When Wang Yi scored a dunk, the audience at the scene were slightly shocked and raised questions one after another.
"Isn't this a violation of the line?!"
"Referees are blind mice!"
"I don't know if this is still our home court. Is this referee bribed?"
However, the place where Wang Yi saved the ball was less than one meter away from the beautiful Clippers cheerleaders.
These cheerleading beauties did not question the referee.
The cameraman on the baseline captured a clearer picture, because when Wang Yi saved the ball, he was less than 50 centimeters away from him. His lens clearly captured that Wang Yi's feet were less than 2 millimeters from the baseline -
—Absolutely no line crossed.
When this shot appeared on the screen, the audience immediately shut up.
"Damn, why can't his feet be as long as Durant's."
"Why does this guy react so fast? Did he take stimulants?"
However, no matter how hard they scold, it will be of no use. The facts are the facts and cannot be distorted by them.
Wang Yi's defense and attack expanded the point difference to 13 points.
Next, the Clippers attacked again, with Leonard still holding the ball. This was Tyronn Lue's conscious arrangement.
When the team has been lagging behind, it is time for the star player to step up and solve the problem.
Barnes glanced at Wang Yi, meaning to ask if he should continue to switch defenses.
Wang Yi said: "Leave him to me for this game."
Barnes nodded and went to guard Reggie Jackson.
Leonard faced Wang Yi, who was half a head lower than him. This time he did not choose a jump shot.
Wang Yi jumps too high, has too long arms, and reacts too quickly. It is impossible to shoot over his head like other small players.
Then eat him with your body.
So Leonard made a simple disguise, dribbled the ball with his right hand, and leaned on Wang Yi to break through.
This breakthrough is similar to James' tank breakthrough.
Use your body to lean against the opponent so that the opponent cannot make effective defensive moves, so that you can easily break through.
However, Wang Yi is no longer the same Wang Yi as before.
When Leonard leaned on him with his left shoulder to break through, Wang Yi quietly grabbed Leonard's left arm with his left hand.
When doing this action, he knew the positions of the three referees on the field clearly.
His body and Leonard's body just blocked all the referees' sight, and he didn't move much and didn't use much force, so he wouldn't be caught by the referee.
Although such an action will not stop Leonard, it will cause him to lose his shooting rhythm.
In the past, when Leonard was in the middle of a breakthrough like this, he would suddenly make a pull-up jumper, and it would be difficult for defenders to have time to react.
Now being disturbed by Wang Yi's action, he has lost his shooting rhythm, and there is a penalty area guarded by Holmes, so he can only pass the ball out.
Is such an action a foul?
Of course it is.
But except for Wang Yi and Leonard, it would be difficult for fans and referees outside the stadium to detect this hidden action.
Is this called dirty?
Not really.
In the NBA, almost every player makes countless small moves like this in every game.
In Kobe's autobiography "Mamba Mentality", he called this a little trick.
Kobe once carefully studied the referee manual. He knew where the referees on the court would be when the player with the ball was in a certain position.
Also knows what to do so as not to get caught by the referee.
Basketball has never been a competition of pure skills and pure strength.
If you want to play professional basketball, in addition to skills and strength, you also have to learn many similar tricks to be able to play with ease in the professional arena.
If you want to chase greatness, you have to master these little tricks.
This is true for Jordan, and so is Kobe.
As long as they don't step in the eyes or kick the balls, these little tricks won't actually arouse the players' disgust.
On the contrary, many players like this kind of confrontation.
Under Wang Yi's little trick, Leonard really lost his shooting rhythm and could only pass the ball out.
However, other Clippers players thought Leonard was going to shoot from mid-range here. At this time, they suddenly received the ball. They were unprepared and had no shooting rhythm, so they could only continue to organize another attack.
After going back and forth like this, the attack time was almost up, and in the end, Pickled Pepper barely managed to miss.
Looking back, the Kings continued to attack.
Wang Yi winked at Hilde.
Hilde understood.
So after receiving the ball, he moved towards the frontcourt, while Wang Yi followed him and slowly walked towards the frontcourt.
Hilde is almost crossing the halfway line.
Everyone thought that he would move to the frontcourt at the next moment. Once he reached the frontcourt, he could not pass it to Wang Yi in the backcourt.
But just when his left foot had crossed the center line and had not yet stepped on the front court floor, he suddenly turned around and passed the ball to Wang Yi behind him.
Wang Yi took the ball and shot directly from the backcourt.
In fact, the Clippers players were originally guarding Wang Yi from taking a shot in the backcourt, but when they saw Hield coming to the frontcourt, they thought that Wang Yi would not be able to take a shot from the backcourt after receiving the ball. Unexpectedly, they suddenly
It was a quick turnaround, so no one was on guard at all.
Wang Yi hit a three-pointer from the backcourt and hit the target!
The point difference widened to 16 points!
Another three-pointer from the backcourt.
This backcourt three-pointer made Staples quiet again.
Since the start of the playoffs, this stadium has seen too many miracles from Wang Yi.
The backcourt three-pointer is one of the many miracles created by Wang Yi.
At first, people thought Wang Yi's backcourt three-pointer was just luck.
But gradually, Wang Yi is averaging 1.3 backcourt three-pointers per game.
Only then did people realize that Wang Yi had used three-pointers from the backcourt as a conventional weapon.
When I first came up with this idea, many senior fans and football commentators thought it was absurd, ridiculous, and even laughable.
The closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate. This is an unchanging rule of basketball.
So since the birth of basketball, all the efforts of athletes have been to get closest to the basket.
It wasn't until Curry came out and changed the sport that people realized that the super long three-pointer could also be used as a conventional weapon.
But Curry's shooting range is only in the frontcourt.
People think this is the limit.
Shooting a three-pointer from the backcourt is completely nonsense.
It's simply unreasonable.
But now, Wang Yi can hit 1.3 three-pointers in the backcourt every game, and his shooting rate has reached 35%.
It is similar to the normal three-point shooting percentage of players in the league.
This is so scary.
Next, Wang Yi completely dominated both offense and defense in these few minutes.
On the defensive end, he constantly interfered with Leonard's shots, blocked shots, stole shots and protected backcourt rebounds.
On the offensive end, the three-pointers are full of firepower.
backcourt three-pointer;
logo three points;
Super long three-pointer.
Everything is there.
Moreover, the other players on the Kings team are all on the line today, so even if they double-team Wang Yi, they don't dare to do it too hard.
I can only watch Wang Yi keep scoring.
At the end of the first half, the Kings led the Clippers by 23 points, 69-46.
Wang Yi's personal data: 35 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 8 blocks and 8 steals.
Getting such data at halftime made the Chinese fans excited.
Chapter completed!
