NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Three days passed by in a hurry, and in the three days, Long Rui's life was two points and one line.

During the day, I spend almost all of it on the training ground, and at night I go back to the gym to rest.

After he came back that day, Ran Ruoxue did all the cooking, while he was in charge of washing the dishes, the division of labor was very clear!
There are more and more topics between the two of them, Long Rui will tell Ran Ruoxue about the daily training situation.

And Ran Ruoxue was talking about some work problems, or some gossip news about the United States.

"Ruoxue, don't leave me a meal tonight, there is a competition!"

On the phone, Long Rui's voice was very soft.

"Well! Good! Then you have to work hard!"

Ran Ruoxue responded obediently. After hanging up the phone, she immediately turned on the computer and searched for today's game.

……

The Quicken Loans Arena was full of audience seats. With his performance in the All-Star Game, Long Rui once again attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

Today, even if his fans are not as good as Kobe, James and others, but among the active players, they are enough to rank in the top ten!

In the locker room, the Cavaliers showed a strong fighting spirit. The week-long All-Star gave everyone a good rest time.

They have long been eagerly looking forward to this battle with the Celtics.

The current ranking of the Eastern Conference teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers are ranked third, while the Celtics are ranked fourth.

The difference in wins between the two teams is very subtle, only 0.5 games away, so this game is also very important.

If the Celtics win the game, they will return to third place.

Once the Cavaliers win the game, they will widen the gap with the Celtics.

"Long Rui! You have to bring out the state of the All-Star Game and kill them!"

Stephen Curry said excitedly.

When he first came to the Cavaliers, he was not very confident, but now, he has seen the hope of the Cavaliers from Long Rui, and he has become more confident as he plays, and his performance on the court is also getting better and better.

With the Warriors, Curry averaged only 18.6 points per game this season.

Now, his scoring average has risen to 20.8 points.

In addition to Curry, Yi Jianlian has also made a leap forward.

Before coming to the Cavaliers, he averaged only 5.6 points per game, and now he has increased to 12.3 points.

In addition to scoring, the average rebounds per game has also been greatly improved, able to score 8.7 rebounds.

And this is just his comprehensive data. If you just look at the data after seeing the Cavaliers, you will be even more surprised.

Averaged 16.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, and played 20+10 performances in many games.

All these changes are due to Long Rui's trust in him and his reasonable use.

Yi Jianlian's stats surprised many media and fans.

But Long Rui was not surprised at all. Yi Jianlian has been in the NBA for more than five years, and he has long been used to the rhythm of the game.

As long as you know how to use him, you will get immediate results!

"Today's game, I will make them look old."

Long Rui also showed a strong desire for victory.

If the Celtics Big Three are still at their peak, then he is not sure that he will win.

But today is different from the past, even though they still have a certain power, they are not as good as before.

After a while, players from both sides entered the field and began to warm up before the game.

"Long Rui, we meet again. Your performance in the All-Star Game was indeed outstanding, but today, we will teach you a lesson."

Pierce walked up to Long Rui and uttered harsh words.

'Truth' Paul Pierce is definitely a hardcore player, he never fears any strong enemy on the field, this is his spirit.

And he is also a player with a great story. He once had a dispute with someone in a nightclub and was stabbed 11 times.

Many people thought that he would die just like that, but no one expected that after only one month, he would return to the arena and perform well.

Through this incident, many fans have firmly remembered him.

Faced with Pierce's provocation, Long Rui shrugged his shoulders: "You'd better show a level beyond your usual level, or you will definitely be kicked by me!"

Pierce and Long Rui are both enemies and friends now. After the All-Star Game, Pierce is also very sure of Long Rui's strength.

He has never admired James, but he admires Long Rui very much.

After a while, the warm-up was over, and the two sides revealed their starting lineups.

Cavaliers starters: Stephen Curry, Long Rui, Alonzo Key, Yi Jianlian, Anderson Varejao

Celtics starters: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Nenad Skotic
Judging from the lineups of both sides, the Celtics seem to be stronger.

But as Long Rui thought, the Big Three of the Green Army are no longer at their peak, and their power has declined.

The reason why they can still become a strong team, in addition to the Big Three, is actually the most important thing is their "Big Four" Rajon Rondo.

Rondo is not a player who is good at offense. His strongest point is his organizational ability.

With him on the court, he will often play some unexpected tactics for the opponent.

It is no exaggeration to say that Rondo's organizational ability is not inferior to that of the active No. [-] point guard Paul.

The average of 11.2 assists per game this season is the best proof. You must know that Paul averaged only 9.8 assists per game this season.

Of course, this is because in addition to organizing, Paul is also responsible for scoring, which will more or less affect his assist data.

Compared with Paul, Rondo is a pure organizer, he does not need to take on the burden of offense, and this is where the Celtics are so good.

As long as Rondo is on the court, they win most of the time and rarely lose points.

Obviously, Long Rui has already made preparations before the game. What they have to do in this game is not to limit the performance of the Big Three of the Green Army, but to limit Rondo.

If you do this well, you will have a high probability of controlling the trend of the game!

"Dudu!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Varejao and Garnett make a jump ball in the middle circle.

The referee threw the ball, and Garnett stretched his arms lightly, dialed the ball down, and won the first wave of offensive rights for the Celtics!

The camera lingers on Doc Rivers' face for a few seconds after the game begins.

He coached Long Rui in the All-Star Game. Although it was only a game, he also had a certain understanding of Long Rui.

In today's game, he also took special care of Long Rui, because he knew how powerful Long Rui was!

In the first attack on the field, the ball was handed over to Rondo, his eyes kept scanning and observing the audience, and the aura of the master of ball control was immediately revealed!
