Although Huazi felt that the ball should have gone in but it didn't, it was really strange.
But he didn't think too much about it. It was just a missed layup. Which NBA player has never missed a layup.
Looking back, he still went after Wang Yi.
His task tonight is to restrict Wang Yi.
When the Kings came to the frontcourt, Wang Yi was originally positioned in the mid-to-long range.
Based on what he thought, Edwards could not guard his mid-range by himself, so the Timberwolves would definitely send someone to double-team him, but to his surprise, the Timberwolves did not send anyone to double-team him.
Many people on the sidelines didn't understand, thinking that the Timberwolves were going all the way to darkness.
So many people shouted to Wang Yi: "Vote! Vote for him!"
But Wang Yi felt a little strange.
He clearly scored three consecutive goals from the mid-range, but the Timberwolves did not send anyone to double-team him.
Many people thought that there was something wrong with Timberwolves coach Saunders' on-the-spot reaction, but Wang Yi felt that something was fishy.
He turned to look at Sanders, a big-backed man, and saw that he was sitting firmly on the bench without any sign of panic. Wang Yi was even more sure of his inner thoughts.
There is 100% something wrong with this guy.
After a little thought, he figured it out.
He scored three mid-range shots in a row, but they still asked Edwards to guard them alone. Obviously they wanted him to continue playing like this.
They have clearly hit the target for three hours, but they still want to continue to beat Edwards alone like this. Are they being smart?
Of course not.
The only reason why they want to continue playing alone like this is to consume their own physical energy.
Physical fitness has been a problem since his comeback. Later, he finally solved the physical problem a little by playing as a substitute. But this time he returned to the starting lineup, so his physical fitness is still a big problem.
The Timberwolves coach saw this clearly, so he asked Edwards to defend himself alone and let himself continue to beat him in isolation.
It seems that I have succeeded every time, but in fact I have fallen into his defensive trap. If I continue like this and play alone every time, my physical energy will be exhausted very quickly, and I will be physically exhausted in the second half.
Wang Yi couldn't help but nodded secretly, this Timberwolves coach has such a clever method.
This is called playing hard to get.
But now that I have seen through his methods, I naturally can't let him lead me by the nose.
Therefore, Wang Yi did not go to the mid-range to get the ball, but directly went to the line to cover Rose.
Rose is also a veteran who has been playing in the court for 20 years. When he saw Wang Yi, who had been hit three times in a row and was feeling hot, he suddenly mentioned going up to the line to cover himself, he understood it after a little thought.
.
Basketball is a sport for five people. If every ball is given to one player to play, then this player will be exhausted and unable to win.
What's more, Wang Yi's physical fitness at this time has not reached the standard of an NBA player.
So Rose used Wang Yi's cover to reach the middle distance.
Of course, his current pace has reached his limit.
The other party has already stopped in front of him.
So Rose faked a turn-over jump shot, then hit the ball to the basket.
Tours, who was under the basket, got the ball and was about to dunk, but seeing Towns and Kazai blocking him, his dunk suddenly changed direction.
A hand was passed from Downs and Kazai's ribs to Bond behind them.
Although Bond's style of play is soft, it is still very easy to dunk without anyone guarding him.
But even when he was dunking, he didn't look violent, but still put the ball into the basket gently and gentlemanly.
Huazi couldn't help but frown when he saw that Wang Yi no longer attacked in the mid-range, but went to the line as a cover.
Was this guy spotted?
Then he looked at coach Sanders on the sidelines.
The Timberwolves head coach on the sidelines was staring at Wang Yi closely at this time.
Was this discovered by Wang Yi?
What a smart guy.
It only took three rounds to see through his defensive trap.
But it doesn't matter if you find out.
The thing that the Kings are most confident about now is Wang Yi's mid-range shot, and now Wang Yi is unwilling to take the mid-range shot because he has seen through this. This is exactly what the Timberwolves are happy to see.
This is the genius of the Timberwolves coach.
I will let you Wang Yi go it alone.
If you continue to work alone, your physical fitness will not be good;
If you don't do it alone, you'll give up your most certain scoring point.
Anyway, I don't lose anything.
On the Kings side, D'Antoni on the sidelines also realized this, but he did not panic at all, because Wang Yi was on the court and he knew that Wang Yi should be able to handle this situation.
Next it's back to the Timberwolves' offensive possession.
After they dribbled to the frontcourt, Edwards and Towns did a pick-and-roll.
Towns mentioned going to the line to provide a screen for Edwards, and Huazi used the screen to break through and rush to the inside.
This caused the Kings' interior defense to become slightly confused for a moment.
Seeing that Tours and Bond were both out of position, Wang Yi quickly moved inside to defend Huazi.
It stands to reason that Huazi can make a layup on this ball himself, and with his physical fitness, he can directly dunk Wang Yi directly.
But after he switched to the point position, if Towns was on the court, he would more often choose to pass the ball to Towns.
The same goes for this ball.
Seeing Wang Yi in front of him, and Towns on the other side had already followed suit, he threw the ball directly off the backboard.
After the basketball bounced off the backboard, Towns also jumped high, caught the ball, and then made a powerful dunk across Wang Yi.
Wang Yi also jumped high at this time, although he knew that his current jumping height would not prevent Towns from dunking.
But being unable to prevent it is one thing; whether you have tried hard to prevent it is another matter.
As the boss of the team, if you see the opponent trying to dunk you, you avoid it.
Then it must be a big blow to the team's momentum.
On the contrary, even if you can't defend, but you try hard to defend, engage in a tough physical confrontation with the opponent, and show your toughness, it will also give the team's players confidence.
So at this time, even if Wang Yi risked a foul or injury, he straightened his arms and jumped high without hesitation.
Towns is nearly 20 centimeters taller than him, and he can jump better than him at this time.
Wang Yi straightened his arm and could only reach Towns' elbow.
Downs roared angrily and violently smashed him down.
The force sank with great force, the earth collapsed and the mountains shook!
Bang——
The basket made a huge noise, and the entire basket was even pulled to the point of deformation, and the basket frame continued to tilt forward and back.
As the second center after Embiid, Towns is also extremely impactful when dunking.
Even at the scene, the Kings fans closed their eyes.
They couldn't bear to see Towns dunking Wang Yi, and they couldn't bear to see Wang Yi being knocked out by Towns' huge body.
However, when they opened their eyes a moment later, they did not see the basketball entering the basket.
Instead, I saw the basketball bounce high, far beyond the height of the timer.
Deduction!?

Chapter completed!
