NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Both sides jump the ball in the middle circle.

Varejao faced Noah. Both of them belonged to traditional centers, and they were almost the same in height. Varejao was only two centimeters taller.

After the players of the two teams took their positions, the referee threw the ball high!
The two saw the timing and jumped almost at the same time. Joakim Noah passed the ball from Varejao's head to the backcourt with a faster bullet speed!
'Fengcheng Rose' Derrick Rose firmly controlled the ball at the first time, and then advanced to the frontcourt.

On the first attack of the game, Derrick Rose faced Curry's defense.

The two are about the same height, but Rose's physical fitness is much better than Curry's. His terrifying explosive power is something that Curry doesn't have.

Curry's defensive ability is insufficient, and Rose happens to be one of the most difficult players to defend in the league today.

Therefore, for Curry, defending Rose is definitely a very difficult task.

Facing Rose, Curry did not dare to relax in the slightest. He opened his arms and stared closely at Rose's actions.

However, even so, he still failed to stop Rose's attack.

I saw Rose use his own terrifying explosive power to match his unparalleled speed to start instantly.

Almost passed Curry in one step, leaped high after a big stride, dodged in the air, used a super difficult folding layup to avoid the block, and sent the ball into the basket!

The difficult folding lever has almost become one of Rose's must-kill stunts, and it has been frequently used in this season's games, making opponents hard to guard against!
"Brilliant goal!"

"In the first attack at the beginning, Derrick Rose has already shown a strong desire to attack. It seems that he will kill again in this game!"

The narrator explained excitedly.

Watching Rose play is a kind of enjoyment. His style of play is very gorgeous, and it is precisely because of this that he has quickly accumulated many fans.

After scoring the goal, Rose didn't have any expression on his face. He just glanced at Long Rui and quickly retreated to the backcourt.

'Cold-blooded killer', Ross plays such a role, although he doesn't talk much, but he is fierce enough.

Looking back, the Cavaliers sent the baseline ball.

According to the past practice, at the beginning of the game, the ball will definitely hit Long Rui's hands, but today is different. With Curry joining, Long Rui began to play without the ball.

After Curry took the ball across the half court, Yi Jianlian on the inside immediately stepped forward and gave a screen.

After borrowing the cover, Curry got rid of Rose's marking and shot directly from outside the three-point line!

"Shh!"

The wonderful sound of brushing the net sounded, and Curry maintained the fiery touch of the pre-match warm-up, and scored a goal for the Cavaliers with a hollow three-pointer!

"Well done, Stephen!"

Immediately after Curry scored, Long Rui praised him!
As the leader of the team, Long Rui is very clear about what he should do on the court. When his teammates perform well, he must encourage them!
"This is Stephen Curry's first shot when he came to the Cavaliers. There was no pressure at all, and he ended the offense with his best three-pointer!"

"It looks like it's a good start, but I don't know if it can last forever!"

In the next round, Derrick Rose struck again.

He signaled his teammates to pull away, singled out Curry, and used his strong body to force a breakthrough again, but Yi Jianlian on the inside was already ready to supplement the defense.

When Rose jumped up and wanted to make a shot, Yi Jianlian's arm had already enveloped him.

Seeing this, Rose immediately changed his mind, made a wonderful pass, and sent the ball to the open Boozer. After receiving the ball, the latter also easily scored with a mid-range jumper!

"As expected of Rose, in that extreme state, he can still maintain his composure."

Long Rui secretly admired.

The aerial pass just now seemed ordinary, but it was actually very difficult.

Because Rose's breakthrough position is very deep, when he took off, there was almost no room for passing the ball, but with his excellent ability to stay in the air, he found the passing route and assisted Boozer to make the ball.

You must know that the reason why the Bulls can occupy the top position in the Eastern Conference this season is not due to Rose alone, but to them as a whole.

Just looking at the starting lineup, the Heat are undoubtedly the best team in the league, but overall, this Bulls team is no worse than the Heat.

From starters to regular substitutes, every player has good strength.

And this is where the Cavaliers are most tested. They must do their best defense. Once they miss someone, the opponent may find a chance to score.

Curry pushed the ball into the frontcourt, and the Cavaliers players began to run actively.

In charge of marking Long Rui is the Bulls' perimeter defender Keith Bogans.

This person's scoring ability is not strong, but his body is very strong and his movement is quite agile, so he often causes a lot of trouble for opponents on the defensive end.

Long Rui wanted to throw him off several times, but Bogans was able to keep up with him closely.

Curry's original intention was to give the ball to Long Rui, but seeing that he couldn't run out of space, he just transferred the ball to Yi Jianlian inside.

After Yi Jian connected the ball, he protected the ball, while Boozer was behind him.

Facing Boozer, Yi Jianlian has an absolute height advantage.

In the first game he joined the Cavaliers, he let people know his excellent shooting ability, but he is not just good at shooting, his inside skills are also very good.

Long Rui signaled his teammates to open up the space and give Yi Jianlian a spacious singles space.

Yi Jianlian first shook his shoulders, feeling Boozer's defensive center of gravity with his back.

After confirming the opponent's center of gravity, he immediately turned around in the opposite direction, passed him in one step, raised his long arm high, and completed the one-handed snap!
This ball is clean and neat, and the whole movement is like flowing water!
On the sidelines, the head coach of the Cavaliers, Byron Scott, was also quite surprised. He thought Yi Jianlian was just a big man with a good shot, but he didn't expect that his inside offensive skills were also very proficient!

Such an outstanding big man, even if he can't make the All-Star, can definitely sit in the team's starting lineup. Why hasn't he been able to play for so many years...

At this moment, Scott also feels a little sorry for Yi Jianlian. Fortunately, Long Ruihui knows the truth, otherwise Yi Jianlian may remain unknown until he withdraws from the NBA stage.

He felt that the Cavaliers were also extremely lucky. First they signed Long Rui, and then he brought such an outstanding big man.

This made the originally uncompetitive Cavaliers leap from the Eastern Conference to a strong contender for the playoffs!
