Wang Yi and Doug were cooperating while trash-talking each other. This is truly a famous scene in basketball history.
The commentators on the sidelines felt that Monk Zhang Er was confused:
"These two damn guys are playing so well together and have already surpassed the score. Why do the two of them seem to have a deep hatred, and every time they play together, they talk trash to each other for a long time?"
When James, who was far away in Los Angeles, saw this, he also laughed: "Interesting!"
James found it interesting, but Rondo found it a torture.
For those on other teams who work well together, he can always find a way to tear them apart.
But he really couldn't think of any good way to separate Wang Yi and Doug.
Because the tacit understanding between these two people does not follow common sense at all.
How can two teammates keep trash-talking each other on the court and still have such a tacit understanding?
Precisely because the tacit understanding between these two people is a very weird and unconventional tacit understanding, Rondo tried various methods, but could not think of a way to separate the two people.
In the end, the Kings won the game in a strange way that no one could have imagined.
Got a good start.
127:122.
Only won by 5 points.
But this surprised everyone.
Before the game, many people were optimistic about the Pelicans, but only a few were optimistic about the Kings.
Now it's the Kings who have the first victory.
There are two heroes who won this game, one is Wang Yi and the other is Doug.
Wang Yi scored 40 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds.
The Pelicans star Zion who faced him had already scored 38 points at the end of the third quarter, but after the fourth quarter, he only scored 40 points.
In other words, he only scored two points in the most critical quarter, the 4th quarter.
The reason is because Doug played a vital role in his defense.
Doug can be said to have locked up Zion in the second half of the third quarter and the fourth quarter.
This is something no one expected.
The most amazing thing is that Doug scored 18 points in this game.
This is a new high in his NBA career.
Throughout his career, he has been good at defense, but on the offensive end, the most he can do is set a screen and then dunk down;
Or grab rebounds and play one-on-one offense.
It's rare to see him like this tonight, basically treating him as the third point of fire.
After the game, NBA senior expert Wilster wrote a special article:
"The Kings' Weird Way to Win and the Pelicans' Inexplicable Way to Lose"
In the article, he wrote: "I'm not surprised that Wang Yi scored 44 points, but Doug actually scored 18 points in this game."
"A guy who specializes in defense and hasn't played in a game for two years actually scored 18 points in his first game back."
"He became the second contributor to the Kings' victory today."
"Became a cavalryman."
"And this guy who just appeared and Wang Yi's high and low coordination is so skillful."
"When the pressure on the interior defense was high, Wang Yi repeatedly hit mid-range shots in the high post; and when the Pelicans turned their attention to the high post, Wang Yi was able to pass to Doug in the low post."
"Of course we can say that it is because Wang Yi's organizational skills are so good and his passing ability is so strong that ordinary defenders simply cannot pass the ball to the inside under double teams."
"But what surprised me even more was Doug's ability to catch the ball."
"Wang Yi's passing is great, but sometimes before Doug gets a good chance, Wang Yi casually throws the ball inside, and Doug can catch the ball."
"But that's not the most strange thing. The most strange thing is that these two people are obviously so skilled in cooperation, but they keep talking trash to each other on the court."
"What kind of strange combination is this?"
"This is the weird way the Kings win."
"As for the backup team, firstly, they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Doug and the strange methods of him and Wang Yi. Secondly, Zion's performance today was really a bit soft."
"Zion is a giant inside this season. The first three quarters today really showed why he was nicknamed Thanos. But in the second half of the third quarter, when Doug came on the court, Zion
But he was like a good boy, and even dared not dance in front of Doug several times."
"We can say that it is because Doug has a criminal record and has stretched his legs many times, but Zion is too soft. If everyone is afraid of black legs, then all insiders who encounter Doug in the future will just stop moving and stand straight.
Just stand there and let Doug wreak havoc."
"This is the inexplicable way the Pelicans lost."
…
On the Pelicans side, from head coach Rondo to the bench players, everyone felt suffocated.
They can accept losing, but they cannot accept this inexplicable loss.
As the boss of the team, Zion himself also knew that he was very responsible for today's loss, so he took the initiative to take responsibility after the game.
"Today's loss is my own responsibility. I played like a sleepwalker. What I played was a piece of shit, but believe me, I will definitely come back! In the next game, I will definitely let them know what real Thanos is.
!”
What he said was high-spirited and sonorous.
All Pelicans fans are full of confidence and believe that Zion will rebound strongly in the next game.
But only Zion and the head coach knew that he was just talking empty words.
How to solve Doug's problem? We haven't found a solution yet, and neither has the coach.
That night, when other teammates went home one after another, Zion did not go home immediately, but practiced extra in the arena.
Head coach Rondo did not go home immediately, but watched Zion practice from the sidelines.
Both of them were thinking about ways to deal with Doug.
More than an hour later, Rondo suddenly remembered something.
He said: "Do you remember the first time Doug appeared on the scene?"
Zion thought for a while and replied: "Are you talking about him just debuting from the Heat?"
Rondo nodded: "At that time, in the finals, Doug had just made his debut and created a record of three kills. He faced the Kings."
Zion nodded: "I know, at that time, the Heat had a very small chance of winning against the Kings. At this time, Doug appeared and fought with Wang Yi for a long time. Although he lost in the end, Doug still left a deep impression on people.
impression."
Rondo nodded and said: "So how to deal with Doug, I think we can learn from Wang Yi."
Zion's eyes suddenly lit up: "I understand, I will ask the video analyst to compile a video of the game at that time and give it to me."
This is the so-called "learning from the foreigners to develop skills and using the foreigners as teachers".
After all, I don’t know whether Zion can succeed, let’s hear the explanation next time.

Chapter completed!
