Chapter 138: A historic three-point showdown that shocked the entire audience!
Chapter 138
Wang Yan vs. Splash Brothers!
This game is destined to go down in history and become a highlight in the history of the development of three-point shots.
After three quarters, the score was 92:91, with the Cavaliers trailing by 1 point.
At this time, Wang Yan had made 11 three-pointers, breaking the historical record of three-pointers in a single game, just one goal away!
Curry also made 7 three-pointers, and Thompson happened to also make 7!
Mark Jackson's expression changed, and he seemed to have sensed the potential in Curry and Thompson.
"Is it possible... that the era of the three-point shot has really arrived?"
He muttered softly, and his previous unwillingness disappeared for the most part.
The fourth quarter began and both teams came on as substitutes.
After only two minutes of play, the Cavaliers were trailing by 8 points.
Scott had to replace the main players early, as the Warriors' substitutes were very strong.
Bazemore and Jack are both good at scoring.
Especially Jack, this guy has a special attribute, that is, every time he joins a team, he can go from a substitute to a main player.
The main players were either injured or played worse and worse, as if they were under a spell.
However, he has not yet become a starter for the Warriors.
In fact, he also has a chance, because Curry still had a glass ankle in the first two years and was often injured.
But ever since Curry changed his way of exerting force from his ankles to his hips at the suggestion of the team doctor, he has rarely been injured.
Jack has a clear advantage over Thomas, both in height and technique.
Wang Yan and Irving came on early, while other main players continued to rest.
As the game continued, Irving and Jack began to compete on the offensive end, and Wang Yan quickly limited Jack's breakthrough through assisting defense.
Irving never disappoints in the fourth quarter.
As soon as he came on, he scored 7 points in a row by breaking through and shooting.
The Warriors' substitute offense stagnated, and Wang Yan had 1 more steal and 2 more blocks.
In desperation, Mark Jackson had to replace all the main players.
Wang Yan did not take a shot in the fourth quarter. He was just focusing on defense. He was just waiting for the Splash Brothers to come up.
It's just like playing chess, it's more fun when you play against a master.
The more you play chess with a bad chess player, the worse you get!
Curry's seal has been released, and he seems unstoppable.
As soon as he came on, he shook off Irving and made a drifting three-pointer!
The score difference widened again.
Wang Yan originally wanted to respond immediately, but when he saw Owen eager to try, he made a gesture to Owen to cover him.
Facing Curry, Irving also pretended to break through, then went around Wang Yan and retreated to outside the three-point line to shoot!
Swish!
hit!
Irving also had a great time.
Since Irving is in hot form, Wang Yan is not in a hurry to break the record.
This is why Wang Yan can become the boss of the team.
The team leader must have top skills, but the most important thing is to take care of his brothers, otherwise it will cause internal conflicts within the team.
Irving then broke into the penalty area again and scored 2+1!
Curry and Irving started to compete with each other, and the game was getting better and better.
Thompson also reduced his shots, allowing Curry and Irving to throw the ball to each other.
The scores of both sides rose alternately.
With 8 minutes and 27 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Curry made another layup and the Warriors led by 3 points.
It's Owen's turn.
Thompson suddenly launched a fierce pressure on Irving.
When he was young, Thompson was a stalwart on the perimeter defense. He had an advantage in height among guards and was also strong enough.
Irving had difficulty shooting under Thompson's tight defense.
Seeing that time was running out for the attack, Wang Yan positioned himself in the penalty area and yelled, “Give it to me!”
Owen was worried, but when he heard Wang Yan's voice, he felt safe!
Whoosh!
Irving passed the ball to Wang Yan with a ground pass.
Wang Yan faced Bogut, bumped into him, and then made a fake move to trick Bogut into jumping up.
chap!
Low layup, two points!
All Cavaliers fans know that Wang Yan is about to take over the game!
The Warriors attack.
Thompson used the cover of his teammates to go around the right sideline and took a shot before Butler could pounce on him!
Swish!
Three point hit!
As expected of Thompson, he showed no mercy at all in the final stage of the fourth quarter!
The score difference came to 4 points again.
The Cavaliers attack.
Wang Yan was originally positioning himself next to the restricted area, but suddenly, he shook off Bogut and retreated outside the three-point line.
Butler passed the ball.
The Warriors were also well prepared, and Mark Jackson kept Green on the court.
Although Green is not a starter now, his defensive ability has begun to show, so in the fourth quarter, Mark Jackson sometimes keeps him on the court.
As soon as Wang Yan retreated to the three-point line, Green came up.
It’s true that although Green is less than 2 meters tall, his defense is extremely oppressive.
Wang Yan felt very uncomfortable.
But this did not pose a problem for Wang Yan. He pretended to break through, and at the moment when Green's center of gravity moved, he suddenly dribbled the ball between his legs and pulled the ball back!
The magnitude of the movement was beyond Green's expectations.
Pfft!
Green was unexpectedly tripped by Wang Yanhuang's legs and fell down!
There were exclamations from the Warriors home court.
Afterwards, Wang Yan calmly made a three-point shot!
Swish!
This goal is destined to be the first of today's top five goals!
And the Warriors fans were also very generous. When they knew that Wang Yan broke the record, half of the Warriors fans stood up and applauded.
Wang Yan didn't care about this record and didn't celebrate.
After all, there was not much time left and the score was very close.
For Wang Yan, only the team’s winning record is meaningful.
Otherwise it will become a milestone.
Now it has turned into a confrontation between Wang Yan and Thompson.
The Warriors attack.
Thompson is having a blast and shoots again!
Unfortunately, I threw it a little hastily this time and it went a little off target.
Bogut grabbed the rebound and passed it to Thompson.
If it were someone else, I would probably feel embarrassed to vote.
But Thompson had a very good psychological quality and remained unmoved, and he attacked again.
When he wanted to shoot, even Curry was forgotten by him!
Swish!
So arrogant!
After another three-pointer, the Warriors led by 4 points again.
At this time, there was 1 minute and 25 seconds left in the game and the score was 127:123.
The situation is very unfavorable for the Cavaliers, and Thompson has entered a state of madness!
Wang Yan knew that under such circumstances, defense must be strengthened.
Because the Warriors' offense is also at a historical level.
If you ask Wang Yan whether he regrets unleashing the potential of the Splash Brothers?
the answer is negative.
Wang Yan hopes that the opponent is as strong as possible, only in this way can the game be exciting!
In the next round, Wang Yan did not shoot a three-pointer, but instead faked a shot outside the three-point line, fooling the double-team of Green and Bogut and making his way into the restricted area!
Both inside players were pulled to the outside, leaving the Warriors' inside line extremely empty.
Wang Yan flew up for a dunk and also caused Barnes to commit a blocking foul!
2+1!
Wang Yan's offensive methods are too rich. Although the Warriors' inside line is the best in the league, with Bogut and Green, they still can't defend Wang Yan's inside-out style of play. The free throw was made, and the Warriors still led by 1 point.
There are 1 minutes and 03 seconds left on the clock.
The Warriors attack.
Curry faced Irving and dribbled the ball continuously, showing his agility and versatility to the fullest!
Wang Yan watched from afar and was happy for Curry!
This is the real Curry!
Irving's defensive ability is average. He and Curry can explode with each other on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, neither of them can defend the other.
Taking advantage of Irving's shifting center of gravity, Curry suddenly retreated outside the three-point line and took a three-point shot!
The audience exclaimed: "Wow! Curry learns from Wang Yan very quickly!"
Wang Yan and Curry were speechless when they heard what the audience said.
Curry thought to himself: I already know these, but the coach doesn’t allow me to use them.
Wang Yan thought: How can I explain this to you? I learned this from the future Curry...
Swish!
After a three-pointer, the score difference returned to 4 points.
There are only 42 seconds left.
The balance of victory seems to be leaning towards the Warriors.
The home fans were extremely excited. Could the Warriors defeat the powerful Cavaliers today?
Scott wanted to call a timeout, but Wang Yan waved his hand at him, indicating that it was not necessary.
In that case, let’s see how Wang Yan performs.
The Cavaliers were on offense, and the Warriors suddenly pressed the entire court, trying to consume the Warriors' offense time.
But Irving made a long pass and accurately passed the ball to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan rushed to the paint area and faced Bogut's defense. He suddenly made a jump shot and scored two points.
The Warriors only took 5 seconds to complete this attack.
The score difference returned to 2 points with 37 seconds left.
Theoretically, each side has one attacking opportunity.
If both teams can score, the Warriors will win.
The Warriors attacked, Curry held the ball in the backcourt, Wang Yan shouted, and the Cavaliers also began to press the whole court!
The Cavaliers’ full-court press is even more fierce. This is a team that has been to the finals and won the championship!
Under Wang Yan's coaching, the Cavaliers' overall defensive performance is the best in the league!
Butler and Irving switched defense, and he went to press Curry.
Although Curry has top-notch dribbling skills, Butler's defense is not bad either.
Thompson saw Curry staggering and hurried over to help.
Irving stuck close to Thompson and prevented him from receiving the ball.
At this time, Green also ran to the center line and reached out to receive the ball.
At this time, Wang Yan was about three meters away from Green, and there was no one else around Green.
So Curry confidently threw the ball hard and passed it to Green.
Suddenly, Wang Yan appeared like a ghost, pushed Bogut aside, and appeared next to Green like lightning.
bass!
Wang Yan jumped up, stretched out his long arms, and actually intercepted the ball!
If it was someone else, Green would definitely crash into him and get the ball back.
Even in the final stages of the game, the referee may not necessarily call a foul.
Boom!
After being hit by Green, Wang Yan not only did not fall down, but instead used the force to bounce back and accelerated his counterattack.
Wang Yan rushed to the front court and headed straight for the penalty area.
The Warriors only have Curry in the backcourt, with Green chasing behind.
This could not stop Wang Yan's attack.
boom!
Wang Yan made a slam dunk and scored two more points!
Poor Curry, he was almost dunked by Wang Yan.
Fortunately, Wang Yan had no aversion to Curry and had no intention of humiliating him. He took off from the side and bypassed Curry.
Tied!
Wang Yan equalized the score with an incredible steal!
The Warriors' 4-point lead was wiped out in an instant.
The home fans were stunned.
Green and Curry looked at each other and felt guilty.
In fact, neither of them made any mistakes. It can only be said that Wang Yan was too strong.
The Warriors still have a chance with 16 seconds left in the game.
Mark Jackson immediately called a timeout.
He also discovered that although Curry and Thompson played different basketball today and the effect was good, at the final crucial moment, Wang Yan was still better!
It was such a thrilling classic match that the two sides even tied again at the last minute!
Will there be overtime today?
Warriors fans don’t want to play overtime because they have seen how terrifying Wang Yan is and he gets stronger towards the end!
There are 16 seconds left, enough time for an attack.
It's best to hit it in one shot and then the game is over.
TNT's live broadcast room has exploded several times.
These historical basketball legends were all stunned by the stunning performances of Wang Yan, Curry and Thompson.
In their opinion, the three-point shot is a weak shot.
But after seeing the three-pointers of these three people, they realized that three-pointers can be shot this way!
Not only can these three players take the initiative to shoot three-pointers, but they can also combine them with fancy dribbling to shoot at the speed of light from any angle outside the three-point line!
Barkley smiled bitterly: "Alas, if I had teammates like Curry or Thompson in the Suns, I wouldn't have lost to Old Joe!"
O'Neal teased, "Forget it. In that era, if anyone dared to shoot a three-pointer like that, the coach would make him sit on the bench for a season or trade him immediately!"
Smith nodded and said, "Shaq is right. In fact, the reason why Curry dared to shoot like this is because he had no other choice today. Mark Jackson had no choice but to loosen the ropes. I guess in the next game, Curry and Thompson won't be able to shoot like this again."
Barkley sighed and said, "I was born at the wrong time. If I were paired with Curry and Thompson now, I would definitely win championships!"
O'Neal snorted disdainfully: "Forget it, with Wang Yan here, you should just be your runner-up!"
Barkley was so angry that he was speechless...
The timeout is over, the game continues, and the Warriors serve the ball in the frontcourt.
Green did not play and was replaced by David Lee because David Lee is stronger in offense.
Bogut passed the ball to Curry.
Curry faced Butler without dribbling. David Lee went to the high post and blocked Butler. Curry used the screen to get to the 45-degree angle.
This is Curry's shooting hot zone, and he scored at least four or five goals here today.
So Wang Yan immediately rushed forward to defend and did not give Curry any chance to shoot.
When Curry saw Wang Yan, he didn't dare to shoot. He dribbled to the middle and passed the ball to David Lee.
This tactic was actually very successful. It was a classic pick-and-roll. David Lee relied on his physical advantage to crush Butler and rush into the penalty area.
With 4 seconds left, David Lee made a layup!
Snapped!
Wang Yan came out from nowhere and blocked the ball!
The home fans' hearts were in their throats and they sighed.
The Warriors players hurried back to defense.
But Wang Yan did not use his full strength in this block, but instead controlled the direction.
The basketball flew straight to the front court.
Now it's time to compete in speed.
Players from both teams ran together, and Wang Yan was like Bolt, instantly surpassing all the players by one body length.
It would be a shame if such long legs were not used to ride a tricycle!
bass!
Wang Yan controlled the ball, rushed to the three-point line, received the ball and started, making a three-step shot!
There is more than 1 second left!
The home fans felt a black screen before their eyes, knowing that it was over...
bass!
At the last 0.3 seconds, Wang Yan realized that it was too late for a dunk, so he immediately shot a shot!
The moment the basketball left Wang Yan's fingers, the red timing light lit up!
