NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

The first half is over.

33:58
Throughout the first half of the game, the Mavericks only scored a poor 33 points in the hands of the Cavaliers.

Although this is not the lowest scoring record in the first half of the NBA, it is still a very low score.

You must know that the Mavericks fought the Cavaliers in seven games in the finals last season and almost won the championship.

Who would have thought that after only half a year, there would be such a huge gap in the strength of these two teams.

"After the first half of the game, when seeing such a score, many fans must be filled with emotion."

In the CV-5 live broadcast room, the commentator let out a sigh.

Last season, he and Zhang Weiping came to live broadcast the aura battle of the finals, so they were also the ones who touched the most.

"NBA games are always changing like this. Throughout history, there are not a few teams like the Mavericks."

"This is a business alliance, and trade reinforcement is a common thing."

"Just like the Cavaliers last season, everyone thought they would become a big team, but after Long Rui came, he made a few trades and became a championship team."

Zhang Weiping also echoed, the first game of the new season will also be broadcast live with his partner Yang Yi.

Moments later, the second half of the game began. When the Mavericks players came out of the tunnel, they could clearly feel that they had been completely discouraged and seemed to have no fighting spirit.

Even Nowitzki lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the Mavericks sent a baseline ball.

Outside the three-point line, the 'old demon' Kidd looked up at the score and couldn't help sighing secretly.

He organized the offense as usual, but his teammates had no enthusiasm for running on the field, and just dealt with it casually.

The Cavaliers' defensive attitude has not changed. Under such a situation, the Mavericks have no reasonable offensive opportunities at all.

After observing for a while, Kidd felt more and more lost in his heart. Finally, he chose to make a move by himself, but it still ended in blacksmithing.

The Cavaliers received the backcourt rebound, and Long Rui accelerated the attack directly from the backcourt.

The old Vince Carter was nothing in front of Long Rui. After one step, Heywood made a wonderful personal dunk through the basket!

Heywood dodged subconsciously, but it was inevitable that he would end up as a backdrop.

The Cavaliers' scoring continues to rise, and the point difference between the two teams is still widening.

Even though Nowitzki was full of unwillingness in his heart, he was helpless at the moment. The gap in strength was irreversible, and he finally recognized the reality.

Halfway through the three quarters, the point difference has reached 30 points, and the Mavericks almost gave up the game.

But at this moment, Vince Carter used his actions to stir up a little splash in this pool of stagnant water, at least causing the water surface to fluctuate.

As the former slam dunk king, one of the "four major shooting guards", he couldn't stand such a failure.

After Carter received the ball on the weak side, he faced Jimmy Butler's defense.

He tried two breakthroughs in succession, but were successfully defended by Butler, but he did not give up.

Until the third time, he used his own experience to finally deceive Butler, and then made a breakthrough with difficulty.

Carter lost the speed and explosive power he once had, but he still has a flying heart.

After he rushed inside with the ball, he jumped with all his strength!
"BOOM!"

The sound of the explosion sounded, and a one-handed dunk succeeded!

At this moment, the fans seemed to see the old "half-human, half-god"!
Carter is old, but he can still fly!

After dunking the goal, Carter did not make any celebrations, but lowered his head and trotted all the way to retreat.

At this time, many fans of the Cavaliers at home gave him applause, once to express their affirmation of him.

Vince Carter's dunk also became the only highlight of the Mavericks' game. After that, the Mavericks did not improve any more.

With more than four minutes left in the third quarter, the Cavaliers withdrew their main players, and the game entered garbage time.

Throughout the fourth quarter, Long Rui and others watched from the sidelines, watching their teammates end the game.

"Dudu!"

When the final whistle sounded, the game ended and the score was fixed.

70:103
In the first game of the new season, the Cavaliers got off to a good start with a 33-point massacre.

They won very easily, without even using their full strength.

At this moment that should have been celebrated, Long Rui didn't feel too much pleasure, instead, he was a little moved by the scene, and many emotions arose in his heart.

"Long Rui? Are you okay? Why don't you look happy?"

After returning to the locker room, Yi Jianlian found out about Long Rui's situation and asked immediately.

"I'm fine, just seeing the current Mavericks, I think of a lot of things."

Long Rui responded indifferently.

After a simple rinse, it is the familiar post-match release link.

Since today is the first game of the new season and it coincides with Christmas, a lot of media came to today's press conference.

"Coach Scott! In the first game of the new season, you won a big victory. How do you feel about it?"

A reporter asked Byron Scott.

"Obviously, it's a game to be happy about and it's a good start for the team."

"But in fact, one game can't explain anything. We won the championship last season, so the outside world will pay more attention to us this season, and what we have to do is to play every game well."

Scott replied seriously.

"Due to labor negotiations this season, the schedule has been shortened, but the game is very tight. This may consume more energy than last season. In your opinion, will the intensive schedule affect the team's state?"

The reporter asked again.

"You are right. I think it will be more or less affected, but our team is very young. Compared with some teams, we have a physical advantage."

"As for the tightness of the schedule, it will be more or less affected, but every team faces the same situation, not just us, so there will be a fair competition."

Afterwards, the reporter asked a few more questions, many of which were about Long Rui, but Long Rui just responded casually.

In the new season, he still has only one goal, and that is to defend the championship. As for the competition for personal honors, he doesn't take it very seriously.

Just like in this game, he only played 28 minutes and scored 17 points. This is a very common statistic. As long as the team can win, he doesn't care if the statistic is like this throughout the season.
