NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

The Heat at the beginning of the third quarter only had James as a strong point, while the Cavaliers were led by Long Rui.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, this is a strong duel between James and Long Rui.

The former leader of the Cavaliers played against the current leader, which can be described as full of highlights.

In the first attack of the second half, James firmly controlled the ball.

Judging from previous games, when James leads the team alone, he is always used to connecting the team's offense.

When the team really can't start the situation, he will start his own scoring mode.

But today is the exact opposite. James showed a strong desire to attack at this moment.

Facing Jamison's defense, he used his strong body combined with terrifying impact to break through Jamison's defense in an instant, easily completed a layup, and continued to expand the score advantage for the Heat.

Although the entire Quicken Loans Arena fans booed when he got the ball, these things have no effect on James at all, and he has obviously adapted to this environment.

After the Cavaliers sent the baseline ball, Long Rui slowly pushed forward.

Although he is fourteen points behind now, he is not impatient.

Long Rui knew very well that the more unfavorable the situation was, the more he had to remain calm. Only in this way could a comeback be possible.

He controlled the ball steadily on the outside, and then gestured to Yi Jianlian, who immediately understood Long Rui's intentions.

Yi Jianlian began to take the initiative to move, using Jamison at a 45-degree angle on the left to set up a screen for himself, and then ran towards the bottom corner.

At the same time, Long Rui suddenly launched an attack on the outside.

It has to be said that Long Rui's ability to attract defense is really outstanding.

The moment he started it, two Heat players immediately stepped forward to flank him, and the other three all looked at him.

Seeing this, Long Rui stared at the direction of the basket, pulled it up to make a jumper, and the two defensive players who pinched him immediately blocked the shot.

However, at the moment of the shot, the basketball did not fly to the basket, but went towards the bottom corner, and fell into Yi Jianlian's hands precisely.

By the time the Heat players reacted, it was too late to make up the defense, so they could only watch Yi Jianlian take the shot calmly!
"Three points hit!"

"The Cavaliers responded with a three-pointer at the beginning of the second half!"

"If I remember correctly, this should be Yi's fourth three-pointer in this game!"

"This is really rare, and there are very few big men in the entire league who hit so many three-pointers in a game!"

Counting the three-pointer scored just now, Yi Jianlian has scored 16 points and 5 rebounds in this game.

If he can maintain this state, this game may have a chance to get his sixth 6+20 double-double in the NBA.

On the sidelines, Spoelstra, the head coach of the Heat, couldn't help but look at Yi Jianlian more.

He set up a lot of tactics against Long Rui in this game, but he never expected that this Huaxia player named Yi would play so well.

This was something he didn't expect, and he didn't make any preparations. After all, this was Yi Jianlian's first game after being traded to the Cavaliers.

None of the Heat's players on the court can match up with Yi Jianlian. The tallest player on their court is Juwan Howard, but he is only 206 centimeters tall.

And he has also reached the end of his career, his feet move slowly, and he can't keep up with Yi Jianlian's footsteps at all.

In the next round, the Cavaliers also double-teamed James.

Long Rui saw the timing, rushed out from the diagonal thrust and activated his talent skill 'Swallows Copy Water', cut the ball quickly and ruthlessly, and then sent a long pass to Yi Jianlian in the frontcourt.

After Ah Lian received the ball, he jumped lightly and dunked the ball in!

"It's the cooperation of Long and Yi again!"

"These two players from China have a perfect understanding!"

The commentator on the sidelines was also very excited.

I thought that during this period of time, it would be a personal duel between James and Long Rui, but no one thought that Yi Jianlian would stand up and intervene, disturbing the much-anticipated show!

After being scored two consecutive goals by the Cavaliers, James also looked a little embarrassed, especially when he was intercepted by Long Rui just now, which made him very upset.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and pushed the ball to the frontcourt.

James observed it, then motioned for his teammates to pull away, creating space for himself to attack.

He suddenly found that the defender standing in front of him was no longer Jamieson, but Long Rui, which immediately aroused his fighting spirit!

Last week, without Long Rui, he would have been selected as the Eastern Conference Player of the Week without any suspense, but this honor was taken away from him by Long Rui.

"Very good, you finally dare to stand up!"

James rarely provokes his opponents, and usually uses his strength to defeat his opponents.

But when facing Long Rui, he couldn't help making a provocative cry!
