Chapter 153: Defeat all Western teams, Wang Yan obtains Bai Qiao’s passing skill package again!

第二节还剩1分17秒，比分来到53:46，骑士还落后7分。

It was a bit difficult for the Cavaliers to tie the score in the first half.

Because the Spurs' offense was also very sharp, Popovich replaced Ginobili to increase the offensive force.

The Spurs attack.

Ginobili used Duncan's pick-and-roll to break into the penalty area.

At this time, Wang Yan was outside the three-point line and had no time to assist in defense.

Manu's basketball IQ is indeed high. He executed the "stay away from Wang Yan" tactic very resolutely. When he reached the penalty area, he scored a layup with his left hand, whoosh!
The score difference came to 9 points again.

The Spurs home fans screamed and applauded excitedly, thinking they should be leading by a large margin in the first half.

Being able to lead the uncrowned champion by such a big margin at halftime is something we can brag about for a while.

However, they seem to have forgotten Wang Yan's explosive scoring power!

Cavaliers attack.

Wang Yan really couldn't hold back his anger.

Thomas had just dribbled past midfield when Wang Yan suddenly ran from near the penalty area to outside the three-point line.

Duncan was still fighting with Wang Yan, but when he saw Wang Yan running out, he knew something was wrong.

But his speed could not catch up with Wang Yan at all.

The Spurs' defensive strategy was very active. Leonard immediately gave up Butler to help Duncan chase Wang Yan.

Unfortunately, when Wang Yan ran outside the three-point line, Thomas passed the ball to him.

Wang Yan caught the ball and threw it!

Judging from his height, he doesn't care about Leonard's defense at all.

Indeed, although Leonard is extremely talented and a stalwart on the perimeter, he can even compete with some slightly shorter inside players.

But he couldn't even think about defending against Wang Yan's shooting.

Big three-pointer hit!

Wang Yan's shooting point is more than one meter outside the three-point line. The range is terrifying.

The Spurs players and fans were all shocked. Could it be that Wang Yan started again?

Popovich was watching from the sidelines, very anxious. He kept making gestures and shouting, "Double-team him! Double-team him!"

The only defensive strategy we can think of now is double-teaming.

Just like what happened to O'Neal back then, each team has a few meat shields who come one after another to attack the Big Shark.

Now Wang Yan is more terrifying than O'Neal because his shooting covers the entire half court, which is the level that O'Neal dreams of achieving.

The score difference instantly returned to 6 point.

The Spurs attack.

Ginobili broke through again, but Butler also became ruthless and stuck to him tightly, not giving him any chance to shoot.

At the same time, TT tried his best to block in the penalty area.

Ginobili has so many ways to attack, and he never panics.

After attracting the defense, Ginobili suddenly passed the ball to Parker in the corner.

This is Manu's vision, it's too wide.

There was once a classic pass by Ginobili, which was along the baseline, passing from one side to the other bottom corner, full of imagination!
However, he did not succeed this time, because Wang Yan had already seen that he was definitely going to pass the ball.

The only way to pass the ball is to the bottom corner on the other side.

So Wang Yan shook off Duncan and ran quietly to the bottom corner.

Just when Parker wanted to catch the ball, a dark shadow flashed in the air and the ball was confiscated!
Wang Yan!

Manu and Parker were both shocked and thought at the same time: Shouldn’t Wang Yan be…

They both turned their heads at the same time and looked at Duncan, only to find that there was no one around him.

It seems that Wang Yan predicted Manu's prediction in advance.

This is the ceiling of defense.

There are several levels of defense. The lowest level is that I will chase and defend wherever the offensive player is.

When it reaches the level of pursuit and defense, it has actually lost its position.

The middle-level defense is to move fast and stick closely to the offensive players, so that they can keep up even if you try various methods to get rid of them.

Achieving this level of defensive performance already makes him a top defensive player.

But this is not enough. If you want to achieve the top defense in history, you need to have the ability to predict in advance.

This ability can be cultivated, but talent comes first.

Some people work very hard but cannot predict.

While Wang Yan is working hard, his predictive ability is also super strong!
After stealing the ball, Wang Yan did not take credit for it, but made a long pass with precise guidance!

Whoosh!
Passed directly to Butler near the top arc.

At the same time, Thomas and Jamison split into two groups and charged across the court.

Even the Spurs, who have such strict defensive discipline, were slow to react.

By the time Leonard crossed half court, the ball had already been passed to Thomas.

Thomas Jr. rushed to the basket and scored a layup!

Through offense and defense, Wang Yan helped the team quickly narrow the gap to 4 points.

Spurs fans were dumbfounded.

The score difference was clearly heading towards double digits just now, how come it dropped to 1 points in less than a minute?
Popovich had the urge to call a timeout, but the first half was about to end and it was a bit of a waste.

So he had no choice but to roar angrily on the sidelines.

But in Wang Yan's opinion, he was just raging with impotence.

Sure enough, in the next few rounds, the Cavaliers team quickly switched to the defensive intensity of the finals, which was impenetrable!

The Spurs' offense stagnated.

On the offensive end, Wang Yan's shooting range without blind spots made it difficult for the Spurs to defend.

Wang Yan can shoot and pass, how to defend him?
As a result, at the end of the first half, the Cavaliers actually overtook by 1 point!
61: 60!

In the last minute or so, Wang Yan scored 1 points and provided 5 assists.

Although Duncan scored 2+1 for the Spurs, they couldn't stop the Cavaliers' finals-level offense and defense!

The home fans were really in tears. The situation was obviously good, so how could they be overtaken?

In the third quarter, the other players of the Cavaliers recovered their form, Wang Yan also made timely shots, and the Cavaliers completely suppressed the Spurs.

After three quarters, the Cavaliers were already leading by 16 points.

Several guests from TNT were completely convinced.

Even the cunning Popovich couldn't stop Wang Yan's Cavaliers. There's really a gap in level!
The Spurs are very strong this season and have never been defeated.

Even when competing against the Lakers teamed up with James and Kobe, they only lost by 4 points.

But facing the Cavaliers, there was really nothing we could do.

As soon as Wang Yan exerted his strength, he could no longer hold on.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Spurs 117:102.

Wang Yan scored 42 points today, the highest score for both teams, while the Spurs' highest scorer was Parker, who only scored 23 points.

This is the current situation of the Spurs. They don’t have an absolutely strong offensive point and are very average.

They rely on collective defense to limit the opponent's offense, and then defeat the opponent through their own stable scoring.

But it didn't work in today's game, for one reason only, that is they couldn't limit Wang Yan's scoring.

There's no way around it, that's the role of a superstar.

Just like when the OK combination faced the Spurs, Kobe had such an unstoppable performance.

After the game, Duncan took the initiative to hug Wang Yan and said humorously: "Not only the future is yours, but the present is yours too!"

Wang Yan almost laughed out loud.

It seems that this joke is also being played in this parallel world.

Because James was blocked by Wang Yan in this parallel world, he has not won the championship yet.

This joke is even funnier.

Wang Yan also said humorously: "The past is yours, your achievements are great, I will work hard!"

This answer was very respectful to Duncan, who patted Wang Yan on the shoulder without saying much. But from his performance, it can be seen that he was full of expectations for Wang Yan!

After the Spurs lost this game, their points are now the same as the Warriors.

The competition in the Western Conference is too fierce. The Thunder, ranked third, actually only has one win less than the Spurs and Warriors.

. . . .

When Wang Yan returned to the hotel at night and had just finished taking a shower, he heard the system sound.

Wang Yan felt very strange. There seemed to be no tasks recently. Why did the system come out again?

[The host defeated the Spurs in today's game, thus completing the record of defeating all Western Conference teams! ]

[Specially rewarding the host White Chocolate's passing skills! 】

Wang Yan jumped up with joy.

Seriously, he loves to pass the ball, but so far, his passing has been just okay.

Because of his height and long arms, he has a good vision and a natural advantage in passing.

It’s just that Wang Yan wanted to make some clever passes, but he couldn’t do it.

Firstly, the system did not give him a skill package, and secondly, his previous focus was on scoring and defense, so he did not have many opportunities to pass the ball.

But Wang Yan really wants to pass some good balls so that his teammates can easily score and increase team cohesion!
It seems that the system also noticed Wang Yan's desire to pass the ball.

So this reward is long overdue!
"Thank you system, Niubixla!"

[Host, don't be too happy too soon. In the next three games, if you can't complete 20 assists per game, the system will take back your passing skill package! ]

"What?"

Wang Yan was quite happy at first, but when he heard the conditions of the system, he threw the coffee cup in his hand to the ground.

"What the hell? 20 assists in three consecutive games? Is that something a human can do?"

[If it is not completed, the system will take back the skill package! ]

The system’s attitude is very firm, no room for negotiation!
Wang Yan had no choice. It seemed that the closer it got to the end, the harder it would be to get the reward.

He checked the schedule and saw that there were two away games in the Eastern Conference and one home game against the Nuggets.

It is indeed very difficult to complete this task.

The next day, the entire Cavaliers team flew directly to New York to challenge the Knicks away.

The Knicks are in strong momentum this year. The combination of Stoudemire, Anthony and Tyson Chandler has shown good chemical reaction.

Currently, the Knicks are ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

The two teams have played twice this season, and the Knicks lost both times.

But the difference is not too big.

And before this game, the Knicks had won ten consecutive games.

So fans hope that the Knicks can cause some trouble to the Cavaliers.

Of course, the fans also understand that it is too difficult to defeat the Cavaliers, and being able to create some trouble would be considered a success.

No one would have thought that Wang Yan was going to play big in this game!
In fact, Wang Yan also had a headache. 20 assists were indeed difficult because passing the ball was different from scoring by oneself.

No matter how well you pass the ball, you still need the cooperation of your teammates.

If your teammates have cold hands, your quick pass will be wasted.

. . . .

7:30 pm, Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks face the Cavaliers.

The Knicks' starting lineup is center Tyson Chandler, power forward Stoudemire, small forward Anthony, shooting guard Shumpert, and point guard Felton.

The Cavaliers' starting five is center TT, power forward Wang Yan, small forward Jamison, shooting guard Butler, and point guard Isaiah Thomas.

Irving is expected to play only when he returns to the Cavaliers' home court.

In the center circle jump ball, Wang Yan grabbed the first ball possession for the Cavaliers.

Although Chandler couldn't snatch the ball from Wang Yan, he deliberately bumped into Wang Yan when he fell.

Wang Yan was fine physically, but he felt a little uncomfortable. He had made up his mind that he must dunk over Chandler to vent his anger!

Chandler's defensive moves are tough and not dirty.

Wang Yan also knew it.

But Wang Yan must teach him a lesson on the court.

Thomas Jr. dribbled the ball slowly at the top of the arc, staring at Wang Yan out of the corner of his eye.

Wang Yan deliberately wandered around the penalty area. In fact, he was adjusting Chandler's position.

It's not that easy to dunk, you have to be in the right position.

After walking around for a few times, Wang Yan felt that his opportunity had come.

Just then all the other players made way, leaving only Chandler blocking Wang Yan.

So Wang Yan accelerated and flew towards the basket, and Thomas immediately threw the ball to him.

When Chandler saw Wang Yan coming, he hurriedly raised his hands, trying to disrupt Wang Yan's aerial relay.

However, Wang Yan really jumped with all his strength.

Chandler is also a very talented power center with good jumping ability.

So Wang Yan must do his best.

boom!
A solid buckle!
Wang Yan's leg almost swept Chandler's face.

It's a bit of a shame.

Chandler looked unhappy, but he was convinced in his heart.

Wang Yan's bullet speed was too fast. Even though he could see it, his body couldn't react in time.

It's not unfair to be ridden and blocked.

Fortunately, Chandler didn't have any additional moves, so the referee didn't call 2+1.
2: 0!

Knicks fans are the most special group. They like to watch games, but they are not die-hard fans of the Knicks.

No matter which team is playing away, as long as they play well, they will not hesitate to give their applause and cheers.

I remember when Anthony first came to the Knicks, he was quite helpless.

I have never seen fans at home cheering for the opposing players.

So the moment Wang Yan finished his opening show, the Knicks home court erupted in applause and cheers.

There were even many fans shouting MVP.

This fan is quite weird.

Knicks offense.

The little bully Stoudemire was very dissatisfied with Wang Yan.

Although Stoudemire had suffered serious injuries during this period, he was still very powerful as one of the top face-to-basket offensive players in history.

With the ball in his hand, Stoudemire faced Wang Yan's defense and changed direction before heading towards the basket.

Unfortunately, Wang Yan’s defense range is too large.

Although Xiao Si thought he had gotten rid of Wang Yan, Wang Yan still came from behind and defeated him, bang!

The ball was hit directly out of the baseline.

The Knicks continued to attack, but there were only 6 seconds left on the offensive time.

This time, Stoudemire didn't dare to attack forcefully and passed the ball to Anthony.

Melo's mid-range shot is still very stable, whoosh!
Got two points.

2:2 tie!
Just when fans thought Wang Yan was going to compete with Anthony, Wang Yan suddenly changed his playing style.

The Cavaliers were on offense, and when Thomas saw Wang Yan asking for the ball, he passed it to him.

Wang Yan faced Xiao Si and forced a breakthrough.

Of course, Stoudemire tried his best to defend.

Unexpectedly, when Stoudemire was defending desperately, he suddenly found that the ball in Wang Yan's hand was gone.

Almost at the same time, Butler on the other side received a quick pass from Wang Yan and scored a layup!

Xiao Si was dumbfounded. He didn't even see how Wang Yan passed the ball!
