NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"Dudu!"

The referee blew his whistle, announcing the arrival of the decisive moment.

The Eastern team sent a sideline ball, and Long Rui took control of the ball.

When this most lethal lineup returned to the field, there was a burst of cheers in the audience.

In the first attack after returning, the East team showed full vitality.

Both James and Wade kept running on the field, and 'Dragon King' Bosh continued to serve as his pivotal role.

Long Rui gave the ball to Bosh, and then used the cover of 'Warcraft' Howard to kill the inside.

Bosh threw the ball directly into Long Rui's hands, and Long Rui took advantage of the situation and threw the ball to the basket.

This highly deceptive shot appears to be a shot, but is actually a pass.

The basketball rebounded after hitting the board, and James rushed out from the diagonal thrust, leaped high, and completed the dunk!
This attack only took ten seconds.

After the East team replaced this lineup, the offensive tactics changed again, and the dazzling fast-paced offense was once again displayed.

The western team still chooses to attack in a steady and steady position. Paul and Ginobili, as the driving force of the team, began to sort out the cooperation between teammates.

They can also find open shot opportunities through movement.

In the two or three rounds when they returned to the court, although the Eastern team solved the offensive problem, it was still difficult to defend the Western team.

It is almost impossible to catch up with the score so much, they need to play a wave of offensive climax.

"We have to change the defense and start with the defense."

Long Rui said to the four teammates.

James also nodded: "What are you going to do?"

This question surprised Long Rui. He thought that James would make arrangements by himself, but he didn't expect him to ask himself.

Long Rui thought for a while, and then slowly said: "I'll defend Paul, LeBron, you go to restrict Ginobili, let Dwyane go to watch Wade."

The purpose of this arrangement is very clear, which is to simultaneously limit the two offensive starting points of the western team, destroy their tactical coordination, and force them to engage in one-on-one singles.

Long Rui is 15 centimeters taller than Paul, and his defense against Paul can greatly interfere with the opponent's passing vision.

The same goes for having James guard Ginobili.

As for letting Wade defend Kobe, the two are players in the same position, and there is not much difference.

Long Rui's idea was immediately recognized by James and others.

"Okay, just do as you say."

The Western team sent the baseline ball, and Paul took the ball across the half court as always.

But when he was about to organize, he found that Wade who was defending him was replaced by Long Rui, who was taller.

At this moment, Long Rui's legs were slightly bent, and his arms were outstretched, blocking Paul's body, and would stretch out his hands to interfere from time to time.

Seeing this, Paul frowned slightly, knowing that the opponent was planning to strengthen the defense.

Ginobili also hurried around and completed a hand-to-hand pass with Paul.

But what he didn't expect was that the person defending him was not Wade, but LeBron James!
This can't help but surprise him. If facing Wade, he still has a certain vision, but facing James, he will become very difficult.

Whether it is height or speed, James is better than him, and for a while, he has no countermeasures.

He wanted to pass the ball back to Paul, but he took a look at Paul's position and gave up the idea immediately.

The current Paul is even more uncomfortable than him. Long Rui has been sticking to Paul, never giving him a chance to catch the ball.

"Pass me the ball."

At this time, a voice came from Ginobili's ear, it was Kobe.

He stuck Wade behind him at the free throw line and made a gesture of reaching for the ball.

Ginobili also hurriedly gave the ball to Kobe with a high profile.

Offensive rotations are limited, and the only way they can score now is on isolations.

The time to test Wade has come. He must defend Kobe, not to mention defending every ball, at least defend [-]% of the offense.

Wade's defensive ability is not bad, he is the best shot-blocking player among defenders, and it is not easy for Kobe to single him.

After receiving the ball, Kobe sat on Wade with his back and kept pushing.

The confrontation between these two people often becomes the focus.

They already knew each other very well, and Wade also tried his best to carry Kobe.

As far as the physical fitness of the two is concerned, Kobe is more coordinated, while Wade's explosive power is stronger.

It is very difficult for Kobe to push Wade.

Wade kept his center of gravity very low, and Kobe didn't have much effect after three pushes.

There was not much time left in the attack, and after another push, Kobe suddenly had a plan.

He turned around directly with the ball and made an action to shoot.

Seeing that there was not much time to attack, Wade took off to block the shot.

In the next breath, he saw that Kobe hadn't jumped, so he knew it was a trick, and hurriedly withdrew his hand to block the shot, trying to avoid Kobe.

But helplessly, it was still a step too late. After waiting for Wade to take off, Kobe also jumped up and shot immediately. His body actively leaned towards Wade, and at the same time he threw the ball.

"Dudu."

The whistle sounded and Wade made a foul shot.

Fortunately, Kobe failed to make a shot this time and missed the chance to score 2+1.

After landing, Wade looked annoyed and shook his head constantly.

Long Rui walked up to him: "It's just a ball, it's no big deal, after all, he is Kobe."

"I know, the next ball, I will guard him."

Wade responded seriously.

At the free throw line, Kobe exhaled a breath, adjusted his state, and made two free throws!

Next, when the Eastern team attacked, Long Rui shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line, scored a three-pointer, and the point difference returned to single digits.

In the next round, when the western team attacked, Long Rui insisted on his defensive philosophy and forced Kobe to play singles again.

On the sidelines, Popovich looked at the situation on the field and couldn't help worrying.

He is well aware of the importance of rotation to offense, and now they cannot perform normal rotation. Even if they rely on their personal ability to score the ball, this is by no means a long-term solution.

Just when he was worried, Kobe faced Wade's defense and chose to shoot again.

This time, Wade never gave Kobe another chance and successfully defended the ball.

After Howard took off the rebound, the Eastern team advanced at full speed.

Long Rui, James, and Wade, these three 'sharp knives' rushed forward at the same time, they couldn't be stopped at all.

Between offense and defense, successfully scored the ball!
The point difference was further narrowed, and the fans seemed to see the hope of overtaking!
"This defensive deployment makes it very difficult for the Western team."

"Maybe Popovich didn't expect that the two offensive starting points on the court are restricted by the opponent!"
