NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 218 Stepping on Su Tian
As soon as the third quarter started, the rhythm was brought up.

The first possession of the third quarter belonged to the Cavaliers.

Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to James. James didn't talk nonsense when facing Durant, and directly started a breakthrough.

Because Green and Love are now facing each other, if Love is allowed to pick and roll, then James is likely to face Green and Durant's double-team defense.

So it's better to let Love smoke directly in the corner, take Green away, open up space, and limit Green's defense.

James pushed Durant all the way to the basket, but Durant still kept the position in the air, not giving James room to shoot.

It stands to reason that James really has no room to make a shot, either he hits the iron or gets blocked.

But James has a lot of experience. When he was about to receive the ball for a layup, he pushed Durant without a trace. With just this one, he pushed out the space for the layup, so he went straight to the layup.

62-60
Su Tian saw it clearly off the court. Although this kind of small action was a bit suspicious of a foul, the range was very small. If the referee didn't blow it, it was a good shot.

Durant only complained to the referee for a few words, and then immediately threw himself into the game.

Obviously Durant also knows that this kind of complaint is useless, it is just a simple complaint.

The ball was converted, the Warriors quickly served, and Curry quickly advanced with the ball.

The rhythm of the Warriors, just highlight one word, fast!

Quickly advancing to the frontcourt, Curry made an emergency stop outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

The three-pointer is like a missile, hitting the net with precision.

62-63
The ball was given to the Cavaliers again, Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball, and directly started singles against Curry.

Seeing that Curry is so relaxed and casual, Irving has long been unable to resist his desire to attack.

After continuously dribbling to mobilize Curry's defensive center of gravity, he broke through quickly, and Curry followed closely beside Irving.

At this time, because the other four members of the Cavaliers have three-point capabilities, the entire lineup is very wide, and the space under the basket is very wide.

Curry and Irving came to the basket all the way, Irving collected the ball and took off, and Curry took off together.

Although Curry's short hands are difficult to block shots, Irving was also afraid of affecting his layup, so he added another pull-bar action.

bang - swish -

The basketball hits the backboard into the net.

64-63
The possession of the ball was switched again, and the Warriors still served quickly, but this time it was Durant who advanced with the ball.

Durant quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Curry and Clay ran from both sides to the bottom corner. For a while, the three Warriors disrupted the Cavaliers' defensive formation just by running.

Durant also quickly passed the ball to Green. Green did not stop the ball and passed the ball again to Curry who just ran out of a chance.

Curry received the ball and broke through with the ball. After successfully attracting the defense, he passed the ball to Durant again.

At this time, Durant had no defenders in front of him, so Durant made a two-point shot directly.

Swah——

Durant made a solid hit.

64-65
The scores of the two sides rose alternately, making it difficult to tell who had the upper hand.

But after a few more rounds, the situation on the field became obvious.

With more flexible tactics and running, the Warriors successfully took the lead, leading by 6 points in the half quarter.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout in time, and emphasized defense to the players while making substitutions and adjustments.

Soon, the timeout ended, the game continued, and Su Tian came on to replace Korver.

So the Cavaliers lineup became, Irving, Su Tian, ​​JR Smith, James, Love.

As soon as Su Tian came to the field, he felt the speed and rhythm of the Warriors' fifth junior, which was a suffocating feeling.

Irving held the ball and wanted to single Curry, but there was no suitable opportunity, so he had to pass the ball to Su Tian. Clay was defending Su Tian at this time, and Su Tian did not have a suitable opportunity, so he passed the ball to James again.

James got the ball and directly broke through Durant, but was double-teamed by Durant and Iguodala.

So James had to pass the ball to jr Smith, and jr caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

boom--

Basketball strikes iron.

The rebound was taken by Green, and the Warriors started the fast break again.

Su Tian only had time to keep up with Clay, and he had more than enough energy to help defend others.

Su Tian's current defense is very effective in single defense. Whether it is defense with the ball or without the ball, it is very good.

However, the assistance in defense is still relatively insufficient, and it is not as good as it should be.

The Warriors' fast-break ball rotated very quickly, Su Tian only strangled one point, but the other points were alive.

In the end, Curry received a pass from Green and scored a layup.

Although the Cavaliers are at a disadvantage, they are still the defending champions, and the point difference has been kept within 10 points.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Warriors failed to widen the point difference to double digits.

At the end of the first three quarters, the score came to 85-93, and the Warriors temporarily led by 8 points.

Because both sides fought fiercely in the third quarter, the first half of the fourth quarter depends on the depth of the lineups of both sides.

For the Warriors, Livingston, Clay, Clark, David West, Pachulia.

The lineup sent by the Cavaliers is Deron, Su Tian, ​​Korver, Richard Jefferson, and Thompson.

The first ball was given to the Warriors. Livingston took the ball to the frontcourt, faced Deron's defense and began to call on his teammates to play tactical cooperation, and passed the ball to West.

Although West is already a veteran, it has to be said that he still has something to do.

After hitting Jefferson back in a row, he turned around and shot.

bang - swish -

The basketball hits the backboard and bounces into the net.

85-95
The ball was given to the Cavaliers, and Deron took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Facing Clay's defense, Su Tian chose to call Thompson for a pick-and-roll.

Seeing Thompson go out for a pick-and-roll, Pachulia didn't follow, but stood near the free throw line, waiting for an opportunity.

Su Tian came out with the help of a pick-and-roll and directly started a breakthrough. Pachulia wanted to help prevent interference, but his speed was too slow to keep up with Su Tian in time.

Su Tian came all the way to the basket and scored an easy layup.

87-95
The ball is switched, and it is the Warriors' turn to attack again.

This time Livingston wanted to find an offensive opportunity for Clay, but Su Tian followed too closely, and Livingston had to hold the ball to the low post by himself, ready to back Deron.

After trying his back, Livingston turned over and shot a jumper.

Deron defended well, did not give Livingston a chance, and gave plenty of interference.

boom--

Playing basketball, Pachulia wanted to accept the rebound, but Su Tian rushed forward and jumped high to grab the rebound.

The moment he grabbed the rebound and hit the ground, Su Tian quickly burst into a sprint and started a fast break.

At this time, the lineup of the Warriors is not fast, which is a good opportunity for a fast break.

So Su Tian took the lead and came to the front court, with only Livingston behind him in time to keep up.

When Su Tian came to the basket, Livingston stepped forward to interfere with the layup, so Su Tian changed into a European step, shook off Livingston's assist defense interference, and made an easy layup.

89-95
The clarion call for the Cavaliers to chase points has sounded!
The ball was given to the Warriors again, and Livingston took the ball to the frontcourt and called West to prepare for a pick-and-roll tactic.

Livingston used the pick-and-roll to go straight to the basket. Deron was slow and couldn't keep up in time, and Jefferson couldn't keep up with Livingston's speed, so he could only follow in front of West.

So Livingston came all the way to the basket easily and made a layup.

The moment the basketball was just shot, a big hand pressed on the basketball and grabbed the basketball from the air.

"Catch it!! Su Tian caught Sean Livingston!"

Because Livingston's layup intention was too obvious, Su Tian was already prepared, leaped high, and directly caught Livingston!

After winning the basketball, Su Tian turned on the fast break mode again. This time, Livingston, Clay, and Clark all chased after Su Tian.

Both Livingston and Clark had sufficient physical strength, and caught up with Su Tian when Su Tian came to the three-point line in the frontcourt.

So Su Tian made an emergency stop, threw Clark away, and then broke through again. At this time, only Livingston could follow him.

Only this time, Livingston's position was very good, completely blocking Su Tian's way to the basket.

But this time Su Tian didn't force a shot, but a covert pass from behind, which was passed to Thompson who was keeping up.

Thompson received the ball and dunked with both hands.

At this point Thompson's defender, Pachulia, was just getting to the three-point line.

91-95
Under the leadership of Su Tian, ​​the Cavaliers bombed indiscriminately and directly chased the score to only 4 points.

Cole reacted quickly and called a timeout in time.

Although the Warriors scored a goal at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the offensive end went off in the next few rounds, which was not what Cole wanted.

After the timeout, Cole directly brought Durant up and replaced Clark.

Seeing Durant playing, Su Tian knew that the time for abuse was over and the real bloody battle had begun.

As soon as Durant came to the court, he received a pass from Livingston, made a two-pointer and made a steady hit.

91-97
Durant's playing stabilized the situation and opened up the Warriors' offensive end.

But on the defensive end, the Warriors are still in a difficult situation.

Su Tian came to the front court with the ball and called Thompson again for a pick-and-roll. Pachulia didn't leave the basket this time, and was ready to squat to defend Su Tian.

But Su Tian is not James. After Su Tian used the pick-and-roll to break through, he directly made a mid-range jumper.

Swah——

Su Tian made a steady hit from mid-range.

93-97
Seeing Su Tian hit the mid-range, Cole was unmoved, because the efficiency of the mid-range is low and it is not suitable for chasing points.

Of course, if the middle distance can be accurate to a certain extent, it's a different matter, just like Qiao Gangzhu.

But Cole doesn't think that Su Tian has the accuracy of Qiao Gangzhu.

The possession of the ball was changed, this time Durant missed a shot and was interfered by Jefferson's help defense, the basketball hit the iron, and the rebound was snatched by Su Tianchong.

As always, after getting the rebound, Su Tian turned around and started a fast break.

Seeing Su Tian grabbing the rebound and making a fast break, Durant seemed to see his second brother.

After the bonus of the king of the last quarter, Su Tian was very fast, and he came to the frontcourt first, followed by Livingston, Clay and Durant.

There were too many people chasing and defending, and Su Tian couldn't guarantee that he would be able to score. At the same time, he saw Korver coming beyond the three-point line out of the corner of his eye.

So Su Tian passed the ball directly to Korver. Korver and Su Tian did not cooperate very much, but he was deeply impressed by Su Tian's pass.

After all, every off-ball shooter should never forget such a comfortable pass.

So Korver caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Korver hit a three-pointer.

96-97
Only one point left!

If the third quarter is "Warriors' time", then the first half of the fourth quarter is "Su Tian's time"!
The point difference caught up, and Durant didn't want to keep it anymore, so he directly took the ball to the frontcourt, faced Korver's defense, and started a breakthrough after double disguise.

After easily breaking through Korver's defense, he went directly to the basket, blazing the sky, and successfully dunked with one hand!
There was a bang, followed by Durant's roar.

It seemed to be venting the resentment in Durant's heart.

But the Cavaliers didn't care so much. Thompson quickly got the ball, served it quickly, and passed the ball directly across the half court to Su Tian.

Thompson's pass was not very good, but fortunately Su Tian caught it steadily, and got the ball and rushed directly to the basket in the frontcourt.

It was too late to say it, and it was only a few seconds before Durant dunked.

Su Tian returned a split buckle.

When Su Tian received the pass from Thompson, there was no defender in front of him, so Su Tian went directly to the basket to collect the ball and take off.

After leaping high, his body was like a full bow, and with a loud bang, he directly smashed and buckled his hand.

"Sue! Just after Kevin's dunk! A quick counterattack! What is this! Is this a slam dunk contest!"

Although it was the home court of the Warriors at this time, there were also many fans of the Cavaliers and Su Tian, ​​and there were bursts of cheers at the scene.

98-99
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cole quickly called another timeout.

The Cavaliers' bench stepped forward and hugged Su Tian one by one as if they were welcoming heroes.

Tyronn Lue also took advantage of the timeout to bring all the main players such as James and Irving on the field.

After the timeout ended, sure enough, the Warriors also switched to the starting lineup.

But Pachulia was still there.

The time-out is over and the game continues.

Curry slowly came to the frontcourt with the ball. Although Su Tian was full of momentum just now, the Warriors still took the lead, even if they only led by one point.

After Curry came to the frontcourt, he played a pick-and-roll with Green, and directly shot a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll.

Love wanted to go forward to defend, but his footsteps were too slow, and Curry bypassed him with a side-sliding step.

Swah——

For Curry, it is equivalent to an open three-pointer, making a steady hit.

98-102
The Warriors' offensive firepower is so amazing that Su Tian feels a lot of pressure.

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

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

Su Tian received the ball and faced Clay's defense, he still chose to call the pick-and-roll.

Thompson stepped forward to actively pick and roll. This time Pachulia stopped one step behind the free throw line. It seemed that he wanted to prevent both breakthroughs and shots.

Su Tian used the pick-and-roll to break through directly. Seeing Su Tian's posture, Pachulia hurriedly took a big step back.

Seeing Pachulia retreating, Su Tian made an emergency stop, and then shot from the free throw line.

Seeing Su Tianbian's breakthrough into a shot, Pachulia hurried forward to defend the shot, but at this time Su Tian's shot had already been taken, and Pachulia's interference was useless.

Swah——

Su Tian's mid-range hit was steady, which was expected.

However, the next moment was beyond everyone's expectations!

I saw Su Tian hugging his ankle, lying on the floor with a painful face, while Pachulia stood in front of Su Tian with an innocent face.
