893 Countdown to kill! (Part 1)
Everyone knows that Wang Yi is good at three-point shooting from the backcourt.
However, Wang Yi's backcourt three-pointers usually only appear at the beginning of the game. In such an important game, at such an important juncture, he will generally not take three-pointers from the backcourt casually.
Therefore, when the Suns were defending, they did not defend Wang Yi's backcourt three-pointer.
And when Paul hit the two-pointer, the Suns thought the Kings were going to call a timeout.
So they were a little stunned.
As a result, Wang Yi shot a three-pointer from the backcourt.
In fact, Wang Yi is just grabbing some time.
He shot 45% from three-point range in the backcourt.
It would be better if he hit the ball, but if he missed the ball, Danny and Beverley would have already rushed to grab the offensive rebound.
And the location is very good.
So after Wang Yi shot this backcourt three-pointer, he was not worried about not scoring.
What's even more bizarre is that after he took the shot, he felt very good.
While the ball was still flying in the air, he turned his head and said to Claude next to him: "It's your turn to serve."
Claude looked over Wang Yi's head and saw in the distance behind Wang Yi, the basketball seemed to be climbing over mountains and ridges, crossing a high mountain and then slowly descending.
final.
Swish——
Just as Wang Yi felt, he entered the net empty-handedly.
The net was carried diagonally downward by the basketball.
Like a flag of victory.
A three-pointer from the backcourt!
Time: 17.5 seconds.
Point difference: 1 point.
The ball hit, and cheers from the Golden Center No. 1 overflowed from all directions in the arena and onto the streets.
In the square outside the Golden No. 1 Center, the more than 30,000 fans also jumped and twisted crazily.
This three-pointer almost ran through the entire court.
Although they were still one point behind at this time, the Kings' momentum was immediately boosted by this three-pointer that spanned the entire court.
Suns coach Monty Williams quickly called a timeout.
Trailing by 9 points in two minutes just now, he originally thought he had stabilized a little bit, but he never expected that the situation on the court would change and he would only lead by one point in the last 17.5 seconds.
This is really ridiculous.
In the Tencent NBA live broadcast room, Wang Meng had almost smashed the table.
"First brother...first brother...I'll go, this is a well-deserved first brother!"
"Just show me what you just did, who else in the alliance can do it? One brother is a real man, and the other brother is a pure man!"
"One brother and one brother, I have to say, one brother and one brother are very cool this time."
Wang Meng also kept slapping the table:
"Awesome! It exploded!"
"You still have to be the first brother, you still have to be the first brother! At the critical moment, we still have to look at our first brother."
In front of these two people, Huang Jianxiang seemed unable to say anything and could only continue to play the role of compliment.
"Hey, yes, yes!"
In addition to the series of "Niubi 666" on the barrage, someone also discovered a detail.
"Brother Yi had already turned around before he hit the three-pointer. Damn it, he got it again."
"This is so fake that it makes people's scalp numb."
"I have seen three-pointers in the midfield being so pretentious, but I have never seen three-pointers in the backcourt being so pretentious."
"The King of Forces is indeed true."
In the Golden Center No. 1, Kings head coach D'Antoni's instructions to the players were simple.
"We have committed enough fouls. Then they will foul as long as they serve and send them to the free throw line."
There were just over 17 seconds left, so a foul was necessary.
Otherwise, if Paul runs out of time, the king will be out of luck.
"Of course, try not to commit fouls on Paul and Booker. Both of them had very high free throw shooting percentages today. You can put it on Crowder, you can also put it on Ayton, but it is best to put it on Crowder.
, he only made 1 of 4 free throws today."
On the Suns side, the head coach naturally thought of this too.
So during this attack, he directly replaced Crowder and replaced him with a substitute power forward with a higher free throw percentage.
At the same time, let Ayton serve the sideline ball.
And he also designed a very clever sideline ball tactic.
Ensure that the ball can be sent to Paul or Booker to receive the force.
Their first choice was of course Paul, but Wang Yi was too attached to Paul.
Seeing that 5 seconds were about to expire, they had no choice but to pass the ball to Booker.
According to D'Antoni's arrangement, as soon as Booker got the ball, Beverley fouled him and sent him to the free throw line.
Booker made five of six free throws today. Sending him to the free throw line is basically giving away points, but there is nothing we can do.
When Booker made a free throw, both sides replaced players with rebounders.
The Kings replaced TT, Capela and Barnes.
The Suns replaced Crowder.
NBA games are like this. As long as the critical moment of the last minute is played, they are basically broken into pieces and played.
An offensive round will be divided into an offensive round and a defensive round.
Use offensive players in the offensive round and defensive players in the defensive round.
If you need to grab rebounds, replace him with a good rebounder; if you need a fast break, replace him with a smaller player who is faster.
As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. Only by doing your best in every detail and making no mistakes can you win.
When Booker was serving, Wang Yi stood on the left side in front of him.
A word to Booker: "Man, you must hit this ball, otherwise, you know what I will do?"
Booker couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
Wang Yi has already scored seven times in the regular season this season.
Set a record for the most buzzer beaters in a single season in NBA history.
He shot 7-for-9 on the last shot this season.
The hit rate of this buzzer-beating shot is really frighteningly high.
When thinking of this, Booker's heart was already a little shaken.
So he made his first free throw. The basketball bounced on the rim three times, but in the end he still couldn't climb in.
After all, he is still too young, and his mental quality is still a little bit poor.
At this time Paul came over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Booker nodded and then executed his second serve.
The second free throw was a solid one.
At this time, Kings coach D'Antoni was standing on the sidelines, ready to call the last timeout.
But the Kings had already served. At the same time, Wang Yi waved his hand to D'Antoni on the sidelines and shouted: "Don't time out."
Seeing this, D'Antoni hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Trailing by two points in the final 16 seconds.
He speculated that Wang Yi meant to hit one quickly and score better. If they failed to score, they would still have a chance to grab rebounds.
However, D'Antoni clearly misjudged the situation.
After Wang Yi got the ball, all the Suns players thought Wang Yi would launch a fast break, so they quickly retreated on defense.
At this time, Wang Yi had no intention of launching a fast attack.
Instead, he slowly dribbles the ball toward the frontcourt.
After arriving in the frontcourt, two teammates came over to set him up as a pick-and-roll.
However, Wang Yi pressed his left hand out of nowhere, meaning that everyone should calm down first, and he wanted to press for time.
Seeing this, D'Antoni went crazy.
What a joke.
There are only 10 seconds left, the Kings are still behind by two points, and you're still running out of time.
You are so confident, are you sure that your last shot will hit?
However, all Kings players trust Wang Yi unconditionally.
They all took the initiative to take a few steps back to create space.
At the last moment, leave it to Wang Yi.
