Chapter 220: When Yong Sanfeng met Qi Sanfeng!
The Cavaliers called two timeouts in the second quarter, but failed to curb the Warriors' offense.

The Warriors substitutes were clearly well prepared, and even when Wang Yan was on the court, they still had a clear tactic.

That is to firmly adhere to the offensive direction of "staying away from Wang Yan".

In fact, the entire league is implementing this basic principle, but some teams became dissatisfied during the game and were taught a lesson by Wang Yan.

Or it may be a good idea, but in reality the ability to do it is not there.

After all, there are too few teams with such strong offensive power as the Warriors.

The Warriors' substitutes not only have high basketball IQ, but also strong execution ability. They just won't confront you head-on, Wang Yan, and will avoid you!

For example, in this offensive round, the Warriors originally gave the ball to Iguodala and attacked from the right.

At this time, Wang Yan was struggling with Spitz on the left.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan used his strong body and cheetah-like speed to get rid of Speights and rushed to the right.

Iguodala saw Wang Yan out of the corner of his eye and gave up the attack.

He passed the ball to David Lee in the middle, and then to Bazemore on the left, allowing Bazemore to shoot.

Wang Yan disrupted the entire defensive formation by himself. The Warriors players were not afraid of trouble and would rather not shoot than challenge Wang Yan's defense!

Thanks to the resolute implementation of this principle, the Warriors' lead is slowly expanding.

At the end of the first half, the score was 66:53.

This is a rare situation this season, the Cavaliers were actually so far behind at halftime.

And the opponent is last season's final opponent.

It is too difficult to win three consecutive championships, and the rise of the Warriors is inevitable.

Intermission.

In the Cavaliers' locker room, it was quiet.

The relaxed atmosphere of chatting and laughing in the past is gone.

After all, who can laugh when they are far behind?
Two minutes passed before Wang Yan broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Brothers, do we have to win 82 games in the regular season? Can't we lose?"

Wang Yan's half-joking words made his teammates burst out laughing.

"Boss, losing is okay, but our opponent is the Warriors! We really don't want to lose!" Butler said with his fists clenched.

Butler's words reflect the voice of all Cavaliers players, including Wang Yan.

Wang Yan nodded: "I understand everyone, no one wants to lose, but now we have only played half the game and are only 13 points behind, there is still a lot to play in the second half!"

Irving immediately responded: "That's right! 13 points is nothing, a few three-pointers will catch up!"

"Yes! A big turnaround in the second half!"

"Fuck him!"

Wang Yan waved his hand and asked everyone to calm down first, and explained the specific tactics.

"The Warriors' offense is very strong and our defense is a big problem. In addition, our offense must be as simple as possible and not drag on. As long as there is an opportunity to shoot, we must shoot resolutely!"

Now the whole team is very dependent on Wang Yan and Irving, so the Warriors focus their defense on the two of them, and others dare not take shots.

With Wang Yan's encouragement, everyone's confidence returned.

"Okay, listen to Boss Wang Yan, we must act decisively in the second half!"

"Yes! Act decisively!"

Scott was also very anxious. He was heading towards the locker room to say a few words to cheer up the players.

But when he walked to the door, he heard slogans coming from inside, as if the players were all in high spirits.

Scott smiled, knowing that it was Wang Yan who was playing the role of the boss.

He nodded and left with peace of mind.

The second half begins.

The Warriors players were full of confidence, and Curry and Thompson jumped onto the court.

Cavaliers attack.

Wang Yan was still being double-teamed.

Irving held the ball, Wang Yan retreated to the bottom corner and made a gesture to his teammates.

Butler and Irving set a pick-and-roll, and Butler then cut inside to the edge of the paint.

Irving immediately made a ground pass to Butler. Butler faced Curry and shot decisively. Swoosh!

A successful mid-range shot.

The Warriors players didn't care too much. After all, the score difference was still big and Butler was not a scorer.

Looking back, Curry threw a three-pointer, but it was a little off, and TT grabbed the rebound.

TT passed the ball to Wang Yan and immediately launched a counterattack.

In positional warfare, the Warriors can double-team Wang Yan fiercely.

But in the fast break, Bogut couldn't keep up with Wang Yan, and only Green could barely keep up.

With Wang Yan's skills, it is too easy to get rid of a person.

Miso!

Wang Yan made an emergency stop and changed speed, leaving Green behind.

Green chased closely and wanted to commit a foul, but Wang Yan didn't give him any chance.

Just as Wang Yan broke into the three-point line in the frontcourt, Green rushed in front of Wang Yan and wanted to hug him around the waist.

But Wang Yan suddenly retreated to the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line.

Suddenly he was more than two meters away from Green.

Green secretly said oh no, he understood, Wang Yan wanted to shoot a three-pointer.

It was too late for him to pounce on him.

Wang Yan bent his bow, drew his arrow, and shot at the speed of light, whoosh!
This three-point shot was too fragile.

The cheers from the Warriors' home court suddenly stopped.

The score difference has narrowed to single digits.

Warriors head coach Mark Jackson was a little flustered.

But he still pretended to be calm, hugged his shoulders on the sidelines, and acted like he had everything under control.

Wang Yan's stable output and his teammates' decisive shots made the Warriors' defense chaotic.

The poor defense also caused the Warriors to be a little anxious on the offensive end.

Curry and Thompson's shots were not in rhythm and they missed the target.

The Cavaliers took the opportunity to close the score.

After more than 6 minutes of the third quarter, the Cavaliers were only 1 point behind.

Mark Jackson could no longer remain calm and called a timeout.

I thought the Warriors could rely on the "Warriors Three Crazy" to punch through the three quarters and beat the Cavaliers.

Just like playing against any other team.

But the Cavaliers are not like other teams, and they have played many games with three crazy performances.

Now it depends on which team is crazier.

At the moment, it is still crazier to ride the three crazy ones.

During the timeout, Wang Yan continued to encourage his teammates: "You are all great, shoot boldly, even if you miss, I will grab the rebound for you!"

For NBA players, they are very accurate in training. The main reason why their shooting percentage is not high in the game is the opponent's defense and their own mentality.

If the basketball rebound can be guaranteed, the players' confidence in shooting will increase greatly and their hit rate will definitely improve.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

After all, the Warriors players are relatively young, so they are easily affected by various unexpected situations on the court.

In terms of age, the Cavaliers are of course younger, but the Cavaliers have too much experience. They have played in the playoffs and finals consecutively in the past two years, which has made the players more mature and stable mentally.

Coupled with Wang Yan's leadership, the Cavaliers' championship foundation is far superior to that of the Warriors.

Curry is a very emotional player, at least this year.

So when the Warriors are playing well, Curry will confuse their opponents.

But when faced with strong resistance, Curry would become a little anxious.

The Warriors replaced Green with David Lee because David Lee is relatively more mature and has better offense.
