401 Coach, I want to play basketball
In the fourth quarter, both sides stood on the same starting line.
The Mosaic team started with its full lineup.
As for the Kings, Wang Yi was still sitting off the court to rest.
It's not that his physical fitness can't keep up, but that the season is very long.
Head coach Walton must control Wang Yi's playing time and not let his body get too tired.
Without Wang Yi, the main offensive firepower, other players simply cannot make up for the Kings' offensive losses.
In addition, their running and gun running was really terrible.
The points difference gradually widened.
Four minutes into the fourth quarter, they were already seven points behind.
"Coach, let me play."
Wang Yi couldn't hold it any longer and stood up.
Head coach Walton nodded: "Well, it's your turn to play."
From here we can see Wang Yi’s status change from the Lakers to the Kings.
When he was with the Lakers, he could only sit on the bench. No matter how anxious he was, he could only passively wait for the coach to call his name.
Now with the Kings, when he feels he needs to play, he can ask for it.
After Wang Yi came on the court, he started a pick-and-roll with Hield, came to the midline position, raised his hand and scored a logo 3-pointer.
The point difference narrowed to 4 points.
"Wow——"
This three-pointer with the logo made the Golden No. 1 Center, which had been silent for a long time, instantly burst into joy.
It also gave the Kings players a shot in the arm.
After that, both sides continued to bombard each other.
However, after only playing for two minutes, Wang Yi shook his head repeatedly.
The team's time to practice run-and-gun tactics was still too short, and they couldn't get out of position at all.
Seeing that the point difference has been widened to 13 points.
During the timeout, he glanced around, looked at all his teammates, and said domineeringly: "Give me the ball, and let the others pull away!"
All players were speechless.
Especially a player like Hield.
Although he admired Wang Yi's ability, he still felt a little disappointed because he couldn't personally participate in such an important moment of chasing points.
Head coach Walton also hesitated slightly.
The situation he least wanted to see happened.
Everyone else stepped aside to let Wang Yi decide the outcome of the game.
Even if they win in the end, the other players' sense of participation is not that strong, and it will be difficult for the relationship between teammates to be harmonious.
In particular, this proves that their run and gun campaign was a failure.
At this time, he was a little hesitant again. In the next few games, should the Kings play run-and-gun and add a one-star four-shooter system, or should they continue to explore unlimited passing and cutting?
When Wang Yi saw that head coach Walton seemed to be distracted and the other players did not respond, he immediately became angry.
His voice raised by 8 degrees, he glared at everyone and roared: "I said give me the damn ball!"
The other players were startled by Wang Yi's sudden roar.
Rookie Danny couldn't even help but take a small step back.
Head coach Walton finally came to his senses.
He said to all the players: "Give me the ball in the last few minutes and we will discuss other issues after the game."
The other players nodded.
Wang Yi could also see from this that although these players obeyed him on the surface, they did not regard themselves as the real boss deep down.
Of course, he doesn't blame these players either.
He had just arrived, just a few months ago.
The previous 5 games resulted in a 5-game losing streak.
It's amazing that these players can be convinced.
As the boss of a team, you must at least be able to lead your players to win before anyone will really trust you.
But it doesn't matter. After one month or two months at most, he will convince these guys.
After playing again.
The commentator Napier looked at the five Kings players on the court with solemn expressions and shook his head.
"Today's Kings team played a disorganized game."
"I can't tell what system or tactics they are playing at all. Anyway, it's just a crazy run. Just throw it when you run over, and you won't score when you throw it. There are many mistakes. The Rockets are a team without defense. If they
As long as there is a little bit of defense, the point difference may have reached 20 points at this time."
This is Napier's style of commentary.
The grass on the wall falls with the wind.
When the Kings were attacking, Wang Yi held the ball past half-court.
Came to the three-point line.
Facing Jaylen Green's defense, he didn't waver at all.
Suddenly collect the ball, pull up and jump.
Seeing this, Jaylen Green jumped up and blocked the shot.
But Wang Yi's shooting speed was too fast. When he jumped up and stretched out his right hand to block the shot, the basketball had already left his blocking range.
It drew a wonderful arc in the air and finally penetrated the basket.
The score difference was reduced to 10 points.
However, although Wang Yi scored, the Rockets' fast break came very quickly.
Because of Wang Yi's anger before, all the Kings players were a little silent and their reactions were a little slow.
A fast break layup was scored by the Mosaic team.
Wang Yi frowned.
He glanced at the other four people on the court: "Whether we score or not, we must retreat quickly."
His face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Hilde, Bagley, and Holmes all nodded subconsciously.
The older Barnes pondered for a moment before nodding.
He is not dissatisfied with Wang Yi, he is just looking at Wang Yi from the perspective of a bystander.
He could see that Wang Yi was trying hard to learn to be a good leader and boss.
But this kind of thing cannot happen overnight, it needs time.
Even a person like James, who is called a natural leader, slowly grew into a qualified leader after several years of hard work, and eventually became an excellent leader.
Wang Yi got angry on the court today, and there will inevitably be some rifts between him and his teammates.
Even if we win in the end, this gap will be difficult to mend.
It depends on how Wang Yi repairs the relationship with his teammates?
If it really can't be repaired, help him yourself.
Even if it is just to learn the song "Chapter Seven of Night".
In the next round, Wang Yi faced Jaylen Green's defense.
Still a sudden acceleration.
Jaylen Green quickly stepped back.
But Wang Yi passed the ball to his left hand under his right hand.
Step back and pull the ball back.
Still a three-point shot.
Whoosh!
The basketball is crisp and clean, hitting the basket without any sloppiness.
After scoring the goal, Wang Yi yelled "Back off" to the Kings players!
He was the first to quickly retreat toward the backcourt.
The other Kings players were reminded by him and quickly retreated towards the backcourt.
As a result, Rockets players cannot launch fast breaks.
After they dribbled the ball across half the court, they could only create shooting space by quickly tipping the ball over.
Although they finally scored, Wang Yi was quite satisfied with the defense this time.
He yelled to the Kings players: "Brothers, that's right, this is how we defend. We can't give them any fast break opportunities."
Looking back again, Wang Yi took the ball and when facing Jaylen Green, he dribbled the ball first and pretended to break through.
Suddenly he pulled the ball back and pretended to step back for a three-pointer.
Jaylen Green quickly jumped up to block the shot, but Wang Yi bent down again and quickly broke through.
After entering the paint, seeing that the opponent's three defenders were already in place, he did not go for a layup, but directly made a mid-range fadeaway jumper.
Basketball hits steadily.
Chapter completed!
