NBA’s aging star system
Chapter 143 Revenge of the Bucks (Page 12)
After losing to the Bucks, the Cavaliers continued their road trip to the Motor City to challenge the Pistons.
There is nothing noteworthy about the Pistons this season. In fact, the Pistons in the past two years have not been very good.
Except that a little fan of James, Stewart, came out from the back.
At this stage, the Pistons' leading star is Drummond, Andre Drummond.
As soon as the game started, James showed a strong desire to score.
Su Tian was also happy to see the results, after all, Su Tian was not strong enough in the first three quarters.
James's continuous breakthroughs forced the Pistons to shrink their defense and double-team James to help defend.
But as a result, opportunities began to appear on the outside. In the first quarter, Su Tian hit two three-pointers and Jr. also hit one.
Love hit two long two-pointers.
James scored and assisted twice, widening the point difference in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Pistons by 33 points 25-8.
In the second quarter, James handed the ball to Su Tian, who continued to cooperate with Love in pick-and-rolls.
The Pistons' defense has obviously improved a lot after being trained by Van Gundy, but Su Tian still has a way to deal with it.
Because the Pistons' defense relies more on overall and tactical bonuses, individual defense on the outside is not strong.
Su Tian's direct shot after the pick-and-roll hit the Pistons from the outside.
But when the inside is assisting with defense against Su Tian, Su Tian will break through the European step for a layup or pass the ball to a teammate who is cutting through the air.
Even if James doesn't exert any force, relying solely on the cooperation of Su Tian and Love, the Pistons have begun to be unable to keep up.
The only inside line that is considered weak is that Drummond failed to perform very explosively despite the turns of Mozgov and Thompson.
At the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers already led the Pistons by 60 points, 48-12.
During the halftime break, Tyronn Lue did not make any special arrangements at all, but only emphasized the protection of rebounds towards Thompson and Mozgov.
Drummond's rebounding was very good. The Cavaliers missed a few offensive rebounds in the first half, but it didn't hurt.
Soon the halftime break ended and the third quarter began.
Su Tian took a rest off the court as usual, and James led the team on the court.
Although James is equipped with substitutes and role players.
But with James here, there is a basic guarantee.
Sure enough, in the third quarter, the Pistons tried their best to chase points, but James stabilized the situation.
When the Pistons saw the Cavaliers' lineup, they understood that this was the Pistons' last chance.
At the beginning of this season, the Cavaliers, as a championship team, have been studied by the entire league.
The Cavaliers' state in the fourth quarter was noticed by all head coaches interested in competing for the championship.
Especially Su Tian.
James was not on the court in the first half of the fourth quarter, which logically meant it was a good opportunity to chase points.
But several teams have frequently overturned during this period.
The reason is Su Tian.
Su Tian, who was full of firepower in the fourth quarter, added a difficult point for all teams that want to win the championship.
The Pistons don't have anything particularly good to do.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Su Tian held the ball hard and played singles, but the Pistons couldn't hold down the outside line at all.
In turn, when the Pistons attack, they will be locked up by Su Tian.
Since the battle with Wade, everyone has seen and recognized Su Tian's defense.
The Pistons don't have any particularly powerful players on the outside, so they can't break through Su Tian's defense.
In addition, the Cavaliers already had a 10-point lead, and James was not in a hurry to play.
This season, there have been several situations where the opponent gave up before James even exerted his strength in the fourth quarter.
This game looks similar.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Tyronn Lue put James up.
But before James held the ball for two rounds, Van Gundy called a timeout.
James is helpless, and his data has dropped.
But you have to ask James if he is willing. Of course James is also willing. He can do things like scoring at any time, but there are not many chances to win the championship.
Now the team's atmosphere is just right and the chemical reaction is in place. James is very smart and there is no need to destroy it for the sake of data.
After all, no matter how good Su Tian is, the outside world will not regard Su Tian as the boss of the team.
This is different from when he faced Wade in the Heat.
Facing Su Tian, James still has this confidence.
In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Pistons 105-93 and returned home with the victory.
Next, the Cavaliers will have three consecutive home games, against the Bucks, Hawks and Magic respectively.
The Cavaliers' first defeat of the new season was caused by the Bucks. This time back at home, the entire Cavaliers team is fully committed to revenge.
On November 11th, at Quicken Loans Arena, the Bucks arrived.
The Bucks' lineup includes McAway, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker, and Greg Monroe.
Now sitting on the Bucks' coaching bench is Jason Kidd.
With the help of Kidd, Antetokounmpo is now showing his talents.
Soon, the game begins.
Mozgov touched the ball first and passed it to Su Tian.
Su Tian advanced forward with the ball and gave the ball directly to James.
James holds the ball against Antetokounmpo.
Facing the young Antetokounmpo, James is still relatively calm at his peak.
After calling Love for the pick-and-roll, James used the pick-and-roll to break through inside.
Antetokounmpo is not slow and keeps following James.
James withstood Antetokounmpo's defense and scored a layup.
Cavaliers start 2-0
Antetokounmpo is still quite talented, but he still needs to be upgraded.
The ball was transferred and it was the Bucks' turn to attack.
McAway came to the frontcourt with the ball and faced Su Tian's defense.
Su Tian also held his breath in this game. Although McAway was restrained well in the previous game, he still lost in the end.
This time Su Tian was determined to lock McAway to death.
McAway did not choose to go one-on-one with Su Tian, but called Jabari Parker to pick and roll.
Jabari Parker, as Su Tian's biggest contender for Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month last season, has maintained his strength well.
But Su Tian was also very good at running around pick-and-rolls and kept up with McAway in time.
McAway couldn't do anything and passed the ball to Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo held the ball and tried to force a breakthrough, but was blocked by James and could not enter the inside.
Upon seeing this, Middleton had no choice but to rush over to respond. After getting the ball, he shot directly.
Jr barely caught up and reached out to interfere with the shot.
boom--
Middleton took the shot too quickly and failed to hit the shot.
Mozgov got the rebound and passed the ball to Su Tian.
Su Tian started to rush forward after getting the ball.
Although James started later than Su Tian, James caught up with Su Tian's speed in two steps.
McAway hurriedly chased Su Tian, and Su Tian took advantage of the situation to pass the ball to James.
