The five players from the Kings quickly surged into the frontcourt like a tide.
Five people ran out with the momentum of thousands of troops.
The five players on the 76ers team couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
I thought these five guys didn't look like they were here to play ball, but rather they seemed to be here to fight hard.
After Hilde dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he handed it to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi faced Seth Curry's defense and refused to play three-pointers with him.
Seth Curry is only 1.88 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms.
Not as tall as Wang Yi, not as strong as Wang Yi.
Facing such an opponent, Wang Yi used half his speed and half his body.
After a simple change of direction, he had already passed half of Seth Curry.
Then he leaned against him with his left shoulder and thrust inwards.
Seth Curry wanted to catch up, but Wang Yi was leaning on him and he was unable to make effective defensive moves.
After Wang Yi entered the inside lane, there was a sudden emergency stop.
Just pull it up and cast it.
Seth Curry was too close to Wang Yi, and Wang Yi suddenly stopped unexpectedly. His body failed to stop and he hit Wang Yi's left shoulder.
Wang Yi tilted his body in the air and exerted force on his waist and abdomen for a second time to forcibly stabilize his upper body.
His right hand shook slightly.
With a soft touch, he sent the ball into the basket.
Di——
The referee's whistle sounded at the same time.
Foul by Seth Curry.
Wang Yi added a free throw.
Seth Curry shook his head helplessly.
When he looked at Wang Yi, he also had a helpless smile on his face.
Frankly speaking, if it were him, it would be almost impossible to score this ball when he was knocked out of balance.
But Wang Yi relied on his strong waist and abdominal strength to forcefully score the ball.
"You are strong!"
Seth Curry stood on the penalty area line and said to Wang Yi on the free throw line.
Wang Yi was not affected at all. After receiving the ball from the referee, he took action casually.
Hit easily.
Then he looked at Seth Curry: "You're right."
Seth Curry once again shook his head helplessly.
When he said that, half of it was sincere, and the other half was because he wanted to influence Wang Yi's psychology.
Obviously, he failed.
Next, the 76ers attack.
Relying on Embiid's strong attack under the basket, he not only scored 2 points, but also caused a foul from Holmes.
The moment Embiid scored, Hield had already crossed the line.
Wang Yi quickly pushed the ball to Hield.
Hield immediately sent the ball to Wang Yi.
During this process, several other players on the Kings team were already running towards the frontcourt like the wind.
Wang Yi held the ball and ran forward to the frontcourt as quickly as possible.
After systematic training, his speed has reached the top of the league.
Even when advancing with the ball, at full speed, it is faster than ordinary players.
After the coach's emphasis just now, the Kings players increased their speed by a few points.
This time, although other 76ers players returned to defense very quickly.
But Embiid's height and weight are there after all.
Even for his height and tonnage, he is already very flexible.
But all the Kings players are shorter than him and weigh much less than him.
Therefore, it is naturally difficult for him to catch up with the Kings players.
As a result, the Kings' frontcourt formed a five-on-four situation in a short period of time.
Wang Yi dribbled past two people and attracted a lot of defensive attention, then turned his right wrist outward.
The ball was easily delivered to Bagley who was outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side.
After Bagley caught the ball, he quickly took action without any defense.
Whoosh!
Accurate basketball shooting.
At this time, Embiid had just crossed the center line.
In the next few rounds, the two teams followed this routine.
Embiid is unstoppable when attacking.
Bagley and Holmes have physical talents, but they are still a bit behind Embiid in terms of strength.
And Embiid's steps around the basket are very solid.
Even though the two of them were constantly double-teaming, Embiid was able to rely on his strong strength and solid footsteps to constantly dodge the two of them and score the ball.
Finally, at the sixth minute of the first quarter, Holmes had committed his second foul.
The head coach had no choice but to take him off the field.
Originally, when Holmes came off the court, the Kings were supposed to have TT Thompson come on as a substitute.
But Thompson doesn't know why. It's been almost a month since the regular season started, but he still hasn't reported to the team.
Always tell the general manager that he has some personal matters.
Without Thompson as a substitute, the Kings coach did not dare to let the rookie center come on as a substitute.
So we had to let Mitchell play.
In this way, the Kings play a lineup of one large and four small.
The first is Bagley;
The four juniors are Wang Yi, Mitchell, Hield and Barnes.
The characteristic of this lineup is its extremely high mobility.
Needless to say, every speed of the fourth child is just right.
Bagley, on the other hand, has excellent physical fitness.
Among people over 2.10 meters tall, his speed is very fast.
Such a lineup can start running and blasting at a speed so fast that it can fly.
And with such a lineup, all five players can shoot three-pointers.
Standing on the three-point line is a threat.
Therefore, if this lineup comes into play, it will be the end for the opponent.
Of course, this lineup also has shortcomings.
That's rebounding.
Only Bagley is as tall as Bagley inside, and Bagley is much less physically strong than Embiid.
Basically, the rebound is equivalent to giving up to others.
This is trading rebounds for speed.
Whether this change is good or bad depends on the players' on-the-spot performance.
If the Kings have a high shooting percentage, this exchange is very worthwhile.
But if the Kings don't feel good, switching like this would be suicide.
Soon, Embiid hit a free throw - for a big man, his free throw shooting rate this season has reached 89%, which is really outstanding.
But the moment he just made the free throw, Mitchell had already crossed the baseline.
At the same time, Bagley was already running towards the frontcourt the moment Embiid took action.
This is the coach's intentional arrangement.
Among the five players on the Kings, Bagley is the slowest.
So the Kings simply gave up the rebound and let him go directly to the fast break.
In this way, the Kings can quickly form a five-on-four situation in the frontcourt.
This is indeed the case.
After Mitchell crossed the baseline, he passed the ball to Hield.
As Hilde rushed forward with the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Wang Yi.
After Wang Yi dribbled the ball past half court, all five Kings players had passed half court.
The 76ers also had four players pass halftime.
But Embiid has not yet crossed the halfway line.
Taking advantage of this opening, Wang Yi quickly passed the ball to the unguarded Mitchell.
Mitchell jumped high and shot a three-pointer.
Whoosh!
Basketball hits steadily.
Mitchell turned around, pointed at Wang Yi who was passing the ball, and shouted: "Good pass, boss!"
Wang Yi shook his head slightly.
For some reason, he always felt that Mitchell seemed a little hostile to him before.
But from one day onwards, I suddenly felt a bit like a dog-licker towards myself.
Chapter completed!
