NBA’s aging star system

Both sides seized the first offensive round, and the ball was transferred again to the Cavaliers.

Irving advanced with the ball. This time Irving did his part and was ready to start his own offensive mode.

He reached out and called Thompson's level, using the pick-and-roll Irving to hold the ball and break through inside.

Although Russell is not a good defensive player, he can still do the basic following. He quickly bypasses the pick-and-roll and then turns around to chase Irving.

But Irving was really fast, and Russell couldn't catch up in time. Irving broke all the way to the basket. When Hibbert helped defend, Irving directly collected the ball and took off, pulling up the lever and scoring a layup.

Although it is only two points, the movement is very smooth and the lever is beautiful.

4-2

The ball possession changed and it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

The performance sessions on both sides have passed, and now comes the real fight with swords and guns.

Russell holds the ball and runs a pick-and-roll with Randall, and rushes to the basket with the ball.

Irving bypassed the pick-and-roll to pursue the defense, while Frye followed Randall.

Seeing Russell enter the inside, Thompson rushed to help defend and double-team, but Russell did not take a direct shot, but passed the ball to Randall, who was following the pass.

Randall is much younger than Frye and has faster speed and reaction. He can easily get rid of Frye's defense and shoot a mid-range jumper.

Swah——

Randall made a direct hit from the mid-range shot.

4-4

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the next few rounds were back and forth.

But because the ball rights in the first quarter were basically concentrated in the hands of Irving and James, Su Tian did not have many outstanding performances.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 33-31, and the Cavaliers temporarily led by 2 point.

In the second quarter, Irving went to rest, and the Cavaliers' lineup changed to Dellavedova, Su Tian, ​​Jr. Smith, James, and Mozgov.

James went to the fourth position and played a smaller lineup.

The first possession of the second quarter was given to the Lakers. Russell held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Facing Dellavedova's defense, Russell already had some experience and was no longer as embarrassed as before.

Russell raised his hand to call Larry Nance's pick-and-roll, using the pick-and-roll to break through.

But Russell was obviously too focused on Dellavedova's defense and ignored Su Tian next to him. Su Tian quickly attacked and stole the ball from Russell's hand quickly and accurately.

After grabbing the ball, Su Tian started to rush forward with the ball.

Russell and Clarkson both turned around to chase Su Tian. When Su Tian came to the frontcourt penalty area with the ball, a double-team between the two was about to take shape.

Su Tian saw the double-team defense between the two, and calmly threw a high ball, then quickly lowered his head and ran out of the basket.

Just as Su Tian ran out, before Russell and Clarkson could react, James, who was running behind him, jumped up, caught the ball and then smashed hard.

boom--

After a loud noise, the two looked back and saw that James had already succeeded in the dunk.

The audience at the scene exclaimed for a while, and then looked up to watch the replay that had just arrived.

I saw James following behind the three of them. His speed was not slow at all. He received a well-timed pass from Su Tian and succeeded in a powerful dunk.

The two people under the basket successfully became James' background.

James dunked two people directly!

James, who succeeded in dunking, had an expressionless face, showing his domineering side.

Byron Scott called a timeout urgently. This goal was too demoralizing. I wonder if these two young men can survive it.

Seeing the Lakers call a timeout, James found Su Tian and started celebrating the goal.

It's been too long, James hasn't had such a cool dunk for too long.

Soon, the timeout ended, Scott also did a good job of psychological counseling, and the game continued.

35-31

Russell continued to advance with the ball, and after reaching the frontcourt, he continued to find teammates to cooperate with pick-and-rolls.

This time, after Russell broke through, he passed the ball to Clarkson. As soon as Clarkson received the ball with the help of his teammates' cover, he was covered by Su Tian again.

The feeling of death entanglement was unpleasant, so Clarkson also quickly threw the ball to Randall.

Randall was even more speechless, because he was facing James at this time, but time was almost up, so Randall had no choice but to shoot directly.

Fortunately, the ball was not blocked directly by James.

boom--

But such a hasty goal was not so lucky. Basketball strikes iron.

Mozgov turned around, grabbed the rebound, and passed the ball directly to James on the side.

James started to advance with the ball, and James continued to advance until the frontcourt. At this time, James' speed had already picked up.

So James directly took the ball and rushed inside. At this time, the Lakers' inside line had not entered the penalty area, and the outside players had to help defend against double teams.

After James attracted a defensive double-team, he passed the ball directly to Su Tian outside the three-point line.

Su Tian took the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Clean entry into the net.

38-31

The point difference continues to widen, and the cooperation between Su Tian and James is getting better and better.

The next few rounds continued to show that there is still a clear gap between the Lakers and Cavaliers.

At the end of the second quarter, the score reached 64-55, with the Cavaliers leading the Lakers by 9 points.

If it weren't for Russell's lucky three-pointer at the end, the point difference would have been 12 points.

Soon the halftime was over and the third quarter began.

The Cavaliers sent out, Irving, Jr. Smith, Shumpert, Frye, Thompson.

With the lineup and score advantage, James can be allowed to rest for a period of time, probably only for about 5 minutes.

For the Lakers, Kobe played again and returned to the second position.

Faced with the advantage of the score and lineup, Irving also played very relaxedly, and even the balance between personal offense and team connection was very good.

The Lakers haven't changed much because of Kobe Bryant, and they are still suppressed by the Cavaliers.

At the end of the third quarter, the score reached 95-82. The Cavaliers were already 13 points ahead of the Lakers. The advantage was obvious.

So in the fourth quarter, Tyronn Lue sent out Dellavedova, Sutian, Shumpert, Frye, and Mozgov.

A lineup with the exception of Su Tian as substitutes.

But Su Tian said there was no problem.

The first possession of the ball in the fourth quarter was given to the Cavaliers. Dellavedova advanced with the ball and passed to Su Tian after reaching the frontcourt.

Su Tian faced Clarkson with the ball and called Frye for a pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian directly passed Clarkson's defense. After taking two steps, he directly collected the ball and made a jump shot.

Swah——

An extremely silky ball, directly into the net.

97-82

Seeing that the Cavaliers' offense is still guaranteed, Tyronn Lue knows that this game is stable.

The ball changed and it was the Lakers' turn to attack. Russell came to the frontcourt with the ball, faced Dellavedova's defense, and called Randall to pick and roll.

With the help of pick-and-roll Russell broke through, this time Russell paid attention to the help defense next to him and did not make the same mistake again. He went all the way to the basket and then passed the ball back to Randall.
