Just when the situation of the Kings was extremely difficult, just when everyone thought that the Kings would lose this game.
A person that no one expected stood up.
Bronny James.
Of course, before the start of the fourth quarter, no one thought that he would become the breaking point in this game.
After coming on the court in the fourth quarter.
Wang Yi is still dragging an injured foot and continues to fight, but because his initial burst was affected after the ankle sprain, it is difficult for him to get many opportunities to catch the ball under the tight double-teaming of the opponent, let alone
Got a chance to take action.
At this time, Brownie, who came on the bench, made a fake pass in the direction of Wang Yi after receiving the ball.
It was this fake move that immediately attracted the attention of the three opposing players, who all moved closer to Wang Yi. This way, Brownie had a smooth path in front of him, and he went directly to the inside and dunked successfully.
In the next round, Brownie interfered with Westbrook's shot on the defensive end.
After grabbing the rebound, he went directly to the front court for a fast break dunk.
Scored 4 points in two rounds, directly reducing the point difference to 11 points.
This immediately triggered a tsunami-like wave in the Golden 1 Center.
Everyone cheered excitedly.
James, who was sitting on the sidelines, jumped up and waved a towel.
Although he has announced his retirement, according to the rules, the team still needs to pay 20% of his salary, and the remaining 80% will be borne by the insurance company.
At this time, he was waving the towel and shouting continuously.
"Brownie... oh... brownie, brownie... oh... brownie."
His wife Savannah also stood up excitedly and kept clapping her hands.
Wang Yi came over, put his arm around Brownie's shoulders and patted him hard: "The little guy did a good job. You have also seen the team's situation now. I really need your help. For me, this is
A timely help."
Brownie received encouragement from the boss of the team and was very excited. He nodded heavily: "Don't worry, boss, we will get through this together."
After Wang Yi finished communicating with Browne, he turned to James, who was celebrating exaggeratedly on the sidelines, and pressed his palms out of thin air:
"Parent, please watch your face."
James ignored it at all, still looking like he had never seen the world.
Although the Lakers called a timeout, their defensive focus was still on Wang Yi after taking the field, and today Bronny's three-pointer felt like it was on fire.
After two consecutive breakthroughs, the third time was directly converted into a three-pointer.
Due to Wang Yi's attraction, there was little defensive pressure on Brownie's side, so he was able to easily get a three-point shot.
Ever since, his next three-point shot actually hit 3 of 4.
In this way, he scored 13 points in 6 minutes.
At this time, Wang Yi couldn't catch the ball on the offensive end, so he spent all his energy on the defensive end.
Wang Yi spends all his energy on the defensive end, which is amazing.
Arthur Wang was guarded by him and didn't score a single point in these 6 minutes.
And in terms of rebounding.
In these 6 minutes, 1/3 of the rebounds under the basket were grabbed by Wang Yi.
Coupled with Capela's crazy blocking and rebounding.
The Kings' rebounding was completely dominant.
Under this kind of attack and defense, the Kings gradually approached the point difference.
When the time finally came to the last two minutes, the Kings were only 7 points behind.
An average team is 7 points behind in two minutes. If they want to catch up, in addition to their own strength, they also need a lot of luck.
But for the Kings, being behind by 7 points in two minutes is nothing at all.
Because Wang Yi's seal was lifted in two minutes.
He can shoot from the backcourt.
That is equivalent to lengthening the entire defense line, making it difficult for the opponent to defend.
Even if Wang Yi does nothing and just stands in the backcourt, the opponent will have to send at least two people to double-team Wang Yi.
In this way, the rest of the Kings team is equivalent to 4 on 3.
As a result, the four of them passed three and two passes, and finally Capela dunked under the basket.
Looking back, the Kings continued to defend.
At this time, the Kings were working with all three armies, and everyone started to defend together.
Although this ball was fouled by Nongmei, Nongmei made one of two free throws, and the point difference was still 6 points.
The Kings continue to serve from the backcourt.
The two Lakers double-teamed Wang Yi, allowing the rest of the Kings to play 4-on-3. In the end, Bronny hit a three-pointer this time.
The point difference is only three points.
In this way, the Kings kept getting closer to the score.
In the end, with 24 seconds left on the clock, the Kings were only one point behind.
By this time, everyone remembered Wang Yi's words after the last game.
Not only the first game must be a decisive victory, but also the second, third, and fourth games.
At this time, everyone knew that Wang Yi was going to take the last shot.
And Wang Yi also did his part.
When the Kings served, he did not catch the ball first, but asked Bronny to catch the ball.
Just during the timeout, he told the players, no matter who gets the ball, give it to me at the last second.
Ever since, it was Blarney who was pressing for time.
Time passed by minute by second, and the entire Golden Center 1 seemed to be dead silent, with only Brownie slowly patting the basketball.
The thumping sound the basketball makes when it hits the ground is like a huge heart beating in the center of Golden No. 1.
Wang Yi has been on the right baseline.
He didn't seem to have any intention of catching the ball.
Some people are wondering whether the Kings will give Brownie the last shot because of Brownie's good offensive performance.
After all, all the defensive focus is on Wang Yi, and it is most reasonable for Bronny to go for a breakthrough and layup.
In fact, Brownie did exactly that.
In the last 5 seconds, he began to break through and kill the inside.
At this time, the Lakers obviously thought of this.
When Brownie entered the inside line, almost all the people who seemed to be guarding Wang Yi pounced on Brownie, leaving only two people here to guard Wang Yi.
Brownie deeply remembered what Wang Yi said before, so he threw the ball directly to Wang Yi in the right corner.
However, the ball was a little short when thrown due to interference.
At this moment, Wang Yi activated instantly and kicked the floor with his uninjured left foot, instantly bypassing Westbrook and Arthur Wang who were defending him.
Then he leaped high.
However, after he jumped up, he found that the pass was a bit short and a bit deflected.
He could only continue to glide forward as far as possible.
Finally caught the ball.
But after catching the ball, it was almost at a negative angle.
And at this time, Arthur Wang and Westbrook had also reacted.
They blocked Wang Yi's progress and Wang Yi's side breakthrough. At this time, the only way Wang Yi had left was to retreat.
But in that case, time would obviously not be enough.
In this case, Wang Yi did not land at all. After catching the ball, he relied on his strong waist and abdominal strength to control the balance, and then shot directly at a negative angle with his right hand.
The basketball crossed the top edge of the backboard and bounced four times in succession on the rim. These four times made all the fans, whether they were Kings fans or Lakers fans, feel as if their hearts were being hit by a huge boulder.
Every blow seemed to break their hearts into pieces.
Until finally, the basketball finally climbed into the basket.
Chapter completed!
