NBA’s aging star system

After successfully defeating the Knicks in the opening game, the Cavaliers continued their journey.

In the next few games, the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors, Magic, Celtics, and Rockets, starting with a 10-game winning streak!

It wasn't until the 11th game that the Cavaliers played against the Pacers away from home. James' absence led to their first loss of the season.

而这场比赛，苏天也是拿下本赛季第二次三双，全场25分12助攻10篮板1抢断1盖帽。

Su Tian's dominance on the field was impressive for the first time.

而这11场比赛以来，苏天的表现大家也是有目共睹，在球队有着詹姆斯和欧文的情况下，苏天依然交出场均21.2分8.7助攻6.5篮板1.4抢断0.8盖帽的优秀成绩。

Compared with last year, the points and assists have actually dropped, but the rebounds have increased significantly, allowing Su Tian to directly join the ranks of averaging 20+5+5 per game.

Moreover, anyone who has watched the Cavaliers play this season knows that the reason why Su Tian's scoring and assists have declined is because Irving controls too much of the ball.

But from an efficiency perspective, Su Tian's efficiency is higher than that of Irving.

Even so, Su Tian also knew that the Cavaliers would not trade Irving because of him. Irving was Cleveland's own No. 1 pick and his own son!

On November 11, James returned after only one game of rest, leading the Cavaliers to defeat the Pistons and once again start a winning streak.

Immediately afterwards, they defeated the Trail Blazers, Mavericks, and Digital Man one after another, and won four consecutive victories.

On November 11, against the Bucks, Su Tian was scheduled to take a rest.

结果这一场雄鹿迎来大爆发，字母哥拿到34分12篮板5助攻5抢断2盖帽，虽说还有6个失误，但完全在可接受范围之内。

Former Cavaliers player, Dellavedova got his starting position in the Bucks. He also scored 3 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals in this game. He is a good supplement for the Bucks who lack defenders.

Not only did Giannis Antetokounmpo perform well in the Bucks, but the bench was also very energetic. Beasley, Greg Monroe, and Brogdon all scored in double figures.

The Bucks also won this game 118-101.

The lack of Su Tian not only means that the Cavaliers are missing a key figure in the fourth quarter, but more importantly, they are missing a ball-holding point to lead the team in the rotation phase.

This caused the Bucks' bench to play against the Cavaliers' bench, and the Cavaliers were in trouble.

After this game ends, the Cavaliers' games in November are also over.

Since the start of the season, the Cavaliers have only lost 2 games, with 14 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

In the Western Conference, the Warriors ranked first, with 16 wins and 2 losses. The Warriors' offense was too strong. The two games they lost were still in the early stages of the season, and they didn't have such a tacit understanding with each other.

The game entered December. On December 12, the Cavaliers welcomed the Los Angeles Clippers at home.

I have to say that Los Angeles is a lucky city. In the past few years, the Lakers were prosperous and the Clippers were terrible.

In the past two years, as Kobe Bryant declined and retired, Chris Paul came to the Clippers. The Clippers prospered while the Lakers declined.

These two teams are like passing the baton, so the Los Angeles crowd always has something to watch.

Soon, the game started, and the Cavaliers' lineup was Irving, Su Tian, ​​James, Love, and Thompson.

The Clippers' lineup is Chris Paul, JJ Redick, Mbah a Moute, Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan.

Jordan took the lead and Paul advanced with the ball.

Facing Paul, Irving did not dare to be careless and was highly focused.

Many fans know that Deron eats, sleeps and beats Paul, but few new fans know why Paul is so highly praised.

Not just because of those little moves, but mainly because Paul is really capable.

If Deron's peak is eating and sleeping against Paul, then Paul's peak is eating and sleeping against all other point guards except Deron.

However, in the first possession of the game, Paul still wanted to focus on assisting his teammates.

After the Clippers made continuous tactical moves, relying on the screen, Redick ran out of an opportunity, and Paul quickly passed the ball to it.

But just when Redick was about to take action, Su Tian's defense arrived, taking his time and getting stuck in Redick's action.

boom--

Basketball and iron.

In the eyes of others, Redick used tactics to get into the open space, but he didn't make the shot because of his poor touch. Su Tian only interfered symbolically.

However, this is not the case for those who have experienced it.

Redick has played against Su Tian before, and every time he felt like he was getting away, but as long as he shot, Su Tian's defense would follow him.

So Redick is also under a lot of pressure in this game.

The rebound was taken by Thompson and passed to Irving. The Clippers retreated quickly and the Cavaliers had no chance for a fast break. Irving held the ball steadily and came to the frontcourt.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Irving did not ask Paul to challenge Paul, but directly passed the ball to James.

Just kidding, we have a big advantage in the third position!

When James faced Mbah a Moute, he was not polite at all and started to break through directly.

Mbah a Moute is 2 kilograms, and James is 03 kilograms. The extra 100 kilograms are not in vain.

James easily overcame Mbah a Moute's defense and went straight to the basket.

Seeing James break through so easily, Jordan followed the coach's instructions before the game and directly shrunk the basket, not giving James room to break through for a layup.

But James' body control is also very good. Seeing that Jordan has already stood still and is not easy to attack, he directly stops and shoots a jump shot.

James took a mid-range shot, and Jordan quickly stepped forward to try to block the shot.

James' mid-range shot is still affected, and basketball is a tough game.

But just when Jordan was about to turn around and collect the rebound, Su Tian suddenly slipped in from the baseline and made a direct dunk with a bang.

Get 2 points and 1 board directly.

Seeing Su Tian succeed in making up the dunk, a burst of cheers erupted from the scene.

Su Tian has contributed to many such scenes this season, which makes people feel that Su Tian is becoming more and more reliable.

James also smiled and gave Su Tian a thumbs up.

The ball was transferred and Paul received the ball from the baseline.

The Los Angeles Clippers are known as the city of alley-oops, but the first dunk in the game was actually from the Cavaliers. Paul was very unhappy.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Griffin used a tactical pick-and-roll, and after completing the pick-and-roll, he turned around and moved down the field.

Paul took advantage of the situation and threw the ball into the sky.

bang——

Griffin succeeded in an alley-oop dunk!

"This is it, one dunk for another!"

"To be honest, Griffin's dunk looked so comfortable, while Su's was too ordinary."

"That's right, but it's just two points."

2-2

The ball was once again given to the Cavaliers. Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and still gave it directly to James.

Facing Paul, there is no need for Irving to play thankless singles, no need.

When James faced Mbah a Moute, he did not force a breakthrough this time. Instead, he called Love to pick and roll, and James used the pick and roll to initiate a breakthrough.
