Chapter 271 NBA's top inside player! Another dunk!
At the end of the first quarter, the home team Cavaliers temporarily led the Spurs by 7 points.
To be honest, such a score difference is barely acceptable to coach Popovich.
A seven-point gap is not even a big gap in the basketball world, and besides, the game has only just started the first quarter.
Soon, the second quarter of the game began for both sides.
Both head coaches, Scott and Popovich, made some personnel rotations at the beginning of the second quarter.
When the rotation players came on the court, it was obvious that the Cavaliers' advantage at home was instantly gone.
In the first three minutes, the Spurs players bombarded the Cavaliers' basket.
Especially Tony Parker.
In this game, Coach Popovich did not let Tony Parker start, but chose the more stable Ginobili.
And now, when Tony Parker came off the bench, he immediately made a crazy attack on the Cavaliers' basket.
In addition to using his unstoppable speed advantage to tear through the opponent's defense and score layups, Tony Parker can even demonstrate his three-point shooting ability from the outside.
In the first three minutes of the second quarter, Tony Parker alone scored eight points, helping the Spurs instantly overtake the Cavaliers in the score.
"If the Cavaliers can bring in a few talented players in this year's free market, then the Cavaliers may still win the NBA championship next season."
In the Tianchao Sports studio, Coach Zhang said: "Right now, the biggest problem for the Cavaliers is that there is no stable output point in the rotation lineup. Now the Spurs are making good use of this."
Commentator Yu Jia also said with emotion: "Yes, now the Cavaliers are behind. Maybe Coach Scott should consider changing players."
On the sidelines, Cavaliers head coach Scott seemed to have heard Yu Jia's words. Not long after, he requested a substitution from the technical desk.
This time, Scott made a five-in-five substitution, directly sending the team's starting lineup back on the court. On the Spurs side, Popovich saw Scott's substitution and made the same substitution immediately without any hesitation! !
As a result, the strongest lineups of both teams returned to the court again.
The real game in the second quarter begins!
The Cavaliers have the ball on offense.
When Kyrie Irving quickly brought the basketball to the frontcourt, he was immediately interfered by the Cavaliers players.
Ginobili constantly used some small movements in front of Irving to slow down Irving's dribbling rhythm as much as possible.
At this moment.
Under the Spurs' basket, Wang Yan had already stretched out his right hand towards Irving, signaling Irving to pass the ball.
But unfortunately, Irving's attention was now entirely on his battle of wits and courage with Ginobili, and he did not notice Wang Yan's move to ask for the ball.
After a few seconds.
Kyrie Irving was angered by Ginobili's little trick. After he found an opening, he immediately shot!
In an instant, the basketball flashed past Ginobili's head, and then, after hitting the backboard, it bounced out directly! !
Kyrie Irving's shot ultimately ended in failure.
Under the basket.
At this moment, the inside players of the Cavaliers and Spurs rushed forward to jump and grab rebounds.
However, as long as Wang Yan is in the interior, other players will return empty-handed.
Wang Yan suddenly jumped into the air, using his arm span and terrifying jumping ability to easily grab the rebound in the paint!
follow closely.
Wang Yan held the basketball tightly with both hands and forced a two-handed dunk despite the interference of Tim Duncan!
hum hum...
This was a domineering dunk, which ignited the atmosphere in the stands of the Quicken Loans Center.
Tens of thousands of fans shouted Wang Yan's name together.
In the Tianchao Sports studio, Yu Jia was extremely excited and said, "It's Wang Yan again!"
"He didn't show any courtesy to Tim Duncan and completed the dunk immediately!!"
"It was an explosive dunk! At this moment, Wang Yan successfully ignited the emotions at the scene!"
Coach Zhang also gave thumbs up and said: "It seems that the Cavaliers will win the NBA championship tonight!"
"Although the two Spurs' inside players are in good shape on the offensive end, they are of no use at all on defense, especially when facing Wang Yan..."
"If the Spurs' inside players can't limit Wang Yan's scoring on the defensive end, then the Spurs won't be able to beat the Cavaliers!"
On the Spurs sideline.
Popovich had a complicated expression on his face. He understood that both Split and Tim Duncan had almost given their all in this defensive process.
But, there is no way around it.
Under Wang Yan's impeccable attack, the Spurs defenders had no power to fight back.
The game continues.
Now, the Spurs players on the field all showed a little disappointment on their faces.
Perhaps at this moment, these experienced players also understand that it is very difficult for the Cavaliers to win tonight...
Of course, there were some Spurs players who did not give up the game, such as Ginobili.
The Spurs' offensive core quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.
At this time, the Cavaliers' outside player Kyrie Irving did not closely guard Ginobili. In his opinion, Ginobili's first choice this time would definitely be to pass the ball.
At this moment, Ginobili suddenly made a shooting motion.
In a flash, the basketball drew a beautiful arc above the Cavaliers' half court, and then quickly fell into the basket! !
When the Spurs needed points the most, Ginobili stepped up.
This shot successfully boosted the morale of every Spurs player.
This also made the Spurs players full of fighting spirit on the defensive end.
When the Cavaliers' outside offensive player Jimmy Butler wanted to respond at the bottom corner of the three-point line, Leonard rushed over and reached out to block the shot before Jimmy Butler!
follow closely.
The Spurs got a chance to fight back.
After completing the block, Leonard immediately grabbed the ball again and passed it to Danny Green as soon as possible!
The latter advanced straight ahead.
He strode into the Cavaliers' half.
In the blink of an eye, at the top of the three-point line.
Danny Green suddenly stepped on the brakes!!
It seems that Danny Green wants to shoot directly.
But just as he was about to shoot, Wang Yan suddenly rushed out from behind him!
moment!
Wang Yan completed the block with his right hand and the basketball was controlled by Wang Yan again.
What was originally an offensive opportunity for the Spurs instantly became a counterattack for the Cavaliers!
