NBA’s aging star system

On April 4, the entire Cavaliers team faced the Pistons at home.

Although this game is all about the main force, it mostly involves training, which is basically used to help these big guys get in shape.

Before the game started, Tyronn Lue approached the starting four and said that they would not be allowed to play for a long time and that they would just guarantee a win.

What do you say about the Pistons team? They are currently ranked twelfth in the Eastern Conference, with a winning rate of less than 31% and only wins.

This situation is relatively easy.

The game process was just as Su Tian thought. At halftime, the Cavaliers were already leading by 23 points.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Tyronn Lue did not let the main player play. He finished the third quarter as a substitute and was recovered by a few points, but it was harmless.

In the fourth quarter, Tyronn Lue put Su Tian on again and had fun for a while, but was replaced again within five minutes of playing.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Pistons 117-97. Su Tian scored just 20 points and Smith scored the highest score of 28 points.

Two days after the Cavaliers easily defeated the Pistons, the final game of the regular season finally arrived.

On April 4, the Cavaliers faced the Wizards at home.

In the last game, James and Smith took turns, and some of the Wizards' main players, such as Wall and Bill, did not play.

Because the record rankings of both teams have stabilized, there is no record pressure, and they are both firmly in the playoffs, they will naturally not fight hard in the last game.

Su Tian was also replaced after scoring 20 points on the court.

In the end, the Cavaliers won the game 113-108. At this point, the Cavaliers' 14-15 regular season is over.

In the post-game interview, James expressed his determination to win the championship.

Tyronn Lue also bluntly stated that the Cavaliers' goal this season is the championship.

With the end of the regular season, the various data lists have also come to a conclusion.

14-15 season scoring champion: Russell Westbrook, from Thunder, averaging 28.1 points per game.

Blueboard king: DeAndre Jordan, from the Clippers, averaging 15 rebounds per game.

Assist leader: Chris Paul, from the Clippers, averaging 10.2 assists per game.

Block leader: Anthony Davis, from Pelicans, averaging 2.9 blocks per game.

Steals leader: Leonard, from the Spurs, averaging 2.3 steals per game.

而苏天本赛季场均20.2分6.3个助攻3.2个篮板1.7个抢断0.5个盖帽。

Su Tian took his own data sheet and looked at it happily. Judging from the data, he can be regarded as an All-Star.

Counting themselves, the Cavaliers have four All-Stars. Tsk tsk tsk. As long as nothing unexpected happens, they will be a championship-level team.

As the regular season ends and the data list is determined, the Eastern and Western record lists are also determined.

The first to eighth teams in the Western Conference are: Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, and New Orleans Pelicans.

The Eastern Conference is: Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets.

At the last moment, the Nets and Pacers had the same record, but the Nets had a winning advantage, so the Nets successfully entered the playoffs.

The Cavaliers perfectly avoided the Celtics, and at least Love's arm was saved.

The Eagles' record this year frightened many people. They achieved 59 wins, almost 60 wins, while the Cavaliers, ranked first in the Eastern Conference, had exactly 60 wins, only one more win than the Eagles.

Tyronn Lue has controlled his record well, not only maintaining first place in the Eastern Conference, but also making timely adjustments to his rotation to avoid potential injuries.

In short, if there are no accidents, Tyronn Lue's position as head coach is secure.

The Cavaliers' first-round opponent has also been determined-the Brooklyn Nets.

This season's Nets lineup is not bad, with Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Thaddeus Young, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Brook Lopez.

Looking at the lineup alone, it won't fall to 38 wins and 44 losses, but the Nets have such magic.

Basically, when all the All-Stars come to the Nets, their form will decline, or they will be injured, or they will age, or they will be troubled by off-court factors.

No matter what, it will make you unable to play well in the game.

To be honest, Su Tian really didn't want to go to such a legendary place, if he had the choice.

On April 4, the playoffs started, but the Cavaliers were not scheduled for the first day of the game. The Cavaliers were scheduled for the 19th.

On the first day of the playoffs, in the Eastern Conference, the Wizards defeated the Raptors 93-86 and the Bulls defeated the Bucks 103-91.

The Western Conference Warriors defeated the Pelicans 106-99, and the Rockets defeated the Mavericks 118-108.

Both sides went up and down normally, without any surprises.

On April 4, at Quicken Loans Arena, the Nets came.

Before the game started, Tyronn Lue emphasized to Su Tian the threat of Joe in singles and the importance of Su Tian's defensive tasks.

"Su, Joe is one of the Nets' strongest scoring points. Although Johnson has average athletic ability, lacks explosive power, and is not very fast, he is good at using ball control combined with his height advantage to defeat shorter opponents in the low post. It worked surprisingly well.”

"However, as he gets older, Johnson goes to the basket less and less and prefers to pull up directly when playing singles against his opponent. So, pay more attention to his shooting."

Su Tian looked at the singles Joe on the field, and remembered the coach's instructions to him. Joe Johnson was 201cm tall, a little taller than Su Tian, ​​but not obvious.

Although Su Tian may not be able to block Joe's shots in isolation, Su Tian can make his shooting percentage extremely low.

Death Coil + Defensive Shock is enough to make single Joe drink a pot.

A whistle blows and the game begins.

Mozgov successfully grabbed the ball, James got the ball and pushed it to the frontcourt.

Irving followed from behind and took the pass from James. Obviously, the Cavaliers' first attack did not start from James, but from Irving.

Irving faced Deron, called Love to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to break through inside. Deron and Thaddeus Young chased Irving at the same time.

Irving passed the ball without looking behind the player and passed it to Love at the top of the arc at a weird angle.

Love received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly, and hit a three-pointer.

Every game in the playoffs is a war, but it seems that the Nets are not ready yet. It was the mistake in the defensive cooperation between the two that led to Love's easy open shot.

It was the Nets' turn to attack. Joe ran to the low post, received a pass from Deron, and prepared to post up Su Tian.

Johnson pushed his back twice, not fully exerting his strength, but just tentatively.

Suddenly turned around, connected with a step jumper, and shot.

Su Tian was highly focused and paid attention to Johnson's shooting, but he was still separated by Johnson's step.

Bang——shua——

The basketball bounced twice on the rim, and Joe made a single shot.

Su Tian looked at the singles Joe. He was indeed an all-star player, and there was something about him.
