As soon as the second quarter started, both sides started a run-and-gun attack, which was called a smooth game.
You enter one, I enter another, you enter again, I enter again, you enter again, I enter again.
Not only do the players feel comfortable playing and the referees feel comfortable, but the spectators on the scene and in front of the screen also feel more comfortable watching.
But the offense of both sides was very smooth, which shows that the defense of both sides was sparse.
The Rockets are only a handful. After all, the three games they have won since the beginning of the season have all been won by offense.
Their goals are not too high, as long as they reach the playoffs.
As long as their offense is smooth enough, making the playoffs is not a problem.
But the Kings are different.
At least Wang Yi thinks this is not possible.
He has already boasted about Haikou. Their goal is the Western Conference Finals. If they rely solely on offense, it is impossible to reach the Western Conference Finals.
So he stood up from the bench and said to the coach: "Timeout, coach."
Head coach Walton saw the signs of the problem and asked Wang Yi with his eyes.
Wang Yi only said one word: "Defense."
The audience at the scene was a little confused, why did the Kings suddenly call a timeout when their offense was playing so well?
Walton called the players together and emphasized defense to them.
This timeout is called an immediate effect.
When the two sides took the field again, it was still a run-and-gun battle.
If you run, I will run; if you hit me, I will hit you.
But the difference is that the Kings also added defense to the run and gun.
Although their defense isn't great, it's still better than nothing.
As a result, after three minutes of play, the Rockets have extended their lead to 8 points.
Seeing that the point difference was about to reach double digits, the Rockets coach deserved to call a timeout again.
And there was only one thing he emphasized during the timeout: running.
As long as they run and get away from the Kings, they can score.
After returning from the timeout, Wang Yi, Hield, Bagley and others have all appeared on the field.
After coming on the court, the Kings served.
After Wang Yi got the ball, he went directly to the frontcourt.
Even though the opponent's five players were all defending in the frontcourt, Wang Yi was like an arrow, piercing into the Rockets' five players' defense.
Although those five people were all defending, they never expected that Wang Yi would dare to break in while all five of them were inside the three-point line, so their reaction was half a beat too slow.
Wang Yi still took off, dodged the blocks of two opponents players in the air, and pulled the lever in a big loop.
Basketball hit the board.
Looking back, Wang Yi shouted angrily at the five Mosaic players: "I'm here to teach you what run-and-gun is!"
At this moment, the five opponents' players were stunned.
The other four Lakers players on the court were also stunned.
The two coaches on the sidelines and the audience were all stunned.
The commentator Napier shook his head repeatedly after being silent for a moment.
"No, no, no, no, this is not true, this is absolutely not true."
"Single-handedly, he forced his way into a 5-man defense. This guy's breakthrough ability is too strong. Even if he is a player of our Kings team, I can't believe this is true."
"His breakthrough ability is definitely the strongest player I have ever seen, bar none."
When Wang Yi passed by Jaylen Green of the Mosaics, he smiled contemptuously.
A very unscrupulous expression and a very unsatisfactory tone of voice.
"Kid, you must be scared. Call your adults."
Jaylen Green had always been calm in his heart before, but this time he was a little agitated by Wang Yi's 1 vs. 5 attack. Now that Wang Yi said this again, his heart became even more angry.
"Damn it, you're going to pay for your actions."
When Wang Yi heard this, he finally turned around.
Looking directly at Jalen Green.
He spread his hands, his expression was still very rough, and his tone was still the same.
"Where's the price? Where's the price? God, please make me pay the price quickly."
Jelenge Lin's psychological defense has begun to loosen.
Next to him, John Wall and the round-faced Gordon pressed on Jaylen Green's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.
"He's trying to piss you off."
"If you get another technical foul, you will be ejected."
After being reminded by these two people, Jaylen Green took two deep breaths and adjusted.
John Wall and Round-Faced Gordon persuaded:
"Maybe you will surpass him in the future, but at least now there is still a gap between you."
"Set up your mentality and play hard. One day you will catch up with him or even surpass him, but at least not now."
After the two veterans persuaded him like this, most of Jaylen Green's anger disappeared.
Then the two sides started running and gunning again.
The two sides faced off against each other in a run-and-gun matchup, and it stands to reason that the Mosaic team should be better.
After all, the Mosaic team has established a run-and-gun strategy since the offseason.
This is what they practiced in training camp before the season started.
In the previous 6 games, they have always adhered to this style of play.
The Kings have just decided on this style of play. They have only practiced it for two days and have never used it in actual combat.
The positions of players when running and gunning often overlap, or the ball is passed to someone but not there.
There were many mistakes and misses.
But while the Kings are running and gunning, they also have defense.
Although their defense is not very good, it is at least much better than the Mosaic team having no defense at all.
Therefore, after the two sides ran and bombed like this, the score difference became deadlocked.
It has been hovering around 5 minutes and 10 minutes.
At the end of the second quarter, the score difference was still 7 points.
In the third quarter, John Wall and round-faced Gordon suddenly broke out.
The two hit three-pointers one after another and instantly evened the difference.
Although Wang Yi also tried to shoot a three-pointer, he tried 4 times in a row and failed to hit it.
He can only continue to break through and get to the basket to score.
And when the opponent strengthened its defense at the basket, he began to score sudden points again.
Break into the inside line and then distribute the ball to the outside line.
The Kings' perimeter has always been competitive.
Bagley hit two three-pointers.
Hield hit two three-pointers and Barnes hit three three-pointers.
As a result, after the third quarter, the two sides were tied at 98:98.
Wang Yi has scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in the three quarters.
When Wang Yi scored his 40th point in the final three minutes of the third quarter, he turned his head and spread his hands towards Jaylen Green.
The expression on his face was almost engraved with the word mockery.
"Who said you should keep my score below 30 points?"
"Kid, if you don't keep your words, you are not a good boy."
"puff……"
Green once again felt like vomiting blood.
It's not that he didn't fight hard and didn't try his best to defend.
However, there is no way to guard against Wang Yi.
He is 6 centimeters taller than Wang Yi.
But in terms of speed, it is slightly behind Wang Yi.
Especially Wang Yi's first step, he really couldn't guard against it.
And when Wang Yi breaks through, he always uses his body to push him away.
He is not as strong as Wang Yi and not as heavy as Wang Yi. There is really nothing he can do against Wang Yi's breakthrough.
The most important thing is that Wang Yi is so good.
Once he breaks into the basket, he does not directly lay up or dunk, but makes many fake moves.
You thought he was going to dunk, but actually he was going for a layup.
You thought he was going for a layup, but in fact he was just faking and didn't take off at all.
You see him take off, and you jump with him, but he pulls the lever, leans back, and changes hands in the air.
Occasionally, he also performs a 360-degree turn in the air.
