NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

There are still one and a half minutes left in the first quarter.

The score between the two teams is now 29:26, with the Heat leading by 3 points.

After the Cavaliers sent a sideline kick, Long Rui continued to organize the team's offense.

After Wade rested, James took the initiative to defend him.

"Long Rui, let us decide the outcome of this match, come and attack!"

James knew very well that under this lineup, the Heat had no advantage at all.

Therefore, the last thing he wants to see is that Long Rui will drive the Cavaliers. Once this happens, the Heat will fall into a completely passive situation.

So he began to stimulate Long Rui with words constantly, hoping to make Long Rui fall into a one-on-one situation with him.

But he was so cautious, how could Longrui not know, no matter how provocative James was, he would not be moved, and he would fight as he should.

"Shu Hao, you go to the bottom corner."

"George, you come to cover..."

Long Rui continued to direct his teammates to move, completely ignoring James in front of him.

Seeing this, James' complexion immediately sank, and then he simply changed from passive to active, and began to interfere with Long Rui, preventing Long Rui from organizing another attack.

It has to be said that James' proactive attack still had an effect, making Long Rui unable to concentrate on organizing the attack.

He simply passed the ball directly to Paul George and let him handle it.

This is the terrible thing about the second team of the Cavaliers. There are too many people on the court who can handle the ball. In addition to George, Jeremy Lin and Davis can also handle the ball.

On the other hand, the Heat seem a bit shabby, that is, James stayed on the court, otherwise in their second team, only Mike Bibby can handle the ball a little bit.

It's just that the current Bibby doesn't have much offensive ability, so he can't help much at all.

After Paul George received the ball, he immediately launched an offense.

If James goes to guard Long Rui, he will get an excellent offensive opportunity. Almost no other Heat team member can guard Paul George.

After continuous shaking, Paul George easily reached the inside and completed dunks with both hands!

In the next round, George struck again, hit a mid-range jumper, and the score immediately overtook!
"That's how important the depth of the bench is, and it's been the same for the previous four games."

"When the Big Three are on the court, the Heat can win points, but once they enter the rotation, they will immediately fall into a passive position."

"Today's game is no exception. No one can hold down Paul George now."

"James doesn't dare to defend. If he defends George, the even more terrifying Long Rui will be liberated."

"This makes the Heat very uncomfortable. The only way to deal with it may be to let Wade come back early in the second quarter."

"It is not to rotate according to the regular rest time, so as to avoid the Heat's weaknesses from being exposed to the Cavaliers to the greatest extent."

Soon, the first quarter ended.

Relying on the excellent performance of the rotation lineup at the last moment, the Cavaliers completed the reversal and took the lead in their own hands.

31:34
The Cavaliers entered the second quarter with a 3-point lead.

In fact, at the beginning of the second quarter, coach Spoelstra already wanted to replace the starter, but the rest time was too short.

In desperation, he chose to wait for 2 minutes.

However, in just 2 minutes, the Cavaliers opened up the point difference again, reaching 6 points.

After a dead ball, coach Spoelstra immediately chose to make a substitution. He thought he would replace LeBron James for a while, but he didn't do so, and James still stayed on the court.

"The Heat also worked hard to win this game."

"Now it seems that James is very likely to play the entire first half!"

"It means that the Big Three are young, so Coach Spoelstra dared to make such a decision. If it were the Celtics' three elders, it would definitely not work."

Yang Yi also made a joke.

"Now is the time to test the Cavaliers. After the Heat changed their starting lineup, they didn't mean to change players. They still wanted to give Curry and others more rest time."

"It depends on how long the rotation can last under the impact of the Heat's Big Three."

Zhang Weiping said seriously.

After the substitutions, the Heat swept away the decline, and the Big Three joined forces to launch a counterattack!
First, 'The Flash' Wade broke through and caused damage, and then 'Dragon King' Bosh hit a turnaround jumper.

LeBron James was also not to be outdone. In a defense, he successfully predicted the passing route of the Cavaliers, and after completing the steal, he and Wade staged a Janeway connection!
The little advantage the Cavaliers had just established disappeared in an instant.

Seeing the Heat's momentum, Byron Scott also called a timeout in time. After this timeout, Curry and others will also be replaced again.

Replaced with the strongest offensive lineup, Yi Jianlian played the fifth position. While switching back to Curry, George was kept on the court, and Jeremy Lin was also kept.

This lineup is the strongest weapon of the Cavaliers. Everyone has the ability to attack independently, and they can all play support. The offensive tactics are also varied.

"Don't be careless, pay attention to defense."

Coach Spoelstra immediately reminded him that he was completely familiar with the Cavaliers' lineup.

Once on the offensive, the Heat are almost impossible to defend.

Now it depends on who maintains a better state, and whoever can gain the advantage.

The performance of the Heat's Big Three on the court is still unsolvable. They played to the extreme on the offensive end and played their best form.

Generally speaking, when the Big Three play well, the Heat are almost always in an absolute lead.

But today they didn't have a little advantage, but fell into a passive position. The reason is that the Cavaliers are in such a good state.

They are all soldiers, and all five players on the field have scored. Under such a situation where there are so many points blooming, the Heat have always been suppressed!
Soon, the first half of the game ended in fierce competition, and the Cavaliers were still in the leading position, even if the lead was only 2 points.

But being able to lead the Heat under such circumstances is a very difficult thing in itself!

"Fortunately, it's the battle of Tianwang Mountain, this intensity is even more intense than the previous four games!"

"Best playoff game I've seen so far!"

"Maybe there will never be such a wonderful matchup in the finals!"

"If these two teams are in the East and West, they may be able to meet in the finals. This is a pity."
