NBA’s aging star system

In the next few rounds, Su Tian had no other performance and was soon replaced.

In the fourth quarter, both sides gradually started to get serious, and Kobe also encouraged everyone to take it seriously.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Su Tian was substituted again.

At this time, Su Tian has already activated the state of the King of the End.

After receiving a pass from Lowry, he faced James Harden. The three-threat feinted and he shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian easily hit a three-pointer.

In the fourth quarter, Su Tian was still confident, but Su Tian couldn't show off too much on the All-Star stage.

In the following rounds, Su Tian had no chance to perform.

Finally, at the decisive moment, the Eastern Conference was already behind by many points, and there was no need to chase points. So Su Tian didn't try to steal the limelight.

最终比赛结束，西部以196-173大胜东部球队，科比以10分6篮板7助攻1抢断的数据告别了全明星之旅。

威斯布鲁克以31分5助攻8篮板5抢断蝉联MVP，成为历史上第二位蝉联全明星MVP的球员，保罗乔治命中的9记三分也是历史最多。

Su Tian's performance was not bad either, scoring 23 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal.

The All-Star game was over, and Su Tian also had a rare chance to rest.

The Cavaliers' first game after the All-Star Game won't be until the 18th.

Taking this opportunity, Su Tian also has to deal with some commercial endorsements and advertising shoots.

But what makes Su Tian proud is that there are really many Chinese fans in Toronto, and most of them are his own fans.

During these few days in Toronto, Su Tian also felt the charm of this city.

Time passes quickly and vacations are always short.

On February 2th, the Cavaliers' first game after the All-Star Game will begin.

The Cavaliers will face the Bulls at home.

The Cavaliers have won every previous game against the Bulls, and this time is no exception.

What's more, this time they also experienced the All-Star Weekend holiday. The whole team had enough rest, especially Irving, who recovered very well.

At the beginning of the game, he showed great desire to attack, frequently breaking through and causing damage.

最终本场比赛骑士106-95轻松获胜，詹姆斯25分9篮板9助攻的准三双。

欧文也拿到20分4助攻2篮板，苏天拿到25分7助攻4篮板。

Of course, what pleases Tyronn Lue the most is not the performance of star players, but the performance of other role players, who are increasingly trustworthy.

The day after the game against the Bulls, the Cavaliers made a trade to bolster the power forward position.

On February 2, the Cleveland Cavaliers reached a three-party deal with the Magic and Trail Blazers, and Channing Frye joined the Cavaliers.

The specific transaction is that Frye joins the Cavaliers, Varejao goes to the Trail Blazers, and the Magic receive a second-round draft pick (sent by the Trail Blazers) and Cunningham from the Cavaliers.

In addition, the Trail Blazers also received a protected first-round pick from the Cavaliers (in the first round of 2018, with ten protections in 2018 and 2019).

Frye's contract expires in the summer of 2018. His salary this season is US$819 million, and his total salary in the next two seasons exceeds US$1500 million. He would be a good choice for the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers were also looking to acquire the Pelicans' Anderson, who is also a big pitcher, but eventually traded Frye.

Frye has played in the NBA for 10 seasons, playing for the Knicks, Trail Blazers, Suns, and Magic. He has played in 44 games with the Magic this season, including 29 starts, averaging 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.

It is worth mentioning that in terms of jump shots this season, Frye’s effective field goal percentage is still very good, reaching 55.8%. Among players in the league who have attempted at least 150 jump shots, only Curry has a higher number than Frye. , Dudley, Redick.

Varejao is a Cavaliers veteran. He has spent 13 seasons in the NBA with the Cavaliers. He has averaged 7.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in his career. He is one of LeBron's favorite teammates.

However, Varejao's salary this season reaches US$970 million, and next season's salary will be US$930 million. The Cavaliers' total salary reaches US$1.1 million, and there is still US$6500 million in luxury tax to pay. Therefore, the Cavaliers must shed their salary burden.

Varejao played in 31 games this season, averaging only 10 minutes per game, contributing 2.6 points and 2.9 rebounds, which was of little use. Coupled with his injury history and age, Varejao is more important as a leader in the locker room.

After sending away Varejao and Cunningham, the Cavaliers saved US$1000 million in salary expenses.

However, after the Trail Blazers traded for Varejao, they directly chose to waive him.

At this time, something interesting happened. On February 2, the Golden State Warriors reached a signing agreement with Anderson Varejao on a minimum salary contract until the end of the season.

If historical development is followed and the two teams can finally successfully meet in the finals, Varejao will become the first player in NBA history to play for two championship teams in a single season.

Anderson Varejao: As long as you play, I have to have a share of the championship ring.

But it is a pity that Channing Frye's first game in the Cavaliers career was not good.

On February 2, in the Cavaliers' home game against the Pistons, Frye made his first appearance on behalf of the Cavaliers.

全场拿到了2分4篮板1助攻1失误2犯规，三分球2投0中，有点水土不服的表现。

Although Frye's performance will not affect the Cavaliers as a whole, the Cavaliers still lost this game.

The Pistons defeated the Cavaliers 96-88. A total of 6 Pistons scored in double figures, which can be said to be an explosion for all members.

Drummond grabbed 15 rebounds alone. If James hadn't also participated in the battle for rebounds later, maybe Drummond would have had 20 rebounds in this game.

当然本场骑士输掉比赛的主要原因还是詹姆斯的掉线，詹姆斯全场拿到12分5助攻8篮板6失误，命中率只有27.8%，三分球4投0中。

James can have such a performance, although there are reasons for James himself, but it has to be said that the Pistons have a good defense.

After losing the game against the Pistons, the Cavaliers' record reached 48 wins and 7 losses.

Although we lost a game, it was considered normal.

The next two games against the Hornets and Raptors were won easily, and the Cavaliers were not affected by the losses.

On February 2, the Cavaliers went to Washington to face the Wizards. This was the first game of a back-to-back. James took a rest and prepared to focus on the Pacers in the next game.

So the lineup for this game becomes, Irving, Su Tian, ​​Richard Jefferson, Love, and Thompson.

The Wizards' lineup is John Wall, Garnett Tapper, Jared Dudley, Otto Porter, and Gortat.

As soon as the game started, the Wizards played very proactively. Wall frequently broke through Irving's defense and entered the paint, causing damage.

Seeing that something was wrong, Tyronn Lue quickly called a timeout and asked Su Tian and Irving to switch defenses.

The timeout ends and the game continues with the Cavaliers having the ball. Su Tian observed that the Wizards also brought Bill up.
