NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 177 The Power of the Model Monster
Dallas, American Airlines Center.

The second half of the game between the Lakers and the Lone Ranger is underway.

The Lakers still sent a full starting lineup in the second half.

On the Lone Ranger side, their starting center Boban was replaced.

Boshen temporarily takes the center position.

The current Boshen is only 109 kilograms, like a slender praying mantis.

Compared with Zion's weight of 129 kilograms, his weight at the center position is obviously too disadvantageous.

But the current Lone Ranger's backup center is injured, so after Boban is off the field, Boshen can only be allowed to stand up for a while.

Although Boshen is small in weight, his height of 2 meters can always play a role.

As soon as it comes up, the Lakers attack.

James directly handed the ball to the thick eyebrows on the inside.

Thick eyebrows are not good enough to fight Boban, but Boshen, who is like a praying mantis, can beat Boshen no matter in terms of footsteps, weight or bounce-he is no longer the Boshen he used to be.

This is how James reads and judges on the court.

He can quickly find the opponent's weaknesses according to the opponent's lineup and the characteristics of each player, so as to make corresponding offensive adjustments.

In these few rounds, although Wang Yi was only doing defense.

Didn't do anything offensively.

But he is secretly learning James' scheduling and judgment on the court.

There is such a veteran who has been in the league for 19 years by his side. Wouldn't it be too bad if he didn't learn something from him?
Wang Yi only played for 3 minutes on the court.

In these 3 minutes, although Wang Yi did not score a point, he did not have an assist.

But he grabbed three defensive rebounds thanks to his bounce and his ability to spot rebounds.

And in this 1 minute, he completely defended Hardaway.

Let Hardaway score no points and make two turnovers.

I have to say that because of his poor physical fitness, his defense is not top-notch, but it is definitely a top-notch existence.

The Huaxia fans saw that Wang Yi was off after only 3 minutes of playing, so they naturally didn't know the coach's intentions.

They all became puzzled:

"What's going on? Brother Yi has been the starter these few games, why did he end after only playing for 3 minutes?"

"Is there an injury? The Rain God must not be injured."

"Is the coach out of his mind, and he left after only playing for 3 minutes?"

Seeing Wang Yi's end, Wang Zhiju couldn't help shouting:

"Li Fei holding the grass, what happened to my brother Yi? It's unreasonable!"

Li Fei is also inexplicable:

"Just now in the first half, I played more time than before. I thought I would play more today. There must be something wrong with this coach."

This is how fans watch football. When there is something they don't understand on the court, they often scold the coach.

Although it is not ruled out that sometimes the coach will suddenly short-circuit the brain.

But in 90.00% of [-] cases, the coach's arrangement has his reasons.

Although sometimes this arrangement does not achieve the desired effect, the coach's arrangement is by no means without purpose.

When Wang Yi was sitting off the court, he was not idle.

There is no chatting and spanking like other teammates.

Instead, he was watching the game on the court intently.

Wang Yi was secretly analyzing and summarizing the players' habitual movements, the most comfortable shooting areas, and their passing timing.

At the same time, he is also paying attention to which players are doing well.

How can he learn the good things about these players in the future.

For example, Wang Yi at this time is like a sponge, constantly absorbing the water on the field.

Head coach Vogel accidentally saw Wang Yi's expression, and was secretly surprised.

This guy is always so focused when he sits off the court.

If nothing else, his future achievements are far greater than people expected.

On the Lone Ranger side, when they saw Wang Yi's end, they immediately replaced Boban.

This time, the effect of the substitution was immediate.

Since Wang Yi was off the court, the Lakers missed a three-pointer.

Boban started to rebound.

Not only rebounding the backcourt, but also rebounding the frontcourt.

And after Boban came on the field, the thick eyebrows were very uncomfortable.

In turn, Doncic kept feeding Boban inside.

Boban either scored two points or caused the Lakers to foul inside.

As a result, the difference quickly narrowed.

From 14 points just now, it gradually narrowed down to 12 points, 11 points, and 8 points.

Vogel also saw the sticking point.

To solve this crux of the problem, it is actually simple.

Just send Wang Yi to play.

But Wang Yi consumed too much energy in the first half.

And he intends to give Wang Yi the unlimited right to fire.

Therefore, Wang Yi cannot be allowed to play at this time.

He called a short timeout and made a simple arrangement:

"Shoot less threes and more mid-range shots."

In today's era where offenses are mostly concentrated outside the three-point line and under the basket, requiring players to shoot more mid-range shots is obviously contrary to the trend of the times.

But Vogel was also helpless.

Three points are not accurate, what can he do?
In the next few minutes, James made 1 mid-range hit and 2 thick eyebrows.

Needless to say, Schroeder, the middle distance is the guy he eats.

He hit 3 goals from mid-range alone.

Seeing this, Lone Ranger coach Kidd couldn't help showing a smile.

With a wave of the flag: "Narrow the defense, defend the mid-range and the basket. As for the three-pointer, give them."

As a result, it will be difficult for the Lakers to have a shot in the middle distance.

Can't make a three-pointer.

This was the biggest shortcoming of the Lakers before Wang Yi came.

One less three and one less deadly weapon.

How is this played?
On the other hand, the Lone Ranger's offense is not bad.

The pick-and-rolls of Doncic and Boban also came out, and Boshen occasionally scored a three-pointer.

Especially Hardaway.

When Wang Yi was off the court, Schroeder would defend him.

Although Schroeder is motivated enough, he is a little short in size and weight.

Hardaway has a breakthrough, a three-pointer, and a mid-range shot.

Therefore, the gap between the two teams continues to narrow.

In the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, Wang Yi finally played again.

At this time, the Lakers' lead has been eroded to only 1 point.

On Huaxia's side, seeing Wang Yi appearing again at this time sparked another discussion.

"It's playing again, it seems that Brother Yi is not injured."

"Then why wasn't he allowed to go up for more than six minutes just now?"

"Is the coach making other arrangements?"

At this time, some fans thought of something:
"Perhaps, the coach deliberately let Yushen and Zhan Mei stagger the playing time. In this way, when Yushen leads the second team, he can open fire infinitely."

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Many fans began to be bewildered.

"As expected, it's no wonder Brother Yi took so many shots in the first half."

"Understood, it seems that the coach was wrongly blamed before."

"Let me just say, how could the coach replace Yushen casually."

Mavericks coach Kidd has been with Vogel for so long and is very familiar with Vogel's coaching style.

I already knew what Vogel meant.

But what can he do.

He can't put Hardaway on the bench to face Wang Yi.

He also counts on Hardaway to share Doncic's offensive and defensive pressure.

Only in this way, his previous plan fell through.

Before, I thought that Wang Yi would run out of energy in the middle of the third quarter.

As a result, Wang Yi did not come up until now.

This is a bit of a hassle.

Maybe Wang Yi throws a few more three-pointers as soon as he comes up, and it will not be so easy to chase them back.

But what can he do?
In this lineup without Hardaway's defense, Wang Yi can be regarded as having fun.

The Lone Ranger dare not let go of his three-pointer, so he can easily break into the mid-range.

As soon as he came up, he made two mid-range shots.

Seeing this, Kidd shook his head helplessly.

Shouting to the players from the sidelines:
"Team him! As long as he wants to get the ball, immediately double-team him!"

The offensive firepower of the Lakers' bench lineup is not very good.

As long as the two Lone Rangers prevent Wang Yi from dying, then the other people's piecemeal attacks are nothing to worry about.

But soon, Wang Yi proved to him one thing - breaking the double-team is really easy.
