At the same time, the time limit for completing this task also appears below.
[Task time limit: 12 hours]
Wang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Isn't it a bit too easy to complete such a task 1,000 times in 12 hours?
It seems that the system has finally entered normal mode after embarrassing itself for so long.
So next he asked Nicole to pass the ball to him one after another, and he passed Will James one after another.
Although Wang Yi's steps at the basket are not very solid, they are enough to deal with Will James.
In this way, Wang Yi easily completed the task in just over 7 hours, including the meal and rest time in between.
This may be the easiest task he has received since the advent of the system.
The moment he completed his final step to the basket, a system prompt came to his mind.
【Mission completed!】
[Reward: Top footwork under the basket]
It was at this moment that Wang Yi had mastered all kinds of classic basket moves.
70% of these classic basket moves come from the great Olajuwon.
Another 30% comes from other players.
For example, Kobe, Jordan, Chamberlain, O'Neal...
After integrating all the moves under the basket, Wang Yi summarized many moves under the basket belonging to short players in his mind.
These steps under the basket that he re-summarized look the same as Dameng's steps under the basket, but they are much faster in terms of speed.
As a small player, only by speeding up his movement can he dodge long-armed defenders under the basket.
…
On this day, in addition to practicing his steps under the basket, Wang Yi spent the rest of the time discussing with his coach how to break the Lakers' three-man double-team on him.
The Lakers' defensive method is very special.
With Westbrook chasing Wang Yi, the other four players formed a rectangular defensive area one step outside the penalty area.
If you advance, you can defend against three-pointers, and if you retreat, you can defend the penalty area.
And this three-point defense refers to simply defending Wang Yi's three-pointer.
No matter where Wang Yi appears on the three-point line, they can quickly have three people pounce on Wang Yi.
He, the coach and several assistant coaches discussed it over and over, and felt that there were actually two ways to crack this three-pointer.
One is that when Wang Yi passes the ball, other players can shoot the ball.
Another way is for Wang Yi to extend the shooting range further.
Don't just catch the ball near the three-point line.
His three-point shooting percentage has reached a terrifying over 50%, and it is over 50% in any area. So as long as he passes the center line, he can catch the ball anywhere.
In this way, the Lakers' formation would be useless.
If they send two people to double-team Wang Yi, with Wang Yi's ability, he can still take action calmly under the double-team.
If they send three people to double-team Wang Yi, so many people will be crowded on the line, and the inside line will be very empty. At that time, other Kings players can play in the penalty area at will.
Even if you can't score when you go in, you can still make jump shots from mid- to long-range.
In fact, it’s not like I haven’t thought of this method before.
It's just that this style of play feels ridiculous.
This is equivalent to using Wang Yi's ultra-long-distance three-point jumper as a conventional weapon.
In the past, it was said that someone regarded the ultra-long-range three-pointer as a conventional weapon. That was just talk. No one really regarded the ultra-long-range three-pointer as a conventional weapon.
Even three-point shooters like Stephen Curry and James only occasionally shoot a long three-pointer, and it is impossible to really regard him as a regular weapon.
(James: I am a three-point shooter? I am a three-point shooter??)
So this idea just came into the heads of the assistant coaches for a moment, and then they gave up the idea.
After all, no one has ever done this in NBA history.
But now, the Lakers have pushed the Kings so hard that they have no choice.
I can only think of this ridiculous style of play.
Moreover, Wang Yi's three-point shooting rate from long range this season is still above 50%, which gives them some confidence.
Head coach Walton finally said:
"But we can't use this style of play from the beginning. This style of play is really too deviant. After we came on the field, we still adhered to the previous strategy, allowing Wang Yi to constantly move around the screen and create opportunities to attract three of them.
After being double-teamed, pass the ball to the open space and see how others feel. It's best if others can open the ball, so you don't have to use this ridiculous style of play."
Wang Yi smiled: "This style of play may seem ridiculous to others, but to me, it is very reasonable."
…
Next, the Kings play against the Lakers G4.
Wang Yi is still very strong.
He profoundly proved what it means to have gravity.
He hit two logo three-pointers right off the bat, forcing the Lakers to quickly double-team him.
But even when double-teamed by two people, he can still throw in three-pointers.
The Lakers had to come up with their defensive strategy again.
With Westbrook stalking Wang Yi, the other four people defended one step away from each other on both sides of the penalty area, ready to double-team Wang Yi at any time.
Wang Yi can only keep passing the ball out.
Fortunately, the other players on the Kings team were really accurate today.
In the first quarter, Hield alone made four three-pointers. In the second quarter, in addition to Hield, Bagley also made three three-pointers.
However, Lakers coach Vogel did not change their defensive strategy.
He still focuses on defending Wang Yi, allowing others to shoot three-pointers without giving Wang Yi a chance to make a shot.
Sometimes defense is like this, you have to drink one of the two bottles of poison.
Since you have chosen this bottle, you have to keep drinking it. Maybe it will no longer be poisonous after drinking it to a certain extent.
Never take a sip from this bottle and another sip from that bottle.
You go on like this, and you drink both bottles. Originally, one bottle was not poisonous to you, but the other bottle was poured directly on you and killed you.
This is the strategy the Lakers have chosen now.
I accept that the rest of you are trying to kill me, and it is absolutely impossible for Wang Yi to take action.
As for the Kings players, except for Wang Yi, everyone else is a role player among role players. Can they kill us? Impossible.
So in Vogel's view, the Lakers will win no matter what.
Even if their three-point shots were accurate in the first half, they would definitely not be accurate in the second half.
Even if the three-pointers were accurate in the third quarter, after their physical fitness declined in the fourth quarter, their three-pointers would definitely drop, just like the last game.
However, I never expected that the Kings players would explode today.
Not only were the three points accurate in the first three quarters, but they were still accurate in the fourth quarter.
On the contrary, in the 4th quarter, their three-pointers became more accurate.
He actually shot a super high shooting percentage of 9 out of 12 shots.
The Kings actually made 31 three-pointers in the entire game.
Directly breaking the historical single-game three-point record.
The previous record was 29 three-pointers set by the Bucks in 2020.
Now the Kings have directly surpassed this record.
The Kings scored 93 points in three-pointers alone.
This is not just three-thirds of rain, it is simply three-thirds of heavy rain.
Under such circumstances, it will be even more difficult for the Lakers to win.
And on the defensive side, the Kings still maintained their previous mad-dog style of biting, but this time they didn't bite in the first three quarters.
Instead, they ensured their physical fitness in the first three quarters and fought hard for everyone in the fourth quarter.
In the end, the Kings defeated the Lakers with 27 points, 137:110.
Precisely because the Kings' three-pointers were so accurate in this game, there was no need to use Wang Yi's ultra-long-distance three-point play.
This is a game-changing victory.
The Lakers' galactic battleship was left without any temper by the Kings' three-point shooting team.
This is not because the Lakers played too often, but because the Kings' three-pointers were too crazy.
Wang Yi's statistics in this game were very average. Since he was double-teamed by three people for almost the entire game, he took very few shots.
In the end, he only scored 27 points and 10 rebounds.
But because he has been passing the ball to his teammates, and his teammates can basically score as long as he passes the ball, his assists soared like crazy, reaching 24 times.
The highest number of assists in his career.
27 points, 10 rebounds and 24 assists!
Although the score is not many, such data is still dizzying.
The Kings' victory made Kings fans rejoice.
I thought that the Kings would have earned money if they could win one game, but they didn't expect to win two games in a row, and win the second game so easily.
At this time, the Lakers finally began to face the Kings seriously.
They began to carefully summarize and analyze after the game.
The players' faces no longer looked as relaxed as before.
They completely regarded the Kings as their opponent.
Chapter completed!
