NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

On the East bench, coach Rivers looked at the Big Three of the Celtics, and then turned his attention to the Big Three of the Heat.

"LeBron, after the timeout, you three come on."

In fact, Rivers also wants the Big Three of the Celtics to play longer, because for these three, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to enter the All-Star.

But in order to be able to win, he still decided to replace the Heat's Big Three who are in full swing.

These three are all in their prime, and they are obviously stronger than the combination of the Big Three of the Green Army.

Adding Long Rui and 'Warcraft' Howard, this lineup can be called a dream, almost impeccable!
The West also made adjustments, and Popovich replaced the starting lineup again.

After the timeout, the two sides returned to the court, and the fans at the scene seemed to feel a strong fighting spirit.

Bosh sent a sideline ball and it went directly to Long Rui's hands.

Rivers originally wanted the Heat's Big Three as the core to launch the offense, but James offered to let Long Rui lead the offense.

He had played against Long Rui and knew that Long Rui had excellent organizational skills, so he was relieved to hand the ball into Long Rui's hands.

James has a very high golf quotient, he knows how to make good use of every point, and Rivers also followed his advice.

In the first half of the second quarter, Long Rui had almost no chance to perform on the court, and all the offenses were completed by the Big Three of the Green Army.

At this moment, he was re-entrusted with important tasks, and he immediately showed a serious attitude.

Before the start of the game, Long Rui said that he wanted to win the MVP of the All-Star Game, so he must go all out now.

Outside the three-point line, Long Rui faced Kobe again, but instead of looking for singles opportunities, he organized his teammates.

It is undeniable that the deterrence of the Heat's Big Three on the court, especially Wade and James playing off the ball at the same time, has achieved the ultimate containment of the opponent's defense.

As long as the other party is not paying attention, the two will immediately find an opportunity to cut in.

The 'Dragon King' Bosh has become the central axis of this lineup. His position on the field is very critical, and all offenses revolve around him.

When Long Rui gave him the ball, he also started running immediately.

Howard is always ready to 'eat pie' in the paint.

Long Rui, Wade, and James ran at the same time, interspersed back and forth, directly disrupting the opponent's defense.

Seeing this, Bosh immediately passed the ball, and Wade scored easily after receiving the ball!
"It was a beautiful shot!"

"This is simply impossible to defend. These three are extremely fast, have good physical fitness, and run at the same time. This kind of deterrence is absolutely unparalleled!"

In the CV-5 live broadcast room, Zhang Weiping and Yang Yi also sighed.

On the sidelines, Popovich's complexion was also a bit unsightly. Even he felt a little dazzled by the attack from the Eastern team just now.

This is the display of absolute talent. Compared with the starting lineup in the West, the opponents are obviously younger.

In the next round, Long Rui judged the opponent's passing route, flew to steal, and played a fast break again!
Under the impact of these two waves, the western troops began to fall into a disadvantage.

"Don't worry, play steadily."

Popovich kept shouting to the court.

Although the western team had a feeling of being at a disadvantage, they were not ordinary people and quickly adjusted back.

Paul controlled the rhythm from the outside, and the perfect tactical coordination was once again shown. He found an opportunity to pass the ball. Duncan used his excellent inside skills to shake Howard away, and also scored the ball to stop the decline for the team.

67:63
With the last 3 minutes left in the second quarter, the Eastern team led by 4 points.

During this period of time, under the leadership of Long Rui, the Eastern team's offensive rhythm was very fast, and the number of shots also increased accordingly, completing a lead in scoring!
James' intuition was not wrong. Although there was Paul, the field control master, Long Rui was not bad at all.

Long Rui quickly pushed the ball forward, stretched out his hand and gestured continuously, signaling his teammates to move.

At this moment, he made a sudden shot from two meters away from the three-point line!
"Shh!"

The basketball made a hollow hit and added 3 points!
With the hit of this three-pointer, the point difference was opened to 7 points.

Kobe, who was in charge of defending Long Rui, couldn't help frowning. Even though he was experienced, he was still deceived by Long Rui...

In fact, Kobe cannot be blamed for this. Almost no outside defender has this awareness. After all, at such a long distance, no one will shoot unless there is insufficient time.

But Long Rui is an outlier. His three-point shooting range is very long, and his shooting percentage is not low.

Looking at the entire league, the only person who can shoot three-pointers like Long Rui is his teammate Stephen Curry, but he rarely shoots, after all, such a distance is not safe.

After Long Rui scored the goal, Popovich also stared at him for dozens of seconds.

He is a traditional coach, so he doesn't pay much attention to three-pointers, and he rarely arranges three-pointers.

But the appearance of Long Rui made him question his point of view.

"Kobe, stick him up."

Popovich immediately issued orders to Bryant.

Kobe also nodded, he will never make the same mistake a second time.

In the following time, Long Rui received special care from 'Kobe', as soon as he passed halftime, Kobe would immediately stand in front of him.

And this is also the first time Kobe has used such an oppressive defense against a player.

Under such a defense, it was difficult for Long Rui to have a chance to attack.

He simply handed the ball to James and let James take on the important task of organizing the team's offense.

The frightening thing about this lineup of the Eastern team is that they have multiple starting points for offense.

James also has excellent organizational skills and can perfectly play the role of the team's engine.

On the other hand, in the West, apart from Paul, there is no second excellent organizer in this starting lineup.

Kobe has a certain organizational ability, but he is better at offense than organization.

Therefore, once Paul is restricted and their offense flows, problems are likely to arise.

In the final attack of the first half, the ball was in the hands of the Western team.

Paul has the ball on the perimeter with [-] seconds left in the game and 'The Flash' Wade is guarding him.

These two are both the 'Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust', and they know each other very well.

Facing Wade's defense, Paul knew that it was difficult for him to have a chance to break through, so he was also looking for his teammates and wanted to find the best passing point.

Wade had already guessed his thoughts, and he began to press Paul constantly, trying to make Paul's mistakes.

Under such pressure, Paul has almost no chance to observe the court.

The game time is about to run out, so in desperation, Paul can only make a strong shot by himself.
