NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

After three quarters.

79:75
The Mavericks took a 4-point lead!

From being behind by 5 points at halftime to now leading by 4 points, the Mavericks can do this under such intensity. It can be said that the Mavericks played a perfect game.

During the break between festivals, Nowitzki and the others continued to relax their muscles, sweat slid down their cheeks, and soon wet the floor.

He looked up at the scorer, and couldn't help thinking of the regrets in 06. He would never allow a second failure.

"The game will enter the final contest."

"Judging from the current situation, the Mavericks are a team with more desire to win, and their attitude in the game is worth learning for everyone."

"Although the four-point lead is not much, but with such intensity, it is not easy for the Cavaliers to recover these four points."

While talking, the game of the fourth quarter has already started.

The Mavericks launched their first offense. Without Nowitzki and Kidd, Terry and Marion will have to carry the burden of offense.

Such a critical moment is a test of a player's ability to withstand pressure.

After Terry took the ball across the half court, he handed it directly to Marion, and Chandler, the 'King of Fighters' inside, came up to cover.

The two cooperated to form a defense change, and Marion played Varejao one-on-one.

If it is Marion at his peak, he can easily pass Varejao's defense, but now he has lost the ability to pass people quickly.

The consumption of physical energy made his feet move more slowly, even facing a big player like Varejao, it would take a lot of trouble.

After a few consecutive wobbles, using the change of rhythm, he managed to get past his defense, but the subsequent open mid-range jumper failed to make the ball.

After Yi Jianlian received the rebound, Long Rui quickly launched a counterattack. Now that the team's three major scoring points are on the court at the same time, it is the best time for them to chase points.

Stephen Curry quickly landed in the bottom corner, and Yi Jianlian came to the free throw line as a response. After Long Rui gave him the ball, he and George cut in from the left and right sides at the same time!

The impact of these two people is extremely strong, and they are both existences that cannot be ignored. Chandler, the insider, can only take care of one person, and the other person is bound to be emptied.

After weighing again and again, Chandler chose to keep a close eye on Long Rui and let go of his defense against George.

Seeing this, Yi Jianlian took the opportunity to pass the ball and assisted George to complete the alley-oop!
"Good shot! The first offense of the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter was a rare teamwork."

"Sure enough, when their three scoring points are on the court at the same time, it is difficult for the Mavericks to limit their offense!"

The goal was scored, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became more active.

After being silent for the entire third quarter, the fans finally let out some shouts at this time!
In the next few rounds, the three armies of the Cavaliers put their lives to the test, and Long Rui also began to show his strong personal ability, shooting from inside and outside, and scored another five points!

Fortunately, on the Mavericks' side, Terry showed the attribute of "nervous knife" and also hit a key three-pointer from the outside, which prevented the Cavaliers from completing the overtake.

Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Coach Carlisle took advantage of a dead ball to replace Nowitzki and Kidd.

"Now that the main players from both sides are back, the Mavericks still have a one-point lead, and the final decisive moment is finally coming."

"The ownership of the championship will also be announced in the last eight minutes!"

At this moment, the players on the field are under tremendous pressure, and the fans watching the game are also extremely nervous.

After all, so far, no one has gained a clear advantage, and the outcome is still unclear.

"Brother Long, come on!"

"Hurry up and take away the Mavericks!"

Countless Chinese fans are silently cheering for Long Rui, they are eagerly looking forward to the moment when Long Rui wins the O'Brien Cup.

The game continued. After Nowitzki returned to the court, he immediately scored at the basket to help the team hold a weak lead.

In the next few rounds, the two sides started the mutual attack mode.

The Cavaliers scored a goal, and the Mavericks responded immediately.

This situation lasted for more than three minutes, but as the game progressed, the physical fitness of the players was rapidly depleted, and the state of the two sides began to decline on both offensive and defensive ends.

The sound of hammering irons sounded frequently on the field, especially the Mavericks, who had serious physical problems. The previous fierce physical confrontation made them pay too much physical strength.

Now it can be clearly seen that the chests of Nowitzki, Kidd and others are violently heaving, they are panting heavily, and as long as they have a little time, they will stop and take a rest.

Although the Cavaliers also have huge consumption, their core players are young after all and have a certain advantage in physical fitness, and this advantage will become more and more obvious as time goes by.

The game came to the last 2 minutes, and the Mavericks tenaciously defended the two-point advantage.

Their pace on the defensive end was already very slow, and Long Rui and George could even break through easily, but every time they broke into the inside, the opponent would shrink in time, not giving them an easy shot.

Long Rui wanted to break the deadlock by breaking through the ball, but Curry failed to make two consecutive outside shots.

The feel of the two sides has dropped to a freezing point. From the second half of the fourth quarter, the mid-range and long-range shots almost all ended in iron.

In the next round, after the Mavericks received the rebound, Kidd began to control the time of the game. Now what they have to do is to hold on to this slight advantage. As long as they persist for more than a minute, they can win the game!

When the attack time was reduced to eight seconds, Kidd launched an attack. Under the cover of his teammates, he successfully delivered the ball to Nowitzki.

This goal is particularly critical for both sides. If it can be scored, the Mavericks will stabilize their advantage even more.

Facing Yi Jianlian's defense, Nowitzki still tried to play back, but at this time he no longer had the strength to push back against Yi Jianlian.

After a few pushes in a row, Yi Jianlian only took half a step back.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, Nowitzki made a quick decision. He suddenly took a small step back, stretched his position a little, and immediately shot a jumper!
Yi Jianlian tried his best to take off and block the shot, but he was still a little short.

"Shh!"

In the next breath, the sound of a basketball hitting the net sounded, and the Mavericks' bench erupted in cheers!
Yi Jianlian's face was livid for a while. He failed to defend the ball, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Cavaliers.

Now they are four points behind, the game time is running out, and the huge pressure hovers above their heads, making everyone feel suffocated.
