NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"Don't worry, play your own rhythm."

Long Rui reminded Paul George on the court.

Paul George nodded, and immediately put himself on the defensive end.

Although the Cavaliers' offense failed to score this time, they worked very hard on the defensive end.

Compared with the starting lineup, the defensive enthusiasm of the Cavaliers' bench players seems to be stronger.

Every player tries to show their best side on the field. Although they are just substitutes, they will go all out as long as they have the opportunity to play. This is their attitude towards the game.

Jason Terry holds the ball on the outside, and Jeremy Lin is still standing in front of him.

"You also want to guard against me?"

"Wait to be blown up!"

The successful attack before made Terry full of confidence. He believed that he could play with the stunned young man in front of him.

Terry signaled his teammates to pull away, wanting to have a one-on-one singles.

Seeing this, Marion and others also cooperated very much, because they also fully believed in Terry's personal offensive ability.

In the face of Terry's provocation, Jeremy Lin did not respond a word, but his sharp eyes have shown his defensive attitude.

The next breath, 'Jets' Terry attacked.

A very fancy dribble was displayed, trying to deceive Jeremy Lin's defensive focus.

But after the first lesson, Jeremy Lin didn't hesitate this time. He just opened his arms and stood in front of Terry. No matter what he did, he just remained unmoved.

Jeremy Lin is very aware that he has a height advantage, as long as he stands in front of Terry, he is the best defense.

Seeing that Jeremy Lin was unmoved, Jason Terry was also a little surprised, but he did not give up the attack, but planned to force a breakthrough.

Although Terry is short in stature, he excels in dexterity. He lowers his center of gravity so low that he almost touches the ground and makes a breakthrough towards the left.

However, Jeremy Lin kept up with his footsteps, and kept following him sideways, forcing Terry into the left corner, completely losing his offensive position.

"what are you doing?"

"Pass the ball!"

Mavericks coach Carlisle yelled when he saw this scene.

This roar made Jason Terry wake up like a dream. He played too alone just now, thinking about scoring in front of Jeremy Lin, but completely forgot the existence of his teammates.

But when he calmed down, there were only five seconds left on the attack clock.

And he is in a very bad position now, his passing vision is very narrow, and his stature is not tall, which makes it even more difficult.

In desperation, he aimed at Marion near the free throw line, who seemed to have a good position to catch the ball.

Terry threw the ball without hesitation, but all of this was under the control of the Cavaliers.

Paul George deliberately sold an opening to guide Terry to pass the ball to Marion, and he had already ambushed by the side, ready to steal at any time.

At the moment when the basketball passed from the left corner, Paul George rushed out of the diagonal stab with a stride, directly blocked Sean Marion, and intercepted Terry's pass.

Seeing this, Jeremy Lin and Davis rushed to the front court immediately, and Paul George held the ball and pushed back.

The Mavericks couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm if they wanted to retreat, so they could only watch George perform a flying dunk!

After being chased for 7 points in a row, the Cavaliers finally responded, and the home fans also became restless!

"Good shot! You can see the tough defensive attitude of the Cavaliers' bench lineup."

"With the main players off the pitch, they withstood the pressure."

"Defense is an essential quality of a championship team, and it is also the most basic foundation. The Cavaliers obviously already have this quality. Although they are a team that has been rebuilt this season, they have already shown the appearance of a champion! "

Full of praise.

In the next few rounds, both teams began to be cautious, their defensive attitudes were all established, and their offensive end was sluggish.

During this period of time, although the success rate of the two teams' offense was not high, the game was exciting to watch, because they almost achieved the ultimate defense.

The Mavericks completed a block here, and the Cavaliers immediately responded with a steal.

When the second quarter entered the last 3 minutes, the two teams entered the timeout period.

After this timeout, the two sides will replace all the starting players and enter the competition at the last moment of the first half.

Now the Cavaliers still maintain a 3-point lead. The bench lineup led by Paul George withstood the pressure and completed their tasks excellently. The next time will be handed over to Long Rui.

"Paul George is really getting more and more mature. His progress this season is obvious to all, and he even has the ability to play alone."

"These three young men of the Cavaliers are really amazing. It can be said that the future is promising. If they can win the championship this year, it will be of great help to their growth and will also establish more for them. confidence."

"You must know that they are still very young and have huge room for improvement. When they are fully grown, it is hard to imagine how strong this Cavaliers team will be!"

Zhang Weiping said excitedly.

The timeout ended, and the two sides entered the final 3-minute contest.

The Mavericks throw a throw-in, Kidd regains control of the ball, and Nowitzki returns to the field.

With the two of them there, the Mavericks' offense will be guaranteed.

Inside, Nowitzki and Chandler cooperated with each other, and Kidd successfully passed the ball in with a lob.

When two big men are on the court at the same time, the Mavericks' inside strength is quite strong.

Varejao and Yi Jianlian struggled to support, but it was still difficult to stop the joint attack of the opposite twin towers.

Chandler made a screen for Nowitzki, Varejao was forced to pull out to defend, and Chandler took advantage of the trend to the basket.

At this moment, Nowitzki made a false pass, and Chandler caught the ball and dunked easily!
Looking back, in the Cavaliers' offense, Long Rui directly launched an attack with the ball. After the break, he began to show a strong desire to attack.

Kidd tried his best to defend, but he still couldn't stop Long Rui's nimble breakthrough.

After rushing into the inside, facing the twin towers under the basket, Long Rui did not slow down at all. He planned to challenge!
This move also completely angered Chandler, the 'Champion of Boxing', and Long Rui didn't think he would take them seriously.

I saw Chandler's long arms raised high, ready to block the cover at any time, as long as Long Rui dared to make a move, he would immediately put on the big hat!

However, Long Rui didn't care about it, even if there was a tiger ahead, he would go forward without hesitation!
