During the fast break, Wang Yi did not go for a layup, nor did he choose a mid-range shot, nor did he choose a shot from the three-point line.
Instead, he took action directly as soon as he passed the center line.
As if the coordinates were set in advance, the basketball hit the basket accurately.
Wang Yi turned around and spat trash talk at the group of Pelicans shooters who were chasing him.
"Do you know why I shot in the center circle?"
“Because of Wang Yi’s Law!”
When the Pelican shooters heard this, they were all shocked.
Once upon a time, Wang Yi's three-point shooting from the backcourt was so terrifying that the opponent couldn't defend at all. As long as Wang Yi made a three-pointer from the backcourt, the opponent would be unable to play.
Therefore, in order to limit Wang Yi's power, the alliance issued a rule:
In the first three quarters, you cannot shoot three-pointers from the backcourt before the last 30 seconds.
In the 4th quarter, you can only shoot a three-pointer from the backcourt in the last two minutes.
This is called Wang Yi's Law.
At this time, Wang Yi introduced Wang Yi's Rules to create a collective deterrent to these three-point shooters.
You are known as the most accurate three-point shooting team in the league, right?
Your three-point shooting is very strong, right?
I can make the league change the rules for my three-pointer.
Can you?
With just one goal, Wang Yi once again took the absolute commanding heights in terms of momentum.
In the next few balls, the Pelicans did a good job with three-pointers.
In half a quarter.
Four shooters made 5 of 8 three-pointers.
Any other team would have been defeated by the Pelicans in this quarter.
But Wang Yi is even more exaggerated.
In half a quarter, he made seven of eight three-pointers.
Not only was he not defeated by the Pelicans' shooters who collectively went crazy, but he was allowed to single-handedly defeat the Cavaliers' shooters until they were listless.
Under Wang Yi's exaggerated three-pointer, the point difference between the two sides not only did not narrow, but was now heading towards 30 points.
At this time, the more than 18,500 spectators at the Pelicans were collectively desperate.
We originally expected Wang Yi's physical fitness to drop in the second half and his utilization rate to drop, but there is no downward trend at all.
Pelicans coach Rondo had to let his best defensive players collectively attack Wang Yi.
"You can let others shoot, but you can never let Wang Yi take the shot!"
"Even if he commits a foul, we must prevent him from shooting. We must allow him to make three free throws at the free throw line, but we must not allow him to take a three-point shot!"
Rondo's face was as gloomy as water and he said sternly.
Taking three free throws from the free throw line, even if they all go in, is much better than having Wang Yi hit a three-pointer directly.
After all, continuous three-pointers will frighten anyone, and it will have a huge impact on the team's morale.
So then the Pelicans players launched a multi-person attack on Wang Yi.
When he doesn't have the ball in the backcourt, there is someone keeping an eye on him. As long as he has the ball, there will be double teams in the backcourt.
And when he comes to the frontcourt, he often faces double-teams from three people.
Once Wang Yi shows signs of taking action, the Pelicans will foul Wang Yi at all costs.
In this way, Wang Yi's three points were finally contained.
However, Wang Yi responded quickly.
Seeing that the Pelicans wouldn't let him take three-pointers and often double-teamed him with two or three players, he started passing the ball.
Moreover, Wang Yi's passes are all directed to Doug inside.
He doesn't know whether Verge is stuck in position, or whether Verge's position is better. Anyway, he just throws it inside.
If Doug couldn't pick him up, he would taunt Doug mercilessly.
Of course, Doug is also very competitive. Zion inside is no match for him. His various little tricks and underhand tricks make Ti Zion miserable.
In the end, he always gets the ball and scores over Zion's head.
In this way, the gourd was pushed. Wang Yi's three-pointer was contained, but Zion's inside line was exploded.
Even though Rondo made various arrangements and asked other players to come inside to help Zion defend Doug, but because many people surrounded and suppressed Wang Yi, it was difficult for them to really have anyone go inside to limit Doug with Zion.
At most, there are players hanging around, pretending to double-team Doug, but in fact it's just a show.
In this way, Zion was blown away on the offensive end and also on the defensive end.
In the one-star, four-shooter system that the Pelicans are proud of, one of their stars is directly eliminated, so their four-shooter system will also be self-defeating.
In the end, after the third quarter, the Kings had widened the point difference to 37 points.
When Wang Yi came off the field after three quarters, his physical fitness reached its limit again, and he felt like his heart was going to burst out of his chest.
His lips were white again, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his long flowing hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his face and neck.
Wang Yi sat down on the bench, tilted his head back, put his hands on the backs of the chairs on both sides, and panted. Next to him, Mitchell quickly wiped Wang Yi's face and head with a towel.
After sweating on his face, he fanned Wang Yi with a towel.
An Jiali took a bottle of tea, unscrewed the lid and fed Wang Yi to his mouth.
Wang Yi took two sips and finally felt his energy rising.
After returning to the court this season, he no longer drinks mineral water or Gatorade.
Instead, get a large two-liter bottle for a large cup of tea.
Whenever I take a break, I take a few sips.
After finishing the drink, Wang Yi smacked his lips.
Chinese tea still tastes delicious.
This scene was captured by a reporter who was interested in the matter. As a result, many people on the Internet began to search for what Wang Yi was drinking.
When someone gave the answer that Wang Yi drank tea, many people left comments below.
"Wang Yi seems to be drinking very well. Is it really that delicious?"
"I'm going to buy some to try too."
"I've tasted it and it tastes a bit bitter. I really don't know why Wang Yi likes to drink something like this."
At this time, Tracy McGrady, who was in the commentary box on the sidelines, saw Wang Yi gasping for breath, and he said: "It seems that Wang Yi's physical energy has been exhausted again."
Jordan said helplessly: "But he has done everything he should do."
McGrady nodded: "Yes, he has done everything he needs to do. Now the Pelicans are 37 points behind. Unless a miracle happens in the fourth quarter, it will be 2:0."
Jordan said: "But looking at the way the Pelicans look today, it doesn't look like a miracle is going to happen. To be honest, the Pelicans' shooters really felt very good today. It would be any other strong team in the league to face today."
The Pelicans were all going to suffer a big loss. But Wang Yi, with one person, suppressed the Pelicans' shooters."
"This is the first time this season that we've seen the Pelicans play so hard despite having a good game."
McGrady nodded: "An expert once asked a question: How should other teams respond to the Pelicans who are coming in handy? Today Wang Yi gave a solution: as long as the shots are crazier than the Pelicans."
Jordan smiled and said: "But this solution is only used by Wang Yi. After all, not everyone is as crazy as him."
