Looking at the pretty cheerleaders to calm down is a method Wang Yi used many times when he was with the Lakers.
This trick works every time.
Soon, Wang Yi calmed down.
And when he calms down, any pressure in front of him becomes as light as a weight.
After receiving the ball from the referee, he took the ball directly without any luck, as if he was a free throw in normal training.
…
In a conference room at the Warriors' arena.
All the Warriors players felt their scalps go numb.
"Isn't this guy nervous at all?"
"Even if you're not nervous, at least you have to look serious. You just throw free throws so casually and don't regard it as a key free throw at a critical moment."
At the same time, everyone's eyes once again fell on Stephen Curry.
Curry was speechless: "Look at me again? He was the one who made the free throw, not me."
on site.
Wang Yi made these two free throws.
The two sides tied at 114.
The Lakers used their last timeout in overtime and arranged an alley-oop tactic in which James and Jordan played a pick-and-roll and then passed to Jordan.
After the timeout, their attack started very quickly.
Jordan mentioned going online to cover James.
James took two steps in and was about to hang up to DeAndre Jordan who was following him.
However, when James threw the ball high, Wang Yi suddenly burst out and intercepted the ball.
When James passed the ball, he only considered that Bagley might interfere in the middle, so when he threw the ball, he was able to pass Bagley's fingertips.
However, he didn't expect that at this moment Wang Yi suddenly made a diagonal stab, jumped higher than Bagley, and finally touched the ball.
The basketball was controlled by Mitchell and passed to Wang Yi again.
At this time, there are 28 seconds left.
Kings coach Walton looked at Wang Yi on the sidelines with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Apparently he was asking Wang Yi if he wanted to request a timeout.
The game has reached this point, and the players on the field know their physical condition best.
Do you need to call a timeout to arrange it?
Or just play fast break;
Or have an impromptu collaboration.
For athletes of Wang Yi's level, they know it best.
Wang Yi shook his head at the coach.
No need to call a timeout.
Although his body is very tired, the success rate is not high.
But if a timeout is called, it will give the Lakers a breather.
Especially giving James and Westbrook, two veterans, a chance to breathe is tantamount to digging your own grave.
That way the gains outweigh the losses.
So he chose to advance directly with the ball.
But this time the Lakers did not defend like the last time in the 4th quarter, taking it for granted that the Kings would request a timeout.
So their retreat was very fast.
When Wang Yi came to the frontcourt, they had already retreated to within the three-point line.
Wang Yi took a deep breath and slowly dribbled the ball.
At the same time, he waved his left hand to all the Kings players, signaling everyone to pull away, and he wanted to do it alone.
This is a player's strong self-confidence.
In the last attack of the second overtime, any player who can make others pull away from him and go it alone is not full of almost blind confidence in himself.
At this time, James came to Wang Yi.
In such a critical round, he has to guard against Wang Yi.
Wang Yi faced James and took two steps back, stepping on the Lakers logo.
Then it started to slowly change direction.
With 4 seconds left on the attack time, he suddenly dribbled to the left.
Moreover, the dribbling range is extremely large, and his left hand is almost at the same level as his shoulder. After the basketball bounces, it floats in the palm of his left hand.
The next moment, there was a huge change of direction, and the ball was handed to the right hand.
It’s still Iverson’s death in disguise!
In such a high-intensity game, after two overtimes, Wang Yi was able to make such a rapid and drastic change of direction, which is really amazing.
After all, James is old and his physical energy was on the verge of exhaustion after two overtimes.
Due to this change of direction, he was thrown away by about two meters.
After Wang Yi changed direction, he took a few steps inward.
When you get to the free throw line, you have to use a mid-range jumper.
Under the current circumstances, mid-range is his greatest offensive method.
But at this moment, Westbrook had already stepped in to defend.
Wang Yi had to use a prayer to deceive Westbrook, and at the same time took a step to the right, and then leaned back and shot.
But at this moment, at the moment when the basketball was about to leave my hand.
A black, thick arm with tattoos suddenly stretched out from behind him.
Those big hands, like iron pliers, pressed firmly on the basketball.
Wang Yi only felt a huge force coming from him and scooped the ball up.
Wang Yi suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
At the same time, he stumbled and almost fell.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, turned around slightly, and put his hands on the floor.
"Wow——"
All the fans in the Staples Center suddenly became excited.
The owner of this thick, black arm is none other than LeBron James.
Another key block at a critical moment.
This block will inevitably remind people of his death block!
At this point, there are only the last 4 seconds left.
The Lakers didn't take a timeout.
After James took the ball from Wang Yi's hand, he was like a bull that lowered its head and charged.
His legs kicked hard against the floor.
Accelerate quickly.
You can see from his accelerated pace how strong he is when he kicks on the ground.
Almost every step forward, his speed will increase by half.
At this time, all the spectators were standing and watching the ball.
All the audiences around the world were so nervous that they were almost suffocated.
And all the Chinese fans felt their hearts sinking.
There is no Kings player blocking James in front of him.
This is completely free for James.
However, just when everyone thought James was going to kill the Kings in the last 4 seconds.
4 meters behind James.
After being blocked by James, Wang Yi fell to the ground and his center of gravity was unstable.
He put his hands on the ground, almost lying on the ground.
But this happens to be the starting position in a 100-meter race.
At this moment, he saw James going to the Kings basket to kill the Kings.
In a desperate situation, his entire potential in reaction speed, explosive power, body balance, etc. seemed to be stimulated.
Stomp your left foot hard on the ground.
The strong calf muscles transmit power to the toes, and the toes transmit it to the floor.
The floor instantly gave him a huge pushback.
He took the fastest first step in his life.
Then his right foot also slammed on the floor.
Strong calf muscles transfer power to the toes again.
The toes hit the floor again.
The whole person jumped out instantly like a cheetah.
Chapter completed!
