Chapter 213: The Flash shows off his power and fights until the last moment
During the half-time break, the commentator on the sidelines expressed his appreciation for the game.
"As expected of the Heat who won two games against the Cavaliers, they are playing even more aggressively this season. If it weren't for Wang Yan's efforts, the Heat would definitely be ahead!"
"Indeed, Bosh was too strong today and brought out the strongest Wang Yan. But I believe Spoelstra will make adjustments in the second half and the Heat will take the lead again!"
"I see that in the Eastern Conference Finals of the playoffs, it will still be these two teams. It's hard to say who will win by then!"
"Now the two teams have similar regular season records, with the Cavaliers only leading by one game. I think whichever team has the home-court advantage in the regular season will win in the playoffs!"
As expected, at the start of the second half, the Heat's offensive tactics changed again.
Spoelstra should be the coach with the most tactical experience since 2010.
Coaches like Scott, Phil Jackson, and Popovich really can't do well without superstars.
And Spoelstra always manages to turn decay into magic.
Of course, this Heat team is also full of talent and has the ability to compete for the championship.
Now the Cavaliers rely on Wang Yan to suppress the Heat.
Bosh and Gasol actually implemented the twin tower tactics.
Wang Yan and TT guarded the inside, but one was strong and the other was weak.
Although TT is supervised by Wang Yan in this parallel world, he is not so lazy and trains very hard.
But his talent and skill level are there.
He still couldn't defend against the league's top inside players.
So Gasol and Bosh were on both sides of the restricted area, and whoever was farthest from Wang Yan would be allowed to attack!
This makeshift tactic was effective.
No matter how large the area Wang Yan defends is, he is still a human being and cannot teleport.
Bosh and Gasol took turns attacking and made TT dumbfounded.
In less than 3 minutes, he had committed 3 fouls.
Scott had no choice but to replace him with the backup center.
Wang Yan was also helpless and could only maintain a strong offensive.
The result was that the score between the two sides was close, with the Cavaliers only leading by a slight advantage of three or two points.
After three quarters, the score was 88:85, with the Cavaliers leading.
Wang Yan performed well today, scoring 42 points in three quarters.
But those who are familiar with the Cavaliers know that Wang Yan's high score is not a good thing.
This just shows that the team has encountered a strong enemy and no one else can be counted on.
The happiest people are Wang Yan’s fans. It has been a long time since they saw the “King of Full Power”.
In order to allow the team to grow slowly, Wang Yan would give up the ball and shooting rights when the opponent was not strong.
This caused his statistics to drop significantly.
Is data important to Wang Yan?
He doesn't think it's important.
Wang Yan is not interested in accumulating data.
For him, there is only one goal, and that is the championship.
Three consecutive championships! Four consecutive championships! Even five consecutive championships!
Not 1 not 2……not 5 not 6
What is data?
That's just a bonus for winning.
For example, when Curry was playing in college, he was often double-teamed by two opponents and blocked in the bottom corner.
The two defenders didn't look at the ball or anyone else at all.
He just kept his eyes on Curry and wouldn't even let him pass the ball!
Although Curry's final stats were poor, the rest of the team played 4 vs. 3 and won easily.
So do you think Curry is happy or sad?
At the beginning of the third quarter, Wang Yan did not rest and continued to play.
When Sibo saw Wang Yan stand up again, his heart tightened.
He originally thought that he would rely on substitutes to catch up with the score in the fourth quarter.
In desperation, Spoelstra had to substitute Bosh and Gasol.
Fortunately, Ray Allen had a good touch today.
A few minutes into the fourth quarter, the score was still tense.
Neutral fans are so happy, they all hope the game can go to the last minute, preferably overtime!
Because Wang Yan’s performance today was so great, it would be great if we could appreciate it for a while longer!
And today, Wang Yan may get the highest score of the season!
This season, Wang Yan's highest score was only 46 points.
Compared with the explosive data in the previous two seasons, it has decreased a lot.
But only those who watched the game knew that Wang Yan’s dominance over the game became even stronger!
In this game, Wang Yan had already scored 49 points before the fourth quarter was over. So the fans were full of expectations and wanted to know how many points Wang Yan could score.
Judging from the intense scene, Wang Yan must always maintain his offensive power to maintain a slight lead.
Both sides gradually replaced their main players.
Wade played calmly in the first three quarters and didn't take many shots because the Heat focused on the inside.
By the fourth quarter, Wade had saved a lot of energy and began to explode.
He frequently broke through from Butler's direction and scored.
Although Butler played fierce defense, he was still powerless against the Flash.
More than five minutes into the fourth quarter, the Heat took the lead again.
The home fans were jubilant and burst into thunderous roars again.
Many fans even shouted: "Dwyane! MVP!"
The biggest regret in Wade's career is that he has never won the regular season MVP.
So the fans' cheers for MVP are the best stimulant for Wade!
Scott had no choice but to give orders on the sidelines, asking Butler and Irving to double-team Wade!
Wade was prepared for the double-team and started passing the ball again.
Unfortunately, Chalmers didn't have a good touch today.
Wade passed the ball to him in two wide-open positions, one in the bottom corner and one at a 45-degree angle, but both missed.
Spoelstra decisively made another substitution, replacing Chalmers with Ray Allen.
If both three-pointers were made, the Cavaliers would be 9 points ahead.
Just when the Heat fans were getting anxious, Wang Yan's three-pointer came.
He no longer focused on inside offense, but instead pulled Bosh outside the three-point line.
There is no way, Wang Yan’s arsenal is too rich.
Golden Rooster is independent!
Super long three-pointer!
Bang bang bang…
This barrage of three-pointers once again reversed the score.
Wade put his hands on his hips and shook his head angrily.
Spoelstra had to call another timeout.
With 2 minutes and 38 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the score was 107:103, with the Cavaliers leading.
The noise at the Heat's home stadium is much quieter.
They seemed to be seeing last season's Eastern Conference Finals again.
Every time at the end, Wang Yan would explode.
In order to prevent Wang Yan from receiving the ball and attacking, Spoelstra actually used the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic.
TT's free throw shooting was not very stable, so we started to foul him without the ball.
Let him keep shooting free throws.
TT's free throw shooting was not very good to begin with, and now that the pressure is on him, his free throw shooting is even worse.
He made only 6 of 2 free throws.
In this way, the Heat caught up with the score again.
With 52 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the two sides were tied again.
Later, the NBA made a rule change to the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic, that is, no off-ball fouls are allowed in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.
Scott called a timeout.
He felt the power of the Heat.
Wang Yan has scored 63 points, but the Cavaliers still have not taken the lead.
This shows that the Heat are already on the same level as the Cavaliers.
Even if you win, you still feel scared.
Wang Yan has played for 39 minutes today and really gave it his all!
