NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

On the sidelines, Cavaliers coach Byron Scott requested the last timeout in his hand.

"Coach, I think we'd better figure out how to hit a quick two-pointer first, and then we'll see what happens."

Stephen Curry said solemnly.

"Yes, coach, there is still 1 minute left. Normally, we have two chances to attack. First score a two-pointer, and then try to defend the next goal. There is still a chance."

Paul George also echoed.

"Long Rui, what do you think?"

Byron Scott turned to Long Rui and asked, he should have made the decision at this time, but they were used to obeying Long Rui's arrangements.

Long Rui glanced at everyone, then nodded slowly: "Now it seems that this is indeed the safest way, let's do it this way."

As soon as the words fell, Long Rui took over the tactical board from Scott and arranged a two-pointer tactic on it.

"Now the game has reached the most critical moment. The Cavaliers are four points behind. They need to defend their opponents and score two goals at the same time. Only in this way can they almost drag the game into overtime or complete the reversal."

"It can be seen that Long Rui is personally arranging tactics, and the last minute is crucial for both parties."

On the commentary stage, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Moments later, the timeout ends and the game continues.

The Cavaliers sent a sideline kick, and Long Rui controlled the ball from the outside. Now they must score, and the sooner the better.

He signaled his teammates to pull away, and it seemed that he wanted to solve the problem in singles.

The Mavericks' outside defensive gate Sean Marion is tense all over. As long as he can defend Long Rui's offense, the game may lose suspense directly.

Thinking of this, he concentrated all his energy and vowed to defend against Long Rui's attack.

In the next breath, Long Rui launched an impact. After continuous dribbles under the crotch, his shoulders swung suddenly, and an Iverson-style 'crossover' was displayed in an instant!

Due to the exhaustion of physical energy, Long Rui's speed slowed down a lot, but Marion was even worse. He had already seen through Long Rui's thoughts, but he still couldn't stop his breakthrough.

Feeling a gust of wind blowing beside him, Long Rui successfully completed the breakthrough from the right side.

Insider 'Champion of Boxing' Chandler hurried up to defend with heavy steps, and Long Rui was waiting for this opportunity.

Just when everyone thought he was going to shoot by himself, he chose to pass the ball, a wonderful pass to Varejao who was emptied.

Chandler couldn't help but his heart sank, it was too late for him to return to defense.

The basket was empty, and Varejao put the ball in smoothly after receiving the ball, scoring 2 points for the Cavaliers!
This attack only took 16 seconds. Now as long as the Cavaliers can defend the next goal, they have a chance to change the game.

Immediately, the Mavericks sent the baseline ball, and the Cavaliers adopted a full-court defensive strategy. It would be great if they could force the opponent to make mistakes.

But this beautiful idea did not come true. The 'old demon' Kidd advanced steadily with the ball, and under the cover of his teammates, he passed the halftime smoothly.

Although the Cavaliers recovered two points just now, the Mavericks will not be in a hurry and try to press the time to the end.

Kidd signaled his teammates to take their positions, and Nowitzki mentioned near the free throw line, and then he was ready to catch the ball. The team's last attack would naturally hit Nowitzki's hands.

With six seconds left on the shot clock, Kidd successfully passed the ball into the hands of 'North King'.

After receiving the ball, Nowitzki launched an attack directly, and once again attacked with a post-up single. This move has already scored a lot of points on Yi Jianlian's head, and the latter has no way to do it.

After he hit the ball twice in a row, he immediately joined the ball, trying to turn around and shoot a jumper.

However, at the moment when he turned around with the ball, Yi Jianlian made a sudden attack!

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Yi Jianlian's palm cut the ball with precision, and cut the ball from Nowitzki's hand abruptly!

"Attack!"

After completing the steal, Yi Jianlian yelled immediately!
Long Rui on the left was the first to react. He rushed forward at full speed, leaving behind the Mavericks players who were chasing him.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian threw the ball forward, with just the right strength and direction control, and the basketball landed right in front of Long Rui!
After the rebound, Long Rui grabbed it and made a two-step layup!

The counter flashes.

96: 96.

The Cavaliers tied the score at this moment, and even they themselves did not expect it to be so smooth.

The shouts of the fans at the scene covered up one after another. They were in despair a minute ago, but after tens of seconds, they seemed to have returned to heaven from hell!

At this moment, Mavericks coach Carlisle also hurriedly called a timeout, preparing to plan their last attack.

"No one would have thought of this goal. The Cavaliers just tied the score."

"Nowitzki's mistake really should not have given the Cavaliers a fast break opportunity for nothing."

"If this ball can be shot, even if it can't be shot, it is much better than this situation."

Although Yang Yi is a fan of Long Rui, she feels a little sorry for Nowitzki.

After all, as a 32-year-old veteran, he can still play such an outstanding and stable performance in the finals, which is really admirable.

"The game is not over yet. Although the Cavaliers tied the score, they can't be too happy. After all, there are still 21 seconds left. The ball is in the hands of the Mavericks, and they still have the initiative in the game."

"All the Cavaliers had to do was defend their last play and send the game to overtime."

"Once this game is dragged into overtime, to be honest, the Mavericks really have little chance of winning, because they have no strength to fight anymore."

Zhang Weiping analyzed and said.

When the timeout expires, both sides return to the field.

I saw the four players of the Mavericks standing in a straight line. This position is not common, but it is a good serving tactic.

Kidd came to the sideline to serve, only to hear the referee's whistle, the four players of the Mavericks quickly spread out in different directions, making it difficult for the Cavaliers' defensive players to distinguish their positions.

This tactical arrangement achieved a very significant effect, allowing Nowitzki to obtain a very favorable position for receiving the ball, and Kidd also immediately passed the ball into his hands.

After 'Nuo Tianwang' received the ball, his teammates spread out quickly, giving him enough space, so that the players of the Cavaliers did not dare to double-team.

Nowitzki looked up at the shot clock, and when there were 6 seconds left in the clock, he launched the attack!
