Chapter 89 vs Leonard, the person who can limit Wang Yan has not yet been born!
After discussions among several guests, the competition attracted more attention.

Almost all fans are looking forward to the collision of Mars and the Earth!
Especially in China's basketball forums, Wang Yan's fans and the Spurs' fans are arguing fiercely.

Of course, Wang Yan has the most fans, because many of Yao Ming’s former fans have switched to Wang Yan.

However, people who are familiar with Chinese football fans know that no matter how popular you are, there will always be people who criticize you.

As many people love you as there are people who hate you!

Wang Yan’s black fans suddenly transformed themselves into Spurs fans or Duncan fans.

They attacked Wang Yan crazily in the forum, believing that Wang Yan would be exposed by Duncan.

It’s strange to think about it, there is a group of people like this who just like to attack their own country’s players.

"Duncan is already recognized as the best power forward in history. Wang Yan will be beaten to death by the Stone Buddha!"

"Wang Yan only bullies those fake stars. When he meets a real superstar, his true colors will be revealed. Just wait and see!"

"Is he from China? He's just a Han Chinese. Why doesn't he come back to play in the CBA?"

……

Of course, Wang Yan has more fans, and they have also severely blocked these messy remarks.

"It's only Wang Yan's first year in the NBA, but his performance has surpassed Duncan. He will definitely not be worse than Duncan in the future!"

"Why are you bashing Wang Yan? After Yao Ming, we finally have a superstar embryo. We should cherish him. Whoever criticizes him, I will criticize him too!"

……

Wang Yan and his teammates returned to Cleveland for closed training!
It was such an important game that the media was crazy about interviewing players from both sides.

But the Cavaliers and Spurs were in sync and both declined the interview.

This shows that both sides attach great importance to this game and will definitely go all out.

7:30 p.m.

Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers will face the Spurs, ranked first in the Western Conference, at home!

Currently, the Cavaliers have three and a half wins more than the Spurs.

The first in the East versus the first in the West.

So this game is likely to be an early preview of this year's finals.

Many celebrities came to watch the game, and it was a grand occasion!
For example, Halle Berry was born in Cleveland and is known as the Black Pearl of Hollywood.

There are also Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Logo Man West, Shaquille O'Neal, and Admiral Robinson!
Liu Yifei also came to the scene. Her ticket was given to her by Wang Yan. Her seat was also good, very close to the bench, just behind Wang Yan.

Before the game started, the cameraman gave the camera to these celebrities.

The audience was very excited, this game was comparable to the All-Star Game!

Wang Yan and Duncan became the focus of the court.

The Spurs' starting lineup: center Split, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Kawhi Leonard, shooting guard Richard Jefferson, point guard Tony Parker.

Seeing that the Spurs' main lineup was all there, Wang Yan finally felt relieved.

Because Parker suffered a minor injury in the last game, there are reports that he may not be able to play in the next game.

Wang Yan doesn't want to be accused of an unfair victory after winning against the Spurs.

The Cavaliers' starting five is still center TT, power forward Wang Yan, small forward Jamison, shooting guard Butler, and point guard Irving.

Jump ball in the center circle.

Wang Yan and Split stood in the center circle.

After Duncan suffered a serious injury to plantar fasciitis, his jumping ability dropped significantly, so he rarely participated in jump balls.

However, what is strange is that Split also gave up the jump ball.

The referee threw the ball high up, and Split turned his head and went straight to defend.

Wang Yan easily passed the ball to Butler, and then rushed towards the opponent's penalty area.

Everyone knew that Wang Yan would do an alley-oop dunk at the start of the game to ignite the atmosphere of the entire stadium.

All the Cavaliers home fans stood up, waiting for Wang Yan's move.

Popovich is called Zhuge Vic, and he is indeed something.

Of course he knew about Wang Yan's opening show, so he made full preparations for the Spurs and was determined to stop Wang Yan!

If Wang Yan's alley-oop slam dunk could be disrupted at the beginning of the game, it would be a major blow to the morale of the entire Cavaliers team.

And the Spurs players will definitely have more confidence!

Just as Wang Yan rushed towards the opponent's penalty area, Duncan, Split and Leonard blocked Wang Yan!

Good guy!
This is really an all-out effort!
The Spurs' intention was clear. The Cavaliers could score, but Wang Yan was determined not to!

All the home fans were worried about Wang Yan.

With these three people blocking the ball, no one could score, so they could only pass the ball and let their teammates score.

But Wang Yan just refused to believe it!

"Three people want to stop me? You are dreaming!"

Wang Yan made a gesture to Butler, and Butler understood.

The fans were very excited to see the alley-oop slam dunk at the beginning of the game, and they thought it was easy for Wang Yan. In fact, Wang Yan and his teammates put in a lot of effort in training.

Because when your opponent doesn't know, it's not difficult for you to make a move.

There aren't too many players in the league who can do that.

But it's very difficult to do that after multiple games.

They are all top players with extraordinary talents, how could they allow you to show off in every game?

During training, Wang Yan and his teammates designed multiple alley-oop dunk tactics to deal with various obstructions.

Facing the three-man defense today, Wang Yan played a little cooperation with Butler.

Butler held the ball, pretended to break through, changed direction continuously to shake off Jefferson, and headed to the right side of the basket.

Duncan and Split's attention was drawn to Butler.

The two believed that Wang Yan would not participate in the attack.

So Duncan moved quickly and rushed to the basket to help defend.

Although Duncan's jumping ability has weakened a lot after the serious injury, his assist defense is first-class in the league, fast and stable.

The Spurs were able to achieve the best record in the Western Conference, and Duncan's defense is still the cornerstone of the team!
Split was still trying to stop Wang Yan, but his attention had been diverted by Butler.

Leonard stood beside Wang Yan, with his hands raised high, preventing Wang Yan from catching the ball.

Just when Butler reached the end line, Wang Yan suddenly started.

bass!
Wang Yan's figure flashed and he actually rushed past Split.

Although Leonard was prepared and used his body to hit Wang Yan, the weight difference between the two was still too great.

Besides, Wang Yan is faster than the guards, and Leonard has actually lost his position.

Butler didn't even raise his head, they were so in sync.

Whoosh!
Butler threw the ball high toward the basket, just out of reach of Duncan's hands.

Wang Yan jumped into the air, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and slammed it hard into the basket!
boom!
Blast!

The home fans were finally happy.

They just thought they wouldn’t be able to see this scene today!
Everyone cheered immediately!
……

Popovich watched from the sidelines, shaking his head in anger.

He made sufficient preparations for Wang Yan's opening show during the pre-match training, but unexpectedly, he still couldn't stop him!

After Wang Yan’s dunk, he did not let go immediately, but grabbed the basket with both hands and roared loudly!

The photographer on the sidelines accurately captured this wonderful shot.

After today's game, the headlines of major media outlets will definitely be the photo of Wang Yan's dunk!

2:0
The Cavaliers took the lead.

Duncan has a very high basketball IQ, but he was still fooled just now.

He turned and looked at Wang Yan, his eyes full of shock.

Duncan, who is called the Stone Buddha by Chinese fans, never shows his emotions on the court.

As soon as the game started today, Wang Yan surprised Duncan, which shows that Wang Yan's dunk really exceeded his expectations!

The Spurs attack.

Parker dribbled the ball across half court and Duncan came up to provide screen.

This is the classic style of play of the Spurs. After Duncan got older, the Spurs' offensive focus shifted to Parker.

Parker's speed, mid-range shot, and gyroscope spin are all offensive weapons.

Duncan blocked Irving and let Parker rush to the penalty area, where he was defended by Wang Yan.

Obviously, this is to let Parker play against a bigger opponent and use speed to fool Wang Yan.

Parker's speed is top-notch among guards. In theory, it should be easy for him to beat a big guy who is over 2 meters tall.

Unfortunately, the person he met was Wang Yan.

Just as Parker accelerated, then stopped abruptly and prepared to attack, Wang Yan moved quickly, stretched out his right arm, and snapped!
so horrible!

For someone so tall, he was able to perform an emergency stop and block the shot in one go.

This ankle is made of iron...

Parker felt a black screen before his eyes and the ball was gone.

Wang Yan blocked Parker without even having to fan him away.

It was a direct cap.

The ball was confiscated!
After confiscating the ball, Wang Yan passed it to Irving on the right.

Then Wang Yan strode forward and crossed half the court.

The offense and defense transition was so fast that only Leonard from the Spurs reacted and caught up.

Unfortunately, his speed was much slower than Wang Yan's.

Wang Yan took five big steps and rushed into the opponent's penalty area.

Irving originally wanted to make the layup himself because he was more than two meters ahead of Wang Yan when he received the ball.

But in the blink of an eye, Wang Yan surpassed Owen.

Irving simply threw a high ball to Wang Yan again, an aerial relay 2.0!

Wang Yan jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand, and slammed it into the basket again!

This attack and defense perfectly demonstrated Wang Yan's strength.

Although Popovich made careful preparations and asked Leonard to defend Wang Yan, Duncan was old and his steps were slow.

Unfortunately, Leonard couldn't keep up with Wang Yan's speed.

A small forward is actually not as fast as a big forward.

It’s incredible!
beep!
The referee whistle blows.

He actually blew a 2+1.
Because just when Wang Yan started to run, Leonard wanted to grab Wang Yan's arm.

In fact, although Leonard is very strong in defense, his movements are not dirty.

His death coil always steals the opponent's ball cleanly.

Just now, Leonard actually wanted to steal the ball from Wang Yan's hands.

Unfortunately, Wang Yan’s power is too great.

If you replay the slow-motion footage, you can see that the moment Wang Yan grabbed the basketball, his fingers were already stuck in the basketball.

A basketball of poor quality might be crushed if squeezed like this by him!

So Leonard tried hard to steal the ball, but he couldn't do it.

Instead, the referee called a foul.

The Cavaliers teammates were overjoyed and rushed over to high-five Wang Yan to celebrate.

The morale of the whole team was boosted!

Wang Yan also did some fitness exercises to show his strong physique.

Swish!
Extra penalty hit.

5: 0!

Less than 40 seconds into the game, the Cavaliers scored two goals.

Popovich was a little panicked.

He had prepared so many countermeasures, but it seemed that none of them were useful.

Wang Yan's unreasonable style of play completely disrupted the Spurs' tactical arrangements.

The Spurs attacked again.

This time Parker did not attack first, he passed the ball to Duncan.

If Duncan is allowed to attack right from the start, it means the Spurs are at their most dangerous moment.

Because it's like this every playoffs. When the Spurs team encounters difficulties, no one else can score, and old Duncan can only score one ball at a time.

Duncan received the ball near the paint area and faced Wang Yan's defense, he kept crashing into him.

To be honest, Duncan is really strong, especially his lower body strength, which is very powerful.

No wonder he was able to compete with O'Neal in the interior back then!

Duncan is not only strong enough, but his technical movements are also very practical and efficient, with a sense of simplicity and ingenuity.

You know, Duncan has a nickname in the Americans, called "Big Basic Skills"!
What this means is that his technical moves are very comprehensive and practical, and he never does anything fancy.

Although Wang Yan's jumping talent is far superior to Duncan's current one, the two are equally matched in terms of strength.

Duncan pushed Wang Yan forward and moved towards the basket little by little.

Wang Yan really didn't have many options.

Duncan came to the 45-degree angle, suddenly stood up and threw the ball out.

The timing of the attack was so sudden that Wang Yan didn't even have time to react.

However, Wang Yan was also very fast. Even though he couldn't block the ball, he still jumped with all his might.

This is Duncan's unique skill, shooting the ball at a 45-degree angle!

Logically speaking, this was a goal that Duncan was sure to score.

However, Wang Yan's defensive threat was still too great.

Duncan hit the cricket with so much force that it bounced out.

Popovich was so angry that he shook his head again.

Duncan himself was also very annoyed and slapped his head hard with his right hand.

boom!
Wang Yan jumped high again and grabbed the rebound.

Originally, Wang Yan wanted to pass the ball long to his teammates so that they could attack.

But he saw Leonard standing in front of him with his arms outstretched.

Wang Yan's competitive spirit came up.

Everyone says that Leonard's Death Coil is powerful, so Wang Yan wants to give it a try.

So Wang Yan didn't pass the ball and started dribbling.

Leonard's eyes lit up. His mission today was to disrupt Wang Yan's dribbling!

This is the task Popovich gave him.

bass!
Leonard slid his right foot and reached out quickly with his long arms.

Wang Yan was shocked.

Leonard's death coil was indeed powerful, and Wang Yan's ball was actually knocked away by him.

Fortunately, Wang Yan reacted faster. Although the ball fell, Wang Yan grabbed the ball back before Leonard controlled it!
Bravo!

Two future superstars compete with each other, one attacking and one defending, so exciting!

Leonard was unwilling to let the ball be taken away, so he once again used extreme defensive moves.

His body pressed tightly against Wang Yan's lower body, and then he used his long arms and big hands to grab the ball again.

Wang Yan was confused by Leonard, but Wang Yan turned his back and started the back attack directly.

Death Coil vs. Turning Jump Hook!

Wang Yan scored easily by taking advantage of his height.

Swish!
After all, Wang Yan is more skilled.

The commentator on the sidelines couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that Leonard is not the answer to restricting Wang Yan!"

"Yes! In other words, the answer to restricting Wang Yan has not yet been born!"
