When Wang Yi was not on the court, the Kings widened the point difference to 24 points due to Danny's three-point burst.
This made the Lakers coach's calculations come to nothing.
I wanted to take advantage of Wang Yi's absence to close the gap.
As a result, not only were they unable to close the score difference, but the physical energy of their own generals was depleted a lot.
Fortunately, the two captains on our side are both young people, so there is no physical problem at all.
If it really doesn't work, it's okay to let them play for 48 minutes.
In the second quarter, as the Lakers continued to pursue fast breaks, the Kings were unable to defend against the Lakers' fast breaks.
The Lakers were unable to guard against the Kings' inside attack, which allowed the score difference between the two sides to maintain.
At the end of the first half, the Kings led the Lakers by 25 points, 65:40.
This score difference was something no one expected.
And all this stems from Wang Yi's explosion in the paint.
This made the commentators James and Wade on the sidelines praise Wang Yi very much.
James looked at Wang Yi's back as he entered the tunnel, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it. Not long after this guy came back, he actually played at such a high level."
"In the first half alone, I scored 27 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. The most exaggerated thing is that I had as many as 6 blocks."
"Even if you look at the entire situation, this data is quite beautiful."
Wade also nodded: "What a pity. If Wang Yi comes back this year, he will not go to the Kings but to other teams, such as the Spurs, such as Dallas, such as the Grizzlies, no matter which other team he goes to, with his performance
With his performance, he is likely to hit the championship this year."
James asked: "Are you saying that Wang Yi's previous statement that his goal for this year is to win a championship will not be achieved?"
Wade turned to look at James and said:
"You guys, just explain, don't set a trap for me. Wang Yi said that his goal is the championship, there is no problem. I think anyone can say that my goal is the championship, just like I did
The ideal is to surpass Michael. Although it was not realized in the end, at the stage of my struggle, is there any problem with me setting this goal? "
James was discovered and laughed:
"No problem, of course no problem."
"But having said that, Wang Yi's performance in this game really impressed me. Although he performed very well in the first two games, he was unable to crack the Lakers' inside advantage. In this game, he used himself in the inside
The one-pillar powerhouse completely eliminated the Lakers' biggest advantage, forcing the Lakers to abandon their inside line and switch to fast break. In this way, the Lakers and Kings formed a temporary balance."
"Of course, there is also a problem, that is, Wang Yi's style of play consumes too much physical energy. What should he do in the second half?"
Wade also agreed:
"Whether the Kings can go far in the playoffs this year depends on how they solve Wang Yi's physical problem. If Wang Yi's physical problem is not solved, the Kings will ultimately be unable to achieve the goals Wang Yi said."
At this time, Wang Yi returned to the locker room and lay directly on the physiotherapy chair.
Bai Yin gave her massage and physical therapy.
At the same time, the nutritionist next to him handed Wang Yi a few orange slices to supplement vitamins and organic acids.
And oranges can also quickly replenish some physical energy.
This is also the reason why James often ate oranges during timeouts during games.
However, Wang Yi's physical exertion in the first half was too great, and it cannot be recovered by these physical therapy massages and vitamin supplements.
D'Antoni looked at this calmly at this time.
To be honest, he didn't expect the Kings to go far in the playoffs this year.
With the current lineup of the Kings, if they play against the Lakers, who are the favorites to win the championship, winning a game will be considered a bloody gain.
It is normal to be swept 4:0.
The time for the Kings to really shine will be next season, not this season, not now.
So he can accept any result.
Precisely because he can accept any result, he is not thinking of various ways to squeeze Wang Yi's physical fitness.
But he said to the other players:
"Everyone has seen Wang Yi's physical problems, which we cannot solve this season. So in the second half, when Wang Yi's physical strength is exhausted, someone else must step up."
He turned his attention to the other players.
After scanning around, he felt that what he said was indeed a bit too general.
Who other players can step up?
Rose is too old. Even if he does nothing on the court and just runs back and forth until the end of the third quarter, his physical energy will be exhausted.
It is obviously unrealistic to expect any performance from him.
Not to mention Turs and Bond.
Towns is just a blue-collar player, and it is impossible for him to influence the game;
That Bond is too weak, and he won't be able to stand up.
Thinking of this, D'Antoni secretly shook his head.
This is a problem that the Kings cannot solve. Except for Wang Yi and Danny, everyone else is embarrassed.
At this time, on the Chinese Lakers team, their coach Darwin was mobilizing the players before the second half.
His mobilization continues to revolve around the Kings' fitness issues.
He analyzed the Kings' lineup disadvantages and analyzed the physical problems of Wang Yi and Rose.
Finally, he said to the players: "So the second half is when we are close to the score and finally achieve a big reversal, come on, boys!"
His analysis was indeed well-founded, which made the players who were originally depressed feel a little better at this time.
The second half begins soon.
Both sides still showed their main players.
The Lakers still promoted their fast break, and Wang Yi took advantage of the first few minutes of the second half, and his physical fitness could still support it, to kill everyone in the paint.
However, after he played for 5 minutes, his physical problems finally became more and more serious.
Had to take a break.
The score difference at this time is 24 points.
And while he was resting, the Lakers finally got mad.
In terms of perimeter defense, they asked Arthur Wang to defend Danny.
When Arthur Wang defended Danny, he not only defended normally, but also constantly challenged Danny.
Before Danny takes a shot, he must at least be consumed by Arthur Wang's confrontation and disrupt his shooting rhythm.
Just imagine how a skinny figure like Danny could withstand such a confrontation as Arthur Wang, a guy as strong as an ox.
Therefore, Danny's shooting percentage dropped significantly in these few minutes.
Therefore, Danny needs another strong point to attract defense so that he can maximize his effectiveness.
If he is used as the first shooting point and is targeted by the opponent, his efficiency will drop significantly.
On the other hand, the Lakers, after Wang Yi left the game, fully utilized their inside advantage.
Whether it is Thick Eyebrow or Wang Arthur, they are almost in a state of no solution in the paint.
Coupled with the fact that Patton rushed into the paint and dunked from time to time, the Lakers' momentum was greatly boosted, and the point difference was quickly closed.
Only 5 minutes after Wang Yi came off the court, the original 24-point point difference was directly chased down to only 11 points.
At this time, the live footage showed Kings coach D'Antoni.
The point difference has been caught up to only 11 points. Why not replace Wang Yi?
Kings coach D'Antoni was determined to replace Wang Yi, but after taking a look at Wang Yi who was lying on the floor trying to quickly recover his physical fitness, he finally sighed.
Wang Yi is too tired and must be allowed to rest.
At the same time, he glanced at the Kings bench.
Then he took another look at the players on the field.
I sighed secretly in my heart again.
Who can stand up?

Chapter completed!
