NBA’s aging star system

Leonard was stepped on and was carried away by his Spurs teammates.

The next game became simple. The 20-point difference was really nothing to the Warriors. In the end, the Warriors successfully won the game 113-111.

The score in the Western Conference Finals came to 1-0, and the Warriors temporarily took the lead.

However, looking at Leonard's appearance, it is estimated that it will be difficult to return to the game in a short time. The Spurs are basically out of the game.

Su Tian also saw the scene where Leonard was kicked off. Although Su Tian also hated Pachulia as a player, he had no choice. Su Tian was not a Spurs player and he was not Leonard's friend.

For this kind of thing, even if you remind you, it won't have much effect, and others may even think there is something wrong with you.

Leonard's injury this time, the subsequent impact is not that simple.

Not only does it make the Spurs hopeless to win the championship this season, but it also affects the Spurs in the following years.

The ensuing soap opera between Leonard and the Spurs dragged on for a long time, and finally he left the Raptors in exchange for DeRozan.

But DeRozan later proved that he was not suitable for this team, and the Spurs' 20-year glory collapsed.

But whether it will still be like this in this life is unknown.

After watching the game between the Spurs and the Warriors, Su Tian didn't have much time to be sad, because the Eastern Conference Finals were just around the corner.

On May 5, at Quicken Loans Arena, the Celtics came.

The Celtics have been very aggressive this year, reaching all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, which many people did not expect.

Regarding the Eastern Conference Finals, outside media generally believe that at least 6 games will be played, and the probability of the Greens beating the Cavaliers is estimated to be %.

But only the Cavaliers themselves know how powerful the Cavaliers are.

In the first two rounds of the series, James did not fully exert his strength at all, and he swept all of them 4-0 to advance.

As for the Green Army, Su Tian didn't think it was possible for the Green Army to break through the Cavaliers.

Not to mention James, even the Green Army has a hard time getting past their own level.

Soon, the game time came and players from both sides began to take the field.

The starting lineup for the Green Army is Thomas Jr., Bradley, Jae Crowder, Amir Johnson, and Al Horford.

The starting lineup for the Cavaliers is Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, and Thompson.

The opening ball was grabbed by Horford, and the Green Army attacked first.

Thomas gets the ball and plays in the frontcourt with the ball. Horford comes up to set a pick-and-roll for Thomas.

Thomas used the pick-and-roll to break through and quickly came to the basket for a layup.

Thomas was too fast and Irving didn't have time to catch up.

0-2

In fact, the Celtics' tactics are not complicated. To put it simply, Horford comes up, vacating the space under the basket, and Thomas breaks through to the basket for a layup.

Since Horford has a certain mid-to-long-range shooting ability, the center has to keep up, which gives Thomas a chance.

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

Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Thomas, who was a head shorter than him, Irving directly started a singles and broke through Thomas' defense with a long stride.

But the Celtics' defense is a holistic defense. The moment Irving entered the three-point line, other players also started to act and double-teamed.

Irving rushed all the way to the basket. Horford immediately let go of Thompson to double-team and help defend. Irving collected the ball and took off, pulling the lever for a layup.

Bang——shua——

Basketball hits the board into the net.

2-2

Irving successfully returned one, and both sides are still in the trial stage.

The ball was once again given to the Celtics, and Thomas repeated his old trick and called Horford to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to go straight to the basket.

But this time Thompson quickly retreated to the basket and took up a defensive position, so Thomas had to pass the ball to Horford.

Horford caught the ball and shot directly. Irving wanted to cover up, but there was a height difference and failed to interfere.

Swah——

Horford hit a two-pointer from mid-range.

2-4

In Su Tian's view, although the Celtics' offensive core is Thomas Jr., Horford is the team's tactical core.

Horford is so versatile, he can shoot, post, pass, defend, everything.

It is Horford's versatility that makes the team's tactics work.

The ball was transferred and Irving attacked again with the ball. This time Irving passed the ball directly to James.

James got the ball, called Love to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to directly hit the basket. Horford went to help defend, and James took advantage of the situation and caused Horford to foul.

James went to the free throw line, and Tyronn Lue called a timeout.

After gathering the players together, Tyronn Lue began to lay out tactics.

"Kyrie, Su, you two switch defenses! Su, follow Thomas. Once there is a pick-and-roll, Tristan returns directly to the basket. If Thomas passes the ball to Horford, Su Tian goes up to cover and interfere with Horford's shooting. "

This tactic was actually decided before, but it was not brought out from the beginning because it was just to test the Green Army.

The timeout ended soon, and players from both sides returned to the court. James made one of two free throws, and the ball was once again given to the Celtics.

3-4

When Thomas came to the frontcourt again, he found that Su Tian was actually defending him. Thomas smiled slightly.

Irving is 191cm tall and Su Tian is 198cm tall. Logically speaking, Su Tian's center of gravity is higher than Irving, making it easier for Thomas to break through.

But this was not the case. Thomas kept changing directions and shaking, but was unable to open up the breakthrough space. Seeing that there was no chance, Thomas was a little panicked, so he chose to break through directly, hoping to rely on his speed advantage to break through Su Tian.

Su Tian was indeed not as fast as Thomas, but he wouldn't be pulled down too much. The two came all the way to the basket, and Thomas shot directly for a layup. Su Tian saw the right opportunity.

boom--

Su Tian succeeded in blocking the shot directly from behind!

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced back into Su Tian's arms.

Su Tian got the ball and immediately started the fast break. At the same time, Irving and James also started to rush down. Because Su Tian started from the basket, the two started from the front court than Su Tian, ​​so Su Tian directly passed the ball to the front player. James.

James took two steps with the ball to attract the defense, and once again passed the ball to Irving in front.

Irving caught the ball and made an easy layup.

5-4

Su Tian's block made Thomas a little confused. Although Su Tian was selected for the first defense this season, Su Tian's defense is more good at interfering with shooting and stealing.

I didn’t expect Su Tian to be so good at blocking shots!

According to common sense, the opponents Thomas faces are all opposing point guards. Those who are taller than himself are not as fast as him, and those who are about the same speed are generally not much taller than him, so it is difficult to block shots behind him.

Who would have thought that he would meet this freak Su Tian? Not only was his speed not much different, he was also so much taller than himself. It was a foul!

The ball was once again given to the Celtics, and Thomas was still facing Su Tian. This time Thomas was going to change the method and call Horford to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Thomas went straight to the basket. Su Tian also quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and followed closely beside Thomas. He was not pulled down much by Thomas, and relied on his height advantage to always stay above Thomas.
