NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Stephen Curry made an open shot from the bottom corner and made a hollow three-pointer!

Paul George made an open mid-range shot from the weak side and added two more points.

Yi Jianlian turned and hooked at the basket and easily scored!
It's all thanks to Doc Rivers' failed strategy.

The Celtics' double-teaming of Long Rui immediately allowed the Cavaliers to find a lot of offensive opportunities.

Although they restricted Long Rui's firepower, they completely activated Curry and others, and the Cavaliers began to show more blooming situations.

Seeing this, Doug Rivers hurriedly adjusted his defense, but it seemed that it was too late.

The Cavaliers' players fully opened up, and they started a stormy offensive.

Under this crazy offensive, the Celtics were completely suppressed. Even though they have rich experience, it is difficult to stop the momentum of the Cavaliers at this moment.

Since they double-teamed Long Rui, the entire third quarter of the game has become completely one-sided.

After three quarters, the Cavaliers have already achieved a 12-point lead.

This point difference is not particularly large, and it is still within the scope of pursuit. It's just that the current Cavaliers are as imposing as a rainbow, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, and they firmly control the rhythm of the game in their own hands.

Facing such a Cavaliers team, it is extremely difficult for the Celtics to complete a comeback.

Soon, the last quarter of the game between the two sides started.

Although the Celtics were in a backward situation, they did not give up and still played very tenaciously.

The Big Three tried to use their personal abilities to turn the tide of the battle, especially the 'Wolf King' Garnett, who maintained an unyielding heart at all times.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he took up the banner of the team's offense. Facing Yi Jianlian's defense, he kept beating hard and forcing the ball into the basket again and again.

Looking at Garnett's performance during this period, it seems like seeing the "Wolf King" at his peak.

Years are ruthless, but the tough guy who beat his chest and roared has never changed!

Although this is the home court of the Cavaliers, Garnett's performance on the court has been respected by many fans. When he scored a goal, many fans applauded him, which inspired this veteran who is always full of passion .

Garnett's performance is good enough, but still unable to change the situation on the field.

After resisting half a quarter of the game, the aging Celtics once again broke out in a physical crisis. Although the Big Three were very unwilling, they still had to bow to their age after all.

Paul Pierce watched the score difference on the scoring machine get bigger and bigger, but he could only do nothing but breathe heavily with his hands on his hips.

In front of him, young players like Long Rui and Curry were still running tirelessly, scoring goals time and time again.

Pierce looked at everything that happened in front of him, and he also recalled what he looked like back then, and he was like this a while ago...

The final whistle blew.

101:119
The score was fixed at this point. In the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics lost to the Cavaliers by a huge 18-point difference.

The big score in the Eastern Conference Finals was thus rewritten to 2:0.

After the G2 contest ended, Long Rui was in a particularly comfortable mood after winning the game.

This game is much easier than the first game. Through this big victory, the team's confidence has also been raised to a new height.

Next, they will go to Boston to continue the away game. As long as they win two games, they will be able to advance to the finals with their heads held high!
……

"Coach Rivers, in this game, you lost again, and you lost the game by a big score. Do you have anything to express about this?"

After the game, the reporter interviewed the coach of the Green Army.

The camera shines on Rivers' face, and it can be seen that his complexion is very gloomy.

Facing this question, he thought for a while, and then slowly replied: "I'm in a terrible mood right now."

"You know how anxious I was when I saw the point difference being gradually opened up by them."

"The Cavaliers are a very young and strong team. They have too many outstanding young people, such as Curry, George and so on."

"Now I don't envy the Heat with the Big Three, but I start to envy the Cavaliers."

"They've had such a good first year of rebuilding that they're going to be the best team in the league for a year, if not a few years."

"As you can see, we are a team that has won championships, but in front of them, we seem to be completely overwhelmed."

"I admit that there is an age problem, but it is not the most important reason for losing."

"The team's bigger problem is defense. We tried various defensive strategies, but in the end they all cracked them one by one..."

Having said this, Rivers shook his head helplessly, he had never felt so powerless before.

Seeing this, the reporter immediately changed the topic: "We all know that the Celtics are a strong team."

"You have won the championship and entered the Eastern Conference Finals this year. This is the best proof."

"In the next game, you will return to the home court. You have created many surprises. I believe the series will not end here!"

Hearing this, Rivers nodded with a forced smile: "You're right, until the last moment, God knows what will happen next."

"Even if the opponent is strong, we will not give up. The series is still going on. It is not so easy for the Cavaliers to win us."

……

A day later, the second game of the Western Conference Finals started in Dallas.

'German Chariot' Dirk Nowitzki is still in a brave state, scoring nine points in the first quarter to help the team take the lead.

Throughout the first half, they were suppressing the Thunder, and victory seemed to be beckoning to them.

But when the game entered the second half, the situation changed suddenly.

Under the leadership of Kevin Durant, the Thunder launched a counterattack climax and recovered the score in one fell swoop.

And when the two teams entered the rotation stage, James Harden on the bench stood up.

He frequently used breakthroughs to cause damage, and almost single-handedly killed the Mavericks' second team, establishing a good advantage for the Thunder.

At the moment of the decisive battle, the two teams also played extremely fiercely, but in the end the Thunder still relied on the advantage established by James Harden to win the game and tie the big score of the Western Conference Finals to 1:1!

"Don't look at it, the finals must be the Cavaliers and the Thunder."

"The Mavericks can't stand with the driver alone. Kidd and the others are old, just like the Celtics."

"I'm also bullish on the Cavaliers and Thunder..."

At this point in the division finals, the fans have already started talking about the finals.

In the eyes of most fans, the Cavaliers' victory over the Celtics is inevitable, but it is only a matter of time, and the Mavericks will eventually lose to the Thunder.
