387 The Massacre Begins!
Wang Yi needed a massacre to vent his suppressed emotions these days.
He wants to prove through a massacre that he is still the same Wang Yi, even a stronger Wang Yi than last season.
During the break, all the Kings players were very excited.
It only took one quarter to turn a 20-point deficit into a 7-point lead.
In other words, they defeated their opponents by 27 points in a single quarter.
This is quite an exaggeration.
The team members high-fived each other and encouraged each other.
I plan to keep up the good work in the 4th quarter and win this battle.
However, head coach Luke Walton is not so optimistic.
He did not explain any tactics to other players, but asked Wang Yi: "They will definitely focus on you in the fourth quarter. What are you going to do?"
Wang Yi smiled: "I have already thought about this."
Then he waved to all his teammates and asked them to come closer.
“We played run and gun in the fourth quarter!”
All teammates looked at Wang Yi in confusion.
After all, they had never fought a run-and-gun game before.
Luke Walton also frowned: "We have never practiced run-and-gun, and it is too risky to use run-and-gun tactics rashly. You should know that run-and-gun tactics not only require running, but also require a lot of interspersed running when running.
Bit. We haven’t practiced this at all.”
Wang Yi nodded: "I know you haven't practiced before. What I mean is that as long as I run, I will have a chance to shoot - especially a three-point shot. As long as you give me a chance, I can lead everyone to win!"
"
Wang Yi said this last sentence decisively, and he glanced at all the players.
Show them your confidence and firm belief with your eyes.
As long as his teammates saw his eyes, they would have no doubt about the authenticity of his words.
Wang Yi continued: "What everyone has to do is actually very simple, run up and give me the ball."
"Whether they score a goal or they miss a shot. Whether it's a baseline ball or a sideline ball? Whether they can initiate a fast break or not, everyone has to run. As long as we run, we can create a huge sense of pressure for them.
, then they will be in chaos, and once they are in chaos, we will have a chance."
Wang Yi’s analysis was very clear and logical.
The players nodded.
Especially Mitchell was the first to stand up and say: "Wang is right, I support him."
Mitchell is an important firepower on the bench.
So even though he is a substitute, he actually still has some say in the team.
Other players also expressed their support for Wang Yi.
The situation now is completely different from that at halftime.
They trailed by 20 points at halftime.
Now under the leadership of Wang Yi, they have not only filled the pit they dug before, but also surpassed their opponents by 7 points. They have a little more trust in Wang Yi than they did at halftime.
Head coach Luke Walton heard Wang Yi’s analysis.
He frowned without any trace.
In his view, tactics that have never been practiced before, even if you talk about them as fanciful, are just words on paper.
This is exactly xj8d.
However, as a head coach, you cannot directly deny the leader of a team - even if Wang Yi is only a leader on the surface, he has not yet gained the 100% trust of the players in a true sense.
But you also have to give this leader face.
What's more, this leader just led the team to complete a 20-point reversal in a single quarter.
If you go against the leader at this time, your status as a coach in the team will plummet.
If he has any questions, he will be communicating with Wang Yi after this game is over.
Meanwhile, at the Timberwolves rest area.
Their coach, Chris Finch, combed his hair with his fingers and emphasized to all the players:
"They are not terrible. It's just that we didn't attack well just now. We didn't score a point for three minutes."
"Then we just need to attack well."
"Edwards, we played a little too casually just now. From now on, we have to show the spirit of our previous games and show our characteristics."
"The reason why we won the first few games was because the pick-and-roll between you and Towns was so powerful, but I didn't see the pick-and-roll between you at all in this quarter."
"You two are both the number one draft picks, and your abilities are obvious to all. If you two can work together and unleash your power, it will make everyone tremble. Do you understand?"
Wentz and Towns both nodded heavily.
Towns was the No. 1 pick in 2015 and averaged 19 points per game last season.
Edwards is the No. 1 pick in 2020 and averaged 19 points per game last season.
This season, as the two have become more mature in the pick-and-roll, their scores have increased.
Towns averaged 23 points in the previous five games.
Edwards was even more exaggerated, scoring 27 points.
The two can average 50 points per game together.
This shows how powerful this pair is in pick-and-roll situations.
Sure enough, this Chris Finch is an offensive coach.
When he encounters problems on the court, he seeks solutions more from the offensive end rather than the defensive end.
Soon, the break ended and players from both sides took the field.
The moment Timberwolves coach Chris Finch saw Wang Yi still on the court, he not only cursed Farke secretly in his heart.
Doesn't this guy take a break?
He knew that the reason why the Kings were able to play that kind of offense was because they concentrated the ball in Wang Yi's hands.
I thought that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wang Yi would rest off the court, so that the Timberwolves could take the opportunity to catch up or even overtake the score, but in the end, this guy didn't take any rest.
Damn it!
After the first quarter, the Kings attack first.
Of course, it's impossible to afford a fast break right from the start.
Kings players habitually take their time getting into position.
But Wang Yi has already started running first.
At the same time, he shouted to his teammates while running: "Run, run."
Only then did the teammates remember Wang Yi’s instructions just now and started running along with them.
They followed Wang Yi's running rhythm at very fast speeds, and some even ran aimlessly.
But in this way, it caused a huge sense of psychological pressure on the Timberwolves players.
They were stunned, and Wang Yi had already received the ball from outside the three-point line.
This time, Edwards was a little distracted.
Wang Yi jumped directly.
But at this moment, Downs had already pounced on him.
Towns is tall and has long arms. If Wang Yi continues to take shots, he will definitely be blocked.
However, Wang Yi is also extremely adaptable.
Seeing that he was about to be blocked by Towns, he did not take action with the ball in his hand.
Instead, he collected the ball slightly.
Chapter completed!
