Chapter 1995 Penalty Shootout
At this time, the foul sent Wang Arthur to the free throw line.

The Kings led by three points, even if Arthur Wang made two free throws, the Kings still led by one point.

And the time is only three seconds left.

At that time, the Lakers can only foul again and send the Kings to the free throw line.

This is what is called a penalty shootout in basketball.

It will test the psychological quality and free throws of both sides.

Of course, Wang Yi's fouling on Danny Wang was also targeted.

Arthur Wang missed two free throws just now, and there must have been greater fluctuations in his heart. If he is allowed to make free throws at this time, the king's chances of winning are great.

Arthur Wang stood on the free throw line at this time, and involuntarily glanced at Wang Yi on the sidelines.

I saw Wang Yi bent slightly to Wang Arthur, and then made a gesture of please.

It's like a gentleman asking a woman to dance.

King Arthur suddenly seemed to have suffered a 1-point crit.

Nima, do you regard Lao Tzu as a woman?

Fake!

Coach Hamm could only shake his head secretly when he saw Arthur's performance.

Turning to look at Wang Yi, he secretly said in his heart: This guy is not idle as a coach. This kind of silent trash talk is the most deadly.

But this Wang Arthur is still up to the mark, after standing on the free throw line, he made the first free throw.

At this time, Wang Yi switched to the three-tower lineup again. Arthur Wang missed the second free throw and was again rebounded by the three-tower lineup.

At 117:115, the Kings still lead by two points.

At this time, the rebound was in Towns' hands, and the Lakers could only foul again.

Towns stepped to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

The Kings took another three-point lead at 118:115.

After Towns made two free throws, the Kings took a three-point lead again with 118:115.

At this time, the Lakers had no timeout and could only serve in the backcourt.

After Wang Arthur took the ball in the backcourt and dribbled for two steps, he planned to shoot a three-pointer directly from the backcourt.

He is not Wang Yi, and his three-point shooting percentage in the backcourt basically depends on Meng.

However, Wang Yi didn't even give him the chance to be stunned, and directly let the player foul again before he made a shot.

And the time is only 1.2 seconds left.

Arthur Wang stood on the free throw line again and made two free throws again.

118 to 116, the Kings still lead by two points.

After the Kings grabbed a free throw rebound, the Lakers had to foul again, and this foul made the time go by another 0.3 seconds.

Only 0.9 seconds left.

The foul was committed on Tours.

Towns was not allowed to make a free throw. He failed to hit the first serve and turned to look at Wang Yi on the sidelines.

Seeing Wang Yi slightly shaking his head at him, Tours knew what to do next.

He purposely smashed the ball over the rim.

The basketball leaps high.

Although the thick eyebrow grabbed the rebound this time, he was immediately double-teamed by Towns and Bond. The thick eyebrow could not pass the ball, and the time ran out quickly.

The Kings narrowly beat the Lakers by two points 118:116.

At this moment, the entire center of Golden No. 1 burst into joy.

Wang Yi stood up, walked to the center of the field, and high-fived the players one by one.

"Good job!"

"Pretty!"

"This battle was fought very well, I will add chicken legs to you when I go back tonight!"

Especially when he walked up to Ross, he said to Ross:

"Man, your performance today opened my eyes, especially the key layup in the last minute, the alley-oop pull-up layup, it really shocked my jaw."

Rose shook his head and said:
"No, no, it was your commanding skills that allowed us to win the game. Everyone knows that after we lost you, our strength on paper is obviously not as good as the Lakers, but in such a game, we suppressed the Lakers everywhere. , From the beginning to the end, the Lakers did not lead by even a second, and the final penalty shootout was eye-opening. I guess in three to five years, the whole league is waiting for you to retire as a coach."

"I haven't played enough yet."

Wang Yi replied with a smile.

"If you don't retire, other stars will go crazy."

After all, the two laughed.

Popovich and Phil Jackson on the sidelines are also summing up the game:

"There were many bright spots in this game. Even though Arthur was restricted, he scored a triple-double with 33 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists."

"Derry Cross dreamed of returning to his peak. He also scored 32 points and 7 assists in this game, especially those few dunks and the pull-up layup in the last minute, which were impressive."

"But what impressed me the most was Wang Yi's commanding art."

Speaking of this, Popovich seemed to be tasting red wine:
"From the three-tower lineup he put up at the beginning, he took advantage of the Lakers. Although the Lakers caught up with the score in the third quarter with a sudden burst of three-pointers, and fought the Lakers until the last second, But overall, they're still at the mercy of the Kings."

Phil Jackson nodded, his silver-white beard and hair shining under the light:

"Looking at the whole scene, Wang Yi's on-the-spot adaptability is completely higher than that of Hamm, and his various evil moves are also hard for Hamm to guard against."

"In the last minute, he used penalty kick tactics to completely control Hamm."

"And it can be seen that even though Wang Yi didn't play, he still maximized his influence on the court, such as what he said to Arthur before Arthur made a free throw. What did you tell Arthur?"

"Yeah, I'm also curious, he wouldn't say 'Young people's future is yours'."

Having said that, Popovich laughed out loud.

Phil Jackson also couldn't help laughing.

At this time, after the game, Wang Yi finished communicating with the players and walked towards the Lakers. Coach Hamm also greeted Wang Yi.

While shaking hands with Wang Yi, Coach Ham patted Wang Yi on the shoulder: "I knew you were a coach."

Wang Yi shook his head and said modestly, "I only know a little bit."

"It's enough to know a little bit or two. If you really understand everything, is there any way for our other coaches to survive?"

Hamm smiled wryly.

Wang Yi is still modest: "It's a fluke, a fluke."

Finally, he asked Coach Hamm: "Why didn't Doug play? Your official reason is due to personal reasons. I'm curious."

The reason why many people were optimistic about the Lakers was not only because the Kings lost Wang Yi, but also because the Lakers got Doug.

As a result, Doug did not play today, and the official reason given by the Lakers was personal.

What is the personal reason?
Coach Ham shook his head and said, "This is a military secret."

Wang Yi laughed and said, "Okay, military secrets, I'd like to see when his secret weapon will be on the field."

After the game, Maya Miyagawa will conduct a sideline interview after the game.

She is now not only a Japanese reporter in Sacramento, but also a contract reporter for ESPN.

So occasionally she gets to qualify for post-game interviews.
