NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 71 Win the first game

After being scored by Rose, Tyronn Lue didn't panic at all.

There is still a 7-point difference, and Irving has not played yet, and the opponent's main force consumes too much, and I have the advantage.

The game is still going on, this time Su Tian took the initiative to give the ball to James, wanting to let James play one.

After James broke through with the ball and passed the ball back, Su Tian happened to have an open chance to catch the ball.

Direct three-point shot,

Swah——

Su Tian hit a three-pointer again.

The point difference came to 10 points.

Thibodeau couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout.

Tyronn Lue also took this opportunity to replace Irving, preparing to play the Cavaliers version of the fifth.

The timeout ends and the game begins.

The Bulls served, and Rose continued to hold the ball, but instead of playing singles by himself, he started to organize the offense.

Break through two steps with the help of a screen, and pass to Butler who is making an air cut.

At this time, Su Tian was also closely following Butler, but Butler couldn't find room to make a shot, and passed back to the high-ranking Gasol.

Gasol hesitated for a while when he got the ball, but he didn't make a direct shot. Love caught the opportunity and followed up in time.

Gasol had to pass the ball again to Dunleavy in the bottom corner.

Dunleavy ran out of time when he received the ball. Against James' interference, he directly shot a three-pointer.

boom--

Basketball hit the iron as expected, the rebound was turned around by Love and won.

Irving saw Love take the rebound, turned around and ran up the court, trying to play a fast break.

But being successfully blocked by Rose, Love had no choice but to give the ball to James.

Just being scolded by Thibodeau, Rose doesn't want to lose a ball just after being scolded.

James held the ball steadily and came to the frontcourt. The Bulls have completely retreated and are in place, and the quick offense is impossible.

James called jr pick-and-roll and switched to Dunleavy.

In fact, whether it is Dunleavy or Taj Gibson, the difference is not very big, because neither can be guarded.

It's just that Dunleavy looks thinner.

James' pick-and-roll is not all for changing defenses, but also for breaking the Bulls' defensive deployment.

James stood at the top of the arc, gestured to the rest of the Cavaliers, and motioned for everyone to pull away.

Su Tian and the other three hurriedly moved beyond the three-point line.

Seeing that everyone was almost wide open, James began to break through Dunleavy with the ball.

Dunleavy is tall enough, but his body is incomparable with James, and he was crushed all the way to the basket by James.

The others could only watch anxiously, Owen, Love, and Su Tian couldn't be let go.

Just one jr can be put aside to see the situation, but in this place, jr is the farthest away.

James hit a layup against Dunleavy.

Thibodeau looked at it, frowned, and gestured to the Bulls.

Everyone nodded when they saw it, and Su Tian felt a little bad.

When it was the Bulls' turn to attack, Rose took the ball and started playing directly.

Put into gear directly and start, successfully breaking Owen.

Love was unable to make up the defense inside and was scored by Rose with a layup.

The point difference returned to 10 points.

The Cavaliers attacked, or James held the ball against Dunleavy.

Still starting a breakthrough, Dunleavy was pushed all the way to the basket by James.

After Dunleavy's line of defense was breached, Butler directly double-teamed him, completely ignoring Su Tian who was being air-defended.

From the corner of James' eyes, he saw Butler double-teaming, preparing to pass the ball to Su Tian who was emptied.

But just as he was about to pass the ball, Rose switched over and blocked Su Tian's receiving space.

James urgently changed the direction of the pass and passed it in Irving's direction.

And just when Irving just received the ball, Butler's defense also came to Irving at the same time.

Quick switch!
The Bulls' defense worked.

James had to re-open to the three-point line.

Irving faced Butler, ready to play a single with the ball.

But Butler's defensive strength is indeed strong enough, and Irving missed a jumper with an emergency stop.

Su Tian looked at the Bulls' defense, and the Warriors' infinite defense appeared in his mind.

I have to say that Thibodeau has a good defense.

Use Butler's strong defense and quick rotation to induce James to pass the ball.

Let other people play singles, it is obvious that other people's singles ability is not as threatening as James.

When it was the Bulls' turn to attack, Rose still singled out Irving.

This time Love arrived in time to block Rose's shot space.

But Rose made a small pass to Gasol at the basket, and Gasol caught the ball and made a direct shot.

Rose assists +1.

The two sides returned to the 8-point difference.

Cavaliers seem to be not so stable.

James continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and broke through Dunleavy in singles.

This time, Rose came to double-team, James made a false pass, Butler was deceived and ran in the direction of Irving.

With a flick of James' wrist, the basketball was passed in the direction of Su Tian, ​​who Butler had just left.

Butler just changed his center of gravity and came to Irving's position. It is unrealistic to rush back.

Ross had no choice but to rush to Su Tian's direction.

Su Tian didn't stop after receiving the ball, and directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian hit a three-pointer.

The point difference returned to 11 points.

James and his four pitchers cracked the Bulls' defensive tactics of only one round.

The two teams played until the end with 1 minute left, and the point difference was still hovering around 10 points.

Thibodeau was helpless, called a timeout, replaced the main force, and was ready to accept the defeat.

Tyronn Lue also replaced the Cavaliers' main force and put on the bench.

Soon, the game is over.

The Cavaliers beat the Bulls 110-101.

Su Tian scored 23 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.

James scored 31 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds, and got a quasi-triple double.

Rose had 25 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds.

The Cavaliers successfully won the first game against the Bulls.

After this game, the outside world also gave some comments about the game.

"Derrick is no longer the original mvp, he can't stop James at all."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"..."

"Although I recognize LeBron's greatness, Derek is not so easy to beat. I feel that they have to play a tiebreaker to decide the winner."

Regardless of the evaluation from the outside world, at least this game, the Cavaliers won.

As for the next game, let's leave it to the time of the next game.

The next day, Su Tian slept until noon.

In the afternoon, come to the arena for training.

Tyronn Lue led everyone to replay the last game and pointed out a few questions.

Finally, the focus is on the defensive tactics that the Bulls finally showed up.

During training, Tyronn Lue also made special arrangements for the Bulls' defensive tactics.

Probably the solution is similar to the "James and his four pitchers" that appeared in the last game.

It's just that after the drill, it becomes smoother and the response is more timely.

On May 5, the day after the Cavaliers finished the game, there was a game between the Eagles and the Wizards.

The Eagles defeated the Wizards 106-90, and Wall was affected by injuries and failed to play.

Finally, someone on the Eagles scored 20 points. Carroll scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

On May 5, the second game between the Cavaliers and the Bulls came.
