Chapter 270 Duncan dunks in a row! The Spurs see hope!
After taking a look at the basket, Irving shot the ball without any hesitation!
Swish!
He succeeded.
Basketball hits steadily.
It was an empty three-pointer. When Irving successfully hit the three-pointer, the fans in the stands of the Quick Loans Center cheered loudly.
In the Tianchao Sports studio, Yu Jia was also generous in praising himself.
“Nice three-pointer!”
"It seems that Owen is in pretty good shape tonight."
Commentator Zhang also said: "Indeed, as long as Irving can continue to maintain his outside shooting percentage, it should not be a problem for the Cavaliers to beat the Spurs tonight."
On the Spurs bench, Popovich shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that this was not the scene Popovich wanted to see.
"concentrate!"
"Watch out outside!"
In Popovich's view, if the Spurs want to win the game tonight, their first priority is to limit the Cavaliers' outside offense.
Why not limit Wang Yan's scoring? Obviously, Popovich knows that the current Cavaliers can't stop Wang Yan's impact.
In the last game, the reason why the Spurs were able to win at their home court was largely due to the average form of the Cavaliers players.
But through the opening few attacks of the game, we can see that the Cavaliers players are in better shape than each other after returning to the Quicken Loans Arena.
This will be a huge test for the Spurs players.
Next round.
The Spurs' offensive possession.
After Ginobili brought the basketball to the frontcourt, he took a look at Tim Duncan's position and found that the Cavaliers player responsible for matching up against Tim Duncan was replaced by TT!
Wang Yan is responsible for countering Split.
Obviously, this would be a good opportunity to pass the ball, but after a brief thought, Ginobili did not do so, but passed the basketball to Leonard in the corner.
The latter faced Jamison's defense and resolutely pulled up for a shot.
Swish.
Leonard was also in very good shape, and he made steady shots.
Got three points!
In the stands, Spurs legend David Robinson immediately applauded and said to Michael Jordan next to him: "Michael, guess who do you think will win tonight?"
Michael Jordan said with a smile: "David, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you look like O'Neal? Haha."
"I know you support the Spurs, so I'll choose the Cavaliers. Wang Yan is too dominant under the basket."
Jordan added: "The Spurs' current defense is simply unable to stop Wang Yan's attack. The victory tonight will belong to the Cavaliers."
David Robinson spread his hands and said with a regretful expression: "The Spurs will win the game. I believe Popovich will find a solution."
Inside the stadium.
As time passed, the players of both teams gradually found their form and the game became exciting.
this time.
It was still an offensive opportunity for the Spurs, and the player who held the ball was Ginobili.
After the player strode to the frontcourt with the ball, he was not in a hurry to shoot, but made a pick-and-roll with his teammates. When Leonard moved to the top of the three-point line, Ginobili suddenly accelerated.
He successfully used Leonard's body as a cover, and then rushed to the basket at lightning speed!
To be honest, Ginobili's offensive choice did surprise the Cavaliers' defensive players.
Between the lightning and flint.
Ginobili was already running to the basket with the ball.
"Ginobili! Completed the breakthrough!"
"He didn't pass the ball, but continued to advance with the ball... Could it be that Ginobili wanted to make a layup this time?"
In the Tianchao Sports studio, commentator Yu Jia couldn't help but express his doubts after seeing this scene.
Two Cavaliers inside players are also in place.
They are Wang Yan and TT!
Right now.
Ginobili chose to make an emergency stop, and then, in the next second, Ginobili threw the basketball into the inside at the fastest speed.
then!
The unguarded Tim Duncan caught the basketball in the air, and then he completed a dunk at the fastest speed.
Buzz buzz buzz.
He succeeded.
"It's Tim Duncan again!"
"It seems that Duncan wants to avenge his previous defeat through this game tonight!"
"The first quarter wasn't over yet, and Duncan had already completed two dunks under the basket."
After Yu Jia finished speaking, Coach Zhang immediately said, "It's quite interesting, but I think this should be Duncan's last dunk in this game."
"In the coming time, the Cavaliers players will definitely focus on defending Duncan, especially Wang Yan. I believe he will not give Duncan such an opportunity again."
During this period of time, the cheering noises from the stands of the Quick Loans Center had obviously weakened a lot.
It seems that after seeing the performance of the Cavaliers, the fans of the Cavaliers gradually became confused about tonight's game.
And in the ESPN studio.
Kenny Smith teased O'Neal: "Hey, Shaq, the Cavaliers you support are in trouble. They may suffer two consecutive losses!"
Before O'Neal could speak, Charles Barkley spoke first: "Hey, Shaq, don't forget your agreement. If the Spurs win the championship, you and the donkey..."
"impossible!"
O'Neal said confidently to Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley: "Absolutely impossible, the Cavaliers will definitely be the winner tonight."
"They will win the NBA Finals tonight, I have every confidence in that."
……
At this moment, inside the Quicken Loans Center, the Cavaliers' offensive has also arrived, and this time Irving also wants to find a chance to shoot from the outside.
But unfortunately, the Spurs' defense did not give Irving a chance.
Ginobili is like a plaster, firmly stuck in front of Irving.
At this time, inside.
Wang Yan is asking Irving for the ball.
So, Irving immediately gave up his offensive idea and passed the basketball to Wang Yan in the inside as soon as possible.
At this moment.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Yan.
Under the basket, on the Spurs side, the player facing Wang Yan was still Tim Duncan.
just.
This time, Wang Yan didn't waste time talking to Tim Duncan. After receiving the pass from Irving, he suddenly turned around and jumped lightly.
Successfully completed a one-handed slam dunk!
Buzz buzz buzz.
Another dunk.
As it turned out, when Wang Yan got serious, Tim Duncan had no power to fight back at all.
Just like that, Wang Yan scored.
