NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Chapter 159 The Opponent's Counterattack

"Pay attention to the time!"

Jeremy Lin saw that Paul George was hesitant, so he immediately reminded him.

Hearing the sound, Paul George looked up and saw that the attack time was only the last 3 seconds.

He didn't have time to think about it, and it was obviously too late to pass the ball. Facing Anthony's defense, he could only move sideways one step, trying to open up some space for shooting.

However, Anthony did not lose his position. After one step to keep up, he jumped almost at the same time as Paul George.

Panicked, Paul George hesitated for a moment before giving Anthony a chance to block.

"Snapped!"

There was only a crisp sound, and Anthony's hand slapped the ball hard!

Paul George only felt a huge force from the basketball, which made him lose his balance in the air and fell to the ground all at once.

This ball cap is very clean, without any foul action.

After completing the block, Anthony grabbed the ball and immediately launched a counterattack.

Billups had already rushed to the frontcourt, Anthony sent a precise long pass, assisted Billups and scored two more points!
In one and a half minutes, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks unexpectedly played a 7:0 offensive spurt!

This is something that all the fans did not expect. After this wave of offensive climax, the momentum of the Knicks was completely stimulated. They were very excited on the court and seemed to have completely forgotten their physical exhaustion.

The camera was given to Cavaliers coach Byron Scott on the sidelines.

At this moment, Scott's face was a little gloomy, with a strong dissatisfaction in his expression.

"George, what are you doing?"

Finally, Coach Scott still couldn't hold back, and immediately accused Paul George.

In fact, even Paul George himself didn't know what was going on, he seemed to be in a state of no power suddenly.

"Sorry, Coach, I'll call back."

Paul George also hastily apologized.

Only then did Coach Scott stop his accusations. The fourth quarter had only started for a minute and a half. Even if they wanted to switch back to the main players, they would have to wait a little longer.

I only hope that Paul George can wake up in time and help the Cavaliers score.

However, the next few rounds completely became Paul George's nightmare moment.

When Anthony was defending him, he tried his best, constantly confronting him physically, and at the same time kept spouting trash.

This made Paul George very uncomfortable, and his state showed a precipitous decline, as if he couldn't play at all on the court.

All kinds of low-level mistakes appeared frequently. Under the shadow of Anthony, he took four shots but missed a hit. This was completely different from his performance at the end of the third quarter.

On the other hand, the Knicks used these rounds to continue to close the score.

With the 'Little Overlord' Stoudemire dunking in the paint, the difference between the two teams was narrowed to single digits again!
From being 20 points behind to now only 8 points behind, the Knicks took less than 4 minutes, which made everyone feel incredible.

At this moment, Byron Scott could no longer sit still and immediately called a timeout.

He originally wanted to let Paul George lead the second team to finish the game, but now it seems that they will be reversed by their opponents if they continue to play like this.

"It is said that the NBA arena is a place where miracles can be created. Who would have thought that the Knicks, trailing by 20 points, would usher in a big explosion in the fourth quarter!"

"In less than 4 minutes, it directly gave the Cavaliers a head-on blow."

"That is to say, the Cavaliers have established more leads, otherwise this wave of offense will be able to bring the game back."

"Although the Cavaliers still have an 8-point lead, the situation is completely different now."

"Now the momentum of the Knicks has been fully displayed, and the Big Three have played well."

"Under such circumstances, the Cavaliers must make immediate adjustments, first of all to solve the scoring problem."

"Of course, after switching back to the main force, this problem should be resolved."

"Besides, you must not underestimate the enemy, otherwise it will be hard to say what will happen in the end of the game."

"Although the Big Three of the Knicks are working together for the first time, they have all played in the league for many years and have a wealth of experience."

"The Cavaliers are very young and don't have enough experience in the playoffs. Especially at this critical moment, it will test the mentality of the players."

"Next, it depends on whether the Cavaliers can suppress the Knicks who have already started after switching back to the main force. This will affect the final result of this game."

In the VC-5 live broadcast room, Su Qun analyzed seriously.

"That's right. Now it's up to Long Rui. He is the leader of the Cavaliers. Under this situation, I think he should take the initiative to score points in order to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Instead of trying to drive teammates deliberately like before."

"Because at this time, the backbone is needed. Although Curry and Yi Jianlian are the offensive points of the Cavaliers, Long Rui is the core of the team."

"So at this time, we should hit more balls into Long Rui's hands."

"Once Long Rui is opened, it can also affect the teammates around him and make them feel at ease."

Zhang Weiping on the side also expressed his own opinion.

At this moment, the Cavaliers are on the bench.

After the end of the game, Paul George sat on a chair with a lonely expression. He lowered his head and felt very guilty for his poor performance.

Byron Scott was about to accuse him, but was stopped by Long Rui.

"Coach, now is not the time to criticize. I believe that George also wants to play well, but just because he is not experienced enough, it is difficult to deal with this kind of scene. This is destined to be a learning process and requires a certain price."

Long Rui's words made Coach Scott calm down.

He nodded and said: "Win this game first."

"Long Rui, it's up to you to decide what to do next. Now that they are gaining momentum, it's hard to deal with them. We have to find a way to score."

Long Rui knew that the situation on the field was not good for them, but no matter what, he wanted to win this game.

"Guys! It's time for a decisive battle. They have been arrogant for so long, and it's our turn. Let's take them down in one fell swoop!"

Long Rui immediately encouraged him, and he did this to boost the morale of the team!

The timeout ended, the two sides returned to the court, and the Cavaliers made their final duel with the Knicks.

"Long Rui! Long Rui!"

At this moment, the fans at home also immediately shouted to cheer for the Cavaliers.

"We must continue to focus on defense and never relax. This is the key to winning or losing the game."

"Especially for Long Rui..."
