Chapter 167 blocked the shot on Dragon King and G2 secured the victory at the last moment!

The Cavaliers' substitutes did not disappoint the fans. They played for more than four minutes in the fourth quarter, prevented the Heat from making a comeback, and continued to maintain their lead.

Although the lead was smaller, we still managed to stay ahead by a few points, giving the main players some time to rest.

92:87, the Cavaliers lead by 5 point.

The home fans all stood up and applauded the substitute players.

This is the first time that the Cavaliers substitutes have received such treatment after so many games.

The main forces of both sides re-emerge for the final decisive battle!
The Cavaliers are on the brink and can't lose any more.

And the Heat will certainly go all out.

If the Heat can win two consecutive home games against the Cavaliers, their hopes of reaching the finals will greatly increase.

Spoelstra really has something. In order to prepare for the decisive battle in the fourth quarter, he even dared to let Wade play for only 7 minutes in the third quarter.

After all, I'm old and I need to save my energy.

As long as Wade gets enough rest in the fourth quarter, he will definitely explode.

It is not groundless that he is called "Jordan who is 5 cm shorter".

Wade rested and returned to the game.

Wang Yan saw that Wade's eyes were very determined, and even had a hint of tragic color.

After all, he is already 31 years old and has an old knee injury.

This year may be his best year to win the championship again.

If we fail to make it out of the East this year, our hopes for the future will be even slimmer.

. . . .

The Heat attack.

Chalmers passed the ball to Bosh.

Since TT had five fouls and was still resting, the substitute center was a little weak, and Bosh was ready to take one.

Just as Bosh was driving towards the basket, Wang Yan suddenly let go of Gasol and went up to help defend!
Wang Yan's timing for assisting defense was too good, and there was no space for Bosh to pass the ball.

Bosh dodged left and right, and ended up losing his balance.

beep!
The referee blew the whistle and called a traveling call on Bosh!
It's a bit embarrassing for a player to be called for traveling, but there was nothing Bosh could do because he did travel.

Wang Yan’s defense is too oppressive!

Bosh was embarrassed and grumbled to himself, but he didn't dare complain to the referee for fear of being called for a technical foul.

Cavaliers attack.

Irving dribbled the ball forward, crossed half court, and set a pick-and-roll with Jamison.

After switching defense, Jamison plays against Chalmers, big against small!

Swish!
Got two points.

Jamison's mid-range shot is still very stable.

In the first three quarters, Jamison did not play against Chalmers just to use this tactic in the fourth quarter.

Don’t you, the Heat, like to have secret weapons?
My knight also has a secret weapon!
Spoelstra stood on the sidelines, his hands on his shoulders, his face serious.

The Heat suffered a loss in the previous attack and defense, and Spoelstra had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after a few rounds, the Heat's offense came to a standstill.

Both Wade and Bosh were strangled, and Gasol missed his shots due to the fierce confrontation.

As for his support, after passing the ball, it could not be converted into a goal.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers became more and more courageous as the battle went on.

Wang Yan, Irving, and Jamison can all score goals.

The score gap widened again.

More than seven minutes into the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers were already leading by 7 points.

Spoelstra was helpless and had to call a timeout.

If the Heat can't solve the offensive problem, the game will be taken away by the Cavaliers.

Although there are two home games, winning one is a win for the Heat.

But what Coach Spoelstra cares about is not a win or loss, what he wants is "momentum"!
Losing is acceptable, but the momentum cannot be suppressed by the Cavaliers.

In other words, we cannot lose tactically.

Judging from the last few rounds, the Heat were suppressed tactically, which is unacceptable to Coach Spoelstra.

He must turn this situation around!
The overall strategy for a series and a knockout round is different.

In a single elimination match, you have to attack with all your might, not give the opponent time to react, and persevere.

What is needed in a series is a variety of tactics and sufficient adaptability.

During the timeout, Wang Yan also reminded his teammates not to relax on defense and to bring out the fighting spirit of the finals to win the game.

Having already lost one home field, we must defend the second one!

The pause ends.

The Heat attacked again.

Wade broke through with the ball, and after entering the restricted area, he threw himself into the air, folded his body, almost sideways to the basket, and with a pull-up move, he shot the ball in!
It's really hard!
As expected, he is the Flash Wade. In today's league, only he can perform such difficult moves.

There are fewer and fewer people in the league who play like this.

After scoring the goal, Wade pulled his jersey and yelled at the camera. He hoped to use this goal to boost the morale of his teammates.

The Heat players were inspired by Wade and all roared to the sky.

In the next round, the Cavaliers attacked. As soon as Wang Yan received the ball, he was double-teamed and scratched by Gasol and Bosh.

Soon, several bloody marks appeared on Wang Yan's arms.

The action was too rough.

However, Wang Yan did not complain to the referee. Wang Yan knew very well that this was the time when blood would be drawn.

Wang Yan relied on his skillful dribbling skills to firmly control the ball.

At the same time, he used his eyes to signal his teammates to move quickly.

Butler made a reverse run and used Jamison's screen to run to the basket.

At this time, there were three defenders between Wang Yan and Butler.

There was only one narrow passage through which the ball could be passed, and it was extremely risky.

But Wang Yan is still skilled and bold, relying on "Bai Qiao"'s passing skills, whoosh!
The basketball was like a cannonball, accurately passing through three people and passed into Butler's hands!

The fans at the scene exclaimed in unison.

This pass was so bold and so clever!
After Butler received the ball, there was no one in front of him, so he made a layup and scored directly, whoosh!

The Heat's defensive players were very frustrated and shook their heads in annoyance.

Wang Yan and Butler excitedly high-fived each other.

Sometimes passing a good ball is more satisfying than scoring a goal yourself!

I believe everyone who has played basketball has this feeling.

In this way, in the next few rounds, although both sides scored goals, the difficulty and fluency were different.

The Heat's goals were all scored in very difficult ways.

The Cavaliers' way of scoring is very sophisticated. They often deliver a fatal blow and score quickly after a stalemate.

Wang Yan used his containment, defensive and passing abilities to elevate the Cavaliers' offense and defense to another level.

The Cavaliers maintained a lead of seven or eight points.

It is very difficult for the Heat to catch up.

Every time the Heat managed to get two points, the Cavaliers would easily return two points or three points!
Spoelstra made another bold decision. With three minutes left in the fourth quarter, he suddenly replaced Ray Allen, Mike Miller and James Jones.

These three are all three-point experts.

It can be seen that Spoelstra wants to use the long shots of these three people to narrow the score and disrupt the Cavaliers' defensive formation.

This strategy worked wonders.

As soon as Ray Allen came on the court, he received a pass from Gasol and made a three-pointer!

Butler didn't follow in Ray Allen's footsteps.

In the next round, Wang Yan responded with a three-pointer, but the Heat's James Jones also made a three-pointer.

The game suddenly became interesting.

In the next round, Irving missed the three-pointer, but Mike Miller made a long three-pointer!
The Heat's momentum picked up again. With 1 minute and 07 seconds left in the game, the Heat were only 2 points behind!

Scott immediately called a timeout.

The atmosphere at the Cavaliers' home court became tense again.

The fans were stunned. They were clearly in the advantage just now, so how come they were suddenly overtaken?
This is the impact of the three-point shot.

The Cavaliers can use three-pointers to defeat their opponents, and their opponents can also use three-pointers to reverse the situation.

During the timeout, Wang Yan put his arm around his teammates' shoulders and shouted, "Your defense focus is on the outside, leave the inside to me!"

Wang Yan's words always give people a sense of security.

The reason why the Heat were able to catch up with the points just now was because the defensive players were worried and did not make a decisive move.

So it gave several Heat pitchers a lot of opportunities.

It is said that the regular season relies on offense and the playoffs rely on defense.

So if you want to win the game, you must rely on efficient and active defense!
The timeout ends and the Cavaliers attack.

Wang Yan suddenly changed his playing style. Instead of shooting a three-pointer, he received the ball in the penalty area and easily got 2 points through Nowitzki's one-legged stand.

In the past six months, Wang Yan's offensive methods were mainly three-pointers, and later he began to like passing the ball.

So he hasn't used the Golden Rooster Stand for a long time.

At this critical moment, Wang Yan suddenly changed his weapon, making the Heat unable to defend against it.

109:105, the Cavaliers lead by 4 point.

Heat offense.

Spoelstra replaced Mike Miller with Battier.

Although Mike Miller is very strong in three-point shooting, his defense is average.

Battier is not only strong in defense, but also good at three-point shooting.

Just as the Heat players were looking for three-point opportunities, they found that the Cavaliers' perimeter defense was suddenly very aggressive.

The Cavaliers players didn't seem to care about the defense within the three-point line and they attacked particularly aggressively.

In desperation, the Heat players had to pass the ball to Gasol.

Wang Yan showed no fear when facing the twin towers of Gasol and Bosh.

He first forced Gasol to pass the ball.

Then, when Bosh was about to make a layup, he was blocked again!
In today's league, perhaps the only person who can block Bosh's shot is Wang Yan.

Bosh was a little angry and grabbed Wang Yan's jersey with his backhand.

beep!
The referee blew the whistle and called a foul on Bosh.

Wang Yan's jersey was torn, so he went to the sidelines to change into a spare jersey.

The home fans were fed up and booed and mocked Bosh.

The foul count reached, and Wang Yan went to the free throw line.

Two free throws made!

This irrational foul may be the key to ruining the game.

However, even if Bosh did not foul, the Cavaliers' counterattack would have a high probability of scoring.

111:105, the Cavaliers are already leading by 6 points.

There were only 40 seconds left in the game.

The Heat's chances are slim.

Spoelstra had no choice but to call another timeout.

A 6-point difference is not too big.

If we can make a three-pointer quickly, there is still a chance of a reversal.

The timeout was over, and as expected, the Heat found a chance for Ray Allen to shoot through cross-running.

Junzi Lei’s big heart is really invincible. At the critical moment, he actually made the three-point shot!

111: 108!

This attack took only 12 seconds and the Heat were only trailing by 3 points.

28 seconds, the Cavaliers attack.

If the Cavaliers fail to score in this offense, the Heat will still have some time and a chance to drag the game into overtime.

Regardless of who wins or loses this game, the Heat have shown their strength to the entire league.

Wang Yan really enjoyed this kind of competition, it was very exciting and made him very excited.

The previous playoffs were too easy, and Wang Yan no longer had much interest in them.

The Heat's tenacity and versatility have posed the biggest challenge to the Cavaliers this season!

Irving dribbled the ball forward, and Battier pressed him all over the court, making Irving very uncomfortable.

Wang Yan hurried out to respond, and Irving passed the ball to Wang Yan, but two more people quickly appeared around Wang Yan.

The Heat went all out and absolutely could not let Wang Yan take action at the last moment.

So Gasol and Bosh's actions were on the verge of fouls.

Wang Yan's anger was aroused.

Instead of passing the ball, he used his body to push Gasol away.

Aren't you going to play rough with me?
Let me show you what level the WWE Champion is at!
Gasol was almost knocked unconscious by Wang Yan's collision.

Because Wang Yan used hidden power, his movements didn't look big, but the impact was very solid.

Gasol staggered and almost fell.

He wanted to chase after her, but his body was in so much pain that he could only hold back for a while.

Bosh chased after him alone and wanted to return the favor by blocking Wang Yan's shot.

If the Heat could block Wang Yan's shot at the last moment, their morale would definitely be boosted and they might even make another three-pointer.

Wang Yan was running in front and Bosh was chasing behind.

The fans' hearts were in their throats.

Wang Yan heard the footsteps behind him, but he was not in a hurry.

Just as his left foot stepped into the penalty area, Wang Yan suddenly jumped into the air, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and pretended to dunk!
Bosh saw the opportunity and jumped up almost at the same time.

He stretched out his long arms behind Wang Yan.

From this height, Bosh should be able to block Wang Yan.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan suddenly took the ball back in the air.

That's the benefit of having big hands.

Jordan also likes to play this way, which is to catch the ball back with one hand in the air.

After catching it, Wang Yan switched the ball to his left hand, avoided Bosh's block, and gently threw the ball up with his left hand...

As silky as Dove!

Bosh's big hat fan is empty!

Swish!
Got two points.

Almost at the same time, Bosh's big hand slapped Wang Yan's arm.

The referee didn't want to blow the whistle because the Cavaliers had already won the game and there was not enough time.

But Bosh's voice was too loud.

beep!
The referee blew the whistle, signaling that Bosh had committed a foul.

Bosh said nothing and quietly stepped aside.

He knew that the Heat were doomed.

With 3 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers were already leading by 5 points.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Wang Yan walked to the free throw line and made the extra free throw!
In the end, the Cavaliers retained their second home court and the score was tied at 1:1!
Wang Yan played 42 minutes today, scoring 46 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.

Another large triple-double.

Although they lost a home game, the Cavaliers had a strong ability to respond and, under the leadership of Wang Yan, suppressed the Heat's offense.

However, this round of the series is full of suspense, and I believe the ratings will reach new highs.

Many Cavaliers fans are worried that the Cavaliers have such a hard time playing at home, can they win if they go to the Heat's home court?
