it out but was intercepted by Su Tian.

After completing the steal, Su Tian didn't delay, and started the fast break directly. Dragic turned to chase, but the chase got farther and farther, and he watched Su Tian score a layup.

90-82
The Heat reorganized their offense. This time Dragic was a lot more careful and gave it to James Johnson.

James Johnson faced Frye with the ball and started a breakthrough directly. Frye only had time to follow behind Johnson.

Johnson came to the basket, Love went to help defend, Johnson missed the basketball and hit the iron.

Just when Whiteside was about to grab the rebound, Su Tian suddenly rushed in and grabbed the rebound.

After successfully rushing to grab the rebound, Su Tian took the ball and made a fast break again, but this time he was blocked by the Heat and both sides fell into position.

Su Tian beckoned to cooperate with Love in the pick-and-roll, and Love ran to the three-point line to give Su Tian a pick-and-roll.

According to Spoelstra's previous instructions, Whiteside should follow closely, but Whiteside is indeed stinky, and only came to the free throw line to make a show.

So Su Tian took advantage of Love's pick-and-roll, easily threw off Dragic and rushed into the three-point line.

Whiteside saw Su Tian coming in, so he hurriedly backed away, trying to give Su Tian a big hat.

But Su Tian didn't enter the penalty area, but made an emergency stop outside the free throw line and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Su Tianchang hit two points steadily.

92-82
In two rounds, Su Tian successfully opened the score to 10 points.

The possession of the ball was converted, and Dragic held the ball again to advance.

After passing the ball continuously, the ball was given to Richardson. Richardson wanted to break through jr with the ball, but jr did not lose his position. After a confrontation, the two came to the basket, and Richardson forced a layup. .

boom--

While playing basketball, seeing the backboard appear, Da Baibian leaped high and made a dunk with a bang.

Seeing Whiteside's physical fitness, Su Tian was really envious, but it didn't matter, although this guy has good physical condition, his brain is not good.

92-84
The ball was given to the Cavaliers, and Su Tian took the ball to the frontcourt, still looking for Love to pick and roll.

Seeing that Whiteside was still unwilling to come out, Su Tian became cruel and headed for the basket.

Whiteside saw that Su Tian dared to challenge him, so he quickly followed, ready to block shots at any time.

Su Tian, ​​who came to the basket, naturally wouldn't give Whiteside an easy chance to block the shot. After receiving the ball, he took a European step and made a fake layup and shook his white side.

Whiteside didn't have such a good sense. Seeing that Su Tian wanted to make a layup, he immediately jumped up.

But after jumping up, I found out, huh?Where's the ball?

Seeing Whiteside jump up after being shaken, Su Tian smiled slightly, leaned on Whiteside, and ran out of the basketball in his hand at the same time.

"Ah!"

Swah——

"drop--"

"Heat, foul number 21! One free throw."

Su Tian successfully got 2+1!

Seeing Su Tian cheating for a foul, Whiteside was very emotional and was held tightly by his teammates.

Su Tian came to the free throw line and made a free throw.

95-84
After this goal, the point difference basically stabilized at double digits. In the next few rounds, the Heat wanted to catch up with the score, but they were suppressed by Su Tian.

In the end, the game ended. Under the leadership of Su Tian, ​​the Cavaliers defeated the Heat 115-103.

苏天全场拿到35分12助攻10篮板2抢断1盖帽的三双数据，被评为全场最佳。

Apart from Su Tian, ​​the best performer on the Cavaliers side is not Love, but Deron.

德隆全场拿到25分8助攻5篮板1抢断，三分球9投5中，完美承担起替补席上的重任。

Love scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, which is also the key guarantee for the team's victory.

For the Heat, Dragic scored 15 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 turnovers, and was obviously restricted when facing Su Tian.

Whiteside scored 23 points, 18 rebounds and 2 blocks, almost getting a double 20, but there were also many mistakes and fouls.

Although the Heat's outside core performance is not good enough, Dragic's field control is still good. With the help of Dragic, 6 of the Heat scored in double figures, but they still lost the game.

After the game against the Heat, the Cavaliers' record came to 60 wins and 21 losses, and there is only the last game left in the remaining regular season.

The 16-17 season is coming to an end!
