Chapter 104 The Basketball Association personally invites Wang Yan! Liu Yifei in maid outfit!
Chapter 104
Wang Yan didn't know that someone from China had come to observe him. He and his teammates were focused on the playoffs and had no distractions.
Although the Cavaliers won the first game by a large margin, they did not become complacent.
Under the leadership of head coach Scott and Wang Yan, the whole team is still training.
The team's video engineer edited the key offensive and defensive clips of the first game and let the whole team watch them to identify the shortcomings of each player and improve them.
A day later, at 7:30 in the evening.
The second round of the playoffs between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, the second game begins!
The starting lineups of both teams remain unchanged.
However, the Celtics seemed to have suddenly changed their style of play.
The players on the field adopted the strategy of "giving up defense" against Wang Yan.
In other words, the Celtics focused on cutting off the connection between Wang Yan and other teammates, leaving Wang Yan to play on his own!
Judging from Wang Yan’s previous performance, this is a suicidal act for the Celtics!
This is a tactic temporarily formulated by Rivers and the coaching staff.
Wang Yan was puzzled at first, wondering if the other party had set a trap.
But he changed his mind and decided, who cares!
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are futile.
In the first quarter, Wang Yan was in great form and took almost all of the Cavaliers' shooting opportunities.
His teammates also fully supported Wang Yan. Everyone knew his physical strength, so there would be no physical strength problem even if he played the whole game.
This is different from Durant.
Why did Durant's single-game scoring not be high until the end of his career, with the highest being only 54 points?
Although he is very stable and can at least score 20 points, his scoring explosiveness is insufficient.
The reason was that he lacked physical strength and his shooting percentage dropped rapidly in the fourth quarter.
But Wang Yan is different. He is more aggressive in the fourth quarter than in the first three quarters!
At the end of the first quarter, Wang Yan scored 30 points!
No one can stop Wang Yan's attack!
However, the score between the two sides was 36:33, with the Celtics only trailing by 3 points.
Judging from the score difference, the Celtics were quite successful because their offense was focused on the outside.
Pierce and Ray Allen both had good touches today.
To be honest, the Celtics' overall strength is still very strong. If they meet the Big Three of the Heat, they can fight on equal terms.
It’s just that Wang Yan is too buggy and the Celtics can’t stand it at all.
In the VIP box, six Chinese Basketball Association staff members were also watching the game intently.
Especially Yu Zaiqing, his eyes were always on Wang Yan and never moved away.
"This boy... is too awesome! He can lead an entire team by himself!"
Yu Zaiqing was so shocked that he was speechless. He was used to watching domestic competitions, and there was no comparison in terms of intensity or technical and tactical skills.
"If the national team has Wang Yan, who can stop them?"
The inside lineup consisting of Wang Yan, Abdul-Jabbar and Wang Dazhi has already emerged in his mind.
Even just thinking about it made Yu Zaiqing very excited!
However, Director Liu started to grumble nearby.
"The Cavaliers don't seem to have any tactics. They just rely on Wang Yan alone? Can they go far?"
Yu Zaiqing snorted, "Don't tell me, the Celtics can't handle Wang Yan alone, and the other teams won't be able to handle it either!"
The second quarter started with substitutes from both teams.
Despite Thomas' efforts, the Celtics' bench depth is terrifying.
More than three minutes into the second quarter, the Celtics caught up with the score and tied it at 3!
Cavaliers head coach Scott had no choice but to call a timeout and prepare to let Wang Yan come back on the court to turn the tide.
Wang Yan did not blame his teammates. Instead, he took the initiative to step forward, high-fived and cheered with the dejected substitute players, encouraging them.
When Yu Zaiqing saw the details of this action, he nodded slightly.
Wang Yan's explosive scoring in the first quarter impressed Yu Zaiqing
But he also had a question in his mind, which was what was the relationship between Wang Yan and his teammates.
The national team is a small society. If Wang Yan is not good at communication and only cares about playing, it will be difficult to unite the national team.
This is what team sports are like. All members must work together to achieve good results.
Even if every player is very strong, but they fight on their own and ignore each other, it would be strange for the team to win!
Now seeing Wang Yan's interaction with the substitute players, and him chatting and laughing with his teammates on the bench, Yu Zaiqing felt relieved.
This is a player with leadership qualities who can definitely play a huge role in the national team!
The timeout is over and Wang Yan returns to the stage.
The other main players did not play and continued to rest, while Wang Yan fought with the substitute lineup.
Yu Zaiqing watched with interest. He wanted to know if Wang Yan could still play the explosive performance he did in the first quarter after changing a group of teammates.
boom!
As soon as Wang Yan came on the court, he received a pass from Thomas and slammed it down!
He announced with this dunk: The Cavaliers are about to widen the score again!
The Celtics substitutes secretly groaned, why did this guy come on the court early again?
Under the leadership of Wang Yan and Thomas Jr., the Cavaliers' substitutes were full of fighting spirit and played a wave of attacks!
With 6 minutes and 11 seconds left in the second quarter, the Cavaliers led by 7 points again!
Rivers hugged his shoulders on the sidelines, looking hopeless.
There was no other choice, he had to change the starting lineup again, hoping that Wang Yan's physical strength would decline.
However, Wang Yan did not need to rest at all, he continued to fight with the main lineup!
Yu Zaiqing nodded repeatedly. He basically understood Wang Yan’s strength. He was a genius in the basketball world!
Both his personal ability and his level of leadership are rare in history.
In the end, at the end of the game, the Cavaliers easily defeated the Celtics again and won their second victory in the second round of the playoffs.
Wang Yan played for 37 minutes today and scored 52 points, a perfect performance!
The Cavaliers' home fans were reluctant to leave for a long time, shouting Wang Yan's name to support the hero in their hearts.
The two easy home wins made Celtics fans miserable.
The media didn't give any face at all, and almost all the voting results showed that the Cavaliers swept the Celtics.
There is no way. Judging from these two games, the Celtics have no ability to fight back.
Apart from the substitute lineup which can still gain some advantage, the starting lineup will lose points.
After the interview, Wang Yan took a shower, changed his clothes, and prepared to go back and celebrate with Liu Yifei.
Because there are two away games coming up and the two will have to be separated temporarily, so Wang Yan must cherish this opportunity tonight.
Unexpectedly, just as Wang Yan was leaving the stadium in a hurry, a Cavaliers staff member stopped Wang Yan.
"King, someone wants to see you."
Wang Yan didn't even turn his head and waved his hand to refuse: "I'm busy, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
His mind is now full of Liu Yifei's uniform temptation.
Before today's game, Liu Yifei sent him a message, telling him that if Wang Yan could score 50+ in today's game, Liu Yifei would prepare a special gift for him. Wang Yan was excited just thinking about it.
Last time it was a beautiful prosecutor, what is it this time?
Could it be the little nurse?
Or is it office stocking temptation?
The staff hurriedly caught up and said, "It's the Chinese Basketball Association officials who want to see you. They are very sincere."
Wang Yan was stunned and stopped.
"Officials from the Chinese Basketball Association? Could it be the Olympics?"
Wang Yan actually still wanted to contribute to the country, but he didn't have a good impression of these Basketball Association officials.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to go and meet him.
Wang Yan and Yu Zaiqing met in a small conference room.
"Wang Yan, hello, let me introduce myself. I am Yu Zaiqing from the Chinese Basketball Association."
Yu Zaiqing took out a business card and handed it over.
Wang Yan took a quick look and found out that it was the chairman of the Basketball Association.
He nodded calmly: "Hello, do you need me for something?"
Yu Zaiqing saw that Wang Yan was clearly a young man, but he had a calm temperament and was neither humble nor arrogant, which was indeed rare, and he had the demeanor of a general.
"It's like this, the Olympics are about to begin, and we are preparing for the Olympics. Basketball is a traditional sport in our country, and we need excellent players like you to join us. How about it? Consider it!"
Given Yu Zaiqing's status here, his words can't help but sound official.
However, his attitude in speaking was still very sincere.
Wang Yan did not give a direct answer, but replied with a smile: "I have always hoped to serve the country, but I have my own conditions. Can you meet them?"
Yu Zaiqing felt uncomfortable when he heard this, because domestic players did not dare to talk to him like this.
The national team wants to recruit you because they think highly of you. Do you still dare to make conditions?
But Wang Yan’s strength is there.
Without him, the national team wouldn't even make it out of the group stage, let alone the quarterfinals.
Besides, Wang Yan has already made it clear that he hopes to serve the country.
"Okay, tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you!" Yu Zaiqing put on a smile and threw out the words first, wanting to hear Wang Yan's conditions.
"My conditions are not very demanding. First of all, apart from the Olympics, I will not participate in other national team competitions because I am also very busy here. If the national team needs me, they can discuss it with me in advance."
Although Yu Zaiqing was unhappy, he felt that what Wang Yan said was acceptable and decided to finish the Olympics first.
"No problem, I promise! Any other conditions?"
"Also, the second condition is that I hope to participate in the specific tactical customization of the game. Of course, I don't want to be above the coach, but I just want to exert my greatest ability, and I also hope that my teammates can exert the strongest combat power with me!"
Yu Zaiqing pondered for a moment and felt a little embarrassed.
Because the coach of China's men's national basketball team in this Olympics is Howard from the United States.
Deng Huade also has a stubborn temper.
What if there is friction between Coach Deng Huade and Wang Yan, who should we listen to then?
If it gets out of hand, it will have a negative impact on the entire team.
Seeing Yu Zaiqing bowing his head and keeping silent, Wang Yan added: "Chairman Yu, don't worry, I'm not a troublemaker. I won't openly contradict the coach. It's just that during training, I hope he can communicate more with the players."
Yu Zaiqing let out a long sigh, smiled and nodded, "Wang Yan, thank you for your understanding. I can agree to this condition. It shows that you are very serious and responsible for the team. This is great!"
Wang Yan was also very satisfied with Zaiqing's words, which showed that he was a leader who could get things done.
After the general direction was decided, the two began to discuss the details of the national team lineup.
"Wang Yan, this is the current roster of the national team. Have you known them before?"
Yu Zaiqing thought that if Wang Yan was not familiar with other members of the national team, he would need to make some preparations in advance, such as watching the national team's game videos.
But Wang Yan's words greatly surprised Yu Zaiqing.
"I usually watch domestic games, and I'm familiar with these players!"
Wang Yan was also a football fan before he traveled through time, and he knew all the domestic and foreign football stars well.
Therefore, he is very clear about the technical and tactical level and personal characteristics of the national team members.
Yu Zaiqing said happily: "It seems that you are a caring person. With such intensive NBA games, you still care about domestic players."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I think the national team's lineup can be like this. Let Wang Dazhi play the five position, Yi Lian play the four position, and I play the three position small forward. As for the two position... let Zhu Fangyu, his shooting is very good."
"I'm a little unsure about the No. 2 position. Guo Ailun and Sun Yue each have their own characteristics. One is fast, has good ball control, and is more aggressive in breakthroughs, while Sun Yue is 03 meters tall and has a height advantage, taller than almost all the point guards on the national team. I think we can make a decision on the spot based on the specific opponent!"
Wang Yan spoke eloquently and explained the characteristics of these players on the national team clearly.
Yu Zaiqing nodded repeatedly. He didn't expect that Wang Yan was not only familiar with the players of the Chinese national team, but also knew their personal characteristics clearly.
"Wang Yan, your experience and skills are unmatched by domestic players. The coach will definitely ask for your opinion when the time comes. I can guarantee that!"
"I feel relieved when you say this. I don't like intrigue. My only goal in joining the national team is to lead the team to victory. I also make a prediction. As long as the whole team works well together, our Chinese men's basketball team can make it to the finals!"
Yu Zaiqing thought he had heard wrongly and was stunned.
"What... final? You mean the Olympic final?"
Wang Yan nodded: "Yes, I guarantee that I can enter the finals. If nothing unexpected happens, our opponent in the finals should be the US team!"
Although Yu Zaiqing admired Wang Yan's confidence, Wang Yan's opening words were about the Olympic finals, which was a bit...
"Haha, Wang Yan, the goal is the goal. We can work hard in this direction. Come on!"
Wang Yan didn't say anything more. He knew that Yu Zaiqing didn't believe it. After all, the best result in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team was the quarterfinals. Now suddenly hearing that they had entered the finals was really incredible.
After seeing Yu Zaiqing off, Wang Yan hurried home.
I found that Liu Yifei was wearing a maid outfit again today.
"Wow! You're amazing!"
Wang Yan couldn't stand it anymore and immediately started fighting with Liu Yifei impatiently!
. . . .
The Cavaliers are doing well, but the Celtics are in trouble.
Trailing 0:2, the situation was very unfavorable and there was no hope of a comeback.
On the plane back to Boston, the Celtics held an emergency meeting.
The content of the meeting is to determine the tactical core of the next game.
If the Celtics can't keep their home court, they will really be swept.
After half an hour of discussion, Rivers finally announced: "The core of our tactics for the next game is to double-team Wang Yan! Not only double-team, but also triple-team at critical moments!"
Defensive tactics changed again.
