NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 181 The overwhelming Eastern Conference Finals (page 12)

Seeing that DeRozan was pressing hard, Su Tian did not act rashly. After holding the ball, he called Love for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick and roll, Su Tian started a breakthrough. DeRozan bypassed the pick and roll and turned to chase Su Tian.

Without the blessing of the king of the final quarter, it is really difficult for Su Tian to get rid of DeRozan's entanglement, but fortunately, Su Tian's teammates are much stronger than DeRozan's teammates.

Su Tian directly passed the ball to James who was cutting in the air.

James received the ball and directly resisted the interference from the Raptors inside and hit a layup.

35-28

Su Tian retreated while looking at DeRozan with a half-smile.

How about it, you are stupid, I have James here! There is no need to confront you head-on.

Although DeRozan is very depressed, there is nothing he can do. After all, DeRozan is already considered the Raptors' star player and needs to shoulder his responsibilities.

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

After the ball came to the frontcourt, it was still given to DeRozan. This time DeRozan actively cooperated with his teammates, hoping to use the strength of his teammates.

After a period of tactical coordination, the ball was passed to Carroll in the bottom corner. Carroll received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Although the shot was decisive, it was seriously interfered by James and the shot was blocked.

Love turned around and grabbed the rebound, following the old rules and rushing.

Su Tian and James started sprinting, one on the left and the other on the right. Love made a long pass and passed it directly to Su Tian's hands. Su Tian received the ball without stopping and quickly passed the ball to James who was running.

James received the ball and dunked hard.

37-28

Not long after the second quarter started, the score difference reached double digits in the blink of an eye.

When it was the Raptors' turn to attack again, DeRozan had to stabilize the rhythm to avoid being completely controlled by the Cavaliers.

But the knight's momentum has already risen, and it is not easy to suppress it again.

Soon after a few rounds, the score difference reached 12 points.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Tyronn Lue called a timeout, replaced James to rest, and replaced him with Richard Jefferson.

The Raptors were not willing to be opened up by so many points, but reality could not be changed by will. They could only rotate, replacing DeRozan to rest and replacing Lowry to lead the team.

The game continued. Su Tian pushed forward with the ball in the backcourt. When he came to the frontcourt, he directly called Love for a pick-and-roll.

After James comes off the court, Su Tian's best helper on the court is Love. How to make good use of the cooperation between the two is also an extremely critical issue.

Su Tian started to break through with the help of the pick-and-roll, and Love quickly bounced to the three-point line.

But Su Tian, ​​who was holding the ball, obviously had a bigger goal and attracted more attention. He successfully attracted a double team from the Raptors, so he passed the ball to Love outside the three-point line.

Love received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Love hit a three-pointer directly.

The ball was transferred and Lowry advanced with the ball.

The next round is crucial. Whether Su Tian and Love can withstand the pressure or Lowry leads the team to catch up with the score depends on the next round.

After Lowry came to the frontcourt, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he waited for his teammates to move and then cooperated with Diamond Scola in a pick-and-roll.

Dellavedova is also physically strong, but his impact on Lowry is still a bit reluctant, and he just follows Lowry to interfere defensively.

The two fought all the way to the basket. Lowry was about to force a layup against Dellavedova. Mozgov in the paint returned to defend the basket to help interfere.

Lowry flipped his hand and passed the ball to Scola behind him.

It turns out that Lowry attacked the basket so firmly to attract attention and create space for Scola to shoot.

This is similar to Su Tian's choice in the previous round, but the difference is that Love has a better three-point range and shoots from outside the three-point line.

Scola, on the other hand, does not have such a good three-point ability. He can only follow up two steps forward and then take a long two-point shot.

It is these two steps of follow-up that lead to the final result being completely different from Love.

Scola's shot was closer, making it easier for Love's defense to interfere, so the basketball was hit.

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

Su Tian got the ball and immediately turned around and started sprinting with the ball. He wanted to make a fast break, but was interfered by the Raptors and the fast break failed. So Su Tian stabilized the rhythm and waited for his teammates to get into position.

Seeing that the Cavaliers successfully defended the Raptors in this round, Tyronn Lue breathed a sigh of relief and sat comfortably on the bench.

The next few rounds also confirmed Tyronn Lue's view. Although Lowry has a certain strength in leading the team, it cannot stop the cooperation of Su Tian and Love.

Soon, at the end of the second quarter, the score reached 66-44, and the Cavaliers led the Raptors by 22 points at halftime.

During the halftime break, Tyronn Lue made arrangements again. Irving and James went directly to the game, trying to defeat the Raptors in one fell swoop in the third quarter.

Then after having a big score advantage, Su Tian and Love took their substitutes to grind slowly in the fourth quarter, and they won by the end of the game.

Soon the third quarter started. The Cavaliers wanted to exert their strength in the third quarter, and the Raptors thought the same way, and directly sent out their entire main lineup in the third quarter.

Looking at the Raptors' full lineup, James was slightly worried, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, James is also a person who is very confident in his own strength.

So at the beginning of the third quarter, the first ball was given to the Raptors.

Lowry held the ball across half court, came to the frontcourt and gave the ball directly to DeRozan.

At this time, it was Jr. Smith who was facing off against DeRozan. In comparison, DeRozan was more confident.

DeRozan got the ball and faced Jr.'s defense. With the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll, he directly started a breakthrough. He rushed to the basket and used a small pull rod to avoid Mozgov, who was assisting in defense, and scored a layup.

66-46

Seeing DeRozan successfully hit the ball, Casey was relieved. DeRozan was too locked up by Su Tian in the first half, and Casey was afraid that it would affect DeRozan's performance in the second half.

But it turns out that DeRozan is quite capable and can adjust on his own.

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

Irving advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, Irving wanted to attack first, so he called Thompson to pick and roll. With the help of the pick and roll, Irving rushed to the basket with the ball.

Although Irving is not as strong as Lowry, he is more flexible and faster than Lowry.

Irving got to the basket one step ahead of Lowry, and Biyombo returned to the basket to defend. Irving was not afraid of Biyombo's help and interference, collected the ball, took off, and took a shot.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

68-46

Although the Raptors can score goals, the Cavaliers can still do it, and they are even more certain. If there are no surprise players, the Raptors will almost have to answer here in this game.

In the next few rounds, both sides fought back and forth. Although the Raptors could not match the Cavaliers' offensive firepower, they still maintained their own output.

Soon the third quarter ended, with the score reaching 93-67 and the point difference reaching 26 points. Lowry and DeRozan sat off the court, gasping for air and lowering their heads, as if they had done something wrong. In confession.
