NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"Long Rui?"

"Is there anyone going to question his ability?"

"He's a fantastic player and the accolades he's got now are enough to prove his strengths."

The person who said these words was the head of the Lakers star Kobe Bryant.

Three days later, the Lakers will face the challenge of the Cavaliers at home. For the Lakers, this will also be a fierce battle.

At the moment, Bryant has just completed today's training and is being interviewed by ESPN.

When the reporter asked questions related to Long Rui, Kobe immediately lifted his spirits.

"In your opinion, is Long Rui really that good? Don't forget, they lost to the Heat before. Does that mean that LeBron and the others are even better?"

These reporters are just afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and many stars will face such problems.

Some young players may not know how to answer, but Kobe seems to be handy in dealing with it.

"I think this is a very idiotic question. If I were your leader, I would definitely fire you."

"Long Rui and LeBron are both very good players. Your comparison is meaningless."

"What can a game show? Who hasn't lost?"

"Just like I beat the team with Jordan, according to your theory, I am a better player than Jordan!"

"If that's the case, I have to thank you!"

Kobe's words immediately left the reporter speechless.

He smiled awkwardly and hastily changed the subject.

"You will meet in a few days. They beat you last season, so for the upcoming game, are you ready for revenge?"

"Your question is really annoying."

"Failure is the subject that annoys me, but I have to face it."

"They're a very strong team, they're better than us in terms of lineup alone."

"However, I will not back down because of these. As long as I stand on the court, I will go all out and try my best to win."

Although Kobe did not directly answer this question, it can be heard from his tone that he is looking forward to this game.

So far this season, Kobe still maintains a very high level of competition.

You must know that he has reached the age of 33. At this age, many players are no longer at their peak, and even have experienced a serious decline, and some have retired sadly.

But Kobe's peak period seems to be extraordinarily long, his statistics are still perfect, and his scoring average has increased a little compared to last season, which is very rare.

In addition to maintaining the economic level, he has always maintained a competitive heart, and his paranoia is incredible.

In the game, he is always eager to win.

……

After the Cavaliers defeated the Wizards, they embarked on a journey against the New Jersey Nets without stopping.

This season's Nets are headed by Deron Williams, with Lopez, Wallace and other giants, and the lineup is also quite good.

But it is a pity that they have not been able to perform as expected so far this season, which is a bit disappointing.

Today, they will face the challenge of the Cavaliers. Before this game, they have already suffered a three-game losing streak. They urgently need a victory to get the team out of the predicament.

But to beat the Cavaliers, they must play a super-level performance.

The game started in the anticipation of the fans.

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Deron Williams seemed to have had chicken blood.

The continuous change of direction and shaking almost knocked Curry down. After breaking into the inside line, facing Yi Jianlian's supplementary defense, he directly succeeded in a small throw.

On the next possession, he shook Curry away again, then pulled up and hit a mid-range jumper.

Deron is desperate to win, and he inspires the whole team with his performance.

There is no doubt about his personal ability. After all, the saying of eating, sleeping, and hitting Paul is not groundless.

Chris Paul is the best point guard in the league today, but he is often the one who is at a disadvantage in the fight against Deron.

Deron's excellent opening has mobilized his teammates very well. Under his active instigation, Lopez and others also stepped forward to respond.

In the first 3 minutes, they beat the Cavaliers 9:3.

This can't help but remind the fans of the game where the Cavaliers lost to the Heat.

"Are the Cavaliers going to lose again today?"

"It's understandable to lose to the Heat. After all, the strength of the Big Three lies there, but if you lose to the Nets, it's not justified, right?"

Just a few minutes after the start of the game, some glass-hearted fans couldn't take it anymore after seeing the score, and all kinds of remarks about the Cavaliers' failure began to appear again.

As the game progressed, the Cavaliers gradually regained their status on the offensive end.

Long Rui hit the buzzer and helped the team narrow the point difference to one point before the end of the first quarter.

Soon, the second quarter began, and the Nets still maintained a fiery state.

Deron Williams felt extremely hot today. He scored two consecutive three-pointers to expand the score again.

But the Cavaliers also responded immediately, and the point difference between the two teams has been maintained within five points.

This trend continued for a full quarter of the game, and the Nets always suppressed the Cavaliers.

But after the start of the second half, the situation changed instantly.

Long Rui began to exert his strength on the offensive end. He shot from inside and outside, scored 17 points in a row, and the Nets collapsed in an instant.

Long Rui's dominance continued. After three quarters, the Cavaliers had overtaken their opponents by 13 points.

The two sides entered the final quarter of the contest. The Nets tried to reverse, but they couldn't hold back the Cavaliers.

In the end, they suffered a four-game losing streak with 112:98.

The Cavaliers have won two consecutive victories, and they will also go to Los Angeles with the momentum of winning streak to challenge the real strong enemy.

In this game, Long Rui showed off his scoring ability, scoring 56 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists.

Among them, 56 points are the highest score so far this season, but this score can only rank fourth in Long Rui's career.

In fact, since the start of the competition, Long Rui has set many milestones.

After this game, his personal score has reached 2962 points. As long as he gets 38 points, he will reach the milestone of 3000 points.

It is a pity that Long Rui was 21 years old when he entered the league, and now he is about to reach 22 years old, so he is destined not to break James' youngest record.

But if he can score 38 points in the next game, then he will be crowned Mr. 3000 points in the shortest game, which is also a remarkable achievement!
