In the commentary box in the stands, Ke Fan asked a question:
"The Lakers seem to be in some trouble. Can Mr. Yang help them think of a solution from the Lakers' perspective?"
Yang Yi laughed twice: "Professional coaches can't do anything, what can I do? But we can try to analyze it. Now the Warriors suddenly use a pass-and-cut style, which makes the Lakers unable to defend at all. Someone
You might think that if the Lakers just move faster and keep up with them, they can guard them?"
"This is obviously too naive. The Warriors don't just pass and cut. They will have many, many screens when cutting, so you can't keep up with them."
"So I think the best way for the Lakers is to attack."
Ke Fan said: "Is the best defense the best defense?"
Yang Yi nodded: "Although this sentence is not completely accurate, for the current Lakers, the best way they can do is to attack. They cannot prevent the Warriors' pass-cut cooperation.
The Warriors also had trouble with their pick-and-roll."
Ke Fan asked: "So they won't be able to decide the winner until the last moment?"
Yang Yi nodded: "I think so."
In the Lakers dugout, Vogel glanced at Wang Yi.
I saw Wang Yi sitting on a chair and panting after taking a few drinks of water.
The short, flat hair soaked with sweat looked like water-soaked steel needles piercing the sky.
Obviously, Wang Yi spent a lot of money.
In such a high-intensity confrontation, Wang Yi did not rest for a minute in the third quarter, so he was naturally very exhausted.
"Wang, would it be a problem if you were allowed to play the entire fourth quarter?"
This actually means that Wang Yi will not have a minute's rest in the entire second half.
Wang Yi took a few breaths and shook his head: "No problem."
Vogel said to James again: "LeBron, you only have two minutes to rest in the fourth quarter."
James also nodded.
He glanced at Wang Yi and nodded in imitation of Wang Yi: "No problem."
That's what the playoffs are like.
Although the level of competition is much higher than in the regular season, each coach has begun to play hard with the main players.
Because you can't make mistakes in the playoffs. Once you make a mistake, the opponent will catch your mistake and infinitely magnify the consequences of this mistake.
The level of substitute players is naturally not as high as that of the main players, and they are also prone to making some mistakes on the court.
Therefore, most coaches will increase the playing time of their main players in the playoffs.
In their prime, James and Durant often even played 48 minutes.
This year, because James is one year older, his average playing time has dropped to 28 minutes per game in the regular season.
But in the playoffs, this number quickly climbed to 36 minutes.
Even the Bucks coach who pays great attention to protecting his players.
In the regular season, Antetokounmpo was only allowed to play 26 or 7 minutes.
But in the playoffs, this number also climbed to 38 minutes.
Nash, the head coach of the Nets, frequently lets Harden play 40 minutes.
Now that the Lakers no longer have thick eyebrows, James and Wang Yi's playing time will naturally be higher.
After the timeout, both sides continue to play.
When Ke Fan saw that Wang Yi was still on the court, he was slightly surprised: "Brother Yi, are you planning to play the entire second half?"
Yang Yi said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The thick eyebrows are no longer there. James is getting older and must be given a certain amount of time to rest. Now facing a super strong team like the Warriors, the Lakers can only sacrifice Wang Yi's rest time. This is also
It’s enough to show Wang Yi’s importance to the Lakers.”
After returning to the court, the Warriors still adopted a double-team strategy against Wang Yi.
But after playing in the fourth quarter, Wang Yi was in extremely good shape.
Occasionally he can break through when double-teamed by the opponent.
Even if he can't break through, after attracting double-teams, he can quickly pass the ball to the target.
This time, the other Lakers players finally didn't let up.
In the two minutes without James, Pop Kuzma hit a three-pointer.
Harrell succeeded in grabbing offensive rebounds in the paint, and the second attack also resulted in 21.
On the other hand, when the Warriors are resting, their movement and passing coordination are not so smooth.
One goes down and the other goes up.
After two minutes of play, the Lakers led by another 5 points.
At this time, James continued to play.
Wang Yi once again started a pick-and-roll with James, but the pick-and-roll between the two of them was still unsolvable.
The Warriors' offense is still a combination of passing and cutting.
The Lakers still couldn't defend him.
After playing for another two minutes, the score between the two sides was still hovering around 5 points.
Cole was slightly worried at this time.
Logically speaking, the Warriors are stronger on paper than the Lakers.
Now that the thick eyebrow is injured, the Warriors are better than the Lakers.
It should be easy for the Warriors to beat the Lakers.
But if the current situation persists until the last few rounds, it will not be certain who will win and who will lose.
Vogel is worried, too.
If the Lakers continue to only maintain a 5-point lead, then in the last few rounds, these 5 points will not be enough.
We have to find a way to break this deadlock.
Maybe Vogel collected the 7 dragon balls in his dream last night and made a wish to the dragon.
So his wish soon came true.
The Warriors are still playing pass-cut coordination on the court.
Wang Yi kept chasing Curry.
Curry kept running around the inside to get around the screen.
Soon, Curry ran out of Thompson's screen and was instantly open.
Wang Yi forced his way past Thompson and planned to pounce on Curry.
At the same time, Pope, who was originally guarding Thompson, saw that Curry was unguarded at this time, and he quickly pounced on Curry.
At this moment, Wang Yi keenly realized that if he rushed to defend Curry, Thompson would be undefended.
So just as he took a step forward, he suddenly turned around and stood in front of Thompson.
At the same time, Green thought that Wang Yi was going to defend Curry and Thompson would be open, so he had already passed the ball.
Being impartial and impartial just happened to be in Wang Yi's hands.
It was at this moment that James started and quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
Even though he is old, he doesn't seem to be that fast normally.
But when it really hits, it's really unstoppable.
Even though Green kept fighting him with his body on his right side, he still forced himself to carry Green and dunk successfully.
After landing, James raised his arms and showed off his muscles.
A beast-like roar came out of his mouth: "Ah————"
This goal instantly boosted the Lakers' morale.
It's hard for you to imagine that a 38-year-old man could run a long distance, carry Green all the way with his body, and finally be able to carry Green for a dunk.
Even some Warriors fans couldn't help but secretly admire him.
Is this guy really human?
Everyone is impressed by James' physical strength.
Only Warriors coach Kerr was keenly aware of the danger.
Wang Yi clearly pounced on Curry, but suddenly turned around to defend Thompson, resulting in this steal.
Chapter completed!
