NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"This timeout adjustment is critical for the Celtics."

"With less than half a quarter left before the end of the first half, the double-digit point difference is a bit dangerous."

"The offensive ability of the Cavaliers is obvious to all. Once they keep a big lead, it will be difficult to turn it back."

"You know, when the Cavaliers led the first three quarters this season, they only lost one game, which was the last round of the series against the Heat."

"Director Zhang, what adjustments do you think Coach Rivers should make during this timeout in order to be able to deal with the hot Cavaliers?"

Su Qun asked Zhang Weiping.

"According to the current situation, the only way to bring Rondo back is to have an organizational point on the court."

"I believe that with Rondo's ability, the team will soon be able to find a rhythm on the offensive end."

"Just look at the time after Rondo left the field to see how important he is to the trend of the game."

"In this round of the Eastern Conference finals, whether the Celtics can win or not depends on Rondo's performance."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the Big Three will explode suddenly, but it is still possible to play once in a while. It is almost impossible to continue the entire series. After all, the age of these three people is placed here, and the data is declining year by year. It also confirms their current state."

While talking, the pause has ended.

After much consideration, Coach Rivers decided to bring Rondo and Pierce back on the field.

In the first attack back from the timeout, Rondo regained control of the ball.

He began to constantly organize his teammates to run, and the effect was obviously much better than that of Ray Allen.

After a few runs, an opportunity presented itself immediately.

After Pierce received the pass, he directly shot a mid-range jumper from an open position. The fiery touch did not dissipate with his end, and he successfully scored the first goal after re-entering the court!
"It has to be Rondo to organize. Once he plays, the effect will be immediate!"

"Pierce also maintained the state before the end of the game, let's see if this offensive momentum can continue!"

In the next round, the Cavaliers' offense made a mistake, allowing the Celtics to seize the opportunity to fight back.

Although the Big Three are a bit old, Rondo is still very young, and his speed is also extremely fast.

On the court, a 'green whirlwind' whizzed past, rushed straight to the frontcourt, and succeeded in a one-stop layup!

In less than 30 seconds, the two have helped the team chase four points in a row. This kind of chasing efficiency is extremely impressive.

With the scoring of this goal, the Celtics' bench cheered immediately. They swept away the previous gloom and began to cheer for their teammates on the field.

Seeing that he was chased for four points and the opponent was about to start, Curry couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He also wanted to organize the team to score as soon as possible.

But the more anxious he is, the more likely he will make mistakes. After all, he is still young and lacks experience in such big scenes. When he organizes the offense, he has communication problems.

Paul George, who was supposed to appear in the bottom corner, stood at a 45-degree angle, causing Curry to pass the ball directly out of bounds this time, which was another mistake.

"I didn't ask you to go to the bottom corner, why are you here?"

Stephen Curry turned around and questioned.

"Can you pass the ball and look at my position, I was delayed by the opposite side, and I haven't had time to pass."

Paul George responded immediately.

After that, the two didn't say anything more. After all, the game was still going on, but they didn't look at each other very friendly.

"I just saw that there seemed to be some quarrel between George and Curry. I hope that emotions will not affect the game."

Su Qun said worriedly.

Next, the Celtics' offense, after a few runs, managed to score again.

In just over a minute, the ten point difference has been reduced to only four points.

On the sidelines, Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott finally paid attention.

"What are you doing? Pay attention to defense! Pay attention to coordination!"

He hastily reminded him, but the reminder didn't work.

Since Curry and George had a quarrel just now, there has been no cooperation between the two.

On the offensive end, Curry played more for Yi Jianlian, directly ignoring the existence of Paul George. Even if George had an open opportunity, he did not choose to pass the ball.

This also caused the Cavaliers' offense to stagnate, and Yi Jianlian alone could not open the situation at all.

Pierce, Garnett and others also saw the Cavaliers' problems, so how could they let go of this rare opportunity?

Under Rondo's organization, they played more and more smoothly on the offensive end.

After Garnett scored at the basket, the [-]-point difference has been smoothed out.

"Hey! Tied!"

"The two young players, Curry and George, are still affected by emotions."

"Actually, Coach Scott should have replaced the players as soon as the two had a dispute, so as to at least avoid disharmony on the field."

"It is also common to have disputes while playing on the court. This is the time to test your character."

"Mature players and immature players present two completely different situations."

"For example, the three Celtics, they actually had quarrels with each other on the court."

"But that's just a matter of one round. In the next round, how to fight or how to fight will not affect the cooperation between each other. This is maturity."

Zhang Weiping said leisurely.

At this time, coach Scott finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly replaced Paul George with Long Rui.

He should have done this long ago, but he still chose to trust George and Curry and planned to wait a little longer. Who knew that the performance of these two guys disappointed him.

"Finally, Long Rui was replaced. He also rested for several minutes. It is very rare for him to be able to rest for such a long time in the first half."

"Now the two teams have returned to the same starting line, and the lineup has completely changed back to the starting lineup. Now let's see who can gain the advantage at the end of the half."

After Long Rui returned to the field, the situation of the Cavaliers immediately improved.

Curry also handed over the ball and began to follow Long Rui's instructions.

At this point in the game, it is completely the moment of confrontation between the two 'commanders'. Whoever can organize the team's offense will have the upper hand.

For Long Rui's first attack after returning to the field, he chose to cooperate with Yi Jianlian in a pick-and-roll.

Using the pick-and-roll, pull out Garnett inside, so that the opponent's basket has no height.

Immediately afterwards, he showed his personal ability, using footstep changes to complete a breakthrough.

Facing Jeff Green's supplementary defense, Long Rui jumped high, folded the lever to avoid the block, and the basketball hit the board!
