NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

On the court, the two jumped almost at the same time, as if sparks hit the earth.

At this moment, two different pictures flashed in the minds of all fans.

However, the next breath...

"Shh!"

The slight sound of wiping the net rang in Long Rui's ears, but all the fans could only see the slightly swaying net.

This shot was beyond everyone's expectations. There was no thrilling dunk, let alone a jaw-dropping block. What was just a flash in the air, like a superficial touch, sent the ball into the basket deftly!

The moment the goal was scored, the fans in the entire Quicken Loans Center Arena fell into a brief silence, and after the silence, there were even more frantic cheers!

"Long Rui! Long Rui!"

"MVP! MVP!"

Long Rui's name and the voice of MVP immediately resounded throughout the stadium!
"Good shot! Long Rui's reflexes and physical fitness were fully displayed for this ball!"

"If this was an ordinary player, he might have been suppressed by Stoudemire."

"But Long Rui forcibly completed the folding of the lever in the air, cleverly avoiding the block!"

Su Qun said excitedly.

"That's right! Long Rui's physical fitness is top-notch even in the entire history of the NBA!"

"This kind of ball can make you immediately think of Michael Jordan, Julius Erving and other players with top athletic talents!"

"Looking at Long Rui's jumping posture just now, his first thought must be to dunk Stoudemire. After all, Stoudemire blocked him in the first half."

"But when he found that there was no chance, he made an instant change in the air, dodged the opponent's block, and completed a folding layup."

"If this action is done alone, it is actually not difficult. For such a professional athlete, almost anyone can do it."

"But you have to know that Long Rui didn't do this action on purpose, but came up with this idea when he was in the air."

"So this set of movements is almost completed between lightning and flint, and the difficulty is evident!"

Zhang Weiping made a very detailed analysis of Long Rui's attack.

The fans who were watching the football in front of the screen, after hearing this analysis, also called Long Rui's amazing!
"This shot is really cool!"

"As expected of you!"

"Looking at it now, it's really a good thing that James left the Cavaliers."

"Yes! Yes! If James is still here, Long Rui may not be able to play here."

For a while, fans from all over China were talking about it.

Back on the court, Stoudemire's expression was a bit embarrassed. He had almost completely covered Long Rui under his long arms with this goal, but the opponent still used his skills to score the ball ingeniously.

"I have to say, you kid is the most difficult player I have ever seen."

Stoudemire also couldn't help admiring, but then he said in a deep voice: "But don't get too complacent, the real competition starts now."

Stoudemire's words are not bluffing, they have such strength.

Long Rui is also very clear that no team will easily admit defeat in the playoffs, and the opponent will definitely try their best to fight until the last moment.

Next, the Knicks sent the baseline ball.

After Billups brought the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately handed it to Anthony, and then settled in the bottom corner.

His purpose of doing this is to keep Long Rui involved, because he is the best defender among the outside players of the Cavaliers. As long as he is involved in the bottom corner, it will be difficult for him to assist in defense.

In this way, Anthony and the others can have better opportunities to attack, and they don't have to worry about Long Rui.

Billups landed in the left corner, while Anthony subconsciously shifted to the right, creating a sufficient distance from Long Rui.

At this time, Stoudemire on the inside took the initiative to cover Anthony. The cooperation between the two is one of the most threatening offensive methods of the Knicks.

Like Yi Jianlian, Stoudemire can also go inside and outside, but his three-point shooting is not good, but he still has a certain mid-range and long-range accuracy.

After the two picked and rolled, Yi Jianlian came out, and Anthony took the opportunity to get inside.

Yi Jianlian didn't dare to return to the defense, for fear of missing Stoudemire, and Hickson was also blocked behind, making it difficult to interfere with Anthony.

The Cavaliers only left Varejao on the inside to defend Anthony, but his feet moved slowly. When he came up to grab a step, Anthony immediately sent the ball to Sean Williams who was emptied at the basket .

After receiving the ball, the latter easily hit the ball into the basket, continuing to bite the point difference for the Knicks.

This time, in defense, Long Rui, who was the defensive gate on the perimeter of the Cavaliers, had been put on hold and had no chance to help.

And this is the purpose of Billups, and as expected, the Knicks' offense was immediately reinvigorated!
Although Billups' organizational offense was sacrificed, the pick-and-roll cooperation between Anthony and Stoudemire also made it difficult for the Cavaliers to defend.

What's more, these two have strong personal offensive ability, even if they can't cooperate, they can also play selective singles.

In the next few rounds, the two sides entered into a mutual attack mode, and neither could defend against the opponent's attack.

The Knicks mainly focused on Anthony and Stoudemire, while the Cavaliers' offense was varied. Long Rui continued to play the role of organizer and used different methods to create offensive opportunities for his teammates.

This looks like a contest between team basketball and superstar basketball. From the current point of view, the two sides are playing inseparable.

Halfway through the third quarter, the two sides entered the first long timeout of the second half.

"It was a great game, and the playoffs are very different from the regular season."

"In the first half of the third quarter, the two teams can be said to have fully presented their offensive state."

"The scores of the two teams are still very close, with only a 4-point gap."

"Director Zhang, in your opinion, what will the final result be if the fight continues like this?"

Su Qun asked seriously.

Zhang Weiping coughed lightly, and said without thinking: "I think the Cavaliers will win the final game."

"This game is very exciting, but it is actually a contest between two basketballs."

"Superstar basketball and team basketball, it's a cliché."

"In terms of influence, it seems that superstar basketball has an advantage, because fans often like that kind of heroic story."

"Team basketball just doesn't look so lovable by comparison."

"But fans who really understand football know very well how powerful an excellent team is."

"So don't look at the fact that the two teams are playing equally, but when you Anthony and Stoudemire's state declines, then the Knicks' disadvantages will be exposed immediately."
