NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Chapter 120 The worst start

After receiving the rebound, the basketball was handed over to Kobe again, while the other four players came to the frontcourt and quickly fell into position.

Bryant walked the ball across the half court slowly, observing the positioning of his teammates.

This was the Lakers' second offense. After observing for a while, Kobe didn't find a good passing opportunity, so he simply decided to attack by himself.

After successfully scoring the first goal, it also gave him full confidence.

Outside the three-point line, Kobe launched another attack against Long Rui's defense.

After a few shakes, Kobe deliberately turned sideways and leaned towards Long Rui's chest.

At the moment of touching, he exerted his strength suddenly, and with the help of Long Rui's body, he suddenly took a step back, and directly separated himself from Long Rui.

Immediately afterwards, Kobe shot a three-pointer without the slightest hesitation.

"Hey! Kobe feels really good today!"

"There are also three-pointers. This kind of three-pointers in the first two or three rounds is rare in the past."

"Kobe chooses to shoot three-pointers, usually after finding some touch, but today he is obviously more confident in his shots."

"The opening two rounds of the Lakers were handled by Kobe."

"It is estimated that he is holding back a lot of energy in his heart now. After all, he lost to Long Rui in the All-Star Game, so he must get it back today."

In the CV-5 live broadcast room, Zhang Weiping said leisurely.

"Yes, judging from Kobe's opening state today, this may be another high-scoring night. I don't know if there will be 50+ points tonight."

The overflowing voice on the side responded with some anticipation.

On the court, the players of the Cavaliers felt the pressure. They have already realized that today's Lakers are definitely a difficult bone.

Although there was no expression on Long Rui's face, he was very serious in his heart. Facing such Kobe, he was not sure of victory.

Next, the Cavaliers' offense.

It is still Curry who controls the ball, and the same tactics as before are implemented again.

Yi Jianlian on the inside stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll for Curry. After the screen, he changed defense again.

At the moment of the defense change, Curry had a short shot opportunity, but after missing the first ball, he was a little afraid to try again.

After all, the opening is still very important for the game. If the opponent hits a climax at the beginning, it will naturally be quite detrimental to the morale of the whole team.

With this in mind, Curry chose a more secure style of play.

After changing defenses, Yi Jianlian went down the inside lane.

Curry found the right opportunity and passed the ball directly.

'Old fish' Fisher is not a threat at all behind Yi Jianlian.

Just as Yi Jianlian was about to make a shot, Waldpease on the left quickly came to help defend.

The double-teaming between the two was quite threatening to Yi Jianlian, but he also threw the ball to the open Alonzo Key immediately.

After receiving the ball, he made some adjustments and completed the shot.

"Bang!"

The sound of striking iron sounded again, and he also failed to hit it.

The Lakers once again accepted the rebound, and Kobe quickly advanced and played a defensive counterattack.

Long Rui originally wanted to chase and defend, but was delayed by Gasol, so he could only watch Kobe attack the audience!
In the next second, the scoring counter flashed.

0:7
In the opening minute and a half, the Cavaliers were directly hit by the Lakers with a small climax.

It can be seen from these few rounds that the state of the two teams today is not at the same level at all.

"The sequelae of consecutive away games are beginning to be exposed."

"It may not be a big problem to see two consecutive games. After all, the players of the Cavaliers are very young."

"But no matter how young I am, I can't help but toss about it like this. The problems that the fans are worried about still happened in this game."

"Whether it is the offensive touch of the Cavaliers or the defensive footsteps, there is a gap with the Lakers."

"Now we can't score offensively, and we can't keep up defensively. These two big problems are difficult to solve."

In the live broadcast room, the commentator Yang Yi was also worried about the Cavaliers.

"Two possessions of the Cavaliers' offense showed that they completely lost touch."

"It was kind of like the first game they played a week ago after the All-Star break."

"It was the same in the first half against Celtic, but today it was worse than that day."

"In this desperate situation, I think Long Rui can try to stand up and score, at least to hold the score and not be stretched too much."

"Now Long Rui can save some energy by playing without the ball, but the problem is that his teammates can't score, so it's meaningless for him to do so."

"Anyway, I think Long Rui should give it a try and see the effect first."

Zhang Weiping constantly analyzed the situation of the game.

As a senior basketball worker, he has a wealth of experience and often looks at problems more thoroughly.

On the sidelines, Cavaliers coach Byron Scott looked anxious.

This game can be said to be their worst start, but he has nothing to do, even changing the lineup has no effect.

Now every player in the Cavaliers is actually in the same state. Under the exhaustion of the boat, they have to face high-intensity games, and no one can bear it.

"Long Rui, it's better for you to control the ball. I'm in a terrible state today."

Curry looked at Long Rui and said.

Long Rui was silent for a while, and then nodded slightly: "Pay attention to running positions, and as long as there is space, shoot, regardless of whether you get in or not."

"The more you dare not vote, the less you can find your status."

After Long Rui confessed, he took over the ball.

"Long Rui, come on, don't think about passing the ball, if you have the ability, beat me from the front!"

When Kobe saw Long Rui holding the ball, his fighting spirit immediately ignited.

Just after halftime Long Rui dribbled the ball, Kobe defended him, because he knew Long Rui's three-point range very well. Under no pressure, he was the one who could make a logo three-pointer!

Kobe standing in front of him also made Long Rui feel a strong sense of oppression.

He lowered his center of gravity and carefully dribbled forward to prevent being intercepted suddenly by his opponent.

Kobe kept staring at Long Rui's footsteps, and slowly retreated, and finally the two came near the three-point line.

Long Rui looked up at the basket, his eyes were sharp.

For Long Rui, Kobe already had a certain understanding. When he saw Long Rui's expression, he knew that he was going to attack.

Kobe also lowered his legs, opened his arms, and tried his best to block Long Rui's breakthrough route.

"This ball, Long Rui really wants to attack by himself."

"Facing Kobe, Long Rui swayed continuously, and moved a step to the left to pretend to break through..."

"A big change of direction, past Kobe, and get inside!"
