Chapter 21 Finals: A long-distance showdown! A New York Big Three lineup of Anthony + Amar'e Stoudemire + Wang Yan?
"OH! MY! GOD!"
New York, USA
Madison Square Garden.
The commentator looked at Wang Yan's offensive movements and was so shocked that he almost roared.
"Wang Yan faced Derrick Williams in a one-on-one match, pushed him away, and dunked directly from under his crotch!"
"This is a move that earned full marks in the NBA dunk contest. Wang Yan brought it directly into the positional offense!"
It is not uncommon to see dunks between the legs during games.
But it usually happens in fast break transition.
Wang Yan's goal occurred during a positional attack.
This is so fucking outrageous!
"Compared to this crotch dunk, I care more about Wang Yan's direct push over Derek just now."
“Before the match, I always thought that Derek’s advantage over Wang Yan might be strength.”
"But the reality is that Derek is still vulnerable in terms of strength!"
Back to the game, Arizona attacked.
The ball was first controlled by Arizona's outside core Solomon Hill.
However, after a circle inside, he failed to avoid Wang Yan's deterrence and then transferred the ball to the outside.
Derrick Williams faked a shot, breaking through Claude's defense, then broke into the basket and saw Wang Yan, his eyes turned red.
boom!
After being humiliated by Wang Yan's crotch-cross dunk in the last round, Derrick Williams was determined to save face no matter what.
Of course, he also saved the dignity of his draft pick!
Derrick Williams doesn't think that his draft pick will necessarily be after Wang Yan.
boom!
And that was the moment Derrick Williams took off.
Wang Yan smiled slightly.
I really wonder why there are always people who fail to recognize the reality and challenge themselves blindly in every game...
Wang Yan also jumped up with both feet, stretched out his long arms, and spread his five fingers.
Such a scene.
It made the fans at Madison Square Garden stand up again.
Coming?
Coming?
Is Derrick Williams going to regain his face from Wang Yan?
No matter what, prove yourself.
This is what young people should be like!
So in the end it was Derrick Williams who managed to save his reputation.
Or is it Wang Yan's continuous humiliation?
next moment.
Wang Yan's giant thunder palm gave the answer.
Bang! !
A dull sound that even the fans at the scene could hear.
Wang Yan’s big hand pressed the basketball down tightly.
Derrick Williams, who was hit hard, lost control of his body and fell to the ground in a mess.
"OHHHHHHH"
The fans at the scene first exclaimed, and then burst into an unparalleled scream.
"Wakan pays taxes!!"
In the commentary booth, Charles Barkley also screamed: "Derrick Williams tried to challenge Wang Yan head-on, but was humiliated by Wang Yan head-on!"
"I have to give Derrick Williams a thumbs up for his courage. I love his energy."
"But unfortunately, Wang Yan will embarrass everyone who wants to prove himself on him!"
"Aunt, wait! What happened?"
"Why hasn't Derrick Williams stood up yet? He's holding his waist!"
"God! Marquette University has completed the counterattack, and he hasn't stood up yet!"
Watching what was happening on the court, Charles Barkley raised one question after another.
His eyes fell on Derrick Williams.
Ever since he was overturned by Wang Yan.
He rolled and squirmed on the floor with his hands on his waist until the Arizona University professor called a timeout and the camera focused on Derrick Williams' face full of pain.
Only then did everyone realize.
"Oh my god, Derrick Williams, he's not going to get hurt?!"
Barkley shook his head. He didn't want this to happen.
"It looks like this: Derrick Williams sprained his back after being blocked by Wang Yan."
Although it's a bit funny, the situation is not optimistic.
Derrick Williams returned to the bench and received a massage from the team doctor.
but……
Derrick Williams was in a very depressed mood.
And it wasn't just Williams who was equally frustrated, the team doctor was also.
The expressions of the Arizona medical staff were all extremely solemn.
Williams' situation is quite bleak.
After the timeout, Williams still did not play.
Marquette University took advantage of Arizona's lack of offensive firepower and widened the gap to 10 points in just two minutes of game time.
The camera turns to Derrick Williams again.
The language of the lens is already very obvious.
Arizona needs Williams to return.
But the camera just turned around.
The next moment, Williams returned to the player tunnel with the help of medical staff.
Ah this...
"Derrick Williams actually returned to the locker room. Was he injured by Wang Yan's collision?"
"Just look at how terrifying the challenge to Wang Yan was. He was seriously injured in the fall."
"Derrick may not be able to return to this game."
As Kenneth Smith said.
In this game, Derrick Williams really showed no signs of returning.
At halftime, Marquette had blasted Arizona for 59 points.
You have to know that the first half of an NBA game is only 20 minutes, and the offensive time for a single round is 35 seconds.
Usually, scoring 80 points in a game is considered very high.
59 points in the first half is an extremely high score even in the NBA.
More importantly.
Without Williams, Arizona's offense was severely stagnant.
They only scored 30 points in the first half and lost by 29 points.
The deficit is almost equal to the number of points a team scores.
"Losing Derek is like losing our backbone."
During the half-time break, the commentator on the scene was still analyzing the game.
The meaning is quite obvious.
If Williams cannot return in the second half.
Arizona's March Madness journey will come to an end.
Looking forward to it.
There was still no sign of Williams in the second half of the game, which was a sign of things to come.
The game has officially come to an end.
Seeing that the score difference had widened to more than 30 points, the commentators also started talking about other things.
"What happened tonight affected more than just the game itself."
Kenny Smith shook his head and sighed.
"Derrick Williams is a top-three player in the draft and was even ranked above Wang Yan at one point in the early season."
"This was a great opportunity for him to prove himself, but he left the field in disgrace after one minute!"
"The attack and defense matchup with Wang Yan became a reference specimen for the comparison between him and Wang Yan."
"So, this will seriously affect his draft stock."
Like Kenny Smith said.
This game definitely affects many NBA teams.
As a result, they only saw the opening minute of the game when Wang Yan and Derrick Williams faced off.
The ending is.
Not only was Williams knocked to the ground by Wang Yan's violent block, he was also injured on the spot.
The defense was also blocked by Wang Yan who completed a dunk between the legs.
Williams' draft status.
It's really worrying. Can I return to the game?
Arizona's performance without Williams can be described as completely different.
With 10 minutes left in the game, the score difference had widened to 40 points.
Wang Yan was also substituted after scoring 48 points and 26 rebounds.
"There is no doubt that Wang Yan is still the first contributor to the victory!"
Barkley still attributed all the credit for the victory to Wang Yan.
"Not only did he lead his team to victory and reach the finals, but he also gained the upper hand in the draft competition with Derrick Williams!"
"His strength is so terrifying. When he blocked Derrick Williams, there was no suspicion of a foul at all!"
"But he slapped Derrick Williams right into the infirmary!"
Use up the last few minutes of garbage time
The final score was 120:75
Marquette set the team's single-game scoring record and also created the team's largest point difference record.
"In three days, we will see a peak showdown in LA!"
After the game, the closer has already set his sights on the upcoming finals: "No one can resist the appeal of Marquette vs. Duke Blue Devils!"
"Wang Yan vs. Kyrie Irving, this may be the most explosive game in the history of March Madness!"
"I have reason to believe that the popularity of this year's NBA Finals is not as high as this crazy three-point game!"
The two most popular NCAA players met in the finals.
The devil muscle man Wang Yan.
Technical ceiling Irving.
Who will reach the top among the purple and gold peaks?
Just thinking about it makes me so excited!
"I heard Kyrie Irving say they're going to wipe out all the enemies in the world."
Jimmy Butler appeared in front of the camera after the game and looked somewhat excited.
"He will soon pay the price for his youth."
"There is only one ending to the final."
"Wang Yan will crush all enemies under his feet!"
As strong as Butler.
All the flattery was also directed at Wang Yan.
Ever since Wang Yan led Marquette to an incredible record.
Butler was completely convinced by Wang Yan.
No one can beat Wang Yan in college competition!
Even in the NBA, there are very few.
"I can't imagine where Kyrie Irving got the confidence to say that."
And the other side.
Marquette Golden Eagles No. 3 Jae Crowder also said in the interview: "The championship can only be our Marquette Golden Eagles!"
"The reason is simple. We have the best Big Three lineup in NCAA history!"
"It's impossible for someone to defeat us?"
Compared to Butler, who gave all the credit to Wang Yan.
Jae Crowder brazenly included himself in Marquette's Big Three lineup.
indeed.
It's about seniority.
Crowder will be the team's No. 3 player after Butler and Wang Yan.
but……
Claude's words were somewhat dryly humorous.
After all, there is no need to say much about Claude's offensive level.
In March Madness, he averaged only 7 points per game.
Throughout the season, he averaged only 8.8 points per game.
On the defensive end, he made many contributions that cannot be reflected in the statistics.
Crowder has the ability to enter the NBA and he has the potential to become an excellent 3D player.
But the Big Three…
Funny.
The reporters smiled slightly, treating Claude's remarks as a joke.
Then the reporter looked at the real protagonist of the game.
Wang Yan!
But when the camera fell on Wang Yan.
There was no smile on Wang Yan's face.
There wasn't even any sign of joy.
"Wang, your brother Jack Crowder just made a very interesting joke."
The reporter pointed the microphone at Wang Yan: "But why didn't you smile? Why didn't you even show any emotion?"
"Mood swings?"
After hearing the reporter's incredible words, Wang Yan was also puzzled: "I don't think Jie is joking, I just heard him stating a fact!"
“The Marquette Golden Eagle is the undisputed champion!”
The reporter couldn't help swallowing when he heard this.
Wang Yan pretended not to have heard Claude's remarks about the Big Three.
Instead, I only heard about the Marquette Golden Eagles’ championship.
have to say.
The two top players from Marquette and Duke.
Trash talk from a distance!
The atmosphere of the finals has been fully created!
. . . . .
"This kid..."
later.
Carmelo Anthony is in Boston, preparing for the playoffs.
When I saw the news about Wang Yan’s post-match interview in the newspaper, I couldn’t help but sigh.
"It's a pity that time is not kind to me, otherwise I really want to go to the scene to watch his game."
Melo was traded to the Knicks with 27 games remaining in the regular season.
And led the Knicks into the playoffs as seventh in the Eastern Conference.
The playoffs have just begun and Anthony is already in Boston, but New York's Madison Square Garden was temporarily requisitioned as the venue for the March Madness games.
It’s a pity that Melon can’t go back.
Otherwise, he really wanted to see this talented freak who dominated the NCAA.
"You're just like James Dolan."
Noticing that Anthony was reading the newspaper seriously, Stoudemire put on his glasses.
After confirming that Anthony was browsing the news about Wang Yan, Stoudemire smiled and said, "You all can't resist Wang Yan's talent, right?"
"You mean, James Dolan is also interested in Wang Yan?"
Melon looked at Stoudemire and asked.
After only playing 27 games for the team, Melo is not very familiar with the Knicks' owner.
Melo still doesn't know much about some of the team's depth initiatives.
Although Stoudemire was only traded to the Knicks this season.
He played a full season in New York.
Stoudemire played a full season in New York.
"I've heard that James Dolan has been paying attention to Wang Yan."
Stoudemire smiled and said, "But many team owners can't refuse Wang Yan."
"Of course, this includes me."
Upon hearing this, Melo and Stoudemire smiled at each other.
This year, the Knicks made drastic changes to their lineup, not only trading for Stoudemire at the beginning of the season.
Even at the end of the season, they brought in Anthony.
The combination of the two superstars is to restore New York to its former glory.
However, the combination of Stoudemire and Anthony still feels a little lacking in the Eastern Conference where there are so many strong teams.
If Wang Yan could come to New York.
Stoudemire + Wang Yan will definitely be the top inside combination in the NBA.
The outside line is supported by the firepower of Melo Anthony.
New York New Order!
Compete with the Heat and the Celtics' Big Three.
Will not be at a disadvantage at all.
“This is indeed something to look forward to.”
Thinking about Wang Yan being able to come to New York, Melon was filled with excitement.
"It's time to contact James Dolan, the third of New York's Big Three."
"It can only be Wang Yan!"
