Chapter 50 Who is the King of the Last Day

After the game with the Bulls, the Cavaliers rushed to Milwaukee to challenge the Bucks away.

The Bucks are currently considered a playoff team, but they are on the fringes of the Eastern Conference playoffs, with a difference of more than a dozen games with the Cavaliers.

It can be said that the upper half and the lower half of the Eastern Conference playoffs are completely different teams.

On April 4, the Cavaliers played against the Bucks.

At present, the Bucks are headed by McAway, and there is a villain on the inside, Pachulia, and Middleton on the front line.

The Bucks can't bring any trouble to the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers easily gave the Bucks a defeat.

The Cavaliers are comfortably back in Cleveland, ready to take on the Celtics from Boston.

The current competition in the lower half of the Eastern Conference is quite fierce. The Bucks, Celtics, Nets, Pacers, Heat, five teams compete for the remaining three seats.

The records of these teams are not much different, it depends on the last few games and the relationship between each other.

While the east is in full swing, the west is also a mess.

The Western Warriors took the lead, followed by the Rockets and Clippers.

The Mavericks, Thunder and Pelicans compete for the final two spots.

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

In order to protect players and maintain health, Tyronn Lue used rotation tactics.

James and Irving take turns off one game, and Su Tian and Love take turns off next game.

The reason for choosing these two games is that they are playing against the Celtics, and the Celtics are a fringe team in the playoffs, and the final stage of the game is the most fierce time.

At this time, it is a wise way to avoid the edge.

It's just that if they still meet the Celtics in the playoffs, the loss outweighs the gain.

Although the two giants in the team are not there, Su Tian doesn't want to admit defeat so easily, isn't it just that there are two people missing, there is nothing he can't fight.

The Cavaliers played in this game: Su Tian, ​​Smith, Mike Miller, Love, Mozgov.

The Celtics have traded Thomas Jr. this season, with Bradley, Jack Crowder, Evan Turner and many other players.

But Thomas Jr., who has not yet been blessed by Stevens, is not yet the main force of the team.

The team's starter is Marcus Smart.

The game started and Mozgov got the ball.

Su Tian held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Smart's defense was still good. Su Tian didn't play any tricks that were beyond his control.

Call Love's pick-and-roll, use the pick-and-roll to break through the inside, attract double-teams and then give the ball to Smith.

Smith caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Under normal circumstances, Su Tian doesn't have very good singles ability, but Su Tian is already familiar with the way of leading the team with his own breakthroughs.

Because the young Wade gave him a live demonstration, and he also led the team several times alone with the help of Tyronn Lue, but they all lost.

The Celtics attacked, and Smart held the ball against Su Tian.

When Su Tian saw Smart coming up with the ball, he didn't talk about martial arts at all, and directly activated the death coil, and used his hands to sweep the bottom continuously.

Although it cannot effectively form a steal, it has caused a huge interference to Smart's holding the ball.

This prevented Smart from organizing the offense well, so he had to give the ball quickly.

Bradley stepped forward to catch the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Evan Turner.

After the pick-and-roll cooperation, Bradley sent the ball to Evan Turner who followed the next pass.

Turner received the ball and made a layup. Love didn't interfere, and the basketball went into the frame.

One of the knights was returned, and it was not a big problem, so they were sent back.

Su Tian continued to cooperate with Love in the pick-and-roll, and the Celtics did not have a good way to deal with the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two.

Stevens is also very helpless, it is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.Without good ingredients, how can I cook good food for you.

Throughout the first quarter, Su Tian used the pick-and-roll to teach the Celtics a lesson, and Smart was annoyed by Su Tian.

Originally, Rondo was traded away by the Celtics this season. Smart thought he could be the boss, and finally he could be alone.

But he was beaten up by Su Tian, ​​and he was very embarrassed.

Su Tian: I'm here to make you realize the reality.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers 28-20, leading the Celtics by 8 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Su Tian was replaced for a rest, and Thomas Jr. played for the Celtics.

Although Thomas Jr. has flaws in his height, he does have scoring ability.

Thomas scored two goals in a row as soon as he came up. The Cavaliers' two offenses were all ironed out. Without Su Tian's organization on the court, the team's offense was a bit sluggish.

Tyronn Lue hurriedly called a timeout. The team was already on the verge of a scoring shortage. This is not alarmist talk, but the state of the field is obvious, and no one can control the ball well.

Smith can score, but scoring and dominating the ball are two different things, and he still has to go to Su Tian.

Su Tian only rested off the court for two rounds before being replaced by Tyron Lue again.

On the first ball of the game, Marion was found to play a pick-and-roll, and Su Tian made a direct three-pointer with the help of the pick-and-roll.

Thomas' interference, how should I put it, at least has an attitude, but it is not certain whether it will be effective or not.

Swah——

Su Tian hit a three-pointer.

When it was the Celtics' turn to attack, Su Tian entangled Thomas directly. Thomas failed to get rid of it several times, so he had to throw the ball to Bradley.

Bradley hit a simple pull-up jumper, and the shot hit the iron.

It wasn't long before Thomas came to the Celtics. Stevens hadn't fully discovered Thomas' ability, and there were still some people missing from the Celtics in Su Tian's impression.

Mozgov got the rebound and gave it to Su Tian.

Su Tian continued to hit Thomas with the ball, using the pick-and-roll to break through to the inside, and Thomas followed closely.

When breaking through to the basket, Su Tian took a European step. Thomas was afraid of Su Tian's layup, so he had to take off early, and was easily swayed by Su Tian.

After Su Tianhuang passed, he made a layup.

Stevens shook his head, Su Tian is not easy to limit, and the Celtics' current lineup is not reasonable enough, making it to the playoffs this year is a victory.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian basically restricted Thomas, causing Thomas' shooting rate to plummet.

On the offensive end, Su Tian bullied Thomas so much.

Thomas also thought about switching defenses, but who could he switch to?Number two?Smith can score more comprehensively than Su Tian.

So Thomas had no choice but to continue to accept Su Tian's torture.

At the end of the second quarter, the two teams were 25-18, and the Cavaliers led by 7 points.

At halftime, the Cavaliers 53-38 Celtics, the Cavaliers lead by 15 points.

Before the start of the third quarter, Su Tian was still a little out of breath. Tai Lunlu didn't put Su Tian on the court again, and was going to play again in the fourth quarter.

Without Su Tian, ​​the offense on the court can only rely on Smith and Love to organize.

Both have some organization, but not much.Facing a great situation with the Celtics leading by 15 points, it is not a problem to maintain the leading position.

At the end of the third quarter, the two teams were 74-66, and the Cavaliers still maintained their lead, leading the Celtics by 8 points.

Su Tian is already getting ready on the sidelines, the king of the last quarter is not joking, Su Tian can't wait.

Seeing Thomas being unscrupulous in the third quarter, Su Tian couldn't help but want to educate the opponent, let him know what the real king of the last quarter is.
