NBA’s aging star system

Soon, the third quarter ended, and the score reached 90-82. The Cavaliers were still 8 points ahead of the Warriors.

The largest point difference in the third quarter was 15 points. After the Warriors replaced Barnes, it was not easy to catch up to 7 points in only half a quarter.

After all, both the Warriors and Cavaliers are recognized as championship-level teams.

During the break, many media cameras focused on the Warriors bench.

Cole held the tactical board to explain, but Barnes sat on the bench nearby, his head lowered.

This scene was captured by many shots at the scene. It was Curry who came over to pat Barnes and called him over.

On the Cavaliers' side, Tyronn Lue encouraged everyone's emotions while arranging the lineup.

Dellavedova, Su Tian, ​​Jr. Smith, Love, Mozgov.

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

The Warriors are still lagging behind, and Cole doesn't dare to replace too many main players.

Take out, Livingston, Clay, Barnes, Green, Ezeli.

The first possession of the ball was given to the Cavaliers. Dellavedova came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

In fact, Cole also wanted to take Klay off for a while, but now the whole league knows that Su Tian is not easy to mess with in the fourth quarter. Only Klay and Su Tian are the most suitable matchups in the Warriors.

Although Iguodala and Green can also defend, they are all new forces to deal with James. Who will deal with James when they come to deal with Su Tian.

Facing Clay's defense, Su Tian called Love for a pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian broke through Clay's defense easily and made a mid-range jump shot.

Swah——

Su Tian's mid-range is still very stable.

92-82

The ball changed and it was the Warriors' turn to attack. Livingston came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Green who came to respond.

Green didn't rush to attack when he got the ball. Instead, he waited for Livingston to bring Dellavedova to the low post and passed the ball directly to Livingston again.

Livingston got the ball and was about to hit Dellavedova with his back. Jr. Smith on the side followed Tyronn Lue's tactical arrangement and chose to let go of Barnes. Coming towards Livingston to double-team.

Upon seeing this, Livingston passed the ball directly to Barnes who was left open. After receiving the ball, Barnes should have shot a three-pointer directly, but after what happened before, Barnes felt guilty.

So he took two steps forward and took a long two-point shot.

But the moment Barnes took the shot, Su Tian's defense also came at the same time.

boom--

Barnes scored two points and also hit the iron.

Love got the rebound, and Su Tian turned around and ran away.

Love passed the ball directly to Su Tian. Su Tian accelerated to get the ball, went to the basket, collected the ball, took off, and dunked with both hands.

94-82

Cole saw that Barnes missed both points and kept shaking his head on the sidelines.

The ball was given to the Warriors again. Livingston came to the frontcourt with the ball and still passed the ball to Green.

Clay led Su Tian all over the court. After two consecutive pick-and-roll screens, he finally got a chance on the third time.

Green saw the right moment and passed the ball directly.

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

Swah——

The Warriors also scored the first goal of the fourth quarter.

94-85

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

Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball and still called Love to pick and roll.

But this time, Su Tian broke through and was double-teamed by Clay and Green.

Although the double-team between the two came suddenly, Su Tian responded in time and passed the ball accurately to Love who was left open.

Love didn't need to adjust at all when he caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Love also hit a three-pointer.

97-85

After several consecutive rounds, the score difference could not be narrowed, and Cole called a timeout.

Tyronn Lue knew that after this timeout, the Warriors would come out with their entire lineup, so they didn't hide it and also came out with their entire lineup.

Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, Thompson.

Soon, the timeout ended, and sure enough, the Warriors brought out all their main players except Barnes.

Curry, Clay, Iguodala, Green, Ezeli.

On the first ball back on the court, Green passed the ball to assist Curry and scored a layup.

Immediately afterwards, the Cavaliers did not give the Warriors a chance to breathe. James attacked Iguodala's defense with the ball and assisted Thompson for a dunk.

Although a goal was scored, the Warriors were very fast and quickly sent out baseline balls in an attempt to grab one.

Green directly passed the ball from the baseline to Curry who ran to the midfield. Curry caught the ball and directly chased and scored a three-pointer.

During this period, the rhythm on both sides was very fast, but obviously, this rhythm was not what Tyronn Lue wanted.

So after the Cavaliers served again, James took the initiative to hold the ball and began to stabilize the rhythm and situation.

In the next few rounds, neither side gained any advantage, but time passed little by little.

The less time there is, the better it is for the Cavaliers who are still in the lead.

Until 3 minutes before the end of the game, the Cavaliers still maintained an 8-point lead.

The Warriors have always insisted on the presence of the main players, and Tyronn Lue did not dare to enlarge or win any of the main players.

Curry once again came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing the panting Irving, Curry directly started a singles. After continuous dribbling, he quickly broke out, broke through Irving's defense, and went straight to the basket.

James let go of Iguodala and came over to help defend, and Thompson also let go of Speights and retreated to the basket.

Facing the Cavaliers' double-team, Curry quickly passed the ball directly to Iguodala outside the three-point line.

Iguodala's three-point shooting is actually not stable, but a veteran like this is most valuable at critical moments, such as now.

Iguodala received the pass and shot a three-pointer directly.

I saw the basketball going straight to the basket, shua——

The basketball goes directly into the net.

There is still a 5-point difference.

The ball was transferred, and Irving slowly came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to James.

When James faced Iguodala, he did not rush to attack. Instead, after spending a while, he called Thompson to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to start a breakthrough.

After Iguodala struggled to squeeze through the pick-and-roll, he tried hard to chase James. At the same time, Speights also came to double-team James.

James saw Su Tian running into an open space outside the three-point line, so he passed the ball directly to him.

Su Tian didn't adjust after receiving the ball, he jumped up and shot a drifting three-pointer.

Swah——

Su Tian hit a three-pointer directly.

The score difference returned to 8 points again.

Faced with such a thrilling scene, the fans and audiences at the scene had already started shouting, and the atmosphere at the scene was very impatient.

But the Cavaliers had James and the cheating Su Tian there, and the overall rhythm was not deviated by the Warriors, and they persisted until the end of the game.

And this 8-point difference persisted until the end of the game.
