NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Chapter 233 Preparing for the Finals

"Hiss! OMG!"

"Our opponent is really the Mavericks! This guy Long Rui... was fooled by him again..."

Curry lay in bed, watching Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals.

With Westbrook missing the shot, the game has completely lost its suspense.

The final whistle sounded and the score was frozen.

96:100
With a 4 lead, the Mavericks ended the positive round series at home.

They played a wonderful performance when they were looked down upon by the outside world, especially the 'German Chariot' Nuo Tianwang, his performance on the field was impeccable.

At this moment, many Cavaliers players are watching the game, and many people are surprised by this result.

They were not only surprised that the Mavericks won the series with an absolute advantage of 4:1, but also surprised that everything was exactly as Long Rui expected.

In fact, this is not the first time Long Rui has made a prediction. Almost all of the previous predictions have come true. This is the most incredible thing.

However, they didn't think too much about it, they all thought it was just a coincidence, and Long Rui's prediction had always been very lucky.

"Long Rui, you are still the best, our opponent is the Mavericks!"

Curry dialed Long Rui's cell phone and spoke.

Regarding this, Long Rui smiled slightly: "I said it a long time ago, but you just don't believe it, believe it now!"

Hearing Long Rui's smug tone, Curry curled his lips: "It's just luck, don't tell me you have the ability to predict the future, that's absolutely impossible!"

"By the way, have you found a way to deal with the Mavericks?"

Curry got down to business, which is what he was calling for.

After all, Long Rui has been studying the tactics of the Mavericks from the very beginning, so he must have made some preparations now.

"Of course, you don't have to worry about these."

"By the way, see you at the training ground tomorrow, we will conduct targeted training."

As soon as the words fell, Long Rui hung up the phone.

He took a deep breath, lay quietly on the sofa, and constantly evolved tactics against the Mavericks in his mind.

In the regular season of this season, they have played against the Mavericks twice. Both sides won one game each, and no one got cheap.

The strongest point of the Mavericks must be Nowitzki, but their other points are also not weak.

Their cooperation with each other is very proficient. Although it is not as good as the Celtics, it will not be weak.

Compared with the Big Three of the Celtics, the Mavericks' lineup is relatively young. Although many people have also reached the stage of decline, they can still show their own style on the court.

Facing such a team, you must be vigilant at all times.

Once a link is not handled well, it is very likely that the opponent will seize the opportunity and thus launch a wave of offense.

According to the normal historical trajectory, it should be the Heat against the Mavericks.

In terms of talent, the Heat have an absolute advantage. The Mavericks were also the one that was looked down upon back then, but in the end they defeated the Heat and won the glittering O'Brien Cup in one fell swoop.

After that finals, James was burdened with many bad remarks, and there were countless mockers.

In terms of strength, that Heat team has every chance to win the championship, but James' abnormal performance in the finals made them miss the chance to win the championship.

And this is why most people spray James.

However, in Long Rui's view, this is just a part of it. The Heat made a lot of mistakes in the finals that year, not all of which were James' fault.

First of all, the team did not have a real core, and the 'Janeway' duo always had one of them outside the offense, which made them play very awkwardly.

Secondly, they more or less have the idea of ​​​​underestimating their opponents psychologically, because they were too strong back then, and they did not take any opponents seriously, especially the old Mavericks.

And the current Cavaliers have a lot in common with the Heat that season.

They also have good talents and high hopes, but they don't have the problems that the Heat had back then.

The core of the Cavaliers is clear, that is, Long Rui. As long as he is on the court, the team will always maintain an absolutely serious attitude, because no one dares to violate his request.

What they have to do is to cooperate well every time, avoid mistakes as much as possible, and devote themselves to the defensive end. As long as they do this well, Long Rui will have enough confidence to win the finals!
The next day, the players of the Cavaliers went to the training hall to gather early and started training according to Long Rui's arrangement.

They still have a full four days to prepare. On the fifth day, they will sit at home to meet the challenge of the Mavericks.

For the Cavaliers, four days is completely enough to prepare for the battle, and their physical fitness will almost always return to their best condition.

"Everyone, hurry up and train, don't relax."

Byron Scott has been pushing, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the most relaxed head coach in the league, because most of his work has been replaced by Long Rui...

Meanwhile, inside the Dallas Mavericks' practice facility.

Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle is also training the team. After they defeated the Thunder, they did not stop for a moment and immediately put into training, which shows how much they attach importance to the Cavaliers.

"Retreat faster, don't be slow."

"Attack more decisively, pass when it is time to pass, and don't hesitate when the opportunity arises."

Carlisle kept shouting from the sidelines.

At this time, they are conducting an intra-team match, practicing tactics against the Cavaliers.

……

"The opponent of the Cavaliers is the Mavericks, so is it still necessary to fight? With the strength of the Cavaliers, it is not enough to beat them!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect the Thunder to be killed. I really want to give the championship to the Cavaliers for nothing..."

"That's not necessarily the case. The Mavericks are also very strong. Nowitzki's performance in the playoffs is really incomprehensible. Who can guard him in the Cavaliers?"

"Rely on Yi Jianlian or Varejao?"

"I'm afraid neither of these two can be defended. Although Yi Jianlian is not bad, he is not enough to deal with Nuo Tianwang."

"Cut! So what? Could they be able to guard Long Rui?"

"Yes, and there are Paul George and Stephen Curry, how can the Mavericks guard them?"

During the few days of waiting, the fans would argue about the strength of the two teams every day. It can be seen that most fans still support the Cavaliers.

The four days were quietly spent in training. Tomorrow is the first match of the finals. Long Rui felt a little nervous.

After all, this is the first time in his career that he entered the finals. Everything seemed so dreamlike, but now it really happened to him.
