NBA’s aging star system

The Cavaliers lost to the Green Army, their 12th loss of the season.

The embarrassment of having no one available to the Cavaliers is also evident.

So, at this embarrassing moment, the team's general manager began to make an effort to sign Deron Williams, who was waived by the Mavericks, with a veteran's minimum salary of 155 million.

Although Deron's ability has declined, Deron is only 32 years old this season, which logically means he is at his peak.

这个赛季在小牛，德隆场均还能出战29分钟，拿到场均13.1分6.9助攻2.6篮板0.6抢断的数据。

As for whether Delong's arrival has had any impact on Su Tian, ​​of course it has, but it won't have much impact, after all, Jr. hasn't come back yet.

The backcourt is already quite short of players, and Deron's arrival can relieve some of the pressure, and Su Tian is more welcoming.

But Su Tian knew that Deron's performance when he came to the Cavaliers was not good and he could only be used as a substitute on the bench.

He can only occasionally act as a surprise player, and it is no longer possible to expect Deron to perform well in the playoffs.

On March 3, Su Tian returned, and the Cavaliers defeated the Eagles away from home.

Deron came off the bench and performed well. He played 17 minutes and scored 2 points, 7 assists and 1 rebound.

The Hawks let go of Al Horford during the offseason and signed Howard. Although they remain in the playoffs, their record of 34 wins and 26 losses cannot be said to be very good.

In the next few games, Tyronn Lue began to take a large-scale rotation.

On March 3, against the Heat, Tyronn Lue directly arranged for all the main players to rest. The starting lineup was only Deron, Korver, Shumpert, Frye, and Thompson.

The Cavaliers also lost the game 92-120.

Immediately afterwards, on March 3, the Cavaliers returned to their home court for a second game with the Heat, and the Cavaliers' main force was used.

In the end, the Cavaliers easily defeated the Heat 110-98, bringing their record to 49 wins and 13 losses.

In the next few games, the Cavaliers have been arranging a rotation policy, which has also caused the record to fluctuate.

Throughout the remaining games in March, they lost another 7 games.

At the end of March, the Cavaliers' record reached 55 wins and 20 losses.

During March, Love and Jr. Smith also returned one after another, which reduced a lot of pressure on the team.

It's just that it will take some time for the team to adapt to the return of both of them, especially Love. After returning this time, it is obvious that his ability has declined a bit seriously.

But fortunately, the Cavaliers have a good record and a solid foundation, so they are not afraid of not making it to the playoffs.

Even after all this, the Cavaliers still occupy the first place in the Eastern Conference, followed by the Celtics with 49 wins and 27 losses.

The number one team in the Western Conference is still the Warriors, with 62 wins and 14 losses, and they are also number one in the league.

As time enters April, the Cavaliers only have 4 regular season games left to finish.

The Cavaliers have so many winning advantages and are firmly ranked first in the Eastern Conference, so Tyronn Lue can rest more confidently.

On April 4, the Cavaliers played against the Pacers at home.

Both sides played their main players, and the Pacers' resilience exceeded Tyronn Lue's imagination. The two sides kept the score deadlocked until the last moment. With Su Tian's two consecutive three-pointers, they won the game 108-105.

Next, the Cavaliers defeated the Magic and Celtics one after another.

But just after the Cavaliers finished their game with the Celtics, Thompson was taken away by the team doctor, and then Tyronn Lue came over and announced that Thompson would be sidelined for one to two weeks.

On April 4, the Cavaliers played against the Hawks at home.

Because Thompson is away, the Cavaliers had to move Love to the fifth position and set up a lineup of Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Frye, and Love.

It's just that the Hawks successfully destroyed themselves through some offseason transactions.

The current record is only 40 wins and 38 losses, temporarily ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference.

The only starting lineup sent by the Hawks is Calderon, Hardaway II, Taurean Prince, Humphries, and Ilyasova.

Originally, the Hawks' assist lineup relied more on the performance of outside players, but Hardaway, the team's leading scorer, faced off against Su Tian.

Under Su Tian's restrictions, Hardaway did not perform well, and in the end the Cavaliers won the game without any danger.

On April 4, these two teams again played at the Eagles' home court.

This time the Hawks' main players are Schroeder, Hardaway, Prince, Millsap, and Howard.

So the Cavaliers' inside weakness was caught and beaten by the Eagles.

Just when Tyronn Lue wanted to double-team and help restrict the inside line, the outside line caught fire again.

Mike Dunleavy, who was traded by the Cavaliers, hit consecutive three-pointers. He made 5 of 4 three-pointers and scored 20 points.

内线米尔萨普全场拿下22分9篮板2助攻1抢断，霍华德19分5篮板2助攻1盖帽。

The Cavaliers were beaten from the inside by the Hawks, which caused the fire to burn to the outside, making the Hawks feel comfortable shooting three-pointers from the outside.

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Cavaliers 126-111, and the Cavaliers lost 21 games.

On April 4, the Cavaliers faced the Heat in back-to-back games.

Because it was consecutive away games, Tyronn Lue directly rested James and Irving.

This resulted in the entire team being left with only one Su Tian to support them.

Tyronn Lue sent out a lineup, Su Tian, ​​Jr. Smith, Shumpert, Frye, and Love.

The Heat sent out Dragic, McGruder, Josh Richardson, James Johnson, and Hassan Whiteside.

At the beginning, the Heat grabbed the ball and Dragic advanced with the ball.

Today, the Heat's lineup is still able to achieve 39 wins and 41 losses, and Dragic is indispensable.

Of course, the white border is also a very important part.

Facing Su Tian's defense, Dragic did not act rashly and waited for his teammates to come over to pick and roll before starting a breakthrough.

But Su Tian quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and entangled Dragic again.

Seeing no chance, Dragic had no choice but to pass the ball to Richardson.

Facing Jr., Richardson broke through to the basket and made a throw.

Swah——

The Heat got off to a good start.

Although Dragic has no good way to face Su Tian, ​​Su Tian now has no reliable teammates on the defensive end.

The ball changed and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Su Tian also called for a pick-and-roll, and Dragic chose to go around the pick-and-roll from behind, so Su Tian directly shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

3-2

Su Tian is the most stable point on the outside for the Cavaliers this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of over 40%.

Of course, this is also related to Su Tian's various badge bonuses.

The ball was given to the Heat again. Dragic did not try to break through Su Tian this time, but passed the ball directly to Richardson.

This time Richardson broke through and was defended by Love. He shot and hit the ball, but Love grabbed the rebound.

Seeing Love get the rebound, Su Tian rushed straight away. Love also made a tacit long pass and passed it accurately to the front of Su Tian.

Su Tian reached forward and caught the ball, then took the ball to the basket and scored a European layup.

Although Dragic followed up, he was passed by the European step and failed to defend successfully.

5-2
