NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

On the court, Bogans received Thibodeau's instructions, immediately gave up Curry, and rushed forward to double-team Long Rui with Rose.

But this fell right into Long Rui's trap, and this was what he wanted.

When Bogans came to double-team, Long Rui decisively distributed the ball to Curry who was open.

The latter did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and hit a three-pointer with a knife!
"This is really a stupid decision. Stephen Curry is one of the most accurate outside shooters in the league, and his touch in this game is very hot. Preventing him from shooting open three-pointers is tantamount to asking for death!"

"It can't be said that way. Coach Thibodeau is also helpless. After all, Long Rui's strength is there. It is difficult for Rose to guard him alone. Instead of letting him break through the restricted area, it is better to take a gamble. After all No matter how high the shooting percentage from the outside line is, it will not be higher than the basket."

Regarding the defense this time, the two commentators gave their own opinions, and what they said was somewhat reasonable.

After watching this attack, many people began to realize the terrifying power of the backcourt combination of Long Rui and Curry.

Previously, before Stephen Curry came to the Cavaliers, the head coaches of most teams would double-team Long Rui's defense.

But now it seems that it is no longer possible to double-team him easily, otherwise Curry will use one after another precise three-pointers to give them a head-on blow!
In the next round, the Cavaliers completed a successful defense. After Varejao got a defensive rebound, he handed the ball to Long Rui again.

Long Rui used the same tactics as before, and after picking and rolling with Curry, he formed a matchup with Derrick Rose.

Bogans glanced at Thibodeau on the sidelines, and at this moment, Coach Thibodeau also fell silent. He didn't dare to let Bogans go up to double-team at will.

Long Rui signaled his teammates to pull away, one-on-one 'Fengcheng Rose'!
"Your breakthrough is certainly strong, but mine is not bad either!"

As soon as the words fell, Long Rui instantly started!

Derrick Rose's speed is the best in the league, but Long Rui is not much inferior.

He stepped forward, followed by a super large 'crossover', passing Ross cleanly!

Qiao Jinnoah, who was on the inside line, hurried forward to make up defense, but Long Rui was happy and fearless.

He rushed inside and threw his entire body into the air, and Noah also immediately jumped up to block the shot.

Facing the attack from the long arm, Long Rui's body folded the lever in the air, and while avoiding the block, he successfully put the ball into the basket!
This ball is completely Derrick Rose's way of playing, but Long Rui's body looks more stretched, and the gorgeousness of his movements is not inferior to Rose's!

During the competition, what Long Rui likes to do the most is to defeat the opponent with his strengths. This will give him extreme pleasure, and at the same time, it can cause the biggest blow to the opponent's heart!

Rose looked a little astonished, and the scene just now was still playing back in his mind.

Long Rui used his stunt in front of his face, which made him feel ashamed, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

After all, Rose is a young player, not yet psychologically mature, and now he just wants to save face.

Next, when the Bulls attacked, Rose continued to face Long Rui with the ball.

He also signaled his teammates to pull away, he just wanted to defeat Long Rui.

"I seem to smell a strong smell of gunpowder. Looking at Derek Rose's eyes, this is a killer!"

"It's rare to see someone who can piss off Derrick Rose, don't know what kind of show this 'angry rose' will put on!"

As soon as the words fell, Ross launched an attack on Long Rui!
He still wanted to use his speed to forcibly break through Long Rui's defense, but this time he failed to do so.

Long Rui successfully predicted his breakthrough route, and blocked his breakthrough one step ahead of him.

Seeing this, Rose was unavoidably impatient, but he made a mistake in his busy schedule. He changed direction in front of his body and dribbled the ball directly to his feet, rolling out of bounds!
"What? What's the situation? Under Long Rui's strict defense, Ross made such a low-level mistake?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!"

The two commentators were also very surprised!
You know, Rose's ability to combine man and ball is definitely at the top of the league. With his ball sense, such low-level mistakes will hardly occur, at least not before.

On the sidelines, Thibodeau looked at his beloved disciple, and hurriedly reminded: "Don't worry, take your time, this is not what you should behave."

Listening to Thibodeau's words, Rose also took a deep breath. After calming down his impatience, he immediately threw himself into defense.

Although he calmed down temporarily, it was still quite difficult to defend against Long Rui's attack.

Not to mention him, even Bogans, the best perimeter defender in their team, can hardly restrain Long Rui.

In the next 2 minutes, Long Rui took over the Cavaliers' offense.

He shot from inside and outside and scored seven points in a row. Neither Rose nor Bogans could guard him.

The Cavaliers also relied on Long Rui's outstanding performance during this period to widen the point difference to 5 points.

With more than one minute left in the first quarter, both sides still have two chances to attack.

After receiving the rebound, the Cavaliers moved forward quickly. Long Rui rode all the way to the basket, and the Bulls shrank with five players!
Seeing this, Long Rui immediately gave the ball to Yi Jianlian who had already ambushed in the bottom corner.

Although Long Rui was on the rise during this period of time, his mind remained calm all the time. He was very clear about what to do and what not to do on the court!

After receiving Long Rui's pass, Yi Jianlian made some adjustments, and then shot immediately!

The fiery touch is still there, and Yi Jianlian also hit his first three-pointer of the game!

After the Cavaliers made several offenses in a row, the Bulls were obviously overwhelmed. Their defensive deployment was abruptly disrupted by Long Rui alone, which indirectly affected their offense.

First, Derrick Rose's proud breakthrough was restricted by Long Rui, and then their entire offense began to lag.

They can only forcefully complete the shot by relying on the touch, but such a result is destined to lead to a decline in their scoring success rate.

In the last two rounds of the first quarter, the Bulls did not score a single point, while the Cavaliers scored consecutively with their excellent defensive counterattack.

"Dudu!"

The referee's whistle blows and the first quarter ends.

The excellent performance of the Cavaliers at the end allowed them to directly take a double-digit lead!

35:24
The changes in the Cavaliers are surprising. You must know that they are not facing a weak team, but the Bulls who are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference. No one thought that the Cavaliers could play so well!
