Chapter 166 Wang Yan once again used the Buddha Prayer to lead the team to take the lead!
Heat head coach Spoelstra has studied Wang Yan and the Cavaliers very thoroughly.

It can be said that since Gasol was traded during the offseason, Spoelstra has been determined that the Heat can enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

So he studies the Cavaliers' style of play every day, and knows it all from tactics to details.

In fact, according to Spoelstra's coaching philosophy, many of his ideas are different from James'.

Spoelstra's philosophy is holistic basketball, where everyone has to make sacrifices and contribute to the team.

Of course, there are also stars.

It is impossible for ordinary people to play basketball better than superstars.

The cornerstone behind the Spurs' so-called civilian basketball is Duncan.

If Duncan retires, the Spurs will immediately be exposed.

James' purpose in coming to the Heat is very clear, which is to use the powerful Big Three to fight for the championship for himself!
But teammates can be strong, but not too strong.

You can't surpass yourself in statistics, and you can't overshadow yourself in the playoffs.

He can't even play without the ball, he must have firm control over the ball.

If Spoelstra wants to give the ball to other players, James will get angry.

So the famous scene happened - James hit Spoelstra with his shoulder.

That's James!
Some players have said that being hit by James is like being hit by a truck.

This shows that James has a lot of opinions about Spoelstra.

He even secretly contacted the Heat management, hoping to replace Spoelstra.

But the Heat management remained calm and supported Spoelstra and did not replace him.

This also made James feel resentful, which led to his leaving again!

He found that no matter how hard he tried, in the hearts of Heat fans, Wade would always be the soul of the Heat!

. . . .

Just when Wang Yan was about to make a move before the end of the first half, Spoelstra was also yelling at the Heat players on the sidelines, asking them to strengthen their defense and not let Wang Yan shoot early!
It's really tit-for-tat.

Even Sibo's voice reached Wang Yan's ears.

Cavaliers attack.

Irving dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but Wang Yan didn't seem to want to participate in the attack and stood near the left sideline, close to the bottom corner.

Jamison stepped forward to set the screen, and Irving took the opportunity to use fancy dribbling and continuous fake moves to pass Haslem.

As they reached the penalty area, the Heat's defense quickly shrank.

Just when everyone thought Irving was going to make a layup, Wang Yan suddenly retreated beyond the three-point line.

Bosh followed Wang Yan closely and didn't even bother to pay attention to Irving.

This is exactly the effect the Cavaliers want.

Irving tilted his head, and Gasol and Haslem reached out towards Wang Yan as if by reflex.

This fake move fooled everyone.

Irving easily got to the basket and scored a layup.

This is the attraction of Wang Yan. With just one look, everyone on the opposite side will panic.

After Owen scored the goal, he was the first to run towards Wang Yan. The two of them high-fived each other and smiled knowingly, full of ambiguity!
The Cavaliers only took 13 seconds for this attack, with amazing efficiency!

59:55, the Cavaliers lead by 4 point.

The Heat attack.

Wade and Bosh cooperated with each other, while Gasol leaned against Wang Yan.

Wade used Bosh's screen to break into the right side of the basket.

Just when Wade was about to take a mid-range shot, TT suddenly rushed over, raised his hands high, and blocked Wade's shooting space.

Wade had no choice but to pass the ball to Gasol again.

Wang Yan immediately stuck to him and prevented him from shooting, while the other Cavaliers players immediately started to defend in front, cutting off all of Gasol's passing routes.

In desperation, Gasol had to make another hasty shot.

This time Wang Yan failed to block it, but his shot was way off target and hit the basket and bounced out.

Wang Yan roared and protected the rebound.

Wade and Chalmers returned to defense quickly, leaving Irving and Butler no chance to receive the ball.

In that case, I'll do it myself!
Wang Yan, a 2-meter-tall guy, dribbled past several people smoothly and crossed the half court.

At this time, the Heat players chased desperately and ran into the three-point line, ready to block Wang Yan.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan actually caught the ball more than one meter away from the three-point line!

With more than a minute left in the second quarter, the Heat players had no idea that Wang Yan would take a long three-pointer.

Bosh wanted to rush over again, but it was too late!

Wang Yan used Lillard's super long three-point skill, which was quick and efficient!
Swish!
A big three-pointer was made.

This attack took just over 4 seconds, it was so fast!

62:55
In the blink of an eye, the Cavaliers quickly widened the gap to 7 points.

Spoelstra was furious on the sidelines.

Siba, who was always elegant and steady, roared.

However, this cannot be blamed on the Heat players. The Cavaliers can exert force instantly on both offense and defense, making it difficult for the Heat players to defend.

With 59 seconds left in the first half, the Heat attacked.

The Heat should have called a timeout, but as the second quarter was about to end, Spoelstra held back.

The Heat attacked and once again passed the ball to Wade, their strong point.

Originally it was Butler who was defending Wade, and Jamison and Irving would wait for the opportunity to assist in defense.

But Wade suddenly found that the person guarding him became Wang Yan.

Logically, Wade should pass the ball quickly to Bosh or Gasol.

But both of them are the top players of the team, so Wade's competitive spirit also came up.

bass!
The Flash used his speed advantage and quickly passed by Wang Yan from the left.

It’s fast indeed!

Although Wade had his meniscus removed before entering the NBA and later suffered a serious injury.

But his physical talent is also at a historical level. His form has improved this season and he is showing signs of returning to his peak.

Wade's change of direction made Wang Yan's reaction slow down by half a beat.

After passing Wang Yan, Wade was overjoyed. He rushed to the basket and raised his right hand to prepare for a rebound goal.

The moment the ball left his fingers, Wade felt a gust of wind blowing behind his head.

Snapped!
Wang Yan appeared behind Wade at some point and blocked his shot!

Only then did Wade realize that he had been fooled.

In fact, it’s not that fooled. Wang Yan is indeed slightly inferior to the Flash in speed.

There's no way. There's no way a center and a guard can compare in speed.

Wang Yan is already faster than most defenders, but this is the Flash!
However, Wang Yan was tall and had long arms, and he chased closely from behind, and finally taught Wade a lesson.

The basketball bounced far away and landed right between Chalmers and Irving.

Irving fought hard, flying sideways, and passed the ball to Butler in the middle before Chalmers.

Butler broke through alone, crossed half court and scored a dunk.

64:55
The Cavaliers continued to widen the gap.

incredible.

In just over a minute, the Cavaliers suddenly exerted their strength and the score difference went to double digits.

The Heat fans who were watching the game in front of the TV or computer were all confused.

Aren't they evenly matched?
Why did it suddenly collapse...

Wade looked unhappy. He gestured to his teammates, pointed at himself, and took all the responsibility on himself.

This is Wade, he never passes on the blame.

The Heat reorganized their offense.

Wade gave up holding the ball and went to the corner, letting Chalmers organize the game.

Chalmers and Gasol set a pick-and-roll and headed into the restricted area.

While Wang Yan was struggling with Gasol in the interior, Chalmers passed the ball to Bosh.

Bosh could have easily crushed TT, but TT became extremely tough, like Rodman possessed, clinging to Bosh, manipulating him, and making the Dragon King extremely uncomfortable.

Bosh was still more skilled. He carried TT and made a few shots, finally reaching the basket!

Just when he was about to make a layup, TT actually hung on his arm.

beep!
The referee finally blew the whistle.

TT fouled and Bosh went to the free throw line.

Bosh was exhausted and breathing heavily, and he was also very dissatisfied with himself.

Logically speaking, when playing against TT, he should have scored 2+1.

TT has committed 4 fouls, but it doesn’t matter because he is not very important in the interior anyway.

Bosh's confrontation just now was very fierce, which caused his strength to be unstable and he made only one of two free throws.

The second free throw missed and Wang Yan grabbed the rebound.

At this time, there were 11 seconds left in the game.

The Cavaliers had only one incomplete shot clock.

Wang Yan grabbed the rebound and took a look, and found that none of his teammates had a good chance to catch the ball.

So Wang Yan made another breakthrough alone.

Just after passing midfield, we saw Haslem and Gasol of the Heat blocking the way.

Wang Yan just made a sudden shot and made a long three-pointer, which caught the Heat players off guard.

So this time, they waited for Wang Yan at the center line in advance.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan suddenly made a move to collect the ball and looked up at the basket at the same time!

WTF?

Another three-pointer?
Haslem and Gasol jumped up almost at the same time, raised their hands high and rushed towards Wang Yan to block his shot!

But the moment Wang Yan put his hands together to hold the ball, he took his hands away.

Worship Buddha!

At such a critical moment, Wang Yan remained so calm, he is truly gifted!

Wang Yan bent down and passed between the two people.

Gasol and Haslem felt a chill in their hearts, knowing they had been fooled.

There are more than 2 seconds left.

Wang Yan fought all the way to the free throw line.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Yan took off into the air, and before the red timing light came on, bang!
A solid slam dunk.

The timing lights are on!
The goal is valid!

66: 56!

The Cavaliers actually widened the score difference to double digits at the end of the first half.

In this one minute or so, the Heat only got 1 point thanks to a free throw from Bosh.

The home fans were extremely excited. They all stood up and shouted slogans:

"Wang Yan Niubi!"

"The Knights will win!"

……

After these few rounds of offense and defense, the Cavaliers have returned to being the invincible championship team!
Scott was also pumping his fist excitedly on the sidelines. He walked towards the Cavaliers players and high-fived each of them.

Especially Wang Yan, he hugged Wang Yan tightly.

He is still under a lot of pressure.

If the Cavaliers lose both home games, they will be in big trouble.

If the Cavaliers are eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals, he will have to quit his job as a coach!

Wang Yan knew Scott's little thoughts, patted him on the back, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, coach, we will definitely make it to the finals!"

. . . .

In the live broadcast room of China's sports channel, Yao Ming changed his steady habit and actually jumped up when Wang Yan made the gesture of worshiping Buddha.

"Wang Yan is such an amazing guy, he can actually do the Buddha worship so smoothly!"

Coach Zhang also gave a thumbs up with both hands.

"Yeah, I remember that the Buddha worshipping action was done by guards, and only players with strong shooting ability could succeed. But Wang Yan was able to trick the opponent, which shows that his shooting is really scary!"

Yao Ming is also a big guy with top-notch shooting ability, but his flexibility is indeed much worse than Wang Yan's.

There is no way around it, the talent points are different.

Yu Jia nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, Wang Yan has overturned many people's stereotypes. It turns out that big players can also do the moves of guards. I remember that in one game, he even did a super pull-up. It was really out of the ordinary!"

Yao Ming laughed and said, "It's too difficult for a big man to do a pull-up move. I have experienced it myself. I remember during a training session, I wanted to do it once, but I fell to the ground halfway through, and the ball was not thrown out yet!"

Coach Zhang and Yu Jia couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone has the picture in their mind.

. . . .

The second half of the game began.

Although they led by 10 points at halftime, the Cavaliers did not underestimate the enemy.

Spoelstra made adjustments.

Wade recovered most of his strength after the halftime break, and he broke through with the ball again.

boom!
Wade actually dribbled past several players and dunked over TT.

TT was not only dunked on, but also committed a foul, 2+1!

This is Wade, so awesome!
TT has committed 5 fouls.

There was no choice, Scott had to replace him with the backup center.

Before TT left the field, Wang Yan comforted him and affirmed his performance.

Wade made the free throw and the score difference returned to 7 points.

However, looking back, Wang Yan made a wonderful pass to Irving, whoosh!

Irving responded with another three-pointer!
This is the charm of three points.

Wade rushed to the restricted area and made a 2+1.
But they easily made a three-pointer and narrowed the gap to 10 points.

Of course, fans may prefer to watch Wade's dunks.

But if the team wants to win, it naturally has to be efficient.

So the three-pointer will definitely become a more important offensive weapon.

In the next few rounds, the two sides began to stalemate again, and the score difference was always around 10 points.

第三节战至9分40秒，比分来到83:74，骑士领先9分。

Both sides began to replace substitutes one after another.

Scott was a little hesitant. He didn't dare to come on as a substitute because the Heat's substitutes were stronger.

Although the Cavaliers' substitutes played well in the first half, if they don't play well, this advantage will be gone.

However, Wang Yan had great trust in the substitutes and he suggested using them.

Seeing that Wang Yan was very confident in the substitute, Scott agreed to the substitution.

After all, the Heat's substitutes were more skilled and narrowed the gap to 4 points before the end of the third quarter.

Ray Allen, Battier, Mike Miller are in hot form.

The Cavaliers' substitutes walked to the sidelines, all with their heads down and in a bad mood.

Wang Yan continued to encourage them.

The substitute players originally thought that they would not be allowed to play in the fourth quarter, but Scott did not make any substitutions.

The entire bench lineup was still deployed in the fourth quarter.

This time, the substitute players were really moved.

A scholar dies for a confidant!

The Cavaliers' substitutes started to play for their lives.

Each one of them is like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

Especially on the defensive end, they would rather send you to the free throw line than give you a chance to shoot easily!

Under such a life-and-death intensity, the Heat's substitutes played a little panicked and their shooting percentage dropped!
