Chapter 172: Make an effort at the critical moment and win the first away game!
Cavaliers attack.

As soon as Wang Yan passed the midfield, he was double-teamed.

So Wang Yan did an unexpected move, which was to grab the ball with one hand and make a passing gesture.

In the previous few rounds, Wang Yan made several similar passes to Irving or Jamison.

Unexpectedly, this time after Wang Yan’s big hand sent the ball out, he pulled the ball back!
The fake move was so realistic that it fooled everyone, including Irving who was about to receive the ball.

Wang Yan’s hands are as big as Boss Qiao’s, and it is very easy for him to catch the ball with one hand.

Bosh and Gasol's attention was also drawn over there, and the moment they realized that Wang Yan did not pass the ball, they knew they were doomed.

Swish!
Wang Yan’s three-point shot!

It's too fast.

Accurate hit!

The Cavaliers only took 7 seconds to complete this attack.

Bosh and Gasol were both speechless. Wang Yan had so many real and fake tricks that it was hard to defend against them.

125:122, the Cavaliers lead by 3 point.

Heat offense.

Wade and Bosh played a pick-and-roll, and then Wade broke into the restricted area, threw the man into the air, and made a folding pull-up to get two points.

This is the offensive style that Wade is best at. It is very complex, extremely difficult and very entertaining to watch.

But after all the effort, I only got 2 points.

125:124.
The Cavaliers attacked with 27 seconds left.

The Heat launched a full-court press, and Wang Yan let Butler dribble across half court because he and Irving were both closely guarded.

As soon as he crossed the half court, Wang Yan rushed towards the penalty area.

The Heat players were so scared that they chased after him.

Wang Yan seemed to be playing "Eagle Catches Chicken", running around the penalty area.

It was already the final stage of the fourth quarter, and it was amazing that Wang Yan still had such strong physical strength.

Just when the Heat players thought that Wang Yan was going to dunk or force a shot, Wang Yan suddenly ran to the bottom corner.

Bosh and Gasol, who were running with Wang Yan, had reached their physical limits.

After all, they are all over 2 meters tall and weigh 1 kilograms, and Wang Yan's speed is similar to that of a guard.

Who can bear it?
Just as Wang Yan stepped one foot outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, Irving passed the ball to him.

No adjustments needed!

After catching the ball, Wang Yan turned around, leaned back, and shot!

You are a 2 meter tall guy, and you still shoot jump shots? And fade away?
How the hell do you defend against this?
Bosh and Gasol could only watch Wang Yan shoot, then turned and rushed to the basket to grab the rebound.

Because in their subconscious, the hit rate of such a ball must be low!
Who knows...swish!

Hollow into the network!

In normal training, Wang Yan and Owen practiced countless times just for the fatal blow at the critical moment!
It may seem like a simple cooperation, but the speed of movement, the position of the pass, and the control of strength all require extreme precision.

If the pass is not in place and adjustments are made after receiving the ball, the defensive players will catch up and the chance to shoot will disappear.

128:124, the Cavaliers led by 4 points.

There are only 5 seconds left in the game!
Victory is decided!

Although there is only one point difference between 4 points and 3 points, it is a world of difference at the last moment.

If the score is 3 points, you can call a timeout within 5 seconds and then plan a tactic to tie the game.

With the abilities of NBA stars, there are many buzzer-beating moments in less than 5 second, let alone 1 seconds.

Lillard, Fisher, Kobe, and Wade all have famous scenes of ultimate buzzer-beaters.

But the score difference is only 4 points, so even if the king of heaven comes, he can do nothing.

The Heat's home court was completely silent, and even the faint sobbing of female fans could be heard in the front row. Yes, it's not easy for the Heat either.

They spent a lot of money to get James in the past two years, but failed to win the championship for two consecutive years. They were defeated once by Nowitzki and again by Wang Yan.

They made a comeback this year with a star-studded team and even defeated the uncrowned champions away from home.

Even with such a good situation, we still couldn't create a miracle.

The fans knew very well that if they lost this game, even if they won the next one, the Cavaliers would regain the home advantage.

There are more ills than good luck.

In the end, the game ended and the Cavaliers won the crucial G3 as they wished.

When Wang Yan was interviewed after the game, he seemed very excited, unlike his usual calm and low-key demeanor.

Because he knows that his teammates and fans are watching him, and the next game will be away.

The team's morale is very important. We must make a concerted effort and win two consecutive away games to ensure the final victory.

"I am very satisfied with my performance today. My teammates also performed well! The Cavaliers are the uncrowned champions. They played very aggressive team basketball today. The Cavaliers will win!"

This was the first time that Wang Yan shouted the slogan that the Cavaliers must win.

In the past, even if I shouted, I would shout together with my teammates.

When the reporter saw Wang Yan so excited, he also felt that Wang Yan was under a lot of pressure!

Since losing Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the media and fans have launched crazy criticism against Wang Yan.

For a star player who has been smooth sailing since entering the league, this is indeed a difficult test.

If he can't handle the pressure and loses the game, he will truly become a flash-in-the-pan player.

Fortunately, Wang Yan was not defeated by the pressure and led the team to win two consecutive games.

The process is still very difficult, and the star-studded Heat poses a huge challenge to the Cavaliers!

. . . .

After a day of rest, the crucial Eastern Conference Finals Game 4 began.

Yes, in fact every game is crucial.

If this game is lost, both sides will return to the same starting line.

Even if the Cavaliers still have the home advantage, it will have an impact on the players' confidence.

But if you win, it's different.

With the match point in hand and returning to his home court, he will definitely win the game with great momentum!
Just when the Cavaliers fans thought the team would take advantage of the opportunity to win the second away game, something happened again.

Irving's ankle was red and swollen, and the team doctor decided to rest him for one or two games.

And Jamison's back injury recurred.

Irving's injury was pure bad luck. When he broke through, he stepped on Gasol's foot, which was not intentional on Gasol's part.

Jamison is a veteran and his back injury is an old one.

The rest of these two main players cast a shadow on the Cavaliers' game.

Originally, these games were evenly matched, with the Cavaliers only leading by a slight margin.

Now two more generals are injured. How can we fight?
But most fans also believe that as long as Wang Yan is there, the Cavaliers have hope of winning!

When Wang Yan heard the news, his heart skipped a beat.

But he was very calm, and after a brief discussion with Scott, he conducted a quick training session for several hours.

Thomas and bench player Walton mentioned starting.

Walton was traded during the offseason last season. He has been injured and has not had much playing time.

Strangely, in this year's playoffs, Walton's injury has completely healed, he has been playing more and more minutes, and his performance has been very stable.

In the playoffs, he averaged 11 minutes per game and scored 5.1 points, which is not bad.
