790 Point guard Wang Yi
What D'Antoni is best at is a point guard-centered style of play.
When he was with the Suns, Nash was the core.
When he was with the New York team, he discovered Jeremy Lin.
When he was with the Rockets, he transformed James Harden from a shooting guard into a point guard, thus turning the Rockets into a team that could compete with the Warriors at their peak.
After Anthony said those words, he kept looking at Wang Yi, waiting for Wang Yi's reaction.
Although he has determined that he will use Wang Yi as a point guard, he must obtain Wang Yi's consent.
Wang Yi pondered for a moment.
Although he has now undergone systematic training, his passing vision and passing ability have improved to a certain extent.
But the system still mainly trains him to be a shooting guard.
If he is asked to play point guard now, will it go against the system's plan?
And if it goes against the system's plan, what will be the consequences?
Wang Yi is not sure.
But after pondering for about five seconds, he looked into D'Antoni's eyes.
"no problem."
If you play the control position, play the control position.
It's not like he hasn't been beaten before.
Although the system focuses on training him to be a shooting guard, it occasionally gives him experience cards at point guard.
Although the point guard experience card does not allow him to permanently possess the skills and passing vision of a point guard.
But through those few experiences of playing point guard, he has gained some experience in point guard.
And after what D'Antoni said, he also understood the current dilemma of the Kings.
The Kings currently have no one who can organize...
In the first five games, Walton put Hield on the bench. In order to experiment with the feasibility of the defensive lineup, he asked Beverley, who is more adept at defense, to be the starting point guard.
As we all know, although Beverley is tough defensively, he is not very good at organizing offense.
It is precisely because of the lack of organization that the team's offense seems a bit scattered, especially when encountering the opponent Wang Yi.
Wang Yi passed the ball out, and the others played in a disorganized manner.
Although D'Antoni has issues with hiring and other aspects, he is worthy of being a veteran coach for many years. He can see the team's current difficulties and problems at a glance.
"Then starting from today, systematically learn from me the point guard's playing style and thoughts on the court, as well as his ability to read and judge the game."
Wang Yi nodded: "Yes."
The two left the office and returned to the court again.
When D'Antoni announced to all the players that he had switched Wang Yi to point guard, most players had no objections.
In the past five games, Wang Yi has played shooting guard, and the effect is not as significant as last season.
Obviously, after one season, other teams have begun to study Wang Yi's style of play in detail.
The defense Wang Yi encountered was more targeted.
So he will have a very difficult time this season.
If we change our thinking at this time and ask Wang Yi to play point guard instead, other teams will be caught off guard.
You studied my shooting guard style, but I suddenly switched to point guard.
Oh, are you surprised?
Is it surprising?
But Hilde's expression was slightly in love with Ran.
Beverley was originally the starting point guard, and he was the backup point guard.
He was also thinking about whether the team's recent performance was poor and the coach would remove Beverley from the starting lineup and continue to let him play the starting point guard.
But now Wang Yi is directly asked to switch to point guard, so he will have no hope of playing the starting point guard.
Wang Yi naturally understands Hilde's feelings.
He has bounced around multiple teams and worked hard for a stable rotation. He understands this feeling all too well.
But there is no way, the NBA is so cruel.
However, Hilde actually has no objection to being able to serve as Wang Yi's substitute.
Wang Yi once saved her life.
And now when Wang Yi is on the court, he can sit off the court and study.
As soon as Wang Yi comes on the court, he will come on the court and can learn and apply it now.
One more thing.
When he was a starter before, he felt a little overwhelmed when facing starters from other teams.
After all, ability is just this kind of ability, and talent is just this kind of talent.
Even when encountering a stronger starter, he is basically in a state where he is easily taken care of by the opponent.
But if he is placed on the bench, and he faces the substitutes of other teams, his ability is beyond theirs.
There's no problem with handling the substitutes.
This is equivalent to increasing the depth of the team's lineup.
After determining this style of play, the players practiced the style of play with Wang Yi as the point guard that day.
Although Wang Yi has some experience as a point guard, he doesn't have much experience.
Therefore, in just 20 minutes of training in the afternoon, Wang Yi made as many as seven mistakes.
Many times he hesitates between passing the ball or attacking on his own, unable to make up his mind.
In the past, whenever there was a chance, he would attack.
But now he suddenly switches to point guard, which is equivalent to changing his thinking.
Sometimes in the blink of an eye, I will break through and make a layup on my own due to inertial thinking.
D'Antoni would correct him: "There are better open three-point opportunities, pass the ball!"
"Capella has already moved forward. You only need to reach out and pass the ball to him for a dunk. There is no need to spend so much effort shaking and passing people."
"Wang, you have to learn to fight harder and smarter."
In short, after 20 minutes of team training, Wang Yi's performance was not satisfactory.
This made every player feel unsure.
Is it okay for Wang Yi to play point guard?
However, the little licking dog Mitchell was full of praise for Wang Yi.
"The boss is awesome. He played point guard for the first time and scored 37 points in 20 minutes. That's awesome!"
Wang Yi glared at Mitchell: "It means I don't pass the ball enough."
Mitchell chuckled: "Whether the boss passes the ball or he plays it himself, you win in the end. The NBA is all about results. No matter what the process is, as long as you win in the end, that's good."
There was no team training game the next morning because there was a game against the Grizzlies this afternoon.
Grizzly bears are no longer the weaklings they used to be.
Although they failed to reach the playoffs last season, this season due to the strong rise of Morant, the Grizzlies have four wins and one loss in the first five games.
And the four games they won were against the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks and New Jersey Nets.
Just looking at their performance in these four games, they are truly powerful harvesters.
As long as you are powerful, you will have to kneel down when you see them.
In these four games, Morant averaged 26.9 points, 10.3 assists, and 8.5 rebounds per game.
Definitely an MVP-level performance.
Before the game, some media broke the news that the Kings would let Wang Yi play point guard.
This caused widespread discussion among fans, and many media reporters and many football commentators scoffed at it.
"Mike D'Antoni knows how to play point guard. He originally transformed James Harden into a point guard, and now he needs to transform Wang Yi into a point guard. But you have to know that Wang Yi is not James Harden. He does not have James Harden.
He has that kind of passing ability and vision."
"D'Antoni will turn Wang Yi, who was originally a joke, into an even bigger joke."
"It's crazy to let Wang Yi play point guard."
But what surprised everyone was that this time Smith, who was always going to beat Wang Yi in every game, was silent.
Some media revealed that he received a summons from the court this morning.
