All Grizzlies players realized the seriousness of the matter.
Gobert had already exhausted a lot of energy in the first quarter.
And he is not Morant.
Morant is young and not that tall, so although he was consumed a lot last time, his physical fitness did not appear until the second half of the fourth quarter.
But if Gobert is consumed like this, he may be physically exhausted by the second half of the third quarter.
Jenkins saw that everyone realized the seriousness of the matter, so he said to all the players:
"So what we have to do in the second quarter is to be ourselves and share the ball. We have to let the ball flow, move the ball, and mobilize their defense a lot so that we can have a chance and at the same time consume their physical energy."
All the players nodded and agreed with the coach's statement.
…
In the second quarter, the Kings were led by Paul for two minutes.
In these two minutes, Paul gave the Kings a temporary three-point lead with his mid-range shot and assists.
Then James comes on the scene.
The two played together with the Kings.
However, after James came on the court, the team not only failed to widen the point difference, but was overtaken by three points by the Grizzlies.
This is James' embarrassing situation in the past two years.
After the game, you can see that his statistics are often close to a triple-double, which seems very beautiful.
But looking at his efficiency value, it is often negative.
In other words, the team often loses points when he is on the court.
This was especially evident last year when he was with the Lakers.
There's nothing I can do about it, he's getting older and not as capable as he used to be.
His personal condition has declined, but the team still has a lot of ball rights in his hands.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the efficiency value will decrease.
That is to say, after coming to the Kings this year, his ball-handling dropped, and Wang Yi and Paul attracted defenses. The defenses he encountered were not as big as before, and his efficiency value slowly increased.
After James and Paul led the team to play for two minutes, the opposite Gobert finally came on the court, and at this time Wang Yi came on the court again.
Still the same as before, he came to guard Gobert.
At this time, Wang Yi was already very excited. He kept rubbing his hands and felt that his palms were sweaty.
I’m so excited that I can’t help it.
20% increase in projectile speed.
It's exciting to think about it.
At this time, the Kings attack first.
Wang Yi still doesn't seem to have a strong desire to attack, but Xiao Qiao holds the ball at the top of the arc as the axis.
Gobert still sank to the line and did not guard Xiao Qiao.
Seeing that no one was guarding him, Xiao Qiao was a little hesitant: should he shoot a three-pointer, or should he continue to wait for his teammates and pass the ball to them.
His three-point shooting today was really inaccurate, and he made 0 of 3 shots in the first quarter.
But if you don't shoot, if you don't shoot in such a big open space, that's just a joke.
Seeing this, Wang Yi shouted to Xiao Qiao: "Xiao Qiao, do you think the space is not big enough? Do you want me to clear the Golden Center 1 for you?"
James and Paul also shouted to Xiao Qiao: "Shoot. If you don't shoot, are you planning to fall in love with basketball?"
"Are you just standing there and planning to have sex with a basketball?"
Xiao Qiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. Each of these three team bosses was more rude than the other.
But he didn't feel insulted or anything like that. This is the culture of the NBA.
Teammates often tease each other with sarcasm, even if they are trying to encourage you.
Xiao Qiao received sarcastic encouragement from the three big guys, so he shot a three-pointer directly from the top of the key.
This time the three-pointer finally hit.
Xiao Qiao beat his chest hard.
Then I high-fived the three big guys one by one.
Wang Yi rubbed his head and said: "Xiao Qiao, happy wedding."
Although Xiao Qiao didn't understand the meaning, he knew by looking at Wang Yi's expression that this was not a good thing.
James and Paul also encouraged Xiao Qiao, but at the same time they still didn't understand Wang Yi's words.
On the other hand, when Mitchell, the little licking dog, heard these words on the sidelines, he burst into laughter.
In order to lick Wang Yi, he had a very thorough understanding of Chinese culture in the past two years.
He already knew what Wang Yi meant when he always called Qiao Xiaoqiao, and now he understood what Wang Yi said.
I recall Gong Jin’s time when Xiao Qiao got married for the first time.
In ancient China, didn’t people generally have sex only after they got married?
The boss means that Xiao Qiao finally lost his virginity.
Boss, this is really hidden so deeply that people who don’t understand Chinese culture really can’t understand it.
Back to the Kings defense.
Wang Yi still comes to defend Gobert alone.
The Grizzlies didn't pass to Gobert immediately this time.
They are looking for opportunities on the outside.
However, Morant and Mitchell's three-point shooting percentages are both unsatisfactory, one is 35%, and the other is 33%.
Therefore, if there is not a particularly large opening on the outside, the two of them will not take a three-pointer.
In the end, they were surprised to find that they had to give the ball to Gobert again.
When the coach James on the sidelines saw this scene, he couldn't help but touch his forehead.
Judging from this round alone, giving the ball to Gobert is the wisest choice.
But doesn’t this go back to the same old path as in Section 1?
In desperation, he looked at Kings No. 0 on the court. This guy was really brilliant.
You knew that he was going to use this move to consume Gobert's energy, but you couldn't do anything about it.
Because only Gobert is easy to beat.
Gobert got the ball at this time, leaning against Wang Yi.
He dribbled the ball and took a step inward, already reaching the basket.
This time Wang Yi was unhurried.
Instead, he said to Gobert: "You can shoot whatever you want. If I can't cover you, I lose."
When Gobert heard this sentence, his heart thumped.
There is no way, the psychological shadow on Wang Yi is too great.
However, I have already faced Wang Yi many times today, so I am not too worried.
He felt that this was just a psychological tactic by Wang Yi.
So he raised the ball and shook it violently.
Wang Yi did not take off.
Gobert shook again, but Wang Yi still didn't take off.
Gobert shook a third time, but Wang Yi still didn't take off.
Gobert finally raised the ball for the fourth time, and Wang Yi was about to dunk from behind.
However, as soon as he jumped up, Wang Yi also jumped up and reached the highest point faster than Gobert.
Gobert only had one thought in his mind at this time:
Farke!
The next moment, Wang Yi's big hat slammed down on Gobert's head and face.
The basketball was directly photographed and hit Gobert in the face.
Gobert was hit directly and fell to the ground. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the area of ​​​​his psychological shadow expanded again.
The most important thing is that he shook Wang Yi three times in a row without taking off. When he shook Wang Yi for the fourth time, Wang Yi took off. How on earth did this guy predict his own prediction?
In fact, Wang Yi did not predict his prediction. He just took off after seeing him take off.
It's just that Wang Yi's bullet speed is faster than him.
Chapter completed!
