Knicks coach Thibodeau is a tough coach who is famous for his defense.
He told the players:
"Wang Yi's three-point scoring in each game can account for 1/4 of his average points per game, and his mid-range and basket offense can account for 3/4 of his average points per game, so we mainly focus on defense in this game.
Wang Yi’s inside score.”
"We adopt a zone defense strategy. As for the other players of the Kings, whoever rushes in will rush in. Our main defensive target is Wang Yi. We can use double teams, triple teams, or even four or five teams for him."
"In short, we cannot let him score at any cost."
When all the players heard this, they all understood what the coach meant.
The game can be lost, but Wang Yi must die.
Finally, the coach encouraged all the players:
"In short, no matter what, this game cannot allow Wang Yi to score 65 points. We cannot be the backdrop for him to create history. We are also human beings, players, not someone's foil or someone's background."
Head coach Thibodeau spoke impassionedly, and all the players at the scene were excited.
At the same time, many fans have come to the scene, including many big-name fans.
One of the most die-hard fans is the great director Spike Lee.
He is a loyal fan of the New York team. Not only must he watch every home game, but he will also go to the away games whenever he has time.
In his words, he has spent tens of millions of dollars just watching New York's games.
This is nothing to brag about.
His seats are almost always in the front rows.
The price of these two rows ranges from ten to twenty thousand dollars.
During some important games, such as Kobe Bryant's retirement game, the first-row tickets cost US$7 to 8 million.
Quite an exaggeration.
Eighty-two games a year, and he attends all 41 home games. If he attends five or six away games, it will already be almost 500,000 US dollars.
Even if he buys a home game package, which will be discounted, it still costs at least US$400,000.
400,000 a year, watching football for 30 years, definitely tens of millions of dollars.
A person is willing to spend tens of millions of dollars just to watch a team play, which shows how loyal he is to this team.
At this time, the players from both sides have not entered the stadium yet, and the DJ on the scene is already instigating the emotions of the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all New York fans, there is a madman coming to our Madison Square Garden tonight to cause trouble. Will we allow him to run wild in our North Shore Garden Arena?"
"No."
Almost all the fans at the scene replied.
"Are we going to let him be the backdrop for us to be the backdrop for him to make history?"
"No."
"So when he enters the stadium, we ask everyone to shout - Data Brush."
All the audience shouted in unison.
"Data brush, data brush, data brush."
At this time, the great director Spike Lee, who was on the scene, frowned slightly when he heard this.
Now almost the entire league knows not to anger Wang Yi.
The consequences of angering Wang Yi are unbearable for you.
But if we don’t do that, will we just watch Wang Yi score 65 points in this arena?
The fans in this arena are notoriously tough.
Even if the players of your home team don't play well, they will be booed wildly.
Now the visiting team's guys are coming to wreak havoc on their court, can they bear it?
There is no coward in this arena. Even if they know that angering him will have serious consequences, they still want to confront him and crush him to death with the huge noise at home.
This is the New York Knicks, this is the holy land of basketball: Madison Square Garden!
So next, when the Kings players came on the field, there was a neat and loud noise.
"Data brush!"
"Data brush!"
"Data brush!"
…
On the sidelines, the great director Spike Lee, who was tall and short, wearing a baseball cap, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a big gold chain, had already stood up and pointed at Wang Yi.
"Data brush."
"Data brush!"
"Data brush!"
When Wang Yi heard so many people shouting "data sand", especially Spike Lee shouting "data brush" from such a close distance, instead of getting angry, he gave a fist-cup salute.
The left hand becomes a fist, the right hand becomes a palm, and the right palm presses the left fist, saying to Spike Lee:
"It's embarrassing!"
Spike Lee was slightly startled.
As a great director, he is well-informed and naturally knows what this gesture means.
Isn't this the etiquette used by ancient Chinese people when they met?
We booed him like this and said he was a data brusher, but he also gave me a fist salute."
Although he understood the Chinese fist-holding ceremony, his understanding was not detailed.
The left palm and right fist are Jibai;
The left fist and the right palm are for fierce worship.
At this time, Wang Yi fisted his left hand and palmed his right hand, which meant that I am going to mess with you.
Not to mention the great director Spike Lee, most Chinese audiences don’t understand this.
When they saw Wang Yi giving a fist salute to Naspic, they were all a little confused.
"Brother Yi, everyone in the audience is scolding you, and you salute to them. What does that mean?"
"Brother Yi, I don't understand this."
And in China, within the Tencent NBA live broadcast room.
Yang Yi, who has studied storytelling since primary school, answered this action.
"The left hand and the right hand are good, and the left hand and the right hand are bad. Wang Yi's left hand and right hand means that I am going to take action."
After he said this, the audience finally understood.
On site at this time.
Both sides started jumping the ball.
Wang Yi did not get any experience card today.
With his current strength, even without an experience card, he can dominate the entire league.
The Knicks' starting five today.
Windy City Rose Rose;
center Randall;
forwards Barrett and Fournier;
Guard Kemba Walker.
The Knicks have a small lineup, with the tallest center Randle only standing at 2.03 meters.
The Kings’ lineup is:
Wang Yi;
Mitchell;
Danny;
Tours;
Xiao Qiao.
The Kings currently have basically no one available in the back line.
So Mitchell, who barely played last year, has become a starter this year.
As for the power forward, there is no one available, so this year's rookie Tours takes the starting position.
This is the Kings lineup.
This lineup mainly relies on Wang Yi's offense and defense, as well as Danny's three-pointers.
Xiao Qiao is mainly here for transit.
When the two sides jumped to the ball in the center circle, Xiao Qiao jumped to the ball with his height advantage.
The New York Knicks immediately reached the three-point line.
According to what the coach said, the five of them all defended with their feet on the three-point line.
They can't let Wang Yi shoot three-pointers, but at the same time, they can't let Wang Yi break into the paint and score.
However, Wang Yi did not try to break into the inside line at this time.
Instead, he directly set up a pick-and-roll with Xiao Qiao in the backcourt.
Xiao Qiao fended off the defender for Wang Yi, and Wang Yi directly dribbled the ball with his foot on the center line and passed the half court.
He was guarded by Fengcheng Rose, who was sticking closely to Wang Yi.
Chapter completed!
