Chapter 152 15 ends, 16 begins (page 12)
Soon, with a whistle, the game began.
The Cavaliers still have their regular lineup, which was the starting lineup before Irving returned.
Su Tian, Jr. Smith, James, Love, Mozgov.
As for the Trail Blazers, Lillard, who has attracted much attention, is absent due to injury. The lineup will be:
Allen Crabbe, CJ McCollum, Aminu, Noah Vonleh, Plumlee.
As soon as the game started, Mozgov got the right to attack first, and Su Tian took the ball and advanced forward.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Su Tian began to call Love for a pick-and-roll, using the pick-and-roll to break through inside.
Crabbe was blocked by Love and couldn't catch up. Feng Lai was also very slow and couldn't catch up with Su Tian in time.
Su Tian rode Juechen to the basket and made a layup.
2-0
The Cavaliers took the lead at the start.
The ball was transferred and it was the Blazers' turn to attack.
Because the Trail Blazers were missing their main point guard, their overall rhythm was much worse. In the end, McCollum reluctantly took a shot and failed to hit the ball.
Love just got the rebound, and Su Tian and James' two-line fast break started immediately.
Love passed a pass to Su Tian, who rushed to the basket with the ball, attracting a double-team from two Blazers.
So Su Tian made a precise pass to the running James.
After James got the ball, he didn't need to adjust at all. He jumped directly and dunked with both hands.
James felt that Su Tian's pass was just right and he was very satisfied.
And Su Tian also saw that at the moment when the ball was passed, the ten-cent badge and the fast break initiator badge all lit up.
There is no doubt that the fast break in the situation just now is also within the scope of the fast break initiator badge.
4-0
The Blazers attack again.
This time the Trail Blazers used various screens to create an open opportunity for McCollum. McCollum showed no mercy and scored a three-pointer.
4-3
The Jr. round's defensive ability is still a bit poor, but at least the defensive attitude is there.
The ball possession changed and Su Tian advanced with the ball again.
James reached out for the ball, and Su Tian gave it to him.
James won't play for a long time in this game, so James has to perform in the limited time.
James got the ball and faced Aminu.
Aminu was still very young and inexperienced. He was caught by James' triple threat. James took the opportunity to break through inside.
Breaking all the way to the basket, Plumlee tried to help defend. James scored a layup against the defense, which also caused Plumlee's defensive foul.
James stood on the free throw line and scored the extra penalty.
7-3
In the next few rounds, the gap between the two teams was obvious, and the Trail Blazers had no ability to stop the Cavaliers.
Crabbe struggled extremely against Su Tian, but no one blamed him. After all, it was a recognized fact that Su Tian defended well.
Fortunately, McCollum was there in the first quarter and hit three three-pointers.
At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 19-27, and the Cavaliers led by 8 points.
Soon, the second quarter begins.
Dellavedova comes on and Su Tian moves to the second position.
James took a break in the second quarter and Richard Jefferson came on.
In the second quarter, McCollum was followed by Su Tian throughout the game. He lost his elegance in the first quarter. Su Tian's defense was airtight, which gave McCollum a hard time to defend.
On the offensive end, Su Tian and Love cooperated with pick-and-rolls many times, and Su Tian's organizational and linking abilities were maximized.
Su Tian also made many hits from mid-range after picking and rolling.
Facing Su Tian's defense, McCollum made 3 of 0 three-pointers in the second quarter, and the Cavaliers once again widened the point difference.
Crabbe was also well restrained by Dellavedova.
At the end of the second quarter, the score had reached 41-52, leading the Trail Blazers by 11 points.
During the halftime break, Tyronn Lue was very satisfied with Su Tian and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in the locker room.
The intermission ended and the third quarter began.
In the third quarter, James played again and Su Tian came down to rest.
The Trail Blazers had no good way to face Su Tian, and they still had no good way to face James. James played only half of the third quarter before being replaced.
There is really no challenge. The point difference has reached 16 points, and James also successfully scored 20+ points.
If you continue to fight, you will be sprayed and divided. James had just experienced a defeat in the Christmas Day game, and it was at the cusp of the storm.
But even if James takes a rest, the Trail Blazers' substitutes can barely match the Cavaliers' substitutes.
Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score difference had reached 20 points.
Su Tian looked at the score on the field and thought that there should be no worries about scoring points this time.
So in the fourth quarter, Su Tian, Jr. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Love, and Thompson started to play.
The first possession of the ball was given to the Cavaliers in the opening game, and Su Tian advanced forward with the ball.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Su Tian did not call for a pick-and-roll, but directly took the first step and broke through inside.
Crabbe couldn't keep up with Su Tian.
Su Tian went straight to the basket and suddenly turned around. Crabbe was shaken by Su Tian's turn and jumped up.
After seeing Crabbe jump up, Su Tian calmly turned around again and succeeded in a layup.
A simple sudden stop and turn made Crabbe unable to find his way.
The ball possession changed and the Blazers started to attack.
Crabbe had no desire to play anymore. After coming to the frontcourt, he gave the ball directly to McCollum.
McCollum held the ball against Jr. Smith.
Jr. Smith lowered his center of gravity and looked at McCollum seriously.
In fact, since Jr came to the Cavaliers, his playing attitude has always been very good. Although he sometimes has to play as a substitute, Smith also knows that his ability has declined and he needs to make room.
But Jr. Smith is an arrogant person. He can accept being beaten by Su Tian, but he cannot accept being beaten continuously by McCollum.
McCollum's consecutive scoring performance undoubtedly humiliated Jr.
I saw McCollum holding the ball and trying to break through from the right side of Jr. Smith.
But Jr caught up in time and pushed McCollum back.
After two attempts, McCollum failed.
Just when Jr was complacent about his defense, McCollum suddenly stepped back and shot a three-pointer.
Swah——
McCollum hit a three-pointer directly.
Although the points difference is still huge, the Blazers have not given up yet, and neither has McCollum.
The ball changed again, and this time Su Tian called Jr. Smith to pick and roll.
Upon seeing this, McCollum quickly changed defense, so McCollum faced Su Tian.
Seeing that McCollum had been replaced, Su Tian retreated with the ball and signaled his teammates to open up space.
After the space opened up, Su Tian began to lower his center of gravity and began to mobilize McCollum's defensive focus.
McCollum himself is not a player who is good at defense. Coupled with Su Tian's plug-in in the fourth quarter, Su Tian easily broke through McCollum's defense with a burst.
