Chapter 174 Wade gave his all and the Heat were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals!

With 19 seconds left in the game, the Heat took the lead by 1 point.

Although the cooperation between Wade and Bosh just now was very beautiful, it also allowed the Heat to regain the lead.

But the fans in the stadium were not so excited because they saw that the Cavaliers had 19 seconds left.

This time seemed too much for Wang Yan...

Scott was still considering whether to call a timeout, but Wang Yan directly launched an attack!
Indeed, with so much time, how can we even ask for a pause?
Give the other side time to react?
Come directly!

Before Wang Yan reached midfield, he found three people surrounding him.

Anyway, there was still enough time, so Wang Yan was not in a hurry and passed the ball to Butler on the right.

Butler pretended to break through, but then passed the ball to Walton.

Because Walton performed well in the fourth quarter, the Heat did not dare to let go, and Battier immediately rushed over to defend.

There were 7 seconds left, and Walton saw Wang Yan making gestures to him not to shoot.

Walton controlled the ball and observed Wang Yan's movement.

Suddenly, Wang Yan squeezed through Gasol's defense and ran towards the penalty area.

Bosh and Wade immediately chased after him, one in front and one behind, preventing Wang Yan from catching the ball.

Just when Wang Yan ran into the penalty area, he suddenly braked and rushed to the right corner.

Very capable of running.

But this was the final moment. Even though Bosh and Wade were very tired, they gritted their teeth and persisted, following Wang Yan's footsteps.

Just don't let him catch the ball!
There are 4 seconds left in the game.

Wang Yan suddenly made a special gesture towards Wharton.

Walton nodded and actually threw the ball towards the basket.

what's the situation?
This is not a shot, it's more like a pass, but the basketball is going towards the backboard.

Originally, Wang Yan had no way of catching the ball.

But at the same time Walton passed the ball, Wang Yan ran towards the middle.

The basketball hit the left corner of the backboard with a strong spin, bang!

Turned a corner and bounced out.

It's like a curve ball in table tennis, the trajectory is very strange.

Originally, the direction it bounced out was the left sideline, but after the rotation, it flew towards the middle.

Bosh and Wade were chasing Wang Yan, but when Walton passed the ball, they slowed down.

Because the direction Wang Yan ran was not the direction the basketball should have bounced out.

It is clear.

Unexpectedly, the basketball turned a corner and flew towards the middle.

Bosh and Wade saw that the situation was not good and knew that something was wrong.

If you want to speed up, you are already one step too slow.

Wang Yan strode to the three-point line at the top of the arc, received the ball, and shot at the speed of light!
It’s incredible!
Just as the basketball was flying in the air, the red timing light came on.

In other words, if the ball goes in, it’s a buzzer beater! If the ball doesn’t go in, you lose!
How bold!
For other games, with such ample time in the last 19 seconds, an attack can be completed within 10 seconds.

Because even if you don't get in, you still have a chance to try again.

Even if the ball goes in, leaving time for the opponent, the initiative is still in your hands.

But the Knights didn't do that!

Wang Yan actually left time until the last moment before taking the shot at the last second.

If you don’t succeed, you will succeed!
It really is: it’s all about the heartbeat.

Lore!

The entire Heat stadium was silent, except for the Cavaliers teammates who rushed over, surrounded Wang Yan, and kept shouting, jumping, and cheering!

It's too horrific!
Wade, Bosh and Gasol stood there blankly, unwilling to believe this fact.

It's too illusory.

Wang Yan actually made a buzzer-beater at the last minute. Is this how you play basketball? Ten seconds later, the Heat players walked towards the player tunnel with their heads down.

They knew very well that the series was over...

Having lost both home games, the next game will be back at the Cavaliers' home court, and the hope of a comeback is slim.

Wang Yan's data today once again demonstrated his important role in the team.

Scored 64 points, 13 rebounds, including 8 offensive rebounds, and 11 assists!
Super deluxe triple-double!

It can be said that in the absence of two absolute main players, Wang Yan is really carrying the team forward alone!

I believe that those media and experts who attribute the Cavaliers' achievements to their teammates will shut up!

Wang Yan made everyone understand one thing——

The achievements of the Cavaliers in the past two seasons were all brought about by Wang Yan, there is no doubt about it!

Sure enough, the major media outlets changed their tone after the game.

ESPN: "The Cavaliers won two away games in a row and got the match point in the Eastern Conference Finals!"

Yahoo Sports: "Wang Yan proved himself with three consecutive explosive performances. He is still the king of the league!"

Sports Illustrated: "The Heat fell short at the last minute, failing to withstand the Cavaliers' counterattack after taking a 1:0 lead!"

. . . .

The Cavaliers team finally felt proud.

But when Wang Yan was interviewed, he was not arrogant at all. Instead, he behaved very calmly, with the demeanor of a king.

It seems like all this is normal.

It makes sense that as an uncrowned champion, his goal should be a second championship.

If we get carried away just by getting the match point in the Eastern Conference Finals, we really don't have the potential to be champions.

However, Wang Yan still expressed respect for the Heat.

"The Heat are very strong and have caused us a lot of trouble. Now that we haven't won Game 4, the series is not over. We will keep working hard!"

This is Wang Yan, who is neither arrogant when he wins nor discouraged when he loses.

After losing a home game, they played steadily and finally got the match point.

After returning to the home court, Wang Yan found that his teammates were a little bit arrogant again.

Everyone was laughing and slacking off during training.

Wang Yan understands very well that this series is really tiring and the pressure brought by the Heat is too strong.

But Wang Yan still discussed it with Scott and asked Scott to come out and play the good guy and scold the players.

After the players' attitudes were corrected, the team faced Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

At the beginning of the game, the Heat team played very aggressively.

They were already standing on the edge of a cliff.

Although they know that the probability of winning the Cavaliers' home court is very low, the Heat will not give up as long as Wade is there!
After the first quarter, the Heat led by 3 points.

It looks very lively, but in fact, Spoelstra's various tactics have been fully understood by the Cavaliers.

No matter what tactics the Heat use, the Cavaliers can deal with it calmly.

Jamison will continue to rest today, and Irving has recovered and can play.

However, starting from the second quarter, the Cavaliers gradually gained the upper hand, including the substitutes.

The Cavaliers' substitutes increased their defensive intensity, giving the Heat's three-point shooters very few comfortable shooting opportunities.

More than 4 minutes into the second quarter, the Cavaliers' substitutes actually tied the score!
The Heat's only advantage also disappeared.

Spoelstra finally showed a look of despair on the sidelines.

To be honest, Spoelstra's tactical use was perfect throughout the series.

He has tapped into the Heat's potential.

However, the Heat only lost on one point, that is Wang Yan!
