Chapter 244 Yao Ming becomes the guest, and the finals G1 begins

The reason for inviting Yao Ming is that, on the one hand, he has many fans, and on the other hand, the Cavaliers' Chinese player Wang Yan is leading the Cavaliers to stride towards three consecutive championships!

As a compatriot, Yao Ming must have a lot to say.

So ESPN grasped the traffic code and immediately invited Yao Ming.

Yao Ming originally wanted to come to the United States in person to watch the finals and support Wang Yan. ESPN happened to invite him to participate in the show, and Yao Ming readily agreed.

Yao Ming and O'Neal are old friends. As soon as they met, they gave each other a big hug.

Barkley and Kenny Smith remain as hosts.

"Welcome all my old friends, especially Dayao who has come all the way from China!"

Several celebrities applauded and welcomed him.

Yao Ming is very well-known in the United States and has good relationships with people. Basically, there are no players with whom he has bad relationships.

"Thank you for the invitation. I am very happy to be on this show. I haven't been here for more than two years. It's nice to see old friends."

Dayao’s opening remarks were very enthusiastic. After all, he has worked here for many years and still has deep feelings for the team.

McGrady and Yao Ming don't have as good a relationship as imagined. Although they hugged each other and exchanged a few words when they met, there was always something weird about it.

"The last time I traveled to China, it was Dayao who found a guide for me. It's been a long time since I last visited China."

Maddie said with emotion.

After reminiscing about the past, everyone got down to business and discussed the various situations of both sides in this final.

Kenny Smith said: "The Cavaliers' playing style this year is actually very different from the previous two seasons. Wang Yan is no longer the absolute core of offense and defense, but leads his teammates to make the team's offense and defense more rich and three-dimensional."

Glove Payton has always criticized Wang Yan, thinking that Wang Yan's playing style is like that of an outside player, not an authentic inside player.

But after Wang Yan won two championships, Payton changed his tone again.

"I have to say that Wang Yan has led a new trend in basketball. His three-point shooting and defense have made the game easier."

Magic Johnson also said: "What I didn't expect is that Wang Yan's passing ability has been improved this season. The improvement is really huge!"

Yao Ming said proudly: "Wang Yan is not only a talented player, but also a great coach. He led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Asian Championships with an undefeated record. I was really surprised!"

Iverson said: "Wang Yan's basketball IQ is too high. If I had a teammate like him back then, I would never be afraid of the Lakers!"

After saying that, he glanced at O'Neal.

O'Neal scratched his head and laughed, "Actually, I also want to cross time and space to have a duel with Wang Yan, but looking at his three-point shot, I'm really not sure I can beat him!"

The only person who can make the Big Shark so humble, besides Jordan, is Wang Yan.

. . . .

The Cavaliers were also carefully preparing for this somewhat unexpected finals.

Although the Spurs were the top team in the Western Conference in the regular season, the Cavaliers players were still a little surprised that they were able to defeat the Warriors in the series and advance to the finals.

However, the coaching staff made preparations as quickly as possible, editing the videos of the Spurs in the series and showing them to the players.

After watching the video, the Cavaliers players were all very emotional.

This Spurs team is different than last year's Warriors.

Although the Warriors' Splash Brothers are very powerful, they can still be limited as long as they defend hard.

This Spurs team is made up of every member of the team, making it extremely difficult to defend against them.

Compared to the regular season, the Spurs in the playoffs are like a different team, very tough in all aspects.

Popovich is really amazing. The Spurs team he coached is so resolute in executing tactics.

Wang Yan gave a strategy for fighting against the Spurs, which is to resolutely guard the Spurs' outside line, while the inside line is left to Wang Yan.

Of course, it is very difficult to defend this Spurs team.

Wang Yan had to maintain a strong offensive pressure in order to defeat the Spurs in the end. Three days later, the finals that fans had been looking forward to finally started!

The Spurs' peak period lasted too long.

After they selected Duncan, they have never missed the playoffs, which is a record that is difficult to break.

That year, he competed for the championship with the powerful Lakers and Pistons, and defeated the Cavaliers led by James.

After a few years of silence, it has risen again.

Wang Yan came on stage to the cheers of the fans.

Compared with the slightly immature and frivolous behavior of the previous two years, Wang Yan is more steady and calm this year.

When he came on the stage, there were no exaggerated movements. He just walked out quickly, waved to the audience, and high-fived his teammates.

The Spurs' starting lineup is center Split, power forward Duncan, small forward Leonard, shooting guard Danny Green, and point guard Parker.

The Cavaliers' starting five are 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 middle.

Although Split jumped hard, Wang Yan's jumping speed and absolute height still gave him the advantage.

The Cavaliers got the first offensive opportunity.

Irving advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Wang Yan did not perform an opening show, but instead directed his teammates to implement a tactic.

Irving and Jamison broke the Spurs' defensive formation through pick-and-roll, and finally Jamison made a mid-range shot.

2:0
The Spurs attack.

Parker and Duncan also made a classic pick-and-roll.

However, the Cavaliers were too well prepared and Parker had no chance to shoot.

But the Spurs were really patient. After two more passes, Parker finally did a spun like a top, got to the basket and made a layup.

The French sports car is indeed the Spurs' offensive weapon, a sharp knife.

In the first half of the first quarter, neither team had a testing phase and it was a direct collision of Mars and the Earth.

Maybe it was because the two teams met once in the final stage of the regular season, so they are very familiar with each other.

Popovich knew Wang Yan better, so he only defended Wang Yan in the first quarter because Wang Yan would lead his teammates and basically not attack himself.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers' teammates played very well and fought back and forth with the Spurs.

After the official timeout, the Spurs increased their intensity and gradually gained the upper hand.

If Wang Yan doesn't take action again, the score will be too far behind.

But Wang Yan has many ways to attack, and he chooses to use more accurate passes to revitalize the entire team.

Wang Yan hasn't used Stockton's passing skills for a long time.

Whoosh!
Wang Yan's exquisite pass was so accurate that TT scored consecutively.

This made Duncan a little overwhelmed, and he began to defend Wang Yan closely.

But the old Duncan was not used to the fast-moving Wang Yan.

After a few rounds, Duncan was out of breath.

There's no way, age is not forgiving, he really can't adapt to this fast pace.

After the first quarter, Wang Yan's assists increased by 4.

The substitutes of both sides fought fiercely. This was a good opportunity for the Spurs to score. The Cavaliers' substitute lineup was Alexander!
