Chapter 223: Superstars brawl, who will have the last laugh?
Curry looked at Irving desperately.
If this ball goes in, it basically means the Cavaliers have won.
Boom!
Irving's shot was a little short, and the basketball hit the front and bounced up.
Just as the Warriors fans were excited, the basketball bounced high, then fell down and fell into the basket.
Curry shook his head helplessly.
It seems that luck is on the Cavaliers' side.
121:117, the Cavaliers lead by 4 point.
There are 34 seconds left in the game.
Theoretically, each side has one attacking opportunity.
If the Warriors want to reverse the situation, they need to score quickly, whether it is two points or three points.
Sure enough, Curry dribbled the ball quickly across half court, and just as he passed the center line, he threw another long three-pointer.
In fact, Wang Yan was ready to assist in defense, but unexpectedly, Curry was too ruthless and really threw the ball as soon as he crossed half court!
Although he knew that Curry's three-pointers were outrageous before he traveled through time, he was still shocked by Curry's three-pointers when he actually competed on the same court.
The basketball flew in the air for a long time, as if a century had passed.
Everyone in the gym is focused on basketball...
Swish!
It actually went in.
This time the Warriors' offense took only more than 5 seconds.
The score was 121:120 with 29 seconds left.
29 seconds, both sides have an offensive opportunity, but the Warriors have less time.
Curry really seized an offensive opportunity.
But in the next round, the Warriors must defend the Cavaliers, at least not let the Cavaliers get 3 points.
The Cavaliers attacked and the Warriors pressed full court.
Irving felt a little uncomfortable facing Curry's fierce defense.
Wang Yan hurried to respond, and Irving passed the ball to Wang Yan.
Green came up and defended fiercely again, and Bogut was waiting for Wang Yan inside the three-point line.
It was not easy for Wang Yan to make a move, because Green, like Rodman back then, was almost hanging on Wang Yan and making a lot of small moves.
In the final stages, the referee will not blow the whistle as long as the action is not too excessive.
Wang Yan was about to use up the 24 seconds, so he was not in a hurry. He leaned sideways against Green and dribbled the ball slowly.
9 seconds…8 seconds…7 seconds…
The Cavaliers teammates started to move and wanted to come over to provide cover for Wang Yan.
But Wang Yan shook his head, and his teammates dispersed again.
With 4 seconds left, Wang Yan moved.
bass!
He first took a step to the left, followed closely by Green.
Then Wang Yan suddenly stepped back and took a three-point shot!
Green was prepared, and the moment Wang Yan retreated, he pounced forward.
Fortunately, Wang Yan is tall and has long arms, and his static talent is better than Green's. In addition, he has a bit of a fade away, so Green can only sigh at the sight of the ball.
The parabola of this attack is very high, so it appears to be very slow.
There are 7 seconds left in the game... 6 seconds... bang!
The basketball hit the rim and bounced out.
Just when Bogut was trying hard to grab the rebound, Wang Yan rushed up from behind, bang!
It was very difficult to snatch it this time because Bogut also tried his best.
So Wang Yan simply sabotaged the ball by slapping it on the backboard, causing it to bounce out.
At least four or five players from both sides rushed over to fight for the ball.
As a result, Thompson grabbed the ball and ran quickly to the frontcourt.
Just as he passed half court and before reaching the three-point line, there were only 1.1 seconds left in the game.
Must take action.
Thompson receives the ball and shoots!
If this ball goes in, it will be a sure win.
Unexpectedly, just as the basketball left Thompson's fingers, a big hand stretched out from behind, puff!
The slender fingers touched the basketball. The ball was still flying in the air, and the red timing light came on.
result……
Whoosh!
The ball turned out to be a bread ball, an "air ball", which flew directly out of the baseline without any touch!
Wang Yan changed the flight trajectory of the ball.
But he just barely touched it, so Thompson didn't even notice it.
The Oracle Arena was dead silent, and the fans couldn't believe that they lost again!
Curry stood there, motionless.
Thompson held his head in frustration and felt very guilty.
He thought he had cast the wrong ball.
However, when he looked up and saw the replay on the big screen, he realized that it was Wang Yan who touched the ball, causing him to miss the shot.
Thompson gave a bitter smile, it turned out that he had lost to Wang Yan again.
However, this game also proved that the Warriors are now a team at the same level as the Cavaliers.
Since the last finals, the difference between winning and losing for both teams has been a matter of millimeters.
The score difference rarely exceeds 10 points.
Moreover, the Warriors are also a very young team and will be a potential opponent of the Cavaliers in the next few years.
Of course, the competition in the Wild West is too fierce, and it is not certain that the Warriors can really break out of the West.
For the Lakers teamed up with James and Kobe, the window to win the championship is getting smaller and smaller.
If we don't win the championship before Kobe reaches his peak and grows old, it will become increasingly difficult in the future.
Wang Yan played 42 minutes today and scored 46 points, while Irving played 37 minutes and scored 29 points.
Curry scored 38 points and Thompson scored 27 points.
Both sides' starting lineups performed at their normal level.
Curry paused for a long time before walking towards Wang Yan.
"Wang, you win again!"
Curry seemed to have accepted his fate and said helplessly.
Wang Yan felt a little sorry for Curry. He knew that if he hadn’t met him, in another parallel world, the Warriors would have ushered in a dynasty.
Unfortunately, with Wang Yan in this parallel world, Warrior is destined to be only a supporting role accompanying the prince in his studies.
"It's just luck, Stephen, your time has come!"
Wang Yan was speaking from the heart, but to Curry it sounded like he was just being polite.
"My time? Forget it, it's your time now, and you're four years younger than me."
Curry's meaning was also very clear, and his tone was somewhat desperate.
"Don't be discouraged, you are on the right track, the future is yours!"
Wang Yan was so excited that he actually uttered this famous saying.
Curry's face changed slightly. He thought Wang Yan was mocking him.
"Wang Yan, if we meet again in the finals, the championship will definitely be ours!"
This baby-faced killer once again challenged Wang Yan!
Wang Yan nodded vigorously, patted his shoulder, and praised: "Good! Cheer up, I like your domineering look!"
Curry was stunned for a moment. He was a little confused about Wang Yan.
He always felt that Wang Yan sometimes hoped that he would fight well.
But Curry felt that he and Wang Yan had no private relationship, so why did Wang Yan always help him like this?
baffling.
Thompson was in a bad mood today. He just said a few words to Wang Yan and walked towards the player tunnel with his head down.
Wang Yan understood very well that Thompson must be feeling very guilty.
After all, it is the last chance to make a move, and there is still enough time.
But his shot was still interfered by Wang Yan, and Thompson felt that he was a little careless.
What Wang Yan actually wanted to say to him is that you are already very awesome.
The ratings for this Christmas game exceeded those of the previous game between the Heat and the Lakers.
This shows that the Cavaliers and Warriors have become the league's money-making weapons and a guarantee of ratings!
