NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Three days later, the fourth game of the two teams also arrived as scheduled.

At the beginning of the game, the Heat showed the same desire to win as the previous game.

As long as they can win this game, they will enter the match point, which is a great boost to the confidence of the entire team.

At the same time, this can also deal a heavy blow to the Cavaliers. If the series falls behind by a big score of 1:3, the mentality of the players will definitely change.

Especially for a young team like the Cavaliers, under such tremendous pressure, it is easy to collapse.

Throughout the first quarter, the Heat were in control of the situation on the field.

The two of James and Wei bombed in turn, tearing apart the Cavaliers' defense with sharp breakthroughs.

The only good thing is that the Cavaliers didn't give up on this. Although they couldn't limit the offense of Jane and Way, they also played very well on the offensive end.

After Stephen Curry lost his touch in the previous game, he quickly recovered the state he should have in this game.

In the first quarter of the game, he personally hit three three-pointers. Whenever the Heat wanted to open the score, he would use a three-pointer to help the team bite the score in time.

After the first quarter, the Heat took a 5-point lead, which was a good start.

During the intermission, the Cavaliers began to make adjustments. They made a big fuss about the rotation, retaining Curry and Long Rui, while taking Paul George and Jeremy Lin, plus a Baron Davis.

Completely abandoned the inside line to form a super offensive lineup.

This was also Long Rui's special arrangement. The reason why he dared to do this was because the Heat didn't have a decent inside line after Bosh left the field, so they were not afraid of how much advantage the opponent would have inside.

This lineup is something the Cavaliers have never tried before. Even if they play a small lineup, they will keep Yi Jianlian on the court, at least to a certain height.

"The Cavaliers are going to put all their eggs in one basket. This lineup looks full of impact. I don't know if it will have a miraculous effect!"

Heat coach Spoelstra was also very surprised. He never expected that in such an important game, the Cavaliers would dare to make bold changes and put on such an unconventional lineup.

At this moment, many Cavaliers fans began to talk about it. Many fans thought it was a nonsense, because in their impression, such a lineup had obvious shortcomings.

Only a small number of fans believe that the Cavaliers may be able to reverse the situation with this lineup.

And it turns out that small group of fans were right.

After the start of the second quarter, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

The Cavaliers' offense is extremely sharp, everyone has the ability to break through, and the screen coordination between each other is very good.

It doesn't look like a temporary lineup at all, but a mature lineup that has been practiced countless times.

On the offensive end they are unstoppable, and on the defensive end they are pressing with all their strength. Although they have lost height, they have brought an advantage in speed.

At this time, the only strong point in the Heat's lineup is Wade.

As a result, the Cavaliers decisively adopted a targeted defense, which is to limit Wade.

Without Wade's scoring ability, the Heat's offensive efficiency immediately fell off a cliff, and the Cavaliers took advantage of this opportunity to overtake the score!
Coach Spoelstra immediately called a timeout and replaced the starting lineup.

I thought that the Cavaliers would also switch to the starting lineup, but they still did not change.

Long Rui's purpose is very clear, which is to use this extreme lineup to fight against the Heat.

He is very clear that it is impossible to limit the Big Three of the Heat at the same time on the defensive end, so the only way to win is to fight the offense.

Relying on a wave of offensive climax in the early part of the second quarter, they held an 8-point lead.

In the next game, as long as they keep scoring on the offensive end, the Heat will not be able to recover the score.

The best defense is offense. Long Rui implemented this sentence into this game. Of course, this is also a gambling choice.

Fortunately, they won this game!

When the final whistle blew, the Cavaliers just won by 8 points and evened the series again tenaciously!
After this game, many people also changed their original views on the trend of the game.

Only then did they realize that the Cavaliers are also very strong. They may only be slightly weaker than the Heat, but they still have a chance to win the series.

Now, the Cavaliers even have a slight advantage.

Because of the next game, the Cavaliers' home court, the Quicken Loans Center Arena, will be answered again.

The fifth game is very important. Whoever can win the game will be able to get the match point first.

Therefore, this fifth game is also called the Battle of Tianwang Mountain!
……

Kecheng, inside the Cavaliers training facility.

"Tomorrow is the game. Everyone trains well today, keep fit, and we will definitely win tomorrow's game!"

Head coach Byron Scott was a constant source of encouragement.

"Coach, do you have any special arrangements for tomorrow?"

Curry and others also asked.

They are feeling very nervous now, and they are also under a lot of pressure. Tomorrow's game may be related to whether they can go further in the playoffs.

Speaking of this question, Scott also habitually looked at Long Rui.

"Long Rui, what do you think?"

Without even thinking about it, Long Rui immediately said, "Can we make other changes?"

"After four games, I think both sides have used all the changes they should have."

"In the next game, the competition is not about change, but about attitude."

"The attitude towards the victory of the game, and the peace of mind..."

Speaking of this, Long Rui's tone hesitated.

The mentality of his teammates has always been his biggest concern. For example, in the third game, there was an obvious problem with the mentality of his teammates, which led to their final loss of 17 points.

Long Rui was also worried that this problem would reappear, which would be very unfavorable to them.

At the same time, the Heat are also preparing for tomorrow's Tianwangshan battle.

"Listen, our goal this season is a championship."

"The outside world has a lot of prejudice against us. They don't want us to form such a strong lineup."

"They are all waiting to see our digestion. Once we lose, there will be countless abuses."

"If you don't want to bear the abuse from the outside world, then do your best to win tomorrow's game!"

Immediately afterwards, Coach Spoelstra organized the team to start training to ensure that the players remained in a hot state for tomorrow's crucial battle!
