NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Chapter 163 Complete the redemption and narrowly defeat the opponent

All eyes are on the direction of the basket. This three-pointer is crucial for the Knicks.

If they invest, they still have a glimmer of life, but if they miss, they will fall short.

"This ball has a very positive trajectory!"

"But...the strength was a little weaker, unfortunately, it hit the front edge of the basket."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person jumping up from the gap, it was the 'little bully' Stoudemire!

Under the basket, Yi Jianlian and Varejao jumped almost at the same time as him, trying to grab the rebound.

But Stoudemire abruptly pulled up from the middle of the two. Although he was not as tall as the two of them, his excellent jumping ability and keen sense of rebounding helped him pick off the offensive rebound from the top of the two of them!

After receiving the rebound, Stoudemire took off again under the basket for a second attack.

Yi Jianlian and Varejao didn't have time to react because of the speed of the bullet. Varejao wanted to drag Stoudemire out of instinct. He would rather send Stoudemire to the free throw line than let him score under the basket.

There was nothing wrong with Varejao's choice, but he never expected that under his pull, Stoudemire still scored the ball and caused a foul!
In this way, the harm outweighs the gain by being self-defeating.

After scoring this goal, Stoudemire roared again, showing off his biceps!

Immediately, Stoudemire stood on the free throw line, he withstood the pressure, made an additional free throw, and successfully scored 3 points, making up for Anthony's missed three-pointer.

The point difference between the two teams has been chased to two points. As long as the Knicks defend the Cavaliers' offense, they will have a chance to tie the game or even kill it!
At this moment, the fans in the entire Quicken Loans Arena were quiet, creating a good environment for the team's final attack.

The Cavaliers sent the baseline ball, and Long Rui pushed the ball to the frontcourt, pressing the attack time.

The teammates also cooperated very much to open up the space for him, allowing Long Rui to end the game.

There are still 12 seconds left in the game, and the Cavaliers only have the last 6 seconds to attack.

At this moment, Long Rui launched his last attack.

Anthony stared intently at his every move, and he was bound to defend the ball.

Long Rui feinted continuously, and with two seconds left in the attack clock, he made a step-back jumper.

However, his idea was judged by Anthony!

At the same time that Long Rui took a step back, Anthony also took a step forward, cutting the ball out of Long Rui's hand quickly and ruthlessly!
"Anthony made the right choice and even completed the steal at this time!"

"At this time, Long Rui made the only mistake in this game, but it will be the most fatal mistake!"

After Anthony cut the ball, Long Rui's heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously fought for the ball, but Anthony blocked him by virtue of his height and weight and snatched the ball.

'Big Heart' Billups was the first to react. He immediately rushed towards the frontcourt, and Anthony also passed the ball along the way.

"This game is going into overtime!"

"Look at Long Rui! He is speeding up, and he hasn't given up yet!"

Long Rui, who charged at full speed, rushed to catch up, the speed was amazing.

Because of time constraints, Billups didn't notice Long Rui behind him. After he hit the basket, he was about to lay up to tie the score.

However, at the moment when the basketball was released, a figure roared from behind him!

"Snapped!"

A desperate voice sounded in Billups' ears. When he looked up and saw Long Rui in the air, his heart suddenly felt bitter.

The solid pegboard hat extinguished the last glimmer of hope for the Knicks and plunged them into darkness.

All the previous efforts were in vain under this block.

Anthony squatted on the ground, lowered his head, letting the sweat drip down and wet the floor.

Stoudemire kept shaking his head with his hands on his hips.

Billups looked up at the score, and the image of Long Rui blocking the shot echoed in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If he could have been younger, if his speed had been a little faster, maybe the result would have been different.

It's a pity that no one can restore the passing time, even if they are superstars, they will eventually be eroded by the years.

In the first game of the playoffs, the Cavaliers narrowly beat the Knicks by 2 points.

Long Rui also breathed a sigh of relief in an instant. If he didn't complete the redemption with this goal, then he is likely to be abused by the fans.

After a moment of calm, Long Rui and the Nix generals embraced each other.

"Long Rui, you deserve the victory in this competition, it's nice to be young..."

Billups congratulated very generously, but his words always made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Good boy, you are the strongest rookie I have seen in these years!"

"But we were just a little short in this game, just wait, you won't be so lucky in the next game!"

Anthony also expressed his recognition of Long Rui.

They are opponents in the game, they can talk trash to each other, and even fight, but after the game they are friends, which is the charm of sports competition.

There are not many players who can be recognized as strong by Anthony, but Long Rui did it, which is enough to show Long Rui's excellence.

In fact, in addition to Anthony, Long Rui has been recognized by many superstar players, including the Big Three of the Heat.

Even before the start of the playoffs, the Big Three of the Heat also said in an interview with the media that their biggest opponent in the playoffs is the Cavaliers.

"What an incredible game!"

"Who would have thought that such a dramatic scene would happen at the last moment of the game."

"After Long Rui was robbed, I think the first reaction of all fans was that the game was going to be dragged into overtime."

"However, Long Rui put on a peg board cap at the last second and completed self-salvation."

"It has to make people feel that Chauncey Billups is still old after all, and time has eroded his legs."

In the CV-5 live broadcast room, Su Qun also expressed emotion.

"This game was an anxious one. With the Cavaliers leading by 20 points, they were almost reversed by their opponents."

"This is actually because this team is too young and lacks experience in the playoffs."

"Especially Paul George's performance in the early part of the fourth quarter is a nightmare. If Coach Scott made a later substitution, the Knicks might have reversed."

"I hope these young players of the Cavaliers can learn a little bit of experience after this game and bring us a better game."

Zhang Weiping finally made an analysis of the game.

After the game, the Cavaliers locker room was full of celebratory atmosphere, but Long Rui didn't look that happy.

"Long Rui, why don't you celebrate after winning the game?"

Yi Jianlian said with a smile.

Long Rui glanced at him: "This is only the first game of the playoffs, and the series is still very long. Now we should reflect on the mistakes we made in the game."
