NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"MVP! MVP!"

When Kobe was holding the ball on the outside, the entire Staples Arena suddenly sounded the voice of MVP.

The fans pushed the atmosphere of the game to the peak, which made the already disadvantaged Cavaliers even more passive.

Amid the wild cheers of the fans at the scene, Kobe once again demonstrated his strong personal offensive ability, forcing his shot against the double-team of the two and sending the ball into the basket.

Kobe Bryant's offensive state was fully stimulated today. With 3 minutes left before the end of the second quarter, he personally scored his 20th point of the game.

Everyone knows that when Kobe plays in this state, he will be unstoppable.

The feat of 81 points in a single game is still vivid today, and it is a pain that will never be touched in the hearts of Torontonians.

81 points in a single game is the second record in history. It is worth mentioning that Long Rui had a super performance of 76 points in a single game last season.

And 76 points in a single game ranked fourth in history, and the third and first place are both occupied by the same person, that is the 'Ancient Beast' Wilt Chamberlain!
Both Kobe and Long Rui are the best scorers of this era. Unfortunately, there has not been a wonderful matchup in this game so far.

It's just that the 'Black Mamba' Kobe is thriving on the court, and Long Rui has no response.

At this moment, the Cavaliers have been completely controlled by their opponents. Paul George finally helped the team's approaching point difference and was blocked again.

The referee whistled and the first half ended.

47:62
The Cavaliers are already 15 points behind.

Being 15 points behind at halftime is really unacceptable for a strong team like the Cavaliers.

"Let's go, there is no need to watch this game anymore."

"Hey... what happened to the Cavaliers this season? Why did they get beaten like this when they met a strong team?"

"Heh! That's it? Still want to defend the title? It would be nice to pass the first round."

In front of the screen, when Cavaliers fans saw their performance like this, they were deeply disappointed.

This season, the Cavaliers acted like a tiger when facing weak teams, but in front of these top-notch teams, they were like a sick cat, completely losing themselves.

During the half-time break, the visiting team's dressing room was silent.

Curry and the others sat and rested with dejected expressions, and no one said a word.

Head coach Byron Scott was staring at the tactical board in his hand in a daze.

The team tried various tactics in the second quarter, but none of them were able to achieve much effect.

The explosive Kobe blasted them all by himself, and no one could limit his scoring.

What's even more frightening is that this is only half of the game. If they continue in this state, I really don't know how many points they will lose after the whole game is over.

Could be a twenty-something fiasco, maybe even more…

And once they lose to the Lakers by a big score, those media will definitely not miss the opportunity to complain wildly, and the pressure the Cavaliers will face by then can be imagined.

Coach Scott didn't dare to think any more, he had done everything he could, and the next step was left to God's will.

I only hope that the state of Curry and others can pick up in the second half, even if they can't escape the fate of losing in the end, don't lose too ugly.

"Coach, let me play in the second half."

A sudden voice broke the silence in the locker room, and it was Long Rui who spoke.

"No, don't be brave if you're not feeling well. It's just a game, it's no big deal."

Yi Jianlian couldn't help but said.

"Alian..."

Long Rui scolded, trying to stop him.

But Yi Jianlian said bluntly: "Coach, Long Rui can't play, he's not feeling well and still has a fever."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

Scott frowned and looked at Long Rui, and immediately scolded: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

No wonder he felt that Long Rui was very strange today, he couldn't find his status on the field at all.

Originally, he just thought that Long Rui was a little tired, but he never thought that he was sick.

At this time, Paul George also remembered the scene when he replaced Long Rui in the first quarter. No wonder Long Rui said that.

Long Rui took a deep breath, and immediately said: "I'm fine, I've been in relief just now, and now I'm much better, and I can play."

"No, you must rest well."

This time, coach Scott did not follow Long Rui, and his attitude of opposition was extremely tough.

"Coach, this game is very important to us, you should understand how much abuse we will suffer once we lose."

Immediately, Long Rui leaned into Scott's ear and whispered: "Now the team has managed to regain a little confidence, and we must not lose again at this time, otherwise the team's confidence will definitely be hit. This is for us It will be very disadvantageous.”

"So this game, we have to win."

After hearing these words, Scott's heart was shaken.

Indeed, what Long Rui said was correct. After the previous loss to the Heat, Curry and others suffered ups and downs in their mentality. It was Long Rui who enlightened them one by one, which slowed them down.

But if they lose to the Lakers today, it will undoubtedly be another huge blow.

Thinking of this, Scott also nodded helplessly: "Okay, you can play, but if you are still out of shape, I will replace you immediately."

"It's a word."

……

The 15-minute intermission ended, and the two sides entered the second half of the contest.

"Huh? Long Rui is playing?"

"Really! Why did you go early?"

"If Long Rui had played in the second quarter, maybe the score would not have been like this."

When the fans in front of the screen saw Long Rui, they immediately became interested.

When Kobe saw Long Rui, he was also a little surprised. Long Rui didn't play in the entire second quarter. It is conceivable that he must be very uncomfortable.

And now that Long Rui has reappeared, this also makes him appreciate Long Rui even more.

The first offense of the second half was initiated by the Cavaliers.

Long Rui still chose to play off the ball, but the difference was that he began to actively increase his running positions.

He cuts from the baseline and uses Yi Jianlian's body to delay Bryant.

At the same time, Curry immediately passed the ball.

In the next breath, Long Rui jumped and dunked with both hands!

"BOOM!"

The sound of exploding the frame sounded, and this dunk immediately boosted the morale of the Cavaliers!
"nice shot!"

"Yes! This is the way to fight! Brother Long is mighty!"

This goal also made the Cavaliers fans excited.

As everyone knows, Long Rui almost used his full strength to dunk the dunk, which he could easily do normally.

"Retreat."

After landing, Long Rui greeted immediately.

Although his physical condition is not good, he uses his attitude to motivate his teammates to move forward all the time!
