NBA’s aging star system

The Cavaliers' team atmosphere after the game was pretty good.

Although the first game was lost.

However, perhaps because of Su Tian's butterfly effect, Irving has not yet shown an injury trend.

After the training on June 6, the two teams still have one day of rest.

The second game will not start until the 8th.

During training on the 7th, Irving was still alive and kicking.

Su Tian couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

The Seven Jedi Knights should have been killed by themselves.

As for Irving, let it happen.

Time passes quickly and fleetingly.

The 8th arrived in a blink of an eye.

On the night of the 8th, Oracle Arena.

Players from both sides played with confidence.

On the Warriors' side, Curry leads the Warriors' main force.

The Cavaliers are still led by James.

It's still Bodog and Thompson doing the jump ball.

Although both of them lacked time on the court due to some reasons.

But their starting positions are still very solid.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.

It was Thompson who still relied on his better bounce to grab the jump ball.

Get the first ball.

All Warriors retreated quickly.

It can be seen that this retreat speed should be strictly trained and will never give the opponent a chance for a fast break.

Irving got the ball and watched the Warriors retreat quickly, so he also slowed down.

Hold the ball steadily and come to the frontcourt.

Just when everyone thought Irving was going to pass the ball directly to James.

Irving gestured to Thompson.

Is this a pick-and-roll? singles?

Not only did the fans make confused noises, but even the commentary box started discussing it.

Because fans who experienced the last game can clearly see it.

The Cavaliers are at their most powerful when the ball is in James' hands.

"Kenny, what do you think of Irving's choice?" Barkley tentatively asked Kenny Smith beside him.

"How should I put it? Letting Irving play at the beginning may be a strategy of Tyronn Lue. After all, James cannot be allowed to play from beginning to end." Kenny Smith said.

"Yeah, James is not young anymore. He is also an old man in his thirties. I don't know how many more years he can play." Barkley responded.

Just when the two of them were sighing at James' age.

Irving and Thompson worked together on a pick-and-roll, broke into the paint, and hit the board with a high throw.

Irving represented the Cavaliers and took the lead.

It's the Warriors' turn to attack.

Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Still relying on Green's pick-and-roll, Curry successfully faced off with Love.

Curry still has to pursue Love.

And Barnes also pulled to the bottom corner early to open up space.

But James doesn't do this and has to stay two steps away from Barnes.

Obviously they adhered to the principle of the previous game, helping to defend Curry and letting go of Barnes.

Barnes is also helpless. Who can he rely on if he can't make a shot?

Curry keeps dribbling the ball to mobilize Love's focus.

Love knew Curry was going to break through, but he couldn't keep up.

Curry saw the opportunity and broke through instantly, but Love's defense had no effect.

The moment Curry stepped onto the free throw line with one foot, James also started to help defend and double-team.

Curry also knows that facing James for a layup under the basket is a recipe for disaster.

So Curry decisively passed the ball to Barnes who was left open in the bottom corner.

Barnes received the ball and took the shot without hesitation this time.

Swah——

Barnes successfully hit an undefended three-pointer.

When Barnes saw the ball hit the net, he clenched his fist fiercely.

I want you to pay back double the amount of anger you received in the previous scene!

Seeing Barnes scoring, James didn't care.

It’s just one ball and the game has just begun.

It's the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Irving is still holding the ball, and James moves to attract the defense.

By the way, although James does not mainly attack and hold the ball.

But James' threat is indeed great, and the Warriors dare not ignore it.

This gave Owen a chance.

This time Irving didn't call a pick-and-roll at all.

Instead, he took advantage of James' movement to attract the defense and directly broke through from Curry's right side.

Curry was unaware and was taken advantage of by Irving.

Irving led all the way to the basket.

The basket is very empty at this time.

Irving got it right with an easy layup.

4-3, the two teams started to cling to each other again.

Warriors ball.

Curry continues to call Green for pick-and-rolls.

This time Irving tried to squeeze through, but Green grabbed his arm covertly and was unable to follow in time.

Owen shook his arms.

This guy's deadly attack actually hurts so much.

Curry once again successfully matched up with Love.

Still the same tactics as the previous round.

Curry broke through Love's defense and burst toward the basket.

James still firmly helps defend.

Curry passed the ball and found Barnes.

Perhaps it was the hit on the previous ball that caused Barnes' confidence to double.

This time, Barnes shot more decisively, directly shooting a three-pointer.

However, decisiveness is not a life-saving straw for Barnes.

boom--

Barnes missed a three-pointer.

James turned around, grabbed the rebound, and began to rush forward.

The moment James got the rebound, Irving also started and rushed forward.

Because of the defense change, Green has been following Irving.

So Green is just one step behind Irving and following Irving.

As James advanced with the ball, he saw Irving advancing.

James saw the opportunity and passed the ball to Irving.

After Irving caught the ball, he took two steps and started collecting the ball in three steps.

Green, who was following behind, was about to lose his guard.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and reached out to grab Owen's arm.

Irving, who was moving at high speed, didn't notice Green's movements.

Still maintaining the layup posture.

Then, tragedy happened.

"Shh-"

"ah!!--"

The sound of the basketball entering the net and Irving's screams sounded at the same time.

Irving was seen lying on the ground, holding his left arm tightly with his right hand, looking very painful.

Seeing this, Tyronn Lue quickly called a timeout.

Medical staff ran to the pitch.

James ran to the scene immediately.

Quickly ask about Owen's situation.

Irving is an integral part of the Cavaliers' championship success.

Without Irving, the Cavaliers' chances of winning the championship will drop significantly.

It's impossible for James not to be nervous.

The instigator, Green, trotted back to the bench with an innocent expression on his face.

As for Su Tian, ​​to be honest, Su Tian was dumbfounded the moment it happened.

Su Tian didn't know if this was historical inertia or some other reason.

But after Su Tian reacted.

Su Tian was very angry.

Putting aside the fact that Irving is his teammate, it is absolutely impossible for you to say that Green, a dirty guy, did nothing.

When Su Tian, ​​who had experienced anger, came to find Green.

Green has already run back to the bench.

Su Tian secretly thought it was a pity, he had to learn from Ingram.

If you encounter something like this in the future, you have to rush faster!

The medical staff on the field helped Irving back to the locker room.

Tyronn Lue urgently called the team together.

"Kyrie probably won't be able to play in this game. The next game will be our most difficult game. I hope you are all ready."

Tyronn Lu looked around and finally looked at Su Tian.
