第99章 踏上第12阶梯！季后赛首秀45＋25＋15！

Chapter 99

The Cavaliers achieved a record of 73 wins in the regular season, which is unprecedented!

There are many basketball legends and former superstars who come to Madison Square Garden in New York to watch the game.

The gang leader Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others gathered here.

Logically speaking, this is just a regular season game, the last one at that, and it has no impact on the playoff qualifications of the Cavaliers and the Knicks.

But there is only one reason why so many big names come to watch the game!
That is to witness history with my own eyes and see whether the Cavaliers can break the Bulls' regular season historical record!

Jordan had mixed feelings as he watched the game on the sidelines.

As the god of basketball, he has a very broad mind and hopes that Wang Yan can achieve his own outstanding achievements.

But as a Bulls legend, he also has his own little thoughts, which is that he doesn't want the record to be broken.

If you can break the 72-win record today, you may be able to break Jordan’s two three-peat records tomorrow!
With the talent shown by Wang Yan, everything is possible!
So Jordan felt his status was threatened.

However, Jordan's status was there after all, and after the game, he took the initiative to walk towards Wang Yan.

This made the media photographers very excited, and dozens of cameras followed.

Wang Yan was celebrating with his teammates and actually noticed the black braised egg.

It was Thompson who poked Wang Yan and told him, "Hey, look who's here?"

Wang Yan looked back and saw, wow!
Jordan is here!

Although Wang Yan's goal is to challenge Jordan's status in the future, he is still a rookie for now.

There is still proper etiquette.

He stretched out his big hand, shook it tightly with Jordan, and the two hugged each other.

Wang Yan sighed in his heart, Jordan's big hands were indeed a gift from God. With his height of 1 meters, his hands were only slightly smaller than his own!
Jordan also felt Wang Yan's strength.

"Congratulations, King, and congratulations, Knight. You have created new history!"

In response to Jordan's congratulations, Wang Yan was not too humble because this is the United States.

"Thank you, but your record Xia Feng is in danger!"

It was so unexpected that Wang Yan would say such outrageous words in front of so many reporters.

Jordan admired Wang Yan's arrogance. He patted Wang Yan's arm and praised him, "Good! My records are there. I look forward to you breaking them one by one!"

People may not know that this is the first moment of passing the baton. The future NBA will usher in a stronger superstar!

Other celebrities also came to congratulate him, and Wang Yan greeted them generously and expressed his gratitude.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was particularly fond of Wang Yan because after him, there were fewer and fewer big superstars.

The emergence of Wang Yan is almost twice as powerful as that of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and even more dominant than him!
Especially Wang Yan’s projection made him very pleased.

"Wang Yan, say hello to Yao Ming for me. It seems that the shooting skills of your Chinese players are so good. You have a promising future!"

"Mr. Skyhook, I'm trying to break your total scoring record. I hope you can bless me!"

Wang Yan mentioned the record again half-jokingly.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar laughed and said, "No problem. My record is just a record of years. With your explosive scoring this season, you will break my record sooner or later!"

The reporters heard the conversation between Wang Yan and the celebrities. They were not at all nervous and even issued a challenge!
What a natural genius!
As a first-year rookie, Wang Yan chatted and laughed with the big guys, which really made many players envious.

After all, strength speaks volumes. Wang Yan is confident enough, so he chats and laughs with the celebrities without any stage fright.

. . . .

After the game, the media praised the Cavaliers for breaking the record.

ESPN: "Wang Yan led his team to break the regular season record in his first year in the NBA. What is his limit?"

Sports Illustrated: "Jordan witnessed the Bulls' record being broken, with a complicated expression!"

There was also a picture attached, showing Jordan watching the game on the sidelines.

In fact, this is taken out of context. Jordan spent most of his time on the sidelines cheering for the Cavaliers.

Yahoo Sports: "Regular season record broken, will the Cavaliers make trouble in the playoffs?"

When Wang Yan returned to the hotel, he took a shower and was about to have a good sleep.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching the 12th step...]

Wang Yan woke up immediately and jumped out of bed.

"Haha, system, you're finally here. I've already broken the record, why don't you give me a great reward!"

[Host receives reward: Peak Kyrie Irving's golden left-handed dribble! ]

"I'll do it!"

Wang Yan shouted excitedly, it feels so good!
During the game, he clearly felt that his left-handed dribbling was not as proficient as his right-handed one.

This is normal, after all, top technical masters have a non-dominant hand, and are not necessarily as skilled as their right hand.

Among these stars, only Kyrie Irving's two-handed dribbling is the best, there is almost no difference, they are all very strong!
For a 2-meter-tall player to have Irving's dribbling ability, that's really terrifying.

Irving's weak-side hand, that is, his left-handed dribbling, can be said to be at the best level in history.

A videographer once edited Irving's breakthroughs and found that he did it almost the same number of times from the left and right sides, and there was no difference between his dribbling and layup movements.

The only one who can do this is Irving.

In the past, every time Wang Yan received a system reward, he would just get excited and dance with joy.

And today, Wang Yan couldn't help but want to give it a try.

So he put on his jersey, put on a mask, and quietly came to the hotel's gym in the middle of the night and practiced dribbling for half an hour.

It’s really cool!

The left hand and right hand switch seamlessly, there is no difference at all!
Half an hour later, Wang Yan hummed a little tune and went back to sleep contentedly.

"Left hand, right hand, slow motion! Right hand, left hand, slow motion replay..."

The regular season ended and the sixteen playoff teams in the East and West emerged.

The top eight teams in the West are: Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, Thunder, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Hornets (Pelicans).

The top eight teams in the East are: Cavaliers, Bulls, Heat, Celtics, Pacers, Hawks, Magic, and 76ers.

The Knicks were in a bit of a miserable situation. They were originally ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, but they lost to the Cavaliers, became a background board, and were squeezed out of the playoff team by the 76ers.

In this case, the Cavaliers' first-round playoff opponent will be the 76ers.

Although the 76ers did not pose any threat to the Cavaliers in the regular season, the team is still actively preparing for the game.

At the same time, various data of the regular season are also summarized.

Wang Yan’s data is too terrifying.

Not only did he win the scoring title, he also won the rebounding title, steals title and blocks title!
38.6 points!
13.7 rebounds!
3.4 steals!
4.1 blocks!
This is the first time in history that four statistical titles have been won in a single season.

Another record that is hard to break!

Wang Yan is simply an honor harvester, taking all the honors in his arms!
Irving also gained something this season, which was becoming the assist king.

Average of 11.6 assists per game!
Of course, some fans said that Irving's assists were all from Wang Yan. But this is not important, it shows that the Cavaliers' tactics are very successful and the cooperation is more tacit!

. . . .

Before the playoffs arrived, media experts began making various predictions.

Many experts believe that Wang Yan is only a regular season star and will be given special attention in the playoffs and will not be able to perform at his regular season level.

Of course, these words reached Wang Yan's ears.

At the pre-match press conference, Wang Yan answered reporters' questions.

"The 76ers are very strong and we respect them! But there is only one outcome of the game, and that is the Cavaliers must win!"

Wang Yan’s answer aroused warm applause from reporters!
In fact, what those experts said is not entirely wrong. Some stars are indeed regular season stars.

They were invincible in the regular season, but their true colors were revealed in the playoffs.

Wang Yan didn't want to say much, he wanted to prove with actions whether he was a regular season star!
Besides, this is only the first round of the playoffs, so there is no need for any big words.

7:30 p.m.

Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland.

The playoffs are finally here for Cavaliers fans!

Fans in the entire stadium all wore the same dark red T-shirts, uniform and full of momentum!
When Wang Yan was the last one to appear on stage, the whole audience cheered and applauded.

The fans are welcoming their city hero and hope that Wang Yan can lead the Cavaliers to bring a miracle!
The 76ers' starting lineup is center Hawes, power forward Brand, small forward Iguodala, shooting guard Holiday, and point guard Meeks.

Since Iverson retired, Iguodala, as his younger brother, has become the team's star player.

Although Yige has top-notch physical talents and good skills, his overall ability is still a little lacking.

Being able to lead the team to barely make the playoffs this season is already his peak.

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

Because the Cavaliers adopted a rest strategy before the playoffs, the main players were all energetic and their physical skills were adjusted to the best condition!
Jump ball in the center circle, Wang Yan and Hoyes stood together.

As a white player, Hawes knew he was no match for his opponent, so he just jumped symbolically, which was equivalent to giving up the jump ball.

Wang Yan passed the ball accurately to Irving.

The 76ers also wanted to disrupt Wang Yan's aerial relay.

So Hawes and Brand attacked from both sides, squeezing Wang Yan in the middle and preventing him from moving.

Owen was not in a hurry either, he knew Wang Yan would find a way to get rid of it.

All the Cavaliers home fans stood up, waiting for Wang Yan's amazing dunk!
The fans won't sit down if they don't see this dunk.

Wang Yan certainly won't disappoint the home fans.

I saw him suddenly lower his body, move his center of gravity downward, and then rush towards the penalty area.

This move is a bit like a quarterback's move, and it's extremely powerful!
Although Hawes and Brand tried their best to attack Wang Yan, Wang Yan's strong body was like a tank and broke through the two of them!
Irving saw the opportunity and immediately threw the ball into the air.

coming!

The flash is coming!
boom!
Wang Yan jumped high, grabbed the ball with both hands, did a 360-degree turn in the air, and slammed it!

The cheers from the Cavaliers' home court were deafening!
Wang Yan didn't let the Cavaliers fans stand for too long, and immediately gave a stunning slam dunk, satisfying the fans' expectations!

The entire 76ers team was stunned.

During the pre-match training, they practiced Wang Yan's opening alley-oop for a long time.

He vowed to destroy Wang Yan's plan.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan still completed the alley-oop easily, which ignited the whole audience!
After scoring the goal, Wang Yan landed gracefully and high-fived his teammates one by one, which greatly boosted the morale of the entire team.

The 76ers suffered a heavy blow and their morale quickly dropped.

76ers head coach Collins was so angry that he kept shaking his head, but there was nothing he could do. He had watched a lot of Wang Yan's game videos and had some understanding of Wang Yan's physical strength.

But despite having made sufficient preparations, Wang Yan still dunked on us at the start, and I felt really powerless.

The 76ers attack.

Holiday dribbled across half court and passed the ball to Iguodala.

Iguodala's position is far away from Wang Yan.

It seems that the 76ers are indeed fully prepared and must stay away from the King of Hell on the offensive end!

This tactic was successful and helped them escape from Wang Yan's defense area.

But Iguodala's shot still missed under Jamison's defense.

Wang Yan once again grabbed the rebound despite being blocked by the opponent's two defensive inside players.

This time Wang Yan did not pass the ball, but started his one-on-one breakthrough performance.

Head coach Scott frowned slightly.

Although he recognized Wang Yan's ability, Wang Yan would usually pass the ball when switching offense.

Wang's biography is also well-known in the world!
But today, Wang Yan was a little too arrogant.

How could he know that Wang Yan had just received a reward from the system, Irving's golden left-handed dribbling, and he was eager to try out the effect.

The 76ers players were not happy with this.

It’s so bullying!

You are tall and can jump high, so you can call the shots in the paint.

Still want a one-stop breakthrough throughout the game?

Is that what you should do?

So the 76ers players all tried to steal the ball from Wang Yan.

The 76ers players have strong stealing abilities. Iguodala and Holiday are both good defenders and masters of stealing!
Especially Iguodala, I don’t know how many players were frustrated by his cutting the ball.

But today, Wang Yan showed them what the real top dribbling skills are!
bang bang bang...

Wang Yan skillfully switched between his left and right hands, making Iguodala and Holiday run around in circles.

The two men tried to block left and right, but they couldn't stop Wang Yan from breaking through with the ball!
Owen was also stunned watching from the side.

"This dribbling skill... is almost the same as mine!"

Owen became even more convinced of Wang Yan.

Wang Yan passed Iguodala and Holiday, rushed into the penalty area, and dunked!

Less than a minute into the game, Wang Yan scored 1 points and 4 rebound, shocking the entire audience!

Iguodala was really dumbfounded.

The entire 76ers team studied Wang Yan’s game videos, but they didn’t realize that Wang Yan’s dribbling skills were so amazing!

Wang Yan was secretly happy, he really liked this skill.

The following game became entirely Wang Yan’s personal show.

In the end, at the end of the first playoff game, the Cavaliers actually created a 40+ point difference and defeated the 76ers!
In his playoff debut, Wang Yan scored 45 points, 25 rebounds and 15 blocks!
Simply astonishing!
Iguodala was completely stunned, and Wang Yan also set the highest scoring, rebounding and blocking records in his NBA playoff debut!
