NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers finally found a chance to score after the main force of the Mavericks went off the court.

Under Curry's scheduling, Yi Jianlian finally made some achievements in the interior and successfully scored two goals.

Up to now in this game, Yi Jianlian has been restricted by the opponent's twin towers, and he has not played his own form on the offensive end.

So far in the playoffs, he has averaged 15.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, which is quite good data.

When this game is played until now, he personally only scored 8 points, 4 of which were scored just now, which shows how severely restricted he is.

This was the most helpless game Yi Jianlian played. He was the inside guarantee of the Cavaliers, but under the pressure of the opponent's twin towers, he couldn't play his own form at all.

Nowitzki and Chandler are both very tough physically, and Yi Jianlian can't get any advantage from them.

As for Varejao, he was originally a blue-collar insider, and he can't be expected to do much.

In the pre-match analysis, the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams were mentioned.

At this time, the Mavericks' inside advantage was fully revealed, but the Cavaliers' outside advantage suddenly disappeared due to the injuries of Long Rui and George...

As far as this game is concerned, the Cavaliers have no advantage. In the eyes of the outside world, they have lost the possibility of winning.

After three quarters.

82:75
The Mavericks will enter the final quarter with a 7-point lead.

"At this point in the game, for Cavaliers fans, there are only two words to describe it, disappointment."

"It's not the performance of the Cavaliers that disappointed the fans, but the process."

"And under the disappointment, there is also a strong resentment."

"The Cavaliers have experienced too much this season. The departure of James once made the fans of Kecheng despair. Later, the arrival of Long Rui made the Cavaliers see the future."

"At that time, many fans pinned their hopes on Long Rui, hoping that he could lead the Cavaliers to unprecedented heights in the future."

"However, no one thought that after the trade, the Cavaliers rose rapidly with this group of young players and entered the finals in one fell swoop."

"When the fans in this city stepped into this arena with full of enthusiasm, they saw the process they least wanted to see."

Said brimming with emotion.

Although he is not a fan of Kecheng, but now in this arena, he can clearly feel the emotions of these fans.

"Maybe this year's finals are destined to be regrettable, but I believe this may not be a bad thing for the young Cavaliers."

"After the experience of the playoffs, I believe they have also grown in it. Next season, and even in the next few years, they will be one of the most anticipated teams."

"Although the game may have lost its suspense, it can be seen at the end of the third quarter that the Cavaliers did not give up."

"Curry is still leading the team to chase points tenaciously. I think it is very good to be able to do this. At least their spirit of not giving up will always inspire the fans."

Zhang Weiping also agreed.

Soon, the intermission ended, and the two sides entered the last quarter of the game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks continued to use the rotation, while the Cavaliers still maintained the previous lineup.

Curry, Yi Jianlian and others have already played a full quarter of the game. This period should have been their rest time, but no one is willing to rest.

They will not give up the game, not to mention that Long Rui said during the intermission that he will come back.

The Mavericks' second unit has seen a marked decline in offensive efficiency, but their defense has been unambiguous.

Coach Carlisle's emphasis on defense has always been in the first place, which is also the biggest reliance on the Mavericks' ability to enter the finals.

Curry led the Cavaliers to chase points hard under the opponent's tough defense.

But no matter how hard he tried, the point difference remained at about 5 points, and could not be further narrowed.

When the fourth quarter lasted more than three minutes, the Mavericks took advantage of a dead ball to replace all the main players and wanted to accept the game.

Huge pressure loomed, and the Cavaliers had already been pushed to the edge of a cliff. If they took another step back, they would fall into an endless abyss.

However, at this moment, at the originally silent scene, someone suddenly called Long Rui's name.

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to the player tunnel, and saw a strong figure standing at the tunnel entrance, it was Long Rui who had disappeared for more than a quarter!
"Long Rui! Long Rui!"

When the fans saw Long Rui, they were stunned for a few breaths, and then there was a deafening call, and the whole arena immediately boiled.

"Brother Long!"

Ran Ruoxue was also agitated, but when she saw Long Rui's wrapped thick fingers, she was still very worried.

"It's Long Rui!"

"Long Rui is back!"

Yang Yi suddenly exclaimed.

"No wonder Coach Scott looks into the player tunnel from time to time. It turns out that he is not waiting for George, but for Long Rui!"

Zhang Weiping also quickly said, after all, he was old, even though he was very excited inside, he didn't show it so obviously like Yang Yi!
Afterwards, Long Rui walked towards the Cavaliers' bench under the gaze of the audience.

"You are finally back!"

Scott and the others said excitedly.

"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting!"

The corners of Long Rui's mouth raised slightly, he still looked so calm.

When Curry and others saw Long Rui, they breathed a sigh of relief, but the game was still going on, and now it was the Cavaliers' attack.

Long Rui's return boosted the confidence of the Cavaliers.

Curry took the ball across the half court, pulled it up in front of Kidd and shot!

'Swish'!
Accurate three-pointer!
After throwing the ball, Curry looked at Long Rui, and he welcomed Long Rui's return in this way!

Next, when the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki went outside to catch the ball, and also responded with a three-pointer.

He turned his head to look at Long Rui, his eyes were full of anticipation.

As an opponent, he naturally hopes to beat the Cavaliers, but he does not want to win in an unfair way.

The return of Long Rui will add a lot of excitement to the finals, even if he played with an injury.

When it came to the Cavaliers' offensive round, Coach Scott called a timeout again. Everyone knew that after this timeout, Long Rui would return to the game!
"Great! Rarity is coming back!"

"Rarity come on, beat 'em!"

"Brother Long is awesome! What's wrong with letting them have two fingers?"

Fans far away in China also aroused great anticipation!
