866 Paul is more talented and more accurate in three-pointers
In the first two rounds, Wang Yi completely imitated Paul's operations.
This gradually caused the fire in Paul's heart to rise.
However, a master of field control like Paul has very good control over his own mental state.
Although he was angry, his movements did not change in any way.
Still unhurried and well-scheduled.
Of course, Wang Yi did not imitate Paul again.
You can just imitate him in one or two rounds. If you have to imitate the opposite Paul every round, that would be a bit nonsense.
After all, Paul's current style of play is based on tactics that the Suns have practiced many times.
The Kings don't have that kind of tactics at all. If Wang Yi has to direct and dispatch every round now and let his teammates move, it's simply unrealistic.
But Wang Yi has his own advantages over Paul.
His physical fitness exploded.
His fast break ability is much better than Paul's.
He has three-point layups.
He also has a three-point shooting percentage that is 10 percentage points higher than Paul.
In addition, he has the court control ability and game experience of the point guard god. Although the Suns still insist on cutting off Wang Yi and his teammates today, with the point guard god's court control ability, even a small gap
, he can also pass the ball.
As a result, after the first quarter, the Kings already led by 12 points.
O'Neal, the on-site commentator, kept shaking his head: "The Suns are going home."
Pippen next to him also shook his head: "Don't underestimate the heart of a championship. Chris Paul is not so easy to admit defeat. He will definitely launch a counterattack in the second quarter. Especially when Wang Yi comes off the court to rest."
When..."
Before he finished speaking, O'Neal next to him interrupted him again: "Have you seen Wang Yi take a rest since entering the Western Conference Finals?"
Pippen smiled wryly at himself: "That's not true."
Since entering the playoffs, except for the huge point difference in the first two rounds and when Wang Yi took a few minutes of rest during garbage time, the rest of the games have basically been played for 48 minutes.
Especially since we entered the Western Conference Finals, not only did we play for 48 minutes, but every minute was a physical confrontation, and the intensity of the game was extremely high.
This makes people have to admire Wang Yi's iron physique.
While we were talking, the second quarter of the game started.
Veteran Paul Paul just took a two-minute rest. After coming on the court, facing Wang Yi's defense, he still dribbled the ball with his right hand and reached out with his left hand to direct his teammates' movements.
Finally, Devin Booker ran to the line and set a double screen with Ayton.
Paul directly hit a three-pointer.
Looking back, Wang Yi wanted to respond with a three-pointer, but did not respond.
After all, he doesn't always score.
In the next round, Paul and Devin Booker played a pick-and-roll. Paul seemed to pass the ball to Devin Booker, but in fact he dribbled back and hit another three-pointer.
The score difference instantly returned to 6 points.
In the next few rounds, although Wang Yi scored, Paul hit three consecutive mid-range shots.
In the first three minutes of the second quarter, Chris Paul made 5 of 5 shots.
He scored 12 points individually, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.
In the Tencent NBA live broadcast room, Wang Meng shook his head as he watched.
"Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. If Old Pao really shows off his power, you really can't defend yourself."
"Whoever said it, never underestimate the heart of a championship. The old gunman really worked hard today."
Wang Meng next to him said: "I have been working hard for my ideals for more than ten or twenty years. I am already 39 years old, but in such an important last-ditch game, when my teammates are not working, I still burst out with such energy. This kind of spirit is really It’s admirable.”
Huang Jianxiang: "Wang Meng, do you think you had such spirit compared to him?"
Wang Meng laughed: "I'm just kidding. I'm a talented player, but I won the gold medal with ease. Is this comparable?"
Huang Jianxiang gave Wang Meng a thumbs up: "Domineering."
This has always been Wang Meng's style.
He talks crazy, but he has the qualifications to be crazy.
Going out to compete is equivalent to going out to buy goods, and you have to come back with a bunch of gold medals.
At the scene, Wang Yi watched Chris Paul hit consecutive hits, narrowing the point difference to three points.
He nodded secretly.
This kind of competition is interesting.
Wouldn't it be boring if the opponent was defeated in one strike?
At this time, D'Antoni saw Paul breaking out and quickly sent Beverley to defend Paul.
Paul is too short, so it is basically not difficult for Beverley to defend him with his biting defense.
Sure enough, Beverley finally held Paul down after coming on the court.
Not to mention Paul's hit rate, he didn't even have a chance to take a shot.
If Paul were a few years younger, he would have been better against Beverley, but now he is old and his legs and feet are not flexible.
In addition, Beverley continued to provide him with physical confrontation, making his dribbling less stable.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for him to take action again.
Of course, this is Paul.
If it had been anyone else, similar in stature to Beverley, who would have been constantly confronted by Beverley, I am afraid he would have lost several goals.
But even though Paul was holding down, Booker was getting up.
Three-pointers were hit one after another.
Not only did they catch up with the point difference, but they also surpassed it.
Booker's scoring tension is also terrifying. Once the touch comes, he can't hold it down.
And this guy doesn't just shoot three-pointers when he feels good.
He played very smart.
After he made three three-pointers in a row, when the Kings shifted their defensive focus to the three-point line, he suddenly lowered his body and entered the paint, dunking successfully.
He hit two consecutive shots in the paint, and then two more mid-range shots.
This guy's mid-range shot is known as the most like Kobe's mid-range shot.
start up;
emergency stop;
lean back;
Take action.
It's almost exactly the same as Kobe's action.
At this time, halfway through the second quarter, the Kings were trailing by 4 points.
During the timeout, Wang Yi secretly pondered the next play style.
If Paul or Booker breaks out alone, he can easily suppress it with his ferocious firepower.
After all, in terms of explosive scoring power, no one in this league can match Wang Yi.
But if these two people break out at the same time, it will be a bit difficult.
He alone had no absolute confidence in suppressing the two of them.
Then you have to find the second firepower point of the Kings.
Currently, the Kings' second most powerful player is Danny.
However, if Danny is defended in front of him, his shooting percentage will not be that high.
If that's the case, then let's create opportunities for him.
So after playing again, in two consecutive rounds, Wang Yi used his speed to force his way into the paint and dunk on Ayton's head.
As a result, the Suns' defensive focus has shifted to Wang Yi.
Chapter completed!
