242 The Lakers are crazy
Wang Yi has such a spirit.
As soon as he plays, he will inspire his teammates.
His desperation, the defensive pressure he displayed at all times;
He's on the move all the time on offense.
All of these will inspire teammates to be more active and work harder.
Coach Vogel is a bit over the top.
Wang Yi will always turn a game that he plans to give up strategically into a life-or-death battle, with everyone working hard.
I really don’t know if it’s good or bad to have such a player on the court.
But now that I have reached this point, if I continue to insist on giving up strategically, I will be a loser.
So he called the Lakers players together and began to set up:
"It doesn't matter if the three-pointer is not accurate. Wang just defeated Capela, their best rim protector."
"Next, you can try to attack the inside. Just go for Knight. It doesn't matter if you can't score. Every time you attack Knight, he will always foul. Just beat him again, and then you can rush in and make a layup.
Score."
"As for the defensive end, it's up to Wang Yi to stalk Trae Young. Others should keep an eye on their own players and don't let them cooperate."
Wang Yi saw the coach starting to lay out tactics, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
To be honest, he was already prepared for Capela's elbow just now.
So when the elbow hit him in the face, he turned away.
So it's not too heavy.
More importantly, this elbow inspired the fighting spirit of his teammates.
Then after taking the field, they will fight with their lives.
Even if they are four bronzes, as long as you fight with your life, you can take them away!
McMillan saw the Lakers' high morale and then looked at the score. By the time Wang Yi made the free throw, the point difference would be only 15 points.
What a big trouble.
Wang Yi returned to the court after dealing with the nosebleed.
Standing on the free throw line.
Still his signature free throw.
After catching the ball, he shot directly without even taking a dribble.
Whoosh!
A steady hit.
Looking back, the Eagles attack.
Wang Yi used the defensive skills of peak Kobe Bryant to cling to Trae Young.
Trae Young is not easy to shoot.
I wanted to run a pick-and-roll, but every Lakers player was acting like crazy.
No longer defending, but biting.
They seemed to have been hanging out on the court before.
But the sudden increase in defensive intensity at this time made the Eagles extremely uncomfortable.
There was a mistake in passing the ball and it was intercepted by Harrell.
The moment he stole the ball, the other four Lakers cheered and ran towards the frontcourt.
Harrell quickly released the ball.
So a rare scene occurred in the Lakers' frontcourt: 4 on 0.
None of the Eagles players returned to the frontcourt, while all four Lakers players rushed to the frontcourt.
In the end, Kuzma dunked easily.
The score difference is 13 points.
Next, the Lakers' defensive intensity continued to increase, and the Eagles' offense failed.
Looking back, the Lakers attack.
Wang Yi was double-teamed.
After he passed the ball, Caruso no longer hesitated to handle the ball as before.
Instead, he held the ball directly into the penalty area without any defense.
In the penalty area, Eagles power forward Knight quickly came to defend.
Caruso's height difference is too far and it is impossible to make the shot.
But he was not afraid.
Just take the ball and go to Knight.
Knight hit Caruso's hand with his long arm, but the referee didn't call it.
The ball flew high.
The Lakers' Wang Yi, Kuzma and Harrell roared again and all rushed to grab the rebound.
Knight alone can't fight against three people.
Harrell got the rebound and immediately dunked it.
But Knight jumped up again and blocked Harrell.
The ball was picked up by Kuzma again.
After Kuzma got the ball, he still ran towards Knight.
The ball was knocked away by Knight again.
But this time, the referee finally called Knight a foul.
"Wow——"
This goal instantly lifted the atmosphere at the scene.
The fans stood up excitedly.
"This is like the Lakers!"
"This is the kind of momentum you want!"
"You can lose the ball, but you can't lose the momentum."
Seeing this, Round-faced Bill finally cheered up:
"Yes, this is the game we want to watch! They were lifeless before, like sleepwalking. Now they finally wake up!"
Square-faced Stu's eyes sparkled with excitement:
"All this comes from Wang Yi, who inspired the Lakers' fighting spirit. This is not the first time we have seen him inspire his teammates to fight. That time against the Jazz, that time against the Nuggets, and today
This time, he seemed to be able to inject vitality into the team as soon as he came on the field!"
"Even in a game that was originally about to be abandoned, he was able to lead his teammates off track."
"I guess Vogel also has a headache, hahahaha..."
The two commentators laughed.
Two minutes later, Knight's Wang Yi committed Knight's fifth foul.
Knight was forced off.
The Hawks' two backup big men are average defensively.
The Lakers players immediately went to the basket one by one.
The score difference was chased to single digits.
Although Eagles head coach McMillan called a timeout, he emphasized the need to focus on defense at the basket.
But after returning to the court, their inside line was still beaten to a pulp.
Especially Harrell, who was stimulated and made great progress in the paint.
Dunks, rebounds, blocks, everything.
When the third quarter ended, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 5 points in one fell swoop.
McMillan shook his head repeatedly.
This is really impossible to do.
If you want to prevent Wang Yi from dying, you have to double-team him.
And even if he is double-teamed, he cannot relax, but must double-team him tightly without giving him even the slightest chance.
But in this case, one person from the Lakers team will inevitably be left out.
If I missed it before, I just missed it, and they had no fighting spirit.
But now after being activated by Wang Yi, everyone is full of energy on the court.
Although the three-pointers are still inaccurate, they seem to be doing everything and being able to do everything except three-pointers.
Grab rebounds, kill inside, steal, fast break.
In these few minutes, whoever is missed can quickly perform well.
Make the Eagles miserable.
McMillan could only look at Capela and Knight on the bench.
I hope that after the fourth quarter, the two of them will guard the inside again and the Lakers can calm down a little.
At the same time, here in China.
Since the Lakers were only 7 points behind, the fans became interested.
Without formal channels to watch the game, they flocked to the live broadcast rooms of those small websites in large numbers.
Originally, the number of viewers in the live broadcast rooms of these small websites was usually only 20,000 to 30,000 people at most, but in just a short time, the number had increased to more than 100,000 people.
This made these anchors a little worried while being excited.
