1508 I am the inside defense gate

Golden 1 Center.
Game time: last 16 seconds.
Score: 117:115.
The Kings only led by two points.
In the second game of Wang Yi's return, the winner had to be played to the last second.
This undoubtedly greatly enhances the enjoyment of the game.
NBA president David Silver still came to watch this game.
He was sitting in a dark corner, holding a tablet in his hand and looking at the number of viewers on it.
When he saw that the number of real-time viewers had reached 30 million, he couldn't help but lightly clenched his right fist.
Although it was just a very light clenching of fists, for him who always behaved calmly in front of others, it was enough to show how excited he was at this time.
This guy Wang Yi is really a life-saving elixir.
When he was not in the league, the number of real-time viewers of the Finals was only a few million.
Now, in his second game back in the regular season, the number of views has reached 30 million.
The most important thing is that his game is so intense and entertaining, so he doesn't have to worry about attracting spectators.
It seems that I did not hesitate to lose face and endure the abuse from the American people, apologize to Wang Yi, and invite Wang Yi back. What a right choice.
At this time, all the spectators at the scene were standing and watching the game.
Their hearts seemed to be in their throats.
The players on the court didn't feel it so deeply, and every one of the players on the bench had sweaty palms.
The Thunder used up their last short timeout.
Their head coach Mark arranged the final attack to the players:
"The last ball, give it to Ryan or Laidlaw."
Ryan has always been known as a three-pointer. Although he didn't show it tonight, it was just because Danny's close defense was too tight, not because his three-point shooting rate was poor.
And Laidlaw also shot 2 of 4 from the three-point range just now.
So giving the last ball to the two of them is undoubtedly the best choice.
At the same time, Mark said to Lederer and Ryan:
"After you two catch the ball, take action when you have the chance."
Then he said to the other three: "After the two of them took the shot, everyone else came to the basket to grab rebounds."
"The basket is our advantage. When we get the rebound, don't pass it out. We immediately attack a second time. Even if we miss the shot, we still have to cause them a foul."
Batman Wayne, Snake and Beast Theodore nodded at the same time.
As for the Kings, head coach D'Antoni is also making arrangements at this time.
His arrangement has two points, one is to defend against three-pointers.
"Their three-pointers, one is Ledlow and the other is Ryan. Danny, you keep an eye on Ledlow, Rose, stick to Ryan. If the two of them are playing a pick-and-roll, you switch defenses."
"I think they will definitely take three-pointers quickly. If they fail to make a three-pointer, they will definitely use their inside advantage to grab rebounds. So our inside defense..."
At this time, Wang Yi, who was leaning on the bench with his head raised and panting, said before head coach D'Antoni finished: "Leave the inside line to me."
Head coach D'Antoni looked at Wang Yi, who was finally turning pale at this time, and asked:
"King, are you sure?"
Wang Yi nodded: "Of course."
Seeing Wang Yi's affirmative answer, D'Antoni nodded.
Finally, he said to Tours and Nabond: "Even so, you can't relax. You must guard the inside with Wang Yi, and at the same time, you must ensure that no fouls are committed."
The two people also nodded: "I understand, coach."
The arrangements for the head coaches of both sides were finalized, and at the urging of the referee, both sides returned to the field.
The Kings' defensive strategy is still Wang Yi, Tours and Bond near the penalty area.
Once someone from the opponent breaks into the penalty area, the three of them can surround them with all their strength.
The Thunder still put their two big men, Serrol and Snake, inside.
As a result, the inside line seems to be quite crowded, and it is obviously impossible to break through.
But the outside line is quite empty.
Ledlow and 3-pointer Yu Ryan ran out of space with a simple screen.
Wayne on the sideline served the ball to Ledlow.
Ledlow feinted a shot from outside the three-point line and passed it to the open Ryan.
Originally this was a perfect opportunity to take a three-point shot, but at this moment he hesitated.
At the last moment, this last shot was the one that decided the Thunder's life or death.
But his three-point shooting tonight was not good, especially under the interference of that damn Danny. He only shot 2 of 9 from three-point range.
And under such a shooting rate, his confidence has been hit.
Now that it was such an important goal, he was a little afraid to take it.
This is a common problem among young players.
Like those shooters who have been practicing on the court for more than ten or twenty years, even if they miss all their previous shots, they will still take the last shot when it is time to take the shot without hesitation.
But if those young players miss the first few shots, their confidence will be hit later, and they will appear a little hesitant when taking shots. They will not dare to shoot such an important life-or-death ball.
It is precisely because of this psychological characteristic of young players that D'Antoni has the guts to be so open on the outside.
Ryan didn't dare to take action and passed the ball back to Laidlaw.
Laidlaw watched this flicker, and seven or eight seconds had passed.
He was also anxious.
After catching the ball, there was a large cross over on the outside.
After pulling back, he took a step to the left, widening the distance from Rose, and then made a three-point jumper.
At this time, the hearts of all the audience were tightly clenched.
Fortunately, Danny also pounced on this ball, and he pounced on it in a timely manner.
Ledlow's shot was also hasty, and the ball went a bit too far.
It hit the front edge of the basket.
It bounced high.
At this time, the two inside players from the Kings, Wang Yi, and the two inside players from the Thunder were competing for rebounds at the same time.
After all, the big snake is taller, has longer arms, and has more explosive power than Bond.
The rebound he grabbed.
However, the ball bounced to the mid-range, which is not his comfort zone.
He tried to pass the ball to Ryan and Ledlow, but at this time Danny and Rose on the outside were stuck in position, and he failed to pass the ball.
So he could only hit the ball again and turn around, trying to shorten the distance from the basket.
But after he turned around, he was about to pick up the ball, but Wang Yi cut it off again.
But the ball accidentally rolled to Serol's feet.
Serol didn't have time to think too much. After picking up the ball, he straightened up and was about to take action.
However, at this moment, Bond next to him just extended his arm and covered the ball with a slight jump.
After all, he is nearly 20 centimeters taller than Serrol and has a longer wingspan, so he had no trouble blocking the ball.
The basketball fell down and fell into Selol's hands again.
After getting the ball, Cyrol shook it three times...
