NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Although it is only a round of offense, careful fans will find that Jeremy Lin's skills have improved a lot compared to last season, and his confidence in playing is obviously different.

In the last season, although he sometimes had outstanding performances, he was a little timid when faced with pressure, and his state fluctuated greatly.

In the next round, Jeremy Lin attacked again with the ball, but this time he did not choose to attack, but distributed the ball to Yi Jianlian inside after breaking through.

After Yi Jian connected the ball, he was not afraid of Garnett's defense in the face of 'Wolf King'.

He faced the basket, and then quickly launched an attack, using a trick similar to "Fantasy Footsteps", which actually tricked Garnett's defense, directly pointed him up, and easily changed hands for a layup.

In less than 1 minute of the opening, the Celtics scored two goals in a row, but their offense did not open.

Of course, this is also because of the team's lineup. After all, Pierce and Ray Allen are not there, and the real offensive core is only Garnett.

'Wolf King' Garnett also tried to play an offense, but was defended by Yi Jianlian.

Compared with last season's matchup, Garnett obviously felt that Yi Jianlian's confrontation was much stronger, which made him feel a little pressure.

In the first quarter of the game, both teams were looking for their status, and Long Rui was always creating opportunities for his teammates. He didn't make any shots himself.

After the first quarter.

18:22
The Cavaliers lead by 4 points. Generally speaking, there are no bright spots in this quarter, but Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian played well. As for Jimmy Butler, he has not scored yet.

Perhaps because of the first game, his performance on the court seemed a little nervous, and he failed to make all three shots in the first quarter.

Soon the game entered the second quarter, Long Rui was already sitting on the bench, he didn't decide to play again, and gave the time to these teammates completely.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics started a counterattack under the leadership of Rondo. Although the quality of their players on the field was not high, they were able to play a good teamwork driven by Rondo's tactics.

A wave of 8:0 offensive climax responded to the Cavaliers and instantly overtook the score.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers adjusted back in time, and Jeremy Lin made a mid-range jumper after breaking through.

Immediately afterwards, Jimmy Butler contributed a steal on the defensive end, and successfully dunked the audience, scoring his first point in the NBA!
When Butler completed the dunk, Long Rui, who was sitting on the court, immediately stood up and gave him applause.

This scene was also seen by Butler, and he couldn't help being very moved. Since he came to the team, Long Rui has taken great care of him.

Long Rui is very aware of his family background, so he has helped him a lot in life, even the combat boots he is wearing now are gifts from Long Rui.

Last season, Long Rui signed a contract with China Li-Ning. For this reason, China Li-Ning also started to develop the first generation of boots for Long Rui.

Just a few days before the start of the preseason, Long Rui's first-generation boots were officially released, and they were named 'Longteng', which symbolizes the meaning of Longteng Wanli.

And now, Jimmy Butler is wearing these boots, and so is Long Rui.

This dunk gave Butler a lot of confidence, and then he made a breakthrough on the weak side and scored a successful layup.

Long Rui has been observing his performance off the court. After all, Butler is still a rookie, and he has not handled many details very well, but compared to his performance in college, he has greatly improved.

After the first half of the game, the score between the two sides is still very anxious. The Cavaliers entered the second half with a three-point lead.

After the start of the second half, Rondo and Garnett were also replaced, the Celtics replaced a group of substitute players, while the Cavaliers maintained the lineup at the end of the first quarter.

The Celtics, who lost Rondo and Garnett, are no match for the Cavaliers at all.

Jeremy Lin fought more and more smoothly, and teamed up with Yi Jianlian to directly penetrate the entire defense line of the Celtics.

In addition to the two of them, Butler's performance was also eye-catching. Throughout the second half, he sent out five steals alone. Adding the two in the first half, he contributed seven steals in this game. .

His defensive ability and defensive attitude have left a deep impression on the fans. Although his draft pick is not high, he has attracted a lot of attention with this performance.

Finally, with the whistle of the referee, the game ended.

86:102
In the first game of the preseason, the Cavaliers achieved a 16-point victory, ushering in a good start for the new season.

After the whole game, rookie Jimmy Butler scored 9 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 7 steals.

He doesn't score much, but his contribution on the defensive end is great!
Jeremy Lin contributed 19 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists, which is a pretty good stat.

But the best player in the game is someone else, and that is Yi Jianlian.

In the whole game, UAE scored 24 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks. Moreover, his offensive efficiency is extremely high, and his offensive skills inside have become more proficient.

Some people may say that this is just a preseason game, there is no defense, and it is not difficult to obtain such data.

But this is not the case. The defensive strength in the preseason will not be very weak, because there will be a large number of rookies playing. They are eager to express themselves on the court, so they will play very hard.

You can say they are inexperienced, but you can't question their enthusiasm on the court.

All in all, Yi Jianlian's ability to play such statistics is not because the intensity of the game is not enough, but because he has indeed become stronger than last season.

Today's game has come to an end. After two days, they will go to the Celtics' home court to play another game.

Long Rui will not choose to play, and Curry and George will usher in the first show of the new season.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Cavaliers' second preseason game started at the North Shore Garden Arena.

It is worth mentioning that today's Celtics chose to play with all members, and they seem to want to win back a victory on their own turf.

After the start of the game, the Celtics showed a strong desire to attack. The Big Three teamed up and cooperated with Rondo to immediately launch a wave of offense, giving the Cavaliers a head start.

However, as the game progressed, Curry and George gradually found the feeling of the game, and their state began to pick up.

Curry hit two consecutive three-pointers, and George responded with a breakthrough dunk.

Compared with the first game, this game was obviously played more intensely, and the winner was not decided until the last moment.

99:96
In the second contest between the two teams, the Cavaliers still had the last laugh!
