In the last 24 seconds, players from both sides stood on the court again.
The entire Chase Center Arena was no longer as noisy as before.
All the fans stood and watched the game.
All the fans were silent.
The air here seems to be freezing.
Before the game, everyone thought the Warriors would definitely advance.
4:0 Easily kill the king.
The last time it was a 4:1 gentleman sweep.
Unexpectedly, the two sides not only played to the tiebreaker, but also played to the last 24 seconds.
At this time, Curry was staring at Wang Yi across the court.
The brown beard can't hide his baby face.
But his eyes were full of desire for fighting.
He's been in the league for so many years and he's played against a lot of great players.
He played against LeBron James many times and also played against Durant many times.
They are all powerful.
But this was his first time playing against a player like Wang Yi.
Although he also played against Wang Yi last season, the Lakers' leader at that time was James. He believed that it was still a match against James.
This time this year, he felt that this was the first real battle with Wang Yi.
Wang Yi is a very special player.
Among so many opponents, he is the only player who can beat him in three-pointers.
The season's three-point shooting percentage reached a terrifying 50.4%.
Entering the playoffs, his three-point shooting percentage not only did not drop, but actually increased.
50.6%.
You must know that what Curry is best at is three-pointers. Now when he encounters an opponent with a better three-pointer than himself, he naturally hopes to defeat this opponent.
Wang Yi is also gearing up.
The seven games between the two sides were finally reduced to one attack.
In this offense, Curry is the spear and he is the shield.
Let's see if Curry's spear can pierce his shield.
At this time, Wang Yi made a bold decision.
He turned to the other four teammates behind him and said: "Let me guard him alone!"
Everyone was stunned.
This is not what the coach arranged just now.
The coach clearly said that he would double-team Curry, and to a certain extent, he could leave others open.
However, Wang Yi stared at the other four teammates with burning eyes.
He was very emotional at this time.
A series is condensed into the last attack and defense.
If one-on-one defense fails, it will be equivalent to ruining everyone's efforts throughout the season.
If it were any other player, I'm afraid he wouldn't have to defend Curry alone at this time.
Because Curry is simply not a player who can be defended alone.
However, Wang Yi's eyes were very determined.
The other four players looked at each other and finally looked at head coach Walton on the sidelines.
When Wharton saw it, he suddenly felt a little panicked.
Damn it, Wang Yi isn’t going to cause trouble, is he?
He wanted to call the team members back to talk about it.
But at this time the Kings only had one last timeout left.
If there is still some time left after the Warriors score, this timeout will be very important.
Because after the timeout, you can serve from the front court.
If it is used now, the Kings will have to serve from the backcourt and may not have time to move past half court.
He could only put his hands together into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly to the players on the court: "Just defend as I just arranged-"
The team members turned back to look at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi smiled.
He said to the other four: "Just defend according to the arrangement I just made."
All the team members laughed bitterly.
Nima.
Which "I" arrangement is the defense based on?
But in the end, they all nodded to Wang Yi tacitly.
Although Wang Yi’s last choice was somewhat selfish.
His selfish choice may ruin the entire team's efforts throughout the season.
But think about it on the other hand, without Wang Yi, the Kings would not even be able to make it to the playoffs, let alone break into the playoffs, overcome the Lakers and Clippers, and then fight the Warriors to the end of the seventh game.
24 seconds.
They all admire Wang Yi from the bottom of their hearts, whether in life or on the court.
So let’s all do what Wang Yi said.
Even if we lose in the end and the coach starts blaming us, everyone should bear it together!
After all, we are brothers!
At this time, the Warriors did not choose to serve in the frontcourt, but in the backcourt, so that they could have longer time and more space to make adjustments.
The five players of the Kings set up a defensive formation in the backcourt.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Wang Yi was the first to defend, while the other players were keeping an eye on other Warriors players.
Kings coach Walton was very panicked when he saw it.
Sure enough, Wang Yi really came out to cause trouble.
This is the Kings coach Walton. If he had been replaced by another team's coach, especially if he had been replaced by Mr. Popovich, he would have been furious by now.
Mr. Bo is the one who hates the most when players are disobedient.
He has always given orders like a mountain.
Which of the players under my control dares to dissent?
He said he dared not go east to the west, and he said he dared not go north. Even superstars like Duncan and Parker were sometimes scolded like children under his hands.
Of course there are exceptions. The only player he can't control is Ginobili.
At this time, Curry also understood what Wang Yi meant. Wang Yi wanted to go one-on-one with him.
In that case, let's do it.
He waved his hand to allow other players to open up space.
Dribble the ball slowly.
Wang Yi spread his legs, opened his arms slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and stared closely into Curry's eyes.
I don't care where your ball is, I'm just focusing on you right now.
Time passed slowly, and every second seemed so long.
20…18…15…
Curry still had no intention of attacking, and Wang Yi had no intention of pressing forward.
The sharpest spear will pierce the strongest shield.
10…8…5…
When the time came to the last 7 seconds, Curry suddenly turned sideways.
Take a step to the right with your left foot, quickly lower your center of gravity, and break through smoothly.
Wang Yi moved sideways and stood in front of him.
Curry dribbled the ball behind his right hand, then withdrew from the three-point line and took a quick shot.
Wang Yi had studied him and knew he had this trick, so he rushed over to block the shot.
But Curry's shot was too fast.
The moment his feet just left the three-point line, he started to click.
As soon as the feet are lifted, the person takes action before he reaches the highest point.
Therefore, Wang Yi's block was too late.
The ball flew toward the basket with the eyes of all Warriors fans.
Curry wants to defeat Wang Yi in the way he is best at.
However, the basketball hit the rim like a giant hammer.
It bounced high again.
Kings players rushed to grab the rebound.
But all five Warriors players rushed to grab the rebound at this time.
At this time, although it is said that Wang Yi has the Rodman experience card, when ten people compete for a ball, it depends on luck.
In the end luck was on the Warriors' side.
Although Green is a dirty guy, it must be said that he is very tough. He grabbed the rebound despite the severe pain of his nose being rubbed by Bagley's hand.
Then, surrounded by three people, he passed the ball to Curry who came over to respond.
After Curry got the ball at a 45-degree mid-range on the right side, only 4.1 seconds were left.
Holmes next to him had already rushed over to block the shot.
Chapter completed!
