NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"Shh!"

Long Rui's first shot was a hollow hit!
The typical Longrui-style step-back three-pointer is also one of the scoring methods he often uses in games.

This kind of ball looks very simple, but in fact it is very strict on the strength of the waist and abdomen of the players, and Long Rui's retreat is so large that it is also very rare.

'The Flash' Wade couldn't help curling his lips. Long Rui gave him a stronger feeling, even stronger than in the regular season.

He still remembered the scene when he faced Long Rui for the first time. At that time, Long Rui gave him the feeling that it was difficult to defend, but if he tried his best to defend, he still had a chance to defend Long Rui.

But now he feels that the young man in front of him is simply unstoppable, and scoring is like picking something out of a pocket for him.

"Yes, you have improved a lot."

As soon as the words fell, Wade's expression became obviously different.

Long Rui also felt the fighting spirit emanating from the opponent.

You must know that 'Flash' Wade still has a very famous name in the playoffs, that is 'Playoff Killer'!
These five words are enough to show how well he will play in the playoffs. Once his desire to attack is aroused, it is also an absolutely terrifying existence.

In the next round, Wade began to show his true nature of killing God.

After he took the ball across the half court, he activated it instantly, blocked Long Rui with Bosh's cover, and then went straight to the inside.

Faced with the double attack of Yi Jianlian and Varejao, Wade used his famous stunt 'Misty Step'!
This trick is actually used by many players in the league, but Wade can use it to the extreme. Many top defenders in the NBA have been fooled by this trick.

Even the combination of Yi Jianlian and Varejao failed to stop Wade's footsteps, and became the background board under the "Misty Step".

Seeing that Wade is in such a brave state, Long Rui also secretly admired in his heart. Although they are rivals, they appreciate each other. In the old Chinese saying, it is sympathy.

After the start of the game, the two teams played back and forth, and the score has always been under the situation of alternating leads.

The Big Three of the Heat made efforts one after another, especially James and Wade, who took turns to attack.

The Cavaliers' defense is actually not bad, even ranking in the forefront of the league, but under the impact of these two, their defense line is as thin as a cicada's wing, and it will be broken at one point.

This is not because the Cavaliers did not defend seriously, but the impact of the 'Janeway' combination is too strong.

No team in the entire league dares to say that it can limit the two of them at the same time.

Coupled with a 'Dragon King' Bosh to do collusion at any time, the Heat have almost developed the offense to the extreme.

As for the Cavaliers, Long Rui also showed a strong desire to attack. After the first three-pointer, he scored two consecutive goals and scored 7 points in a row, helping the team to keep clinging to the score.

In addition to Long Rui, Curry and Yi Jianlian also played to a certain extent.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides fought until 17:16.

The Heat led by one point, and the game entered an official timeout.

"These guys are really difficult to deal with, they can't be guarded at all..."

Hickson looked depressed. He was abruptly stunned by James several times today.

"Not only is it difficult to deal with, it is simply disgusting."

Varejao couldn't help complaining.

Although he played at position [-] and didn't face up directly with James and Wade, but when he watched them both rush to the basket again and again, but he couldn't do anything about it, the kind of grievance in his heart was only his own. in order to understand.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing for us."

With Long Rui's sudden words, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Isn't that a bad thing? I feel like beating these guys is hard..."

Curry gave a wry smile.

"Long Rui, don't be fooled. If there is any good way to deal with it, tell me quickly."

Yi Jianlian also echoed.

However, Long Rui shook his head: "Well, I can't think of a way. They are really hard to defend."

"By good thing I mean, we can get good experience."

"If we can beat them in the series, I believe we will play relatively easily in the following games."

"Such a strong team is the best touchstone. Besides, we may not have no chance of winning."

Speaking of which, Long Rui set his sights on Paul George.

Then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he continued, "Don't forget, we still have a very important weapon!"

"George, whether we can win this round of the series depends on your performance!"

Paul George was startled by Long Rui's words.

"Stop kidding, I'm just a substitute."

"George, you are wrong. We are a team. In my opinion, there is no such thing as a starting substitute. Everyone plays an important role."

"And you're bigger than any of us, so you have to keep your confidence, like in the first round of the playoffs."

Long Rui said seriously.

Since Long Rui helped Paul George build confidence, his performance has become more and more stable. In the first round of the four-game series, he averaged 16.9 points per game, which is an important firepower output point for the Cavaliers.

The reason why Long Rui said that he is the key to winning is because of Paul George's stable output.

In fact, Long Rui knew very well that it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage in the starting lineup, unless the Heat were in a bad state, but the probability of this was extremely slim.

Therefore, if they want to achieve the final winning percentage in the series, they still have to look at the performance of the second team, which is their only advantage.

At this moment, the camera is on the Heat's bench, and Spoelstra is doing some deployment with a tactical board in his hand.

"Now we don't have any problems on the offensive end, just keep going."

"But on the defensive end, we're going to make changes again."

"LeBron, you go to mark Long Rui."

"Dwyane, you go and get Curry."

"..."

Coach Spoelstra made a new defensive deployment. His purpose is very clear, which is to limit the two most important scoring points of the Cavaliers.

Letting Wade defend Curry will make Curry very uncomfortable.

Similarly, James also has a physical advantage in defending Long Rui. Even if he can't defend, he can still play a certain limit.

A moment later, the timeout ended, the two sides returned to the court, and the Cavaliers sent a sideline kick.

Long Rui held the ball on the outside, but LeBron James stood in front of him.

Compared with Wade, James' defensive ability is stronger. With his strong body, Long Rui felt a certain amount of pressure.

He immediately abandoned his plan to attack, and glanced at Curry out of the corner of his eye.
