NBA’s aging star system

Su Tian dunked twice in a row, chasing the point difference to 1 point, and the score came to 64-65.

James began to take over the ball and signaled to his teammates to lower the rhythm, slow down and hit the ball steadily.

James came to the frontcourt with the ball, and relied on his personal ability to hit one and successfully hit it.

64-67

James at this time means that as long as I want to score, no one can stop me.

Then the two teams began to fight each other, and the shooting rate began to drop. The reason why the shooting rate dropped was not because everyone's level dropped, but because both sides began to seek stability and the defensive intensity increased.

The two teams remained in a stalemate until halfway through the third quarter, and the point difference still did not change much. Walton took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to take down Su Tian and replace it with rotation players.

Walton is preparing for the fourth quarter, and James also comes off the court to rest.

James is strong, but he is not a superman. If he can rest, it is better to rest.

When the stars of both sides are not present, it depends on the rotation players and second players of both sides.

The Cavaliers have Wade, Jeff Green, and Korver on the bench, and the Lakers have Kuzma, Clarkson, and Pope.

Among them, Kuzma's performance is eye-catching, even more eye-catching than Ball, and he has a strong ability to seize opportunities.

Clarkson's ball-handling offense, including breakthrough points, is also quite effective.

The young Lakers are full of momentum. Facing an experienced combination of elderly stars, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score reached 86-92, and the Lakers were temporarily 6 points behind.

Before Su Tian left the game, the Lakers were 3 points behind. After Su Tian left the game, the Lakers were 6 points behind. In other words, even if Su Tian was not present, the Lakers only lost by 3 points, which was completely within Su Tian's acceptable range.

In the fourth quarter, if Su Tian activates the plug-in, he may not be able to overtake the score and turn defeat into victory.

The Cavaliers naturally know Su Tian's characteristics. James took a break in the third quarter to prepare for Su Tian now.

During the breaks between festivals, the commentary area was extremely lively.

"This is Su's first time back in Cleveland this season. Do you think he is going to make a big news?" Barkley said.

"Big news? What big news? Scored the winning goal against James' defense? How about this script?" Kenny Smith said.

"Oh ho ho ho! That would indeed be big news, but it would not be so friendly to James!" O'Neal said.

"Let's make a simple guess. We all know that SU will chase points in the fourth quarter, so who will win this game?" Barkley said.

"Oh! Was Su successful in chasing points, or was LeBron successful in defending the team? This is a question." Kenny Smith said.

"I think it's Su, because the point difference is not big, and I have confidence in Su." Barkley said.

"In this case, then I support LeBron." O'Neal said immediately.

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

Because both sides played their main players in the third quarter except for the main stars, substitute players were needed in the first half of the fourth quarter.

The Lakers came up with Josh Hart, Su Tian, ​​Kuzma, Randle, and Nance.

The Cavaliers took out Wade, Korver, James, Jeff Green, and Sadie Osman.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Lakers. Hart held the ball through half court and passed the ball to Su Tian.

As soon as Su Tian got the ball, Korver's defense began to increase intensity. After Su Tian avoided Korver's stealer, he broke through Korver's defense with a sudden burst.

Breaking through Korver, this is the first line of defense, followed by James and Jeff Green who come to help defend.

Su Tian dribbled the ball to avoid Jeff Green, but did not get rid of James' defense, so Su Tian hit the ground and passed the ball to Kuzma, who was left open on the outside.

Kuzma caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

With Su Tian's addition, such open three-pointers can be easily grasped.

89-92

James was very surprised at the angle at which Su Tian passed the ball. In James' opinion, there was no angle for the ball to be passed, but Su Tian found it.

"Be careful, Su's passing is more terrifying than his shooting." James turned to another help defender Jeff Green and said.

The ball changed and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Wade came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Hart's defense, Wade wanted to hit one of his own.

But Hart's defense was very active, and one of them followed Wade. Wade's breakthrough did not shake off the defender at all. The two came all the way to the basket, and Wade forced a shot.

boom--

Wade missed a layup, and the rebound was taken by Nance, who passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and immediately started to push and switch offense. James rushed to defend and block. When Su Tian entered the front three-point line with the ball, James finally caught up with Su Tian.

However, only James caught up with the Cavaliers.

Seeing James running to defend him, Su Tian directly passed the ball to Randall, who was unguarded. Randall received the ball and made a layup.

91-92

Su Tian made two consecutive assists in the fourth quarter, chasing the point difference to 1 point.

The ball was once again given to the Cavaliers. This time James advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he directly beat Randall to the mid-range and made a sudden jump shot.

Swah——

91-94

As he gets older, James' shooting becomes more and more stable.

Seeing James hit the ball hard, Su Tian was no longer ambiguous. He also started to beat Korver with the ball and hit a pull-up jumper.

93-94

The score between the two sides was locked. James wanted to widen the gap, but Su Tian wanted to catch up with the lead, and the two sides refused to give in.

After several consecutive rounds, there was no real difference, and Tyronn Lue called a timeout.

The Cavaliers called timeout, not because they found a way to deal with Su Tian, ​​but because they wanted to replace all the main players here and start a decisive battle with the Lakers.

The Lakers are also preparing to use their entire main lineup to compete with the Cavaliers.

For the Cavaliers, Calderon, Jr. Smith, Jae Crowder, James, Love.

For the Lakers, Ball, Su Tian, ​​Ingram, Nance, Lopez.

The task of defending James is still too exhausting. The Lakers chose a wheel-to-wheel battle, with Randle, Kuzma, and Nance playing separately to deal with James.

But when James came back with the first ball, he made a layup directly against Nance, causing Nance to foul, and Nance paid the tuition as soon as he faced him.

Turning around, Su Tian continued to hold the ball to drive his teammates. He broke through with the ball to attract double-teams and passed the ball to Ingram on the outside.

Ingram made a three-pointer.

boom--

The basketball was played, but the rebound was grabbed by Lopez, and the ball was given to Su Tian again.

Su Tian received the ball and shot from mid-range, hitting the ball easily, but the score between the two sides still could not be opened.

For several consecutive rounds, neither side opened up any point difference. They persisted until 3 minutes before the end of the game. The score reached 110-112, and the Lakers were still 2 points behind.
