After the Sports English video was released, the number of views quickly exceeded 10,000 in just 10 minutes.
The number of likes also reached an exaggerated 10,000 almost simultaneously.
Subsequently, this video quickly became a hot search on major lists.
"Fuck, Brother Yi really said that."
"I'm afraid the only one in the NBA who speaks harshly like this is the Rain God."
"The crazy boasts of Mad King have never come to fruition. I'm looking forward to it, very much looking forward to it!"
"I don't want to see anything now. I just want to see Wang Arthur's expression after he was killed."
This video became popular in China, and at the same time, this video was also promoted to TikTok in the United States.
That is the overseas version of Douyin.
When those Americans saw this video, they all shook their heads, especially the fans of Arthur Wang.
"They say Chinese people are low-key and modest. Damn, this guy is just a bastard who only knows how to talk."
"If he can kill, I will never watch the NBA again in my fucking life."
"Just a bastard, idiot."
Wang Yi didn't know this, and he didn't even know that his one-on-one conversation with King Arthur had already triggered such a huge response.
The first goal of the opening game was jumped by the Kings.
Wang Yi quickly ran to the frontcourt.
After Mitchell got the ball, he threw it directly forward.
This is what Wang Yi has explained to his teammates before. After the jump ball, as long as the Kings get the ball, they can throw it to the frontcourt. Don't be afraid that I won't catch it.
So even though Westbrook of the Lakers was clearly in front at this time, Mitchell still insisted on executing the strategy of throwing the ball forward.
What should I do if Wang Yi fails to catch the ball when it is thrown into the frontcourt?
In Mitchell's view: If the boss can't catch the ball, it must be because he is not throwing well, and he must work hard to correct it. If the boss catches the ball, it must be because he is faster. He must throw better.
In short, the boss can never be wrong.
How could the boss be wrong?
At this time, the basketball flew to the front court, and Westbrook was trying his best to chase the basketball.
Looks like he's the first.
However, soon, when he entered the three-point line, he found a figure next to him quickly overtaking him.
He didn’t even need to look, it must be Wang Yi.
There are few people in this league who can surpass him in speed, and Wang Yi is definitely the first.
Westbrook knew that it was impossible for him to stop Wang Yi normally, so he could only give Wang Yi a physical confrontation and tried to use reasonable collision to squeeze Wang Yi away and prevent him from getting the ball.
However, when he squeezed like this, he found that Wang Yi had already been prepared for his move and squeezed over at the same time.
Wang Yi's body was obviously stronger than his. Westbrook was forced to change direction, but Wang Yi's direction change was very small.
In this way, Wang Yi easily got the ball, and at this time Wang Yi was already half a step inside the free throw line.
Just pull it up and reach out to dunk it.
But at the same time, Wang Yi heard heavy footsteps behind him.
Boom boom boom boom——
It sounded as if a tank suddenly sprouted two legs and was running wildly.
The ground seemed to be shaking. Wang Yi had already jumped up. At the same time, the tank behind him also jumped up, chasing Wang Yi and trying to block the shot from behind.
Wang Yi's right hand, which was holding the ball high, suddenly retracted it.
Then the ball was switched to the left hand.
As a result, when Arthur went to cover Wang Yi, he directly hit the front edge of the basket, but Wang Yi stuck out his left hand from the left side of the basket and dunked with his left hand.
The 17,500 spectators at Golden 1 Center suddenly cheered wildly.
The huge sound wave was like a tsunami, attacking all the Lakers players.
The cameraman sitting at the bottom line became excited at this time.
The first goal in the opening game is a famous scene and a high-energy moment.
In the photo just now, Arthur captured the basket, while Wang Yi dunked from the left side of the basket with his left hand.
This will probably become a basketball classic.
As a photographer, it is quite a sense of accomplishment to be able to leave a classic photo.
Amid the roar and tsunami at the scene, the referee signaled for the game to continue.
Normally, before Wang Yi dunked, Arthur's hand had already hit the basket. This should be regarded as Arthur's defensive interference ball and Wang Yi scored a two-pointer.
But since Wang Yi scored the ball, the referee did not make any more penalties for the sake of the smoothness of the game.
Being a referee does not mean being rigid and just following the rules.
Sometimes you have to improvise.
If one side is overwhelming, you have to favor the other side slightly to keep the game a little more suspenseful and less boring.
If a player is too strong, you should be a little more relaxed when calling fouls against him.
Otherwise, others won't be able to play at all.
All of this follows one big principle: making the game more enjoyable and smooth.
Looking back to the Lakers offense.
Regarding the Lakers' defense, D'Antoni and Wang Yi discussed it before, and they agreed that they should focus on defending the inside to prevent Arthur from breaking in.
As we all know, the Lakers' biggest weapon is Arthur's breakthrough. Once Arthur breaks through, the Lakers will form a virtuous cycle and blossom internally and externally.
So as long as they prevent his breakthrough, the Lakers' martial arts skills will be wasted in half.
Therefore, the entire Kings team was huddled within the three-point line.
As a result, the Lakers can only shoot three-pointers frequently.
They really felt good from beyond the three-point line today.
Thick eyebrows.
He hit two three-pointers in a row in the opening game.
Arthur Wang and Westbrook, who are not good at shooting three-pointers, also hit one three-pointer each, and other role players also scored three-pointers.
In this way, the game lasted for 6 minutes, and the two sides played evenly.
Kings coach D'Antoni saw a stalemate between the two sides, and he felt a little uneasy.
Wouldn't it be good if the stalemate continued like this?
After all, when he coached the Rockets, the Rockets he led were a three-point team.
Although the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage at the time was actually very average, because the Rockets shot a lot of three-pointers, once you don't interfere and stop them and let them develop their touch, this game will be a disaster for you.
So now we have to stop the Lakers from taking three-point shots away.
However, Wang Yi blocked the coach's idea of ​​changing the defense.
"Coach, although they are level with us now, it seems that their three-point shooting percentage is very good, but this is not the style of play they are good at. From a macro perspective, a game is to force the opponent to use what they are not good at.
Style of play.”
"Now that they are using a style of play that they are not good at, why should we change it?"
D'Antoni frowned slightly and said, "But what if they throw it out?"
"Then I will kill them."
Wang Yi blurted out.
The head coach and several other coaches looked at Wang Yi in surprise.
Although Wang Yi has said this before, saying that he would kill his opponent in the middle of the game, the opponents he encountered at that time were far less powerful than this year's Lakers.
This year's Lakers produced a historic guy, Arthur Wang.
His talent is even more terrifying than that of James when he first debuted.
