Originally, if the script continued like this, the Kings would have a high chance of winning the game easily.
But there are always surprises in life, and playing games is no exception.
When both sides took the field in the third quarter, the Kings adopted the same defensive strategy as before.
And Jenkins is not a vegetarian.
He did not let Morant hold the ball for the time being, but gave the ball to several other players to run.
Although the Grizzlies have Morant as their core, their team basketball is still worthy of praise.
Instead of letting others hold the ball when he holds the ball, it can actually make the ball move more smoothly.
From here on, they did not follow the script set by Wang Yi.
This made Kings assistant coaches Tang and Joel and others a little worried.
Tang asked Wang Yi: "What should we do next?"
Although Wang Yi saw that the other party did not follow the script, he still answered confidently:
"The characteristic of their lineup is that once we let other people get the ball, we lose the focus of defense, because the other four people have similar abilities. You don't know who will suddenly break out, and who will suddenly jump out. So their lineup
It’s more difficult to defend.”
"But since we can't defend against them, let's start a confrontation with them. Aren't they also unable to defend against us with Xiao Qiao as the pivot?"
There is an advantage to Xiao Qiao being a shaft.
That is to be able to attract Adams from the opponent's inside, leaving enough space for James and Paul to break through.
You must know that Xiao Qiao's three-point shooting percentage is also 39%.
So when he gets the ball at the three-point line, Adams inside the Grizzlies must step up to defend.
The inside line is empty.
So there was really nothing they could do about Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao is tall and has long arms. You can double-team him. He can pass the ball. You can say he can't double-team him. If others move around Xiao Qiao, opportunities can appear at any time.
And as long as an opportunity arises, Xiao Qiao can pass it to his teammates.
So Xiao Qiao makes it very difficult for his opponents.
In this way, the two sides continued to fight until the 5th minute of the 4th quarter.
At this time, the Grizzlies suddenly broke out with a three-pointer.
Morant was still resting off the court. Their Bane scored two three-pointers, Johnson threw in a three-pointer, and even Clark threw in two three-pointers.
Five consecutive three-pointers allowed them to quickly even the point difference.
The momentum of the entire Grizzlies home court is up again.
The camera once again showed Wang Yi.
Everyone wanted to see how ugly the expression on Wang Yi's face was.
They want to see Wang Yi panic;
I want to see Wang Yi helpless.
So the director very wisely gave the camera to Wang Yi.
However, what they saw was Wang Yi still looking calm, sitting on his chair and chewing gum leisurely.
Everyone was a little surprised.
Apart from the accident, they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
We have already caught up with the score. You are still pretending here. What is there to pretend?
It’s better to think carefully about how to fight next.
At this time, Tang Ye, the assistant coach behind Wang Yi, asked Wang Yi: "The Grizzlies are a team that rarely shoots three-pointers. Now they have hit five consecutive three-pointers. We have to find a way to deal with it."
Wang Yi nodded.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Hilde was replaced.
"Hield, thank you for your hard work. Let Beverley have the next task of guarding Morant."
Although Morant didn't play just now, the point difference is now tied. If the Grizzlies want to overtake, they will inevitably play Morant.
Hield also knew that he couldn't guard Morant, so he nodded: "I understand."
Although he was a little disappointed that he could not play at the critical moment of the decisive battle, Wang Yi has given him a lot of playing time today.
Normally he can only play for ten minutes, but today his playing time has reached 30 minutes, and Wang Yi also specially arranged several tactics for him so that he can easily score goals.
So today he has scored 25 points, which is his best game this season, and he should be satisfied.
In fact, Hilde is indeed satisfied.
Next, Wang Yi sent out a top defensive lineup.
Beverley, Paul, Danny, James and Barnes.
This is a five-small lineup.
The tallest person in this lineup is James.
The characteristics of this lineup are high defensive intensity and strong mobility.
The disadvantage is his lack of rebounding ability.
On the opposite side, Adams has a very strong rebounding ability, especially offensive rebounding ability.
Tang's analysis of this lineup was very good and he asked Wang Yi: "This lineup is very strong in defensive counterattack, but how to ensure its rebounding ability? There is Adams on the opposite side."
Wang Yi glanced at the five players and said: "So I ask everyone to rush for rebounds together. As long as there is a tendency of missing shots, all five players will rush forward and rush for rebounds. We use wolf pack tactics to defeat their height."
."
Tang nodded.
This tactic is theoretically feasible, but the actual effect depends on actual combat.
Grizzlies coach Jenkins saw the Kings on this lineup, and he explained to the players:
"They are a five-small lineup. Their characteristic is defensive counterattack, but they lack rebounds, so my requirement is to hit the ball to the inside steadily and let Adams finish it. Even if Adams can't finish it, we have Adams who is absolutely
Height and rebounding are also guaranteed.”
After taking the field again, the Kings attack.
At this time, James takes the ball at the top of the three-point arc and other teammates move around James.
Paul received the ball after a cut and then passed it to Danny outside the left three-point line.
Danny had a moment of space to take action, and he took action without hesitation.
It's just that he, who used to hit 45% of his three-point shooting percentage, failed to hit the ball.
The Grizzlies home court immediately became excited, and all the spectators started making noises.
And Adams of the Grizzlies came south.
He has secured his position, and this rebound is his.
However, at this moment, the five players on the Kings team seemed to be attracted by something. With a bang, all five players rushed towards the basket.
James was the first to rush to the basket, but instead of jumping, he used his body to get in position with Adams.
Danny and Paul, who followed later, blocked the position of the others.
Prevent the rest of the Grizzlies from rebounding.
In the end, it was Barnes who got the ball, then gently licked the basket and scored in the second attack.
Grizzlies coach Jenkins frowned slightly when he saw this, but did not make any changes.
He had already sensed the opponent's intention to grab the rebound, and wanted five people to rush for the rebound.
But if all five of them rush for rebounds, no one will go for a fast break.
Then their defensive counterattack will be impossible, and they will be destroying their lineup.
The Grizzlies attack next.
This time, as soon as Morant got the ball, Beverley pounced to defend him.
Beverley is like a bulldog, his eyes light up when he sees Morant.
Chapter completed!
