Chapter 274 Outside Showdown! Wang Yan vs. Duncan!
just.
Given the Spurs' current competitive state, it is indeed difficult to stop Wang Yan from scoring.
When Jimmy Butler brought the basketball to the frontcourt, he did not have any idea of scoring, but directly threw the basketball in his hand to Wang Yan in the inside!
After receiving the basketball, the latter moved directly in the three-second zone.
Whether it was Tim Duncan or Split, the two inside generals would rush to Wang Yan as quickly as possible.
But unfortunately, Wang Yan just threw it lightly.
The basketball flew over the heads of the two Spurs' inside players and then fell perfectly into the basket.
This... is Wang Yan's level.
In the stands, tens of thousands of fans cheered again, shouting slogans for the NBA championship hysterically.
It turns out.
The Spurs' inside defense still couldn't stop Wang Yan from scoring.
Popovich paced anxiously on the sidelines. This was not the result he wanted to see.
But to be honest, Popovich doesn't have a better solution at the moment. Most of the time, the only thing Popovich can do is cheer for his disciples.
Looking forward to a miracle.
Overall, the Cavaliers and the Spurs were in pretty good shape throughout the third quarter.
Although the Spurs' defense has been slow to hit a wall, on the offensive end, players such as Tony Parker and Leonard were able to step up and score.
This is why the gap between the two sides did not widen in the third quarter.
The difference is still around fifteen points.
Soon, the game between the two teams entered the final quarter.
The real decisive battle has arrived.
It is undeniable that Tony Parker was very active in the Spurs' offensive possession after entering the final quarter.
This time, he took advantage of the Cavaliers' unstable perimeter defense and shot very quickly.
At this moment, a parabola flew over the heads of several Cavaliers players and then fell accurately into the basket.
Yes.
At this last moment, the basketball quickly went into the basket and Tony Parker succeeded.
His three-pointer successfully helped the team get the crucial three points.
Now, the team's score difference has reached twelve points.
Perhaps at this moment, every Spurs player saw a glimmer of hope of equalizing the score.
On the defensive end.
The Spurs players were also very focused. When Kyrie Irving brought the basketball to the frontcourt, the defensive players rushed to him in a flash.
And it was a double team.
Both outside players, Tony Parker and Danny Green, suddenly rushed in front of Kyrie Irving and interfered with him.
Irving's first thought was to pass the ball, but unfortunately, when he suddenly threw the basketball in his hand into the air, Danny Green predicted it in advance and successfully stole the ball.
In an instant, the basketball was within the control of the Spurs players.
Danny Green ran to the Cavaliers' basket at almost the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and then under the joint interference of Irving and Butler, he finally completed a difficult layup.
Got two points.
At the same time, the difference between the two teams was only ten points.
"After entering the last quarter, the away Spurs seemed to have become a different team! Their performances on both offense and defense were perfect!" "No one could easily stop him from scoring!"
"Could it be... that the Spurs are about to wake up?"
On the Cavaliers side, head coach Scott immediately called a tactical timeout. Obviously, the Spurs' crazy offensive during this period also made Scott a little panicked.
During the pause.
Scott has long emphasized slowing down the pace of the game.
"We are still in the lead now. Don't be anxious or panic! Everything must go according to our rhythm!"
"Try to pass the ball to Wang Yan on the offensive end!"
After saying this, Scott looked up at Wang Yan again, and then said earnestly: "The opponent is very strong, but I believe you can score."
"Wang, the team needs you to step up."
Scott understood that the biggest credit for the Cavaliers' ability to reach the NBA Finals for three consecutive seasons was due to Wang Yan.
So, in Scott's view, as long as Wang Yan can perform normally in tonight's game, there is no doubt that the victory will belong to the Cavaliers.
At this moment, in the ESPN studio.
Commentator Kenny Smith said to Barkley and O'Neal: "There are still about ten minutes left before the end of the game, and the difference between the two teams is also ten points."
"You two, who do you think will win this game?"
Barkley still firmly supports the Spurs. He said confidently: "Without a doubt, it will be the Spurs. Their performance in the fourth quarter is simply perfect!"
"The Cavaliers' defense can no longer stop the Spurs' terrifying offense!"
"Wang Yan is going to lose!"
After hearing Barkley's words, O'Neal immediately laughed out loud: "Don't be ridiculous, Charles!"
"The Cavaliers will definitely win. Don't forget, it's the Cavaliers who are leading now, not the Spurs."
"Let's talk about this when the Spurs are up by ten points."
In the stands of Quicken Loans Center, when the starting players of both teams came on the court again, the scene immediately erupted into even more encouraging cheers.
Tens of thousands of fans cheered Wang Yan's name one after another.
It seems that the fans of the Cavaliers are also looking forward to the team's star player, Wang Yan, being able to step up and score!
On the field.
Wang Yan did not continue to wait in the interior, but chose to hold the ball on the outside. It seems that Wang Yan is really serious.
On the Spurs side, Popovich immediately directed the players on the sidelines, requiring the players in the inside to follow out.
As soon as Popovich finished speaking, a player like Tim Duncan immediately appeared at the top of the penalty area.
The two team's inside players got the opportunity to compete directly on the outside at this moment.
In the Tianchao Sports studio, commentator Yu Jia couldn't help but sigh: "It's started! A direct conversation between Wang Yan and Tim Duncan!"
"Although Wang Yan had beaten Tim Duncan in the paint many times in this game, this was the first time they had a chance from the outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yan took action.
But in fact, Wang Yan did not make too many fancy moves, but made a shot!
Throw it gently with your right hand.
In a flash, the basketball flashed over Tim Duncan's head.
In the stands of Quicken Loans Center, tens of thousands of fans had their eyes on the basketball.
