NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

A wave of crazy offensive performances directly tied the Heat.

Coach Spoelstra hastily called a timeout. He never expected that the Cavaliers' outside touch is so good today.

"Dwyane, Chris, you are ready to play."

"LeBron, you come down and rest."

"Their outside shooting is very accurate today. We can no longer use the zone defense casually, unless we have to."

Spoelstra has been emphasizing the team's defense, which is the key to the Heat's victory.

After the timeout, the Heat switched back to the main force and planned to launch a counterattack.

The Cavaliers still use a rotation lineup to give Curry and others more rest time.

In the first attack back from a timeout, 'The Flash' Wade and 'Dragon King' Bosh played a match.

Wade first handed the ball to Bosh, and then followed the screen of Chalmers, blocked Long Rui behind him, and cut towards the inside.

Bosh sees the timing, and a ground pass is accurately sent to Wade's hands.

Inside, Hollins wanted to come over to defend, but Wade's speed did not decrease at all, and he jumped towards Hollins!
The terrifying explosive power was revealed in an instant, and it was a dunk across the 213 cm big man!
"WOW! Shocking buckle!"

"Flash Wade, dunk Hollins!"

If this goal is at the Heat's home court, it will instantly ignite the atmosphere of the fans!

After completing the buckle, Wade also made an extremely pretending celebration very arrogantly.

Long Rui also couldn't help but glanced twice more. I have to say that when it comes to the celebration, X Wang Wade is definitely the leader!

The point difference has returned to the same starting line again, but there is still more than half a quarter left in the second quarter, which is very important for both sides.

If you can establish an advantage in who can establish an advantage in the first half, you can at least establish a little advantage psychologically.

"Coach, let's play. The Heat have replaced the main force, and at this time LeBron is off the court. They lack a strong point."

On the bench, Stephen Curry said anxiously.

"That's right, Coach. Long Rui has been playing for a long time. You can't let him and Paul George score all the time, can you?"

Yi Jianlian also echoed.

Hearing this, Byron Scott nodded after thinking for a while, and you are ready now, and you will play again the next time the ball is dead.

In the next two rounds, both sides scored a goal, but after Chalmers made a mistake and the basketball went out of bounds, the Cavaliers finally replaced Curry and others on the court again!

The purpose of this substitution is very clear, which is to widen the point difference with the Heat, so Scott kept Paul George, a stable scoring point, on the court.

This is also the most powerful offensive lineup of the Cavaliers. Yi Jianlian was mentioned to the fifth position, and Hickson was assigned to the fourth position.

Although the height of this lineup is insufficient, it is full of offensive firepower.

However, the height of this lineup just matches the Heat's. The Heat's inside line is only as high as Bosh, and it is not as good as Yi Jianlian.

"Both sides are almost the strongest offensive lineup. It's a pity that LeBron is not here, otherwise there will be a very exciting counter attack!"

"Now let's see if the Heat can withstand the crazy attack of the Cavaliers before LeBron comes back!"

The Cavaliers sent out the sideline ball, and Long Rui controlled the ball from the outside. Now there is no LeBron on the court, and the defender of Long Rui has become Jones, who has always maintained a high defensive height against him.

Although Jones' height is comparable to that of James, his physical strength is not at the same level.

As long as Long Rui wants to play singles, he can teach his opponents a lesson at any time.

But Long Rui did not choose to do this, because if he wanted to play the whole game, he had to use his physical strength reasonably.

What's more, they don't lack offensive points now, and teammates on the court can complete the scoring. Therefore, what he has to do now is to connect the teams so that everyone in the Cavaliers can find the feeling of offense.

"A Lian, you go to the free throw line to respond."

"Stephen, you go to the bottom corner to ambush."

"George, you go to the weak side and set up."

"Hickson, you come to cover for me..."

Long Rui continued to direct his teammates.

Then, he followed Hixon's screen to form a dislocation, and used his speed advantage to complete the breakthrough, attracting the opponent to come to make up the defense.

Curry in the bottom corner was emptied, and Long Rui passed the ball to Curry regardless of his back. The latter caught the ball and shot it, hitting a three-pointer!

The Cavaliers began to show no solution on the offensive end, but the Heat were not to be outdone.

After LeBron went off the court, 'Dragon King' Bosh increased the initiative and singled Yi Jianlian in the paint.

His rich offensive skills allow him to play with ease, and his precise turnaround jumper is his housekeeping skill, which also made Yi Jianlian suffer a lot.

However, the Cavaliers immediately adjusted their defense. They focused their defense on Wade and Bosh, intentionally emptying other players.

This defensive strategy is a bit similar to the Heat's zone defense tactics. The defense shrinks very little, leaving room for outside shots.

Compared with the Cavaliers, the Heat's three-point shooting ability is much inferior.

When the Cavaliers used such a defense, the Heat's offense gradually fell into a stagnation.

It is difficult for Wade to use the breakthrough to score again. Even if he can still break in, the Cavaliers will immediately make up the defense, so that he cannot get a shot.

And Bosh inside will have two players to look after him at any time, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Such defensive changes have allowed the Cavaliers to gradually gain the upper hand. On the offensive end, they have almost no weaknesses, and everyone has the ability to attack with the ball.

It's almost impossible for the Heat to guard them.

In 3 minutes, the Cavaliers played a 9:3 offensive climax, opening the point difference to 6 points.

"Let me play."

On the Heat's bench, LeBron James finally couldn't sit still.

He rested for a few minutes, and the team immediately fell behind. He didn't want to lose to the Cavaliers in the first game, and he could play the whole game if needed.

"You don't want to rest a little longer?"

Coach Spoel asked.

James shook his head: "No, what I want is to win."

As soon as the words fell, James' expression immediately revealed a strong fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Coach Spoel also nodded and didn't say anything more, he understood James.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, James was replaced again.

At this moment, there are still more than two minutes left before the end of the first half of the game.

"LeBron is back on the court. This should be a duel between the strongest lineups of the two sides. It's really exciting!"
