NBA’s aging star system

The Raptors undoubtedly took a shot in the arm when they heard the news.

The one with particularly obvious effect is DeRozan.

You know, under Su Tian's defense in the first three games, DeRozan was completely lost and no longer looked like an All-Star in the regular season.

If the news is true, it will completely open DeRozan's shackles and unleash his All-Star strength!

"Okay guys, God has given us another chance. This time we must seize it! Overthrow the Knights!"

"Overturn the knight! Overturn the knight! Overturn the knight!!!"

Seeing the team regaining its vitality, Casey expressed great satisfaction, found members of the coaching staff, and began to arrange new tactical coordination.

At this time, Su Tian was lying peacefully on the bed, as if isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

"What a coincidence. Why did I suddenly get hurt at this time?"

This injury was the first for Su Tian in the two years since he entered the league. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, thanks to the purple badge of "Iron Man" in the system.

Iron Man (Purple): Your obsession with victory can make you ignore all pain! When you stand on the court, you will be exempt from injury. No matter how serious the injury is, it cannot stop you from continuing to play. "

"Note: After the game, the injury still exists, but it will be randomly reduced by 50% to 90%. The recovery speed of the injury is increased by 200%."

Because Su Tian was injured not on the playing field, but on the training ground, the "injury immunity" function was not triggered, but the other two functions were triggered.

When Su Tian just fell to the ground, he felt a huge pain in his ankle, but the next second the Iron Man badge lit up, instantly alleviating most of the pain.

After arriving at the hospital, after careful examination, it was found that it was just an ordinary sprain. The doctor judged that the recovery period would be about a week.

At this time, Su Tian was lying on the hospital bed. He could no longer feel the pain. He only felt a crisp and itchy ankle.

If it weren't for the "Iron Man" badge still on, Su Tian would have felt fine.

As for how the Raptors learned the news, it's very simple. The Cavaliers are training in Toronto, and there are so many reporters nearby. It's normal for Raptors spies to see them.

The next day, the Cavaliers also announced Su Tian's injury to the outside world, and he would need to rest for about a week.

Suddenly, the game between the Raptors and the Cavaliers became more popular, even surpassing the discussion between the Thunder and the Warriors.

There are also different opinions on this series on the Internet.

"One thing to say, I am a Raptors fan. Even without Sue, the Raptors can't beat the Cavaliers. James is too strong, not to mention it is already 3-0, brother! The Raptors' hope is too slim." - IP: cleveland.

"The one upstairs is definitely a guest star! I am a real Raptors fan! I like DeRozan very much! But I have to say that DeRozan is still young and the future is his!" - IP: Cleveland.

"That's enough for you two upstairs! You two little bastards! James got to the Eastern Conference Finals only because of his teammates! James can't win the championship without Wade! Likewise, without Su, James can't win the Raptors!" - —IP: Toronto.

"For those who are just outsiders, I have something to say. Su Tian's regular season statistics were 24+7, and he also maintained 20+6 in the playoffs. He is an absolute All-Star player. The Cavaliers suddenly lost an All-Star, and they will definitely be affected. , Personal speculation, it will take at least six games for the two teams to end the battle." - IP: Toronto.

"Stop arguing and have some quality. As a James fan, I feel that the Cavaliers are in danger. The Cavaliers may not be able to pass the Raptors." - IP: Toronto (ID: DeMar & Kyle)

Regarding the game between the Raptors and the Cavaliers, there was a lot of quarrel on the Internet, which completely overshadowed the Western Conference Finals.

No matter how noisy the outside world is, at least it's a bit more solid. Su Tian is indeed injured!

However, the focus of the quarrel between the two sides was all on the game, and little attention was paid to Su Tian's injury. Some fans even began to say that Asians are prone to injuries, and asked the Cavaliers to take action quickly and not to hurt their hands.

But if you take a closer look at the fans who care about the Cavaliers' operations and clamor for Su Tian to take action, they are still Raptors fans.

In short, regardless of online public opinion, the Raptors' morale has indeed recovered a lot, and the fourth game has become interesting again.

On May 5, the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals officially began.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup was as predicted by Casey, with Jr. Smith being put in the starting lineup to fill Su Tian's vacancy.

Casey turned to look at DeRozan, "DeMar, how this game goes depends on you!"

DeRozan nodded heavily, "Don't worry, coach, I won't make it so easy for the people of Cleveland."

At the beginning of the game, Thompson and Biyombo once again stood in midfield for a jump ball.

At the same time, Su Tian was lying at home in Cleveland, eating taco and watching the game on TV.

As the referee blew the whistle, the two jumped up at the same time. Biyombo took the lead in grabbing the basketball and dialed it to the Raptors' side.

Lowry got the ball and began to advance with the ball. Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals officially began!

Lowry came to the frontcourt without hesitation and passed the ball directly to DeRozan.

The Raptors' tactical intention is obvious, which is to beat DeRozan. DeRozan gets the ball and faces Jr. Smith.

When Tyronn Lue saw the Raptors' posture, it was the same as what he had imagined before. Without Su Tian, ​​Jr. Smith was the best breakthrough.

I saw DeRozan first testing the three threats, and then directly broke through. After successfully breaking through Jr.'s defense, he made an emergency jumper.

Swah——

DeRozan made a solid mid-range shot.

0-2

DeRozan showed a strong desire to attack from the beginning.

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

Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to James.

Without Su Tian, ​​Irving has to take on more responsibilities, especially on the organizational side, but he is used to cooperating with Su Tian. Irving is still not used to the sudden absence.

After all, when Su Tian is here, Irving only needs to manage the offense.

James got the ball and faced Carroll's defense. James began to become cautious in his choices, calling Love to pick and roll.

James uses the pick-and-roll to directly initiate breakthroughs. Compared with shooting, James still trusts his breakthroughs more.

Carroll bypassed the pick-and-roll, turned around to catch up with James, and followed James to interfere. James carried Carroll all the way to the basket and forced a layup.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

2-2

After scoring the goal, James still looked solemn. James clearly felt that the Raptors were in a different state and the overall fighting spirit was very high.

The ball was once again given to the Raptors, and Lowry came to the frontcourt with the ball, looking for teammates for tactical cooperation.

After a period of movement and coordination, the ball was still given to DeRozan, who caught the ball and hit a layup.

2-4

Tyronn Lue stood up and stood on the sidelines with a serious expression on his face.

The Cavaliers' coaching staff anticipated the Raptors' increased fighting spirit and tactical tendencies, and anyone with a discerning eye also knew that they would open a gap from DeRozan.
