NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 331 James hides clumsiness and targets Su Tian
Anthony tried his best and finally scored the goal.

George was shaken badly, but George will be wary when dealing with Anthony next time.

The ball returned to the Lakers. Su Tian wanted to repeat his old tricks this time, but the Cavaliers began to double-team Su Tian.

So Su Tian quickly passed the ball to Butler who came out of the running position.

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

Swah——

Driven by Su Tian, ​​Butler, who was not good at three-pointers, is now a threat to three-pointers.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian was still double-teamed by the Cavaliers, but Su Tian didn't panic at all, and used the defense he attracted to assist his teammates.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides entered an official timeout for substitution adjustments.

In terms of the strength of the bench, the Cavaliers' bench is no match for the Lakers, so what the Cavaliers can do is increase the playing time of the starting main force.

So the Cavaliers can still play back and forth with the Lakers.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 31-27, and the Lakers temporarily led by 4 points.

Although the score difference is not big, the Lakers have been firmly in the lead throughout the first quarter, and their suppression of the Cavaliers is still relatively obvious.

Soon, at the beginning of the second quarter, Su Tian rested, George came to lead the team, James on the Cavaliers side also rested, and Anthony led the team.

If it is against other teams, Anthony can fully cope with the rotation time period, but now the opponent is the Lakers, George is not something that ordinary players can win.

So under the leadership of George, the Lakers continued to steadily suppress the Cavaliers.

Anthony wanted to use his personal ability to drive the team several times, but was blocked by George.

After playing for 5 minutes in the second quarter, Su Tian played again. At this time, the point difference had reached 8 points. In order for the Cavaliers to avoid further expansion of the point difference, James played again.

The simultaneous playing of James and Su Tian also means that the confrontation between the two teams has once again escalated.

Although the intensity of the confrontation between the two teams continues to escalate, James and Su Tian have never formed a direct confrontation.

Su Tian is aware of his own family affairs. The Lakers already have the lead, and they will be blessed in the fourth quarter, so Su Tian is not in a hurry.

As for why James is not in a hurry, it is not clear.

Soon, the first half ended, 60-51 ended the first half.

Thanks to James' continuous efforts, the point difference was indeed controlled to single digits, but it was just the largest single digit.

"Judging from the first half of the game, the Cavaliers and the Lakers are almost neck and neck. Now the Lakers have a slight advantage, but I always feel that LeBron has not fully exerted his strength." Barkley said during the intermission.

"Yes, I have the same feeling, maybe LeBron really has any consideration." Kenny - Smith said.

At this time, in the locker room of the Cavaliers.

"LeBron, how is it? Is there any problem with your physical strength?" Tyronn Lue asked with concern.

"No problem coach." James nodded.

Hearing James' reply, Tyronn Lue was relieved.

In the first half, James did not use his full strength as Barkley guessed. This is also the strategy after James and Tyronn Lue discussed it, mainly to target Su Tian.

Everyone knows Su Tian's performance in the fourth quarter, so in order to deal with Su Tian in that period, James deliberately reserved, and wanted to save his physical strength to deal with Su Tian in the end.

The intermission ended quickly, and the third quarter began.

Both sides have replaced the entire main lineup by coincidence.

However, the game was still dominated by the Lakers. Su Tian took the lead, and Clarkson succeeded in consecutive singles.

After attracting the Cavaliers' defense and double-teaming, Su Tian began to switch to off-ball tactics, and the team's organization was handed over to Butler and George.

Su Tian only played half a quarter on the court before taking a break, and handed over the time and the stage to Butler and George.

Because James wanted to preserve his strength, he also followed Su Tian to take a rest. The more responsibilities and burdens on the court could only be placed on Anthony.

Of course, Love and Clarkson are also helping Anthony share the pressure, but they are obviously not as good as the combination of Butler and George.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference had reached 12 points.

Although the 12-point difference can catch up in one quarter, Su Tian's state on the Lakers' side must also be considered.

During the break during the festival, James has almost recovered his physical strength and is full of confidence.

As for the Lakers, although Wharton was very worried, he still chose the usual lineup under Su Tian's suggestion.

Brunson, Su Tian, ​​Kuzma, Wood, Boucher.

Considering James' attributes, Walton still made small adjustments to the lineup.

The first ball was given to the Lakers in the fourth quarter, and Su Tian pushed forward with the ball to the frontcourt.

In the first three quarters, James did not match up with Su Tian. Even if Su Tian succeeded in singles against Clarkson in a row, James only helped defend him.

Now in the fourth quarter, James was in front of Su Tian in just the first round.

"It's right! It's right! LeBron and Sue are right!" Barkley said excitedly.

"After waiting for a while, the two finally met. Audience friends can get their tickets back this time."

Su Tian was also surprised when he saw James defending himself, but then he adjusted his state.

"LeBron, sometimes you get old, don't force it."

Hearing that Su Tian was still in the mood to talk trash, James was not polite.

"It's more than enough to deal with you."

Hearing this, Su Tian stopped talking nonsense and lowered his center of gravity to cross dribble.

This starting position is an action used by many breakthrough players, and it is also one of the actions Su Tian often uses.

But this time Su Tian didn't make a breakthrough, or in other words, Su Tian used the breakthrough as a cover.

Su Tian first burst out and rushed to the right, but as soon as he took a further step, Su Tian took a big step back and returned to the outside of the three-point line, directly shooting a three-pointer.

James' reaction was fast enough, but it still didn't interfere with Su Tian's shooting.

Swah——

Su Tian made a steady three-pointer.

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

James himself advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

In the previous round, James took the initiative to defend himself, and Su Tian naturally wouldn't give up, so he took the initiative to come to the top of the arc to face James.

"Su also went up! The two of them are not giving in at all!"

"Wonderful, so wonderful! This is what fans want to see most now!"

James seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and was not surprised by Su Tian's defense at all. Instead, he became more cautious when dribbling the ball, and his ball protection movements became better.

"It seems that LeBron also knows that Su's stealing ability has greatly increased recently! LeBron's news is really well-informed." Barkley couldn't help but said.

Facing this situation, Su Tian is naturally not good at stealing, but relatively, James has fewer means available.

So, James turned his back and started hitting back directly.

"Start playing back from the three-point line? This is inappropriate. Besides, Su's defense is not bad."

Competing for strength alone, Su Tian is indeed no match for James, not to mention that James is still well rested at this time.

Su Tian retreated all the way to the low post with consecutive back shots. James saw that his position was almost there, so he turned around and made jump shots.James' fadeaway jumper still takes off on one foot, similar to the independent action of a golden rooster.

Swah——

Still an awkward movement, still a precise hit.

The difference is that this time the opponent is Su Tian.

At this time, Su Tian looked at James with a serious expression. According to Su Tian's improved defensive strength in the fourth quarter, most people really can't score.

As for James just now, while activating "Defensive Deterrence", he actually made a precise shot. This made Su Tian feel that James is really extraordinary.

The ball was returned to the Lakers again, and Su Tian continued to push forward with the ball and faced James again.

"LeBron, I have to say, I underestimated you."

"Really, it seems that you don't know me enough."

Su Tian nodded slightly, and said, "It's true that you don't know enough, but you certainly don't know me enough."

As soon as Su Tian finished speaking, he turned his back and broke through directly.

Su Tian's flexibility is much higher than that of James. When James turned around to chase, Su Tian had already run two steps away.

At this moment, Su Tian, ​​who was unstoppable, went straight to the basket, collected the ball and took off, and with a bang, he dunked with both hands.

"This is a response from Su!!"

"The atmosphere between the two is too strong! You know, two years ago, Su was still trying to help LeBron! Su's growth is terrible!"

Seeing Su Tian flexibly turn around and directly succeed in dunking, James also shook his head helplessly. James really can't defend against this kind of ball. As he gets older, the flexibility that he is not good at is even worse now.

The next few rounds were like a replica of these rounds, with Su Tian and James one by one.

It's just that Su Tian and James are all-round representatives, so they will also assist and pass the ball. They don't take all the shots themselves, but the offense must be initiated from themselves.

For several consecutive rounds, the audience was very happy to see it, and the two of them fought very well, but Tyronn Lue was not happy at all.

Because the point difference between the two teams has not changed much!In other words, James tried his best to preserve his strength, and now he and Su Tian have formed an exchange!

So Tyronn Lue had to break this beautiful scene and called a timeout.

"LeBron, we can't go on like this! We must find a way to catch up with the score! If we don't chase points, the main force of the Lakers will be rested!"

James nodded upon hearing this.

"The coach I know, it's just, it's just that no one can fight against Su except me. If I don't restrict him, no one can restrain him."

"LeBron, I know this is not easy to do, but you have to persevere, you have to be more focused!"

James just nodded this time and didn't speak again.

At this point in the game, the competition is not just about tactics.

More is the star's own control over the situation, and the star's own ability to handle the ball.

The timeout ended and the two sides played again.

Both sides have made simple adjustments, but neither has taken full advantage of the main force.

After the game started again, James no longer struggled with the matchup with Su Tian, ​​but began to pay more attention to the efficiency of scoring.

On the defensive end, James is still ahead of Su Tian.

No way, at this stage, the Cavaliers have no better candidate to defend Su Tian except James.

Second, Su Tian's side is even more relaxed. Su Tian just needs to ensure that the Lakers keep scoring goals and don't let the point difference get closer.

After playing a few rounds like this, Wharton took the initiative to call a timeout.

The score difference at this time was still hovering around 10 points, and the Cavaliers seemed to be at their wits end.

After this timeout, as expected, the Lakers took the entire main lineup.

At this time, there are only about 5 minutes left before the end of the game, and the Lakers are about to start harvesting the game.

The Cavaliers also replaced the entire main lineup.

"LeBron, the Cavaliers have no chance, give up."

Although Su Tian said this with a smile, James felt that it was extremely cold.

"Yeah, Cleveland may really have no chance, but I will not allow him to lose in my hands."

"At the very least, I'll let Cleveland shine one last time before I go."

The ball was given to the Lakers, Su Tian took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to George.

George got the ball and was ready to single Anthony.

But George's pull-up jumper missed the basket and the rebound was taken by James.

James, who took the rebound, went straight to the front and started the fast break directly.

This style of play is the most familiar to the Lakers, and they will naturally have a corresponding awareness of prevention, but James' sprint is too powerful, and no one dares to step forward to stop it.

Su Tian chased for two steps, and gave up after finding that he couldn't catch up.

bang——

After James came to the frontcourt, he directly smashed and dunked with one hand.

"LeBron! James! Slam dunk!!!"

"My God! This is LeBron! A dragon who grabs rebounds! Who would have thought that he is already in his 30s!"

James' attack undoubtedly directly detonated the arena, even though this is the Lakers' home court, James was still shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.

Faced with this situation, Su Tian naturally wanted to show his prestige as the leader of the Lakers.

So Su Tian got the ball again, and after coming to the frontcourt, he singled James directly.

This time James thought that Su Tian was still going to retreat, so he made preparations in advance.

But I didn't expect that Su Tian's breakthrough was particularly resolute this time, and he rushed to the basket without hesitation.

At this time, there is still a Love under the basket trying to block Su Tian.

Seeing Le Fu under the basket, Su Tian could only say silently in his heart: "I'm sorry, old man."

After saying this, Su Tian took off directly!

This time it's not a jump, it's a takeoff!

At this time, Le Fu at the basket regretted blocking Su Tian, ​​and at the same time secretly cursed Su Tian in his heart.

"This family talk, engage in sneak attacks! Don't respect me, an old player! Don't talk about martial arts!"

Although he cursed in his heart, he could only watch Su Tian take off, and then there was a loud noise.

bang——

"OMG! OMG! Dunk! Su Ge dunked his old teammate Love!"

"Look, Le Fu was knocked to the ground by Su, and Su actually reached out and pulled Le Fu up, hahaha!"

"Their relationship seems to be really good, but I don't know if Su will be beaten in private hahaha."
