NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

The 15-minute intermission ended, and the two sides entered the second half of the contest.

As soon as the third quarter came up, 'Jets' Terry shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line, and the basketball hit again!
After the goal was scored, the home fans who had been silent for a long time suddenly shouted.

They started cheering for the Mavericks with shouts.

The next possession, the Mavericks successfully completed a defense, they pushed back, and it was Terry, who made a floater on the move.

Counting the three-pointer at the end of the second quarter, he has scored 8 points in a row, narrowing the score to 11 points for the team.

Seeing that the opponent wanted to make a move, Long Rui stepped forward at this time and took over the ball again from Curry.

Outside the three-point line, Long Rui waved his hand, signaling his teammates to pull away, forming a one-on-one situation with Marion again.

In this game, he has scored a lot of points by singles against Marion.

Now that Marion sees that Long Rui wants to play singles, he feels a headache...

In order to defend Long Rui, he tried almost all methods, but no matter how he defended, he couldn't restrain Long Rui.

At this moment, when he faced Long Rui again, he would inevitably have some shadows in his heart.

After observing for a few breaths, Long Rui immediately launched an attack, made two sharp changes of direction in a row, and with extreme speed, he immediately passed Marion.

Marion's face darkened, and at the moment Long Rui broke through, in order to defend him, he was forced to foul and reached out to pull Long Rui's jersey.

After Long Rui felt the pulling force behind his back, he immediately joined the ball and shot, and at the same time the referee's whistle sounded.

After drawing an arc in the air, the basketball fell into the basket precisely, which made Marion's complexion even uglier.

However, after discussing with the three referees, they judged the goal as an invalid goal, because Long Rui combined the ball after Marion committed a foul.

After hearing the penalty, Marion breathed a sigh of relief, and his complexion eased a lot.

Subsequently, the Cavaliers sent a sideline kick, and Long Rui reorganized the offense.

This time, he did not choose singles again, but organized his teammates to make tactical moves.

After several penetrations, Yi Jianlian got a chance and Long Rui immediately passed the ball.

After Dirk Nowitzki was restrained by Varejao, he was not able to defend in time. When he rushed to Yi Jianlian, the basketball had already been thrown.

The ball was successfully thrown in with a soft touch. At this point in the game, Yi Jianlian made all three shots and maintained a [-]% hit rate. Although he did not take many shots, his efficiency was extremely high.

Except for the first game of the finals, Yi Jianlian played well in the following games. Although he couldn't compare with a superstar player like Nowitzki, he also made a lot of contributions to the team.

If he didn't carry him inside, Nowitzki might be even crazier.

The third quarter of the game has been carried on to the last moment, and the Mavericks have never been able to further narrow the score.

On the sidelines, Coach Carlisle is also very anxious, but he can't do anything anymore, and the next thing is to rely on the players to perform by themselves.

With Kidd missing a jumper, the third quarter ended and the Cavaliers still held a 13-point lead.

"The Mavericks played perfectly in the third quarter, but even under such circumstances, they still failed to narrow the score further."

"Now the Cavaliers will enter the final quarter with a 13-point advantage, which is not a good thing for the Mavericks."

"With the current state of the Cavaliers, as long as there is no sudden power outage, the Mavericks have almost no hope of making a comeback."

Filled with serious analysis.

"That's right, this is the best game the Cavaliers have played since the Finals."

"When Long Rui, Curry and George play well at the same time, the Cavaliers are almost incomprehensible on the offensive end."

"Especially when the three of them are on the court at the same time, Long Rui and George can continue to attack, and Curry is the most stable turret on the outside."

"The Mavericks can't stop the Cavaliers' offense unless they do it internally and externally."

"The same is true in the fourth quarter. As long as the Cavaliers play normally, the Mavericks have no possibility of reversal."

Zhang Weiping's last sentence is very decisive, but it is the truth.

The Cavaliers with a complete lineup are stronger than the Mavericks on paper. There is no doubt about this, so he said such words.

Soon, the fourth quarter started.

The Mavericks began to take the initiative to speed up the offensive rhythm. The 13-point difference was not too big, but it was not too small. It was within the scope of chasing, but it was not so easy to catch up.

But the Mavericks are a team accustomed to playing positional offense, so their offensive rhythm is slow, and now they are in urgent need of chasing points, so they have to be forced to speed up the pace.

Fast-paced offense is not their strong suit, and the first shot ended with a strike.

And this kind of rhythm is exactly what the Cavaliers like. They are faster than they are, but they are not afraid of any opponent.

After Yi Jianlian received the rebound, Long Rui quickly launched a counterattack!
Curry and George were like his left and right guards. They rushed towards the frontcourt together with Long Rui, and immediately formed a three-on-two situation.

Long Rui first passed the ball to Curry on the left, and Curry threw the ball to the basket.

At this time, George on the right jumped high, and after receiving a pass from Curry, everyone thought he was going to catch a dunk.

But at the next breath, George flicked the ball lightly and redirected it to Long Rui's direction.

Seeing that George was so humble, Long Rui was not polite, and immediately accepted the 'big gift'!
He took off from the free throw line with one step, and after receiving the ball, he made a crotch change, and then dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!

"This dunk! It's a show!"

Yang Yi suddenly exclaimed.

All the Cavaliers fans who watched this ball shouted wonderful!

The Mavericks obviously haven't realized their mistake and continued their fast-paced offense, but under such a rhythm, they played very chaotically, and even made low-level mistakes.

The Cavaliers will not let go of such an opportunity. They seize the opponent's mistakes and convert them into points.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Mavericks not only failed to narrow the score, but fell behind by more than 20 points.

At this point in the game, the death penalty has been pronounced in advance, and Coach Carlisle called for the money to withdraw in advance.

With the final whistle blowing, the game ended.

118: 96.

In the first game after Paul George's comeback, the Cavaliers welcomed his return with a 22-point victory!

After this battle, the morale of the Cavaliers has been boosted, and they will return to Cleveland with renewed hope to continue the finals!
