Chapter 266: Focus on both defense and offense! The score gap widens!

In Popovich's view, although Ginobili's scoring ability is not as good as Tony Parker, the appearance of the demon sword can fully improve the team's coordination.

To know.

In fact, Popovich has always been an NBA coach who likes to emphasize passing and running.

and so!
Deep down in Popovich's heart, he still likes Ginobili very much.

At this moment.

When Ginobili came to the frontcourt with the ball, he suddenly saw Leonard's running position, so Ginobili threw the basketball to Leonard at the fastest speed!

After receiving the basketball, the latter almost did not hesitate. After taking a look at the position of the basket, he shot directly!

Swish!
Just like that, the basketball fell perfectly into the basket.

Three point hit!

Leonard successfully completed the scoring.

In the Tianchao Sports studio, commentator Yu Jia shouted loudly after seeing this scene: "Beautiful!"

"So far, Leonard has scored 20 points today!"

"And the difference between the Spurs and the Cavaliers is only three points!"

"There is no doubt that if the Spurs can win tonight, Leonard will be the biggest contributor!"

……

In the stands of AT&T Arena, tens of thousands of fans shouted Leonard's name in unison!

at this moment.

Spurs fans saw the dawn of victory from Leonard!

They believe it.

As long as every Spurs player can play to Leonard's strength tonight, they can definitely beat the Cavaliers.

Inside the EPSN studio.

Of course.

This is not an easy thing for the Spurs players.

Back to the game.

The Cavaliers responded immediately after entering the fourth quarter.

On the outside line.

When Tony Parker stopped moving forward.

He quickly passed the basketball in his hand to the unguarded Jimmy Butler.

In fact, looking at Jimmy Butler's entire competitive state tonight, this player's performance can only be described as average.

Whether on offense or defense, Butler did not perform to his full potential!
at this moment.

There was no one in front of Jimmy Butler.

It seems that the Spurs' defensive players did not take Jimmy Butler seriously.

Ever since.

Butler took action immediately!
boom!
The basketball hit the front of the backboard accurately and then bounced out quickly.

Jimmy Butler is still a little bit short.

Fortunately, in the interior, the Cavaliers have an excellent rebounding monster like Wang Yan.

In fact, when Jimmy Butler completed the shot, Wang Yan was ready under the basket. He had a strong premonition that he could feel that Jimmy Butler's shot would end in failure.

Ever since.

Wang Yan was prepared to fight for the rebound in advance.

As expected, Butler's shot hit the front of the backboard and bounced out. At this moment, Wang Yan jumped high before Tim Duncan and Split!

Wang Yan made full use of his jumping ability and arm span advantages.

He grabbed the basketball with both hands in the air without any suspense.

After that, Wang Yan completed a double-handed dunk!

"It seems that Wang Yan continued the form of the first three quarters in the fourth quarter. Although the Cavaliers are currently in the lead, if they want to win the game, Wang Yan needs to give more." In the Tianchao Sports studio, Coach Zhang is very clear about the current state of the team. He also understands that the only one in the Cavaliers lineup who can compete with the opponent is Wang Yan!

At this time, the broadcast camera immediately found the Spurs head coach Popovich.

The experienced NBA coach seemed to have a slight twitch in the corner of his mouth.

In the first two games, Popovich tried every means to stop Wang Yan from scoring, but unfortunately, judging from the results, the Spurs' defense did not interfere with Wang Yan.

and so.

Popovich could no longer stop Wang Yan from scoring.

He can only pray now that the Spurs players on the field can perform better on the offensive end!

at this time.

Ginobili had already brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then Ginobili completed the shot at the fastest speed!
Swish!
On the three-point line, Ginobili's shooting is clean and neat.

There is no sloppiness.

Simultaneously.

Ginobili's shot flew perfectly into the basket.

"The crucial three points!"

Commentator Yu Jia shouted loudly: "This shot is so crucial!"

"The score difference has come to the last two points!"

"After entering the fourth quarter, the Spurs are in great shape!"

"Are they really going to complete a comeback in their home stadium?"

On the sidelines, Spurs head coach Popovich looked very excited and excited.

And in the stands of AT&T Arena, tens of thousands of fans are cheering!
It seemed that at this moment, the Spurs had already won the game, but in fact, there was still a two-point difference between the two teams.

On the Cavaliers side.

The team's head coach Scott's eyes looked a little dazed. Obviously, he was also deeply shocked by the Spurs' crazy offensive during this period.

But right now.

The Cavaliers players quickly pushed the basketball to the frontcourt, and then Wang Yan chose to move from the inside to the outside.

This action immediately caused the entire AT&T Arena stands to fall into silence.

All the Spurs fans focused their attention on Wang Yan.

next second.

Wang Yan raised his knife and attacked immediately! !
In the blink of an eye, the basketball fell into the basket.

Swish!
Three point hit.

Suddenly, the difference between the two teams reached five points.

In the stands, the Spurs fans who were celebrating just a second ago suddenly stopped celebrating.

When Wang Yan attempted a shot from the top of the three-point arc, it was almost a dimensionality reduction blow to the Spurs' perimeter defense.

Whether it's Ginobili or Danny Green.

None of them could cause any interference to Wang Yan.

In the following period of time, Wang Yan was even more powerful. He not only performed well in the interior, but also continued his hot shooting touch from the outside.

The most important thing is that Wang Yan strengthened his defense, or in other words, increased his expansion range.

In previous games, Wang Yan defended more in the penalty area, but now Wang Yan sometimes appears on the outside and sometimes on the inside!

In short, it is quite erratic.

This is Wang Yan's strength!!
In a blink of an eye, the fourth quarter was already halfway through.

And now.

The score between the two teams has reached 8 points.

Thanks to Wang Yan's efforts, the Cavaliers are gradually expanding their lead.

In the stands of AT&T Arena, more than 20,000 Spurs fans became anxious again after seeing this scene.
