NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Even the Cavaliers coach Byron Scott himself did not expect that such a lineup unexpectedly broke out with such a strong fighting spirit.

On the bench, Curry and others watched their teammates fight tenaciously on the court, and they couldn't help feeling guilty in their hearts.

As starters, they showed no fighting spirit on the field. Looking at these teammates again, they felt ashamed.

"Coach, we were wrong..."

Curry stood up suddenly and apologized to Scott with an apologetic face.

Hearing this, Scott took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Let's all prepare first, and we will play in 2 minutes."

Halfway through the third quarter, the Mavericks failed to further open the score, and the point difference remained within 15 points.

During this period of time, Long Rui led a group of substitutes and performed well, keeping the score tight.

The game entered the first official timeout of the second half. After the timeout, the Cavaliers returned to the starting lineup.

"Why did you change again?"

"That's right, how well these substitutes played, much better than the starting performance."

"It's finally getting better. Scott's coaching ability is really not flattering, and he always makes random substitutions."

Cavaliers personnel replacement, once again caused dissatisfaction among the fans.

However, after Curry and others returned to the court, they swept away the previous decline and slapped those fans in the face.

Outside the three-point line, Curry first made a pass from Long Rui, and in the next round, he dribbled the ball again.

Two consecutive three-pointers immediately brought the score back to single digits.

"Good shot!"

"Finally played out!"

"Wouldn't it be better to fight this early? I really don't understand, I have to start getting serious when I'm behind."

The suspense of the game rose again, and the Mavericks hurriedly called a timeout to make adjustments.

Subsequently, the two sides began to fall into a tug-of-war, but the Cavaliers' scoring momentum became more and more intense.

Curry turned into a three-point machine and soon hit another three-pointer.

In less than 4 minutes, the Cavaliers played a wave of offensive climax, narrowing the point difference to five points in one fell swoop.

So the Mavericks held their ground late in the third quarter, and their experience helped them get back on track.

Nowitzki is like a needle for the sea. Whenever the team encounters a crisis, he can always stand up and score at critical moments.

After three quarters, the Mavericks led by 7 points.

After the intermission, the game entered the final contest.

The Cavaliers maintained the crazy offensive in the third quarter and played an efficient offense again at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Long Rui, Curry, Yi Jianlian and others all performed well.

With Long Rui's fadeaway jumper, the Cavaliers finally tied the score!

"I'm going! I'm chasing it back!"

"Brother Long is mighty!"

"Rarity is amazing!"

Fans far away in China immediately became excited after seeing Long Rui's performance.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, the Mavericks also felt the tremendous pressure.

At the most critical moment of the game, whoever can lead by two goals can control the initiative of the game.

The defensive intensity on both sides was raised, and the sound of iron strikes on the field continued to sound.

"Shh!"

With the sound of a basketball entering the net, the game broke the deadlock.

The one who scored the key goal was the big blond man from Germany, Dirk Nowitzki!

The more critical the moment, the more the big heart attribute of Nuo Tianwang can be reflected.

But Long Rui was not to be outdone, and then he responded with his own singles.

In the last minute of the game, the difference between the two teams was only one point. The Mavericks took the lead temporarily, but the ball was in the hands of the Cavaliers.

Long Rui advanced with the ball. He observed the positioning of his teammates, and then called Yi Jianlian to make a cover.

By covering him, he successfully broke into the inside, but the Mavericks' defense shrank quickly, and immediately double-teamed him.

Long Rui wanted to pass the ball to Curry on the outside, but the moment he passed the ball, Kidd, the 'old demon', had already ambushed him.

Kidd suddenly jumped out from the side, cut off Long Rui's pass, and then quickly launched a counterattack.

'Jet' Terry reacted very quickly. At the moment Kidd made a steal, he had already rushed towards the frontcourt.

Seeing this, Kidd immediately threw the ball out, and after receiving the ball, Terry scored 2 points with an easy layup.

This crucial mistake made Long Rui's heart twitch violently. He clenched his teeth, looking very annoyed.

"Don't worry, we still have time."

On the sidelines, Coach Scott yelled at Long Rui.

The Cavaliers sent the baseline ball, and Long Rui held the ball for halftime again. He looked up at the game time, and there were 28 seconds left.

This time is not rich, if this attack fails, then they will be extremely passive.

Outside the three-point line, Long Rui hesitated, unable to choose between two points and three points.

"Long Rui, take a gamble."

Curry on the side saw Long Rui's psychology and immediately reminded him.

Hearing this, Long Rui's eyes were fixed, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

Facing Marion's defense, he continuously feinted his crotch, and then suddenly took a step back and shot a jumper!

Marion hadn't thought of this ball at all, so when Long Rui shot, he didn't make any interference.

The trajectory of the basketball flying to the basket is very positive, and the arc looks very good!
next breath...

"Kangdang..."

There was a sound of iron striking, and the basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced out. Long Rui's shot was still a little weaker.

Chandler got stuck at the basket and protected the defensive rebound.

Yi Jianlian immediately fouled him and sent Chandler to the free throw line.

At the free throw line, Chandler withstood the pressure and made one of two free throws, thus ending the game.

With the final seconds running out, the half-time whistle blew.

It was another fierce battle, but for the Cavaliers, the ending is always so regrettable.

4 points, another 4 points, last game, they lost 4 points at the end, this game is the same.

The big score in the finals came to 1:3, and the Cavaliers were already standing on the edge of a cliff with no way out.

The Mavericks only need to win one game in the next game, and they can win the coveted O'Brien Cup as they wish.

"No, it's completely gone now."

"Oh... we have to wait for the next season..."

After losing the crucial G4, the words of insulting the Cavaliers came overwhelming.

In the midst of these insults, Long Rui received the best news.

"Brother Long! George's injury is almost fine. He has already booked a plane ticket and should be able to arrive tomorrow!"

The news from Ran Ruoxue cheered Long Rui up.

Soon he notified the team of the news. When his teammates learned that George was about to come back, they seemed to see a little hope from despair!
