NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Chapter 201 Finding a Breakthrough

"The two sides still maintain the offensive state of you coming and going, and neither of them relaxes at all."

"The Big Three of the Heat played absolute dominance on the offensive end, once again proving that they are the strongest trio in the league."

"And the performance of the Cavaliers is equally astonishing. Relying on their tacit teamwork, they fought against this terrible opponent!"

The commentator at the scene is passionately explaining the game.

The fans in front of the screen also watched very seriously. They cheered for their favorite teams, but the fans who supported the Cavaliers were obviously better than the Heat.

After all, the Heat this season is a full-name public enemy. Apart from Miami fans, there are almost no supporters.

In China, Kobe and James accounted for more than half of the fans, but this was only before Long Rui appeared.

Now because of Long Rui's appearance, his number of fans in China has surpassed these two.

Besides, whenever there is a Long Rui game, no matter who the fans are, they will all turn against Long Rui without exception.

The comment areas of the major platforms have already been maxed out, and without exception, they are all cheering for the Cavaliers.

On the court, more than four minutes have passed in the fourth quarter.

During this period of time, the offensive state of the two teams was excellent, but with the exhaustion of physical strength, there was a gradual downward trend.

The Heat failed to score three consecutive offenses, and the Cavaliers also failed to score in two rounds.

Long Rui controls the ball from beyond the three-point line and organizes the team's offense. Until now, except for timeouts and intervals, he has not had a single second of rest.

If nothing else, he will still play the entire game today. This is his second consecutive game of such high intensity, and even Iron Man may not be able to bear it.

Long Rui could already clearly feel the soreness in his legs, and he might have cramps if he continued to fight, because he was so exhausted.

But knowing that there was a risk of cramping, he still didn't rest after the game. After all, no one dared to relax at this moment in the game.

Long Rui took the initiative to reduce his personal offense and try to make his running as little as possible.

Under his command, Curry and others continued to move positions. After several cooperations, they finally found a little opportunity.

Long Rui also passed the ball immediately, and Paul George caught the ball and shot it. Unfortunately, he couldn't grasp it, and the basketball bounced out of the hoop.

This is already the fifth ball Paul George missed in this game, and he only took seven shots in total. It can be seen that his shooting state is really bad today.

If George's state can be stabilized, the Cavaliers will use him as the core to attack during this period.

Because among these players on the field now, Paul George is the best in maintaining physical fitness. He hardly played a few minutes in the first half, so there is no physical problem at all.

Byron Scott looked at George's poor hand feeling, and was also a little anxious, with a look of hatred for iron and steel.

Coach Spoelstra secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the Cavaliers lacked a strong offensive point, and their defensive pressure would be relatively reduced.

After receiving the defensive rebound, Bosh handed the ball to James.

It can be seen that James has also begun to slow down their offensive rhythm, obviously he is also trying to save energy as much as possible.

The offensive rhythm of the two sides went from fast to slow, and fell into a positional attack.

From the viewing point of view, it seems to be insufficient, but the degree of confrontation between the two teams has not decreased at all.

After falling into the position, the physical confrontation will naturally become more frequent, which looks very intense.

Insider Yi Jianlian pressed against Bosh tightly, trying to prevent him from finding a comfortable spot to catch the ball.

Even Curry, who is not very good at defense, is staring at Chalmers at the moment.

Long Rui is in charge of defending Wade. Naturally, his defensive ability doesn't need much. He is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

And Paul George still shoulders the heavy responsibility of defending James. Although he has an obvious disadvantage in the matchup, he is now more physically strong than James.

Paul George also took out his most serious defensive attitude, constantly confronting James physically, using such a head-to-head method to further consume James' physical energy.

In this round of offense, James couldn't find a good pass opportunity, and in the end he could only attack by himself.

He headed towards the inside against Paul George, and finally relied on a stronger force to force the ball in.

Although he scored a goal, he was not happy because this was not the way he wanted to score.

Even if he can score a few goals in this way, it is not a long-term solution. Once his physical strength is exhausted, he will no longer be able to cause damage.

Now all the Cavaliers have to do is force James to attack himself and cut him off from his teammates.

In the next round, James' passing route was cut off again, and he fell into the situation of individual combat again.

Only this time, facing Paul George's tough defense, he was not able to score the ball.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers, after he missed the shot, began to counterattack, and Paul George quickly rushed to the frontcourt.

Long Rui immediately threw the ball over. Although George's shooting touch in this game is not good, he can still make a layup!
After he passed the defender with a change of footsteps, he directly made a layup with a big stride!

Immediately afterwards, the Cavaliers once again completed a successful defense, Paul George immediately went down, caught the ball and scored!
In two consecutive rounds, the Cavaliers almost scored two goals in the same way. They seemed to have found a breakthrough direction, and Paul George also rebuilt his confidence.

Seeing the turn, Coach Spoelstra hastily called a timeout, trying to stop the momentum of the Cavaliers.

"We can't play like this anymore, we have to move the ball."

"LeBron, Dwyane, you two are still in charge of the main offense."

"Chris, you're setting the screen for them both, and whoever has the ball, you're going to have to pick and roll."

"If there's a switch, you cut right to the basket and score."

"If they don't switch, you go outside, open up as much space as possible, and create the best lane for them."

Coach Spoel spoke while making gestures on the tactical board.

As for the Cavaliers, Byron Scott kept emphasizing: "Now we have a good momentum, just keep it like this!"

"Also, we must continue to defend well, just like just now, forcing LeBron to play alone."

"We are only 5 minutes away from the victory of the game. After this time, we can relax!"
