Although Holiday was guarded by Wang Yi with almost no possibility of offense. Wang Yi didn't even use a three-pointer and Holiday was already beaten. However, he has also made great progress on the defensive end this year.
progress.
In the first three rounds of the series, the players he faced were defended by him and his shooting percentage was only 30%.
He averaged only 9.7 points per game.
For example, Lowry and Butler did not get any good results from him.
The reason why his defense has improved so much is because he learned many tricks from Doug Laimbeer.
He understood that it was impossible to defend Wang Yi with normal defense, and he could only use those little tricks.
So when he defended Wang Yi in the next round, when Wang Yi tried to post up him in the low post, he directly hit Wang Yi in the back with his elbow.
This move is very hidden and does not move much, but it is extremely painful when it hits the person's back.
This is exactly the new trick he learned from dog.
This is most effective for players who are good at post-up play.
This was the move he used when guarding Anthony just now.
At this time, this trick was used against Wang Yi again.
Wang Yi was hit so hard that his back hurt terribly.
But even so, he turned over and bounced out, then floated backwards and threw the ball.
The basketball gently passed over Holiday's fingertips and slid gently into the basket, as smooth as a loach sliding into a fish tank.
Holiday frowned slightly.
Can this guy even get in?
At the same time, in a hospital on the south-south coast, the world's hardest g8 Jimmy Butler was lying on the hospital bed.
His right arm was wrapped in a thick bandage and looked seriously injured.
This was caused by Doug Laimbeer. In fact, before Doug Laimbeer caused him this serious injury, Holiday had actually violated his right arm many times.
His right arm had already been injured during the regular season.
By the playoffs, he was back in action before he recovered.
So when Holiday was guarding him, he kept pulling, twisting, and hitting his right arm.
In the end, a seemingly unintentional violent impact by Doug Laimbeer caused the old injury of his right arm to relapse and fracture again.
Butler still knows Holiday very well, and Holiday's defense was very clean in the past.
But since Doug Laimbeer joined the Bucks, Holiday's defense has started to make a lot of dirty tricks.
At this time, when he saw Wang Yi's goal, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
To others, this was just an ordinary turn-around fadeaway jumper, but Jimmy Butler knew it was anything but ordinary.
He deeply understands how painful it is to be elbowed in the back.
In that situation, it is difficult for you to turn over and hit immediately. Even for a tough guy like him, it is difficult to do it.
And in the playoffs, among the Bucks' opponents in these three rounds, he has never seen anyone else do it.
But Wang Yi did it.
Sure enough, he is still so strong.
Thinking back to the finals with Wang Yi, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Only such an opponent can further stimulate his desire to fight.
How he longs to stand on the stage of the finals again and fight Wang Yi again.
At the same time, he also knew in his heart that Wang Yi was working hard today and must crush the Bucks.
In the next round, the Kings attacked again. Seeing that Holiday was still defending him, Wang Yi opened his hand and asked Paul for the ball.
Originally, this teammate had already moved out of position.
James dropped to the low post to misplace Middleton. This was a good opportunity.
There is no space in front of Wang Yi, so Paul does not intend to pass the ball to him, but Wang Yi must be very determined to get the ball.
"Give me the ball!"
Seeing that Paul seemed unwilling to give it to him, he wanted to pass the ball to James.
Wang Yi suddenly became angry and roared: "Give me the damn ball!"
Paul couldn't help but be stunned.
James was also stunned.
They all know that since Paul joined the team, Wang Yi has respected Paul both on and off the court.
Even at the beginning of the season, in order to integrate Paul into the team, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his number of shots and constantly gave the ball to Paul.
This was the first time I saw Wang Yi yelling at Paul.
And with Paul's strong personality in his life, when he saw a junior yelling at him like this, he would probably have become angry.
However, to James's surprise, although Paul was embarrassed, he finally gave the ball to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi faced Holiday and began to change directions from behind.
Holiday took a slight step forward.
When Wang Yi suddenly lowered his body and tried to break through him, his hand suddenly stretched out, and when the two sides seemed to be in reasonable contact, he directly pinched Wang Yi.
Wang Yi has studied this guy's game videos and naturally knows that this guy is very dirty.
So when he stretched out his hand to twist himself, Wang Yi also twisted his ribs with his backhand.
Holiday couldn't help but let out a scream.
Wang Yi's pinching was completely out of revenge, so he pinched her even more vigorously.
After twisting Holiday, Holiday subconsciously retracted his hand and wanted to jump away, but Wang Yi would not allow him to let go.
Taking advantage of the situation, he took his left hand back. His left hand was already linked with Holiday's left arm, and Wang Yi took action instantly when their arms were intertwined.
Although he and Holiday were so confused that they both lost their balance, he still threw the ball before losing their balance.
In the end, the basketball entered the basket steadily without even a stumble.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.
Wang Yi casually glanced at Holiday, who was sitting on the ground, and then turned and left.
He didn't even bother to speak to him, let alone laugh at him.
Such a small character is not worthy of his ridicule.
However, Holiday saw what Wang Yi meant.
This made him feel even more humiliated.
When your opponents are too lazy to taunt you, you can see how far you have gone.
At this time, Bucks coach Budenholzer quickly requested a timeout.
When the players came off the court, most of the Kings players were beaming with joy. They beat the Bucks 10:3 at the beginning of the game today. Compared with the previous game, this game was really satisfying.
However, Paul's face was a little dark.
He didn't high-five the players and just sat down on the chair.
James was keenly aware of this and signaled to Wang Yi next to him.
Wang Yi saw the look in James's eyes and naturally understood what he meant.
He came to sit on the chair next to Paul and handed Paul a bottle of water.
Paul did not pick him up immediately.
Wang Yi stretched out his right hand and put his arm around Paul's shoulders:
"Brother, I'm sorry for my attitude just now. It's not directed at you, but just now I thought I was 100% sure that I could hit the shot over that guy, so I was a little anxious when I asked you for the ball. Regarding my attitude,
Chapter completed!
