NBA’s aging star system

The time has come to the end of the season, and everyone’s record is almost clear.

But the Bulls' record is still unclear. The difference between the Bulls and the Pistons ahead of them is only one game, and the Bulls are still in ninth place. It's hard to say who can enter the playoffs.

The game between the two sides went quickly. The first quarter ended soon, and the Cavaliers led the Bulls by 31 points 27-4.

Although the two sides seemed to be playing back and forth in the first quarter, the strength gap between the two sides was still obvious.

In the second quarter, Irving rested and James led the team.

For the Bulls, Rose also came off the court to rest, and Butler moved to the third position to face James.

Facing Butler's defense, James directly launched a horizontal push to break through. Butler could only withstand the first few rounds, and it was difficult to keep up later.

So in the second quarter, James led the Cavaliers to successfully widen the point difference. At the end of the second quarter, the score reached 62-50, leading the Bulls by 12 points.

During halftime, the Bulls locker room was silent, and no one said anything to boost morale.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

Irving plays again, and James temporarily leaves the court to rest for a while.

On the Bulls side, Rose also came up, but Butler was still there.

Although Butler's physical strength can support him on the court, the decline in efficiency cannot be changed.

Halfway through the third quarter, James came back on the field, and there was another wave of indiscriminate bombardment.

Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score reached 88-71, and the point difference reached 17 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the result of this game was already obvious, and fans began to leave the field.

Soon, the fourth quarter began. The Cavaliers still had their full lineup, and so did the Bulls.

The main force of the Bulls wanted to give it another try, while the Cavaliers wanted to beat the Bull to death with one stick and did not want to waste time.

The two sides fought fiercely from the start, with three-point breakthroughs and dunks that dazzled everyone, but the point difference never changed much.

The score remained deadlocked until the last two minutes. Bulls head coach Hoiberg called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and announced surrender.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers defeated the Bulls 115-100. The Bulls had one more barrier to enter the playoffs.

After the game against the Bulls, everyone on the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland.

The Cavaliers have only two home games left to end all regular seasons in the 15-16 season.

On April 4, the Cavaliers played against the Hawks at home.

All the main players of the Hawks are out in this game. So far, the Hawks are ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. If they enter the second round, they are likely to face the Cavaliers.

Therefore, the Hawks naturally want to take advantage of the last regular season matchup opportunity to explore the Cavaliers' bottom line.

However, unfortunately, the entire Cavaliers team was scheduled to rest, and the Hawks missed the opportunity.

But the Cavaliers also lost the game 88-110 in the end, bringing the number of losses to 13 games.

On April 4, the Cavaliers' last regular season game was against the Pistons at home.

In this game, as the last curtain call, all the main players of the Cavaliers came to the scene, but no main players were arranged to appear.

Winning or losing in this game no longer matters, not only to the Cavaliers, but also to the Pistons.

Thanks to the Cavaliers' previous win against the Bulls, the Pistons are now two wins and losses behind the Bulls, which is very safe. They are only ranked eighth, and their first opponent in the playoffs is the Cavaliers.

The Pistons also played as substitutes and did not arrange the main force. The two teams were novices. In the end, the Cavaliers won the game 112-101.

At this point, at the end of the regular season, the Cavaliers' record reached 69 wins and 13 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

In the game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies that ended on the same day, the Warriors worked hard to win the game 125-104 and create history! Won an incredible 73 wins! Breaking the Bulls' record of 72 wins.

The Western Conference from first to eighth are: Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, and Houston Rockets.

The Eastern Conference rankings are, Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons.

At the end of the season, Su Tian's 15-16 regular season statistics are also clear. Su Tian played 76 games this season, averaging 24.3 points, 7.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 2.0 steals, 0.6 blocks, points, assists and rebounds per game. Compared with last season, there has been an increase. This is mainly due to Irving's absence at the beginning of the season, which gave Su Tian many opportunities.

但苏天的得分和助攻都只能排在球队第二，詹姆斯场均拿到27.3分7.5助攻7.4篮板1.4抢断0.6盖帽，其中得分和助攻分别位列球队队内第一。

欧文被赛季初的伤病影响，本赛季并未有太出色的表现，场均只拿到了19.6分4.7助攻3.0篮板1.1抢断0.3盖帽。

Irving was able to average 21 points per game last season, but no one would say that Irving's condition has declined. Irving's condition at the end of the season is obvious to all.

But just looking at the data, there is no doubt that Su Tian is already the second-best player on the Cavaliers.

The end of the regular season also means the beginning of the playoffs.

All teams aiming for the championship have begun preparations.

The Cavaliers are no exception. Tyronn Lue announced some bans during the playoffs, such as not going to nightclubs.

The playoffs start on April 4, and the Cavaliers' first playoff game is scheduled for the 16th, so you can watch other teams' games first to collect some information.

The first games on the Eastern side are the Pacers against the Raptors and the Celtics against the Hawks.

Unexpectedly, the Pacers overcame the opponent and successfully won the first game 100-90.

With the exception of the Pacers, the others were successfully won by high-ranking teams.

On April 4, the Cavaliers also ushered in their first playoff game of the season, playing against the Pistons at home.

The Cavaliers' advantage is obvious. Tyronn Lue did not make any special arrangements and the lineup did not make any special adjustments.

The Cavaliers lineup is still Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, and Thompson.

The Pistons' lineup is Reggie Jackson, Pope, Marcus Morris, Tobias Harris, and Andre Drummond.

At the beginning of the game, Thompson and Drummond had a jump ball, and Drummond grabbed it.

Reggie received the ball and pushed forward. After reaching the frontcourt, he signaled Drummond to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to break through inside.

Irving followed Reggie closely, maintaining a position of interference, but Reggie did not take the shot himself, but passed the ball to Drummond.

Drummond received the ball and made a layup directly, but Thompson failed to follow up in time.

It can be seen that there is still a certain gap between Thompson and Drummond.

2-0

The Pistons scored first at the start.

The ball was transferred and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball, faced Reggie's defense, and tried to break through from the right, but Reggie followed up in time and did not give Irving a chance.
