NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Long Rui's actions immediately aroused the emotions of his teammates, they retreated quickly, and even began to actively increase physical confrontation, and the defensive strength suddenly increased.

The Cavaliers' sudden effort caught the Lakers by surprise.

Stephen Curry on the defensive end anticipating the opponent's pass and completing a flying steal.

Long Rui gritted his teeth and ran towards the frontcourt, while Curry sent a wonderful pass, assisting Long Rui to score another two points.

After Kobe saw this scene, his expression immediately became serious.

"Don't take it lightly."

He reminded.

The Lakers sent the baseline ball, and Kobe pushed forward with the ball.

After the start of the second half, Long Rui scored two goals in a row, narrowing the point difference to 11 points, and the Cavaliers are trying to get started.

If the Lakers want to stick to their lead, they must score as soon as possible.

Beyond the three-point line, Kobe made a gesture.

I saw that Paul Gasol pulled up to a high position to make a screen, and Kobe took the opportunity to go inside, attracting two Cavaliers to double-team.

In the face of double-teaming, Kobe didn't panic, he was about to shoot when he pulled it up.

But after he got up, he used a fake throw and passed the ball directly to Gasol.

After Gasol received the ball, there was no one in front of him, and he shot a jumper without hesitation.

The sound of brushing the net sounded, and the long two-point hit was made, and the soft touch was vividly reflected on this big man!
Gasol has always been the second leader of the Lakers. He has made great contributions to the Lakers' ability to win the championship before.

Perhaps many fans think that his style of play is soft and not tough enough, but this is not the case in fact. Gasol's skills are very comprehensive and he is definitely a first-class insider in the league.

In the next few rounds, the stabilized Lakers began to exert their inside advantage.

Kobe is no longer obsessed with his own offense, but constantly creates opportunities for the inside.

Gasol and Bynum's twin-tower combo played well in the interior, and Yi Jianlian was really overwhelmed by himself.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers also performed well under the leadership of Long Rui.

Curry found his touch outside the three-point line and made two consecutive shots. Long Rui also used his breakthrough ability to cause damage.

During this period of time, the two sides showed an evenly matched situation.

The point difference between the two teams has remained at around 10 points, and it is not so easy for the Cavaliers to get closer.

Halfway through the third quarter, the game entered a timeout.

"If we don't want to solve their inside line, it is really difficult for us to chase points."

On the Cavaliers bench, Curry gasped.

Byron Scott is naturally aware of this too. Maybe letting Varejao and Yi Jianlian play at the same time will improve the situation, but it cannot be completely solved.

"Then let them separate."

Long Rui said suddenly.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at him. They knew that since Long Rui would say that, he must have thought of a countermeasure.

"Long Rui, tell me quickly, what are you going to do?"

Curry hurriedly asked.

"It's actually not that difficult to separate them."

"Bynum had two fouls on his back in the first half, and if you add a little more to that number, they're going to come apart."

"George, you replaced Hickson after the timeout. We have only one goal, which is to target Bynum infinitely."

Hearing these words, everyone nodded immediately, this plan can indeed be tried.

After a while, the timeout ended and the two sides returned to the field.

The scene of the Cavaliers' substitutions surprised everyone. Their insiders were not as good as the Lakers, but after the timeout they also took down Hickson. What kind of operation is this?
Now the lineup of the Lakers is very strange. Jimmy Butler was put on the fourth position, Paul George who replaced him was placed on the third position, and Long Rui and Curry were still in the backcourt.

In the last season, the Cavaliers also put up a small lineup. They did not put any insiders in that lineup, and this lineup kept Yi Jianlian, so it was not a completely small lineup. No one knew what they wanted. what to do.

"Fuck! What is Scott doing? What kind of weird lineup is this?"

"It's just nonsense, heh, wait for the insider to be blown up."

"Just set up like this? I'm better than him as a coach."

When some fans saw this scene, they couldn't help ridiculing.

As everyone knows, this has nothing to do with Scott at all, everything is Long Rui's arrangement.

"What are they doing?"

Even the battle-hardened 'Old Fish' Fisher couldn't understand what the Cavaliers were doing.

"No matter what they want to do, we can't afford to be careless."

Kobe reminded again that although he didn't quite understand the Cavaliers' intentions, he knew that the opponents would never act recklessly, and there must be their intentions in doing so.

After the Lakers sent a sideline ball, they quickly settled down. Gasol faced Jimmy Butler in the interior. He got stuck in the position very easily, and immediately reached out for the ball.

After receiving Kobe's pass, Gasol sat with his back, pushed twice, then turned around and hit the hook without any pressure at all.

Even though Butler's defensive ability is very strong, there is not much to do when facing a big man like Gasol. After all, he cannot make up for the disadvantage in height.

"Oh, I knew it was the result."

"I'm really out of my mind, this is for nothing."

When the Lakers scored in the interior, the taunts from these fans became even worse!

Of course, Scott couldn't hear these voices.

At this time, he watched nervously from the sidelines. This layout is actually a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it will definitely be able to break the opponent's twin towers.

But if they fail, they will fall into a very embarrassing situation.

Long Rui held the ball and advanced quickly, Yi Jianlian involved Bynum inside, and the other four all stood outside the three-point line, opening up a lot of space.

Long Rui observed for a while, and then immediately gave Paul George a look.

The two acted at the same time, George bypassed Long Rui's body to catch the ball, and at the same time slightly delayed the chasing player.

In the next breath, George went straight to the inside. The Lakers players didn't dare to shrink, for fear of missing the outside line, so they had to watch George rush to the basket.

Seeing this, Bynum, the insider 'little shark', couldn't ignore it. He immediately turned away Yi Jianlian and rushed towards George.

Paul George snorted coldly, he was waiting for this opportunity.

George suddenly stopped to make a joint shot, and Bynum didn't hold back the jump to block the shot.

But at the moment he jumped up, he realized that he had been tricked, and when he wanted to stop, it was too late.

When Bynum fell, George leaned lightly and threw the ball at the same time.

"Dudu!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and Bynum shot a foul!
