Chapter 139 takes another step forward and sets off a new three-point trend!

Chapter 139

Wang Yan shot at high speed and threw the ball almost at the moment before the end of the game.

Warriors fans feel desperate, is this okay?
Swish!
Hollow into the network!

The Warriors players became anxious and rushed to the referee, indicating that the ball had timed out.

In fact, they didn't see it clearly, but Wang Yan shot at the last minute, so the referee had to confirm. What if Wang Yan's slender fingers didn't leave the basketball before the red light came on?
To be honest, the referee didn't see it clearly, but in order to calm the players' doubts, he walked to the sidelines to check the replay.

The big screen above also repeatedly played the moment when Wang Yan took action from various angles.

After slowing down the video several times, the fans and players finally saw clearly that Wang Yan's shot was effective!

Just a few centimeters after the basketball left his fingers, the red timing light came on.

The only thing to play is the heartbeat!

The Warriors players were all dejected, and now it was the turn of the Cavaliers players to excitedly rush towards Wang Yan, bumping their chests with him and roaring to celebrate their victory.

Mark Jackson wasn't too sad, he was in deep thought.

The Warriors were able to fight back and forth with the uncrowned champions, but only lost at the last moment. What does this show?
This shows that the Warriors shouldn't have had this record.

The reason why they were able to almost tie with the Cavaliers was that he removed the seal on Curry and Thompson in this game.

Is it possible that... three-pointers are really going to dominate the game?
Not only Mark Jackson is thinking about this issue, but players, coaching staff, and retired stars across the league are all thinking about this issue!

The emergence of Wang Yan overturned the basketball concepts of all experts.

After the Cavaliers players celebrated, Curry also walked towards Wang Yan.

This is Curry's character. No matter how unwilling he is to lose, he will always sincerely express his gratitude to his opponent instead of turning around and leaving.

"Wang, you have improved again. I really don't know how high you will reach in the future!"

Curry still has a sharp vision.

Wang Yan held Curry's hands and was very excited. He finally indirectly stimulated Curry's potential and allowed Curry to reach his peak state ahead of time.

This season may be the season when Curry breaks out, and Wang Yan once again changed the course of history.

If the Splash Brothers had exploded earlier, Mark Jackson might not have been fired by management.

"Stephen, your spring has also arrived, keep going!"

Wang Yan was not in a position to say much and could only encourage Curry.

Curry suddenly said at this time: "Thank you, Wang, thank you very much!"

Wang Yan was stunned and asked, "What are you thanking me for?"

"I don't know if I'm wrong, you are helping me..."

Curry said meaningfully.

Wang Yan thought to himself, Curry was indeed smart, he actually guessed it.

It is not difficult to understand why Wang Yan suddenly criticized Mark Jackson's tactics for being too rigid and not paying enough attention to three-pointers in front of the media.

In fact, I am just speaking for Curry.

Wang Yan felt very relieved, but he still pretended to be confused. He answered in bewilderment: "How can I help you? You are overthinking it. You have the ability to do it yourself!"

The two of them smiled knowingly and said nothing more.

it is more than words.

Tang Shen also came over afterwards.

Although he was not good at speaking, he still respected and admired Wang Yan.

"Hey! Your buzzer beaters are amazing. From what I remember, they all went in. How did you do that?"

Tang Shen is Tang Shen, he is straightforward. He raised his doubts in front of Wang Yan.

Wang Yan had no way to explain it to him, so he could only shrug and half-jokingly answer, "I'm lucky. Every time I shoot a buzzer-beater, the basket is as wide as the ocean!"

Tang Shen smiled bitterly: "Then I hope you will always be lucky!"

“Thank you, haha!”

The conversation between the two was very abstract, and the photographers nearby were all confused.

At this time, Mark Jackson actually came in front of Wang Yan.

Generally speaking, coaches will not chat with opposing players after the game, at most they will just say hello.

When Wang Yan saw Mark Jackson coming, he just looked at him and thought he was here to quarrel with him.

"Wang, it seems you are right, now is the era of three-pointers!"

Unexpectedly, Mark Jackson took the initiative to acknowledge the importance of three-pointers.

He was defeated by Wang Yan!
Wang Yan didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, the person opposite him was the head coach, who was much older than him.

"Mark, don't mind me. What I said in front of the media was just a casual remark."

Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Wang Yan also spoke softly.

But Mark Jackson shook his head and said seriously: "You are right. If it weren't for you, I might never pay attention to three-pointers in my life!"

Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction and said quietly, "Not everyone can shoot a three-pointer. Your team has such a talented player, don't waste him!"

"Don't worry, I will make changes!"

The two chatted for a long time like old friends.

Curry was watching from the side and felt even happier. It seemed that he would be able to shoot three-pointers as he pleased in the future!

Wang Yan had a hunch that Kerr probably wouldn't be able to come to the Warriors because Mark Jackson had already awakened.

In the original parallel world, Mark Jackson led the Warriors to lose to their old rival the Clippers in the playoffs, which led to his dismissal.

If Curry and Thompson changed their playing style in advance, there would be a high probability of defeating the Clippers.

After the commotion, Wang Yan and his teammates returned to the hotel.

The system's voice came to his mind again -

[The host won the three-point battle between Curry and Thompson, and got a super long three-pointer from peak Stephen Curry + peak Damian Lillard! ]

Wang Yan was excited again.

The farthest three-point shot before was only one meter away from the three-point line, but Curry and Coach Lee’s super long three-point shot can be shot from the center circle, and the hit rate is not low!

"Haha! The NBA is shaking! My arsenal is getting richer and richer!"

. . . .

After this game, many teams held emergency discussions and watched the game videos repeatedly, including the Lakers.

James and Kobe were silent after watching the game.

They never expected that Wang Yan's three-point shot would evolve to such a terrifying level.

What surprised the two even more was that Curry and Thompson of the Warriors also "learned bad things".

They actually threw them randomly, and their hit rate was quite high!
"Kobe, it seems that three-pointers have become the future trend of basketball. We must take it seriously!" James said worriedly.

Although Kobe was shocked, he became even more excited because he was naturally aggressive.

He is already good at three-point shooting, so I guess he will have to practice it more.

"That's right. We should not only focus on three-pointers on offense, but also actively run on defense. Peripheral defense is too important!"

Kobe attaches great importance to defense. No matter how hard he plays on offense, he never slacks off on defense.

In order to maintain sufficient physical strength on the offensive end, some stars slack off on the defensive end and let their teammates clean up the mess for them.

Although from the data point of view, they are similar.

But judging from the game, it’s completely different!
The Lakers' internal training content is quietly changing. James and Kobe worked with the coach to create a new training plan. The Cavaliers' next game went smoothly, and the sudden three-point craze swept the entire league!
As long as Wang Yan made a good shot, the lead was basically 20+.

However, Wang Yan is not a selfish person. If the opponent is not very strong, he will reduce the number of shots, let his teammates practice more on the court, and increase the proportion of three-pointers.

Needless to say, Irving is good at three-point shooting and has a big heart. He becomes more accurate in critical moments.

But others are far behind and need a lot of practice.

In terms of tactics, the Cavaliers also led the league's trend and invented many new tactics.

For example, the evolved version of the "elevator door" screen tactic, the fake pass and straight shot tactic after a breakthrough pass, and so on.

Although the Cavaliers' three-point tactics are almost invincible, they occasionally encounter collective failures and almost fail.

For example, there was a game where we challenged the Trail Blazers away from home.

This is also a game that Wang Yan is looking forward to, because he has the opportunity to compete with Coach Li in three-point shooting.

Fans are also looking forward to this game because this year, Coach Li is actually more popular than Curry.

Because Lillard also has a big heart, he often turns the tide at the last moment!

Such scenes are so shocking that they leave a deep impression on the fans.

Coach Li also created a classic celebration method that belongs only to him.

It means "look at the watch"!
In his previous life, the reason why Lillard was always dissatisfied with Curry was because he felt that his three-point shooting was more powerful than Curry's.

But after years of competition, Curry has proved his superstar status and is stronger than Lillard.

Although Curry doesn't have many buzzer beaters in his games, it's because the peak Warriors often lead their opponents by a large margin in the third quarter, so they simply use buzzer beaters to win.

For example, good doctors are divided into three types. The third type is those who save lives and cure diseases with just one medicine.

The second level is to diagnose the condition from the subtle details and find symptoms that ordinary doctors cannot detect.

The first-tier doctor can inform you in advance based on your living habits to avoid injuries.

The peak Warriors are like this. As long as one of Curry and Thompson gets hot and starts shooting, the victory is basically secured.

The knights, under the leadership of Wang Yan, are now in this state, or even stronger.

Because Wang Yan’s dominance in the interior is still invincible!
. . . .

8pm, Rose Garden Arena.

The Cavaliers challenge the Trail Blazers away.

Lillard made a bold statement before the game: I will use three-pointers to defeat the Cavaliers and defeat Wang Yan!

It seems that Wang Yan has just entered the "three-point field", and many people are dissatisfied.

You are a big guy, it's fine for you to dominate the inside, but now you want to dominate the outside?

In the first quarter, Lillard made a lot of three-pointers amid the cheers of the home crowd.

In fact, Lillard's three-point shooting percentage is not high, but he often hits it at critical moments, so he left a deep impression on the fans.

However, Lillard seemed to be assisted by God today, making 7 of 4 three-pointers in the first quarter.

On the other hand, Wang Yan didn't even shoot a three-pointer in the first quarter.

He even took only a pitiful 5 shots and scored 6 points.

This led to the Trail Blazers taking an 8-point lead in the first quarter.

Head coach Scott didn't understand what Wang Yan meant. When Wang Yan was resting, he leaned over and asked, "Wang, are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Yan smiled and shook his head, saying mysteriously: "Don't worry, coach, I'll show you a surprise later!"

As long as he confirmed that Wang Yan was in good health, Scott would feel relieved.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers still played smoothly, but Wang Yan was not in a hurry and tried his best to pass the ball to his teammates.

Fortunately, Butler and Irving had good touch today and they made an effort in the second half of the second quarter to gradually narrow the gap.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was 62:56, with the Trail Blazers leading by 6 points.

Lillard scored 25 points in the first half and was in great form.

Wang Yan scored 19 points, far below his average.

Lillard was very excited. Every time he scored a goal, he would run to Wang Yan and roar loudly, as if he had stepped on Wang Yan.

Wang Yan didn't bother to argue with him and pretended not to see it.

But his teammates couldn't stand it anymore, and Butler and Middleton almost fought with Lillard.

At the start of the second half, Wang Yan still did not take many shots, but he increased his intensity on the defensive end.

The score difference has remained around 5 points.

At this time, Lillard seemed to realize that Wang Yan was controlling the pace of the game.

But Lillard is not afraid. He thinks that as long as the score is close, the final moments of the fourth quarter will be his world!
Sure enough, with more than 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers were still leading by 7 points.

The Cavaliers called a timeout. Scott didn't say anything. Wang Yan clapped his hands, gathered his teammates together, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, bring out the defensive intensity of the finals and give me the ball!"

The teammates also felt that Wang Yan was different from usual, but since he said so, everyone was relieved.

The game continues.

Lillard is full of confidence and feels that he can defeat the powerful uncrowned champion Cavaliers at home today!
You still want to compete with me for three points? Who gives you the confidence?

Cavaliers attack.

As soon as Wang Yan crossed half court, he reached out for the ball and Irving passed it to him immediately.

At this time, Wang Yan still had one foot on the center circle line.

The defensive players retreated to the three-point line, thinking that Wang Yan would just shoot a three-pointer.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan actually made a move in the center circle!
The defensive players were shocked, and Lillard also felt something was wrong.

The Cavaliers teammates were also stunned.

This is not Wang Yan’s style!

The result... bang!

He used a little too much force and the basketball hit the rim and bounced out.

The home Trail Blazers fans, including the Trail Blazers players on the field, all had mocking expressions on their faces.

TT was very aggressive and took advantage of the opponent's inattention to grab the frontcourt rebound.

However, he did not force his way in, but passed the ball to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan made some adjustments and glanced at the basket again.

Lillard felt that Wang Yan would not throw the ball again. After all, this was not a buzzer-beater and it was not the last moment.

But Wang Yan actually attacked again, still in the center circle.

crazy!

Everyone thinks so!
Swish!
Super long three-pointer, hit!
After scoring the goal, Wang Yan performed Lillard's celebration gesture in front of the astonished eyes of the audience.

Look at your watch!
Lillard looked unhappy, but he felt that it was Wang Yanmeng's.

The point difference returned to 4 points.

In the next round, Lillard advanced with the ball, and he had to return the favor to Wang Yan.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan took the initiative to run to the outside to defend him.

Lillard rushed left and right, trying to use his small force to defeat the bigger opponent.

But he couldn't get rid of Wang Yan no matter how hard he tried, and was actually given a 24-second violation!
Don’t forget, Wang Yan was the DPOY last season!

Behind the crazy offensive maniac, he also has the identity of the league's best defense!
