Chapter 74 Training the Best Defensive Player Alone(1/2)
When Wang Yi started passing the ball, the Jazz couldn't defend it.
Because they have to guard against Wang Yi's three-pointers and his passes.
This is very troublesome.
However, Coach Snyder has no plans to do anything else yet.
Hopefully that No. 1 pass was just an accident.
After all, looking at past videos, this Lakers No. 1 rarely passes the ball.
Occasionally, one or two good balls can be passed.
So check again.
However, it turns out that Coach Snyder was wrong.
Wang Yi doesn't just pass the ball occasionally.
Next two rounds.
Because the Jazz players attacked Wang Yi too hard.
The defense against other Lakers players was a bit lax.
Wang Yi passed the ball to Xiaojia for a mid-range shot.
He then passed the ball to Xiao Hei who cut through the air and succeeded in a layup.
Three consecutive rounds, three consecutive assists!
Coach Snyder had to request a timeout again.
When the players came off the field, he gave Wang Yi a meaningful look.
Three three-pointers in a row, followed by three assists in a row.
This guy is a bit surprising.
It seems that I underestimated him before.
Royce O'Neal frowned.
The coach said he was going to use the body on this guy, but just as he was about to use the body, the guy actually chose to pass the ball again.
This makes people a little crazy.
The Lakers players were very excited.
Especially James.
He made a surprised expression.
"Oh, who do I see? Jason Kidd? Steve Nash? Or John Stockton?"
The head coach was also a little surprised.
I also knew that Wang Yi could pass the ball before.
But I didn’t expect Wang Yi’s golf quotient to be so high.
After attracting the opponent's defensive attention with a three-pointer, he chose to pass the ball.
It seems that I have to get to know this Easterner again.
Finally, after Wang Yi passed the ball again, head coach Snyder requested a timeout again.
During the timeout, he changed his defensive strategy again:
"That Lakers No. 1, we have to cut off his connection with his teammates. If he insists on shooting a three-pointer, we can give it to him. But we must not let him drive other Lakers players."
Mitchell asked:
"Coach, what about his three-pointer?"
Snyder frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and seemed to be cruel.
said:
"If he insists on shooting a three-pointer, we'll give it to him. I don't believe he can hit such a high percentage throughout the game!"
"As long as you give him physical strength and confrontation, his physical fitness will decline later and his shooting rate will definitely decrease."
"I stress again, the important thing is, we can't let him pass the ball again! We can't let him pass the ball again!"
Return to the field.
Jazz offense.
The pick-and-roll between Mitchell and Gobert is still as lethal as ever.
Currently, the Lakers have no effective way to defend their pick-and-roll.
After all, Gobert occupies too much space and the quality of the cover is too high. It is difficult to easily break their pick-and-roll.
There are several ways to prevent pick-and-rolls.
It is possible to flank the ball holder, but for Mitchell, who has a good ball-playing ability, this obviously does not work.
If there is a flank attack, he can quickly hand it over to Gobert who is following him.
The other is to change whenever there is a pick-and-roll.
But Zhuang Shen's pace is simply impossible to keep up with Mitchell.
The third type is for the big man to delay the ball carrier, and then quickly go back to defend the player he is facing.
But Zhuang Shen's footsteps...well, I'll be in tears if I talk about it too much.
Therefore, it seems difficult for the Lakers to break their pick-and-roll.
This ball was blocked by Mitchell and dunked after a pick-and-roll.
Huge cheers erupted once again.
Like a landslide;
Like a tsunami.
The shock makes people's eardrums hurt.
Looking back, the Lakers continued to attack.
This time, Wang Yi went around the cover.
Royce O'Neal, who was chasing him, kept pulling with Wang Yi.
Occasionally, he would quietly give Wang Yi a push.
Wang Yi staggered around the screen this time and almost fell down twice.
After finally catching the ball, he only had a split second to take action.
But because he was running and stumbling all the way just now, his rhythm was already a little messed up.
It will be difficult to hit if you try again.
He wanted to pass the ball, but found that other Lakers players were being targeted.
There are no passing lanes at all.
And after such a long run just now, time has almost been consumed.
In the end, he could only take a step back and reluctantly take action.
Royce O'Neal immediately pounced hard.
There was obviously physical contact this time.
Wang Yi lost his balance in the air and fell to the ground.
The basketball naturally bounced out of the basket.
Wang Yi looked at the referee.
The referee turned a blind eye and made a gesture to continue the game.
For an ordinary player like Wang Yi, who is also an Oriental, as long as the foul is not too obvious, the referee generally ignores it.
Refer to the original Jeremy Lin.
Royce O'Neal defended once and slapped his hand three times.
He shouted: "Great job!"
Firstly, he was trying to cheer himself up, and secondly, he was demonstrating to Wang Yi.
The scene also erupted into huge cheers.
Next round.
While Wang Yi was going around the screen, Royce O'Neal deliberately hung onto Wang Yi's arm when the referee wasn't paying attention.
His body was brought down by Wang Yi.
