NBA’s aging star system

As soon as the third quarter started, the rhythm picked up.

The first possession of the third quarter belonged to the Cavaliers.

Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to James. James didn't waste any time facing Durant and started the breakthrough directly.

Because Green and Love are now facing off, if Love is allowed to pick and roll, James is likely to face double-team defense by Green and Durant.

So it's better to let Love smoke directly in the bottom corner, take Green away, open up space, and limit Green's help defense.

James carried Durant all the way to the basket, but Durant still covered the position above, not giving James room to take action.

Logically speaking, James really has no room to take action. He will either strike or be blocked.

But James was very experienced. When he was collecting the ball and about to go for a layup, he bumped Durant without any trace. This time, the space for the layup was opened up, and he succeeded in the layup.

62-60

Su Tian saw it clearly from the sidelines. Although this small action was a bit suspicious of a foul, it was very small. If the referee didn't call it, it was a good ball.

Durant only complained to the referee for a few words and then got into the game.

Obviously Durant also knows that this kind of complaint is useless, it is just a simple complaint.

The ball possession was changed, the Warriors served quickly, and Curry advanced quickly with the ball.

The Warriors' rhythm is highlighted by one word, fast!

Quickly advancing to the frontcourt, Curry made an emergency stop outside the three-point line and shot the three-pointer directly.

Swah——

The three-pointer was like a missile, hitting the net accurately.

62-63

The ball was given to the Cavaliers again. Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and started a singles directly against Curry.

Seeing how relaxed and casual Curry is, Irving has long been unable to contain his desire to attack.

After continuous dribbling to mobilize Curry's defensive focus, he quickly broke through, and Curry followed closely beside Irving.

At this time, because the other four members of the Cavaliers are all capable of three-pointers, the entire formation is spread out and the space under the basket is very wide.

Curry and Irving walked all the way to the basket. Irving collected the ball and took off, and Curry followed suit.

Although it was difficult for Curry to block shots with his short hands, Irving was afraid of affecting his layup, so he added a lever action.

Bang——shua——

Basketball hits the board into the net.

64-63

The ball changed again, and the Warriors still served quickly, but this time it was Durant holding the ball forward.

Durant quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Curry and Clay ran from both sides to the bottom corner. For a while, the three Warriors disrupted the Cavaliers' defensive formation with just running.

Durant also quickly passed the ball to Green. Green did not stop the ball and passed the ball again to Curry who just had a chance.

Curry received the ball and broke through, successfully attracted the defense and then passed the ball to Durant again.

At this time, there was no defender in front of Durant, so Durant directly took a two-point shot.

Swah——

Durant made a solid hit.

64-65

The scores on both sides increased alternately, making it difficult to tell who had the advantage.

But after a few rounds, the situation on the court became obvious.

The Warriors relied on more flexible tactics and running to successfully take the lead, leading by 6 points in half a quarter.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout in time, making substitutions and adjustments while emphasizing defense on the players.

Soon, the timeout ended and the game continued. Su Tian came on the court to replace Korver.

So the Cavaliers' lineup became, Irving, Su Tian, ​​Jr. Smith, James, and Love.

As soon as Su Tian came on the court, he felt the speed and rhythm of the Warriors' fifth primary school. It was a suffocating feeling.

Irving held the ball and wanted to beat Curry alone, but he didn't have a suitable chance, so he had to pass the ball to Su Tian. Clay was guarding Su Tian at this time, and Su Tian didn't have a suitable chance, so he passed the ball to James again.

James got the ball and directly broke through Durant, but was double-teamed by Durant and Iguodala.

So James had no choice but to pass the ball to Jr. Smith, who took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

boom--

Basketball and iron.

The rebound was taken by Green, and the Warriors' fast break started again.

Su Tian only had time to keep up with Clay, and was unable to help defend others.

Su Tian's current defense is very effective in single defense. Whether it is defending with the ball or without the ball, he is very good at it.

However, it is still insufficient in terms of assistance and defense, and it lacks some firepower.

The Warriors' fast break ball rotated very quickly. Su Tian only killed one point, but the other points were all alive.

In the end, Curry received a pass from Green and scored a layup.

Although the Cavaliers are at a disadvantage, they are still the defending champions, and the point difference has remained within 10 points.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Warriors failed to open the point difference to double digits.

At the end of the first three quarters, the score reached 85-93, and the Warriors temporarily led by 8 points.

Because both sides fought fiercely in the third quarter, the first half of the fourth quarter will depend on the depth of both sides' lineups.

For the Warriors, Livingston, Clay, Clark, David West, Pachulia.

The lineup sent by the Cavaliers is Deron, Su Tian, ​​Korver, Richard Jefferson, and Thompson.

The first possession of the ball was given to the Warriors. Livingston came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Deron's defense, he began to call on his teammates for tactical cooperation and passed the ball to West.

Although West is already a veteran, it has to be said that he still has life on his hands.

After continuously hitting Jefferson on the back, he turned around and shot.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

85-95

The ball was given to the Cavaliers. Deron came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Facing Klay's defense, Su Tian chose to call Thompson for a pick-and-roll.

Seeing Thompson go out for the pick-and-roll, Pachulia did not follow him. Instead, he stood near the free throw line, waiting for an opportunity.

Su Tian used the pick and roll to directly start the breakthrough. Pachulia wanted to help prevent interference, but was too slow to keep up with Su Tian in time.

Su Tian went all the way to the basket and scored an easy layup.

87-95

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

This time Livingston wanted to find an offensive opportunity for Clay, but Su Tian followed too closely, so Livingston had to hold the ball to the low post, preparing to hit Deron with his back.

After testing with his back, Livingston turned over and shot a jumper.

Deron defended very well, did not give Livingston a chance, and provided sufficient interference.

boom--

Basketball strikes, Pachulia wants to collect the rebound, but Su Tian suddenly rushes over and jumps high to grab the rebound.

The moment Su Tian grabbed the rebound and landed, he sprinted quickly and started the fast break.

At this time, the Warriors' lineup is not very fast, so it is a good opportunity to play fast break.

So Su Tian took the lead and came to the frontcourt, and only Livingston behind him had time to keep up.
