NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 504: All the Kings Become Mad Dogs
When the news that Wang Yi scored 102 points in the playoffs reached Vogel, he was not shocked like everyone else, but laughed.

He's laughing at the Pelicans' head coach who can't defend.

He admitted that Wang Yi's ability is very strong.

But allowing Wang Yi to score 102 points in an important playoff, he believes that the Pelicans' defense is too stretched.

As a coach who started out defensively, he thought this was simply unreasonable.

But today he saw it.

Wang Yi scored 26 points in a single quarter, allowing him to see how strong Wang Yi is.

Reminding him of the 2021 playoffs, the Suns' Devin Booker scored 22 points in the first quarter.

In that series, the Lakers couldn't limit Devin Boke at all.

And now Wang Yi's scoring ability is even more exaggerated than Devin Booker.

What made him even more unbearable was the Kings' defense.

The Kings' defense has been at the mid-lower level throughout the previous season.

Their personal defensive ability has improved, but because the coach can't defend, their overall defensive ability is still worse.

But in the past few minutes, they have maximized their personal defensive ability.

Everyone is biting the Lakers like a mad dog.

The Lakers were stunned by the sudden increase in defensive intensity.

So at this time, with 1 minutes before the end of the first quarter, the Kings not only caught up with the point difference, but also led by three points in turn.

Defense is Vogel's strong point, but now he is overwhelmed by the opponent's defense.

This is intolerable to him.

At this time, all Kings fans were surprised by the defensive strength displayed by the Kings.

"Is this still the king I know?"

"Everybody defends like Beverley, it's outrageous."

"One Beverly can make Durant angry. Now the five players on the Kings field are all biting like Beverly. One can imagine how annoyed the Lakers will be."

In the Tencent NBA live broadcast room, Yang Yi couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this.

"This defense! It looks too entertaining. Is this the Kings we know?"

Wang Meng shook his head: "I have played no less than 20 games for the Kings this season. I have never seen the Kings like today. Their defensive enthusiasm and their sharp judgment in defense are all things I have never seen before. We can recall Look at how they played the first three minutes of the first quarter. Dribble the ball, go out of bounds, pass the ball to the opponent, and look at the last few minutes. It's a completely different team."

"I think all of this stems from Wang Yi's drive. It was he who led the defense against Westbrook and drove the enthusiasm of all the players. This is the strongest defense of the Kings this season."

Golden No. 1 center, Walton was a little surprised when the Kings players went off the court.

As the head coach, he didn't dare to think that the Kings could explode with such a strong defensive ability.

He kept clapping his hands to encourage the players: "Very good, very good, you are doing very well. Your defense is the strongest I have seen this season, keep it up."

But while encouraging the players, he had a hint of worry in his heart.

The king's desperate defense consumes a lot of energy. What should we do in the second half?
Especially when it comes to Section 4?
But let's take it step by step now. If the Kings don't fight like this, there will be no second half at all, and the first half will collapse.

In the Lakers rest area, Vogel holds a tactical board.

He slapped the tactical board heavily with his hands, and emphasized to the players: "Their defense today is crazy, but we cannot be frightened by them. Use your brains to think about how much their defensive strength can be maintained." It's 5 minutes or 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, their physical fitness can't support them to defend like this."

"And I already have a way. Since they want to fight defense, then we will fight defense. And he has to guard at least 4 of us. As long as we guard Wang Yi, it is equivalent to defending the entire Kings team. So the next double-team Wang Yi, try the hands of the rest of the Kings."

This has almost become a practice for all teams in the league to defend the Kings.

In the first quarter, try Wang Yi's hand first, and don't double-team him.

If Wang Yi is in very good condition, then decisively double-team him and try the touch of other Kings players.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers James and Anthony went off to rest.

Westbrook and Nongmei led three substitutes on the court.

This is the strength of the Lakers: there are two giants sitting off the court, and there are two giants leading the team on the court.

On the Kings side, Wang Yi refused to rest.

On the defensive end, other players of the Kings can also increase their defensive strength by biting like mad dogs, but on the offensive end, if Wang Yi is off the field, the defensive pressure on other players will be much greater, and they will do nothing .

So he can't rest at all.

Westbrook holds the ball near the middle circle, and Wang Yi is still defending him.

Hilde had a conversation with Wang Yi just now, saying that Wang Yi wanted to focus more on the offensive end, so he was asked to defend Westbrook.

But Wang Yi did not agree.

He has already made up his mind, and today he will be the main defense against Westbrook.

Because the Kings are the only one who can defend Westbrook alone.

If it were Hilde, someone would have to double-team Westbrook with him.

Facing Wang Yi, Westbrook still wanted to forcefully pass by with speed.

But he almost dribbled the ball out of bounds, and he still couldn't pass Wang Yi.

In desperation, he had to pass the ball to Howard at the top of the arc.

Howard has no deterrence at the top of the three-point arc, he can only pass the ball to the thick eyebrows in the low post.

Bagley and Hilde quickly came to double-team the thick eyebrows-not only Wang Yi did not rest for the Kings, but Hilde, Danny Mitchell and Bagley also did not rest.

Facing the double-teaming of Bagley and Hilde with thick eyebrows, he turned towards the baseline.

Make a shot.

Shake Bagley, then use a step up and down to get close to the basket, and take off with both feet.

Pick the basket and shoot.

This is a rare situation where he still shoots in the face of two double teams today.

However, at this moment, when Wang Yi saw thick eyebrows turning towards the bottom line, he quickly came to this side to help defend.

At the moment when Nongmei just picked up the basket and shot, Wang Yi jumped high.

Press the ball directly on the backboard with both hands.

Another pegboard hat!
Having been teammates with Nongmei for nearly a year, he knows Nongmei's routines too well.

Knowing that the ball with thick eyebrows is either turned around and shot, or stepped up and down to pick the basket.

"Oh--"

The 17 spectators roared with excitement.

After Wang Yi covered his thick eyebrows, he took the ball down with both hands.

After landing, it is necessary to launch a fast attack.

Nongmei also knew that Wang Yi would have to attack quickly when he landed, so after being blocked, he had already blocked Wang Yi in one step.

However, Wang Yi reacted very quickly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he stuffed the ball under Nongmei's crotch, then quickly bypassed Nongmei, and got the ball behind him.

The ball is divided!
