Chapter 1685 The Kings’ defense buried alive
Xiao Qiao faked a shot and caused Doug a foul.
Doug, who always likes to rely on others to make fouls, also suffered a loss from Xiao Qiao.
This is the characteristic of Xiao Qiao. When the opponent is very tough, he will not confront the opponent head-on, but will use various methods to cause the opponent to foul.
When he was with the Kings, he relied on this trick to help the Kings overcome several difficulties in the playoffs.
Now facing Brother Dao, he used this trick again.
After Xiao Qiao stood on the free throw line, he made two free throws.
Wang Yi directly spat out trash talk at Doug:
"My little brother can torture you, so why are you talking to me about betting on defense, that's all?"
After hearing Wang Yi's trash talk, Brother Dao's mood did not fluctuate at all, but Xiao Qiao panicked.
"Hey, hey, boss, please don't talk trash to him, he will take it out on me, and you are hurting me!"
Wang Yi chuckled: "Yes, I am just harming you."
Xiao Qiao was speechless.
Next, due to Wang Yi's stimulation, Doug indeed stepped up his defense against Xiao Qiao.
Moreover, all kinds of obstacles and stumbling blocks have been put in place.
Xiao Qiao was unable to move even an inch under Doug's defense.
He thought he was the league's top center, considered very strong, but now he seems to be nothing compared to Dog.
In fact, Xiao Qiao didn't know that Morant was more difficult than him.
Not to mention Wang Yi, Morant couldn't catch the ball at all. Even if he occasionally caught one, he would either be intercepted by Wang Yi with a backhand, or he would be blocked by Wang Yi.
Even the rare few shots made in front of Wang Yi were all in vain.
Morant felt strange when he took a shot in front of Wang Yi. In the past, when he took a shot, he felt that it would go in, but today he clearly felt that his shot could go in, but it would always miss by an inch or two inexplicably.
The weirdest thing is that once he got the ball in half court and started a fast break, Wang Yi was still 4 meters away from him. Although when he went to the basket for a layup, Wang Yi chased behind him to block the shot, but
Obviously it's too late.
As a result, his unguarded layup actually went up.
This is fucking outrageous.
In the end, Morant didn't score a point after playing 7 minutes in the third quarter.
Even if he didn't score a point, what's even more outrageous is that as a point guard, he didn't send any assists in these 7 minutes.
As a result, the Grizzlies' two core players, Morant and Joe, are locked up by Wang Yi and Dao.
Danny tightly guarded the opposing small forward;
As for little Danny, despite his short stature, his defensive ability is not bad. Once he gets into the arms of the opposing shooting guard, the shooting guard will have trouble even dribbling, let alone breaking through and scoring.
The Kings' suffocating defense left the Grizzlies at a loss for what to do.
In the Chinese live broadcast room, Director Zhang looked at the King's defense and praised him repeatedly:
"It's too strong, it's too strong! I can only say that the Kings' defense is too strong. This kind of defense even suffocates us as the audience, let alone the players on the court."
"Those who have never been a professional player may not know that when the opponent's defense is suffocating, it is difficult for people who have not experienced it to understand the huge sense of oppression and suffocation."
As an older generation of players, Coach Zhang advocated defense in his time.
Now that he can see the Kings' defense like this, he is naturally happy.
Yang Yi nodded:
"If I use one word to describe the Kings' current defense, I think it is no longer enough to use suffocation, but burying alive. That's right, burying alive defense!"
Director Zhang also echoed:
"You use the word well, it's a buried alive defense. Let's take a look at the Grizzlies' data under the Kings' defense. The game has been played for 7 minutes so far, and the main Grizzlies leader Morant has 0
There were 4 turnovers. Another main player, Joe, had 4 points and two turnovers. The Grizzlies as a whole only scored 7 points in these 7 minutes."
"And 4 of these 7 points came from free throws. That means in these seven minutes, they only scored once in a sports game."
"The defensive intensity of the Kings can really only be described as being buried alive."
Chinese fans love to hear the commentator praise Wang Yi and the Kings. When they heard the words "buried alive", every one of them became happy:
"Buried alive defense!"
"Well, it's really a bury-alive defense. These Grizzlies players will be buried alive!"
"Look at Morant, his face was livid when he came out of the timeout, didn't he look like he was buried alive?"
Wang Yi led the Kings to limit the Grizzlies' offense through a buried alive defense, but their own offense did not fall behind at all.
With Wang Yi as the starting point, he constantly attacked the Grizzlies' defense.
Coupled with Danny Jr.'s speed, the two of them often run fast breaks. Except for Morant, the Grizzlies can barely keep up.
So after 7 minutes of play, the Kings have completely tied the split.
The Grizzlies coach was off the court at this time. When he saw Morant coming down, his face was ashen and his brows were furrowed. He knew that Morant was a little impatient.
So he said to Morant: "Don't worry, calm down. You sit on the bench and calm down first."
Morant sat on the bench and wiped his face with a towel.
Head coach Jenkins handed him a bottle of water and then said:
"Although the point difference has been tied, their defensive intensity is very energy-consuming. And no one can maintain this defensive intensity for a long time. After playing again, their defensive intensity will definitely slowly decrease.
"
"So don't worry first. Once you see their defensive intensity drop, you can suddenly use your strength."
Morant nodded, and the feather shuttlecock above his head kept shaking as he nodded.
After playing again, the Kings' defensive intensity did decline.
Little Danny, Danny and Tours seemed to be a little exhausted, so they were a little slower on defense.
However, the defensive intensity of Wang Yi and Doug has not decreased at all.
Because the two were making a bet, their defensive intensity actually increased.
After another three minutes of play, Morant didn't score a point and Joe didn't score a point.
Morant glanced at the coach on the sidelines with some resentment.
It is said that the defensive intensity will decrease, but fairy tales are all lies.
The coach was also helpless.
Logically speaking, if any team or any player can maintain such a high defensive intensity for five or six minutes, that is the limit.
After all, you can't stay tight all the time in a game.
Only one piece of relaxation can last for a long time.
However, these two guys seemed to have taken a lot of blood and tonic pills. They had been maintaining such a high-intensity defense, and their physical fitness showed no signs of declining at all.
