Doug's ball was so powerful that he knocked Zion to the ground.
Many Pelicans players and fans on the sidelines complained to the referee.
But the referee pretended not to see it.
After all, the referee didn't see any foul from his actions.
At this time, Wang Yi saw Doug take the ball and run directly towards the frontcourt.
At the same time, he shouted to Doug: "Dog, pass the ball!"
Doug curled his lips.
Throw the ball directly to the front court: "Chase the ball like a dog, hahahaha!"
Although in American culture, dogs are a symbol of loyalty and a friend of mankind.
So dog is a complimentary word.
But Doug knew Wang Yi specifically. In order to thoroughly understand Wang Yi and defeat Wang Yi, he also studied Chinese culture specifically.
He knew that in Chinese culture, calling a person a dog is a dirty word, so he directly cursed it at this time.
Wang Yi ignored him for the time being, watching the ball flying forward, and quickly ran a few steps to get the ball.
Although Battier Jr. has been chasing Wang Yi closely, Wang Yi's speed is still obviously faster than him while running across the court.
Got the ball two positions ahead of him.
Then take off one step inside the free throw line.
He directly hit a big windmill dunk that has been rare since his comeback.
Two and a half minutes into the game, 14 points scored!
The camera at the scene quickly focused on Wang Yi, and at the same time quickly returned to Doug who passed the ball to Wang Yi.
At this time, Doug gave Wang Yi a thumbs-up gesture from a distance and said at the same time:
"Good dog! Good dog!"
Naturally, Wang Yi also knew that it was impossible for Doug to really give him a thumbs up, and he could tell from Doug's mouth that he was scolding himself.
Wang Yi ran back to the backcourt and scolded Doug directly as he returned to defense: "You should know that your name in Chinese literally means dog. You are the real dog."
Doug heard this and laughed: "Then let's take a look at this game to see whether you are more of a dog or me."
When the commentator McGrady saw this, he said a little strangely:
"He said Wang Yi is a good dog. He got the ball like a dog chasing a Frisbee."
Jordan was not that familiar with Chinese culture and said: "It's rare that this guy would praise Wang Yi. In my impression, he is not that kind of person."
McGrady shook his head and explained: "No, no, no, in Chinese culture, dog is a derogatory word, which is mean and despicable. In China, there are "dogs looking down on people", "watchdogs", "dog things", these are all
Swearing words.”
After all, McGrady has played in China and knows this.
Jordan burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Looking at the two people on the court who were still talking trash to each other:
"It makes sense. He passed a good ball to Wang Yi, but the two of them were trash-talking each other. Just like in the last game, Wang Yi kept feeding Doug the ball, but the two of them kept trash-talking each other.
Trash talk.”
"This is a really strange pairing."
It's the Pelicans' turn to attack.
Zion failed to score the goal just now, and now he plans to try again.
As a result, when he pressed the ball hard, Doug used a move to remove the chair.
But Doug’s car chair is different from ordinary people’s car chairs.
Normally, when a player withdraws, he only takes a step back, causing the offensive player to lose focus.
Doug's Cheerilee took a step back and at the same time quietly pulled Zion's arm with one hand.
Originally, Zion was pressing in hard, but at this time, not only was Doug dodged him, but he also grabbed his arm and fell to the ground immediately.
The ball in his hand also fell out.
The moment the ball dropped, Wang Yi ran towards the frontcourt.
After Doug got the ball, he threw it forward again.
Wang Yi caught the ball and tried to lay up, but the Pelicans' Battier Jr. had already chased him back.
Wang Yi immediately made a behind-the-back pass to Mane who was following up.
Mane made an easy layup.
The camera then shows Doug, the key figure in this ball.
Doug once again gave Wang Yi a thumbs-up gesture and said:
"Good dog, good dog, good dog."
Wang Yi turned over and continued to talk trash to Doug:
"As a dog, you should also learn culture. Just a few words over and over again are so rubbish. You have to be a motivated dog, a cultured dog, not a rubbish dog."
This once again made everyone marvel at this strange pairing. They obviously cooperated very well, but in the end, the two kept talking trash to each other.
At this time, Rondo had to request a timeout again.
They have been beaten by the Kings several times in a row.
The most important thing is that their Zion played completely disorganized when facing Doug.
They thought they had developed a way to deal with Doug, but they didn't know that Doug's playing style had actually been upgraded in the past two years.
After being defeated against Wang Yi many times, he understood that against generally strong players, such as Zion and Arthur, his fierce fouling and tough play were enough.
But this is not enough to deal with Wang Yi.
To deal with Wang Yi, in addition to playing tough and fouling fiercely, you also have to use your brain.
So in the past few years, in addition to his fierce playing style, Doug has also added a lot of elements of playing with his brain, just like this ball just now.
It is naturally impossible for Zion to use Wang Yi's original method to deal with the now upgraded Doug.
During the timeout, Rondo emphasized to Zion: Beware of Doug. In addition to guarding against his violent fouls and his tough play style, you also have to play with his brains.
But playing with your brain is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
So after playing again, it can be said that Zion was completely suppressed by Doug.
In terms of toughness and foul fouling, Zion is not as strong as Doug;
When it comes to avoiding the referee's eyes, Zion is not as good as Doug;
When it comes to playing with your brains, Zion can't even keep up with Doug.
As a result, Zion was completely suppressed by Doug in the entire first quarter.
Looking back at the Kings, Wang Yi has repeatedly made contributions at the three-point line.
The Pelicans have to continue to expand their defensive coverage beyond the three-point line.
As a result, their zone defense was not so tight, and Wang Yi and Doug played high and low coordination several times.
Coupled with the Kings' many fast breaks, the Pelicans' three-two zone defense was finally broken.
Throughout the first quarter, Wang Yi scored 22 points in a single quarter.
And had as many as 5 assists.
And Doug actually scored six points in the first quarter.
And directly locked Zion.
Therefore, at the end of the first quarter, the Kings already led the Pelicans by 11 points.
Of course, Rondo will not sit still and wait for death.
During the break in the first quarter, he emphasized to the players:
"Although Zion can't play here, the rest of us can play pick-and-rolls with each other and look for opportunities outside the three-point line. Don't forget that we are the best three-point team in the entire league. We have the same three-point ability as Curry.
Shooter Guinness and several others are shooting around 40% from three-point range."
