NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 857
857 Three-point layup with no solution
Originally, the Kings' maximum point difference had been pulled to 17 points, but when the second quarter ended, the fork was reduced to 2 points in one fell swoop.

This surprised the commentators at the scene.

American ESPN commentator Thomas couldn't help but look at D'Antoni differently:

"Coach D'Antoni has been teaching in the NBA for so many years, and his on-the-spot adaptability has been criticized by people. But today's on-the-spot substitution was replaced by a rookie who had never played in the playoffs before. Jackson. The result This trick turned decay into magic, allowing the Kings to narrow the point difference to 8 points at the end of the first half. It seems that coach D'Antoni still has the ability."

But Magic Johnson, another commentator next to him, shook his head: "No, this doesn't look like D'Antoni's handwriting."

Toms reacted immediately:
"You reminded me so much that I understand. This seems to be Wang Yi's handwriting."

The magician nodded: "Well, looking at the entire Kings team, only Wang Yi has the status, and has such courage to dare to let a rookie who has never played in the playoffs before play in such an important game."

Thomas thinks so: "So, it is Wang Yi who saw that the team needed a transfer station, so he sent Jordan Jackson, who has a great passing skill."

"of course."

The magician answered without hesitation.

Thomas exclaimed: "In this way, Wang Yi's golf intelligence has to be admirable."

Magic Johnson smiled: "Does it need to be said? His golf intelligence has been proven in many previous games."

After halftime, when the Lakers players returned to the locker room, they were talking and laughing one by one, but James kept his face gloomy.

Only he can see that although they lead by 8 points now, they are already in a disadvantageous situation in terms of the situation on the field.

Especially at this time, the Kings actually used a newcomer, and that guy's passing skills are really good.

When the two sides are in a stalemate, you are not afraid that you will have a new firepower point, but you are afraid that you will have another new passing point.

A new firepower point appears, you just need to guard against this firepower point;

But there is a new passing point, which can drive other people, and can even form a mutual echo with the original passing point, which makes defense several times more difficult.

And now he has one more thing to worry about, and that is the three-point firepower of the Kings.

Throughout the first half, except for Wang Yi, the Kings didn't make a three-pointer.

It would be the scariest thing if other people's threes were separated and Wang Yi's touch returned to normal.

After returning to the locker room, he quickly untied his shoelaces and put thick ice packs on his knees.

Then he lay on the bed in the physical therapy room and let the physical therapist massage his body.

This can help him relieve muscle fatigue quickly.

He is old, and his physical recovery is much slower than when he was young.

Therefore, these scientific methods are needed to allow your muscles to recover quickly.

Head coach Vogel was a little helpless at this time.

There is a second pass point, which is very difficult to guard, especially if the guy is one stop toward the center line, then no matter which Kings player runs around him, it is an opportunity.

This will stretch the line of defense very long, and the difficulty of the Lakers' defense will increase a lot.

After pondering for a while, he could only say to his thick eyebrows: "AD, you guard Jordan Jackson in the second half."

With thick eyebrows, tall arms and long arms, letting him defend Jordan Jackson may cause some interference to Jordan Jackson.

At the same time, he said to other Lakers players: "In the second half, we must strengthen the defense against their air cuts and cut off the connection between Jordan Jackson and the other players of the Kings."

At this time James raised a question: "Then who will defend Wang Yi?"

If you want to cut in the air, you have to stare at your respective defenders.

But in this way, the players defending Wang Yi become 1-on-1 with Wang Yi.

But now in this alliance, no one can limit Wang Yi one-on-one.

It won't work even if Leonard comes.

It's okay if James doesn't say it. When he said that, Vogel got a little bit dizzy again.

This is the case in the NBA. The defensive energy of five players on the field is limited. If you mainly defend the outside three-pointer, there will be negligence on the inside. If you mainly defend the inside, you may not be able to defend the outside three-pointer.

So you have to focus on defense.

But the current problem is that you can't focus on either side.

Vogel took a deep breath, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while.

The middle finger of the right hand kept tapping on the table.

In the end, it seems that a great determination has been made: "Combined defense!"

Everyone looked at the coach in surprise.

you sure?
In fact, facing the current offense of the Kings, the best way is to defend.

The players of the Kings don't feel good, so they can only score into the penalty area through continuous air cuts, so if there is a zone defense at this time, it is the best defense method to prevent them from getting in.

But as we all know, the Kings are a 3D team.

Three-pointers are an important part of the Kings offense.

And their team's overall three-point shooting rate this season is as high as 42%.

So no team in the league dares to use zone defense against them.

Because of the zone defense, all players must shrink within the three-point line, so that the defense outside the three-point line will be much looser.

Using zone defense against a team with an overall shooting percentage as high as 42% is completely suicidal.

Even if the Kings didn't feel good in this game, no coach dared to use zone defense.

Zone defense is tantamount to letting the Kings shoot three-pointers, and once a team like the Kings is allowed to shoot three-pointers, it will be over.

But Vogel gritted his teeth after a moment of silence: "On defense."

The coaches are all gamblers, and what he bet on is that the Kings' three-pointer feeling in the second half is still not open.

Seeing that Vogel was so determined, James also nodded: "I agree."

At present, he can't think of any good way to defend Wang Yi and Jordan Jackson, so he can only try to defend first.

In the Kings locker room, their head coach didn't change any offensive or defensive strategies.

They played very well in the past few minutes, there is no need to change.

After a 15-minute break, the game continued in the second half.

Due to Xiao Qiao's outstanding performance just now, Xiao Qiao was able to get the starting position in the second half.

And Danny didn't feel as good as a three-pointer, so his role on the court was not as great as Barnes.

Therefore, Barnes played the starting small forward in the second half.

After replaying, the Lakers attacked.

Zhan Mei scored an alley-oop, which widened the point difference to 10 points.

The Kings quickly launched a counterattack.

It was still Xiao Qiao standing in the middle circle.

Wang Yi passed the ball to Xiao Qiao.

But this time, none of the Lakers went to guard Wang Yi or Xiao Qiao, but all retreated to within the three-point line.

At the same time put on a defensive posture.

Under such circumstances, the Kings have no players who can score in the penalty area.

Wang Yi pointed to Beverly who was in the empty seat on the other side.

The easiest way to break the zone defense is to shoot a three-pointer. As long as you can make a three-pointer, the opponent will not dare to defend the zone again.

Xiao Qiao immediately passed the ball to Beverly, and Beverly made an open three-pointer and shot directly.

boom--

Three-point strike.
