The Spurs' inside player, Tim Duncan, has also rushed in front of Wang Yan! In addition, behind Duncan is Leonard!

Two people surrounded Wang Yan.

But at this moment, Wang Yan had no way out.

There was only one thing he needed to do.

That is to throw the damn basketball into the basket!
After Wang Yan dribbled the ball twice, he quickly tried a tentative step, pretending to break through to the inside!

After seeing this scene, Duncan immediately tilted his body weight backwards!

And just then!
Wang Yan immediately retreated back to the three-point line.

Take a three-pointer directly!

Swish!
The basketball flashed quickly over Tim Duncan's head and then fell into the basket at a high speed.

"He completed a cool shot under the double-team of Duncan and Leonard!"

"Now! The Cavaliers are leading again!"

Kenny Smith continued: "The Spurs are now on the rise. They still have 20 seconds left to attack. Perhaps they can equalize the score before halftime."

Barkley said bluntly: "The Cavaliers were in such a bad state in the second quarter, it seemed that every outside player had a cold hand!"

"Maybe... tonight, the Spurs will have the last laugh!"

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, O'Neal turned on the mocking mode. He said to Barkley coldly: "Kang Mang, man, you must be kidding!"

"Can the Spurs win? Their inside players didn't even succeed in stopping Wang Yan from scoring in today's game!"

"What did they win?"

At this time, players from both sides also returned to the court.

Ginobili threw the basketball to Danny Green.

The latter held the ball at the top of the three-point line, and it can be seen that Danny Green was not panicked.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Danny Green will make his offensive choice at the last minute!

After seeing this scene, Irving naturally would not give the Spurs players any chance, so he immediately rushed to grab the ball!

but!

At the moment when Irving was trying to steal the ball, Danny Green quickly passed the basketball to Ginobili in the corner!
Although Butler's defense is already in place!
But Ginobili turned quickly near the baseline.
