NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 46

Parker held the ball to face Su Tian's defensive cover and still couldn't play a good effect, so Parker sent the ball to Leonard in time.

But Leonard is not easy to play against James' defense now, and he gave the ball to Duncan who was standing inside.

Facing Mozgov, who was defending him, Duncan didn't have the consciousness of an old man at all. He hit the back twice, turned around and hit the board.

Duncan hit the board steadily.

In this way, the first quarter ended with the two sides evenly matched, and the Cavaliers trailed by one point 30-31.

Facing the Spurs, James performed poorly as always, but Irving was impressive this time, scoring 11 points and 1 assist in a single quarter.

Su Tian also has 6 points in the account, but the time that really belongs to Su Tian has just begun.

Intersection ends and the second quarter begins.

It is still Su Tian and Love leading the bench lineup. Although Su Tian did not activate the king of the final cheat, Su Tian's own strength should not be underestimated.

Duncan on the Spurs side also rested, with Parker and Manu present.

Su Tian came up to defend Parker first, and then continued to play pick-and-roll cooperation with Love on the offensive end. However, the Spurs lacked Duncan's protection inside, making Su Tian's breakthrough full of holes.

Before Su Tian had enough fun on the court, Popovich called a timeout, and then replaced Duncan on the court.

Su Tian: This old man doesn't talk about martial arts, and bullies me, a 19-year-old rookie.

Although Duncan was old, Su Tian, ​​who hadn't played yet, didn't dare to take the initiative to challenge Duncan's defense.

Su Tian uses Love's range and pick-and-roll to pass more assists, or the mid-range after the pick-and-roll.

In this way, the old Duncan's pace is slow, and the effect is not bad, but the middle distance is still a bit unstable in normal state.The hit rate was barely maintained at [-]%.

The two sides played 33-30 in the second quarter, and the Spurs scored 3 more points.

At halftime, the two sides were 60-64, with the Spurs leading by 4 points.

During the half-time break, Tyronn Lue affirmed his offensive strategy, fast-paced offense, so that the old dude Duncan couldn't stop.

The halftime break ends and the third quarter begins.

Su Tian sat on the sidelines as usual. Generally speaking, if there were no accidents, Su Tian would stay in the fourth quarter to play.

Su Tian was still very nervous. After all, the Spurs are not easy to play, they are too strict against James, and the Cavaliers are still behind.

However, Su Tian only worried for a while, and Su Tian's expression gradually changed from worry to surprise, and then to surprise.

The second leader of the Cavaliers, Irving, made 4 of 4 three-pointers in the third quarter and scored 22 points in a single quarter!
Please forgive Su Tian for being a fake fan. It turns out that Irving was so cowhide when he was cowhide.

Relying on Owen's fairy performance, the Cavaliers scored 33-20 in a single quarter, and the score came to 93-84. The Cavaliers not only completed the overtake, but also led the Spurs by 9 points.

However, there are spurs in the locker room with the rock-beating theory, so it is not so easy to be hit.

Whether it's James or Tyronn Lue, or even Irving, who just played a fairy performance, they didn't let down their vigilance. Everyone is an adult, who would play the show of opening champagne at halftime.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, as expected, the Spurs are still active on the court, even more active than the first three quarters.

And the Spurs' Dinghaishenzhen, Duncan is still on the court.

Popovich didn't regard Duncan as a veteran, but thought he was the No. 21 rookie.

The fourth quarter of the Cavaliers has just started, Irving is still resting off the court, Su Tian, ​​James and Love are on the court.

Su Tian came up to find Love to play the pick-and-roll for the first ball, without paying any attention to James. It wasn't that Su Tian thought he could do it, but that's what James told Su Tian.

"Su, all the defensive pressure and attention of the Spurs are on me now. After you come on the field, don't hesitate to play by yourself. I will cover you. If you can't play, give me again. Uh, but don't give me the buzzer." ah."

With James' arrangement, Su Tian dared to be so presumptuous.

Su Tian used Love's pick-and-roll to break through to the inside. In the first three quarters, he was scared when he saw Duncan, but now it is different.

I'm going to hang up on you, my lord!

Facing Duncan's help defense, Su Tian forced a European step, leaning against Duncan, swaying a little gap, took off and then caught the lever, making a difficult layup.

And Duncan, who was used to Su Tian's counseling in the first three quarters, hadn't reacted yet, and the goal had already been scored.

Su Tian, ​​who suddenly became stronger, gave Duncan a strong sense of discomfort and crisis.

Duncan vaguely felt that this rookie is not easy, and the future may be his.

Su Tian, ​​who scored a layup, didn't care about Duncan's thoughts, but followed the Cavaliers to quickly return to defense.

Parker continued to hold the ball. This time Parker saw Su Tian defending himself, instead of playing hard by himself, he looked for team cooperation.

After a while of tactical moves, he finally gave the ball to Manu on the wing, and Manu held the ball to face Smith.

The old demon knife is still extremely sharp, no, to be precise, the old demon knife is sharper than Smith's nerve knife.

Manu easily broke through Smith's defense, Love wanted to help defend and was stuck by Duncan, Manu easily scored a layup.

Turning around, the Spurs still focused on James' defense.

Su Tian, ​​who was advancing with the ball, glanced at James, and James returned a gesture, signaling Su Tian to continue to follow the tactics.

Seeing this, Su Tian was unambiguous, and continued to break through Parker with the ball. Parker couldn't stop Su Tian's breakthrough at all.

And Duncan's position at this time was closer to James' side, and it was too late to help defend Su Tian's direction.

After Su Tian seized Parker's position, he kept pressing Parker with his body to prevent Parker from coming forward.

All the way to the basket, Su Tianqiang made a layup.

For Su Tian, ​​who was hanging out in the fourth quarter, the old Parker was not enough in terms of speed or strength.

Then the two sides attacked and defended each other for a few more rounds. Su Tian was always able to respond to the Spurs' goals, and the point difference between the two sides was stalemate.

With 5 minutes left in the game, Popovich called a timeout, and it was time to start arranging tactics and play the decisive moment.

As for the Cavaliers, although James is still guarded by the Spurs, under the leadership of Su Tian, ​​he still maintains an 8-point difference.

Seeing that Irving was about to rest, Tyronn Lue began to switch to the full main lineup, and replaced Mozgov, using the five minors.

After a season of training and research on the five small lineups, the Cavaliers' lineup has become more and more proficient, and the cooperation has become more and more tacit.

It can already be used as a routine method, or even a killer weapon in some special moments, such as now.

Duncan has played 36 minutes so far. If the next time is played, Duncan's playing time will exceed 40 minutes.

This is undoubtedly very dangerous for a veteran.

And Tai Lue's idea is also very simple, just beat him to jog!
The timeout ends, the game begins, and players from both teams enter the field.

Popovich saw the Cavaliers' lineup and thought it was bad.

Quickly signaled Parker to pay attention to controlling the rhythm.

Parker received the ball and cooperated with Leonard. James' pursuit was blocked by Duncan, and Leonard made a layup.

When it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, Love quickly served the ball to Irving, and Irving ran forward after receiving the ball.

But the Spurs returned to defense fairly quickly and failed to make it. Irving then called Love for a pick-and-roll, and Duncan had to keep up considering Love's three-pointer.

Owen took the opportunity to break through to the empty inside line, and Ginobili on the side had no choice but to help defend the past.

Owen saw Manu Ginobili switch over, and secretly hit the ground and passed the ball to Su Tian.

At this time, Su Tian had a brief space open, shot directly and hit a three-pointer.

At this time, Danny Green's defense was long overdue.
