NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

During halftime, the Cavaliers locker room.

"How is Long Rui's injury?"

Head coach Byron Scott asked solemnly.

A team doctor frowned: "There are two closed fractures in the finger, and it will take 4-6 weeks to heal."

"4-6 weeks?"

Hearing this answer, Scott felt as if he had been poured with a basin of ice water, cooling him from head to toe.

Now it's the finals, and Long Rui's importance to the team goes without saying, if he can't play, then the combat effectiveness of the Cavaliers will be greatly reduced.

What Long Rui plays is not just a scorer, he is also the commander of the team and needs to take on the important task of organizing the offense.

Although Curry can also take on the task of organizing the team, he is not as good as Long Rui after all.

"Is it possible to go faster?"

Scott also asked a little unwillingly, even though he knew that this kind of injury would not recover soon.

The team doctor shook his head: "This is already the shortest time, maybe it will be longer..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell into silence.

Curry, George and others looked at Long Rui's injured finger. The team doctor had already done emergency treatment for him and fixed the two fractured fingers together. They were wrapped with thick bandages and looked bloated. .

Looking at the silent teammates around him, Long Rui suddenly smiled and said, "Are you all right? We are still ahead of our opponents, why are you all so sad?"

"Those who didn't know thought we lost the game."

"Come on, it's just a broken finger. As long as I can run and jump, I can still play!"

Long Rui's words immediately raised everyone's spirits.

"Long Rui, what did you say?"

Coach Scott thought he had heard it wrong, and he couldn't believe his ears.

"I said I can still play in the second half, it's not that I hurt my foot."

Long Rui seemed very calm. Although the injury to his finger would affect his shooting and his shooting percentage might decrease, it did not prevent him from organizing the team's offense.

The guy in Los Angeles, after suffering a dislocation on the court, snapped his finger back abruptly.

Although Long Rui's injury was more serious than Kobe's, he felt that he could continue to complete the game.

"Long Rui, you... are you serious?"

Scott looked at him in disbelief.

"Of course, this is the battlefield of the finals, not a place for joking, I will stand with you."

Long Rui's tone was full of firmness, and the injury to his finger could not stop his desire for the championship.

……

"I don't know what happened to Long Rui's injury. This is the first game of the finals, but there is a scene that no one wants to see."

"If Long Rui really can't play, then the probability of the Cavaliers winning the championship will be greatly reduced."

"After all, Long Rui is really important to the Cavaliers. It's like the Mavericks lacking Nowitzki and Kidd."

"Just imagine what kind of team the Mavericks would be without Kidd and Nowitzki. They might not even make the playoffs."

As a fan of Long Rui, Zhang Weiping was also very worried about his injury.

"At the end of the halftime game, although the Cavaliers have a double-digit lead, it was because Long Rui's injury affected the performance of the Mavericks, which established this advantage."

"For an experienced team like the Mavericks, he will not always be in such a free state. I believe that after the adjustment of the intermission, they will regain their proper state in the second half."

"By that time, will the Cavaliers without Long Rui still be able to withstand the counterattack of the Mavericks?"

"In my personal opinion, it may be difficult. Even though the Cavaliers still have Curry and George, two outstanding young players, I don't think these two alone are enough to lead the team to victory."

Yang Yi expressed his opinion, which is also the opinion of most fans.

At this moment, on the big screen above the stadium, the picture of Long Rui leaving the field injured was played back. Many fans at the scene prayed for Long Rui with their palms together, hoping that his injury would not be too serious.

"I hope Rarity is okay..."

"It looks so serious that it may not be possible to fight."

"Alas... but it happened to be injured at this most critical time..."

"Chandler, I ri you fairy banban!"

"Chandler, you bastard!"

……

The 15-minute intermission is over and the second half of the game will begin.

When the players from both sides returned to the court, all the Cavaliers fans on the scene looked in the direction of the player tunnel, expecting Long Rui's appearance.

"Brother Long..."

Ran Ruoxue muttered in her heart, and she looked nervously at the entrance of the passage.

The first to come out was Curry, followed by George and Yi Jianlian, and the last one was head coach Scott.

Seeing this, all the fans felt disappointed, they didn't see Long Rui in the end.

When everyone looked away and looked at the playing field, Ran Ruoxue was still looking in that direction, her expression looked very worried.

Long Rui was injured, she didn't even have the mind to watch the game, she only thought about Long Rui's injury.

A moment later, the game whistle sounded, and the second half of the game officially started.

The lineups of the two teams have not changed. The Mavericks are still the starting five tigers, and the Cavaliers still let Paul George replace Long Rui.

The first offense of the second half was initiated by the Cavaliers.

After losing Long Rui, Curry naturally became the team's commander, taking on the heavy responsibility of organizing the offense.

Now that the Cavaliers hold a double-digit lead, Curry is also deliberately suppressing the offensive rhythm to ensure the success rate of each attack.

He kept signaling his teammates to move. After a few interspersed, Paul George found a chance on the right side, and Curry passed the ball directly.

George made a mid-range jumper, but unfortunately the ball missed slightly, and after bouncing twice on the basket, it still failed to enter the frame.

After Nowitzki received the rebound, the Mavericks launched a counterattack.

After adjustments at halftime, they have regained their form.

'Old demon' Kidd began to play his top organizer's ability, under his organization, the Mavericks played a perfect fit.

Nowitzki and Chandler made a double screen for Marion on the weak side, allowing him to easily break into the inside lane and score two points.

In the next round, they once again blocked the Cavaliers' offense.

Nowitzki performed his unique skill 'Golden Rooster Independence' and hit with one hit, and the point difference was narrowed to single digits.

At this time, in the locker room, Long Rui was watching the game.

Because he decided to play, his fingers need to be further processed and fixed more firmly.
