NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

In the training field, Paul George was doing all kinds of weird postures, which puzzled the other players of the Cavaliers. Only Long Rui understood what was going on.

"Yi, you and Long Rui have the best relationship, do you know what they are doing?"

Curry asked very curiously.

Yi Jianlian looked at it for a while, then shook his head: "I'm not too sure about it. Anyway, Long Rui asked him to do this, so there is a certain reason for it, so we don't have to ask."

In the training ground, all the players are training seriously, and occasionally someone will glance at Paul George.

Half a day of training has passed, and tomorrow they will fly to Chicago to challenge the Bulls led by Derrick Rose.

This season's Bulls, under the leadership of 'Rose', have won consecutive victories, and even suppressed the Heat in terms of record. They are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference, and they are considered a very strong opponent.

This battle is also the first battle for the Cavaliers after signing, and it is very important for them!

Whether the Cavaliers complete the transition after signing in depends on the results of this battle.

Although these two signings are not earthquake-level deals, but because of the existence of Long Rui, every move of the Cavaliers will become the focus of the major media.

Many media believe that the Cavaliers' signings are very irrational. After all, Antawn Jamison, the team's second-leading scorer, has a wealth of experience, and he has proven himself.

Using him and a future first-round pick in exchange for a Stephen Curry whose future is still uncertain is a poor choice.

Therefore, many media are not optimistic that the Cavaliers will change.

Some media even predict that the Cavaliers after the signings are not as good as the previous lineup.

All kinds of doubtful news came out very quickly. After Long Rui heard about it, he dismissed it. He would use actions to crush these remarks.

……

Chicago, United Center!

The arena was full of seats, and the fans had been looking forward to this game for a long time.

This will be a matchup between two of the best young players in the league!

Needless to say, Long Rui's current popularity, besides him, there is another young player who is also famous.

He is Derrick Rose, known as the 'Phoenix City Rose'!
Before Long Rui appeared, he was once thought to be the youngest MVP in NBA history!

So far this season, the 22-year-old "Phoenix City Rose" has performed really well. If he can continue this state, he is likely to be elected as the MVP of this season.

In fact, in terms of statistics, James is also not bad, but because he left the Cavaliers, it brought too many negative effects on him, which has a fatal impact on the selection of MVP.

But now, Long Rui's sudden appearance has obviously become the biggest spoiler.

Therefore, 'Phoenix City Rose' Derek Rose also regards Long Rui as his biggest competitor.

The outcome of this battle is extremely important to both of them.

In the locker room, the morale of the players of the two teams was high.

Especially the Cavaliers, they did not fall into depression because of the loss to the Heat. After three days of rest, they regained their state again, and stepped into the United Center with the belief of winning!
A moment later, players from both sides appeared on the stage!

The most eye-catching players on the court are undoubtedly Long Rui and Rose.

It's just that today is the home court of the Bulls, so Rose naturally received more attention than Long Rui.

This was the first time the two met, and Ross also took the initiative to greet Long Rui.

"Long, meeting you for the first time, you make my blood boil!"

Ross and Long Rui are both young, at the age of youthful vigor, so naturally no one will accept the other.

"Unfortunately, tonight you are doomed to hate!"

Long Rui's tone was very flat, but Rose could feel the strong fighting spirit in his heart.

The two teams started the pre-match warm-up, and the players found their hands.

This is the first time Long Rui has fought side by side with Curry, so he is also interested.

When he was in Golden State that day, he tried a three-pointer with Curry, and finally he lost to Curry by one goal.

Thinking of this past event, Long Rui immediately walked towards Curry. He pointed to the basket and said, "Stephen, are you interested in another match?"

Hearing this, Curry smiled slightly, he naturally understood Long Rui's meaning, and responded immediately: "I'm afraid you will lose too badly!"

As soon as the words fell, Curry raised his hand casually, and the first three-pointer was a steady hit!

"As expected of Curry!"

Long Rui secretly admired, then raised his eyebrows and said: "Not bad!"

As he said that, the ball in his hand was shot, and it was also a hollow hit!
The rise of these two shots has continuously increased the distance of their shots.

This scene also immediately attracted the attention of many people, including the Bulls players.

What was originally an unremarkable warm-up before the game was turned into a three-point contest by the two of them!
Derrick Rose looked at the shooting of the two and was also very surprised.

Whether it is Long Rui or Curry, the shooting ability of these two people is better than their own.

However, Rose was not shocked by this. After all, his strength has never been projection, but the extremely sharp breakthrough!

Derrick Rose is definitely one of the most entertaining players in today's league. His change of direction can be exaggerated without slowing down, and ordinary defenders can't stop his breakthrough at all!

And he also relied on this technology to become a frequent visitor to the NBA's top ten balls of the day!

After the warm-up, the two teams offered their starting lineups.

Bulls: Derry Kroos, Keith Bogans, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah
Cavaliers: Stephen Curry, Long Rui, Alonzo Key, Yi Jianlian, Anderson Varejao

The Bulls' starting lineup has not changed in any way, and the Cavaliers have sent a new starting lineup due to signing problems!
Because in the previous game against the Heat, Yi Jianlian's outstanding performance made Byron Scott look at him with admiration.

Therefore, in this game, Yi Jianlian also replaced JJ Hickson and became the team's starting power forward!

"This is the first game after the Cavaliers trade, and their head coach also sent a new starting lineup!"

"However, in my opinion, the entire lineup will not be greatly improved, but problems will arise due to the running-in of the team."

"The strength of this Bulls team this season is unquestionable. It will not be easy for the Cavaliers to win this game. Maybe they will play even harder than the last game!"

The commentator on the sidelines gave his own analysis.

Since they are qualified to work as commentators, they naturally have certain opinions on the analysis of the game, but these are just personal opinions and do not represent everyone.

"Dudu!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially begins!
