Chapter 173 Lacking two main players, Wang Yan faces the battle alone!
G4 started, and in the first quarter, the Heat took the advantage.

Thomas' height makes him the focus of the Heat's offense.

There is no way, this is how the playoffs are, the opponent will take advantage of your weaknesses and attack hard!

Walton was mentioned as a starter, but he was a little uncomfortable and made 2 of 0 shots.

Only Wang Yan continued to dominate the game, almost taking all the points.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 28:21, with the Heat leading by 7 points.

At the start of the second quarter, the Heat's substitutes performed very well and widened the score gap again.

The situation is very unfavorable for the Cavaliers.

Although the score gap was quickly narrowed after Wang Yan came on the court.

But the Heat suddenly used the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic.

They attacked TT separately, preventing Wang Yan from receiving the ball and sending TT to the free throw line again and again.

TT's free throw percentage is around 60, which is not high.

In such an important game, being suddenly cut off caused TT's already low free throw percentage to drop even more.

Making one of two free throws is considered good, as there were many times when both free throws were missed.

Wang Yan put his hands on his hips and shook his head slightly.

He was not dissatisfied with TT, but was a little helpless about the Heat's tactical changes.

Spoelstra is indeed cunning and has many tricks up his sleeve.

With more than 2 minutes left in the second quarter, the Heat were already leading by 16 points.

Heat fans are so excited, it looks like the score can be tied!
Although Scott had replaced TT, the Heat still showed their momentum.

Wang Yan has scored 32 points, which is an amazing performance.

But basketball is a team sport after all. The absence of Irving and Jamison, two scoring points, and TT was also cut, making the team very passive.

After TT went down, the substitute center was not afraid of being cut, and Wang Yan finally had the opportunity to perform.

Wang Yan brought the three-point shooting technique to its fullest. He combined the shooting techniques of Curry and Nowitzki, and shuttled back and forth among the defensive players like a butterfly flying through flowers.

At the end of the first half, Wang Yan narrowed the score gap to 11 points.

Although it is still in double digits, there is still a possibility of catching up.

During the half-time break, Wang Yan had a brief conversation with his teammates in the locker room.

He tried to relax everyone: "Brothers, don't be too nervous. Even if we lose this game, it's a draw. The home advantage is on our side!"

After letting everyone relax, Wang Yan told Walton and Thomas not to be discouraged and to firmly implement the tactics in the training camp.

Wang Yan really has a sincere heart for his advice. He is not only the core of offense and defense, but also has to play the role of coach.

In addition, I also have to be a psychological masseur.

A championship team must lead the entire league in all aspects. If it fails to do one thing well, it will be eliminated by other teams.

Of course, Wang Yan knew this truth very well.

The second half of the game began.

TT did not play again and went straight to being the substitute center.

Wang Yan continued his explosive attack, while also trying to give Walton a chance.

Walton is still good. Although he didn't play well in the first half, after adapting, his condition improved in the second half.

After being double-teamed, Wang Yan passed three balls to Walton, who made two of them, including a three-pointer.

This almost made the Heat's defensive strategy fail.

Wang Yan also increased his intensity on the defensive end, blocking Bosh and Wade consecutively!
Finally, at the end of the third quarter, the score difference was narrowed to 1 point.

87: 86!

The Heat only led by 1 point.

The home fans were dumbfounded again.

what's the situation?
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wang Yan came on the court again without even a minute's rest.

What an iron man!
Heat fans now get a headache whenever they see Wang Yan.

Wang Yan brought four substitutes to deal with the Heat's substitute lineup.

The Heat's substitutes were indeed very strong, and Wang Yan and the Cavaliers' substitutes did not gain any advantage, so the game ended in a draw.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Spoelstra replaced the main lineup in advance.

The decisive battle between the two sides begins!
At this time, the score between the two sides was tied at 97!
The remaining 8 minutes will determine the future direction of the Eastern Conference Finals!

As soon as Wade came on, he used his best phantom step to get into the penalty area and score a goal.

Not only did he score the goal, he also caused the Cavaliers' backup center to foul.

2+1!

The Flash played like crazy! The home fans saw hope and immediately cheered Wade's name.

The Heat players' morale was boosted.

Wade made the free throw and the lead was 3 points again.

Wang Yan couldn't let the Heat's morale rise.

It must be suppressed!

So in the next two rounds, Wang Yan scored five points in a row with an ultra-long three-pointer and a breakthrough slam dunk!

These two goals were so domineering that they directly suppressed the Heat's morale, which had just risen.

But the score was still quite tense.

Bosh and Gasol took advantage of Wang Yan's expanded defensive area and frequently attacked the inside.

Wang Yan must be just one person, not a three-headed, six-armed being, nor does he have the ability to clone himself.

So the Heat kept scoring.

With 1 minute and 13 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the two sides were tied again!

It was really a hand-to-hand fight with blood on the bayonets, it was so brutal.

Spoelstra called a timeout because he noticed that Wade's energy was declining rapidly.

On the knight's side, Wang Yan was actually a little tired.

He has played 42 minutes today, almost the entire game.

Really hard work!
The timeout ends and the game continues.

Wade broke through again with the ball, and after being double-teamed, he passed the ball to Gasol.

Gasol pretended to pass the ball to Bosh, which affected Wang Yan's defensive attention.

Then he actually made a fadeaway jump shot.

Gasol's technique is quite delicate.

Swish!
Two points obtained!

Heat fans are so happy and they like Gasol very much.

Gasol also proved his worth.

113:111, Heat leading.

The Cavaliers attack.

Before Wang Yan caught the ball, two people appeared close to him.

Thomas had no choice but to continue dribbling.

Suddenly, Wang Yan stretched out his hand and gestured to Wharton.

Walton was smart enough to understand what he was saying and immediately ran to the right sideline.

Butler helped him block the pursuing defender.

Thomas immediately passed the ball, and Walton received it and made a three-pointer!

Unfortunately, the basketball went a little off and bounced out.

Wang Yan was like a god descending from heaven, roaring and grabbing the rebound.

Before he landed on the ground, Wang Yan passed the ball to Walton again.

"Come again!"

Walton was in high spirits. This time he did not let Wang Yan down and took another three-pointer.

Swish!
Three point hit!

Wang Yan's rebound is truly worth a fortune.

The Heat fans were furious that at such a critical moment, they gave the opponent two offensive opportunities.

Bosh and Gasol also shook their heads, feeling really helpless.

114:113, the Cavaliers overtook by 1 point!
There are 42 seconds left in the game.

Heat offense.

Wade was still ruthless. He broke through again, passed two people and got to the right side of the basket.

Wang Yan finally made up for the defense, but Wade made a ground pass and passed the ball to Bosh on the left.

Bosh made an easy layup and scored two points.

The Heat have overtaken again!

The atmosphere in the stadium is suffocating, there's really no giving in!
Wade and Bosh bumped their chests and roared excitedly!
