The 76ers coach was so worried that he quickly called another timeout to stop the Kings' momentum.
However, it was obvious that this time he failed.
The Kings continued this strategy for the rest of the second quarter: the Big Three attracted the defense, and then gave Danny or Anthony a three-pointer.
Not to mention Danny, he felt very good today. In the second quarter alone, he made five of six three-pointers and scored 15 points. Melo Anthony also scored two three-pointers.
This is despite Wang Yi not shooting three-pointers at all.
With Wang Yi's 50% three-point shooting rate, if he takes a shot, the 76ers will be even more unplayable.
Although the 76ers played quite well inside in the second quarter, their Embiid hit consecutive shots at the basket.
But if you shoot a two-pointer and I shoot a three-pointer, it's totally unplayable.
So at the end of the second quarter, the Kings led by 7 points.
This made the audience excited.
In previous preseason games, the Kings were almost seven or eight points behind by the second quarter. Today, not only were they not behind, but they were ahead by seven points. How could they not be excited?
In the Huaxia live broadcast room, Xu Jingyu was also talking.
"That's right, you are playing more correctly now. You don't need to say that you must pursue cooperation among the Big Three. Others must also participate. After all, basketball is a sport for five people."
"But I believe that with D'Antoni's mind, he would never have thought of this. It's not that he didn't think of it. He belongs to Ni, and he wouldn't dare to put either Paul or James off the court. After all, he has 30 million to put on Ni.
, you put 30 million on the sidelines, would you be happy with it? Can the boss be happy with it? Can the fans be happy with it."
"So since D'Antoni didn't come up with it, who came up with it? I guess, to a large extent, it must have been Brother Yi who came up with it."
"So the Kings brought three coaches to play on the court, but only one of these three coaches has a more out-of-the-box thinking. It's hard to figure out what he is thinking. There are still traces of the way Paul and James think, but
Even I can't figure out Brother Yi's way of thinking. So I dare to say that Brother Yi must have come up with this."
Xu Jingyu has changed from Yihei to Yichui.
Whenever there are any changes, they are all thought up by Wang Yi.
But what he said is indeed correct.
At this time, under Smith's Twitter, fans of Wang Yi and the Kings left messages one after another.
"It's said that Wang Yi is going to be slapped in the face. What happens now? This guy hasn't taken any action yet."
"Brother Yi is not going to be slapped in the face today. I'm afraid you are going to be slapped in the face and your face will swell like a pig's head."
Seeing so many comments, Smith chuckled and replied.
"The game isn't over yet. I'll be waiting for a slap in the face in an hour."
He is such a tough talker.
At this time, the 76ers were a little speechless. The Kings, who seemed to be able to handle it in the preseason, were so strong today?
Especially now that they are no longer obsessed with the Big Three, but are pursuing the Big Three to pass the ball to others.
The problem is that even though you know he will use this move, you still can't do anything about it, because you can't give up your defense against the Big Three, especially Wang Yi and James. After they get inside, you have to
Multiple people double team.
In this way, there will inevitably be a big gap on the outside, and these two guys have very strong passing skills, and they can easily pass the ball to the people with gaps on the outside.
So they come here obviously, and there's nothing you can do about it.
And the most terrifying thing is that Wang Yi hasn’t shot many three-pointers today.
Just imagine, if James bursts in and distributes the ball to Wang Yi on the outside. If they use this style of play, Wang Yi's 50% three-point shooting rate is really impossible to guard.
In desperation, he had to solve the problem from the offensive end.
Gu Lao
Harden and Embiid are told to play their pick-and-roll well. If the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two of them is really to be used, the power will be very huge.
So in the third quarter, the two began to play a pick-and-roll.
Sure enough, the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two of them is still very strong.
Danny didn't feel that good in the third quarter.
Melo Anthony also didn't feel good in the third quarter, so the point difference was overturned by them again.
But Wang Yi was not in a hurry to take action at this time.
He gives the ball more to James or Paul.
He still meant to let the two people get along.
Only when these two people get along well will they be able to fight more easily in the future.
As for what to do if you fall behind by a big score in the third quarter?
Just kidding, there is also a runaway experience card sitting there.
In fact, after playing for 5 minutes in the third quarter, James and Paul didn't feel good.
Danny and Anthony also don't feel good, which is actually very common.
There are a few minutes in a game when no one on the team can make a shot.
On the other hand, the 76ers, their two leading stars Harden and Embiid, both felt good in these few minutes.
Harden steps back and scores;
Embiid scored from the basket.
And both of them are very capable of making fouls.
So at this time they have already led by 6 points.
The audience at the scene became a little silent again, and the commentator couldn't help but said:
"Wang Yi has a lot of responsibility for the reason why the Kings are lagging behind now. I think with his ability, he should be able to do some things, but what did he do in the third quarter, besides passing the ball to James and Paul
Besides, he did nothing."
"He didn't shoot a three-pointer, he didn't go on a fast break. He did break through a few times and break the ball, but his teammates couldn't make a shot either."
"His desire to attack today was too weak, which has been his weakness since the preseason this season. His desire to attack this season is far from as strong as last season. He only made one or two shots suddenly, and most of the others
Time fell into silence. I really don’t know what happened to Wang Yi, Husseis."
However, even after they said this, Wang Yi did not seem to be anxious at all, nor did he take the initiative to attack.
At the end of the third quarter, the Kings were already trailing by 15 points.
At this time, on various social media, those scumbags began to badmouth the Kings in droves.
"The king is no longer the king he was before."
"Once James and Paul come, Wang Yi won't know how to play at all."
"Remembering what Wang Yi said before the game about 15 consecutive victories, haha, what a fucking joke."
When the players from both sides came off the court, Embiid felt secretly happy and spat a trash talk at Wang Yi: "With 12 minutes left, your Kings will become a joke, the Big Three will become a joke, and you will become a joke."
The aforementioned 15-game winning streak will become the joke of the year this year."
Wang Yi heard this and turned to look at Embiid.
Chapter completed!
