Returning to the offensive end, this time the Lakers were on guard against Wang Yi passing to Bond.
Wang Yi did not pass it to anyone else, but directly passed it to Rose in the mid-range.
Ross had a moment of opportunity to take action.
But next to him, Arthur has already moved towards him. If he takes action, Wang Arthur will definitely block the shot.
In the past, Rose would stabilize the ball or pass it out.
But after receiving Wang Yi's pass today, Rose felt that the ball felt great in his hands at that moment.
He also gained a lot of confidence.
So even though he saw Bond rushing towards him, he still pulled it out and took action.
It's just that when he takes action, he leans back so much that his whole body seems to have reached a 45-degree angle with the ground.
Although Arthur tried his best to rush over, because of his backward tilt, the distance between his fingertips and the basketball was still less than one centimeter.
At this distance of less than one centimeter, the basketball flew smoothly from his fingers and finally slid into the basket like a loach entering water.
After Rose hit the ball, he looked at his hand in surprise.
I have never had this strange feeling before, as if the ball is in my hands and I will definitely make it.
In the next few minutes, Wang Yi passed the ball to every player on the field.
Whether it is Danny, Bond or Rose, they will have a strange feeling after receiving Wang Yi's pass.
I felt that they were bound to score the ball, so they were very confident and took action immediately after getting the ball.
As a result, each of their shooting percentages were surprisingly high.
At the same time, Wang Yi also passed it on to Tours.
Tours used to be just a blue-collar insider and rarely attacked, but today after getting the ball from Wang Yi, he also had a very strange feeling. He felt that even if he didn't attack the ball, he wouldn't be able to afford such a good touch.
So he attacked directly after getting the ball.
One was deducted;
scored a layup;
There was even a long two-pointer.
As a result, the Lakers' advantage was completely contained, while the Kings were in full bloom.
By the 8th minute of the first quarter, the Kings had led by as many as 17 points.
Lakers fans are not surprised by this.
The Kings almost always led in the first quarter of the previous games, and at one time they led by as much as 24 points.
But in the second half, Wang Yi's physical fitness declined and the Kings had no one available. The Lakers could easily recover the score.
For example, this was the case in the last game.
So they didn't panic at all.
However, Lakers coach Darwin frowned at this time.
Tonight's game is completely different than before.
In the previous games, the reason why the Kings were able to take such a big lead in the first quarter was because Wang Yi showed his dominance on both offense and defense right from the start.
Wang Yi's physical fitness is also a big problem. When his physical fitness declines in the second half, his efficiency will inevitably drop. By then, the Kings will not have a strong point on both offense and defense, so he is not panicked at all.
But today was different. There were two major unexpected factors after the Kings came up.
One is their insider Bond, who was uncharacteristically different today. He was not as soft as before, but very tough, and even dared to confront Arthur head-on.
The second one is that every member of the Kings team feels online today, and everyone seems to be very confident and shoots as soon as they get the ball.
Even Tours, who has never had a mid-range shot, actually hit a mid-range shot and a long two-pointer today.
This is also different from before.
Why did the Kings change like this?
Darwin thought about it and finally found a possible reason, which is that the Kings have Wang Yi playing point guard today.
In my impression, those shots that those people shot very confidently were all assisted by Wang Yi.
Thinking of this, Coach Darwin waved to the assistant coach next to him, took the tablet from the assistant coach's hand, and looked at the data of the players on both sides.
Upon seeing this, I suddenly felt enlightened.
His eyes were fixed on Wang Yi's data on the screen.
0 points, 10 assists and 3 rebounds.
It looks like the backboard is normal.
But this score is abnormal.
Since Wang Yi came to the Kings, it is rare to see him score no points in the first quarter.
And the least normal thing is his assists.
10 assists in a single quarter!
Played 8 minutes and had 10 assists!!
This is going to be outrageous!!!
You know, even those excellent point guards only had about 10 assists in the entire game.
Wang Yi is better, whoever passes the ball to the ball has to shoot, and anyone who shoots can make the ball.
This damn thing is like seeing a ghost.
It would be better if Wang Yi scored by himself.
Now he directly passes the ball to his teammates to let the whole team flourish, which is a bit difficult.
At this time, Wang Yi and Rose took a break, while Danny and Bond were watching the game.
The Kings coach thinks this is an opportunity to chase points, so they are still the main force.
And he told the players to continue playing inside.
Bond has already committed two fouls. If there is another foul, Bond will have to go down.
Once Bond is gone, the Kings will have no advantage in the paint.
So the Lakers focused on playing inside.
In these four minutes, Arthur Wang went inside and made a dunk;
One layup was made, but one was blocked by Bond. The other was not blocked, but under Bond's long-arm defense, Arthur Wang missed the layup.
50% success rate.
It doesn't look too low, but it's a bit lower than the success rate of Arthur Wang's breakthrough into the paint in the previous games.
Even King Arthur is like this, so there is no need for others to say it.
When Bond really wants to defend, his static talent comes into full play.
Thick eyebrows were covered again;
Although Patton was not blocked after coming in, he failed to score two consecutive layups under Bond's defense.
Only then did they realize that Bond's defensive coverage was so large.
As long as they come to the penalty area, it will be difficult to find space to shoot.
On the offensive end, Danny hit a three-pointer;
Bond dunks himself;
The second attack tied into one.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers not only failed to close the score difference, but were even pulled further apart.
Trailing the Kings by 20 points in a single quarter.
Another big hole was dug.
This makes the entire Lakers team feel like they've eaten a piece of cake.
And Bond had 5 blocks, 6 rebounds, and 13 points in the first quarter.
Judging from his performance in this quarter alone, this guy played like a superstar.
During the break in the first quarter, O'Neal asked Pi Er next to him with a wicked smile:
"Who said before that the Kings' Bonds were too soft and allowed others to bully them? Today?"
Pi Er asked back: "Didn't you get slapped in the face too?"
O'Neal: "Uh..."
