NBA’s aging star system

After the first finals game with the Warriors, Su Tian also returned to the hotel with the team.

Next, the Cavaliers will have two days of rest in San Francisco. Two days later, on June 6, the second game of the Finals will begin.

The next day the team came to a rented venue for training. In fact, at this time it was all basic routine training, just to keep the athletes in better condition.

After the regular training, everyone began to train freely, and James came next to Su Tian.

"Su, Tyronn let us go to a meeting."

"Okay LeBron, I'm coming."

Su Tian followed James to the meeting place of the coaching staff. After entering, Su Tian discovered that apart from James and himself, the only players here were Irving and Love, and the rest were members of the coaching staff.

"Okay, everyone is here, let me just say it briefly," Tai Lunlu saw Su Tian coming in with James, so he said, "Warriors are not so easy to deal with, you also saw it in the last game, so the next game I will increase the playing time of the main players, that is, you. No objection?"

"No problem, coach."

"OK"

"Okay coach."

"Okay, since there are no objections, I will continue. In addition to increasing your playing time, there will be some adjustments to the tactical layout and your roles."

Tyronn Lu paused and then said, "The tactics will be discussed in the tactical meeting. I will mainly talk about your division of labor. Kyrie, you need to focus more on offense and attack the basket more. "

"LeBron, you need more time to dominate the team. The team needs you to be on the court for a long time. You need to switch between the organizer and the attacker."

"Su, when you and Kyrie are on the court at the same time, try your best to cooperate with Kyrie and assume the organizational responsibility of the team."

"Love, your responsibility is to cooperate with the three of them to launch an attack. At the same time, I will arrange some low singles tactics for you to be prepared."

After the continuous arrangements, the coaching staff began to summon the players to explain the tactical arrangements and arrangements.

June 6, Oracle Arena, Game 5 of the Finals.

The starters on both sides maintained their regular starting lineups, with Thompson and Bodog doing jump balls.

Before the game, Su Tian specifically observed Barnes and found that Barnes was becoming more and more confident, which made Su Tian secretly feel that something was wrong.

Soon, the game started, and Thompson stood firm and took the lead in grabbing the basketball.

Irving received the ball and came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Curry's defense, he directly called Love for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Irving took two steps forward, then pulled up and shot.

Swah——

Owen took the lead as soon as he came up.

2-0

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

After Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, he passed the ball directly to Green, who stood at the top of the arc with the ball and waited for the card to be dealt.

Curry kept running after passing the ball, and his teammates also provided crazy screens for Curry. Finally, Curry found an opportunity to cut, and Green passed the ball in time.

Just when Curry was about to hold the ball and go to the basket, James suddenly gave up his defender and pounced on Curry.

Curry saw James' movement out of the corner of his eye, so he passed the ball directly to Barnes who was left open.

Barnes received the ball and shot a three-pointer without any hesitation this time.

Seeing Barnes looking so confident, Su Tian felt a little unsure, but fortunately,

boom--

Barnes made a three-pointer and James grabbed the rebound.

After getting the rebound, James rushed forward with the ball, and Irving and Su Tian also started sprinting at the same time.

The Cavaliers reacted quickly, and the Warriors reacted not too slowly. Green rushed straight towards James at the first opportunity, and Clay followed Su Tian closely. Although Curry also chased Irving, there was a clear distance between him and Irving.

So James passed the ball directly to the safe Irving. Irving received the ball and dribbled twice and took three steps directly.

Easy layup.

4-0

Irving hit two of his first two shots, putting enough pressure on the Warriors.

The ball was given to the Warriors again, and Green continued to deal at the top of the arc. This time it was given to Clay, who took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

boom--

Although Clay found opportunities to catch and shoot, he still did not escape the judgment of "defensive shock".

The rebound was taken by Thompson and passed directly to Love. Love passed the ball again to James who was already running.

James caught the ball and came to the basket, and succeeded with a powerful dunk.

6-0

The Cavaliers had an advantage at the beginning, and the cheers of the fans at the scene dropped a notch.

Curry once again brought the ball to the frontcourt. This time Curry did not pass the ball directly to Green. Instead, he faced Irving with the ball and began to mobilize Irving's defensive focus, hoping to directly break through Irving's defense.

Although Irving is indeed not a player who is good at defense, when Curry burst in, he followed Curry closely. There is no problem with his attitude.

Curry broke through to the basket and attracted Thompson's double-team defense. Seeing that there was no room to shoot, Curry hit the ground and passed the ball directly to Green who was cutting in the air.

Green caught the ball and went straight to the layup, hitting the board.

6-2

The Warriors finally started to score, and the atmosphere at the scene became joyful, and the fans started shouting again.

In the next few rounds, the two sides started to fight. I don’t know whether it was contagious or because the basket was not straight.

Just when the score was getting tense, Tyronn Lue made a gesture toward the court.

It seems that Love is asked to drop down low and play in isolation.

So Irving passed the ball directly to the inside. Love received the ball with his back to Green, and fought inside step by step.

But I have to say that Green's defensive ability this season is indeed top-notch. Love didn't go inside, so he shook his shoulders and turned around for a layup.

boom--

Basketball strike, just when everyone was waiting for the basketball to fall, James took off directly, and with a bang, he tipped in and dunked.

This goal also allowed the Cavaliers to successfully gain the upper hand in morale.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 25-19, and the Cavaliers led the Warriors by 6 points.

During the break, both sides made lineup adjustments at the same time.

There is no doubt that the Warriors directly came up with a five-small lineup, and the Cavaliers also came up with a lineup of Irving, Su Tian, ​​Jr. Smith, James, and Love to face off against the Warriors.

Soon, the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began.

The first ball in the second quarter was given to the Warriors, and Curry took the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball directly to Green.

Green got the ball and stood at the top of the arc, staring closely at his teammates' movements.

While Love was still thinking about who Green was going to pass to, Green directly broke through Love's defense with the ball.

Because of the five-small lineup, the space under the basket was extremely wide. Love turned around to chase, but failed to catch up in time, and Green scored a layup.

25-21

The ball was transferred and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and gave the ball directly to James.
