Kidd asked Mavericks players to double-team Wang Yi.
Instead of double-teaming after catching the ball, as long as Wang Yi has the tendency to catch the ball, he immediately steps forward to double-team.
The Lakers attack and Caruso dribbles forward.
Wang Yi did not go to the frontcourt immediately.
Instead, he followed Caruso.
When Caruso dribbled to the midline, he suddenly accelerated toward the three-point line.
The Mavericks players felt nervous and quickly lowered their center of gravity to defend.
But at this moment, without looking back at all, Caruso raised his right hand backwards with one hand, and the ball flew backwards.
At this moment, Wang Yi just crossed the center line.
Reach out to catch the ball.
Seeing this, the two substitute guards of the Mavericks rushed towards Wang Yi together.
However, it's too late.
Wang Yi faced two opponents who rushed towards him like wolves, but he ignored them at all.
He raised his hand and pushed the ball out.
All the fans at the scene, as well as all the Mavericks players and coaches, were all worried.
Come again!?
Bang!
The basketball hit the basket hard.
All Mavericks fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it didn't go in.
It would be really scary if you were to enter.
However, this rebound was pulled out by Harrell hard.
And because it was dialed too far, it flew right towards Wang Yi at the center line.
So Wang Yi caught the ball again without moving at all.
The two defensive players rushed over to double-team him again.
Wang Yi still ignored them.
He looked at the basket as if looking at an sworn enemy.
He raised his hand casually and pushed the ball out.
The basketball is like a javelin, drawing a very high arc in the air.
Whoosh!
It penetrated into the heart of this enemy.
It also penetrated into Kidd's heart.
In the basket, the white net looks like white blood spraying out.
Kidd shook his head repeatedly and scratched his head helplessly.
If he were a Chinese, he would probably say: It hurts my heart, I am old and weak.
After scratching his forehead, he shouted a jaw-dropping order to the players on the court:
"As soon as he crosses the half court, double-team him! No matter if he has the ball in his hand or not!"
The assistant coach next to him opened his eyes wide and looked at Kidd in disbelief.
Doncic and other players on the bench also looked at Kidd with wide eyes, their expressions were exactly the same as the assistant coach's.
The Mavericks players on the court also looked at Kidd.
Hey, hey, coach, are you going to be so outrageous?
We tolerated double-teaming him as soon as the half was over, but he had to double-team even though he didn't have the ball in his hand. Isn't this outrageous?
If there is no ball, double team the ball.
Imagine that scene: Wang Yi is standing in a corner of the court without the ball. Two Mavericks players, one on the left and one on the right, double-team, leaving Wang Yi on the left and right. Then the remaining Lakers players can fight four
Three, how can we still play?
The Mavericks players on the court were very confused about this order.
Did the coach make a mistake?
Or did they hear wrongly?
But when Kidd saw them standing there stunned, he couldn't help being furious:
"What I'm saying is that no matter whether he has the ball or not, he will be double-teamed after halftime. Is that clear enough? Do you want me to say it a third time?!"
The Mavericks players on the court no longer dared to hesitate and nodded one after another.
The coach's meaning is very clear: he can let other Lakers players play more and less, and he will not let Wang Yi let go.
Because the efficiency of other Lakers players in playing more and less is probably not as high as that of Wang Yi himself.
Wang Yi is completely crazy!
In one game, Logo shot 5 of 6 three-pointers. How could anyone play like this?
Do you want to show off your face?
So, in the next round, when the Lakers attacked again, this strange scene appeared on the court.
Wang Yi walked along the right sideline, just after halftime.
Two Mavericks players blocked Wang Yi's path forward.
Then the other players on the Lakers are playing 4-on-3.
After passing the ball into the inside, he easily scored 2 points.
Some fans at the scene spread their hands in confusion:
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Two players double-teaming the king who doesn't have the ball? Isn't this ridiculous?"
"It's time for Kidd to go home and nurse the baby. Shaq's grandma wouldn't be that bad if he came to coach."
In the NBA, O'Neal's grandmother is omnipotent.
She won the championship with Jordan and served as the head coach of various teams;
Served as the general manager of the team and the team owner.
If you look through it carefully, you may even be able to build an atomic bomb.
Of course, some fans expressed their understanding and said the all-powerful saying: "You can do what you want. Kidd has done a good enough job. Otherwise, what should I do? Just let the Chinese guy free his hands and feet?"
The bald commentator Flowell smiled bitterly:
"Actually, I understand Kidd's thinking very well. Even if the other Lakers players are asked to play four on three, they will only score two points each time. But if this Oriental is given even a chance, it will most likely be three points."
Harper rubbed his brown eyes and said:
"I agree with your point of view. In fact, two points or three points are not important. It's that this guy always scores three-pointers with the logo. The visual impact is too strong - far stronger than a dunk or alley-oop.
.This has a huge impact on the morale of our Mavericks."
"If he makes two more three-pointers like this, the Mavericks' morale may fall to the bottom. Then there will be no need to play in the fourth quarter."
In fact, Kidd did think so.
So for the next two minutes, Wang Yi didn't have to do anything on the court.
Just standing there after half time.
Next to him were two Mavericks players, looking at him like a prisoner.
In these two minutes, other Lakers players made 5 of 6 shots and scored 10 points in a four-on-three situation.
The Mavericks made 3 of 6 shots and only had 6 points.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers widened the point difference to 7 points.
But in Kidd's opinion, this is completely acceptable.
It's better than letting that madman throw a few more logo three-pointers.
As for Wang Yi’s decline in physical fitness and shooting percentage?
Kidd no longer dared to think like this.
Because he found that Wang Yi's physical fitness seems to be no longer as bad as before.
He knew that Wang Yi insisted on running 10 kilometers every morning.
I'm afraid this is the reason why Wang Yi's physical fitness has become stronger.
Thinking of this, he sighed secretly: A player with ambitious goals, self-discipline, and hard work is really scary.
During the break, he said to the players:
"You've done a great job. You will still maintain the same defensive strategy when you go on the field later."
Then he turned to the two substitute defenders who had just defended Wang Yi and said:
"Especially you, you did a great job. I'll treat you to dinner after the game."
Two substitute defenders, you look at me and I look at you.
We haven't done anything.
For the past few minutes, we and the Chinese guy had been standing in the corner watching the show.
Is this... great?
It seems that the so-called "great" is not that difficult after all.
On the Lakers side, Vogel patted Wang Yi on the shoulder and said:
"Wang Yi, you did a great job in these two minutes."
Wang Yi was stunned.
I haven't done anything.
Just watching the show in the corner with the two Mavericks players.
Is this... great?
Chapter completed!
