NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"Long Rui actually passed through the middle of the two, this is the classic of Flash Wade!"

"Big Z has already established his position on the inside, and Long Rui has lost the opportunity to attack the frame!"

"Wait! Long Rui didn't slow down, what is he trying to do?"

"In your face!"

"Violent facial buttons!"

The two commentators were so excited that they couldn't help themselves!

They just saw Wade dunking Varejao just now, and their emotions haven't calmed down yet. Unexpectedly, in the next round, Long Rui will return it in the same way, and it will be even more difficult!

You must know that Big Z has a height of 221 centimeters, which is ten centimeters taller than Varejao!

Long Rui's height is only 198 centimeters, and it is conceivable how difficult it is to complete the buckle on the big Z from the front.

At this moment, on the big screen above the Cavaliers' home court, Long Rui's shocking dunk was constantly replaying.

This scene reminded many fans of Vince Carter's 'death button' to Frederick in the 2000 Olympics!
Long Rui's dunk this time is exactly the same, obviously better than Wade's dunk on Varejao just now!
"MVP! MVP!"

The entire Quicken Loans Center arena instantly fell into madness. They fell silent a second ago, but at this moment, the voice of MVP resounded through the audience, and it could not be calmed down for a long time!

The morale of the Cavaliers also immediately rose because of this goal!

Wade stared closely at Long Rui. At this moment, he had listed Long Rui as one of his strongest opponents, while before there was only Kobe.

Big Z looked a little frustrated, but he quickly adjusted his state. After all, he has been fighting in this alliance for many years, and he has experienced many storms.

This is the biggest difference between a veteran and a rookie player. No matter what kind of setbacks they suffer, they can quickly adjust their mentality.

If the person being dunked is a rookie player, it may cast a huge psychological shadow on him, and he may not even be able to get out for a long time.

Dunking the big Z is naturally a relief, but at the same time it completely angered the Big Three of the Heat.

The three of them began to exert their strength on the offensive end. First, Wade broke into the inside and used the European step to score 2+1.

Immediately afterwards, James steals Jamison, and then rushes to the frontcourt to complete dunks.

In the next round, Bosh shot a cold arrow from the outside and hit a three-pointer.

Under the bombardment by the three of them in turn, the score was opened again!

59: 47.

After the second quarter, the Heat, under the leadership of the Big Three, have stretched the score to 12 points.

The Cavaliers have done very well in this quarter. Long Rui and Yi Jianlian also had their own wonderful performances, but they still couldn't match the opponent's strong lineup.

Intermission, the two sides returned to the locker room.

In the locker room, the players of the Cavaliers were a little depressed. Each of them tried their best, but still couldn't prevent the opponent's attack, which made them feel frustrated.

Byron Scott kept encouraging: "Guys, cheer up, this is the first half, we still have a lot of time to chase points!"

As the head coach, he is under tremendous pressure now.

If there is no Long Rui, the Cavaliers' plan is to play badly, and he will not have too much pressure.

But now because of Long Rui, everything has changed. They no longer play poorly, but aim for the playoffs, so every game is very important to them.

"Everyone, don't think too much, take the time to rest, but there will be a fierce battle in the second half."

Long Rui, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke out. He didn't arrange any tactics, but just encouraged his teammates.

Throughout the first half, except for the timeout, Long Rui did not rest for a minute.

According to the past practice, Long Rui will continue to rest for a few minutes at the beginning of the third quarter, but today he is ready to play the whole game.

"Ah Lian, it's up to you in the third quarter."

Long Rui suddenly walked to Yi Jianlian's side and said something.

Yi Jianlian was taken aback for a moment, he frowned slightly, and turned to look at Long Rui: "Long Rui, what does this mean?"

"In the third quarter, you cooperate with me, no matter how many pick-and-rolls, I will try my best to attract defenses and create open opportunities for you."

"And all you have to do is throw these open shots, how about it? Are you sure?"

Long Rui patted Yi Jianlian's arm lightly.

Yi Jianlian was silent for a while, then nodded seriously: "I will do my best!"

……

After a while, the intermission ended, and the two sides returned to the field again!
At the beginning of the third quarter, Spoelstra left James alone to lead the team, while Wade and Bosh still sat on the bench to rest.

They now hold a [-]-point lead, so they naturally have a certain amount of capital.

The Cavaliers maintained their starting lineup. In Long Rui's view, this period of time is the best time for them to chase points.

Although the Heat's starting lineup is extremely luxurious, they also have a fatal problem, that is, the depth of the bench is not enough.

Except for the Big Three, no player scored in double figures.

To put it bluntly, their bench lineup is about the same as that of the Cavaliers, or even worse.
