Middleton feels so hot that he doesn't care whether there is a defender in front of him or not.
Moreover, he is 2.01 meters tall, nearly 10 centimeters taller than Wang Yi.
So he simply ignored Wang Yi's defense, pulled up and shot a three-pointer decisively.
However, just when he took action, Wang Yi had already jumped up.
When Middleton jumped to the highest point to take action, he suddenly found that Wang Yi's hands were blocking him like a volleyball blocking action.
This surprised Middleton.
How could this guy jump so high?
He was obviously nearly ten centimeters lower than him, and his wingspan was probably only a little over two meters.
Why was it that after he jumped up, he was five centimeters higher than his starting point?
Bang!
The basketball hit Wang Yi's hand.
The block was successful.
At the same time, when Wang Yi fell, he took advantage of the situation and got the ball.
Throw it directly into the frontcourt.
Pope got the ball and ran forward wildly.
But he didn't get a layup.
Instead, throw the ball toward the backboard.
At the same time, a following humanoid tank actually flew up.
Intercepted the basketball with one hand in the air.
Bang——
A loud bang echoed throughout Staples.
One-handed chop!
Moreover, the take-off height of this dunk is extremely high, and the head is almost flush with the basket.
Who would have thought that a 38-year-old man could still hit the basket and make dunks.
This ball instantly detonated Staples.
At the same time, it also boosted the momentum of the Lakers players on the court.
When defending in the next round, work harder.
The Lakers coach waved from the sidelines, asking Wang Yi and Pope to switch defenses.
It’s up to Wang Yi to defend Middleton.
Although he is nearly 10 centimeters shorter than Middleton in height, Wang Yi's lateral movement speed is extremely fast.
In addition, he almost seemed immortal on the court, running all the time.
This is enough to entangle Middleton and prevent him from catching the ball and shooting.
Sure enough, every time Middleton caught the ball, Wang Yi was almost by his side.
Middleton was blocked once just now and was slightly hesitant when he took action.
Of course, the Bucks also have catch-and-shoot tactics designed for Middleton.
But don't forget, the Lakers have a pervert like James.
His abnormality is not only reflected in his inhuman physical quality.
And his perverted memory.
When he was a child, he and his friends liked to play a fighting game.
Only he can remember all combos of all game characters.
So he can easily crush all his friends.
On the field, he only needs to see the opponent's tactics once and he can remember the opponent's tactics and movements.
You know, there are 30 teams in the NBA, and each team has at least dozens of tactics.
If there are many, there may even be hundreds of sets.
And many teams are still developing new tactics.
If a person wants to remember so many tactics, what kind of abnormal memory does he have to have?
But he just remembers it.
So when the Bucks start running tactics, James will remind loudly:
"Ad, block the bottom corner, Middleton is going to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer there!"
"Pop, Drummond, guard the basket, Middleton will make an empty cut!"
"Wang, stay on the right side, Middleton is running in reverse."
Just imagine, when there is such a freak in the team, many of the opponent's tactics will be seen through.
How else is the other party going to play?
Of course, that doesn’t mean you’ll see through it every time.
The team will continue to develop new tactics. James has never seen half of the tactics and naturally cannot recognize them.
But at least the other half will be seen through by James.
Middleton only felt one way at this time: frustrated.
Many moves will be seen through, and Wang Yi can keep a close eye on him.
He has been unable to take action for several consecutive rounds.
Looking back, the Lakers' tactics actually worked well.
James took the ball at the top of the three-point arc, and Wang Yi kept running around the inside to cover.
Holiday sticks to him like candy.
When Wang Yi ran under the basket, he suddenly passed between Nong Mei and Zhuang Shen.
Holiday quickly wanted to catch up.
But Nong Mei and Zhuang Shen moved slightly to the middle, just like the elevator closing the door.
This is the elevator door tactic!
Of course, the elevator door tactic does not leave enough space for the defensive players and can easily lead to mobile screen fouls.
So this tactic rarely appears in the league now.
But Vogel has solved this perfectly.
The movements of Nong Mei and Zhuang Shen did not close the door.
Instead, there is a little gap left in the middle.
Holiday can squeeze through.
But if you squeeze through, you will get stuck a little bit.
This will put a little distance between him and Wang Yi.
At this time, Pope and James will form a second elevator door at the top of the arc.
When Wang Yi passed through the elevator door, Pope and James moved to the middle.
Holiday was slightly stuck by the first elevator door, so when he came to the second elevator door, the elevator door had already closed.
This will not result in a moving screen foul.
If Holiday wants to defend Wang Yi again, he can only bypass the elevator door.
But then it would be too late.
As for the rest of the Bucks, they have never seen this tactic before.
I don’t know who will finish off the Lakers in the end. So the defense is a bit messy.
When James closed the door, he passed the ball hand to hand to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi did not hesitate at all.
As soon as his feet touched the three-point line, he shot straight away.
Without any defense, it is still a more labor-saving way of throwing.
The basketball rushes to the basket without hesitation.
Whoosh!
A solid three-pointer.
The score difference instantly reached 17 points.
The audience at the scene was instantly excited.
But these fans are not that professional after all.
I don’t know what’s so exciting about this shot.
All they saw was Wang Yi hitting a three-pointer.
The commentators are more professional than the fans.
Pat Riley was surprised:
"Whoa - this is...double elevator door tactic?"
Sunderland also smiled and shook his head:
"Double elevator doors?! Vogel, a coach who is good at defense, can come up with such a weird offensive tactic. It's really amazing."
In the Tencent NBA live broadcast hall, Zhang Weiping, the instructor, shouted three times in a row.
"Hohoho, this is... the double elevator door tactic?!"
"The Warriors once used the elevator door tactic, which was complained by many teams. Later, the referees were very strict on the mobile screens in this tactic, so the Warriors had to abandon this tactic."
"But now Vogel's double elevator doors, although the first door is moving, it obviously leaves a certain amount of space for the defender. This level of physical contact is far from a mobile cover.
So the purpose of this first gate is just to slow down Holiday."
"In this way, the second door can be completely closed before Holiday arrives."
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
"Sometimes when you see the tactics and routines of NBA coaches, they are really amazing!"
Ke Fan nodded and said:
"And from this goal, we can also see how great Wang Yi's three-point threat is."
Director Zhang immediately responded:
"That's right. Wang Yi shoots alone, and four teammates cover him. This not only shows the great three-point threat of Wang Yi, but also shows the importance of his tactical position in the Lakers."
"What is reasonable? This is called reasonable."
"This is what basketball should be like. Wang Yi's three-point shooting percentage reached 45%, which is very high. But he can't make random shots from the outside. You have to use tactics!"
"Of course, if you have Wang Yi's three-point touch, you can make a blind shot sometimes. But it's okay to hit it occasionally. If you make blind shots like this every game, it won't work at all."
He said both pros and cons, and in the end Ke Fan could only make a concluding statement in despair.
But he was not willing to say too little.
So this time I added a few words:
Chapter completed!
