Chapter 249 Finals G2
"Long Rui, does George really need to recuperate so long for his injury?"
In the Cavaliers training hall, Yi Jianlian asked solemnly.
"What do you think?"
Long Rui responded casually.
Then the corner of his mouth raised a curve: "If he is handed over to those quack doctors, he may not be able to recover in a week."
"But in my hands, he will miss up to two games."
"Two! Really?"
Hearing these words, Yi Jianlian suddenly became energetic.
"Of course, don't you still trust me?"
Long Rui shrugged. He was used to such injuries and handled them with ease.
"That's great, we still have a chance!"
Yi Jianlian said excitedly.
"Hurry up and train. Tomorrow is the second game. George is not here. You also need to take on more responsibilities."
When it came to the competition, Long Rui's attitude immediately became serious.
Yi Jianlian's performance in the first game of the finals was indeed substandard, and he did not play his own form at all.
His ability is indeed not as good as Nowitzki, but he will not be completely suppressed.
"Tomorrow's game, I will do my best."
……
The day was spent in training, and in the afternoon of the second day, the Cavaliers arrived at the venue early and began to warm up.
Losing Paul George in this battle will become extremely difficult for them. If they want to win the game, they must guarantee an absolutely outstanding performance.
The Mavericks also came to the venue early today, and they are bound to win this game.
The Cavaliers lost Paul George and lost an important scoring point. They must seize this opportunity to tie the big score.
Because the finals adopt a 2-3-2 format, after this game, they will go to Dallas and go to the home court of the Mavericks.
At that time, the Mavericks will have an absolute home court advantage, and even have a chance to win the finals when George is unable to play!
Of course, this is the most perfect idea of the Mavericks. It is still difficult to realize it. After all, the Cavaliers also have the dual-core backcourt of Long Rui and Curry, and their scoring ability should not be underestimated.
The time came to 7:30 in the evening, and there was only half an hour left before the second battle of the finals.
Fans also entered the arena one after another, and soon the entire main stadium was full.
"Today is G2 of the finals, and director Zhang and I will still bring you a live broadcast."
"In the last game, the Cavaliers got off to a good start, but they also paid a very high price."
"It is now certain that Paul George will miss today's game, and even the next 2-3 games."
"For the Cavaliers, this will be a heavy blow and make their path to the championship even more difficult."
"Now what they have to do is to try their best to win a game before George recovers from injury, so that it is possible to wait for George's comeback."
"Conversely, if they can't withstand the impact of the Mavericks, then it is likely to end the finals early."
On the commentary stage, he said leisurely.
"Yes, in fact, this game is the best time for the Cavaliers to win."
"After all, they just won their first victory two days ago. Now the morale of the team is high, and they are playing at home, which has certain advantages."
"Under such circumstances, as long as Long Rui and Curry can play in a good state, there is still a great chance to win the game."
"And I heard that just yesterday, Long Rui went to the training hall early to practice his shooting."
"The finger injury made him lose his shooting touch during the game. I don't know if he can regain his touch through yesterday's practice."
These two chatted with each other about the game.
And in the backcourt, the Cavaliers' locker room.
Everyone is fully prepared. In this game, they will increase the intensity of defense again. Only in this way can they win.
"Guys, use our defense to defend this field!"
Long Rui let out a loud cry, which immediately stirred up the atmosphere in the entire locker room, and all the teammates responded loudly!
At this moment, in the locker room of the visiting team, Coach Carlisle was still explaining the tactics non-stop. Nowitzki and others gathered around and listened very carefully.
This is the second time that Nowitzki has reached the Finals. The first time was in 06, but he lost to the Heat with Wade and O'Neal in the end. It is a pity that he lost.
He was 27 years old that year, which was the early stage of his peak.
Now, after five years, he once again led the team to stand on the stage of the finals. Now he is 32 years old and has reached the end of his peak.
This is his best chance to win the championship, and it may also be his last chance.
For basketball players, the age of 30 is a watershed. After passing this age, many players' various statistics will decline.
At the beginning, it may not be too obvious, but as a little bit of age, this downward trend will become faster and faster.
Of course, there are also some players who have a long peak period like evergreen trees, but these are only a few after all.
After a while, players from both sides came on the stage to warm up before the game, and the game is about to start.
In this game, there was no change in the starting lineups of the two sides, but George was missing from the Cavaliers' bench.
This also made many fans puzzled. Although he injured his ankle, he can still come to watch the game at home. Generally speaking, he would choose this way, but I don't know why George didn't appear here.
Regarding this issue, only the inside of the Cavaliers knows, and they have not disclosed George's whereabouts to the outside world.
……
"Hiss...Jingjing, please be gentle, it hurts a little..."
In Kecheng, in Longrui's physical therapy center, there were bursts of wailing...
It was none other than Paul George who made such a sound.
In order to make the ankle injury heal faster, he is receiving further treatment here.
"Jingjing, your method is wrong, it should be like this."
Ran Ruoxue didn't go to watch the game today because she has more important tasks.
As she spoke, she demonstrated the correct technique.
This new apprentice of hers is very attentive in learning this profession, and her progress is very fast, much better than her original one.
It's just that sometimes the control of strength is not very good, so it will inevitably cause a burst of wailing when doing some massages.
Paul George, the bad boy, has suffered a lot now, and he even began to wonder if the injury would get worse under this kind of treatment...
However, Ran Ruoxue said that as long as she was there, there would be no problems. Of course, Long Rui trusted her very much, so he let George be handed over to her.
"Sister Xue, is the game about to start? Don't miss it!"
Jingjing is doing treatment for George, but she is still thinking about the game. After all, she is a die-hard fan of Long Rui!
