NBA’s aging star system

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

The lineups of both sides are basically bright cards. The Green Army's main focus is Thomas.

The Cavaliers mainly attack Su Tian. In order to make Su Tian play more comfortably, Tyronn Lue sent Love to assist.

The game continued, the first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Green Army, and Thomas came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Su Tian again, Thomas regained his confidence.

The NBA is a league of tall people. If a small person wants to survive, he must have a strong fighting spirit.

Thomas didn't force forward, but called his teammates for a pick-and-roll. Su Tian saw the pick-and-roll coming from the corner of his eye, so he quickly went back.

But I didn't expect Thomas to shoot a three-pointer directly, which really caught Su Tian off guard.

The basketball hit the net accurately, 92-78, the point difference was approaching.

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

Su Tian also called on his teammates to pick and roll, and directly hit the basket with the help of Love's pick and roll.

Thomas is too short, so he naturally won't switch to Love and quickly bypasses the pick-and-roll to chase Su Tian.

But Love's three-pointer is still something the Green Army is afraid of, so the basket at this time is extremely wide.

Thomas Jr. rushed to catch up with Su Tian before Su Tian collected the ball, trying to interfere with the shooting, making small movements with his hands.

But Su Tian was not affected at all. He collected the ball easily, took a European step, and scored a layup.

94-78

Seeing Su Tian score easily, Tyronn Lue was relieved. With the point difference advantage, he was not afraid of the opponent scoring, but he was afraid of not scoring himself.

The ball was given to the Celtics again, and Thomas wanted to repeat his old tricks, but this time Su Tian followed closely and did not give Thomas a chance.

Thomas had no choice but to pass the ball to Horford, who caught the ball and shot.

This time Horford took action quickly and more resolutely than before, and Su Tian didn't have time to interfere.

Swah——

94-80

The Green Army continued to score.

Su Tian once again held the ball to attack. This time after the pick-and-roll, Su Tian directly shot a three-pointer. Thomas was limited by his height and was unable to cause effective interference.

97-80

In the next few rounds, Thomas and Su Tian refused to give in to each other, one ball for you and one ball for me, but the point difference did not change much.

In other words, there are changes, but they are always under Su Tian's control.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Stevens called a timeout, but the point difference remained unchanged. The Greens had to find a way to change their formation.

The Cavaliers also began to change their formation, but it became very simple, just bring in all the main players.

The timeout soon ended and the game continued.

When Stevens saw the entire Cavaliers lineup, his expression didn't change much. It seemed that he had expected it.

After returning from the timeout, Su Tian was still defending Thomas. Thomas still started in the pick-and-roll, but this time he was obviously passing the ball more, and the Green Army players were running more actively.

After continuous conduction and movement, Crowder really caught an opportunity to cut. Horford passed the ball in time, and Crowder caught the ball and scored a layup.

97-82

Although the Green Army is scoring goals, the Cavaliers are also scoring. As long as the point difference is still there, the Cavaliers are still safe.

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

After Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball, he passed the ball directly to James.

Facing Crowder, James chose to call Love for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to rush directly into the paint. Horford wanted to block it but before he could reach it, James had already scored a layup.

99-82

In the next few rounds, the score difference hovered around 15 points.

Finally, three minutes before the end of the game, Stevens reluctantly took down all the main players and replaced them with substitute players.

The Cavaliers saw that the opponent had made substitutions and surrendered, so they also replaced all the main players and sent in water dispenser players.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers successfully won the game 117-104, with a big score of 1-0, and the Cavaliers temporarily took the lead.

After the first game, the Cavaliers found out that the Green Army's base was not deep enough to pose a threat.

In this game, Thomas was defended by Su Tian, ​​and his statistics were not good. He scored 17 points, 9 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal. Half of the points were scored when he was not in position with Su Tian.

The best statistic on the Green Army's side is Jae Crowder, who scored 21 points, 5 assists and 8 rebounds. It's not that James' defense is bad, but that Crowder felt too hot this time and performed much better than usual.

骑士这边，詹姆斯拿到25分7助攻9篮板2抢断，欧文11分6助攻2篮板2抢断。

Su Tian scored 32 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He was the best player on the Cavaliers. He not only limited Thomas on the defensive end, but also took the lead on the offensive end and was named the best player in the game.

The Cavaliers' game has just ended, and the Western Conference Finals will follow the next day.

Because Leonard was injured, the Spurs had no choice but to change their lineup and bring out Mills, Danny Green, Jonathan Simmons, Aldridge, and Pau Gasol.

The Warriors are still the regular starters, Curry, Klay, Durant, Green, and Pachulia.

After Leonard retired from injury, this series was basically nothing interesting. It was only a matter of time before the Warriors won.

This game was no exception. The Warriors hit a 33-16 offensive climax in the first quarter, leading by 17 points in a single quarter.

Then in the second quarter, they continued to pursue fiercely, and once again scored 39-28 in a single quarter, winning another 11 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors already led by 28 points, which has basically entered garbage time for the Warriors.

In the third quarter, the Spurs wanted to chase points. Although they also scored a high score of 31 points in a single quarter, the Warriors were even higher, scoring 34 points in a single quarter, and the point difference came to 31 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs gave up directly, and Popovich directly replaced all the substitutes and declared surrender.

Cole also replaced all the main players and easily won the game.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Spurs 136-100. After the game, Popovich turned around and went back directly.

Obviously, Popovich has a lot of resentment towards the Warriors and is still angry about what happened in the last game, but it is true that this makes everyone angry.

May 5, Game 19 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

At the beginning of the game, Su Tian defended Thomas alone, which resulted in Thomas having to be controlled by Stevens for playing time.

在苏天的“帮助”下，小托马斯全场只拿到2分6助攻3篮板，投篮6中0，只罚球拿到2分。

Thomas went from All-Star guard to holding back in an instant.

The Cavaliers lived up to expectations and easily won the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals 130-86.

On the Cavaliers' side, James, Irving, Love, and Su Tian all scored 20+ points. It can be said that everyone broke out and easily defeated the Green Army.

After the end, the Cavaliers flew to Boston the next day to prepare for Game 3.

As for the Western Conference, Game 3 has already begun.

The Spurs continue to change their formation, bringing out Mills, Green, Simmons, Kyle Anderson, and Aldridge.
