NBA’s aging star system

Ginobili held the ball against Jr. Smith. Jr. had a mentality of gaining wisdom after every loss, always paying attention to whether someone would come to pick and roll.

But Ginobili did not call a pick-and-roll this time. Instead, he took advantage of Jr. Smith's lack of concentration and directly broke through Jr.'s side.

Jr. Smith didn't have time to complain about Ginobili's lack of martial ethics, so he turned around and chased after him.

Ginobili went straight to the basket and attempted a European step layup.

But Mozgov under the basket has been waiting for a long time. During normal team training, he was often deceived by Su Tian's European steps, and he had already been deceived out of experience.

But Ginobili was also in a state where he had to take action, so he had no choice but to rely on Mozgov and force the shot.

boom--

The basketball is crisp and clear.

Mozgov turned around, grabbed the rebound, and passed the ball to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and turned around to start a fast break.

James also wanted to follow, but Leonard stopped him in time.

So Su Tian went straight to the opponent's basket alone, and only Parker could barely keep up with Su Tian's speed.

After Su Tian came to the basket, he took a European step and shot for a layup.

Parker also wanted to interfere, but there was not only a height difference, but also a difference in wingspan and jumping.

Su Tian's layup was easily hit.

29-22

Seeing that the Cavaliers' fast break was easily completed, Popovich couldn't help but cursed on the sidelines.

But even though Popovich scolded him harshly, he still didn't call a timeout.

Parker once again came to the frontcourt with the ball. This time Parker did not pass the ball to others, but called his teammates to prepare a tactic.

In the end, after continuous tactical moves, Ginobili came up with an air-cutting opportunity and received a pass from Leonard for a layup.

29-24

Popovich saw the Spurs score and returned to his seat. I thought I could be quiet for a while.

Turning around, it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball, and with the help of Love's pick-and-roll, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Parker's height, wingspan and bounce cannot form any effective interference.

Swah——

Su Tian hit a three-pointer directly.

32-24

The score difference reached 8 points, and Popovich raised his hand to call a timeout.

This timeout is obviously to turn on the hair dryer to irritate people.

Tyronn Lue also took this opportunity to start some fine-tuned substitutions.

Tyronn Lue took Jr. and replaced Dellavedova.

Tyronn Lue found that Dellavedova is more suitable to partner with Su Tian.

Because Dellavedova's defense is better, he can share part of the defensive pressure with Su Tian. On the offensive end, he will not fight for Su Tian's ball rights. With Su Tian leading the way, Dellavedova's positioning shots are enough. .

Soon, the timeout ended and the game continued.

After returning to the court again, Su Tian found that the Spurs had also made substitutions, taking out Parker and replacing him with Mills.

Perhaps considering Parker's age and physical strength, Su Tian didn't think too much and instead turned his attention to Ginobili.

Su Tian still remembered that he had several matches with Ginobili last year, when he was still relatively immature.

Now, it's time for "revenge".

Mills advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and handed the ball to Leonard.

Leonard got the ball and started calling his teammates for pick-and-rolls.

Leonard used the pick-and-roll, took two steps inside, and then shot a jumper directly.

boom--

Leonard's shot was seriously interfered with by James, and Love got the rebound.

The moment they saw Love grab the rebound, James and Su Tian broke out and rushed forward.

Love passed the ball and found Su Tian accurately.

Su Tian got the ball, but before he could make a few dribbles, Ginobili got into trouble.

Su Tian was naturally not afraid of entanglement, but he obviously had a better choice.

Su Tian quickly passed the ball to James before Ginobili could even react.

At this time, James was already two steps ahead of Leonard. He immediately took off the ball and succeeded in a layup.

34-24

After a timeout, the point difference not only did not narrow, but also widened to double digits.

Popovich couldn't help but want to curse again. He wanted to catch Leonard and ask, did you do it on purpose or accidentally?

In the next few rounds, the Spurs and the Cavaliers were in a stalemate, and neither side was able to change the point difference.

At the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers still led the Spurs by 55 points 45-10.

During the halftime break, Tyronn Lue once again arranged the tactics of Irving and James, and Su Tian was placed on the bench to rest.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

The lineup sent by the Cavaliers is Irving, Jr. Smith, James, Thompson, and Mozgov.

The Spurs also have a semi-main lineup, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Diaw, and Aldridge.

In the first round, the ball was given to the Spurs.

Parker came to the frontcourt with the ball. Without Su Tian's interference, Parker was obviously much more calm.

It's not that Irving is not active in defense, but there is indeed a gap between his defense and Su Tian's.

Parker called Aldridge to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to break through inside.

Irving failed to get around in time, and Mozgov inside had to keep up with Parker.

Parker took Mozgov to the basket and passed a back pass to Aldridge at the top of the arc.

Aldridge got the ball and turned his back directly. After hitting Irving with his back twice in a row, he turned over and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Irving's interference was quite limited for Aldridge, who hit easily.

55-47

The ball was transferred and Irving advanced with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Irving began to call Thompson, trying to pick and roll Parker.

Irving used the pick-and-roll to break through inside, but Parker, short in stature, got out in time and entangled Irving again.

Irving had no choice but to retreat with the ball, protect the ball, and then use continuous dribbling to shake Parker's defensive focus and make another breakthrough.

Irving galloped all the way to the basket, confused Aldridge's defense with a pull-up layup, and successfully scored a layup.

57-47

Although Owen responded successfully, it consumed a lot of energy.

The ball changed again, and Parker came to the frontcourt with the ball and gave the ball directly to Aldridge in the low post.

Aldridge held the ball and faced Mozgov with his back. After shaking from side to side continuously, he turned over and shot a jumper.

Swah——

Aldridge's low post shot is still very smooth.

57-49

Seeing Aldridge hitting consecutive hits, Popovich said nothing more.

Irving once again held the ball to attack, but this time Irving's pull-up jump shot was predicted and the shot was ironclad.

Aldridge got the rebound and passed a long pass to Parker who was on the fast break.

Parker came to the frontcourt and hit a layup.

Although the sports car is old, it can still run.

57-51
