NBA’s aging star system

Su Tian couldn't bear to see others being more coquettish than him, especially the other camp.

So on the defensive end, Su Tian took the initiative to switch defense with Waiters and faced Ginobili.

Ginobili looked at Su Tian and thought to himself, you are quite brave!

"Manu, you are getting old. Retire quickly. There is no place for you in the league anymore!" Su Tian defended and interfered with his words, using Payton's trash talk that he had not seen for a long time.

"Boy, let me, an old man, teach you a lesson." Ginobili replied.

Facing Su Tian, ​​Ginobili used his signature skill and made a snake-like breakthrough.

Su Tian followed closely, and the Death Coil Badge was always on like a light bulb.

When Ginobili burst into the penalty area, he suddenly raised the ball and tried to shake Su Tian up. Su Tian was not fooled and raised his hands high.

Seeing that he couldn't shake it anymore, Ginobili followed up with a slow European step, with tricky angles and unpredictable rhythm.

Su Tian still didn't take off, but Su Tian remembered that Ginobili, despite his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a master at deceiving fouls.

Just when Ginobili took the last step and had to throw the ball, Su Tian saw the right moment, quickly attacked and stole the ball!

Ginobili really didn't expect that this rookie would dare to defend so boldly?

Seeing that he was intercepted, Ginobili also quickly returned to defense, but the distance between him and Su Tian became farther and farther.

Seeing Su Tian successfully layup and score a fast break, Ginobili also sighed.

Am I really old?

fart! I was the championship last year!

Obviously, although Ginobili is no longer young and cannot catch up with the young and strong Su Tian, ​​his mentality is very good and is not affected. He sighed mainly because he was afraid that the old man would scold him.

Well, as expected, Popovich called a timeout and faced Ginobili with a burst of output.

Tyronn Lue praised Su Tian's defense and encouraged Su Tian to continue and not stop.

Su Tian readily agreed.

When the game started again, Ginobili reduced his isolation and cooperated with his teammates. The Spurs' classic car was fully functional and had reached its optimal run-in.

With the Spurs as a whole, they scored 27-21 in the second quarter. At the end of the first half, the total score was 47-45, with the Spurs leading by 2 points.

James didn't play well enough in the first half and was significantly restricted by Leonard. He only scored 8 points in total in the first half, but he also had 5 assists.

James's offensive failure is also the main reason why the Cavaliers are lagging behind.

In the second half, James must strengthen his offense.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Su Tian came off the court to rest.

As soon as he came on the court, James began to make more moves and continued to break through with the ball. Although the offensive threat was present, the efficiency was too low.

Not only was James' defensive efficiency low, but other people's three-point shooting percentages also began to decline.

Seeing that the Cavaliers couldn't score a three-pointer, the Spurs became even more determined to double-team James.

In the last two minutes of the third quarter, James couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to call a timeout. He ran to Tyronn Lue and muttered a lot.

Then Tyronn Lue turned around and said, "Su, here you go! Shoot the three-pointer!"

Su Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and immediately stood up to prepare to play.

Waiters returned to the bench, and his performance was disastrous. He made 4 of 1 three-pointers and 7 of 2 shots.

The game started again. In the first round, Su Tian received the pass. The Spurs defended James a little too aggressively, and Su Tian got an open position.

Swah——

The three-pointer went into the net successfully, and James was relieved to see it. I trust Su so well.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan received the ball inside, sat Varejao and hit one, hitting the board into the net.

The Cavaliers attacked again. This time the Spurs' defense against James was obviously a little looser, and Manu followed Su Tian.

Su Tian saw that although the Spurs had relaxed their defense against James, James still had to face the dual defense lines of Leonard and Duncan.

So he started his own spiritual movement. I don't know if Ginobili's legs and feet were slow or he was blocked. Anyway, he didn't catch up in time.

James quickly passed the ball, Su Tian caught the ball and shot again, and another three-pointer hit the net.

After Su Tian came on the court and scored 6 points in a row, Popovich cursed angrily.

The two sides fought each other again, and the third quarter ended.

Now that the scores of the Spurs and Cavaliers are rising alternately, Tyronn Lue no longer comes on the bench and directly starts the decisive battle, starting in the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Su Tian was still running all over the court, and James was still being slapped by Leonard.

James was miserable being stuck on by a man for a whole game.

Neither the Spurs nor the Cavaliers got any better opportunities in the fourth quarter. They are both championship-level teams and their defense is not bad.

In the last two minutes, the score was 87 to 85, with the Cavaliers trailing by two points. Both teams were highly focused.

James held the ball at the top of the arc and had no intention of testing the triple threat. He directly turned on the bulldozer mode and forced a layup against Leonard, who was also exhausted.

Just when the ball was released, Duncan, who was beside him, went crazy and slapped James to the side.

Tony Parker hurriedly received the ball, turned around and started the engine, and the French sports car started!

Upon seeing this, Irving quickly followed suit. Irving ran faster without the ball. He caught up soon and began to physically confront Parker.

When the two faced each other at the basket, Parker turned around, trapped Irving, and scored a layup.

89 to 85, Cavaliers, dangerous!

This time it was Irving holding the ball at the top of the arc, and Love was called to pick and roll, and Irving broke through with the ball.

However, the Spurs switched defense in a timely manner and cooperated tacitly. Irving did not find a good shooting opportunity.

When he was about to dribble the ball out again, he turned around and saw Su Tian running out of the open space.

Irving sent the ball to the bottom corner behind him, and Su Tian took the ball and shot directly. Under the influence of the king of the final quarter, the three-point shooter in the bottom corner, and the catch-and-shooter.

Swah——

Three points successfully hit the net!

89 is better than 88!

Things seem to be turning around again!

But there was not much time left, and the Cavaliers began to press the whole court!

But it didn't work out.

Ginobili received the ball and passed it to Duncan, who sat down and hit Varejao.

Seeing that Varejao couldn't guard Duncan, he got angry and slapped him, causing a foul.

Duncan shook his red hand and stood on the free throw line.

Duncan adjusted his breathing and took the first free throw, but missed!

Duncan also has a big heart. He didn't panic at all when he missed the free throw and prepared for the second free throw.

On the second free throw, the ball was shot and the ball jumped twice in the basket.

Swah——

The ball successfully hit the net.

90 to 88, the Cavaliers are one goal behind.

And there is only 17 seconds left.

The Cavaliers called a timeout, and Tyronn Lue arranged tactics. As for what tactics.

Um, does giving the ball to LeBron count as a tactic?

At the end of the timeout, Love served the ball from the sidelines, and Jens came out with a few reverse runs to successfully catch the ball.

James held the basketball tightly and glanced up at the timer.

When the pressure reached the last 7 seconds, James started to break through.

Leonard looked at James' indomitable momentum, seemingly rushing to the inside for two points, without any panic or any expression.

Sure enough, as Leonard expected, James stopped the ball outside the three-point line and prepared to shoot.

At this moment, Leonard's big hand struck out quickly and his fingertips touched the basketball!

James' fatal mistake!

Leonard grabbed the ball and ran towards the frontcourt before Leonard could reach the frontcourt.

The red light comes on and time is up.

James put his hands on his hips and looked at the scoreboard, as if he was back in this summer's finals.

The helpless figure looked particularly desolate.
