NBA’s aging star system

After the Cavaliers timeout, Love scored a goal inside, hoping to force the Warriors to slow down.

But the Warriors are not so easy to deal with.

The ball possession was changed, the Warriors quickly served the ball from the baseline, and Curry ran towards the frontcourt after getting the ball.

When he came to the frontcourt, before his teammates were in position, he dribbled past Irving from behind and rushed to the basket again.

Seeing that Curry was about to enter the penalty area, James had no choice but to help defend and double-team.

Seeing James coming to help defend, Curry paused slightly, "You are the one waiting!"

Facing James' help in defense, Curry passed the ball to Iguodala in the bottom corner without looking at anyone.

Iguodala caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Iguodala had an open three-point opportunity and hit it directly.

54-63

The score difference reached 9 points, and James did not dare to let Iguodala go anymore. The three-pointer was too lethal.

The ball was transferred and Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball again.

James took the initiative to ask for the ball. After getting the ball, facing Iguodala's defense, he began to call Irving for a pick-and-roll.

Yes, James wants to face Curry to increase the success rate of breakthroughs.

But Curry and Iguodala are not slow, and Irving is not good at setting up pick-and-roll screens, and failed to succeed twice in a row.

So James had no choice but to directly attack Iguodala with the ball, and the two fought all the way to the penalty area. At this time, James was forced to stop by Iguodala, and James had to take three steps to collect the ball.

James' European step has certain skills and deception, but due to his size, the deception is very limited, and he was unable to shake Iguodala away.

But no one on the Cavaliers could step forward to respond at this time, and James had no choice but to force the shot.

boom--

James failed to hit and the rebound was taken by Iguodala.

Iguodala, who got the rebound, seemed to know that James was going to directly attack, so he quickly passed the ball to Green.

Green got the ball and rushed straight away. Curry and Clay were on both sides. For a moment, the Cavaliers were helpless against the Warriors' three-man fast break.

Irving went to block Green, and Green passed the ball to Curry. Jr. wanted to chase Curry, but he didn't dare to let go of Clay next to him.

So Curry quickly took a three-pointer.

Swah——

54-66

The score difference reached 12 points, and Tyronn Lue called a timeout again.

The momentum of the Warriors is too strong, and it is difficult for the Cavaliers to stop the opponent's five small lineups, especially since Barnes is still normal at this point.

The current Warriors five have a weakness, and that is Barnes. Because Barnes's performance is not stable, it is one of the few points that the Cavaliers can take advantage of.

But now it seems that at least Barnes played very well in this game and did not let the Cavaliers seize the opportunity.

Tyronn Lue thought for a while, the Cavaliers are going to change their formation! If you don't change, you will die slowly. If you change, you may die faster, but you may also be able to reverse the situation.

The timeout ended and the Cavaliers came on the stage again. At this time, everyone found that the Cavaliers' lineup had changed.

Irving, Su Tian, ​​Jr. Smith, James, Love.

Tyronn Lue also put up a smaller lineup in order to deal with the Warriors.

Su Tian looked at the time. There was still half a quarter left in the third quarter. If he could survive this half quarter, then the Cavaliers would still be saved.

Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball, signaled his teammates to move to the three-point line, and then called Love to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Irving broke through and rushed to the basket. Curry failed to get around the pick-and-roll in time, so Green had to switch defenses to chase Irving.

Irving saw Green coming to chase him, so he quickened his pace and speed, quickly came to the basket, and scored a layup with a small pull-up lever.

Green originally wanted to chase the goal, but was dodged by Irving's lever.

56-66

The Cavaliers' offense has regained its vitality.

But if you want to catch up with the score difference, you not only have to attack well, but you also have to be able to defend the Warriors.

The ball was transferred and the Warriors attacked again.

When Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, he gave the ball directly to Green while he ran without the ball.

Green stood at the top of the arc, observing the movements of his teammates.

Compared with the previous lineup, the Cavaliers' current lineup is more mobile and effectively curbs some of the Warriors' arc-top dealing tactics. However, correspondingly, there are some flaws in individual matchups.

Such as Iguodala and Jr. Smith.

Green saw that it was difficult for Curry and Clay to quickly run out of opportunities, so he passed the ball directly to Iguodala.

Iguodala also has a high golf quotient, and when he gets the ball against Jr., he is ready to start a breakthrough.

Jr. could block it for a moment, but only for that moment. He only delayed Iguodala for a moment and was broken through the defense.

If Iguodala rushes to the basket, Jr. alone will definitely not be able to handle it, but neither Irving nor Su Tian can help defend, and the splash cannot be released.

Taken together, the only one who can be let go is Barnes.

So James let go of Barnes and helped defend Iguodala from double-teaming.

Iguodala quickly passed the ball to Barnes in the bottom corner.

Barnes received the ball without hesitation and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Barnes hit a three-pointer directly.

56-69

The Warriors continued to hit three-pointers, and the Cavaliers' tactics failed.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors have been dominant. The Cavaliers, led by James, barely have the ability to resist.

Soon, the third quarter ended, and the score reached 66-79. The Warriors led the Cavaliers by 13 points.

Faced with such a point difference, Tyronn Lue did not dare to substitute at will and sent Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Frye, and Mozgov.

Except for Love, who is not very physical, he takes a rest, and the outside trio still maintains the main lineup.

The Warriors rotate normally, Curry, Livingston, Iguodala, Green, and Ezeli.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Warriors. After Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, he passed the ball directly to Livingston.

In addition to his ability to play in the low post, Livingston also has very good organizational skills, which is enough to serve as the team's organization point and passer.

Su Tian and Owen made eye contact, indicating that they would switch defenses, and Owen nodded.

So Su Tian went after Curry, while Irving defended Livingston.

Although Livingston has a height advantage against Irving, Livingston rarely hits hard these days, so Irving can handle it completely.

Su Tian followed Curry around two pick-and-roll screens and made two more turns, but he still failed to give Curry a chance.

Seeing that the time was coming, Green's heart skipped a beat. When Su Tian walked around Green, Green tugged his clothes covertly, creating a little space between him and Curry.

It was this tiny bit of space that Livingston captured and passed to him in time.

Curry received the pass, but before his body could stand still, he directly shot a three-pointer.

The moment Curry took action, Su Tian's defense also arrived "in time".

For Curry's fans and teammates, this defense no longer affects Curry, but Su Tian is not an ordinary person, and everything is equal under "defensive shock".
