NBA’s aging star system

On April 4, the sixth game between the Hawks and Celtics started.

Su Tian also stayed in front of the TV at home on time, preparing to watch the game.

Although Su Tian has almost determined that his opponent in the next round will be the Eagles, there may be a reversal.

From the beginning of the game, as if to refute Su Tian's idea, the Hawks played very proactively and pursued and intercepted Thomas on the defensive end. Thomas's shooting percentage has been unable to improve.

The first quarter soon ended, and the Eagles had a 20-17 advantage.

In the second quarter, the Hawks continued to exert force, and Thomas gradually got lost in the Hawks' defense. Not only Thomas was sluggish, but other Celtics players were also affected, and they continued to hit three-pointers.

At the end of the first half, the score reached 41-33. The Eagles led the Greens by 8 points, but the inefficient shooting rate made the fans helpless and the scene became ugly.

In the third quarter, the Hawks' touch began to recover, and the Celtics' touch began to gradually return to normal. However, Millsap's sudden burst broke the balance and continuously stood on the free throw line to score.

In the third quarter, thanks to Millsap's extraordinary performance, the Eagles scored 39-26 in a single quarter, leading by 13 points in a single quarter and 21 points in total.

At this time, Stevens has also seen the upper limit of this team and understands that the team may stop here, but he cannot show his attitude of giving up yet.

So Stevens continued to arrange the main players and tactics.

In the end, the result of the game was as expected. The Eagles defeated the Green Army 104-92 and advanced to the second round.

Although facing the Cavaliers in the second round will be a tough battle, at least I am happy at this moment.

Stevens looked at the players of the Celtics and then at Horford of the Hawks, knowing he had a plan in mind.

The result that the Hawks successfully advanced to the next round was also immediately known to Tyronn Lue, but Tyronn Lue and the coaching staff did not panic because this was the same as the team had expected.

The tactics the Cavaliers have been rehearsing these days are also rehearsed for the Eagles.

Su Tian focused on observing the Hawks' starting No. 2 position, Kent Bazemore. He has good athletic ability, excellent wingspan, can shoot but is unstable, and his rebounding is somewhat interesting, but he does not have a height advantage as a defender.

Overall, a wing scorer with excellent athletic ability, but average scoring skills and techniques, and average defense.

Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.

After studying the opponent, Su Tian also understood that as long as nothing unexpected happened, the Eagle would not be his opponent.

Time soon came to May, and the playoffs of each team are proceeding normally. So far, there are no upsets, and they are basically consistent with their paper strength.

The Warriors defeated the Rockets 4-1, the Spurs swept the Grizzlies 4-0, avenging the past, and the Thunder also defeated the Mavericks 4-1. Nowitzki's career is basically coming to an end.

The Trail Blazers won the Clippers 4-2. Chris Paul had an old problem. The injury suffered during the playoffs was the main reason for the Clippers' defeat.

In the Western Conference, the second round of games has officially started. The Warriors face the Trail Blazers. The Warriors have no pressure. The Spurs face the Thunder. This is really hard to say. Both sides have opportunities.

On May 5, all the first-round games in the Eastern Conference ended, except for the Cavaliers and Hawks, who successfully entered the second round.

The Raptors went through 7 battles and defeated the Pacers 4-3 to advance to the second round. Similarly, the Heat and the Hornets also had 7 battles, and the Heat eventually won.

These two teams, which have both experienced a 7-game tie, will meet in the second round, so it’s hard to say who has the advantage. It just depends on who is more resilient.

For the failed Pacers, team reconstruction is inevitable, but for the Hornets, it is a promising future. After all, it is already good for the Hornets to make the playoffs.

On May 5, the Atlanta Hawks came to Cleveland to prepare for the first game of the second round.

Before the game, Tyronn Lue also specifically emphasized some tactics for the Hawks to prevent falling into the Hawks' defensive trap.

In the starting lineup, both sides maintained their first-round starting lineup, and the Cavaliers still kept the same old routine.

For the Hawks, Jeff Teague, Kent Bazemore, Kyle Korver, Millsap, Horford.

Su Tian looked at the matchups between the two sides. The Cavaliers were slightly weaker inside, but the defenders and forwards had an overall advantage.

Soon, the game started, Horford and Thompson made a jump ball, and Horford took the initiative. Jeff Teague received the ball and advanced with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Teague did not rush to start the offense. Instead, he waited for his teammates to run tactics and passed the ball to Millsap who ran out.

Su Tian also followed Bazemore, but always watched the movements of others, always ready to help defend against double teams.

Millsap got the ball, and the three threats tested Love, then broke through, took two steps, and passed the ball to Horford at the basket.

Horford received the ball and shook Thompson with his back, then turned and hit a hook.

2-0

The Eagles' tactical coordination is still so good, and the teammates have a very tacit understanding, but their shortcomings are also obvious.

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

Irving advanced with the ball and passed the ball directly to James after reaching the frontcourt.

James faced Korver with the ball and smiled slightly.

Su Tian was actually puzzled as to what the Hawks were thinking, using Korver to face James. Isn't this meat in his mouth?

But Su Tian turned around and looked at the Hawks bench. Well, maybe Korver is the best choice.

James did not call for a pick-and-roll and directly attacked with the ball. Korver was knocked away by James and could not stop James' impact at all.

James rushed all the way to the basket, and Horford helped defend and double-teamed, raising his hands to interfere with James' shooting.

But James did not take a shot, but passed the ball to Su Tian who was cutting in the air.

Su Tian received the ball and shot directly from mid-range without going towards the basket at all.

Swah——

The basketball landed firmly in the net.

At this time, Su Tian's defender, Bazemore, had just bypassed the pick-and-roll screen and watched Su Tian take action without interference.

Budenholzer was very angry that he couldn't even keep up with him, but there was nothing he could do. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, so he could only use it like this for now.

The ball changed again and the Eagles attacked again.

This time Teague used the pick-and-roll to break through, and went to the basket for a layup. He was interfered by Thompson's defense, and the basketball was forged.

Just when Thompson was about to collect the rebound, Horford suddenly appeared and lit the basketball again. The basketball flew towards the basket and bounced into the basket.

Thompson had a constipated look on his face and spent a long time trying to defend himself, only to be tapped in again by this guy.

2-4

The ball changed again, Irving advanced with the ball, and passed the ball to James.

In fact, Irving didn't want to pass it, but this was specially arranged by Tyronn Lue before the game, and Irving couldn't violate it.

Moreover, Irving also saw the Hawks' tricks against Thomas in the last round. It was not friendly to their skilled breakthrough players at all, and Irving was still observing.
