NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

At the moment of life and death, the six offenders of the 'old driver' left!
After the game, Nowitzki kicked the bench hard to vent his emotions. This is an extremely rare scene.

So far in his career, he has never been an emotional player, but today's expression is indeed uncharacteristic.

No one thought that Nowitzki would be forced to this point by Long Rui.

In the eyes of the outside world, no matter what the final result of this game is, Long Rui and his team are successful. As the underdogs in the East, it is already very remarkable to be able to push the strong players in the West to this level.

With Nowitzki's foul, the ball returned to the hands of the Cavaliers again.

At present, they are only 2 points behind, and the game still has 1 minute and 30 seconds, so they can organize the attack calmly.

This goal was crucial for both sides. At the last moment, Long Rui chose to stand up.

After serving the ball from the sideline, he received the ball smoothly and arrived at a 45-degree angle against time.

According to the normal defensive thinking, Long Rui, as the strongest point of the Cavaliers, should step forward to double-team at this time.

But the Mavericks didn't do this. They didn't want to, but they didn't dare.

The Cavaliers' lineup has blossomed a lot in the second half of the game, and anyone can attack.

This also caused the players of the Mavericks to be very difficult to defend. If they were not careful, they would be run out of the open space and scored by the opponent, so none of them dared to step forward to double-team Long Rui.

Long Rui held the ball outside the three-point line and faced Stevenson again. His footsteps suddenly started. After taking a false step, relying on his excellent core strength, he took a large step back.

After pulling away from the defender, he decisively took off and shot!
Under everyone's gaze, the basketball fell into the basket precisely!
95-96!

The scoring counter flashed, and Long Rui's three-pointer helped the Cavaliers complete the overtake!

This is the team leading the opponent again after the short lead in the first quarter, and it is still at the last moment of life and death.

After the goal was hit, the entire bench of the Cavaliers erupted in jubilation. On the other hand, the Mavericks were downcast, and the faces of the players were full of bewilderment.

Mavericks coach Carlisle called the last timeout in their hands, intending to arrange the team's last attack.

Nowitzki, the team's most stable scoring point, has committed six fouls, but fortunately, the team still has a lot of scoring points. Marion and Terry are good choices.

Carlisle looked up at his players, then drew the tactics on the tactical board, and kept encouraging them.

Compared with the tension of the Mavericks, the Cavaliers' bench is very relaxed.

"Long, how do you plan to defend the last attack?"

Scott asked.

Long Rui waved his hand: "You don't need to think too much, just mark one-on-one and go all out."

At this time, it is up to the players themselves, as long as they try their best to defend, and the rest is left to luck.

A moment later, back from a timeout, the Mavericks served the ball up front, and Kidd used the cover to come out and catch the ball.

With 27 seconds left in the game, they had enough time to organize a complete attack.

'Old demon' Kidd did not panic, while controlling the ball, while directing his teammates to move.

Chandler on the inside stepped forward to make a screen, and Terry on the right used the screen to go straight to the basket!
Seeing this, Jamison, who was in charge of defending Marion on the other side, quickly retracted his defense. Seeing this, the seasoned Kidd immediately passed the ball towards Marion.

Jamison, who made up the defense, thought something was wrong, but he had no time to pounce.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the diagonal stab, copied the ball halfway, and then rushed to the frontcourt.

Marion and Kidd wanted to catch up, but they couldn't keep up with Long Rui.

The teenager wearing the number 9 jersey of the Cavaliers went straight to the basket, and with a gentle flick of his fingertips, he easily sent the ball into the hoop.

This ball became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After the ball was scored, the entire Quicken Loans Arena was almost boiling, as if winning a championship, but the time left for the Mavericks was only 1.9 seconds.

To make matters worse, the Mavericks had no timeout and could only serve from the backcourt. The Cavaliers were pressing all over the court.

Three consecutive defeats!
The top super team in the West suffered its first three-game losing streak this season, and it was still defeated by the Cavaliers. This is definitely a huge blow to each of their players.

'Old Demon' Kidd put his hands on his hips, looked up at the scorer, his face full of disbelief!

Each of them tried their best in this game, but the changes of the Cavaliers finally caused them to collapse. It was not because they were weak, but they lost to luck.

Today, the Cavaliers ran out of many open positions, and those role players also made those balls very competitively.

Although the game is over, the fans at home are still immersed in the joy of victory and do not want to leave for a long time.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the Cavaliers was full of jubilation. Everyone attributed today's victory to Long Rui. Without Long Rui's bold ideas, they would have almost no chance of winning!
