Chapter 249: Duncan is frequently blocked! Popovich is in despair!
As Wang Yan started to score the game, the Cavaliers instantly widened the gap with the Spurs during this period of time.
Popovich could only continue with tactical timeouts and re-formulate methods to restrict Wang Yan.
After the pause is over.
Spurs center Split came on the court, this time replacing Tony Parker.
The demon sword Ginobili continued to stay on the court.
The Spurs' offense has indeed been adjusted to some extent.
This time, when Ginobili faced Butler's defense on the outside, he first tried a few tentative steps, and then suddenly passed the ball behind his back.
In a moment, the basketball appeared in the hands of Leonard who was unguarded.
Obviously at this moment, most of the Cavaliers players were attracted by Ginobili, resulting in man-to-man mistakes.
This is a great opportunity to shoot!
Leonard didn't dare to be careless. He immediately raised his hands, glanced at the position of the basket, and shot immediately!
At this moment, the basketball flashed a beautiful arc in the sky above the Quick Loans Center and quickly fell into the basket.
When the Spurs needed points the most, Leonard stood up.
"As a player who also came out of the 2011 draft, Leonard also has the shadow of a superstar!"
"In such a tense moment, Leonard successfully withstood the pressure!"
In the ESPN studio, several NBA commentators applauded the young player after seeing Leonard's performance.
But for the current Spurs, in addition to being able to continue to put pressure on the Cavaliers' basket on the offensive end, the most important thing is to improve the team's defense.
Next, the Cavaliers had an offensive opportunity.
At the top of the three-point arc.
When facing Ginobili's defense, Irving made an emergency stop and quickly broke through from the latter's right side.
In terms of absolute explosive power, Irving still has many advantages over Ginobili.
but.
At the moment when Irving rushed into the inside, Leonard, who had just helped the Spurs make a shot, had also rushed in front of Irving!
As a player from the same draft, Irving is naturally very clear about Leonard's defensive ability.
After seeing that there was no good chance of a breakthrough, Kyrie Irving passed the ball decisively!
Swish!
The basketball quickly appeared in Wang Yan's hands!
As the fans in the stands of Quick Loans Center cheered, Wang Yan also showed his offensive talent.
Under the double attack of Tim Duncan and Split.
Wang Yan jumped high, but he didn't make any fancy moves.
Instead, he dunked with both hands.
He made full use of his core strength to complete a slam dunk over the heads of the two Spurs inside players.
This dunk immediately ignited the atmosphere in the stands of the Quick Loans Center.
Tens of thousands of Cavaliers fans immediately shouted Wang Yan's name.
The Mvp voice resounded throughout the venue.
"Wang Yan, your dunk was a bit brutal. You should still give Duncan some face."
Owen teased with a smile.
Wang Yan shrugged his shoulders and said in a very low-key manner: "Actually, I only used less than half of my strength for this dunk."
Duncan and another Spurs center, Split, looked angry after hearing what Wang Yan and Irving said.
However, they had no way to deal with Su Jian. On the bench, Spurs coach Popovich had no other options but to throw his hands up.
The game continues.
Since the Spurs players were unable to limit Wang Yan's scoring on the defensive end, they could only focus all their attention on the offensive end.
There is a kind of morale to fight the Cavaliers to the death!
When Ginobili dribbled to the frontcourt, he quickly used Danny Green's pick-and-roll to get past Irving's defense and then faced the double-team of Jamison and Butler.
Ginobili finally showed his passing talent.
A sudden pass from behind, and in the blink of an eye, the basketball was in Duncan's hands!
just.
The moment Ginobili passed the ball, Wang Yan had already rushed behind Tim Duncan!
At this moment, the two inside players had a direct dialogue in the Cavaliers' inside!
Under the basket.
When Tim Duncan saw that the defensive player behind him was Wang Yan, his heart sank.
But Tim Duncan did not give up the offense.
He gritted his teeth and turned around.

Duncan tried to use a small jump shot to get past Wang Yan's defense, but unfortunately, he failed.
When the basketball was thrown from Duncan's palm, Wang Yan's right hand was already in place!
Bang! !
Wang Yan ended Tim Duncan's attack with a ruthless block.
Another Cavaliers inside player, TT, immediately grabbed the basketball.
The Cavaliers counterattacked instantly.
As a center, TT does not have strong scoring ability, so the only thing he can do at this moment is to pass the ball.
When the basketball came into Irving's hands, he rushed into the opponent's basket at a speed like a Hot Wheels!
then!
Kyrie Irving made a graceful 360-degree turn and easily passed Leonard!
Forced layup and got two points!
As Irving and Wang Yan gradually became more serious in the game, the suspense of this NBA Finals G1 game almost disappeared.
With three minutes and fifty seconds left in the game, the home team Cavaliers had extended their lead to 18 points!
Popovich was helpless.
He could only take another tactical timeout.
The view came to the ESPN studio, where several NBA commentators commented on the performance of the two teams in the recent period.
"Poor Popovich. After today's game, he will definitely say something to the media. His team was once again beaten by Wang Yan."
Barkley continued to complain: "There is no way, this is Wang Yan. His performance in the first two seasons has proved that there is no team in the current NBA that can limit him!"
As Barkley's best friend, Shaquille O'Neal rarely agreed with Barkley's opinion.
"Wang Yan is too strong. He is like a big devil on the court. Not to mention Duncan, even Big Brother Duncan, David Robinson, can't stop Wang Yan!"
"Through Wang Yan, we can prove that basketball is still essentially an individual sport, not a so-called team sport. Wang Yan used his own strength to collapse the Spurs' defense."
At this moment, on the Spurs bench.
Popovich said to the Spurs main force in front of him with spit flying:
"Everyone wake up, this is the NBA Finals!"
"No matter what, we absolutely cannot lose Game 1! We still have a chance to tie the -point gap!"
"On the defensive end, you have only one mission, and that is to stop Wang Yan from scoring!"
"I don't want to see this Asian player score again! Got it?"
