Since the boss has already said this, Xiao Qiao will naturally not refuse it anymore.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
He understands that the boss is still taking care of him.
If he can beat Antetokounmpo alone, it will be enough to prove to Sacramento fans that the 55 million this summer is definitely worth it.
Antetokounmpo signed a contract this summer with an average annual salary of 79 million.
If Xiao Qiao can beat him alone, it would be 55 million to 79 million, which is extremely cost-effective.
Letting Xiao Qiao, who is as thin as a bamboo pole, take on Giannis Antetokounmpo alone, no one would have dared to think about it before.
The Kings don't have such a tactic, and no other team would arrange such a tactic, because it would be a complete loss of life.
The reason why Wang Yi asked him to play Giannis Antetokounmpo alone was completely impromptu.
Joe has a height advantage over Giannis Antetokounmpo, and his steps around the basket are also very solid.
He also has a mid-range shot and even a good three-point shooting percentage.
It would be feasible in theory for Xiao Qiao to attack Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Xiao Qiao has played in isolation on many other teams' inside posts before.
All have good effects.
It's just that letting him play against Giannis Antetokounmpo alone is something that no one else has ever thought of.
Because asking a thin bamboo pole to hit a Greek monster like Antetokounmpo sounds like a fantasy, but Wang Yi dares to think about it.
At this time, the Kings serve and Wang Yi controls the ball.
When he was controlling the ball in the backcourt, no one came to double-team him in the backcourt like before.
Because according to the latest rules.
Three-point shots from the backcourt can only be made within the last 24 seconds of the first three quarters, and within the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.
Therefore, during this period of time, there is no need to guard Wang Yi in the backcourt.
After Wang Yi dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Irving and Middleton immediately came forward to double-team Wang Yi.
Facing a double team, Wang Yi released the ball early and gave the ball to Xiao Qiao on the three-point line to handle.
At the same time, he waved his hands and directed the other players to spread out and create space.
Let Xiao Qiao fight Antetokounmpo alone.
The commentator on the scene shook his head when he saw this scene.
Van Gundy with Mediterranean hair was surprised:
"Asking Joe to play Giannis in singles? Is this a pre-game tactical arrangement? It is undeniable that Joe does have certain singles ability, but asking him to play Giannis in singles is a bit ridiculous. I will never arrange it.
This kind of play. After all, Giannis was the best defensive team last season."
O'Neill next to him nodded.
"Indeed, asking Joe to hit a single letter is like hitting an egg against a stone. It will totally cost someone his life. But I think this is definitely not D'Antoni's idea."
The footage of the conversation also showed D'Antoni.
I saw D'Antoni standing on the sidelines at this time, also extending his hands to Wang Yi.
His whole person seemed like a big question mark.
what?
Let Joe play against Giannis in singles?
Wang Yi, did you forget to take your medicine when you went out today?!
O'Neal said: "It seems that this is not the arrangement of the coaching staff, but Wang Yi's impromptu idea."
Next to him, Van Gundy shook his head again: "Wang Yi is too risky. He can create miracles, but not everyone is like him. After all, 99.99% of the world are ordinary people."
Here in China.
Neutral commentator Xu Jingyu saw Wang Yi's pass and couldn't help but slap the table.
The coke on the table fell to the side because of this slap.
The coke inside was spilled on the keyboard.
Xu Jingyu was even more annoyed and couldn't help shouting: "Oh, what the hell is this? Brother Yi, don't give it to Xiao Qiao. His small body is like a fire stick. If you fight Antetokounmpo alone, it's not free."
That doesn’t belong.”
on site.
After Joe got the ball, Antetokounmpo was naturally there to defend him.
Xiao Qiao wavered on the three-point line.
Antetokounmpo knew that Xiao Qiao was good at three-pointers, and also knew that Xiao Qiao didn't dare to hit him in the paint, so he didn't think it was a fake move and jumped up to block the shot.
At this time, Xiao Qiao shook Antetokounmpo and dribbled toward the inside.
He is not fast.
Start dribbling from outside the three-point line and break through in three slow steps.
After Antetokounmpo was shaken to the ground, he was one step away from Xiao Qiao.
But the letters didn't panic at all.
With his speed and jumping, he can definitely catch up with Xiao Qiao.
When Xiao Qiao took his second step, Antetokounmpo had already taken off, waiting to catch up with him in the air.
But why can three steps slow be called three steps slow?
Because the rhythm of a slow three-step layup is not on the same level as ordinary people.
According to the layup rhythm of ordinary people, he has already jumped into the air on the third step. Antetokounmpo can take advantage of the situation and hit him with a big block.
But Xiao Qiao took three steps slower. At this time, he had just landed on the second step and had not yet risen on the third step.
Antetokounmpo suddenly flew over his head and flew out of the baseline.
At this time, Xiao Qiao picked the basket slowly and unhurriedly.
Easy hit.
Antetokounmpo couldn't help but clenched his fists and cursed "Fake".
This is the characteristic of three steps slow.
He's often played by a big man who looks slow.
Fast players feel that it is not easy to defend him, but his rhythm is very strange. Often you run in front of him before he takes action.
Looking back, Wang Yi and Xiao Qiao high-fived.
At the same time, he asked with a smile: "How does it feel to challenge Antetokounmpo alone?"
Xiao Qiao nodded excitedly: "Very happy."
Wang Yi pointed in the direction of Giannis Antetokounmpo and said: "You are very happy. Giannis Antetokounmpo is so angry that his teeth are itching now."
Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "Then he should go to the dentist."
The on-site commentator Van Gundy couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this scene:
"I didn't expect that Joe would dare to fight against Giannis, which surprised me. But we saw that he shook Giannis with this ball. It was obviously a lucky ball. Giannis underestimated the opponent and underestimated him too much.
He hit me, and he took the opportunity to hit me."
Xiao Qiao's single against Giannis Antetokounmpo this time did not surprise the audience, it just made everyone a little surprised.
They all thought it was just a lucky ball.
Since Xiao Qiao scored the goal, he was also very effective on the defensive end.
Next, he and Wang Yi jointly contained Antetokounmpo's attack in the interior.
Another wave of defense against the Bucks.
Looking back, when the Kings were attacking, Wang Yi said to Xiao Qiao:
"I'll reward you with one more."
At this time, Xiao Qiao had gained some confidence. After hearing Wang Yi's words, he immediately asked Antetokounmpo in the low position with his back.
Antetokounmpo couldn't help but feel a little angry.
You just scored a lucky goal by chance, and you really thought you were good.
He actually wanted to hit him in the low post.
Chapter completed!
