Chapter 516
This wave of operations is a bit sensual
Logically speaking, Westbrook's current level is slightly inferior to Wang Yi.
After all, Westbrook's shooting percentage is far inferior to Wang Yi.
His overall shooting percentage this season is only 48%, and his three-point shooting percentage is as low as 22.3%.
But in these 5 rounds just now, Westbrook was like a divine help, and he played extremely high efficiency.
Fortunately, Wang Yi was not weak at all, and responded to a 4-for-5 out of 5.
This only kept the 10-point lead until the last three minutes.
However, Wang Yi knew that the Lakers would no longer let Westbrook and him one-on-one again.
At least on defense, they will do their best to target themselves.
They may send three people to double-team.
In that case, your shooting percentage will drop a lot, so you can only pass the ball out.
So the situation is still not optimistic.
He waved and gathered all the players together.
"The brothers will probably double-team me when they play next. They are not like the Pelicans, they have thick eyebrows with tall arms and long arms, and James. So I can't double-team them with strong shots, I have to split the ball, so I need your help in the next three minutes!"
His eyes looked at each teammate, not a rough glance, but looked at each teammate for at least a second.
I sincerely expressed my meaning to them. I didn’t say it. I really need your help.
The teammates were also in a state of great excitement at this time.
Some people even secretly annoyed at themselves.
Wang Yi has scored a triple-double of 56 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists in this game.
In addition, there were 5 blocks and three steals.
He has done everything he can do.
Wang Yi almost carried the team alone for 45 minutes.
Only the last three minutes left.
At this time, someone else must come forward to help Wang Yi share the burden.
Thinking of this, everyone clenched their fists and nodded solemnly.
Head coach Walton continued: "If the three of them double-team Wang Yi, then Wang, you will play without the ball. Mitchell and Hilder will control the ball. Wang, you keep running around to cover the screen, and others will also have to cover Wang Yi if they have the chance. As long as they run out of the open position, pass the ball to him."
All the team members nodded solemnly.
At this moment, all of them were tied together.
It was twisted into a thick wire rope, and it was necessary to pull the Lakers' giant ship to the shore and to make them stranded on the shore.
In the Lakers' rest area, Vogel still didn't talk about any tactics.
With James as the coach on the field, he doesn't need to set up any tactics at all.
What the Lakers need now is not a tactic.
All he needs to do is adjust the mentality of the team members.
He said to Westbrook: "Russell, you have proved your ability in those 5 rounds just now. You are still one of the top athletes in the league today. Then it's time for us to win. So you can't 1-on-1 with him anymore. It's not good for us to continue to blow up each other."
Westbrook let out a sigh of anger at this time and seemed much calmer.
"Coach, I understand."
When James saw Westbrook calm down, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Vogel said: "They are all pointing at Wang Yi now, so we have to double-team him. If there are not enough two people, we will join three people. It's still the same, we have to force Wang Yi to pass the ball. Russell, you are chasing Wang Yi in the whole game, and the others are ready to double-team at any time. As long as he has a shooting trend, the three of them will immediately join."
"In short, Wang Yi is the pillar of the Kings. As long as Wang Yi is solved, the Kings will collapse."
...
The pause comes back, and the final three minutes begins.
The Lakers were played by James and Davis, and James hit a long three-pointer.
Looking back, Westbrook immediately chased Wang Yi and prevented him from catching the ball.
Other players of the Kings want to launch a fast break quickly, but the Lakers retreat very quickly.
When Wang Yi came to the frontcourt, the Lakers had already set up their defensive formation.
According to the head coach, Mitchell held the ball.
Wang Yi kept running without the ball, looking for opportunities around the cover.
Finally, he received the ball at the bottom corner on the right.
But I have to say that Vogel does have a way of coaching and defending.
He asked Westbrook to chase Wang Yi in the whole game, and at the same time, let the other four Lakers defend within the three-point line, forming a four-player joint defense formation.
However, their joint defense formation has been expanded relatively large.
All four people are in the middle of the penalty area and the three-point line.
This way, you can prevent three points from moving forward, and you can prevent empty cuts in the restricted area.
The moment Wang Yi received the ball, Westbrook first rushed over to stop Wang Yi.
Wang Yi had just shook for a while, Gua Ge and James had already rushed over, and the three of them surrounded Wang Yi.
Wang Yi obviously didn't expect this defensive strategy against the Lakers for the first time...
The three of them surrounded Wang Yi and wanted to pin him to death at the bottom corner.
At this time, Wang Yi faced three burly men and had no route to pass the ball.
No shooting angle.
There is no room for dribbling to break through.
"No, the king is going to be pinned to death!"
"The Lakers are so shameless!"
"It's over, it's over!"
The fans screamed.
But at this moment, when Wang Yi was at his wits end.
I saw him jumping directly out of the boundary. When the person was in the air, he turned sideways and hit Gua Ge hard on his leg.
His choice is very purposeful.
Among the three, Westbrook is low and has the most agile reaction. If he hits him, he may bend over and catch the ball, and he may be avoided.
James is also an old man with a very high ball quotient, and it would be unsafe if he was hit.
Gua Ge is the one with the worst physical condition and the slowest reaction among these three.
His chance of avoiding is much smaller.
Sure enough, Wang Yi hit Gua Ge directly on his calf.
Gua Ge didn't react at all.
The basketball pops out of bounds.
It's still the Kings' ball.
Wang Yi's operation made the fans on the scene laugh.
This kind of operation is actually not uncommon on the basketball court, but is it the first time I have seen such a rapid movement like Wang Yi and such a strong blow?
Don’t you see Wang Yi hitting her, and she actually staggered.
After landing, he stroked his calf with his hands, and it was obviously hurt.
Next, the king has 5 seconds to attack.
Bagley serves outside the border, and Wang Yi is still keeping around to cover.
After finally going around to cover the ball, three people from the Lakers still rushed over.
This time Wang Yi took the ball much faster.
He passed the ball directly to Bagley who had just entered the field.
Bagley was under no defense and shot directly.
Bang—
Still hit the iron with three points.
As a big man over 2.1 meters, he kept biting like a small man in this game, and his physical energy consumption was the largest among everyone.
Looking back, the Lakers James made another three-pointer but failed to hit.
Chapter completed!
