Chapter 114 Finals 2-0! Two Finals 100+!
Chapter 114

The result of the first game of the finals has strengthened the belief of more people that the Cavaliers will win the championship.

Because judging from the course of the game, the entire Cavaliers team was in a slump, with only Wang Yan carrying the team forward.

Even so, the Cavaliers still won.

And the big four of Thunder who fought their way out of the Western Conference were unable to defeat Wang Yan alone in a group fight!

Judging from this result, Wang Yan is even more terrifying than Jordan back then.

Those who are familiar with Jordan know that when he was a rookie, Jordan also carried the team forward by himself.

But he didn't make it out of the East for many years.

Although the eras are different and it is difficult to compare, Wang Yan’s performance is at least not worse than that of Boss Qiao, and may even be stronger!

TNT took advantage of this wave of popularity and produced another program.

In addition to Barkley and Smith, O'Neal, Olajuwon and Reggie Miller served as guests again.

Da Meng has been particularly active recently, which is completely different from his previous low-key personality.

There is only one reason, that is, he likes Wang Yan too much.

Dameng felt that Wang Yan’s technical style was very similar to his own, he was talented and skilled.

Especially Wang Yan’s imitation of Da Meng’s dreamy footsteps is unique.

He felt that Wang Yan's dreamy footsteps were more flexible and unpredictable than his own!

Barkley first said: "Everyone, the first game of the finals is over. Wang Yan scored 65 points again, breaking Baylor's finals scoring record. This kid is too scary. Do you have anything to say?"

Reggie Miller gave a thumbs up and praised: "The other players on the Cavaliers were really bad, luckily Wang Yan stepped up, otherwise the Thunder would definitely have won the away game."

O'Neal nodded and said, "Wang Yan is not only able to carry the banner on the offensive end, but he is also a barrier for the Cavaliers on the defensive end. I really admire him!"

This is not him being polite. O'Neal's defense and shooting have always been average.

It's just that his offense is too strong, which covers up his other weaknesses.

But Wang Yan is different, he is too comprehensive!
To be honest, if O'Neal could have Wang Yan's shooting and defense, he might be able to compete with Jordan and win six or seven championships!
Da Meng said proudly: "Wang Yan did not disappoint me. His performance in the finals was totally unlike that of a rookie. He was calm and composed and turned the tide!"

Barkley joked: "Dream, if Wang Yan wants to attend your training class during the offseason, will you charge a fee?"

Everyone burst into laughter and looked at Dameng.

To be honest, Dream's training class is the most valuable because his skills are very practical and can be of great help to both inside and outside players.

Kobe and Wade have both attended DreamWorks' classes and benefited greatly from them.

Old fans all know that Kobe and Wade's footsteps are also fantastic, and they follow the rules and almost never travel!

But there is only one star player who seems to have made little improvement in his skills after signing up for Dream's training class.

That is James.

Especially after the video was leaked, the fans couldn't help laughing.

James' physical coordination limits his technical improvement.

. . . .

Although everyone is praising Wang Yan and the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers are still very low-key.

Especially the head coach Scott, who severely reprimanded all the players after the game, except Wang Yan.

Wang Yan couldn't bear it any longer.

But he also knew in his heart that Scott was disappointed with his son.

The first game was too obvious. The other players, who were playing in the finals for the first time, all seemed to be confused.

Didn't perform at normal level at all.

Seeing Scott beating up his teammates endlessly, Wang Yan walked over to help.

"Coach, this is everyone's first time playing in the finals, so it's inevitable to be nervous. Let's just practice!"

After being reminded by Wang Yan, Scott also felt that he had gone a bit too far.

He nodded and said solemnly: "You should all learn from Wang Yan and have the demeanor of a great general, and don't be restrained!"

However, experience is gained through game after game.

Who can be so calm without experiencing the stage of the finals?

Talented players like Wang Yan are very rare.

Two days later, the second game of the finals began.

There were no changes to the starting lineups for both teams.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Cavaliers players were still in poor condition.

Wang Yan tried his best to use his attractiveness to create opportunities for his teammates.

The Thunder's defensive focus has also changed.

In the first game of the finals, Wang Yan was basically defended by one man in the first half.

But in today's game, the Thunder attacked Wang Yan from the front and back right from the start.

Ibaka and Perkins tried their best.

However, although the defensive actions of these two people were tough, they were not dirty, and Wang Yan could accept it.

He is not afraid of tough tactics, and what he hates most is dirty tricks.

So Wang Yan really enjoyed this kind of confrontation.

In fact, even if these two people double-teamed him, Wang Yan could still attack, but he still felt that he should try his best to activate his teammates in the first half.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Cavaliers fell behind by 5 points again.

In the second half of the quarter, the Cavaliers players returned to normal.

Wang Yan's patience paid off, and his teammates finally started scoring goals.

After the first quarter, although Wang Yan only scored 8 points, he made 6 assists.

The Cavaliers finally look like a team, rather than a team just for Wang Yan.

欧文6投4中，拿到10分，巴特勒5投3中，拿到7分。

The score at the end of the first quarter was 34:30, with the Thunder leading by 4 points.

Harden played very well in the first quarter, scoring 16 points by himself, while Durant only scored 7 points.

At the start of the second quarter, Thomas Jr. led the substitutes to come on the court.

There was no way, Harden was too strong today and widened the score gap again.

Scott had no choice but to substitute Wang Yan early.

The current situation is similar to the first finals.

However, after Wang Yan came on the court, the referee suddenly went crazy again.

Harden started to play a risky game.

Logically speaking, Harden during this period did not like to make trouble.

When he was promoting the Jingdezhen Porcelain King, he later joined the Rockets.

Maybe it's in his bones, Harden thought of it in advance.

So Harden's two breakthroughs both hit Wang Yan, and Wang Yan had no time to dodge.

As a result, the referee really blew the whistle every time.

Wang Yan's number of fouls suddenly reached 3 times, and the second quarter had just started for more than 5 minutes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Scott quickly replaced Wang Yan.

Harden is very proud, he has done a great job!

After Wang Yan left, the entire Thunder team seemed to have released a seal and started to kill indiscriminately.

Although the other Cavaliers players fought hard, the Thunder's big four were still too strong!
Who would have thought that these four youngsters would produce three MVPs in the future!

At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was 61:45, with the Cavaliers trailing by 16 points.

The situation is very unfavorable for the Cavaliers.

The Thunder seems to have found a way to deal with Wang Yan, which is to let Harden touch Wang Yan.

Harden has strong offensive ability. If he takes the initiative to touch the opponent, and Wang Yan ignores it, he will be able to score.

If Wang Yan took the initiative to defend him, Harden's acting skills would be great and the referee would blow the whistle again.

Hard to do!
During the half-time break, Wang Yan said nothing. He frowned and thought about countermeasures.

Seeing that Wang Yan had a sullen face and didn't say anything, his teammates didn't dare to go over and talk to him.

The second half of the game begins.

The Thunder coach was very cunning. He saw that Harden was a bit of a "negative" to Wang Yan, so he promoted Harden to the starting lineup in the second half and replaced Sefolosha.

Wang Yan had a blank expression on his face and didn't seem nervous at all.

The Thunder attacked, and Durant passed the ball to Harden, deliberately letting him break through and look for Wang Yan to foul. Harden seemed very excited, and he passed the screen and rushed into the penalty area again.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan did not go to assist this time, but avoided it.

Harden saw from the corner of his eye that Wang Yan didn't come up, and he felt proud and easily scored a layup.

As the DPOY of the regular season, Harden is famous for not daring to defend himself.

The Cavaliers fans were very disappointed and shook their heads, thinking that Wang Yan was too cowardly.

Wang Yan still had no expression on his face and gestured to his teammates.

Cavaliers attack.

Wang Yan rushed to the restricted area, carried Ibaka and Perkins, and dunked with force, bang!

beep!
The referee blew the whistle and called 2+1!

The Cavaliers fans suddenly realized that Wang Yan wanted to fight against the Thunder?

But now the Cavaliers are so far behind, it’s not worthwhile to fight a head-on attack!
Wang Yan made the free throw.

In this way, the two teams started to fight against each other, and the scene was very exciting.

However, at the end of the third quarter, the Thunder still led by 14 points, 91:77.
With this style of play, the Thunder will definitely win this game.

Scott was a little panicked. If the Cavaliers lost their home-court advantage, the championship would be in jeopardy.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Wang Yan rested for three minutes and then returned to the court.

And Harden really thinks of himself as Wang Yan's nemesis. When Wang Yan goes down, he goes down, and when Wang Yan goes up, he also goes up.

Wang Yan sneered in his heart but said nothing.

The Thunder attack.

Harden once again used his breakthrough skills and made his way into the penalty area.

Anyway, if Wang Yan didn't come over to defend, he could score easily.

The other Cavaliers players really can't limit the bearded guy.

Harden saw from the corner of his eye that Wang Yan didn't follow him, and he knew what was going on.

When he got to the basket, Harden planned to make a short jump shot.

Unexpectedly, just as the basketball was shot, a figure pounced over!
boom!
A shocking hat.

Harden's shooting timing is very clever. It doesn't look fast, but he is rarely blocked.

Who would have thought that Wang Yan could accurately capture this fleeting moment and hit the ball towards the backboard.

The basketball bounced far and landed right in front of Butler.

Butler and Irving duo knocked on the door and initiated a fast break.

Irving made a layup at the end and scored two points.

Harden was confused at this time and didn't understand what was going on.

Wang Yan looked at Harden and shrugged. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear: "Come on, don't you want to make trouble?"

Thunder head coach Brooks felt something was wrong.

But the Thunder are still leading by a large margin, so he is still calm.

However, in the next few rounds, Harden's tactics of hitting the opponent completely failed.

Wang Yan didn't make any physical contact with him at all. After he shot, he used his long arms, big hands, and precise timing to block Harden's ball!

After this back and forth, the Cavaliers slowly caught up with the score.

第四节战至7分28秒，双方比分来到101:94，雷霆只领先7分了！

Brooks quickly called a timeout.

If this continues, the Cavaliers will overtake.

Harden no longer had the confidence he had in the first three quarters and walked to the sidelines in a daze.

If Westbrook hadn't taken the initiative to high-five him, he would have almost cried.

In the past few rounds, Harden was blocked four times in a row by Wang Yan. He was almost stunned...

The morale of the entire Cavaliers team was boosted, sweeping away the gloom in the past.

Wang Yan and his teammates bumped their chests, clapped their hands, and roared loudly.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

Harden went down to rest and Sefolosha returned to the game. The Thunder changed their style of play and let Durant and Westbrook initiate the offense again.

Durant was full of energy today. As soon as he came on the court, he made a mid-range shot facing Jamison.

Wang Yan was blocked by Ibaka and had no way to defend Durant.

The score difference was widened to 9 points.

If Durant and Westbrook cannot be restricted, the Thunder will still be the winner today.

Cavaliers attack.

Wang Yan dribbled the ball into the penalty area and attracted a three-man double-team.

Then Wang Yan passed the ball to Irving who was lurking in the bottom corner between the crowd.

Irving's big heart attribute is quietly awakening.

At this critical moment, Owen did not disappoint Wang Yan.

After receiving the ball, Irving shot decisively, whoosh!

Three point hit!

All the fans in the stadium cheered excitedly.

It’s not easy!
Owen also took the initiative to run over and high-five Wang Yan to celebrate.

The Thunder attack.

Wang Yan whispered a few words to Jamison, and then Wang Yan took the initiative to defend Durant.

Ibaka still wanted to stop Wang Yan, but it was already the second half of the fourth quarter, and Wang Yan had four fouls and no longer cared.

So he shook his shoulder and knocked Ibaka aside.

Ibaka grimaced in pain and looked at the referee.

But the referee ignored him.

It seems that the referee only favors Harden today.

When Durant saw Wang Yan coming to defend him, he was so scared that he didn't dare to attack.

The Thunder's offensive focus had to be given to Westbrook.

Westbrook was still doing well. He took on Irving alone and made his way into the penalty area.

But Irving was also anxious and was determined not to let him break through. He fouled him early and sent him to the free throw line.

Westbrook's free throws were average, making one of two.

Looking back, Wang Yan scored 2+1 again!

The balance of victory has quietly tilted towards the Cavaliers.

With more than 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, although Wang Yan made an alley-oop slam dunk, the score between the two teams came to 116:115, and the Cavaliers were only 1 point behind.

Thunder head coach Brooks called another timeout.

His face looked ugly.

The advantage of more than ten points was wiped out by Wang Yan.

Is the duck at your fingertips about to fly away?

After the timeout, the Thunder changed their style of play again, and Durant passed the ball to Sefolosha.

Sefolosha is a very good 3D player.

However, his three-pointer was still off target due to Wang Yan's interference.

TT jumped high and fiercely protected the rebound.

To be honest, TT performed very poorly in the playoffs, averaging only 7 rebounds per game.

But this rebound is very important!
As soon as TT grabbed the rebound, he saw Wang Yan had already reached the three-point line, so he immediately passed the ball to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan made another solo run to the basket.

boom!
With two points in hand, the Cavaliers finally took the lead!
It was simply a replay of the scene in Game 1, the entire Thunder team collapsed.

The home fans cheered loudly and were very excited.

With Wang Yan's strong performance, the Cavaliers finally defeated the Thunder and won two consecutive victories!
Wang Yan played 39 minutes today, scored 46 points, but made 12 assists.

In the first two games of the finals, Wang Yan had already scored 111 points, paying tribute to Singles' Day!
He became the fastest player to score 100 points in the NBA Finals in history!
