NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 245 People Always Grow
Su Tian dunked twice in a row, chasing the point difference to 1 point, and the score came to 64-65
James began to take the ball, and signaled to his teammates to lower the tempo, slow down and hit the ball steadily.

James came to the frontcourt with the ball, and relying on his personal ability, he made a strong hit and made a successful hit.

64-67
James in this period, as long as I want to get in, no one can stop me.

Then the two teams began to fight each other, and the shooting rate began to drop. The reason for the drop in the shooting rate was not that everyone's level had dropped, but that the two sides began to seek stability and the defensive strength increased.

The two teams remained in a stalemate until halfway through the third quarter, and the point difference still did not change much. Taking advantage of the dead ball, Wharton took down Su Tian and replaced him with a rotation player.

Walton is preparing for the fourth quarter, while James also rests.

James is strong, but he is not Superman. If he can rest, it is better to rest.

When the leading stars of both sides are not on the court, it depends on the rotation players and the second leading players of both sides.

The Cavaliers have Wade, Jeff Green, and Korver on the bench, and the Lakers have Kuzma, Clarkson, and Pope.

Among them, Kuzma's performance is eye-catching, even more eye-catching than Ball, and his ability to seize opportunities is very strong.

And Clarkson's offense with the ball, including breaking through and scoring, has also done a lot.

The young and strong Lakers are full of momentum. Facing the combination of experienced senior stars, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Soon, the third quarter ended, the score came to 86-92, and the Lakers were temporarily behind by 6 points.

Before Su Tianxia, ​​the Lakers were 3 points behind. After Su Tianxia, ​​the Lakers were 6 points behind. That is to say, even if Su Tian was not there, the Lakers would only lose by 3 points. This was completely within Su Tian's acceptable range.

In the fourth quarter, Su Tian turned on the plug-in, so he might not be able to overtake the score and turn defeat into victory.

The Cavaliers naturally also knew Su Tian's characteristics. James took a rest in the third quarter to prepare for dealing with Su Tian now.

During the break between festivals, the commentary seats are also extremely lively.

"This is Sue's first return to Cleveland this season. Do you think he is going to make a big news?" Barkley said.

"Big news? What big news? Scored the game-winning goal against James' defense? How about this script?" Kenny Smith said.

"Oh ho ho ho ho! That's really big news, but it's not so friendly to James!" O'Neal said.

"Let's keep it simple. We all know that Su will chase points in the fourth quarter, so who will win this game?" Barkley said.

"Oh! Is it Sue's success in chasing points, or LeBron's success in defending the team? This is a question." Kenny Smith said.

"I think it's Sue, because the point difference is not big, and I have confidence in Sue." Barkley said.

"In this case, then I support LeBron." O'Neal said immediately.

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

Because in the third quarter, both sides brought out the main players other than the star players, so the first half of the fourth quarter required substitute players to come on the field.

The Lakers took out, Josh Hart, Su Tian, ​​Kuzma, Randall, Nance.

The Cavaliers took out Wade, Korver, James, Jeff Green, and Sadie Osman.

In the fourth quarter, the first ball was given to the Lakers. Hart held the ball for half court and passed it to Su Tian.

As soon as Su Tian got the ball, Korver's defense began to increase. After Su Tian avoided Korver's stealer, he broke through Korver's defense with a sudden burst.

Breaking through Korver, this is the first line of defense, followed by James who came to help defend, and Jeff Green.

Su Tian dribbled the ball to avoid Jeff Green, but did not get rid of James' defense, so Su Tian hit the ground and passed the ball to Kuzma who was emptied outside.

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

Swah——

With Su Tian's bonus, such an open three-pointer can be pinched.

89-92
James was very surprised at the angle Su Tian passed. From James' point of view, there was no angle for the ball to pass, but it happened that Su Tian found it.

"Be careful, Sue's passing is more terrifying than his shooting." James turned to another help defender Jeff Green and said.

The possession of the ball was changed, and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Wade came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Hart's defense, Wade wanted to play one himself.

But Hart's defense was very active, and one followed Wade. Wade's breakthrough did not throw off the defender at all. The two went all the way to the basket, and Wade forced a shot.

boom--

Wade missed a layup, the rebound was taken by Nance, and the ball was passed directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and began to push and switch offenses. James hurried to defend and block. When Su Tian entered the three-point line of the frontcourt with the ball, James finally caught up with Su Tian.

However, the Cavaliers were only chased by James.

Seeing James running to defend himself, Su Tian directly passed the ball to Randall, who was unguarded, and Randall caught the ball and made a layup.

91-92
Su Tian made two consecutive assists in the fourth quarter, chasing the point difference to 1 point.

The ball was given to the Cavaliers again. This time James held the ball and pushed forward. After coming to the frontcourt, he directly forced Randall to the middle distance, and then stopped and shot a jumper.

Swah——

91-94
As he got older, James' shooting became more and more stable.

Seeing that James made a strong hit, Su Tian was unambiguous. He also started to hit Korver with the ball and hit a jumper with an emergency stop.

93-94
The scores of the two sides were locked, and James wanted to widen the gap, but Su Tian wanted to catch up with the overtake score, and the two sides refused to give in.

After several rounds in a row, there was no real competition, and Tyronn Lue called a timeout.

The Cavaliers called for a timeout, not because they had found a way to deal with Su Tian, ​​but because they wanted to replace all the main players here and start a decisive battle with the Lakers.

The same is true for the Lakers, who are ready to use their entire main lineup to compete with the Cavaliers.

For the Cavaliers, Calderon, jr Smith, Jae Crowder, James, Love.

For the Lakers, Ball, Su Tian, ​​Ingram, Nance, Lopez.

The task of defending James is still too exhausting. The Lakers chose a wheel battle. Randall, Kuzma, and Nance played against James respectively.

But James came back with the first ball and made a direct layup in the face of Nance and caused Nance to foul, making Nance pay the tuition as soon as he made the match.

Turning his head, Su Tian continued to drive his teammates with the ball, broke through with the ball to attract double-teams, and passed the ball to Ingram on the outside.

Ingram made a three-pointer.

boom--

Basketball hit the iron, but the rebound was grabbed by Lopez, and the ball was given to Su Tian again.

Su Tian received the ball and made a mid-range shot. He hit it easily, but the score between the two sides still couldn't be opened.

For several rounds in succession, both sides did not widen the point difference, and persisted until 3 minutes before the end of the game, the score came to 110-112, and the Lakers were still 2 points behind for the time being.

At this time, the Lakers had the ball. Ball came to the frontcourt with the ball and did not pass the ball directly to Su Tian. Instead, he took the opportunity to cooperate with Lopez in the pick-and-roll, held the ball to the basket, and successfully made a quick layup.

112-112
Ball steals the chicken with the ball and successfully scores!

Su Tian was strictly guarded by the Cavaliers and heavily guarded, which did give other players a chance to steal chickens, but Ball dared to do this, which is a good job.

The ball is converted, and the Cavaliers attack.

Now every ball is a crucial key ball, James holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt.

Facing Nance's defense, James called Love for a pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, James advanced and made a mid-range jumper.

The emergency stop jump shot is undoubtedly a relatively labor-saving way to score, but it requires relatively high shooting accuracy. Even James, the shooting rate is not very high.

boom--

Lao Zhan made a shot and the rebound was snatched by Su Tianchong.

Su Tian, ​​who got the rebound, took the opportunity to start a defensive counterattack and started a fast break with the ball.

James was exhausted and couldn't keep up this time, so Su Tian took the lead and dunked with both hands.

114-112
After the Lakers' goal, they officially overtook the score!

After receiving the serve, James gestured towards his teammates, which meant to press the rhythm and hit the success rate.

James still has the ability to control the field, and in the face of such a situation, he can control it with ease.

After coming to the frontcourt, James singled Nance with the ball. James relied on more flexible changes to successfully shake Nance away and scored a layup.

114-114
The game was tied with 2 minutes left.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack again. Su Tian held the ball and came to the frontcourt. James switched defenses directly and came to Su Tian.

Seeing James defending himself, Su Tian didn't dare to be careless, and called Nance for a pick-and-roll.

Su Tian used the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside, James quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and followed Su Tian closely, and the two rushed to the basket all the way.

After arriving at the basket, Su Tian collected the ball and was about to make a layup. At the same time, James behind him also jumped up, apparently wanting to give Su Tian a big cap.

How could Su Tian, ​​who is familiar with James, be hated by James as a background board, so he retracted the ball to his waist in the air, and then connected a pull-bar action to score a layup.

116-114
Avoiding James' block and scoring this goal, in Su Tian's view, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

This means that Su Tian in the fourth quarter is enough to wrestle with James.

Moreover, as time goes by, his ability must gradually surpass James.

In the next few rounds, the game began to be intermittent, but the score has not changed much.

Until the last 20 seconds, James broke through and caused Nance to foul, and made two free throws. The score came to 119-119. The two teams tied again, and the Lakers called a timeout.

Su Tian returned to the bench and listened to Wharton's tactical arrangements.

After Wharton finished speaking, he looked at Su Tian, ​​"Su, is there anything else that needs to be added?"

After Su Tian heard it, he stood up and looked at the coach and his teammates in a circle and said, "Give me the ball, and I'll make a super jumper, that's all."

After Su Tian finished speaking, he quickly took a sip of water to pretend to be calm.

At this time, the coaches and players were all stunned, and Wharton could only smile.

Soon, the timeout ends and the game continues.

Nance served the ball, and Su Tian finally got the ball before the timer expired with the help of his teammates' continuous cover.

After getting the ball, Su Tian observed the Cavaliers' defense while dribbling the ball. Of course, Su Tian didn't need to observe so much at this time, purely just to confuse the Cavaliers.

Su Tian has been dribbling the ball to keep time until there are only about 5 seconds left. At that time, Su Tiancai started to start, making a gesture of breaking through.

At this time, it was JR Smith who was defending Su Tian, ​​and he quickly retreated, but Su Tian just stepped over the three-point line with one foot, and then withdrew again, smoothly connecting a retreat step and making a three-point shot.

The moment Su Tian shot, there was only one second left in the time, and immediately before the basketball hit the net, the red light turned on.

Swah——

The next moment, the basketball hits the net!

122-119
"Lore! Su lore killed the Cavaliers! Su actually chose a three-pointer! I have to say this is unreasonable, but he just scored!" Barkley said excitedly.

"Before we were still predicting whether Su would make a big news, but looking at it now, Su did make a big news!" Kenny Smith said.

At this time, Su Tian, ​​who made the lore shot, just had a faint smile on his face, and hugged James who was walking towards him.

"Nice job, boy."

"Of course, LeBron."

After embracing James, Su Tian walked towards Tyronn Lue.

"Coach Lu, I'm sorry, I forgot to show mercy haha." Su Tian said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Su, you won't be so lucky next time, just wait, kid." Tai Lun responded with a smile.

Then Su Tian hugged Le Fu, Smith and others to say goodbye.

In the end, the game ended and the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 122-119.

苏天全场39分12助攻8篮板2抢断1盖帽，被评为全场最佳。

In addition to Su Tian, ​​the best performer of the Lakers was Ingram, who scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, which is quite the strength of a star.

The best performer on the bench was Kuzma, who scored 20 points and 7 rebounds, which is considered a rare talent for the Lakers' bench.

For the Cavaliers, James scored a triple-double of 28 points, 12 assists and 12 rebounds. He is the only core of the Cavaliers and controls the team's possession of the ball.

In addition, Love also scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists. He can be regarded as the temporary core when James is not on the court, taking on the role of the team's second leader.

Except for these two, the performance of the Cavaliers is not satisfactory. The overall strength of the Cavaliers is significantly different from last season.

If the Cavaliers want to rely on the current lineup to hit the championship, it can only be said that it is very difficult.

After the game, Su Tian's whole body seemed to be falling apart. The strength of the two teams was too great, as if they were playing in the playoffs. Su Tian was very tired, but Su Tian still had to participate in the team's post-match game. interview.

"Sue, this is your first time back in Cleveland this season, is there anything you want to say to the city and the fans?"

"Cleveland is where I started in the NBA, where I won a championship, became an All-Star and an All-NBA team. There is no doubt that Cleveland is a special place for me. I love it and I love it. I like the fans here, because even if I am gone, they still remember me and are willing to cheer for me. I am very grateful to them. However, people always grow, don’t they.”
