Chapter 178 Wang Yan becomes mature, and the finals becomes a small ball game!
The fact that Wang Yan did not deliberately complete the opening show shows that Wang Yan has truly matured.

However, the Cavaliers' home fans were unwilling to give up and still stood up, waiting for Wang Yan's alley-oop.

On the Warriors side, Curry broke into the restricted area with the help of a screen and made a layup.

Curry is not limited to three-pointers. He has many other ways to score, making it difficult for opponents to defend.

2:2 tie!
Wang Yan saw that the home fans were waiting, and he did not disappoint them. In the second round, Wang Yan successfully completed an alley-oop.

4: 2!

From the opening, it can be seen that the offensive methods of both sides have changed a bit and are different from the usual methods.

Irving completed the Cavaliers' first attack, and Curry did not shoot a three-pointer.

This shows that the coaches of both teams tried to avoid having their tactics seen through, and thus enriched their playing styles and provided more offensive points.

Especially in non-critical moments, it is necessary to use a style of play that saves energy.

After more than 7 minutes of the first quarter, the score was 18:16, with the Cavaliers leading by 2 points.

Although most fans were expecting a three-point battle between the two sides, so far in the first quarter, both sides have only thrown a total of 3 three-pointers, with the Warriors making 2 of 1 and the Cavaliers making 1 of 1.

However, from the perspective of entertainment, both sides played very excitingly in the first few minutes.

Wang Yan didn't shoot a three-pointer, but he had a turnaround jump shot, a slam dunk at the basket, and a brilliant pass from Bai Qiao.

Irving's fancy dribbling was also fully demonstrated.

On the Warriors side, Curry's breakthrough layups, high rebound goals, and interlaced running between inside and outside lines were all eye-catching.

As expected, they are the dark horse that defeated the Lakers. They really have something.

Green still played tough today, but not dirty.

This guy is very smart and knows how to treat people accordingly.

Wang Yan is a powerful figure in WWE, and Green knows that he can't afford to offend him.

Both sides began to replace their players with substitutes one after another.

The Warriors' bench lineup is very strong and performed very well in the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers, which helped a lot.

David Lee became a substitute, and despite some verbal complaints, he still performed diligently on the court.

Mark Jackson didn't completely abandon him. In fact, his playing time was about the same as Green's.

It just depends on the specific situation on the court.

If an offense is needed, David Lee will come up, and if a defense is needed, Green will come up.

In addition, Bazemore, Jack, Landry, and Ezeli are all strong players on the bench.

The Cavaliers' substitutes also grew rapidly, and the game between the two sides was still very tense.

Middleton was very excited today and played very well.

This is thanks to the Eastern Conference Finals battle with the Heat, which put a lot of pressure on the Cavaliers and accelerated the growth of the players.

Most of Wang Yan's teammates are rookies. They have no problem with physical strength and drive, but they lack a lot of experience.

Therefore, Wang Yan has always wanted to put more pressure on his teammates so that they can understand what a real battle is!

After more than four minutes of the second quarter, the two sides were tied again.

The home fans stood up again and shouted Wang Yan's name.

Because it’s time for Wang Yan’s performance!
Wang Yan stood up, immediately triggering cheers.

Curry also stood up from the bench. He looked at Wang Yan with envy in his heart.

In fact, it's not easy for Curry either. He has been suffering from injuries since entering the NBA.

Many experts predict that Curry will retire in disgrace after playing for five or six seasons.

There are too many players like this. They seem to be very talented, but their physical fitness cannot support their skills and they are ruined by injuries.

Unexpectedly, Curry changed the way he exerted force at the suggestion of the team doctor.

By switching from using the ankles to the hips, I was able to solve my glass ankle problem.

According to this development trajectory, he will not explode until 15. But under Wang Yan's deliberate stimulation, Mark Jackson untied the Splash Brothers.

So Curry is now a rising star.

However, compared with Wang Yan, he is still far behind.

The main players of both sides appeared on the field.

Fans hope that the Wang Ou combination and the Splash Brothers can start a three-point battle.

These four did not disappoint the fans.

After testing each other in the first quarter, the frenzy mode was finally turned on!

As soon as Wang Yan came on the court, he faked a shot and passed the ball, attracted the defense, and assisted Irving with an absolutely open three-pointer.

Irving did not disappoint Wang Yan and the fans, and hit the three-pointer cleanly!

Looking back, Curry also made a breakthrough pass and passed it to Thompson in the corner.

Thompson pushed Butler and forced a shot!

If this guy gets into hot form, he can really make whatever he throws count.

Swish!
Return a three-pointer!
Cheers immediately rang out at the scene.

It's rare that in the finals, fans will cheer for the visiting team.

Wang Yan was actually very pleased in his heart. He hoped that the Splash Brothers could explode, which was what they deserved.

Of course, as an opponent, Wang Yan must try his best to limit them and ensure victory.

Just after Thompson scored, Wang Yan quickly spoke to his teammates, asking everyone to work harder to assist in defense, especially on the outside.

Cavaliers attack.

Wang Yan carried the ball forward. Facing Green's close entanglement, Wang Yan did not hesitate and made a breakthrough.

At the moment when Green was moving quickly, Wang Yan suddenly took a big step back, leaned back a little, and shot a three-pointer!
With Wang Yan's height and wingspan, Green could only watch the ball and sigh, without even having time to commit a foul.

Swish!
Three points!
"Here he comes! The hot man is finally here!"

The fans cheered and were very excited.

By the Eastern Conference Finals, the fans finally understood.

As long as Wang Yan is there, the Cavaliers can win!
When Curry saw Wang Yan make a three-pointer, he also wanted to try.

After all, experts and fans are hyping that Curry will be the most powerful candidate to challenge Wang Yan's three-pointer!
However, as soon as Curry got the ball, he was double-teamed by the Cavaliers.

Although Curry was mentally prepared, he was still caught off guard by such a fierce double-team.

In a panic, he wanted to pass the ball to Green.

But the passing route was too obvious and was easily spotted by Wang Yan.

Snapped!
Wang Yan stretched out his arms and grabbed the ball before Green.

Green wanted to rush over to counterattack because Wang Yan had not yet stood firm.

But Wang Yan's reaction ability was extremely fast. After he stole the ball, he did not try to control the ball himself, but passed it to his teammate Jamison.

Jamison passed the ball to Irving who had already started on the left.

The Cavaliers' transition offense is the best in the league because of their quick reaction. As long as Wang Yan makes a shot, the others will start running back and forth.

In fact, such a reaction has both advantages and disadvantages. If Wang Yan fails to steal the ball, it will allow the opponent to score easily.

But Wang Yan is Wang Yan, he rarely fails!

His teammates also have great trust in him.

Irving and Butler crossed half court at the same time.

Although Green, Thompson and Curry quickly chased and defended, the Cavaliers players were not greedy for the ball. After two passes, Butler scored a layup.
