NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

The timeout came back, the game continued, and the Mavericks sent a sideline kick.

Outside the three-point line, the 'old demon' Kidd continues his important task of organizing, and his first choice is to help the outside line open the situation, so that it can form a trend of internal and external echoes.

But the Cavaliers did not let their opponents succeed easily. Their defense was full of oppression, and Terry and others were not able to run out of a good position.

The attack time is running out, seeing that the outside attack is not successful, Kidd immediately gave the ball to the inside, and the twin towers continued to end the attack.

But just after Nowitzki received the ball, Long Rui immediately chose to give up defending Marion and went to double-team with Yi Jianlian.

This defensive change caught Nowitzki a little off guard. He never expected that Long Rui would be so bold.

In a panic, Nowitzki tightly protected the ball. He lost the chance to make a shot and could only choose to pass the ball to Marion who was emptied.

Sean Marion glanced at the basket, and immediately made a decisive shot!

"Bang!"

There was a crisp iron strike, and the mid-range and long-range jumper missed.

This is the effect Long Rui wants to achieve. As long as the opponent fails to make a shot in one round, he will have the opportunity to expand his advantage.

After receiving the defensive rebound, the Cavaliers quickly launched a counterattack. Long Rui and Curry quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and once again used their speed advantage to successfully score the ball!

After the goal was scored, the Cavaliers led by 3 points, which was the biggest point difference in the second half, which shows the intensity of today's game.

"No one thought that the Cavaliers would adopt such a bold double-teaming tactic at such a critical moment."

"They didn't hesitate to defend against the outside line, but also restricted the Mavericks' inside twin towers. It can be seen that their current defense is extremely targeted."

"If they've been playing that way defensively, the Mavericks' strongest point of offense is limited."

"Once the inside twin towers cannot play an efficient offense, the outside line of the Mavericks will take on the heavy responsibility of offense."

"From the defense just now, we can see that Marion is being defended in the air. When Nowitzki is double-teamed, Marion must be the first passer."

"Now it's time to test Marion's shooting, which puts a lot of pressure on him."

"His shooting percentage this season is not high. I don't know if he can withstand the pressure under such circumstances."

"You know, this is already the sixth game of the finals. If the Cavaliers win again, then the two sides will enter the tiebreaker."

"This is very unfavorable for the Mavericks. After all, the finals are very intense, and their overall age is too old. The continuous battles are a huge test of physical energy consumption."

"Once they get to the tie-break, it's a question of whether they'll be able to stay productive."

Zhang Weiping analyzed seriously.

In the next round, the Cavaliers continued the defense just now, and the ball was passed to Marion again.

He couldn't make the shot just now, and he blamed himself a little in his heart, and now he hesitated even more.

Marion took a step forward, this time he was closer to the basket, he aimed at the basket again, and chose to shoot!

"Bang!"

In the next breath, the sound of blacksmithing sounded again, and Marion's face immediately became ugly.

Two consecutive missed shots immediately frustrated his confidence. Although he is already a seasoned veteran with rich experience, his mentality will inevitably be shaken.

After all, this is already the finals, and every round on the field may change the trend of the game, especially at this critical moment when the score is stalemate, whoever can break the deadlock first will be able to take the lead.

But now he wasted two chances in vain, and he felt very sorry.

After Yi Jianlian took off the rebound, he gave the ball to Long Rui and launched a counterattack again!
Break through and score the ball!
Stephen Curry occupies the bottom corner and suddenly casts a cold arrow!

"Shh!"

The three-pointer hits the net!
The scorer flashed, and the Cavaliers added another 3 points, and the point difference between the two teams was instantly opened to 6 points.

On the sidelines, Mavericks coach Carlisle saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly called a timeout to adjust.

At this moment, their offense is in crisis, and this problem must be resolved as soon as possible.

Coach Carlisle took out the tactical board and made gestures on it, as if he had already thought of a solution.

Soon, the timeout ended and the game continued.

After the Mavericks sent the ball from the sideline, they still gave the ball to the inside. Long Rui still chose to continue to double-team, forcing Nowitzki to pass the ball.

The basketball was still passed to Marion, and it looked like nothing had changed.

But this time, Marion did not choose to shoot, 'Jet' Terry immediately ran towards his position.

The two made a hand-to-hand pass, and Marion blocked the chasing Curry for him, giving Terry a good shot.

A mid-range jumper shot and a precise basketball hit!

The goal was scored, and coach Caral was slightly relieved. Fortunately, Terry was in a good state today, and stepped forward in time to stop the decline for the team.

"Return to man-to-man defense."

Seeing that the tactics were cracked, Long Rui immediately gave orders.

Now they hold a 4-point lead and still have the ball. What they have to do at this time is to play steadily. Even if the next game is deadlocked again, they will be able to win the game with a slight advantage.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks' twin towers made another effort without double-teaming and scored three consecutive goals.

But the Cavaliers didn't panic at all. The joint attack of Long Rui and Curry also made it difficult for them to defend.

Therefore, until the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks have never been able to narrow the point difference.

After a short intermission, the game entered the most critical fourth quarter.

The Cavaliers replaced Paul George and put on the strongest offensive lineup.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, this should be the time to rotate the lineup, but now the Mavericks are still behind, and Coach Carlisle dare not replace the starting lineup. Their substitute players are really embarrassing.

In the first few minutes, the two teams still played back and forth, but as the game progressed, the Mavericks' physical crisis broke out completely.

Nowitzki, Kidd and other core players did not rest for 1 minute in the second half, which is quite difficult for these veterans.

In the last 3 minutes, the Mavericks' offense completely stagnated, showing exhaustion on both ends of the offense and defense, while the Cavaliers seized the opportunity and accepted the game in one fell swoop.

The game ended at 99:108.

Back at home, the Cavaliers won two consecutive victories and successfully dragged the finals into the tiebreaker!
At this moment, many Cavaliers fans are beginning to look forward to it. They expect the Cavaliers to make history and become the first team to complete a reversal after falling behind 1:3 in the finals!
