Chapter 82: A historic 3×15! Two undefeated months!

After the first quarter, Wang Yan walked off the court with ten blocks.

The Timberwolves' home court was eerily quiet, with the lively home atmosphere completely missing.

Both the fans and the players on the field were stunned by Wang Yan's explosive performance.

Love walked to the sidelines with his eyes wide open and a dazed look on his face.

A funny scene appeared. Love actually walked towards the Cavaliers' bench.

The god of love was completely stunned by Wang Yan.

TT pushed Love out while holding back his laughter, and Love then realized that he had come to the wrong place.

……

The game ended with the score locked at 116:107.
The score difference was not big because Wang Yan only played in the first half and did not play in the second half at all.

The Timberwolves took advantage of Wang Yan's absence in the second half and launched a counterattack.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers teammates were very strong and maintained the winning momentum until the end of the game.

Although he only played for 19 minutes in the first half, Wang Yan still tied the NBA's single-game record for most blocks - 15 blocks!
Although many fans and even the media were eagerly waiting for Wang Yan to break the record, Wang Yan still sat on the bench in the second half, unmoved.

Wang Yan used practical actions to tell people that what he cares about is the team's victory, not his own data!

Of course, the most important thing is that the Timberwolves were not strong enough, the players lost their fighting spirit and failed to force Wang Yan to play in the second half.

Although he did not break the single-game block record, Wang Yan still created a new terrifying data!
That is the first 3X15 in NBA history!

35 points + 18 rebounds + 15 blocks.

The biggest triple-double ever!
When Barkley and Kenny Smith from TNT heard this data, they held their heads in shock!
He kept shouting: "Embili, I'll take care of you! Embili, I'll take care of you!"

In the post-game interview, Love answered reporters' questions with a depressed look.

In fact, he didn't want to be interviewed and wanted to slip away after taking a shower.

But the reporters would not let him go, and besides, Love was the Timberwolves' star player, and giving interviews was written into his contract.

So Love had no choice but to accept the interview.

"Kevin, Wang Yan blocked 15 shots in today's game, 11 of which were on you. How do you think you can avoid Wang Yan's blocks?"

Love has a good personality. If he were a player with a bad temper, he would probably turn around and leave.

It's such a shame.

"Avoid Wang Yan's block?"

Love just smiled bitterly and replied: "Oh...the best way is..."

“No shot!”

The reporters were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing.

Come to think of it, it's true.

Wang Yan’s blocking today was amazing, it was everywhere, covering the sky and the sun!
stable!
quasi!
ruthless!
There were 15 blocks and not a single foul, they were all clean blocks!
Love's meaning is very clear, that is, if Wang Yan wants to block you, then you will have nowhere to escape.

No player can escape from Wang Yan, the walking hot pot restaurant manager!

Wang Yan's interview was very bland. He did not belittle Love, but instead praised his opponent's tenacity and hard work.

After the game, all major media outlets praised the Cavaliers' performance, especially Wang Yan, who was generous with his praise.

Sports Illustrated: "From three-quarter clocking in to half-time clocking in, Wang Yan has brought the Cavaliers to a new height!"

ESPN: "Wang Yan's 15 amazing blocks completely suppressed Love. The two are indeed not stars of the same level!"

NBA official website: "Wang Yan led the Cavaliers to victory with his 3X15 terrifying data, winning consecutive victories!"

Yahoo Sports: "Who can stop the Cavaliers' progress? It seems that only the Bulls dynasty can stop them."

……

Not only the American media was shocked, but the Chinese football fans were even more jubilant.

After the game, several CCTV sports hosts were still not satisfied and gave enthusiastic comments on Wang Yan's performance.

Zhang Weiping exclaimed: "Yao and O'Neal are the strongest inside players I have ever seen. One has delicate skills and soft touch, and the other is fierce and domineering, rushing around! But Wang Yan showed us a super inside player that combines the two of them. It's so exciting!"

Yang Jian nodded in agreement: "Coach Zhang spoke my mind. I was so excited that I shed tears. After Yao Ming retired, I thought the NBA would no longer have such an excellent inside player. I didn't expect it!"

Yu Jia also shook his head repeatedly: "Unbelievable, 10 blocks in a single quarter, 15 blocks in a half, even if the basketball emperor Chamberlain was reborn, he would not be more than this!"

Zhang Weiping looked at the comments on the big screen and couldn't help laughing: "Netizens are so talented. Look at this one: The hot pot restaurant manager officially opened today! And this one: The undefeated god of war has appeared. Wang Yan is our undefeated god of war!"

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, then he clapped his hands and laughed: "This nickname is amazing. He blocked 15 shots in the first half. He is indeed the manager of the hot pot restaurant. The Cavaliers' winning streak should be attributed to Wang Yan. He is also the undefeated god of war!"

Due to Wang Yan’s outstanding performance, the number of fans in China has skyrocketed!

If Yao Ming was the leader who brought Chinese fans into the NBA, then Wang Yan is the successor who carried forward the tradition!
Although he has not won any great honors yet, the dominance displayed by Wang Yan is terrifying. As long as he stays healthy, he will definitely be an honor harvester in the future!

Take this season for example. As long as the Cavaliers finish in the top three in the regular season, Wang Yan will definitely win the MVP based on his statistics.

In addition, his defensive deterrence exceeds that of Dwight Howard, who won two consecutive DPOY titles.

In addition, all the honors, big and small, such as Best of the Week and Best of the Month, will be won.

But these are not the most important things to Wang Yan!
Wang Yan has only one goal in mind, and that is the championship trophy - the O'Brien Cup!

Because every superstar needs a championship ring to prove his dominance.

. . . .

After the game, Wang Yan naturally became the focus of discussion among the guests at the TNT evening forum.

Wang Yan's name has become a traffic password.

Almost all topics about basketball cannot avoid Wang Yan!

Today's TNT panel is hosted by Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, and the guest is O'Neal.

O'Neal, who just retired, and Barkley are a pair of funny people.

Every time the two of them bicker, the show makes the audience laugh.

Kenny Smith's hosting style is relatively calm, neutral and impartial, so he always acts as a peacemaker.

This makes the show even more exciting.

"Charles, let's welcome the Big Shark to the scene. He is our most special guest, isn't he?" Kenny Smith held back his smile and made a brief introduction.

Barkley shook his bald head and curled his lips: "I promise, I didn't invite him here. Today I want him to comment on Wang Yan, the hottest rookie today. I think he has surpassed O'Neal in his rookie period!"

It’s not that enemies don’t get together.

As soon as the game started, Barkley threw a bomb to O'Neal.

Now Wang Yan is a favorite among fans, so O'Neal is reluctant to take up this topic.

But O'Neal's reaction ability was quick, and he might have been prepared.

After all, all basketball programs cannot avoid Wang Yan.

"I like Wang Yan very much."

"But if you compare him to my rookie period, I believe I can beat him. I'm very confident!"

O'Neal's answer was a typical American communication, very confident, and expressed respect for Wang Yan. Barkley didn't tolerate him and pressed him: "What? How dare you say that? What were your stats as a rookie, what were Wang Yan's stats? And did you ever have a 28-game winning streak with the Magic?"

Kenny Smith saw that Barkley was firing on all cylinders and O'Neal was a little overwhelmed, so he quickly came out to smooth things over.

"It's a different era! It's hard to compare. I think both of them are great. It all depends on how Wang Yan performs in the playoffs!"

O'Neal took advantage of the situation and scratched his head and said, "Smith is right. The times are different and the rules are different!"

Barkley did not embarrass the Sharks anymore and continued to talk about Wang Yan.

"You two, the winners of the December Monthly Awards have been announced, and Wang Yan has been selected without a doubt! Let us congratulate Wang Yan!"

Smith nodded and said, "Wang Yan's performance was amazing. I haven't seen such an eye-catching rookie in many years. He deserves to be named Player of the Month!"

O'Neal also praised him: "I admit that Wang Yan has more offensive methods than me. Except for three-pointers, he has mastered almost all offensive skills, and his defense is also top-notch. He has a good chance of winning DPOY this year!"

This is not the Big Shark being modest. Wang Yan's mid-range and layup skills have long surpassed O'Neal's back then.

O'Neal never developed his mid-range shot, and the Spurs even later invented the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic, which was a shame for O'Neal.

Wang Yan's free throw percentage this season has reached 85%.

This is already the hit rate of the league's top shooter!

Barkley asked: "Did you know that Wang Yan is the first rookie in NBA history to win the best player award for two consecutive months? It's amazing!"

Smith and O'Neal really didn't know about this, and both of them opened their mouths in shock.

"It's really terrifying. The season isn't even halfway through yet. That means Wang Yan, as a first-year rookie, has only played for two months and he has already won Player of the Month awards for both months?"

"That's right, they took it all, leaving no chance for others!"

O'Neal shook his head and smiled bitterly, "During the offseason, I predicted that Kobe and LeBron would have the most intense competition this season. I didn't expect that Wang Yan would appear out of nowhere and overshadow these two."

Kenny Smith nodded and said, "Wang Yan is a phenomenal star. He has the shadow of many people, but they are not right. Wang Yan's style is unique!"

Several people praised Wang Yan highly, very naturally, without any deliberate words of flattery.

Because they all told the truth based on Wang Yan's luxurious data.

The big shark is a big shark after all, and he is a little narrow-minded.

After praising for a while, he began to brag about himself and talked about his three consecutive championships.

In NBA history, there are indeed very few dynasty teams that can complete three consecutive championships.

The Big Shark won three consecutive FMVPs, which became the proudest honor of his career.

"Although Wang Yan is very good, it is still too difficult for him to win three consecutive championships!"

Barkley did not refute him as usual this time, but smiled wickedly and said: "Shaq, we have a special session tonight, guess what it is?"

The Big Shark was enjoying the show, but when he heard Barkley say there was a special segment, he was stunned for a moment.

"What part?"

"We have made an appointment with Wang Yan to connect with him."

O'Neal was a little embarrassed.

Although he is a very funny person in real life, he can't brag in front of Wang Yan.

Because Wang Yan’s performance this season is so amazing and his statistics are excellent!

O'Neal's forehead was a little sweaty.

Smith started to call Wang Yan. After the call was connected, Smith greeted Wang Yan enthusiastically.

"Good evening, Wang. First of all, congratulations on another great victory!"

Smith is very eloquent and Wang Yan is also very polite.

"Hello, Charles, Shaq, long time no see!"

Unlike other Asian players, Wang Yan is very cheerful and talkative.

Barkley and O'Neal also greeted them.

Smith guided the connection and quickly got to the point.

"Wang, you have achieved 29 consecutive victories. What preparations have you made for the next game? We are all looking forward to your 30th consecutive victory!"

Wang Yan bought a standard official answer: "For us, there is no need to make special preparations. We just need to do some targeted training under the arrangement of the coach. The most important thing is to play our own game."

Listening to Wang Yan's talk, Barkley and O'Neal nodded repeatedly.

This young man is not simple. Not only does he have clear ideas, but he is also a good person.

Wang Yan did not put himself above the team, but put the coach first.

This is different from some black players.

Some players ignore their coaches and teammates after playing a few good games.

To put it nicely, it’s confidence; to put it bluntly, it’s arrogance!
Barkley started to stir up trouble again: "Wang, did you watch our show just now? Shaq said that his rookie period was much better than yours, what do you think?"

"NONONO!"

O'Neal waved his hands and explained: "Wang, don't listen to his nonsense, it's not true..."

Before he could finish, Wang Yan interrupted him with a smile.

"Haha! I was just watching your show. To be honest, there are a lot of fans in China who like to watch you two bickering, especially the last time you kissed the donkey's ass. That was such a classic!"

Wang Yan did not give a direct answer, but mentioned this matter, which made Barkley a little embarrassed.

Now it was O'Neal's turn to taunt Barkley wildly.

However, Barkley does this for a living after all, and although it was a bit embarrassing, he quickly changed the subject.

"Hey, I just accepted the loss, and I'm not the only one who kissed the donkey's ass, right?"

No one will ever forget the second person besides Barkley to kiss a donkey's ass.

Little Emperor LeBron James.

Besides, the incident of James kissing a donkey's butt is much more interesting than O'Neal's.

The donkey even farted.

"But today I want to make another bet with Shaq, Fatty, do you dare?
Just now, O'Neal said that Wang Yan would not be able to get past the first round of the playoffs.

Because the team did not make the playoffs in his rookie season, he brazenly predicted that the Cavaliers would not make it past the first round.

Of course, what O'Neal said was just nonsense.

But Barkley will not lose the opportunity to get back at the plate.

It's not that he is petty, but he wants to outwit O'Neal for the sake of show effect!
O'Neill scratched his head, feeling a little guilty: "Well... I did say that just now, but is it necessary to make a bet in front of Wang Yan?"

Smith added fuel to the fire: "Of course, the bet will only count if it is made in front of the parties involved!"

Speaking of this, Wang Yan also became interested.

First round of playoffs...

Who are you looking down on?
