In the second half of the second quarter, when Brother Zui and Clay came on the court, the Warriors suddenly exerted their collective strength.
Curry hit two three-pointers, Klay hit two three-pointers, Mouth had a three-pointer and a two-pointer, and Green dunked.
Although other players on the Kings team also performed well, they were far from equal to the performance of other players on the Warriors.
Wang Yi was fighting alone, and the score difference was quickly smoothed out.
Even though coach Walton called a timeout, he still couldn't stop the bleeding after playing again.
The score difference quickly widened again.
So much so that after the second quarter, the Kings fell behind by 5 points.
In the second quarter, although Wang Yi grabbed 5 more rebounds, the rest of the Kings were completely blocked by the Warriors.
They only grabbed 5 rebounds in total.
The rebounding gap between the two teams was 10:15, with the Kings trailing by 5.
During the halftime break, head coach Walton had no choice.
After all, Wang Yi is the only one he has on hand that he can put to great use.
Apart from Wang Yi, there are not even useful role players.
The so-called clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.
Although Wang Yi played very fiercely today, his offensive firepower was also good.
But two fists are no match for four hands.
The coach couldn't think of a way, and the other players fell silent.
But the silence lasted less than a minute before Wang Yi spoke.
He knew never to let his team fall silent during a game.
In an intense game, it would be very scary if a team fell silent.
He proposed to the head coach: "Coach, we lost 5 rebounds in the second quarter. What I mean is that we can't lose any more rebounds in the third quarter. We have to rush for rebounds as a team!"
"The whole team rushes for rebounds?"
Coach Walton's first reaction was that this suggestion was nonsense.
If the whole team rushes for rebounds, who will go for the fast break?
Except for the first few games throughout the season, the Kings played run-and-gun games in the rest of the season.
Holmes and Bagley are responsible for grabbing rebounds, and the other three are responsible for the fast break.
Well, now if you swarm everyone to grab rebounds, no one will start a fast break at all.
Could it be that after playing for so long, we suddenly have to give up running and gunning for a season?
“Isn’t this just pushing yourself out of your comfort zone?”
An assistant coach next to him raised doubts.
Wang Yi shook his head and said: "Curry and Klay's three-pointers are so accurate that no one can outrun the Warriors in terms of running and gunning. So instead of running and gunning with them, we should do the opposite and control the rebounds first. No matter what
Whether it's an offensive rebound or a backcourt rebound, we rush forward and fight for it. As long as we control the rebounds, we can control the game."
In fact, Wang Yi’s reason was a bit forced.
The head coach said: "There are risks in grabbing rebounds, especially offensive rebounds. If 5 people swarm up and fight for offensive rebounds, it's okay if they can fight, but if they can't fight, no one will return to defense and the Warriors will easily be defeated.
Let's hit the fast break."
Wang Yi nodded: "I understand this, but we can try it for three rounds. If the effect is not good within three rounds, we will make adjustments."
In fact, the reason why Wang Yi insists on all five players rushing for rebounds is because he has a Rodman experience card, and rebounding is his biggest advantage.
Since you can't compete with running and gunning, let's maximize the advantage of rebounding.
If it were in the past, Wang Yi's proposal would not have received the support of the coach.
But now Wang Yi has brought a team like the Kings to the Western Conference Finals almost single-handedly, and has reached Game 7 with a team like the Warriors. His status in the hearts of the players and the coaches
The status has been greatly improved.
Moreover, Wang Yi often puts forward some seemingly abnormal suggestions, but in the end it is proved that these suggestions are feasible and will achieve miraculous results.
So the coach finally nodded after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, just try three rounds."
At the same time, Wang Yi made another suggestion: "In order to better protect the rebounds, we let TT and Holmes be on the court at the same time in the third quarter."
"this……"
The coach hesitated again.
Originally, Bagley and Holmes were as tall as the Twin Towers when they were present at the same time.
If TT were to follow, it would be equivalent to three towers.
Even Bagley and Holmes have good explosive power. Among the big men, they are very fast, but their mobility is much worse than that of the small men.
In this way, the three towers are present at the same time, which has a great impact on the team's mobility.
The Warriors are a fast team, and the Kings simply can't keep up with their speed.
Let alone Walton, any fan who knows a little bit about basketball would not make Wang Yi's suggestion at this time, because that would be digging his own grave.
All the team members also looked at Wang Yi in surprise.
What the hell is boss doing?
Although many of the suggestions he made in the past have worked wonders, today this is a 7-7 tie in the Western Conference Finals, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to do this at this time?
But Mitchell the little licking dog didn't care about this and was the first to stand up to support Wang Yi.
As if after thinking for a moment, he said seriously: "Well, the boss is right, we really should fight like this."
As for why he should fight like this, he couldn't tell.
Anyway, as long as what the boss says is correct, there's nothing wrong with it.
Danny also stood up to support Wang Yi at this time.
He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "You can try what the boss said."
Several other players looked at me and I looked at you, and in the end they all agreed.
The Warriors' current starting lineup is too hot. With the Kings' current style of play, they simply can't beat the Warriors, so they might as well try other styles of play.
Head coach Walton was a little shaken at this time, but he still asked Wang Yi a question.
"When we are on defense, we all rush for rebounds, so who will go for the fast break?"
"I."
Wang Yi stared directly at the head coach and answered firmly.
The head coach laughed: "You rush for rebounds with everyone, and then you go on a fast break?"
He felt that Wang Yi was simply joking.
Then Wang Yi was asked another question: "So when everyone is attacking and rushing for rebounds, who is going to retreat?"
"I!"
Wang Yi still answered quite firmly.
Although the head coach thought it was a joke, he didn't laugh this time.
Instead, he looked at Wang Yi in astonishment.
It is clear that Wang Yi is serious.
But that's incredible. He rushes for rebounds, makes fast breaks, and retreats by himself.
Only superman can do it.
