NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

On June 6, US time, Game 14 of the NBA Finals kicked off.

Cleveland became lively again, and the fans entered the arena enthusiastically.

Decades of championships have made fans in this city eager to win a championship trophy, and now is their best time to chase.

After some opening remarks, players from both sides began to appear.

At the entrance of the home team, all the fans' eyes gathered. Ran Ruoxue was sitting in her exclusive seat, also looking forward to Long Rui's appearance.

The first to rush out of the tunnel was the newly injured Paul George, followed by Stephen Curry.

As the leader of the team, Long Rui has always played in the finale.

Ten seconds later, Long Rui's figure finally appeared in everyone's sight.

The moment he appeared on the stage, the entire arena erupted instantly!
"Long Rui! Long Rui!"

The long-lost home chants sounded at this moment.

When Long Rui once again enjoyed the voices of the audience, a long-lost feeling came from his heart.

Looking back now, he still feels a little scared.

Therefore, the previous three games were all played in Dallas. Under such pressure, they endured it with difficulty.

If they lost the last game, they would lose the championship directly.

But although they got a respite and brought the game back to the home court, they still can't take it lightly. After all, the Mavericks still hold the match point, and they don't have any advantage in comparison.

After entering the arena, the two sides began to warm up before the game, while Cavaliers coach Byron Scott accepted the media's pre-match interview.

"Coach Scott, you won a big victory in G5 of the finals. This victory is very important to you. In your opinion, will this be a turning point for you in the finals?"

The reporter asked seriously.

Facing this question, Byron Scott first smiled, and then said with certainty: "Of course!"

"We ushered in the return of Paul George in the last game, and he quickly recovered his form in the game."

"As you can see, when our lineup is complete, we will explode with a very strong force."

"The 22-point victory also built a good confidence for the team. Now that we are back at home, with so many fans supporting us, I believe this will allow us to continue to maintain a good state."

"I think we'll be the first team to make history!"

Byron - Sturt's answer is very confident.

"Then for this game, will you win another big victory?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"You shouldn't ask this question. If I say yes, it will inevitably be considered to belittle the opponent."

"If I said no, it would be like suppressing the momentum of the team."

"I can only tell you that both of our teams are not bad and have a chance to win, but in my opinion, our chances of winning are better."

Scott's answer was professional and didn't offend anyone.

After a while, the game started.

The two sides are still in the normal starting lineup, without any changes, and the Mavericks won the first wave of offensive rights.

Still a familiar opening, Nowitzki immediately got stuck and received a pass from Kidd.

After continuous jacking, he feinted a shot, then quickly turned over and shot a jumper.

The basketball passed over Yi Jianlian's fingertips and fell into the basket precisely!

Stability, as always, is the scariest thing about Nowitzki. This year, he is so strong that he is almost unstoppable.

Even Long Rui had to admit this.

After five games in the finals, the Cavaliers have been trying to find a way to defend Nowitzki, but they tried all the defenses they could, and they all ended in failure.

The only way to make him less effective is to let Chandler go.

Looking back, the Cavaliers' offense, Long Rui, who returned to the home court, naturally did his part.

Singles is his most unsolvable offensive method, and the Mavericks can't limit it either.

Outside the three-point line, Long Rui passed Marion with a 'crossover' after consecutive crotch shots, and then made an emergency stop jump shot one step inside the free throw line, and the basketball responded by hitting the net!
In the next round, the two sides scored the ball again.

However, there was a little friction between the inside lines on both sides. After Chandler dunked the ball in, he deliberately bumped Varejao with his shoulder.

How could the 'Brazilian actor' let go of this opportunity, the actor got on top, immediately covered the place where he was hit, and fell to the ground, but the referee ignored it.

"Interesting! This time, I feel full of gunpowder."

"Varejao's move may make Chandler very upset, maybe some stories will happen in the interior today!"

Said with a smile.

Both teams played well today. In the early part of the first quarter, they played hard to break up. Neither team got the slightest advantage from their opponents.

Several core teams from both sides have played well on the field, and the most exciting one is the confrontation between Long Rui and Nowitzki!

After the first quarter.

26: 26.

This is the first time they have tied in the first quarter!

Soon the second quarter began, and it was also a contest between the two sides' rotations.

The advantages of the Cavaliers are revealed at this moment. The excellent depth of the bench gives them a certain advantage in the lineup.

After Paul George took the field, he quickly entered the state of the game. Compared with the previous game, his fiery state has not diminished at all.

Whether it is an attack after a breakthrough or a shot from the outside, he can score the ball.

In less than 4 minutes of the second quarter, the Cavaliers gradually established an advantage, and the point difference widened to five points.

This period is the most difficult time for the Mavericks. Coach Carlisle has nothing to do about it. If it is a tactical problem, he can adjust it at any time.

But this is a problem with the depth of the lineup. Even if he is extremely anxious, there is nothing he can do, so he can only bite the bullet and get through it.

Fortunately, these substitutes for the Mavericks today were not too bad, which didn't make the score stretched too much.

Two minutes later, Nowitzki and others finally returned to the court, and immediately stabilized the situation, and there was no collapse like the previous game.

The two sides fell into a fight for several minutes again, but Terry, the 'nervous knife', made a sudden effort and hit two three-pointers in a row!

At the end of the first half, help the Mavericks tie the score again!

"Hey! It's a good game!"

"Terry opened it very early, which is a good thing for the Mavericks. Once he opened it, Nowitzki will be a lot easier and can better maintain his physical strength for the second half of the game."

"It can be seen that in order to win this game, both teams took the most serious attitude today. Judging from the current situation, it is still unknown who will win."
