Chapter 98: Break the Bulls' historical record of 72 wins in one fell swoop!
Chapter 98

Old fans who are familiar with Garnett know that beating his chest and roaring is Garnett's unique way of celebrating.

Every time he makes a dunk or blocks a block, he puts on a show.

He beat his chest, roared, and when he was most excited, he would do a few push-ups.

During his time as the Wolf King, Garnett did attract countless fans.

After joining the Celtics, Garnett was already quite old and should have been more mentally mature.

But he still goes his own way.

Wang Yan had no problem with Garnett personally, but was a little disgusted by the way he celebrated.

So after dunking on Garnett at the beginning of the game, he celebrated in his own way towards Garnett.

Garnett was very embarrassed and walked away silently with his head down.

The fans at the scene couldn't help but laugh secretly. After all, this was the Celtics' home court and they couldn't laugh out loud.

Commentators Barkley and Smith also laughed out loud.

"Wang Yan is really good! He actually did those moves to Garnett, haha!"

"You can imagine Garnett's current mental state, haha!"

. . . .

2:0
The Cavaliers took the lead early in the game, and the Celtics had to give one back.

Garnett waved to his teammates, indicating that he wanted to fight Wang Yan.

This is the backbone of an old-school star. He will never back down and must beat you!

Rondo advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, saw Garnett ready near the penalty area, and immediately passed the ball to him.

Wang Yan signaled his teammates to move aside so that he could defend Garnett alone.

After Garnett received the ball, he shook his shoulders and took advantage of the moment when Wang Yan was defending to turn around and shoot.

This is his unique skill, no one can defend against it.

There is no way. Although Garnett often plays the power forward position, he is 2 meters tall and has excellent jumping ability.

Even taller than the centers of many teams.

Therefore, almost no one can defend his turn-around mid-range shot, and whether it goes in or not depends on his own feel.

Wang Yan was secretly shocked. The Wolf King was indeed powerful. This turn was too difficult to defend against.

But Wang Yan's bullet speed was still too fast.

The moment he turned around, Wang Yan also jumped up.

If it were any other player, he would have been blocked by Wang Yan.

But Garnett's shooting method was very special. He raised his right hand very high, and Wang Yan couldn't reach it.

In the end, it was his fingertips that lightly brushed the basketball.

A slight sound, hiss!
It was this moment that changed the trajectory of the basketball.

Boom!
The basketball hit the hoop and bounced out.

As soon as Wang Yan's feet touched the ground, he bounced up again and protected the rebound!
so horrible!

Wang Yan's ability of continuous jumping is the best in the entire league.

Garnett was also scared. He was about to grab the rebound, but as soon as he bent his legs and before he jumped, Wang Yan was already in the air!
After grabbing the rebound, Wang Yan saw Irving and Butler had already rushed to the center line.

Wang Yan was not greedy for credit, and immediately made a long pass, whoosh!
The long pass was accurate and fast, and it went right over Butler's head.

After Butler received the ball, he quickly rushed to the penalty area.

Even though Ray Allen was chasing closely behind him, Wang Yan's pass plus Butler's impact meant that he was always a little short of the mark, and he could only watch Butler score on a fast break!
4: 0!

In this offense and defense, Wang Yan completely dominated the court and helped the Cavaliers take the lead.

Celtics head coach Rivers was sitting there quietly just now, looking like he was sure of winning.

But less than a minute into the game, the team was beaten like this. Rivers couldn't sit still.

He waved his fists and yelled on the sidelines: "Didn't you eat yet? Guard Wang Yan to death!"

Garnett didn't say anything, but cursed in his heart: Why don't you try? Can Wang Yan defend it?

After more than five minutes of the first quarter, the score between the two teams was 5:13, with the Cavaliers leading by eight points.

The Celtics only relied on Ray Allen and Pierce to score 5 points, and the other players did nothing.

Especially in the inside, they were suppressed by Wang Yan and had no chance at all.

Enter the official suspension.

The Celtics players all walked to the sidelines dejectedly, while the Cavaliers players were chatting and laughing, high-fiving each other, and full of confidence.

At least from these few minutes, the Celtics have little chance.

However, the Celtics are a tenacious team after all, and the old Big Three have fought many tough battles.

So while Wang Yan encouraged his teammates, he also told everyone not to underestimate the enemy.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

As a championship coach, Celtics head coach Rivers still has some qualities.

What he is best at is chicken soup.

Encouraged by Rivers, the Celtics players regained their morale and took to the court.

What surprised the Green Army was that Wang Yan actually sat down to rest.

Rivers was also confused.

He had made all the arrangements and was ready to start taking action against Wang Yan by making some small moves.

So he didn’t go?

In fact, this was the result of discussion between Wang Yan and head coach Scott.

The playoffs are approaching, and Wang Yan, the substitute at the No. 4 position, has not had many opportunities to train.

Although Wang Yan is a devilish muscular man who is very durable and will not get injured, his performance in the playoffs is hard to predict.

If a player gets into foul trouble or gets into a conflict and is sent off, a substitute will need to step up and fill in for a while.

So after the team took the lead, Wang Yan let substitute Jawad Williams come on the court.

Williams is a third-year player with average talent and skills, but he works hard.

During training, he executed the tactics seriously and received praise from his coaches and teammates.

The Celtics took advantage of Wang Yan's absence and started to chase points.

Although Williams worked very hard, his talent was far behind Wang Yan.

Slowly, the score was caught up.

But Scott did not replace Wang Yan immediately.

Because Williams also needs time to train.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 31:27, and the Celtics temporarily took the lead.

Without Wang Yan, the Celtics players breathed a sigh of relief and played the offensive style they were best at.

However, the entire Celtics team was not very happy, because as long as Wang Yan appeared on the court again, no one on the Celtics could defend him.

The second quarter started and Wang Yan appeared on the court again.

Just as Wang Yan took off his coat and stood up, the home fans of North Shore Garden fell silent.

Many home fans showed expressions of horror!

There is no way, the pressure Wang Yan brings to his opponents is too strong.

Wang Yan played for more than 9 minutes in the second quarter and reversed the score again.

When he left the court, the score was 57:50 and the Cavaliers were leading again.

Wang Yan only played for 15 minutes in the first half, but scored 21 points and grabbed 7 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds.

He also had 5 assists and 3 blocks.

It's all over the place!

Wang Yan is simply everywhere.

The entire Celtics team now felt uncomfortable when they saw Wang Yan.

During the halftime break, Wang Yan saw that Williams was a little discouraged.

Because his plus-minus is very low, -16.
As Wang Yan's substitute, he is under a lot of pressure.

Wang Yan noticed the change in Williams' demeanor in the locker room. Williams, who had always been sunny and cheerful, had become depressed.

So Wang Yan walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Don't be discouraged, you need time to train. The reason why you didn't play much this season is because of me."

Williams was flattered, because Wang Yan is now a top star in the league.

"No, no...I didn't play well."

Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "You didn't play out what you learned in training, which shows that you are inexperienced and a little nervous. You will start in the third quarter and play well!"

"what?"

Williams was shocked.

He knew the importance of this game.

That is related to whether the team can break the regular season record of 72 wins.

Wang Yan actually let him start?
This is too much of a disregard for the Celtics...

The second half of the game began.

Just when the Celtics' main players re-emerged with great momentum, they discovered that Wang Yan was missing again!
WTF?

Rivers looked left and right, and finally found that Wang Yan was sitting leisurely on the bench with a Gatorade in his hand.

What are you doing?

Look down on us?
In fact, this is just a regular season game.

Although in the pre-match interviews, the entire Celtics team expressed their confidence in winning and put on a desperate posture.

But losing to the Cavaliers is still acceptable.

After all, the Cavaliers are number one in the league, and it is not shameful to lose to them.

But Wang Yan’s action was too humiliating.

You don't play, but let the substitutes come up, and then if they fall behind, you come on and make a comeback?

What the hell?

Treat us as toys!
After Williams came on the court in the third quarter, his condition was obviously much better than in the first half. Wang Yan's comfort and encouragement made him less nervous.

Although the Celtics wanted to take advantage of Wang Yan's absence to overtake the score again.

But with the efforts of the whole team, the Cavaliers withstood the Celtics' fierce bombardment.

After more than 8 minutes of the third quarter, the two teams were tied.

This is equivalent to both sides returning to the same starting line.

Rivers' face turned livid.

So the Celtics can't beat the Cavaliers without Wang Yan?
Williams only scored 2 points in the first half, but in the third quarter, he scored 11 points.

This is a very good result for a player who has been on the bench for a long time.

Wang Yan once again turned into a cheerleader on the sidelines, waving her towel desperately to cheer for her teammates.

The Celtics called a timeout, Williams walked to the sidelines, and Wang Yan was the first to rush over, high-fiving Williams and bumping chests with him!
"Great job! You're awesome!"

Wang Yan kept encouraging him.

Scott was watching from the side, feeling really ashamed of himself.

In fact, Wang Yan has already done a lot of coaching work.

Now the whole team has a strong cohesion, and it’s all thanks to Wang Yan!

Not only on the court, but also in training and life, Wang Yan also unites his teammates into one team and pulls them together!

After the timeout, the game continues.

Wang Yan is on the scene again.

The Celtics' main players were exhausted because they had played too fiercely just now.

After Wang Yan came on the court, he went on a killing spree against the Celtics' substitutes!
He played until the 6th minute of the fourth quarter.

As a result, the score was 97:81, with the Cavaliers leading by 16 points.

Wang Yan scored another 18 points in the second half.

Including the 21 points in the first half, Wang Yan scored 39 points in the whole game.

Wang Yan did not try hard to score 40 points, but went straight off the court to rest.

The entire Celtics team has lost their fighting spirit. Wang Yan’s dominance is too strong and there is no way they can play!
In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Celtics 108:95 on the road.

72 wins achieved!
At the moment the game ended, some Celtics fans actually stood up and applauded, congratulating the Cavaliers.

Wang Yan and his teammates also hugged each other excitedly.

It's not easy!
Now we have tied the record set by the Bulls. As long as we beat the Knicks in the next game, we can make history!

The media praised the Cavaliers after the game.

Originally, most media predicted that this would be a evenly matched game and that the Cavaliers would have a hard time.

But Wang Yan's magical operation turned this match into a game.

Hey, I came up, hey, I went down again!

They simply don't treat the Celtics as human beings!
ESPN: "The Cavaliers beat the Celtics easily, Wang Yan easily scored 39 points!"

Sports Illustrated: "Wang Yan's amazing performance broke the regular playing time, led the team to victory, and tied the Bulls' 72-win record!"

Yahoo Sports: "No one can stop Wang Yan's footsteps, and history is about to be made!"

. . . .

The Cavaliers came to New York again, ready to face the Knicks.

The Knicks are actually doing pretty well this season, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference and should be a sure bet for the playoffs.

But no one would believe that they could stop the Cavaliers.

In the pre-match interview, Wang Yan did not speak arrogantly, but said calmly: "I still say that the regular season is a mission accomplished for us. As for the record, the entire Cavaliers team is working hard!"

The media highly praised Wang Yan's maturity. If another rookie player achieved such an impressive achievement, he would probably be very proud of it.

The entire Knicks team also expressed their determination to stop the Cavaliers when interviewed.

Madison Square Garden is an amazing place.

Unlike the Celtics, the Knicks are a reverse indicator, where superstars often score high.

The media didn't believe that the Knicks could withstand the powerful Cavaliers.

Experts are predicting how many points Wang Yan will score and how many points the Knicks will lose.

The next evening at seven o'clock.

Madison Square Garden in New York.

The Cavaliers challenge the Knicks away.

The Knicks' starting lineup is very strong, with Anthony, Stoudemire, Billups, Fields, and Gallinari.

If this lineup is all at its peak, then they can challenge for the championship.

However, Anthony, Stoudemire and Billups have all passed their prime and their strength has declined significantly.

After the first quarter between the two teams, the Cavaliers led by 8 points.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was 59:45, with the Cavaliers leading by 14 points.

Wang Yan once again shortened his playing time, playing for just over 9 minutes in total.

In the third quarter, Wang Yan once again let Williams replace him.

Although Williams was badly beaten by Stoudemire, he was tenacious and persevered.

After the third quarter, the Knicks actually overtook by 2 points again.

Wang Yan appeared again in the fourth quarter, ready to end the game!
The entire Knicks team was quickly defeated under the suppression of Wang Yan.

In the end, Wang Yan scored 23 points in the fourth quarter and led the team to defeat the Knicks.

Under Wang Yan's defense, the Knicks team only scored a pitiful 11 ​​points in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Knicks 106:92.

In this way, the Cavaliers broke the Bulls' record of 1995 wins and 1996 losses in the 72-10 season!

playing field.

The entire Cavaliers team started celebrating wildly.

His teammates lifted Wang Yan up and threw him into the air.

The black people carrying the coffin are attacking again!
