Chapter 181 The defensive players collided and Wang Yan made another winning shot!
117: 116!
The Cavaliers overtook by 1 point again.
Wang Yan relied on his strong personal ability to overtake others.
The Warriors players all sighed. They had tried their best, but there was nothing they could do about Wang Yan's powerful attack.
Fortunately, there is still enough time for the Warriors to continue fighting back.
There are 57 seconds left on the clock.
Green dribbled the ball forward, while Curry and Thompson, one on the left and one on the right, started running frantically without the ball.
These two little guys can really run. Irving and Butler are chasing them closely, and Wang Yan also has to pay attention to assisting in defense.
Suddenly, when the two of them reached the end line, they ran towards each other, and then they turned around hand in hand like they were doing a ballroom dance.
This time, Irving and Butler were a little confused.
I don’t know who to chase.
After turning around, Curry and Thompson returned along the same route.
So unexpected.
Irving and Butler paused for a moment before chasing after them.
Just this pause gave both of them a chance to make a move.
Green flicked his wrist, whoosh!
The ball was passed to Thompson accurately like a cannonball.
His choice was correct because Thompson was farther away from Wang Yan.
If the ball is passed to Curry, Wang Yan can rush over with two steps.
And Thompson has an advantage in height.
Swish!
As expected of Thompson, he became more accurate in the critical moments and made empty three-pointers.
119:117, the Warriors overtook by 2 points!
There is only 36 seconds left.
Even if the Cavaliers can still tie or overtake, the Warriors only have one chance to attack.
The Cavaliers did not call a timeout, and Wang Yan gestured to his teammates.
Irving dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and Wang Yan ran to the bottom corner again.
The Warriors must make a choice: to completely lock down Wang Yan or to provide comprehensive defense.
As the core of defense, Green made a decisive decision to defend Wang Yan himself while Bogut guarded the basket.
Wang Yan countered the move and secretly nodded to Owen.
Irving wasted time dribbling the ball, and when there were more than 3 seconds left in the offensive time, he suddenly shot!
However, his hand shape for this shot was a bit weird.
Sure enough, the basketball hit the basket, bounced out, and flew to the left side of the basket.
Wang Yan got in front of Green and pushed the ball, whoosh!
The ball was passed to Irving again.
The situation changed immediately!
There are 14 seconds left in the game and it's the Cavaliers' attack time again.
In other words, if the Cavaliers can score, the Warriors will have no offensive time.
Curry suddenly became nervous and shouted: "Defend the outside line!"
The Warriors are now leading by 2 points. As long as the Cavaliers don't make a three-pointer, the Warriors will have a chance. At worst, they can go into overtime!
Irving protected the ball and observed Wang Yan's movements at the top of the arc.
Wang Yan and Green continued to tangle.
With 5 seconds left, Wang Yan took advantage of the moment when Bogut had his back to him and ran towards the basket.
Green hurriedly chased after him and stretched out his hand to prevent Wang Yan from catching the ball.
Who knows, Wang Yan chose this moment for a reason.
He used Bogut's body to block Green!
Green failed to brake and crashed into Bogut. The two of them collided and looked a little embarrassed.
Wang Yan took advantage of the situation and ran to the other corner.
Those long legs were really fast. They ran from one corner to the other in just a few steps, and caused two opposing defenders to collide with each other.
Irving was waiting for this opportunity. Before Wang Yan even reached the corner, he passed the ball to the corner. What a tacit understanding.
Wang Yan is here, the ball is here!
Curry watched from afar and felt a chill in his heart, knowing that something bad was going to happen.
3 seconds…2 seconds…1 seconds…
Shot!
Who could have thought that the Cavaliers would do this in the end.
Can it hit?
The home fans all held their breath and stared at the basketball flying in the air!
The timid fans closed their eyes out of fear.
If the whole audience cheers after a while, it means the goal has been scored.
If there is a sigh, it means you didn’t get in.
The red timing light came on while the basketball was still in the air.
A decisive victory or a failure?
Swish!
The basketball went into the basket accurately, and the white net flipped up, like a rippling white wave!
In!
Lore!
The whole audience roared immediately. It was so exciting.
Many fans were in tears; it was not easy to win this game.
They thought the Cavaliers were going to lose another home game.
The shadow of the Eastern Conference Finals has remained until now, which shows how painful the loss in that game was for the fans.
The Cavaliers players rushed towards Wang Yan like crazy and hugged him tightly excitedly.
To be honest, the Splash Brothers had a high shooting percentage today, and many players were left breathless by the Warriors' fierce bombardment.
So Wang Yan’s fatal blow was simply a huge surprise!
Even though Wang Yan has made the winning shot many times, his teammates still find it incredible every time!
Curry, Thompson, Green and other Warriors players looked pale.
They played their best basketball, but there was nothing they could do because they were facing the uncrowned champions.
Wang Yan told the Warriors who the real three-point king is!
Today Wang Yan played for 39 minutes and scored 45 points, another perfect game.
Wang Yan celebrated with his teammates for a while, then held hands with his teammates and bowed to the Cavaliers fans who refused to leave the stadium for a long time.
The fans were so excited that they shouted Wang Yan's name!
A well-deserved city hero!
In the live broadcast room of Tianchao Sports Channel, several guests and fans were still savoring the lore of the goal.
Yao Ming was so excited that he even asked the director, "Director, can you play the round where Wang Yan scored the winning goal over and over again? It's such a classic!"
Indeed, Wang Yan was so calm in the final round!
Whether it's running without the ball or catching the ball and shooting, it's like the code in the hands of a programmer, extremely precise!
"The more I watch Wang Yan, the more I like him! Although we won today by a buzzer beater, Wang Yan performed with ease throughout the entire game. The Warriors are still a little young!" Coach Zhang praised while staring at the big screen.
Hu Weidong, however, praised the Warriors: "Although the Warriors lost, as the biggest dark horse this year, they were able to push the Cavaliers to the last minute on the road, which was already shocking! It seems that the Lakers' loss was not unfair!"
Yao Ming nodded and said, "That's right. The Warriors used today's performance to tell the world that they are qualified to enter the finals, and more qualified than the Lakers!"
The reason I say this is because after the Warriors beat the Lakers, they were attacked by a lot of black fans.
There's no way, James and Kobe have too many fans.
If there was no Wang Yan, the fans of these two would account for almost 60 to 70 percent of the fans.
The Warriors players were also holding their breath.
Just think about it, if the Warriors were really swept by the Cavaliers 4:0, James and Comey fans would laugh to death, as they think the Warriors made it to the finals by luck.
Curry seemed very upset when he was interviewed after the game.
"As the uncrowned champions, the Cavaliers are very strong. We didn't play well, but I promise that in the next game, we will play different basketball and win the Cavaliers' home court!"
