NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"Sure enough, you came earlier than me..."

Looking at the figure of Long Rui shooting, Yi Jianlian said meaningfully.

"I can't help it. In the end I just didn't throw the ball in. Isn't this time for extra practice!"

Long Rui said in a flat tone.

"It seems that you have come out of the shadow of losing!"

Yi Jianlian smiled slightly.

"Have you got it yet? I'm not a heartless guy. How could I get out so quickly?"

Long Rui immediately denied it.

"Then you are pretending?"

Hearing Long Rui's answer, Yi Jianlian became worried again.

However, Long Rui shook his head: "It's not pretending, it's just that everyone responds in different ways."

"Some people get frustrated and they get stuck, but obviously that doesn't help the team in any way."

"Instead of being negative, it's better to face it bravely, and only after finding out the problem can we go further?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, come and practice with me, and you will be responsible for interfering with my shooting."

When the last sentence came out, Yi Jianlian was suddenly surprised: "You asked me to guard you? But we are not players in the same position..."

"This effect is what we want. There will be a lot of misplacements in the game."

"I found that when I was facing some big men, my shooting would always be affected and there would be instability, so I need to strengthen this aspect of practice."

Long Rui said calmly.

Regarding this, Yi Jianlian had no choice but to give a wry smile, and walked over reluctantly, playing the role of training partner.

You know, being Long Rui's partner training is a very hard work, because Long Rui's training intensity has always been greater than any of them.

Among the players Yi Jianlian has seen, Long Ruishi has the most intensive training, and no one can compare with him.

Of course, he also knows that there are many training freaks in the league, maybe their training is more crazy than Long Rui, such as the 'Black Mamba' in Los Angeles.

……

In Kecheng, in a hotel, Heat coach Spoelstra is organizing his players to a training facility.

They originally planned to borrow the Cavaliers' venue for training at a certain time, but when he made an appointment with the main manager of the arena, he was directly rejected.

The reason is that there is no free time, because the Cavaliers have to use it for training.

Generally speaking, when a team is playing with the away team, it will make an appointment with the home team to train at the home team's stadium.

Under normal circumstances, if the players of the home team have no special arrangements, they will agree.

"Guys, hurry up, we have to go to another arena, it's a bit far away."

Coach Spoel kept calling.

"Coach, are they doing it on purpose, just not letting us get a good training."

Mario Chalmers said with some displeasure.

At this time, Heat captain Haslem said: "I don't think they did it on purpose, but they are really serious about training."

"Because I often hear some news about Long Rui's training. That guy's training is very intensive. He often stays in the training ground for a whole day. Those who don't know think he lives there."

After hearing this sentence, many Heat players were surprised.

"Training all day? Is this a joke? So much energy?"

Chalmers frowned suddenly, expressing doubts.

However, LeBron James said: "This guy may be so crazy, otherwise he would never be able to play such an incredible season."

"So we have to hurry up and train. This round of the series has just begun, and we just won a game by luck."

"If they had played more cautiously at the last moment yesterday, maybe we would have lost."

"LeBron is right, well, don't delay, let's go."

With that said, Coach Spoelstra took the Heat players to the arena where they were training.

……

At eight o'clock, in the training hall of the Cavaliers, Curry and others have all arrived.

Under Long Rui's request, the team has a strong sense of time. No one dares to be late. If there is something delayed, they must ask for leave. This is the team's rule.

"Long Rui, hurry up and assign today's training tasks!"

Curry said immediately.

No one is going to talk about yesterday's loss, because it has become the past, they have to look forward.

Similarly, this is what Long Rui will pass on to them in his usual training, that is, how to adjust his mentality.

Long Rui had already made today's training plan after watching the video playback last night.

He took out the plan and arranged it one by one, followed by a day of training.

At the beginning, many players complained that the team's training intensity was too high, but they gradually got used to it and even liked this feeling.

Their second series will be played the day after tomorrow. For the Cavaliers, the second leg of the series cannot be missed.

Once they lose again, the situation of the whole series will take a turn for the worse.

Because of the playoff system, they will fly to Miami after the second game to go to the Heat's home court.

This season, the Heat's performance at home is very strong, and it is even more difficult for them to overcome the general situation.

……

Two days passed in a hurry, and the second contest between the Cavaliers and the Heat arrived as scheduled.

Quicken Loans Center arena is lively again tonight.

Although after the loss in the first game, the fans complained one after another, and even many people said that they would not go to the team's game again.

But these are just short-term angry words. When it comes time for the game, they look forward to it more than anyone else, because they have an obsession in their hearts, and they just want to see the team win the opponent in the second game.

The second contest began amidst the voices of the fans.

The two sides did not make any adjustments in the starting lineup.

At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers showed a tyrannical posture. Everyone played very aggressively, and they were unambiguous in terms of physical confrontation.

In the opening stage, under the leadership of Long Rui, the Cavaliers played an 8:0 offensive climax and established a certain advantage.

The Heat were a little caught off guard. They knew that today's game would be difficult, but they didn't expect the Cavaliers to be in such a good state.

Throughout the first half of the game, the Cavaliers always suppressed the Heat.

During the period, James and Wade tried several times to turn around the disadvantages, but they were all suppressed by Long Rui in the end.

The game situation in the second half was also unclear. In the end, the Heat lost the game 95:102 after a failed counterattack.

The Cavaliers took the shame and evened the series to 1:1.
