NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Halfway through the third quarter, the score came to 80:75.

With their outstanding performance during this period, the Celtics once again took the lead.

Since Rivers' timeout and adjustments, the Celtics have regained their offensive feel and used their strong control ability to let the Cavaliers completely fall into their rhythm.

For nearly half of the game, the Cavaliers have been in a passive situation. When they lost their offensive rhythm, their scoring success rate dropped sharply.

Whether it is tactical movement or personal offense, they have not been able to play.

On the other hand, the Celtics, under the organization of Rondo without the ball, played a smooth offense. They are one of the best offensive teams in the league.

When the game enters the rhythm they are familiar with, they are the opponent's nightmare.

The feeling of the game against the Celtics is completely different from that of the Heat. Although their scoring explosiveness is not as good as that of the Heat, and their talent is not as high as that of the Heat, their performance is too stable.

Even if there is an unfavorable situation, it can quickly adjust back. This is a mature team with championship background.

The game entered the official timeout, which also gave the Cavaliers, who had been passive, a respite.

"During the regular season, it was said that the Celtics were old. They were no longer the number one favorite to win the championship, and they even ranked outside the top five."

"But in the playoffs, you will suddenly find that they still have great strength!"

"Although their ranking in the regular season is only fourth in the Eastern Conference, don't forget that the playoffs are the real beginning."

"It seems that they still have the possibility of reaching the top of the East."

"Facing an opponent who beat them three times in the regular season, they played a completely different performance from the regular season."

"As of the third quarter so far, Rondo has sent 8 assists, tying his personal highest assist data against the Cavaliers in the regular season this season!"

"In fact, if the Cavaliers hadn't flanked him, this data might even have been in double figures."

Su Qun said slowly.

"If the Cavaliers lose today, it will be in the hands of Rondo. His performance on the court is really outstanding."

"And now he doesn't hold the ball at all, and doesn't give the Cavaliers a chance to double-team him at all."

"The Cavaliers can no longer effectively interfere with his organization. Now we can only hope that they can find their own rhythm as soon as possible."

"If they have been led by the Celtics in this way, their chances of winning this game will be very slim."

It was rare for Zhang Weiping to say that the Cavaliers were going to lose, because he himself was a fan of Long Rui, so he naturally hoped that the Cavaliers would win.

But he is a commentator, and he can't let his own temper combine with the actual situation on the field, and the current situation is that the Celtics are the better team.

At this moment, the camera is on the Cavaliers' bench.

Curry and the others didn't look very good. It wasn't that they were out of the game, but they had a sense of helplessness that they couldn't exert their strength, which made them feel very aggrieved.

Now that the team is in a backward situation, and the situation is very unfavorable to them, young players like Curry and George are inevitably anxious.

"Long Rui, is there really no solution?"

Byron Scott also asked, because he really couldn't find any solution, and now all his hopes were pinned on Long Rui.

Long Rui took a deep breath, pondered for a while, and finally shook his head: "In their current state, it is difficult for us to stop their offensive, and we can no longer target Rondo."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then spoke again: "Maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

Curry asked anxiously.

"Perhaps we have no choice but to put all our eggs in one basket and forcefully speed up the offensive rhythm."

Long Rui responded.

"What do you mean?"

Curry frowned, and everyone looked at him.

"You don't have to worry about their defense, you have to be decisive, and as long as there is a chance, no matter who it is, choose to shoot immediately."

"We have to disrupt their rhythm and find our own rhythm so that we have a chance of winning."

"I request that each attack should not exceed 15 seconds, the sooner the better."

"This can increase the number of rounds and have more opportunities to make shots. Even if the hit rate is not high, you can also pull with them."

"But the premise of doing this is to have a super-high-intensity defense. From now on, we must also take the initiative to find physical confrontations and constantly consume them."

Hearing these words, everyone fell into a brief silence.

The risk of Long Rui's proposal is too great. Once they still fail to score, the point difference will be widened, and they may even enter the garbage time earlier.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems that I can't find a better solution, so I have to put all my eggs in one basket.

"Then do it like this. The big deal is losing a game. If you don't fight, you still lose. If you fight, you still have a chance!"

Curry gritted his teeth and immediately agreed with Long Rui's idea.

"Then do it!"

Following his response, everyone chose to support Long Rui.

After the timeout, the two sides returned to the field.

The Cavaliers sent a sideline ball. After Long Rui took the ball across the half court, he threw it directly to Curry at a 45-degree angle on the left.

After receiving the ball, Curry faced Ray Allen's defense and made a three-pointer without hesitation!
"Shh!"

Accurate three-pointer!
From serving to scoring, it took less than eight seconds, and Long Rui didn't organize the attack at all.

"Hey! Curry is so accurate!"

"Come back from a timeout and throw a cold arrow in front of Ray Allen."

"Ray Allen didn't even defend this shot, and he never thought that Curry would choose such a shot!"

Looking back, the Celtics' offense still chose to play steadily, and Rondo continued to plan tactics.

However, it can be clearly seen that the defensive intensity of the Cavaliers has increased a lot. Everyone is closely attached to their defensive object, and as long as there is a chance, they will immediately fight with their bodies.

This defensive change made the Celtics very uncomfortable. They could no longer move freely, and the offensive operation gradually lost their sense of fluency.

There were no good opportunities for several conductions, and in the end it was Pierce who played the individual singles.

Fortunately, he was in excellent form today and successfully scored a goal.

Next, Stephen Curry struck again. He came to a 45-degree angle on the right, and also received the pass from Long Rui and quickly completed the shot!
Only this time, Ray Allen had already taken precautions. He raised his arms high and jumped up to interfere, but he still couldn't stop Curry from scoring!
