Chapter 45: Kaleidoscope of Attack vs. Defense of Sand! Melon's magic is gone!
"Hahaha, Tyson is still in a mess."

at the same time
Heaven, Magic City

Yao Ming, who has already retired, or the female Zhao Riyue who is about to devote herself to the Chinese basketball career, saw Wang Yan dunk over Tyson.

The level of inner comfort is no less than that of the fans.

The young Yao Ming played a game with Tyson Chandler.

It was after this battle.

Yao Ming officially made up his mind and signed up for the NBA draft with confidence.

Because he beat Tyson Chandler, a potential No. 1 pick.

Even after logging into the NBA.

Whenever Dayao mentioned this matter, the smile on his face became more and more outrageous.

And now.

Watching Tyson Chandler being dunked on by his younger brother, Wang Yan, the successor of the Chinese basketball torch.

Dayao was extremely pleased.

Basketball is very popular in China!
. . . .

On the field.

After trash talking Tyson Chandler.

Wang Yan looked at Knicks head coach D'Antoni and spread his hands as if to say.

That's it?

The high-priced defensive center you acquired from Dallas.

At this level?

Fortunately, Tyson turned around and endured the huge pressure on the offensive end, providing a screen for Melo, who made a mid-range pull-up shot to tie the score again.

Say something.

Putting aside the defense, the Knicks' offense is truly top-notch.

Melo and Stoudemire both average 50+ points per game.

Tyson's screens and frontcourt rebounds can provide the team with sufficient ammunition.

However, their weakness on defense was somewhat exposed today.

Irving made a serpentine breakthrough in the frontcourt, attracted the defense and made a high pass to assist Wang Yan, who then easily dunked the ball in an alley-oop.

6 is better than 4
“This is exactly what I expected.”

The on-site commentator also made frequent sounds.

"Both teams have players who are very good at attacking, and it is very likely that they will play a game where neither can defend the other."

"This may be the most exciting offensive battle so far this season!"

The fans also began to look forward to it.

This game is very likely to reach a critical moment.

In the following games, the Knicks' offense still mainly revolved around Melo.

As for why?
The reason is that after Wang Yan was promoted to defense, Stoudemire's scoring efficiency plummeted.

The reason is also very simple.

When Stoudemire's shot encountered Wang Yan's close defense, he was forced to convert it into a face-to-face offense.

Then goose.

No matter in terms of speed or height, Xiao Si could not challenge Wang Yan alone.

It would be fine if it was during the Suns period, after all, I could create more comfortable offensive space for Stoudemire.

But, Stoudemire doesn't have an outstanding point guard around him now.

Melon is more focused on his own scoring data rather than his teammates.

As for the Cavaliers' offense, it was completely led by Wang Yan.

Let's just put it that way.

Wang Yan could even produce a set of highlights from his one-on-one match against Stoudemire.

"58 Ways for Wang Yan to Challenge Stoudemire"

Bang!

Following Wang Yan's ground frame, he broke through with his left hand and turned the gyroscope around.

He raised his hand and did a one-handed slam dunk through the defense of Stoudemire and Tyson.

The third quarter was about to end and Wang Yan had already scored 45 points.

"It turns out that Stoudemire is far from the best candidate to defend Wang Yan."

At the end of the third quarter, A. Smith, a loyal fan of the New York Knicks, shook his head while watching Wang Yan's performance.

"Even with Tyson Chandler's help defense, Wang Yan still has his way in the Knicks' restricted area!"

"The record for the highest score in a single game at Madison Square Garden is 52 points. Wang Yan is very likely to break this record!"

Madison Square Garden, a basketball mecca.

The highest single-game scoring record on this court is 06 points set by Jamal Crawford in the 07-52 season.

Wang Yan, who has scored 45 points in just three quarters, is very likely to break this record.

"But I think Cameron won't let the record here be left on the visiting team's players."

Mike Breen on the side said: "Cameron was hot tonight, he also scored 36 points."

"We all know Cameron's explosive scoring ability. The scoring competition between him and Wang Yan is likely to reach a fever pitch in the fourth quarter."

. . .

"Give me the ball!"

On the Knicks bench.

Anthony restrained his melon-like smile, and his face showed the focus he had when he faced Kobe in the Western Conference Finals: "I will never allow Wang Yan to break the scoring record here."

Just like the narrator said.

Melon would never allow Wang Yan to break the scoring record of Madison Square Garden.

Even if it is broken.

Melo will also catch up tonight.

D'Antoni's expression changed slightly, a little complicated.

The team is now 10 points behind.

What Melon cares more about doesn't seem to be the outcome of the game.

But it's personal honors and personal scoring data.

D'Antoni's dissatisfaction was written all over his face.

Obviously, the head coach didn't like Melo's attitude.

But he didn't dare to confront a big star like Melo.

But in D'Antoni's eyes.

This Knicks team has already fallen out of the ranks of championship-level teams.

. . .

"It's time to end this game."

And the other side.

On the Cavaliers' bench, Wang Yan patted Butler on the shoulder and said, "Let me defend Cameron in the fourth quarter!"

That's right!

Wang Yan volunteered to defend Anthony in the final quarter.

In the first three quarters, the one defending Melo was the Cavaliers' perimeter defender: Jimmy Butler.

But to be honest, Butler was on the thin side in his rookie season, with a full 15 kilogram weight difference between him and Anthony.

Although Butler has some shining points in footwork and physical fitness, Melon has obvious advantages in confrontation, shooting height and accuracy.

In particular, Melon will look for Tyson Chandler's positioning screen to create space.

So Gua gave the young Butler a lot of teaching moments today.

"But Wang, if you defend Cameron, Amar'e's offense will be a problem."

Byron Scott spoke.

"It's ok!"

However, Wang Yan smiled and patted Butler on the shoulder again: "Jimmy will take action."

When these words were spoken, everyone around them looked surprised.

Butler is a small forward.

But when he defends a power forward...

Wouldn't it be a bit thin?
However, after three quarters of confrontation, Wang Yan had already stripped off Stoudemire's underwear and saw his strengths and weaknesses clearly.

Stoudemire is only 2 meters tall, the standard height for a power forward.

But don't underestimate Butler.

The reason why Butler will be able to confuse everyone in the future and lead the team to the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals consecutively is that many experts have studied it for a long time but still cannot figure out what kind of magical talent Butler has.

In the end, everyone praised Butler's toughness, physical fitness, mental strength, and other invisible talents.

But one thing many people overlook is:

Butler's height!

Jiba is 2 meters long!
His movement speed + strength.

Can defend positions 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Butler defended Stoudemire, who had no advantage in terms of movement speed or even strength.

Even if there is a 5 cm height difference.

But in Wang Yan's opinion.

Nothing to fear!

. . . .

Back in the final quarter.

Byron Scott still adopted Wang Yan's suggestion.

The Knicks were on offense, and when Anthony got into position he discovered that the person behind him was actually Wang Yan, and he couldn't help but feel delighted.

Then he directly gave Wang Yan an elbow.

Don't be surprised.

According to statistics, Melo is the most physical offensive player in the entire league.

In the Western Conference Finals when he faced off against Kobe, it can be said that at least five fouls were called every time he was in position.

"Anti-python! This is the scene I'm most looking forward to."

Wang Yan's matchup with Anthony also caught the commentator's eyes.

"This is the first time Wang Yan defended Cameron one-on-one in this game!"

Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the ball was immediately passed to Melon.

Then, I saw it.

Melon curled his lips, revealing a smile that was sly and handsome.

"Oh hoo!"

"What did I see?"

"Facing Wang Yan's one-on-one defense, Melon actually smiled. He smiled so easily!"

Let’s interpret Melo’s smile.

It probably means:
"You ignorant young man, you have no idea how powerful I am!"

Or is it:

"I'm going to teach you a lesson, young man!"

With the fans' expectations high, Anthony turned around and said, "Watch this, young man."

“I’ll only do it once.”

The voice just fell.

Melo faked a right-handed shot, but it was actually a fake move, and he released the ball with his left hand.

But this did not fool Wang Yan, who quickly moved sideways to block Melon.

And the next moment.

Melon seized the opportunity, passed the ball, used his right foot as an axis, and made a graceful and smooth turn and layup, causing the whole audience to exclaim.

boom!
At Madison Square Garden, the fans' eyes all lit up.

The drum washing machine turns around.

Melon's signature technique!
What is Offensive Kaleidoscope?
This is an offensive kaleidoscope!
Whoosh!
Now everyone thought that Melo would easily score a low layup.

A terrifying black shadow came with a bang!

The smile on Anthony's face in the air instantly faded.

Because he was completely shrouded in darkness!
"OHHHHH"

"Wang Yan! It was Wang Yan who blocked Carmelo Anthony's turnaround layup!"

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Wang Yan's big hand slammed the ball into the backboard and it bounced back and shot out.

"I see clearly."

After blocking the shot, Wang Yan also looked at Anthony and smiled smugly: "So I blocked it."

"..."

Tiangua frowned, but he was not in the mood to argue with Wang Yan.

Melon waved his arms and yelled at the referee for goaltending.

This round just now was indeed the limit.

Melo's fingers were almost at the same height as the basket when he made a layup.

The height that the basketball rises may only be a few centimeters.

So Melon thought that Wang Yan might interfere with the ball.

But in fact.

This block has no possibility of interfering with the ball.

Wang Yan is an expert at controlling length.

Even if it's only 2 centimeters.

But 2 centimeters can already do a lot of things and can bring people to a completely different level of climax.

……

And later on, the slow motion was shown on the big screen.

The details of this round were also shown to everyone.

“That was a perfect block!”

After watching the video replay clearly, the commentator A. Smith on the sidelines said excitedly: "Although Cameron relied on his skills to leave Wang Yan behind."

"Wang Yan still relied on his terrifying talent to give Cameron a block that ranked first on the Top Ten Plays list!"

"Man! This is top-notch technology meeting top-notch talent!"

Or rather.

Under Wang Yan's sand defense.

Melon's kaleidoscope offense is not magical anymore!
