Chapter 175 Wang Yan made it to the finals again, but couldn't wait for James
Wade is still in his prime and is playing at his best in recent years.
But his playing style is a bit outdated and not very efficient.
Although Spoelstra has made up for the deficiency by adding shooters, there is still a difference between a three-pointer and a three-pointer.
As for the Heat's three-point shooting, as long as the Cavaliers defend the outside line with all their might, they can still lower their three-point shooting percentage.
The Cavaliers' three-pointers were almost unaffected.
There is no need to mention Wang Yan.
Irving's big heart also allows him to perform well at critical moments.
Although the other guys' three-pointers were not as good as Wang Yan's, every time they received the ball, Wang Yan was double-teamed.
With an absolutely wide open space, the hit rate won’t be very low.
So the Heat can win one game, but it is still too difficult to win the series!
In the second half of the second quarter, Wang Yan did not go on a killing spree because there was no need.
The entire Cavaliers' momentum has picked up.
Wang Yan has many offensive options, either attacking by himself or passing the ball to his teammates, and the game goes more and more smoothly.
The Heat players' mentality obviously collapsed, and they became more and more anxious as the game went on.
Wade was like a madman, rushing into the restricted area and throwing himself into the air.
Falling to the ground again and again.
Not only Wade's fans felt very distressed, but Wang Yan also saw it and was full of respect.
This is the fighting spirit of the Flash, never give up!
Thanks to Wade's hard work, the Cavaliers were in the lead, but their advantage was never large.
At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers only led by 8 points.
However, even fans can see that the Heat have no hope.
Because all the Cavaliers players played with ease, while the Heat seemed to have run out of tricks.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, the Cavaliers gradually widened the gap.
Although Wade still tried very hard, the gap in overall strength made him helpless.
At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers were leading by 22 points.
Spoelstra was speechless on the sidelines. Although he was still standing, his body did not move at all.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wade and Bosh continued to play without rest.
It means that they haven't given up yet, or in other words, they want to show that they haven't given up.
For players, playing basketball is not just a profession, but also a spirit.
They have an obligation to convey to the fans a spirit of perseverance and never giving up.
Some stars lack this quality.
Once they encounter difficulties, they will give up and only play with the wind.
This has a bad impact on the fans.
In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Heat 114:97 and successfully advanced to the finals with a score of 4:1!
Wang Yan only played for 36 minutes today and scored 41 points, obviously not trying his best.
Wade played 40 minutes today and scored 40 points, which is his highest score in both the regular season and playoffs this year.
This shows that Wade has given his all for victory!
After the game, although Wade looked gloomy and unwilling, he still walked over generously, hugged Wang Yan and congratulated his opponent.
"Wang, you are indeed the best in the alliance. I accept my defeat with all my heart!"
The Flash is a proud man who never gives in.
But as for Wang Yan, he was really defeated.
You know, there were at least a dozen cameras around the two of them pointing at him.
What Wade said will be broadcast live immediately.
But he still said that honestly.
Wang Yan still respected Wade very much and did not act arrogantly just because he was defeated by him.
He said modestly: "If you were a few years younger, it would be hard to say whether you would win or lose. You have always been my idol!" The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Bosh came over to express his congratulations.
Bosh is also a person with a good personality. He played very tenaciously in this series.
Although he was always suppressed by Wang Yan, he also played to his own strengths.
I believe that after this series, Bosh's inside ability will be greatly improved.
. . . .
In this way, the Cavaliers will enter the finals without any danger.
In the Western Conference, what all fans did not expect was that the Lakers and the Warriors were so closely matched that it was a chaotic battle!
Just last offseason, when James decided to come to the West and team up with Kobe, fans and the media believed that the Lakers could at least make it to the finals!
Because in NBA history, there have never been two superstars and the faces of the league teaming up at the same time.
Therefore, it is unimaginable if James and Kobe fail to make it to the finals!
In the first two rounds of the Western Conference playoffs, the Lakers played well and basically did not encounter much resistance.
But meeting the Warriors was really surprising.
The Warriors have taken off since the Splash Brothers were activated by Wang Yan.
In the regular season, they started from seventh in the Western Conference, worked their way up to the first group, and finally ranked third in the Western Conference.
This record is horrific.
In the playoffs, the Warriors once again proved themselves, fighting their way through, defeating strong opponents one after another, and finally reaching the Western Conference Finals to face the invincible Lakers!
At the Lakers' home court, the Warriors won another game after losing one.
After returning to the Warriors' home court, the Warriors continued their efforts and won G3, with the score reaching 2:1!
This time, fans all over the world were stunned.
Originally, the ratings for the Eastern and Western Conference playoffs were generally led by the Western Conference, but the Cavaliers' ratings stood out.
But the game between the Lakers and the Warriors grabbed the ratings.
Because both teams were so unexpected.
The ratings for Game 4 exceeded those of the Heat and Cavaliers, because veteran fans could see that the Cavaliers had taken the initiative.
The game between the Lakers and the Warriors is even more suspenseful.
In addition, the Splash Brothers' wild three-pointers are extremely entertaining to watch and are completely different from previous three-pointers.
So some old fans were actually attracted to the Warriors and became Warriors fans.
James feels bitter!
He finally came to the West, despite the infamy, and wanted to team up with Kobe to make a comeback.
When we get to the finals, he’ll steal the FMVP.
Then we can suppress Wang Yan.
Unexpectedly, we met the suddenly rising Warriors in the Western Conference Finals!
In the first half of Game 4, the Warriors seemed to be in poor form, and Kobe took the opportunity to score wildly, leading the Lakers to a 14-point lead.
James also performed well, delivering 6 assists and scoring 17 points.
In the third quarter, the Yongsan Crazy appeared.
Curry and Thompson rained three-pointers, and in just over 4 minutes, they caught up with the score.
James exerted his strength, made consecutive tank breakthroughs, and led the Lakers to hold on temporarily.
But the Splash Brothers continued to work hard and maintained a high shooting percentage in the second half of the third quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led by 6 points.
The fourth quarter was extremely brutal.
Kobe led the substitutes to take the court first and narrowed the gap to 2 points.
Curry had no choice but to come on the court early, but his touch suddenly turned cold, causing the Lakers to overtake the score.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, the score difference was very small and the scene was suffocating.
In the end, the more experienced Janko defeated the slightly younger Splash Brothers and had the last laugh.
This means the Lakers and Warriors are tied in the first four finals.
2: 2!
