Chapter 268: The Spurs survived! Total score 13!

"There are still two minutes and twenty seconds left in the fourth quarter, and now the Cavaliers have extended their lead to ten points."

"It seems that the victory of this game tonight will belong to the Cavaliers again."

In the Tianchao Sports Studio.

After seeing the current scores of the two teams, commentator Yu Jia finally relaxed.

"Yes, the Spurs still can't solve Wang Yan's scoring problem. It's too difficult for Popovich's team to win at home."

Coach Zhang also spoke.

In the last few minutes, the Cavaliers players became more and more confident, while the Spurs players were in despair! !
In addition to being unable to effectively limit Wang Yan's scoring on the defensive end, the Spurs also encountered trouble on the offensive end! !

Leonard and Danny Green, two excellent outside shooters, lost their three-point touch.

In the last few minutes, it can be said that the Spurs were in very bad shape.

There is no way to withstand the opponent's attack!

Gradually.

The Spurs are running out of time.

During this period, Coach Popovich still held a large number of tactical timeouts.

But to be honest, it didn't have any effect.

The Spurs were porous both defensively and offensively.

……

When the last two minutes returned to zero, the score between the Cavaliers and the Spurs was fixed at 121:108.

The Cavaliers won Game 3 of the NBA Finals at the AT&T Center, on the Spurs' home court!
In terms of total score.

The Cavaliers are already leading the Spurs 3-0!
The victory in this game also allowed the Cavaliers to gain the match point.

As long as they win the next game, the Cavaliers will win the NBA championship for three consecutive seasons under the leadership of Wang Yan!
The Cavaliers will build their dynasty!!
Wang Yan scored 54 points, 11 assists, 7 blocks and 13 rebounds in this game.

He won the best player of the game without any suspense.

Other Cavaliers players scored: Irving scored 12 points and 12 assists, and Butler scored 15 points and 3 steals.

On the Spurs side, the highest scoring player was Leonard.

In fact, in the regular season and even in the playoffs, Leonard has always been a low-key player.

But after entering the NBA finals.

Leonard has become the offensive core of the Spurs.

Especially when Tim Duncan was restricted in all aspects by Wang Yan, Leonard was always able to stand up and score.

In tonight's game, Leonard scored a total of 32 points!
The Spurs' star player Tim Duncan scored 10 points.

And most of these points were scored when Wang Yan left the court.

In short.

In tonight's game, except for Leonard, the other Spurs players did not perform at their best.

This is not at all what the Spurs head coach wanted to see.

After the game.

EPSN reporters also came to Popovich for an interview as soon as possible.

"Mr. Popovich, your team has already suffered three consecutive losses in the NBA Finals. Do you still have hope for the NBA championship?"

In response to the reporter's question, Popovich simply replied: "Of course."

"The NBA Finals is a long series. Although the Cavaliers have won three games, it does not mean that their opponents can win the championship."

"The Spurs have every hope of rewriting their own destiny!"

Popovich will never give up the suspense of the game until the last moment.

That night, the Cavaliers players took a flight back to Cleveland.

Based on Coach Scott's schedule.

The Cavaliers players will conduct two days of targeted training at the training base in Cleveland before taking a flight to St. Anthony!
Since the Cavaliers have already scored three points, after returning to Cleveland, Coach Scott gave his players two days off.

Wang Yan did not do much training during these two days, but instead made an appointment with Irving to play games at home.

It seems that I have entered the vacation life early.

Two days later.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' training facility.

Coach Scott did not conduct targeted training for his players, but instead focused on daily physical recovery training.

In Scott's opinion.

His team already had a big score of 3-0 and had won three games.

If nothing unexpected happens.

It was almost a foregone conclusion that the Cavaliers would win.

And it was precisely because the Cavaliers coach and players were overconfident that they encountered tough resistance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals!
May 12th.

Still at the home of the San Antonio Spurs.

The two teams ushered in the crucial battle of G4 of the NBA Finals! !

After the game starts.

The Cavaliers' players are in very bad shape.

Whether it's Kyrie Irving or Jimmy Butler.

Shots from the outside frequently hit the rim and there was no way to interfere with the opponent's basket.

On the contrary, it was the Spurs who were playing at home.

All the players have given 100% of their fighting spirit!

Try your best to fight against the Cavaliers!

It can almost be said that every ball must be fought for.

At the end of the first quarter, the home team Spurs relied on the two outside players Danny Green and Tony Parker to score wildly and successfully widened the score difference to more than ten points.

And after entering the second quarter.

The Spurs continued to push forward and directly expanded their opponent's lead.

During this period, Coach Scott had called several tactical timeouts, but unfortunately, they had no effect...

When the game came to the second half of the second quarter.

The fans of the Cavaliers fell into complete despair because... Wang Yan's performance in the game also fluctuated.

He failed to make consecutive shots under the double team of Split and Tim Duncan.

To know.

The reason why the Cavaliers have been able to reach the NBA Finals for three consecutive seasons is largely due to Wang Yan's personal ability.

Once Wang Yan's condition fluctuates, the team's scoring ability and the defensive strength of the interior will be greatly disturbed.

And just like that...the score gap is getting bigger and bigger.

At the end of the second quarter, the gap between the two teams widened to sixteen points.

Although Wang Yan found his shooting touch again in the third and fourth quarters, it was too late.

In the end, after four quarters of fierce battle between the two teams, the game was declared over.

The Spurs managed to escape death.

The total score was changed to 1:3!!
Next, the Cavaliers and the Spurs will move to the Quicken Loans Arena for the NBA Finals Game 5!
