NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

On the bench, Long Rui had already thought of a countermeasure.

John Wall's ability is also outstanding among this group of rookies. He is extremely fast and has excellent ball handling ability.

As the No. [-] pick in Wall, he also made a good start.

So far he has averaged 16.4 points, 8.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game.

For a guard, 4.6 rebounds per game is not bad, let alone he is only a rookie.

The average of 8.3 assists per game is already an excellent vacant figure, which is also the root cause of Long Rui's reassurance to let him organize the offense.

After the timeout, both sides made some adjustments in terms of personnel.

In order to better consume Long Rui, the second-year team replaced Harden with Zhu Holiday!
Although Holiday's height is slightly shorter, his defense is much more "fierce" than Harden, and his speed is also faster than Harden.

"Long Rui's physical strength has dropped seriously, next, let us kill them all at once!"

Frank was a constant source of encouragement for the players.

Players from both sides returned to the court, and the first-year team sent a throw-in.

What Frank didn't expect was that John Wall took over the important task of controlling the ball. This change directly disrupted his plan.

The players on the second-year team did not expect that at this time, the opponent would feel relieved to replace the starting point of the attack.

Curry also frowned slightly. He glanced at Long Rui who had fallen to the bottom corner, but saw that the corner of Long Rui's mouth also raised a curve, which was exactly the same as Curry's previous expression!
Curry also felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he immediately said to his teammates: "Switch back to normal defense."

His four teammates are also very cooperative. After all, they were able to gain an advantage just now because of Curry's defensive deployment. Now they are naturally willing to trust him.

John Wall controls the ball on the outside. This is the first time he has the ball in this game, but it doesn't make him feel nervous. Instead, he behaves very old.

He kept signaling his teammates to move, and the person who knew Wall best was Cousins ​​inside.

He and Wall are both alumni at the University of Kentucky, so they are very familiar with each other's style of play.

Wall gave Cousins ​​a wink, and Cousins ​​immediately understood.

He first pretended to bring it up, as if to open up room for Wall to break through.

Later, Wall pointed to Griffin and then to Cousins' position.

Griffin immediately understood what he meant and hurried to Cousins' position.

This seemingly overlapping movement also makes the opponent feel baffled.

While Griffin was running, John Wall on the outside line also took action immediately. He ran towards the weak side with the ball, as if looking for a breakthrough position.

This move also attracted the other party's attention.

At this time, Griffin had come to Cousins' position and made a pick-and-roll for him, and Cousins ​​immediately ran back to the basket.

Blair, who was in charge of defending Cousins, wanted to chase him, but was blocked by Griffin.

Until this moment, the second-year team players understood John Wall's true intentions, but it was too late.

Wall threw the ball to the basket, Cousins ​​jumped and completed an alley dunk!

There was a loud noise, and the terrifying force made the basket tremble violently!

Although this was just a successful offense, it was a breakthrough for the first-year team.

You know, this offense is the first time they have cooperated tactically in this quarter.

And this also made the opponents sense the crisis. If this momentum cannot be cut off, their previous efforts against Long Rui may fall short.

Long Rui didn't participate in this complete attack, he just stood in the bottom corner to hold back the defense.

This is a situation he is happy to see. If it can be maintained, the scale of victory will tilt towards them.

Next, the second-year team's offense, they still played very patiently, but the first-year team once again strengthened their defense.

Long Rui glanced at Stephen Curry, who was in control of the ball, but secretly said in his heart: "I'll let you taste what it means to return the same way to the other!"

It turned out that during the timeout just now, Long Rui couldn't help but arrange a new offensive strategy, and also made adjustments to the defense.

He intends to imitate the opponent's defensive deployment for himself, and use this method to limit Curry!

Stephen Curry naturally wouldn't know that Long Rui was going to deal with him like this.

Outside the three-point line, Curry observed the situation and wanted to pass the ball, but he suddenly found that there were people staring at his passing route, and there were no good passing opportunities at all.

In front of him, John Wall stared at him.

Curry is not Long Rui. Even though his breakthrough skills are good, but his physical talent is limited, he is not as sharp as Long Rui.

And Wall's physical fitness is very strong and he has good defensive ability. It is still quite difficult for Curry to score in front of him.

Curry observed again for a few seconds, but he couldn't find a chance to play the ball, and the attack time was about to run out, so he had to choose to play alone.

He tried to break through Wall's defense, but failed twice in a row.

In desperation, he could only stare at Wall's block to complete a three-point shot.

This ball completely deviated from the track, the basketball hit the left border and popped out, Cousins ​​got stuck in the basket and took the rebound!

"This game is really interesting. The first-year team completely reproduced the opponent's defense and successfully limited their offense."

Filled with a light smile.

"Curry doesn't have the breakthrough ability of Long Rui, especially John Wall who is defending him. Judging by his size, he is a lot stronger than him, and Wall is very fast."

"It's too difficult for Curry to play like Long Rui just now!"

Zhang Weiping also immediately analyzed.

On the sidelines, Frank, the head coach of the second-year team, watched this scene, and his heart sank slightly.

This pause made the first-year team look like a freshman, and the whole situation changed all of a sudden.

In the next few rounds, Wall used his abilities to the extreme. He used his tacit understanding with Cousins ​​to score goals continuously on the offensive end.

On the other hand, the second-year team was struggling. When their operation was interrupted, no one was able to stand up and score steadily.

In just 3 minutes, the point difference between the two teams was opened to more than 10 points.

There are still 4 minutes left in the game, if no solution can be found, then the outcome of this game will be decided.

All the fans are waiting for Frank to find a solution to the problem and make the game more exciting.

Unfortunately, this expectation was not realized.

After the change, the first-year team was in full swing and won the game in one go!
