Green was called for a technical foul and was replaced by the head coach. It was time for him to rest.
When the commentator Van Gundy saw this, he nodded and said with great approval: "Wang Yi showed his great aggressiveness on the defensive end today. First, he defended the opponent's core Curry until the first quarter.
No points were scored. Secondly, he defended Green until he was given a technical foul."
"This disrupted the Warriors' rotation plan. It can be said that in the first quarter, Wang Yi disrupted the Warriors' entire arrangement with almost one-man defense."
The commentator next to him, Silver Hair Lang, is also a senior commentator and has been commentating on NBA 20 games for many years.
He could tell what happened in the first quarter at a glance, and he deeply believed what Van Gundy said:
"Yes, we can say that in the first quarter Wang Yi destroyed the Warriors' offense with one-man defense. So it is a complete joke to give Green the best defensive player this year."
"Judging from Wang Yi's games this season, it's not that his defense is worse than Green's, but that his offense is too strong, covering up his defensive brilliance. Just like Curry's three-pointer is too strong, covering up his breakthrough and
CIC’s capabilities are the same.”
Van Gundy also agreed: "I don't know what the people who made the selection are thinking. I only know that not giving Wang Yi the best defensive player is the biggest joke in the NBA this season."
Since both Green and Curry were off the game, Poole and Thompson were the only ones on the court at this time.
The Warriors were compromised both offensively and defensively.
For the Kings, James and Paul took a break, and Wang Yi was playing with a group of substitutes.
Wang Yi was mainly defending Thompson at this time.
Once again, he demonstrated his defensive pressure to the fullest.
In the last three minutes, Thompson was overwhelmed and couldn't even catch the ball.
Although Beverley is not as tall and long as Wang Yi, he is just as stubborn as Wang Yi and prevented Poole from making frequent mistakes in these three minutes.
On the other hand, the Kings frequently fired Danny's three-pointers when they were attacking today.
After Anthony was replaced, he also showed rare accuracy in three-pointers, hitting three three-pointers in the last 4 minutes.
As a result, the Kings already led the Warriors by 9 points at the end of the first quarter.
During the break, Warriors coach Kerr looked at Green and asked, "Do you realize your mistake now?"
Green glanced at Curry next to him.
He nodded.
There are only two people in the entire Warriors team who can block Green, one is coach Cole and the other is Curry.
At this time, in front of Curry and Cole, he had to admit that he had indeed made a mistake just now.
He shook his head slightly and said, "I fell into that guy's trap. I was pissed off by him. That guy is just a nasty bastard."
Kerr said: "You are also a jerk in the eyes of your opponents."
"So his being an asshole is just a way to piss you off. If you're really pissed off, then you're playing into his trap."
Green nodded: "Don't worry, I won't fall into his trap again. Instead, I will let him fall into my trap."
At the beginning of the second quarter, Curry and Green came on the court together, while Clay stayed off the court.
Nowadays, the core lineup of the Warriors is also quite aging.
Curry is 37 years old this year, and Clay and Green are both 35 years old.
Cole has to ensure the team's record while also finding ways to allocate the playing time of these three people so that they can get enough rest. This is indeed difficult.
Of course, the aging of the Kings is even more serious.
James and Paul are both 40 years old.
But Wang Yi is indeed quite young.
So at this time, Wang Yi continued to play with the team, allowing Paul and James to get more rest time.
After Wang Yi came on the court, he faced Green again.
At this time, after using the screen, he replaced Green in front of him again.
Then keep crossing and changing directions.
Then he made a fake move of worshiping Buddha, and Green rushed to defend him.
However, Wang Yi lowered his head and hit the middle distance directly.
However, after reaching the middle distance, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he turned back and glanced at Green.
That look was full of provocation.
I've obviously got past you, but I just won't make a move.
Oh, it's just for fun.
Green suddenly felt a little angry again.
But after learning the lesson just now, he still said to himself in his heart: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, he just wants to anger me and want me to make mistakes."
Ever since, he came to Wang Yi and defended Wang Yi again.
At this time, Wang Yi once again pulled back to the outside line, and Green followed suit and came to the outside line.
Wang Yi kept dribbling behind his back and changing directions.
This is a new skill he has mastered through hard practice. When dribbling behind the back, when you want to change direction, it is difficult for your opponent to judge which way you are changing direction.
For example, Wang Yi is dribbling the ball with his hands crossed behind his back.
According to the rhythm of dribbling, the right hand should dribble the ball to the left hand. But the moment Wang Yi's right hand touched the ball behind his back, he suddenly twisted his wrist backhand, and the ball went out from the right side in an instant.
At this time, Green was moving to Wang Yi's left side. Wang Yi bent down and dribbled the ball directly to break through from the right side.
Green had no defense at all and could only quickly retreat to the left rear. However, Wang Yi looked like he was about to pass Green, but suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand and pulled the ball out of the three-point line.
Seeing this, Green quickly wanted to jump outside the three-point line, but after retreating and jumping again, his brain reacted, and his feet did not react at all.
He stumbled under his feet.
The whole person suddenly fell backward and fell to the ground.
He was knocked down directly by Wang Yi.
"oh……"
The audience at the scene suddenly cheered in surprise, but soon their voices fell silent again, and they all looked at Wang Yi.
Looking forward to the next moments.
I saw that Wang Yi did not take action immediately after knocking Green down.
Instead, he shook his shoulders, full of provocation and ridicule.
After shaking his shoulders, he shot casually from outside the three-point line just like normal training.
Swish——
Three point hit.
When the fans in the audience saw the ball hit, they all made loud noises.
They have seen many of Wang Yi's dunks, and many of his blocks and steals, but they have not seen Wang Yi knock down other players a few times.
After all, it is difficult to knock down a player on the court, and Wang Yi's passing now basically relies solely on speed.
He has already passed before his opponent can react, so it is rare to see him knocking other players down.
What's more, what Wang Yi knocked down at this time was the newly promoted best defensive player this season.
After Wang Yi scored, he showed his hands to Green, who was sitting on the floor:
Chapter completed!
