Chapter 222 The Warriors showed resilience and the Cavaliers faced challenges!

Scott stormed out during a timeout, complaining about poor perimeter defense.

In fact, the Splash Brothers' outburst has little to do with defense.

As long as two people enter a state of madness, it is basically impossible to defend against them.

Wang Yan knew that in the current situation, he could only compete with the Warriors on offense.

The Cavaliers are now leading by 1 point. In the remaining 2 minutes or so, they will exchange three-pointers!
See who has the highest hit rate and who can last to the end!
During the timeout, Wang Yan developed special tactics.

"Brothers, for the next few minutes, we will use the three-point tactic, mainly Irving and I, and the others will help cover us!"

This was not something Wang Yan thought of at random.

During training, Wang Yan would spend half an hour before the end of each day to specifically train this tactic.

It is not used at normal times, but will be used suddenly at critical moments!
Irving is also a player with a big heart and can fully take on this difficult task.

The players put their hands together and shouted, "We must win! We must win!"

The game continues!

The Warriors caught up with the score within a few rounds, so the morale of the whole team was greatly boosted.

When they were on the court, Curry and Green kept stirring up the audience's emotions, asking the home fans to cheer even louder!
It’s really the devil’s home ground, the shouts and sounds are deafening!
Fortunately, the entire Cavaliers team has experienced big scenes, otherwise they would really be panicked and weak.

Cavaliers attack.

Irving dribbled slowly at the top of the arc, and Curry defended him closely.

Curry's one-on-one defense is top-notch among point guards, and it is not easy for Irving to get rid of it.

However, the Cavaliers' tactics did not require personal escape. TT suddenly moved to a high position and blocked Curry.

Irving moves sideways quickly and takes a three-point shot!

Since Bogut and Green were both guarding Wang Yan, there was no delay, which allowed Irving to shoot very calmly and easily.

He is indeed a player with a big heart, whoosh!

Three-pointer!

The score difference instantly returned to 4 points.

115:111.
The shouting of Warriors fans stopped abruptly.

Irving's three-pointer became a silencer on the road.

Looking back, Curry used almost the same method, taking advantage of Bogut's screen, and threw an ultra-long three-pointer, whoosh!
The score difference is back to 1 points.

The Oracle Arena suddenly erupted into a deafening roar.

It is worthy of being the Christmas War, and the most exciting scenes are saved for the last.

Both sides were so bloodthirsty that the hit rate was indeed very high!
Cavaliers attack.

Since Irving just scored, the Warriors defended Irving more tightly.

Although Green was defending Wang Yan, his eyes were always on Irving and his feet were sliding quickly.

This is what makes Green so great, his assist defense is truly top-notch in the league.

If he hadn't met Wang Yan, he would have been the DPOY this season.

Wang Yan and Irving exchanged glances, and Irving understood what he meant. After receiving the ball, he deliberately rushed to Green's right side.

Green thought Irving was going to shoot again, so he took two small steps in that direction.

Just these two small steps cost me my life.

Irving suddenly looked up at the moon and passed the ball to Wang Yan.

The passing technique is very tricky and the speed is fast.

Green secretly cried out inwardly, it was too late for him to go back and guard Wang Yan.

After receiving the ball, Wang Yan quickly retreated to the three-point line and shot a three-pointer!
Green could only make a symbolic dive, but his hand was more than a foot away from the basketball.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and went into the basket accurately!
Swish!
It is true that when the east is dark, the west will be bright. When you suppress one problem, another one will pop up!
The Warriors players were helpless.

The score difference widened to 4 points.

At this time, there were 1 minute and 17 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors attack.

Curry had the ball and saw Butler defending in front of him, so he passed the ball to Thompson.

Jamison was the one defending Thompson.

Irving went to defend Barnes. Thompson was a little hesitant. Logically, he should pass the ball to Barnes and play big against small.

But the Splash Brothers were in excellent shape, so Thompson chose to take the shot himself.

But facing Jamison, who is half a head taller than him, the shooting point is higher and there is a drift, which is too difficult.

The result... bang!

Off.

TT protects the rebound.

This is equivalent to the Warriors' offensive momentum being interrupted.

There was a sigh from the fans at the scene.

Dangerous!
If the Cavaliers continue to score in the next round, the score difference will widen to more than 6 points, which will be difficult to catch up.

Mark Jackson also called a timeout.

It's not good that Thompson didn't continue his firepower just now.

Wang Yan and his teammates excitedly high-fived and encouraged each other.

With more than a minute to go, the 1-point lead is still not solid.

It depends on whether the Warriors can continue to score.

Curry and Thompson were obviously a little nervous. After all, they have not won the championship yet and do not have the foundation of championship players.

And the opponent is the defending champion who once defeated them in the finals.

Mark Jackson did have some tricks up his sleeve. He shouted loudly, "Winning or losing is not important. You just need to play at your usual strength!"

The shooter's mentality is very important.

Especially historical shooters like the Splash Brothers.

In their usual training, they almost always hit the target.

After the timeout, Curry held the ball in the midfield and suddenly moved toward the sideline.

Irving stuck close, but the Warriors suddenly used the "elevator door" screen tactic.

Bogut and Green, one on each side, blocked Irving and Wang Yan.

Curry flexibly passed through the "elevator", got to the three-point line, and shot at the speed of light!
As expected of Curry, it seems he has practiced this tactic a lot.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

The home fans roared with excitement, and some even had tears in their eyes.

It has to be Curry!

After scoring the goal, the baby-faced Curry also had a grim look on his face. He kept beating his chest and pointing upwards, thanking God.

The score difference is back to 1 points.

There are 56 seconds left and the score is 118:117.
Cavaliers attack.

This time, Wang Yan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, faced a double-team, and passed the ball to Butler through the gap between people.

Butler was very decisive, he stopped suddenly and made a drifting mid-range shot!
Unfortunately, it was a little off, bang!
It bounced to the other side of the basket.

Bogut could have gotten the rebound.

Just as he grabbed the ball with both hands, a big hand reached out from behind.

"Bring it to you!"

With one hand, Wang Yan actually "picked out" the basketball that Bogut had just grabbed with both hands!

You know, Bogut is also the No. 1 pick, a big center with plenty of strength in his hands.

However, Wang Yan was able to force the ball out of his hands, which shows how strong Wang Yan's hands are!

Bogut was shocked, then a little angry and turned around to counterattack.

But Wang Yan was keeping an eye on all directions, whoosh!
The ball was accurately delivered to Irving in the corner.

Irving's off-ball running was very active and he created space.

However, this gap only lasted for a moment, and Curry had already caught up.

I can only say that Wang Yan's pass was perfect and he captured the moment accurately.

After Irving received the ball, he shot at the speed of light before Curry pounced on him without any adjustment!
