Bucks coach Budenholzer said to the players: "Wang Yi's exit is a good time for us to chase points."
After hearing this, the Bucks players all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Wang Yi is on the court, he is like a big mountain, weighing them down and making it difficult for them to breathe.
After Wang Yi came off the court, the Kings' offense and defense obviously dropped a level.
On the Kings side, Kings coach D'Antoni said to Wang Yi: "Wang, it's time for you to rest."
Wang Yi shook his head: "Coach, I'm not tired yet."
Although he has already reached 7 blocks, Wang Yi thought that if he could get a few more blocks, he could complete the system task as soon as possible and unlock that new personal field.
D'Antoni looked at Wang Yi, obviously not surprised by his behavior, but he still wanted to make sure:
"Are you sure it's okay?"
Wang Yi nodded: "Of course, I'm sure."
D'Antoni could only nod.
So when the Kings took the field next time, it was again with the entire starting lineup.
Bucks head coach Budenholzer couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.
Damn it!
This is just the first game of the season, are you going to fight like this?
The Bucks players looked at the Kings lineup on the field and then turned to look at the coach.
Coach, didn't you say he would rest?
Fairy tales are all lies.
After taking the field again, the Bucks served first.
Since Irving and Durant are not on the court, Wang Yi now focuses on Middleton.
Under Wang Yi's strict defense, Middleton naturally cannot attack directly by dribbling. He needs to use screens and cut and run without the ball, and then catch the ball and shoot directly.
However, Wang Yi seemed to be extremely energetic on the defensive end today, giving him no chance to cut and move.
On the other side, Holiday seems to have never adjusted since he was beaten by Wang Yi last season.
Especially against Wang Yi's team today, he was in extremely poor condition, and his two empty layups missed the mark.
Then the Bucks can only leave it to Antetokounmpo to fight.
However, Wang Yi's defense was very fast today, and he was always able to get to the basket as quickly as possible, interfering with Antetokounmpo's shot at the moment he took action, or directly blocking the shot.
Seeing that the Bucks couldn't deal with these three people, they could only replace Durant and Irving on the court after taking a two-minute rest.
The Big Five are more at ease on the court.
After the Big Five took the field, Wang Yi once again defended Irving.
The Bucks saw that Wang Yi was mainly defending Irving, and Irving had no chance to attack, so Durant and others planned to use their strength.
But Wang Yi performed very hard on the defensive end.
Although he is guarding Irving, he is not just guarding Irving.
When he adds help defense, his defense can cover a large area.
For example, he is guarding Irving from outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, but in fact he can almost cover the entire 45-degree right side, all the way to the basket.
From a visual point of view, Wang Yi mainly defends Irving, but he can always appear in front of several others when they are shooting.
As a result, the Bucks' offense appears to be extremely difficult.
On the offensive end, the Kings have strengthened their cooperation with James and Joe.
All three of them have very strong passing awareness.
When these three people pass the ball to each other, they completely mess around with the defensive players.
At this time, Kings head coach D'Antoni was thankful that the Kings signed Joe.
With the addition of a pivot like Joe, the Kings can evolve more than a dozen tactics.
This makes the game easier.
At the end of the first half, the Kings already led by 15 points.

Xu Jingyu analyzed:
"Have you noticed that Brother Yi's game today is very different from last season? What's different is that on the defensive end, his help defense has increased, and his defensive coverage area is wider."
"Although he could defend from outside the three-point line to the basket in the past, maybe to save energy, he didn't help defend much like that. But today he will definitely help defend whenever he has the opportunity, and as long as he helps defend,
The effect is very obvious.”
"I analyzed that the reason for this is because he failed to be elected as the best defensive player last season. Why did he fail to be elected as the best defensive player last season? It is because those media people said that he had few assist defenses, not as much as Gobert and Green."
"Basketball is a sport for five people, and it must be more of a team. So this season, I will show it to the media."
"And when Brother Yi spares no effort to help defend, it will be a disaster for the opponent."
The facts are indeed as analyzed by Xu Jingyu.
Wang Yi failed to win the Best Defensive Player Award last season, so he made up his mind to slap those people in the face this season.
But this is just one of the original favors.
In addition to this reason, there are two other reasons.
One is that the system task requires him to block shots. If he wants to block more shots, he can't just defend his opponent. He has to add more help defense.
Another reason is that he feels that it is boring to defeat the opponent only with offense nowadays, and it is more interesting to directly kill the opponent's offense with defense, which Wang Yi finds more interesting.
Based on the above three points, Wang Yi worked so hard in assisting defense.
In the entire first half, Wang completed a total of 8 blocks.
His score was 20 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds.
This makes people wonder, will Wang Yi get a 4-double today?
Having said that, Wang Yi has scored a total of 11 quadruple-doubles in the past few seasons.
Twice as much as everyone else in history combined.
In the Bucks locker room at this time.
Head coach Budenholzer looked downcast as he looked at the silent players in front of him.
Originally, Durant and Irving joined the Bucks this year, which raised huge expectations for the Bucks.
Looking at all the teams in the league today, the one that can resist Wang Yi is the Bucks, which can be called the Big Five.
The Bucks themselves also believe that with the Big Five, they won't be beaten again and again by Wang Yi.
However, they didn't expect that they had such high expectations, but they failed so miserably.
As soon as I came up, I encountered a wake-up call.
Was stretched by 15 points.
How embarrassing it would be if the five giants lost to Wang Yi in their first game together.
So he clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the players:
"I just want to tell you one thing. If we lose this game, how will the outside world laugh at our Big Five? Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone was silent, especially the Big Five, who all lowered their heads.
Antetokounmpo took off the bandage on his ankle and put it on again and again.
He played so focused.
But the intensity with which he applied the bandage showed his determination at this time.
Chapter completed!
