NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Outside the three-point line, Rondo signaled his teammates to run.

It is Stephen Curry who is responsible for defending him. For defending a player who has no shooting accuracy, you only need to prevent his breakthrough.

Therefore, Curry also deliberately put him two steps away.

The defense of the rest of the Cavaliers is very good, almost closely following the players who defend themselves.

This also caused the Celtics to not run their tactics well.

Seeing this, he glanced at the basket and directly chose to make a shot.

The [-]-pointer caught Stephen Curry a little off guard, which is not Rondo's style of play at all.

Not to mention Curry, even the other Celtics players were surprised.

But the ball has been shot, and Garnett and Skotic inside are ready to compete for offensive rebounds.

However, the next moment, the basketball fell into the basket precisely!

"WOW! No one thought that the first goal in the opening game came from Rondo's three-pointer. This is really rare!"

"This opening method is really surprising. It seems that Rondo feels good today. I don't know if Curry's defense will be adjusted next."

The two commentators on the sidelines said in surprise.

Curry glanced at Rondo and couldn't help frowning slightly, then he turned to look at Long Rui: "Do you want to change your defensive strategy?"

Long Rui shook his head: "No, although he made the shot, he's still not a shooter. If it's Ray Allen, it's a different story."

Long Rui firmly believed that there was nothing wrong with their defensive style. Even if Rondo made the first three-pointer, based on his understanding of Rondo, it was just a flash in the pan and nothing to be afraid of.

The really scary thing is his organizational ability. As long as he tries to limit his passing, Rondo's deterrence will be greatly reduced.

The Cavaliers sent the baseline ball, and Long Rui advanced with the ball.

It is 'Junzi Lei' who is in charge of defending Long Rui.

Ray Allen's physical fitness is also quite strong. He looks thin, but his muscles are not for nothing.

When he was young, his style of play was also very strong, but as he grew older, his physical fitness also declined to a certain extent. Compared with Long Rui, the current "Gentleman Lei" is much worse.

What's more, Ray Allen has never been a particularly good defensive player. His defensive level can only be regarded as above-average in the league, not reaching the level of Kobe and Wade.

And Long Rui's offense was very sharp, not to mention him, even Kobe and Wade could hardly defend Long Rui.

Therefore, relying on Ray Allen alone, it would be quite difficult to limit Long Rui's attack.

In the Cavaliers' first attack, Long Rui saw that the opponent did not intend to help defend, so he immediately signaled his teammates to open up space.

Facing Ray Allen's defense, Long Rui shook twice in a row, and then started instantly!

The extremely fast speed made Ray Allen feel powerless. He had already judged Long Rui's breakthrough route, but the speed under his feet couldn't keep up at all.

The moment Long Rui passed by, Ray Allen also immediately chased after him.

The inside 'Wolf King' Garnett came to make up the defense. In addition to Garnett, Pierce also rushed over.

Long Rui realized that the situation was wrong, it seemed to be a trap, it was like inviting the king into the urn, the next step was to catch the turtle in the urn!
Long Rui's face darkened. If he guessed correctly, this should be a deliberate arrangement by Rivers.

"It's not that simple to deal with me."

At the moment when the three surrounded him, Long Rui spotted Alonzo Ki's position through the crowd, and passed the ball decisively.

But just when Alonzo Key was ready to catch the ball, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him and intercepted the ball.

This man is Rondo. After completing the steal, he rushed to the frontcourt quickly, and then easily put the ball in.

Long Rui frowned, all of this was obviously the Celtics' careful layout.

They pushed Long Rui to a desperate situation first, and then deliberately exposed a flaw, making Long Rui mistakenly think that this is a few moments of passing, but in fact they have already arranged Rondo on this passing route to complete the steal.

It has to be said that this layout is very delicate, taking almost all factors into consideration.

The counter flashes.

5:0
Long Rui looked towards Rivers on the sidelines. At this time, Rivers was also looking at him, and the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised.

Seeing this expression, Long Rui was very upset. He insisted on killing the Celtics today.

On the sidelines, Coach Rivers was also very satisfied with his layout. He had been studying the tactics against Long Rui for the past few days.

And in the All-Star Game, he coached Long Rui again, and learned more about his offensive habits.

It was with these things that Rivers was able to arrange the exquisite layout just now.

Compared to Rivers, Cavaliers head coach Scott did not have such adequate preparations.

Because how to meet the enemy is almost no need for him to worry about. During the three days of training, Long Rui has already made full preparations, and he only made some small suggestions.

Long Rui's status in the team has already surpassed Scott. He is not only a player, but also a coach.

As a time traveler, he has a more advanced coaching philosophy, which Scott also has to accept. Although he is the head coach in name, he actually does the same thing as an assistant coach.

Facing each opponent, Long Rui almost always decides the tactics before the match, and rarely makes mistakes.

Therefore, the entire Cavaliers team respected Long Rui very much.

Looking back, it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack again.

After one trick, Long Rui also became more cautious. After all, the Celtics are a very united team, and the execution of the players is very good. If they are not careful, they will make mistakes and be found by them. Opportunity to fight back.

"Your layout is very good, but don't underestimate me too much."

Long Rui said with a cold expression.

"Let's talk about scoring this goal first."

Ray Allen was well aware of Long Rui's ability, but he did not back down, and took out the most serious defensive attitude.

But even if he tried his best to defend, it was still difficult to keep up with Long Rui's footsteps.

After continuous crotch dribbles, Long Rui took a step towards the right, and then quickly pulled back.

Between this advance and retreat, he immediately separated himself from Ray Allen.

Long Rui didn't give his opponent a chance to react, and after making room, he shot instantly!

"Shh!"

With a three-pointer, the Cavaliers scored the first goal of the game!
"Scoring a goal, what's the difficulty?"

Long Rui smiled confidently, which also made Ray Allen's expression stagnate.

He has been on the court for more than ten years, and he has never seen a player like Long Rui. His scoring is as easy as picking something out of a bag, as if he can score the ball as long as he wants.
