So, in today's game, Utah Jazz head coach Snyder is under tremendous pressure!
After the game starts.
The Jazz still played very proactively.
The star player Gordon Hayward scored frequently. In addition, young player Trey Burke also made consecutive shots from the outside.
In the first five minutes, the away Jazz were almost on par with the Cavaliers.
But as the game progressed.
Especially when Wang Yan started to kill all around, the Jazz's inside defense system collapsed instantly.
There was absolutely no way to resist Wang Yan's unstoppable dunk.
Especially Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter.
In the first quarter, Enes Kanter confronted Wang Yan in the interior three times, but without exception, he was fouled all the time.
It gave Wang Yan the opportunity of two plus one for nothing.
After the start of the second quarter.
Wang Yan even completed three dunks over the Jazz center's head in the opening stages of the game.
At one point, it caused the opponent's mentality to collapse.
In subsequent games, with the efforts of Trevor Booker and Derrick Favors, the Jazz's offensive efficiency has gradually begun to pick up.
But unfortunately, the Cavaliers, playing at home, had a much stronger momentum in the game.
Jimmy Butler and Kyrie Irving, the Cavaliers' backcourt duo, made shots one after another, leaving their opponents helpless at one point.
In the second half of the second quarter, Wang Yan was in great form.
He completed unstoppable dunks towards the opponent's basket in the paint one after another.
and! !
Most importantly, the Jazz's main inside player Enes Kanter had already fouled out.
After this player left the court, it is no exaggeration to say that the Utah Jazz's interior defense has completely collapsed.
At the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers had extended their lead to thirty-three points.
The balance of victory has completely tilted towards the Cavaliers.
After the start of the second half, Coach Scott made a large-scale personnel rotation. Players like Wang Yan and Mike Miller returned to the bench to rest.
Currently, Kyrie Irving has become the offensive core of the Cavaliers.
Despite only having one starting player, the Cavaliers still beat the Utah Jazz without any chance of fighting back. Irving's consecutive layups left Trey Burke helpless.
Just like that, it happened in no time.
The Cavaliers defeated the Utah Jazz at home without any difficulty.

The game was still held at the Boston Garden.
The Celtics face the Cavaliers at home!
After the game starts.
Both teams quickly got into the rhythm of the game. The Celtics, who were at home, were clearly more powerful than the Cavaliers. Within three minutes of the start, Jeff Green made consecutive shots from the outside.
With his own strength, he helped the Celtics establish a six-point lead.
But... the Celtics did not maintain this six-point lead for too long. In the second half of the first quarter, Wang Yan also started to exert a little effort.
In the current Celtics' inside defense, there is almost no player who can limit Wang Yan's impact.
As Wang Yan began to rely on his personal ability to attack the Celtics' basket, other defensive players could only stare blankly in the interior.
Nothing can be done.
In this game, the Celtics' two inside players were Olynyk and Salinger.
to be frank.
These two players are no match for Wang Yan at all.
In the Celtics' paint, Wang Yan dunked almost at random! !
After entering the second quarter.
The two outside guards of the Cavaliers also started to exert their strength, including Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler!
Besides.
Players like Mike Miller and TT in the interior also started to score actively.
After a five-game winning streak, the Cavaliers are in hot form, and some role players are starting to score with confidence.
Head coach Scott was naturally very pleased after seeing this scene.
Even before the end of the second quarter, Wang Yan was asked to rest.

With Wang Yan's appearance, the balance of victory once again completely shifted to the Cavaliers' side!
Among them, the player in the best condition is Kyrie Irving!
The Cavs guard was in perfect form for most of the game.
Various highly difficult three-point shots make it completely impossible for opponents to defend!
and.
As the third quarter began.
