NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

3:0, this is a number that makes countless Celtics fans feel desperate.

You know, in the long history of the NBA, no team has ever completed a reversal under such circumstances.

Such a big score is equivalent to being sentenced to a 'death sentence'. At the moment of losing, the entire Celtics team fell silent.

After the game, the major media rushed to report, all kinds of words that praised the Cavaliers and belittled the Celtics emerged in an endless stream.

The fourth battle between the two teams will start two days later, but these media have already written articles about the Cavaliers' advancement.

Although this approach seems a bit excessive, but they have always been like this, you can't resist, you can only accept it, because the cheers are always prepared for the strong, and no one will care about the feelings of a loser.

"Hey...the Celtics are finished, the Big Three are old, I think it's time to rebuild."

"It's really disappointing. I thought the Celtics could win at least two games. That's good, they didn't win a game..."

……

After winning the third game of the series, the Cavaliers still did not relax at all, because they planned to send their opponents home directly in the next game.

Therefore, they were back in training on the first day after the game.

And today is also the third game of the Western Conference Finals. In the first two games, the Mavericks and the Thunder tied 1:1.

This battle will be carried out at the Thunder's home court, which is not a small challenge for the Mavericks.

In fact, the matchup between these two pairs is very similar to the Eastern Conference finals. The Mavericks are also an experienced team. In contrast, the Thunder are very young.

This is exactly the same as the situation of the Cavaliers and Celtics. Therefore, many fans are also on the side of the younger Thunder.

In the evening, after a day of training, the Cavaliers returned to the hotel where they stayed.

After Long Rui took a shower, he lay on the bed and watched the game.

While watching, he studied various tactics of the Mavericks. The game was very intense, and the two sides fought extremely fiercely on the defensive end.

Under the high-intensity confrontation, "German Chariot" Nowlski's shooting rate was limited very low. Compared with the previous two games, his performance this time can only be said to be very average.

After the whole game, Nowitzki only scored 18 points, but even so, they finally won the game by 6 points.

The reason is that the Thunder team played even worse under the fierce confrontation. Only two players scored in double figures in the whole game.

The Thunder's junior Durant scored 24 points, and the second junior Westbrook scored 30 points. The two contributed more than half of the team's points.

As for the third junior James Harden, after his excellent performance in the last game, his performance in this game was a disaster. He only scored 7 points in the game. This is the biggest reason for the Thunder's loss.

As for the Mavericks, although Nuo Tianwang did not perform well, his teammates were very strong. Four players scored in double figures throughout the game and won the game together, taking a 2:1 lead.

After watching the game, Long Rui turned off the computer, slowly closed his eyes, and kept thinking about the Mavericks' cooperation in his mind.

……

The next day, Long Rui woke up early, and after doing some preparatory work, he went to the training hall with his teammates again to start warm-up training in advance.

Today is the fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals. For them, this is a contest that is inevitable.

The intensity of the playoffs is very high, and the earlier promotion can get more rest time.

Although they are a relatively young team, the tight schedule and successive battles still make them feel exhausted.

"I hope tonight will be smoother. It turns out that the road to the finals is so tiring..."

Curry was practicing three-pointers while talking.

"Okay! You are completely duplicity! Now how many people envy us for getting to this point, you should be content!"

"Since you want the championship trophy, you must pay more than others."

Long Rui responded with a smile.

The training before the game is almost all shooting, so that I can maintain an excellent feel, and then do some stretching to stretch all parts of the body and reduce the probability of injury.

When the time came to [-]:[-] p.m., the North Shore Garden Arena was full again.

In today's battle, the Celtics have nowhere to go. If they can't win, they will only be eliminated.

"Coach Rivers, this is an extremely critical game for you. Do you have the belief that you must win?"

Celtics coach Doug Rivers is being interviewed before the game.

When the reporter asked this question, Rivers hesitated, and then he said in a solemn tone: "No matter what, we will go all out."

"In the first three games, we actually had a chance to win, but we couldn't grasp it."

"What I want to say is that although the Cavaliers are strong, they are not invincible. I believe in my players."

After a brief warm-up before the game, the game officially started.

The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the Cavaliers won the first wave of offense.

Long Rui took the ball across the half court, while his teammates quickly pulled away, handing over the first attack to the team leader.

According to the Celtics' defensive practice, Rondo was responsible for defending Long Rui at the beginning of the game, but today he was directly replaced by Paul Pierce.

Compared with Rondo, Pierce's physical condition is the most suitable player to defend Long Rui.

The reason why he was not used to defend Long Rui before was because of Pierce's physical fitness.

Coach Rivers wants Pierce to devote more energy to offense, but now it's time to do it. Defense Long Rui is also a request made by Pierce on his own initiative.

Facing Pierce's defense, Long Rui immediately launched an attack without saying a word.

After continuous feinting of his crotch, he suddenly made a sharp change of direction in front of his body. With the rhythmic setback, he directly broke through Pierce's defense.

Long Rui's feet moved so fast that Pierce felt like he was facing 'The Flash' Wade.

After being passed by Long Rui, he did not give up, but chased after him with all his strength.

Garnett, who was on the inside line, also came over in time to make up the defense, and the two immediately formed a flanking attack on Long Rui.

There was no panic on Long Rui's face. Looking around, he caught a glimpse of Yi Jianlian who was emptied on the left, and took the ball out.

Catch the ball, jump shot!
Yi Jianlian made a mid-range shot and hit the basketball steadily, helping the Cavaliers to take the lead and score first!

Looking back, the Celtics' offense.

Rajon Rondo kicks off his playmaking performance.

After Ganetra went to the outside and made a screen with Pierce, he immediately went down to attract two people to defend.

Pierce took the opportunity to break through and took away Curry who was in charge of defending Ray Allen.

Immediately afterwards, he passed the ball without looking at anyone, and sent the ball to Ray Allen, who was completely open, and assisted the latter to make a three-pointer!
