NBA’s aging star system

On November 11, the Cavaliers played against the Pelicans at home.

The leading star of the Pelicans is Davis, the big-browed brother.

But the team's most powerful offensive player is Ryan Anderson, who has a round face and only knows three-pointers.

The former best rookie, Tyreke Evans, is also in the Pelicans, serving as the ball handler to organize the team.

At the guard position is Jrue Holiday, a point guard with strong defense.

Su Tian thought this was an easy game, but something went wrong halfway through.

Ryan Anderson hit seven three-pointers in the first half, giving the Pelicans a 7-point halftime lead over the Cavaliers 56-51.

During the halftime break, James said nothing. He only made bold statements in front of the media yesterday. It would be a bit of a slap in the face to lose today.

Even if he is James, he will definitely be questioned by the outside world.

Before the start of the second half, James emphasized defense to the team, focusing on being wary of Anderson's three-pointers.

At the beginning of the second half, James turned on the bulldozer mode, relying on his tough body to hit layups many times.

Anderson was given special attention and he made 2 of 0 three-pointers in the third quarter. For such a role player, as long as he is given special attention, he can definitely be restricted.

In the third quarter, thanks to James' performance, the Cavaliers went 34-23 in a single quarter and led by 6 points in total.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Su Tian was replaced. As the schedule deepened, James also trusted Su Tian more and more. After James' guidance, Irving gradually found his job as a point guard.

Because of the passing of the two big guys, Su Tian played well in the fourth quarter, quite as powerful as Anderson in the first half. Made 5 of 4 three-pointers and scored one hard layup.

In the end, under the supervision of James and the power of Su Tian's three-pointer, the Cavaliers defeated the Pelicans 120 to 111. The game against the Pelicans also shocked everyone on the Cavaliers into a cold sweat.

There are no underdogs in the NBA. A weak team can also overturn a strong team, and role players can also become the winner.

After the game, James stepped forward to hug Davis and didn't know what they said together.

Su Tian's performance in this game was not very impressive, but he still left a deep impression on everyone in the fourth quarter. Now the local fans in Cleveland have given him a nickname.

There is no such thing as a key kid or a cold-blooded killer, but no one calls him the King of the End.

Su Tian was also quite helpless, as if he had insulted such a powerful purple badge.

But no matter how powerful you are, what can you do if you don’t have the ball in your hand? This may be the problem for strong teams.

Although he won the game against the Pelicans, James did not relax.

Because the next battle is the real tough battle.

San Antonio Spurs!

The man who made him fall into ruin, the man who told him that the future is yours, but still holds the championship.

Last year, James fell at the hands of that man. This time, I have better teammates, and I must win back! James secretly made up his mind.

On November 11, the Spurs came.

Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Boris Diaw, Tim Duncan.

James looked at these familiar faces and felt extremely excited.

Su Tian is also very excited. In this game, he will directly face Danny Green and Manu Ginobili.

Playing against famous players is a good time to prove yourself! It’s also a good time to show off your worth!

At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers still had the starting lineup of Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, and Varejao.

Waiters' playing time is getting less and less, and it is estimated that the time for a trade is coming soon.

There were jump balls from both sides, and Varejao struggled to grab it.

When Irving received the ball, he didn't dare to play tricks, pushed forward steadily, and passed it to James.

James held the ball and observed the formation. The defensive tactics were still the same, but they were particularly effective.

But this time is different from the past. Su Tian took advantage of the Spurs' attention and quickly interspersed his movement. With Love's thick pick-and-roll, he successfully ran out of a short space.

At this time, James was still advancing with the ball. He passed the ball without looking at anyone and successfully passed it to Su Tian.

Su Tian received the ball without hesitation, shot directly, and hit a three-pointer.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Spurs' poor defense, but the Spurs' defensive attention and pressure are all concentrated on James' side. Compared with the Cavaliers' successful tactics, it is more like Su Tian stole a chicken.

The Cavaliers' offense turned into a quick defense, with Parker holding the ball and advancing slowly.

When Duncan ran to the frontcourt, he used Duncan's body to break through inside, and the Cavaliers quickly shrank their lineup.

But Su Tian didn't. Su Tian followed Danny Green closely, fearing that Tielin would be separated by three points.

However, Green's success in attracting Su Tian's defense was a success for the entire team. Green's mission is complete.

Parker took advantage of the Cavaliers' lineup to shrink and passed the ball to Leonard on the outside. Leonard received the ball and made a two-pointer, making a steady hit.

Leonard may not be very stable in three-point shooting at this period, and you can question his free throws, but he has really practiced the mid-range.

It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack again. This time it was James who attracted the defense, and Irving singled out Parker with his younger body.

Irving pushed the ball inside and scored a layup.

When Irving is not a genius, he is still very good at playing, and various difficult goals are not uncommon.

The Spurs still take their time when switching offense and defense, like a classic car. However, this classic car now has a new core, Leonard.

After a series of pick-and-roll defense changes, Leonard faced Su Tian.

Su Tian was also confused. Is my defense not bad? Why are you all staring at me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?

In fact, this is also a stereotype, thinking that yellow people are physically weak, have poor confrontation, and have no defense.

Su Tian was not willing to be looked down upon like this, so he put all his strength into fighting with Leonard.

While guarding Leonard closely, the Death Coil badge was always on.

Leonard was also disturbed by Su Tian and was unable to hold the ball stably. He glanced at Su Tian without saying a word, and then relied on his taller height and longer legs.

He pushed Su Tian into the three-point line with a big stride. When he saw the right time, he collected the ball and took off, shooting from mid-range.

Su Tian followed Leonard every step of the way, taking off at the same time as Leonard to interfere with the shot.

Under the influence of the defensive shock badge, the ball rolled twice on the basket and finally miraculously landed.

Su Tian was speechless. Did you use the ball that killed Embiid now?

James patted Su Tian on the shoulder, "Good defense." He said and ran forward.

No superstar is easy to guard against, and those who can be guarded are not superstars.

Su Tian shook his head and followed.

The two sides went back and forth for several rounds, because the Spurs really had a slow pace and were good at both offense and defense.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were 23 to 20, with the Cavaliers leading by 3 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Irving rested off the court as usual, and Su Tian played the one position.

Su Tian used Varejao to break through the pick-and-roll at the beginning. After attracting Duncan's defense, he gave the ball to Varejao who was following the pass.

Varejao caught the ball and put it in the blue and successfully scored.

25 to 20, Su Tian had already seen Popovich yelling at the sidelines.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack. Ginobili held the ball, faced Waiters, made a snake-like breakthrough to the basket, and scored a European layup.

Su Tian glanced at Ginobili. Su Tian didn't expect this bald man to be so good at fighting at such an old age.

Hum, you deserve to be bald if you are so good at fighting. After Su Tian finished speaking, he touched his hair.

Yeah, still so smooth.
