NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Long Rui can rest for a while, but now the team is still behind, and the burden of scoring is on him, so he can't back down now.

Although it is difficult to win this game, he has to fight until the last moment.

"Coach, change, let Paul George play, maybe he plays better than me."

"I played really badly today, there is no way to help the team..."

Alonzo Ki, who was standing aside, said suddenly that he blamed himself very much.

Hearing this, Scott first looked at him, and then turned his attention to Paul George.

In the Cavaliers' three-game streak, Paul George played well in the first two games, averaging 13 points per game, which is better than Alonzo Key.

After thinking for a while, Scott nodded: "After the timeout, George, you go on the court."

This is not a regular rotation time for the Cavaliers, but today's situation is so special that Scott had to make changes.

In fact, Paul George is better than Alonzo Key for most of the time on the court, and he is fully qualified for the team's starting position.

Scott also wanted to put him in the starting lineup, but was rejected by Long Rui.

Rather than putting Paul George into the starting lineup, he wants to put him in the team's sixth man position, leading the second team with Jeremy Lin.

In doing so, one can ensure a stable output point in the second team, and the other is to exercise Paul George's ability to lead the team. For him, there is no harm.

For such a role, Paul George also readily accepted.

However, today's game situation is very unfavorable, and Paul George must also play early to add an offensive point.

On the other side, 'Zen Master' Phil Jackson also chose to make a substitution, replacing the impulsive Bynum with Lamar Odom.

Odom is a very good player, especially this season, he has played a very brilliant performance.

Averaging 14.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, he is an indispensable part of the Lakers lineup.

And he is also known as a left-handed magician, which shows that Odom's strength must not be underestimated.

Compared with Bynum, Odom appears more mature, but he also has some minor problems.

For example, he is sometimes distracted on the court, especially his 'butter hand', which is often talked about by fans.

After a while, the timeout ended and players from both sides returned to the field.

The Cavaliers sent a sideline kick, and Long Rui continued to control the ball.

Paul George, who came off the bench, showed the energy of a young player.

Although the three-game streak has a certain impact on physical strength, he still runs tirelessly on the field and uses his own efforts to create opportunities for the team.

Finally, under one of his reverse runs, an open opportunity appeared.

Long Rui seized the opportunity and immediately passed the ball. George caught the ball and shot it without any hesitation.

"Shh!"

Basketball hits the net!

"Good shot! The Cavaliers finally have a second person to stand up and score. This is a good start!"

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief for the Cavaliers.

"That's right! I heard that Paul George is a player who works very hard in his usual training."

"I think this is the result of hard work. This kind of active running is exchanged for the opportunity to shoot, and he is very daring to shoot. This kind of self-confidence is often related to training."

"When you have perfected a skill, you will not be afraid on the court and dare to shoot!"

"Actually, there are quite a few players like this in the NBA, the most typical of which is Kobe."

"When Kobe first entered the league, he didn't play well. He also started as a substitute. With his own efforts, he gradually got into the starting position and then became a superstar in the league."

"This process is very difficult, but also very inspirational!"

Zhang Weiping also made a very positive evaluation of Paul George.

9:9
With Paul George scoring, the Cavaliers tied the game.

Judging from the first few rounds, neither side played very well, there was very little cooperation between teammates, and most of the points came from singles.

From the professional point of view of the game, this is not a good game.

But from the fans' point of view, they like this kind of duel, especially the one-on-one singles between Kobe and Long Rui.

But this is a competition after all, not a heads-up match, and it is impossible for these two people to fight a whole game.

In the next round, the two teams increased their cooperation.

The Lakers, with mature tactics, once again gained a little advantage in these waves of cooperation.

They use the changing triangle offense to create opportunities continuously.

Whether it's Gasol and Odom on the inside, or Fisher on the outside, they all scored and scored, and the Lakers' offense was completely driven.

Although the Cavaliers are also trying to play more cooperation, the state of the players is really worrying.

Under Long Rui's organization, they also got some chances, but missed a few shots.

21:29
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers opened up the score again in the second half of the quarter.

"Difficult...it's really too difficult."

"If this fight continues, the Cavaliers will be doomed."

Zhang Weiping sighed and continued: "Judging from the entire first quarter, the Lakers have the absolute initiative."

"It's hard for the Cavaliers to have a chance to win when they're playing more reasonably."

Yang Yi also nodded: "Now the Cavaliers have to make adjustments. Their terrible fast-paced style of play obviously doesn't apply today."

"They need to consider how to ensure offensive efficiency while minimizing physical exertion."

"If adjustments can be made at this point, then perhaps this game still maintains a certain degree of suspense."

"But if they don't make any changes and still play according to the previous rhythm of the game, then in the second half, especially the fourth quarter, the team may collapse directly."

At this moment, all Long Rui fans are worried about the state of the Cavaliers.

They all hope that Long Rui can lead the Cavaliers through this catastrophe and continue the winning streak, but now it seems that this task is extremely difficult.

"Coach, is there any good countermeasure?"

On the sidelines, Curry asked.

Scott held the tactical board, but he hadn't written for a long time. Faced with such a situation, he was obviously helpless.

"Long Rui, what do you think?"

Scott simply asked what Long Rui meant.

In the past at times like this, Long Rui could always arrange some ingenious arrangements, but today he only said four words.

"Do your best."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was silent, no one said a word, and the Cavaliers' bench was silent.
