NBA’s aging star system

After the game against the Bucks, there will be a back-to-back game against the Pacers, who are on the edge of the playoffs.

The Pacers are on the edge of the playoffs this season, and will naturally be more desperate in the closing stages.

Tyronn Lue didn't want the team to go up and fight hard. Now was not the time, so he started taking another break.

Tyronn Lue arranged for Irving and James to take turns, allowing Su Tianlai to lead the team to compete with the Pacers.

So the starting lineup for this game became Su Tian, ​​Jr. Smith, Shumpert, Love, and Mozgov.

The Pacers' starting lineup is George Hill, Monta Ellis, Paul George, Lavoy Allen, and Ian Mahinmi.

Soon, the game started, and Mozgov took the lead.

Su Tian got the ball and pushed forward, came to the frontcourt to face Hill's defense, called Love to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to break through inside.

Hill quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and turned around to chase Su Tian. Su Tian got to the basket one step ahead of Hill and made a layup.

At this time, Mahinmi had just arrived at the basket and his steps were too slow.

2-0

The ball was transferred, and Hill advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he gave the ball directly to Paul George.

George held the ball against Shumpert, and after three threats, he broke through directly.

When he came to the mid-range, he directly stopped for a jump shot and hit the basketball accurately.

2-2

At the beginning, the rhythm of both sides was faster.

Su Tian continued to hold the ball and called for a pick-and-roll.

This time, Mahinmi came to the basket early and blocked Su Tian's breakthrough route. Su Tian was not in a hurry and passed the ball to Mozgov.

Mozgov made a direct hit from close range.

4-2

The ball was given to the Pacers again, and the pace on both sides became faster and faster.

This time Hill gave the ball to Ellis, who directly broke through Jr. with the ball, but Ellis did not notice that his team's players had not yet finished their position.

So Mozgov on the inside double-teamed him in advance, Ellis forced a shot, and the basketball was forged.

Love grabbed the rebound, Su Tian turned around and ran, and Love passed the ball.

The cooperation between the two can be said to be quite tacit.

Su Tian received the ball and went straight to the basket, collected the ball, took off, and dunked with both hands.

6-2

The pace on both sides increased too quickly. The Pacers were obviously not used to it and couldn't keep up.

So this time Paul George personally advanced with the ball and began to try to control the rhythm.

After all, without James and Irving, the Pacers still have the upper hand when it comes to paper strength. There is no need for the Pacers to be so anxious.

As long as they play steadily, the Pacers have a good chance of winning.

George held the ball and called his teammates for a pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, George held the ball and broke through inside.

Mozgov's assist defense slowed down George a step, and George scored a layup.

6-4

There is still a gap between the two teams. George is still an All-Star player no matter what.

Of course, Su Tian is now a veritable all-star.

Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball and still started with a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll came out, he shot a three-pointer.

Hill had a habit of thinking and did not watch out for Su Tian's three-pointer. Su Tian hit the three-pointer directly without interference.

9-4

Seeing Su Tian's sudden shot, George became interested. He came to the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer from a distance before he was even a few steps past the half-court line.

Swah——

George's three-pointer was lucky and went directly into the net.

9-7

The scores on both sides rose quickly. Within a few rounds, the score reached 20+.

At the end of the first quarter, the score reached 33-36, and the Cavaliers were temporarily 3 points behind.

In addition to Su Tian strengthening his personal offense in the first few rounds, Su Tian still mainly led his teammates in the following rounds, using passes to organize the team's offense in series.

Jr Smith and Love both performed one after another.

In the second quarter, Su Tianhui took a break for half a quarter, and the lineup changed to Mo Williams, Jr. Smith, Richard Jefferson, Love, and Thompson.

Without James and Irving, Tyronn Lue doesn't have many cards to play. At least one of Su Tian and Love must be on the court.

For the Pacers, Monta Ellis leads the attack.

Although Mo is not as good at playing as Ellis, it is still no problem to hold the ball a little, and with Smith's assistance, he can safely put the ball in Love's hands.

The Pacers' inside line is not very defensive, and Love also made several low-post plays.

Ellis's impact is still there, but his finishing ability at the basket has deteriorated a lot. The ball in two rounds was a pity.

Soon half the quarter passed, and Tyronn Lue took advantage of the dead ball to take Su Tian up again, and replaced Dellavedova by the way.

Su Tian, ​​who returned to the court, directly held the ball in the first round, faced Ellis' defense, and chose to call Love for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian broke through with the ball, chose to challenge the Pacers' basket, and went all the way to the basket for a European-step layup.

Turner wanted to help block the shot, but Su Tian easily dodged it.

After attacking on his own in the first round, Su Tian began to organize and connect with the ball.

Su Tian's strategy is to first use independent offense to attract attention, and then organize the team's offense and lead his teammates.

Soon, at the end of the second quarter, the score reached 61-66, and the Cavaliers were temporarily 5 points behind.

With Su Tian's current strength, he still can't defeat the Pacers. Even with Love's help, it will still be a bit difficult.

But what Su Tian can do now is to hold on to the score difference. As long as the score difference can be controlled within 10 points, there will still be a chance in the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Love was about to take a rest, and the lineup changed to Dellavedova, Su Tian, ​​Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, and Mozgov.

Paul George appears on the Pacers' side, and Stuckey and Hill are on the back line.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Pacers. Hill advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and gave the ball directly to George.

George held the ball against Jefferson's defense and started a three-threat test. Then he broke through directly and broke into the inside from the right side.

Jefferson did not maintain his defensive position and reluctantly followed George to interfere, but obviously the degree of interference was limited.

George came all the way to the basket, and Mozgov was already ready to help defend. Facing Jefferson's pursuit and Mozgov's assistance, George did not choose to pass the ball, but defended one Small pull-up lever, successful layup.

61-68

The ball was transferred and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Dellavedova advanced with the ball, came to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian chose to call Frye to come over for a pick-and-roll, and with the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian also broke through directly.

George Hill, who was guarding Su Tian, ​​and Solomon Hill, who was guarding Frye, both chose to rush towards Su Tian and directly double-team him.

But Su Tian seemed to have expected an eye in the back of his head, and passed a pass to Frye who was standing at the top of the key.

Frye caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

The moment Frye took action, Su Tian's "Ten Cents" badge also lit up.
