NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

The momentum of Anthony scoring 9 points in a row made the players on the Knicks bench suddenly boil.

Their emotions are constantly changing as the game progresses, from loss to rekindling of hope now, it's like a roller coaster ride.

"The game is not over, we are still behind, it is not time to celebrate."

Anthony reminded his teammates around him, and then devoted himself to the defensive end.

"Long Rui! Long Rui!"

The Cavaliers' home court heard Long Rui's name again. The fans' intention was very clear, they just wanted to see Long Rui stand up and take over the game.

When it comes to the decisive moment, as the head star of the team, he must have such a responsibility.

After Long Rui took the ball across the half court, he signaled his teammates to pull away. He knew that he had to attack now.

"Ruandan, are you finally going to make a move?"

"I advise you to continue looking for your teammates, because you can't."

Anthony's sharp words continued to stimulate Long Rui, trying to disturb his state of mind.

Long Rui focused his eyes, and immediately launched an attack without saying a word.

Continuous feints tried to get rid of Anthony's defense, but Anthony also tried his best to block in front of Long Rui, and constantly used his body to fight.

After all, Anthony is a striker, his body is stronger than Long Rui, and he is not afraid of Long Rui at all in terms of strength confrontation.

"Give up, you can't break through."

After Long Rui tried twice, he was stopped by Anthony, but he would not give up just yet.

He stepped back a little bit, readjusted, and had a very clear breakthrough idea in his mind.

It is almost impossible to squeeze past Anthony abruptly, and now his only advantage is his dexterity.

Compared with Anthony, Long Rui's strength is not as good, but in terms of absolute speed, Anthony is not as fast as Long Rui.

With the last 7 seconds left in the attack time, Long Rui launched another attack after adjusting.

Fans who are familiar with Long Rui know what he wants to do at a glance when the butterfly walks through the flowers!
Then there will be an Iverson-style crossover!

Obviously, Anthony also realized Long Rui's next move.

When Iverson used this set of moves back then, in one-on-one, almost no one could guard him, even the "God of Basketball" Jordan was shaken by him.

And now, Long Rui can also do this set of moves, but he is not Iverson after all, and his deterrent effect will not be that strong, but it is completely enough to deal with most players.

Anthony gritted his teeth, no matter what, he would defend the ball.

He knew that Long Rui would break through from the right side next, so he deliberately shifted his focus of defense over.

Sure enough, at the next breath, Long Rui instantly activated.

Shake your shoulders, step forward, and change direction dramatically!
The whole movement is like flowing clouds and flowing water!
Anthony quickly moved sideways to block Long Rui's breakthrough.

However, Long Rui didn't rush to the end, but stopped suddenly after two steps, and then pulled out his hand!

"Shh!"

Accurate basketball hit!

Anthony never expected that Long Rui would suddenly change his mind and make such an offensive choice.

This shot was exactly the same as when he singled against Yi Jianlian just now, but Long Rui's movements had to be more realistic.

"Your defense is a mess!"

The corner of Long Rui's mouth raised and he smiled mockingly. This was also a way he used to destroy the opponent's heart in the game.

Anthony's face immediately darkened.

"Boy, you wait."

Long Rui shrugged, sneered again, and then retreated towards the backcourt.

"Hickson, let me guard him next."

Hearing this, Hixon was taken aback for a moment, then nodded immediately, feeling that the heavy burden on his shoulders was lifted instantly.

For almost the entire game, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending Anthony, but even though he tried his best, he was still blown by Anthony.

If the game is lost because of this, then Hickson will definitely leave a shadow in his heart.

"Long Rui, I..."

Just as Hixon wanted to apologize, Long Rui stopped him.

"Thank you for your hard work, leave it to me next."

As soon as the words fell, Anthony had already dribbled the ball across the half court, but Long Rui blocked in front of him.

"Very well, you finally dare to stand up, but I will blow you up."

Anthony is holding back his energy now. Long Rui scored a goal in front of him just now, so he has to change it back.

"It's finally here. At this point in the game, it's still up to these two to decide the outcome!"

All the fans also became nervous.

Facing Long Rui's defense, Anthony planned to use his strength to force a breakthrough.

But Long Rui was not a vegetarian. Although his strength was lacking, his dexterity made up for it.

Whenever Anthony wants to break through, Long Rui will always use his long arms to interfere with the basketball's landing point, making it impossible for Anthony to break through according to the normal trajectory.

However, the title of 'offensive kaleidoscope' is not for nothing. Anthony immediately changed the way of attack and started post-up singles.

His height and weight are dominant, and after sitting on Long Rui, he began to push hard.

Long Rui steadied his footsteps, trying to withstand Anthony's back attack.

But the opponent's strength was too strong, and Long Rui kept retreating under the continuous push.

When Anthony pushed Long Rui into the three-second zone, he feinted and then made a turnaround jumper.

Long Rui also jumped up immediately to interfere with his sight. His entire palm had already shone on Anthony's face, completely covering his sight.

However, under such circumstances, Anthony still threw the ball into the basket!
This is the player's muscle memory, which is formed through countless shooting exercises in normal training.

"This ball is really difficult!"

"Anthony is amazing, using his offense to pull the team back from the cliff time and time again!"

"Long Rui's defense has reached the extreme, but he still scored the ball!"

In the next few rounds, the two staged scenes of mutual explosion.

Anthony took advantage of his height and weight to keep playing back-ups against Long Rui.

And Long Rui responded with his dexterity and varied offensive methods!
The point difference between the two teams has always remained at around 5 points, and there is one minute left in the game.

The Knicks control the ball, and they must score this time, otherwise the situation will be very dangerous.

Anthony was holding the ball on the outside. At this moment, he was panting heavily, and his physical energy was almost exhausted.

Long Rui's turntable was better than him. After all, he didn't play as much time as Anthony, but he also felt a little tired.

The intensity of the playoffs far exceeds that of the regular season. In fact, Long Rui didn't play a lot of playing time in this game, but he felt tired.

Facing Long Rui's defense, Anthony no longer had much physical strength to fight physically.

Therefore, he chose the easiest way to shoot, and directly pulled out from outside the three-point line!
