Wang Yi's style of play provided D'Antoni with a new idea.
At the same time, D'Antoni expanded his thinking and extended this style of play to allow James to provide support in the central axis, while others move around James and cut through the air.
After Xiao Qiao recovers from his injury, Xiao Qiao is actually the most suitable candidate for the central pivot. After all, he is tall and can see a lot of space, and this guy has excellent passing skills.
The reason D'Antoni didn't use this style of play before was because they had a point guard god like Paul.
He always feels that if the ball is not in the hands of the point guard god, it is really a waste of the point guard god's ability.
At the same time, because James is a passing master, Paul does not hold the ball, so James holds the ball.
With two people like this in the team, if they are not allowed to hold the ball, not only will he feel it is a waste, but the media and fans will drown him in saliva.
However, through Wang Yi's play today, he knew that actually placing a central axis that can pass the ball on the three-point line, and others running around this central axis to intersperse air cuts, is more effective than simply placing the ball on Paul or James. Better in hand.
And this makes it easier for everyone.
If anyone is going to be more uncomfortable playing, it might be Paul.
James has at least played without the ball for a while. As a point guard god, Paul has never played without the ball in his life. As long as he plays, the ball is usually in his hands.
So this style of play may make Paul a little uncomfortable.
And with his height, even if he cuts in for a layup, he will be greatly disturbed.
Therefore, this style of play is not so friendly to Paul.
But as long as the entire team's ball is running smoothly and the entire team is playing comfortably, then I believe Paul can sacrifice for the team.
The central idea of ​​the axis play was determined.
So D'Antoni said to James: "Wang Yi's style of play just now provided us with a new idea. In the future, this style of play will be our regular style of play. But if there is only such a set of regular style of play, Soon our style of play will be studied thoroughly by other teams
"
"So in addition to this set of pivot plays, we have to develop several more sets of pivot plays. LeBron, after coming on the court in the third quarter, you stand at the three-point line. When the time comes, you take the ball as the pivot at the three-point line. Go up and support. The other players are running around you and cutting in and out."
James, Paul and Wang Yi looked at each other and nodded.
Theoretically, this style of play is feasible. First of all, James is 2.06 meters tall. Standing in this position, he has a better vision than Wang Yi to pass the ball.
Secondly, James' passing ability is very strong.
If his teammates all run around him, then whenever an opportunity arises, he can pass it to his teammates.
Of course, this is just theory.
Whether it works or not still needs practice, and they have never used this style of play before.
Who screens for whom, who cuts through and who pulls outside the three-point line, all require complete tactical arrangements.
But let’s try the effect of such impromptu coordination today.
Sometimes the effect of improvised coordination is better than fixed tactical routines.
Meanwhile in the Lakers locker room.
Trailing by nearly 20 points at halftime, all the players looked solemn.
Westbrook, who has performed very well this season, was staring at the tactical board as if thinking about something.
The thick-browed pair of huge eyes kept staring at the opposite wall, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lakers coach Schneider was staring closely at the tactical board at this time, as if he was thinking about something.
In fact, he understands what the problem is today.
It's all because the Kings have never played like this before, and it suddenly appeared today, leaving them with no mental preparation.
But now that things have come to this, we can only find a solution as soon as possible.
He continued to say to the players: "After coming on the field, we can't double-team Wang Yi too hard. We double-team so hard, but he can still pass the ball out, so what we have to do next is to double-team him.
Fake double-team. It looked like we were going to double-team, but in fact we were trying to cut off his passing lane."
Gulu
"Try to let him pass the ball less, or even pass it to his teammates. As long as he can't pass it to others, then they won't be able to play so easily."
The players all nodded, and the assistant coach also nodded. It seems that there is only one way to do it now.
As for not allowing Wang Yi to pass the ball, it is likely that Wang Yi will have a one-on-one opportunity. In the current entire league, no one can defend Wang Yi one-on-one.
What to do?
Head coach Snyder didn't say anything, and no one else asked.
Because they know that asking is in vain.
As the saying goes, there are two bottles of poison, always choose one to drink.
If you want to mainly guard against Wang Yi's passing, then you will let him have a 1 on 1. If you want to mainly guard against him on a 1 on 1, then you will give him a chance to pass the ball.
Since you can't prevent his passing, let's try to let him go 1 on 1. In short, don't let other Kings players play so comfortably.
This is the helplessness of the Lakers now.
However, at the beginning of the second half, they were even more helpless.
On the first kick of the game, Westbrook rushed in and dunked, which gave the audience a glimmer of hope.
Looking back at the Lakers' offense, when Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, Schneider and the two assistant coaches stared closely at Wang Yi on the court.
They are going to use that style of play again, let's see if Wang Yi can do it one on one.
However, contrary to his expectations, Wang Yi did not stand at the top of the three-point arc this time, but directly pulled to the right corner.
Instead, James reached the top of the three-point arc to get the ball.
The moment James got the ball, the other Kings players started to move.
Capela stayed in the right corner because his movements were a little slow.
Wang Yi, Danny and Paul kept running around James.
This made Snyder instantly dumbfounded.
Is it agreed that Wang Yi will be the central support?
Why did James suddenly become the central supporter?
Damn it, this instantly messed up all the arrangements I made during the halftime break.
The explanations I made to all the players were all in vain at this moment.
This made Snyder panic.
It's over.
Not only was he panicked, but all the players felt a little unsure at this time.
Because the situation is completely different from what the head coach said, how should they play?
How to defend against it?
Should we focus on guarding James or King James?
Even in such a panic, some people couldn't keep up with Wang Yi's speed.
When Wang Yi cut in from James, James passed the ball to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi held up the ball and faced Howard in front of him without any fear at all.
Jump up.
He raised his right hand to set fire to the sky, and made an explosive dunk.
Chapter completed!
