Chapter 85: Three minutes into the game, all the players were blocked!
Nowitzki looked at Wang Yan in shock, then raised his head to look at the big screen above.
Because he didn't understand, how could Wang Yan, who was clearly tricked by him and moved so far away, cover himself?
The big screen above played slow motion from various angles.
After watching it, Nowitzki was completely convinced.
Wang Yan's speed and predictive ability are simply amazing!
Just as he leaned back, Wang Yan had already jumped above him.
In other words, only Wang Yan's software and hardware could crack the Golden Rooster Stand.
Driver has been playing for so many years, what kind of defensive players has he not seen?
Mutombo, Howard, Garnett, Mourning and so on.
No one can defend against his one-legged stand, which is also his unique skill that enabled him to win the MVP!
But today...
Nowitzki felt a little uncomfortable and walked to the sidelines with his head down.
Teammates rushed over to comfort him, especially Carter's words, which made Nowitzki feel even worse.
"Dirk, it's okay, Wang Yan is just lucky!"
Nowitzki smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
With such excellent offense and defense, can it be attributed to good luck?
The Mavericks continued to attack.
But they only had 1.3 seconds left on the shot clock.
Nowitzki didn't dare to catch the ball, so Kidd had to throw a buzzer-beating shot near the center circle.
air ball
Three no-sticks!
The Cavaliers attack!
After Wang Yan got into position, he reached out for the ball again, and Butler passed the ball over.
Facing Nowitzki's tight defense, and Marion's eager help defense next to him.
Wang Yan actually did something that no one expected!
That is, he perfectly replicated Nowitzki's one-legged stand.
Feint, turn, and lean back!
Act calmly!
Completed in one go, flowing like clouds and flowing water.
Although Nowitzki tried his best, he could only watch the ball and sigh.
Although the movements were the same, Wang Yan's amplitude was larger and the speed was faster.
His fadeaway shot was really made in mid-air, and Nowitzki’s hands were raised high, so they could only reach Wang Yan’s chest.
You know, Nowitzki is not a short guy, he is 2 meters tall.
But he couldn't defend against Wang Yan's "enhanced version of the Golden Rooster Stand" at all!
The home fans were so excited that Wang Yan actually used this one-legged stand in front of Nowitzki.
Use your special move to hit you!
This is too humiliating...
Nowitzki's face turned green.
If both sides fought each other using the Golden Rooster Stand, he could still bear it mentally.
But the current situation is that the driver cannot beat Wang Yan using the Golden Rooster Stand, but Wang Yan can use this move to beat him at will!
How is this still playing?
China's CCTV Sports Channel is also broadcasting the game live.
Mr. Zhang Weiping used to like Kobe the most, but now he has fallen in love with someone else.
Whenever there is a match of Wang Yan, he must go to the studio to commentate.
The same goes for Yang Jian and Yu Jia. They get extremely excited whenever they comment on Wang Yan's games.
"Haha! Nowitzki is embarrassed. Wang Yan didn't give him any chances on both offense and defense!"
Coach Zhang couldn't stop smiling.
Yang Jian also jumped up and waved his hands, actually imitating Wang Yan's movements.
"Coach Zhang, you're right. Wang Yan's learning ability is too strong. It reminds me of a great move in martial arts novels: give him a taste of his own medicine! It's amazing!"
Yu Jia echoed: "No wonder Wang Yan's games have such high ratings, this guy's playing style is so good to watch and very infuriating. Look, Nowitzki's face has changed!"
China's sports commentary style is generally very subtle.
But ever since Wang Yan suddenly appeared, several hosts and guests have become extremely excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood!
This is all the passion brought by Wang Yan and the charm of explosive basketball!
4: 0!
The Cavaliers took the lead at the start of the game, with Wang Yan scoring all the points.
Mavericks head coach Carlisle stood on the sidelines with his hands on his shoulders, his face gloomy.
He resisted the urge to call a timeout.
After all, the game has only started for less than a minute, and this is just a regular season game, so let's wait and see.
After Wang Yan scored the goal, he high-fived his teammates one by one and roared loudly.
The atmosphere in the entire home stadium reached its peak.
Mavericks offense.
As the leader of the team, Nowitzki has to cheer up even though he has been hit hard on both offense and defense.
"Brothers, hold on, and execute our tactics!"
Nowitzki shouted loudly, encouraging his teammates.
As a veteran, Kidd also roared with his Mavericks teammates to cheer everyone up.
After half court, Kidd did not pass the ball to Driver again, but waved to center Haywood to come out and set a pick-and-roll.
TT was substituted in front of Kidd, and Haywood quickly retreated to the paint area, wanting to use the big guy to bully Irving.
The most important reason why the Mavericks were able to win the championship last year was the explosion of all players.
Of course, Nowitzki deserves great credit, but it is also important for his teammates to dare to fight.
boom!
Relying on his height and strong physique, Haywood easily pushed Irving away and made a layup.
This is a very common tactic in basketball.
Just when the fans thought the Mavericks were finally going to score, a figure suddenly pounced from the other side.
Snapped!
Wang Yan is really everywhere!
He actually came from such a far distance, flew into the air, waved his long arms, and rewarded Haywood with another Wang's spicy hot pot!
This assisting defense capability is truly terrifying!
Howard, who has won two consecutive DPOY awards, has amazing defensive abilities.
The media said that one person made up the entire defense of the Magic team, and the entire area under the basket was a no-fly zone!
But Wang Yan's assist defense is even more terrifying than Howard's!
He was clearly near the left three-point line just now.
Nowitzki blocked Wang Yan tightly to prevent him from assisting in defense.
But just now, Nowitzki felt a flash before his eyes, the sound of wind passed by him, and Wang Yanren disappeared!
When he reacted and turned around, Wang Yan had already blocked Haywood's sure-shot goal...
Another big hot pot, almost exactly the same as the one I just gave to the driver!
Different from Howard the Beast.
In the Magic, although Howard is the defensive core, he is not the offensive core.
The core of the offense is "Agent" Turkoglu!
Howard's role on the offensive end is to rush for rebounds, take dunks when he has the chance, and occasionally play one-on-one, but his efficiency is not high.
But in the Cavaliers, Wang Yan is the offensive core!
How can we play this game when he has an offensive core and is everywhere on the defensive end!
This block once again ignited the Cavaliers' home court.
All the fans jumped up, screamed and cheered!
The huge sound waves were about to blow off the roof of the Quicken Loans Arena.
The Mavericks players were all stunned, their eyes were lifeless, and they were obviously panicking.
Head coach Carlisle had no choice but to call the first timeout even though the game had only been going on for about a minute.
Hearing the timeout whistle, the Mavericks players seemed relieved and walked to the sidelines.
Wang Yan and his teammates high-fived each other and yelled at each other.
Although Wang Yan was the one performing at the beginning, his interaction with his teammates was always there.
This is the ultimate performance of a team core. Not only did he play well, but his teammates were also driven to great excitement by him.
During the timeout, the staff handed over a towel, but Wang Yan refused.
Because he didn't even sweat!
No wonder, the intensity of the first minute was not as high as that of normal training.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
Mavericks head coach Carlisle still has something.
During the timeout, he gave the players a lot of encouragement.
After all, the Mavericks are the defending champions. Although they were stunned at the start, they recovered after a while and with Carlisle's encouragement. The Mavericks threw the ball from the sideline with 6.5 seconds left on the shot clock.
Nowitzki received the ball again.
Facing Wang Yan's one-on-one defense, Nowitzki didn't dare to play alone anymore. There was no way, Wang Yan's blocks were too fierce and everywhere.
So teammate Marion ran over to block Wang Yan and provide cover.
Nowitzki took advantage of his teammates' cover and did another one-legged stand!
The driver thought, this is a safe bet.
As long as Wang Yan is blocked, no one can stop me from standing on one leg!
Nowitzki has this confidence.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yan was clearly blocked by Marion, but he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, bang!
Another amazing hat trick!
Nowitzki was so angry that his teeth were about to break.
"Why is it you again?"
Wang Yan beat his chest and roared, shaking his finger at the same time.
It's as if to say, rain or shine, I'll always be there for you.
Less than 2 minutes into the game, there were 3 more blocks.
Blocking shots is so important to a team's morale that all the Cavaliers teammates on the court rushed over and bumped chests with Wang Yan to celebrate!
However, Wang Yan didn't dare to use too much strength. With his physical talent, he might knock his teammates away and get injured.
Carlisle's head was buzzing on the sidelines.
They had just called a timeout and finally managed to get the Mavericks players excited.
As a result, Wang Yan made another shocking hat trick!
Can you still have fun?
The Mavericks players were all depressed again.
The Mavericks had 0.8 seconds left on their shot clock.
There was not enough time, Marion just threw the ball randomly and the ball possession was changed.
Cavaliers attack.
Wang Yan had just scored repeatedly and was in good form, so his teammates wanted him to continue playing.
But Wang Yan knew that basketball is a team sport, so he signaled his teammates to cooperate tactically.
Butler and TT made a cross-counter run and scored another 2 points.
6: 0!
Carlisle wanted to call a timeout again, but he held back.
He stared at Wang Yan, feeling incredible.
Is this a first-year rookie?
Not only is his talent amazing, his basketball IQ is also so high.
In the last round, the Mavericks' attention was all on Wang Yan.
There were at least three players surrounding him.
As a result, Wang Yan stopped fighting and let his teammates fight.
Butler and TT were like walking into an empty space, scoring easily.
In this game, the Mavericks completely lost the style of defending champions.
In the next round, the Mavericks attacked.
Nowitzki also wanted to follow Wang Yan's example, attracting the Cavaliers' defense and letting his teammates play one.
However, the other Mavericks players were frightened by Wang Yan's block and were very hesitant in their shots.
Kidd shot a three-pointer, but it was way off target and hit the right edge of the basket and bounced high.
Haywood relied on his height and long arms to try to grab the offensive rebound.
But he felt a cool breeze behind him, bang!
Wang Yan actually protected the rebound ball above his head.
The Cavaliers teammates were very coordinated and all rushed across half court.
Wang Yan’s arm strength is amazing. He makes a long pass and whoosh!
The basketball accurately found Butler who rushed across half court.
After Butler received the ball, he only dribbled once and took a three-step shot, adding another 2 points!
Eighty percent of the credit for this goal should go to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan snatched away the rebound that Haywood almost got!
This can't be considered a rebound, it's already considered a robbery.
The commentator Reggie Miller on the sidelines joked: "Haywood should call the police. Wang Yan is not stealing the ball, he is robbing. Haha!"
Rain Man Kemp also laughed out loud. He admired Wang Yan's domineering rebound very much.
After more than 5 minutes of the first quarter, the score was 11:2.
The Mavericks got their 2 points from free throws.
We didn't score a single point in the mobile warfare.
Mavericks head coach Carlisle had no choice but to call a second timeout.
The entire Cavaliers home court fans cheered.
This ticket is worth buying!
The Cavaliers' ticket prices have increased to the highest level in the league.
This is the appeal that Wang Yan brings!
At the beginning of the season, the Lakers and Heat were the teams with the highest ticket prices in the league.
After all, Kobe and James are two superstars with a huge fan base.
But the Cavaliers led by Wang Yan were able to kill any obstacle that stood in their way!
Defeat all the strong teams.
Coupled with Wang Yan’s violent fighting style, it is pleasing to the eye.
So the Cavaliers' ticket prices keep rising.
It is said that on the black market, the Cavaliers' ticket prices have long surpassed those of the Lakers and the Heat.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Yan's generation of sneakers are so popular.
The commercial value is so great!
After the timeout, Cavaliers head coach Scott wanted to let Wang Yan rest for a while.
But Wang Yan waved his hand and refused, he wanted to play the whole first quarter!
The opponent is the defending champion, we cannot underestimate them.
Although the start was fantastic, this is the NBA and the points can be caught up quickly.
Often one wave of attack is enough to catch up with the score.
Besides, Wang Yan is in great shape today and has endless energy.
In the previous few games, he only clocked out at halftime or three quarters, which was really unsatisfying.
The Mavericks were unlucky today as they met the energetic Wang Yan.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Mavericks made a lineup adjustment, replacing Carter with Jason Terry.
Terry played extremely well in the finals throughout the year.
His three-point shot stunned the opponent.
Whenever the opponent was about to gain momentum, Terry's three-pointer would extinguish the opponent's firepower.
So Terry is equivalent to the best sixth man.
Carlisle hopes Terry can turn the passive situation around and close the score with three-pointers.
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
After Terry came on the court, he kept running and finally found an open space in the bottom corner.
Carlisle prayed silently in his heart: I must go in!
boom!
Just as Terry made his move, another figure appeared.
You know, in order to prevent Wang Yan from providing assisting defense, Marion and Haywood almost hugged Wang Yan.
The physical fitness of these two people is also top-notch.
Any strong player, even O'Neal, would find it difficult to break through the hold of these two people.
But Wang Yan rushed out from the struggle between the two men.
Snapped!
Another big hat!
The hot pot restaurant manager is online again!
The appearance of this block made the commentator discover a surprising situation.
"Wang Yan has already blocked all the players on the Mavericks team."
