1541 Wind King Combination

As the Kings faltered, Sacramento was in crisis.
Wang Yi and Rose, a pair of players who had never played together before, looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Although it is only the 12th game that they have officially cooperated, their fighting will is the same, and their experience on the court is also the same.
Coach D'Antoni thought for a moment when he saw a subtle smile on Wang Yi's face.
But he couldn't figure out why Wang Yi was laughing at this time.
He had to ask: "Wang, how do you plan to fight? I will ask others to cooperate with you."
Wang Yi said to D'Antoni: "Everyone else can just pull away and free up the inside line for me."
D'Antoni thought that Wang Yi would still force himself to play singles at this time.
He was a little worried about Wang Yi's health.
But under the current circumstances, it seems to be the best choice to let Wang Yi, who has the highest success rate, play singles.
"Just, is your physical fitness okay?"
D'Antoni asked Wang Yi.
Wang Yi nodded: "No problem."
No problem, this is Wang Yi’s most common answer to coaches.
This is also the most reassuring answer for the coach.
On the other side, Coach Darwin was arranging the defense against the Kings.
"Leave a defender in front of Danny on the outside, and let everyone else go inside for me. In the last few balls, Wang Yi will definitely play singles by himself. Just stay on the inside and defend me to the death. But remember not to foul.
."
Coach Darwin knew that with Wang Yi's character, he would definitely take these last few crucial goals by himself.
So these last few balls must completely block the inside line.
At the same time, letting Arthur Wang guard Danny is equivalent to blocking another escape route for the Kings.
After returning to the stage, all the audience's eyes were focused on Wang Yi.
Everyone knows that with Wang Yi's character, he will definitely come to such a crucial goal by himself.
First, Tours serves out of bounds.
Wang Yi lost his position.
There were already thick eyebrows around him, and Gordon and Hilde were hiding in ambush.
As long as Wang Yi gets the ball, they will instantly come around Wang Yi and form a three-man double-team.
At this time, Rose came to the right side of the 45-degree three-point line to receive the ball.
The Lakers' defense against Rose was very loose, allowing Rose to get the ball easily.
After Rose got the ball, he stepped back, almost to the center line.
Patton, who was guarding him, only defended with his feet on the three-point line, because he knew that Rose's three-point shooting rate this year was really poor, only more than 20%, so he would never take a three-pointer at this time.
Rose dribbled the ball slowly near the center line.
All the opposing players were waiting for Rose to pass the ball to Wang Yi.
Both Kings fans and Lakers fans were waiting for Rose to pass the ball to Wang Yi.
However, to everyone's surprise, Rose did not pass the ball to Wang Yi.
Instead, he slowly dribbled the ball near the center line, consuming all the time.
Everyone is a little confused.
Why is Ross taking his time?
Doesn't the rest of the Kings team go up and set a screen?
Don’t you pass the ball to Wang Yi quickly?
What exactly is this intended to do?
Waiting until there were only the last 5 seconds left in the attack time, suddenly, a scene that no one expected happened.
I saw Wang Yi, who was originally down, suddenly running towards the three-point line.
At the same time, Ross suddenly ran towards Wang Yi.
Just now, everyone was motionless. But now, Wang Yi and Rose suddenly moved together. This surprised the Lakers.
Especially the three people who double-teamed Wang Yi.
What they originally got was an order to double-team Wang Yi inside.
Now Wang Yi suddenly runs to the outside. Should they follow him or stay here?
Just because they were in such a mess, their reaction was half a beat too slow, and Wang Yi instantly reached the three-point line.
It got stuck directly on Napaton's left side.
Rose also happened to reach the three-point line at this time. With Wang Yi's cover, he got rid of Button and reached the mid-range.
It was only then that everyone suddenly realized.
The Kings have always used the inside to provide cover for Rose.
Therefore, the Lakers have long been prepared for the need to provide screens inside.
But now Wang Yi suddenly mentioned going online to cover Rose, leaving everyone unprepared.
Rose easily reached the mid-range and then took off lightly.
Because this offense was so outstanding and unexpected, the Lakers had no defense inside. As a result, almost no one interfered with Rose's shooting.
Rose made the shot easily.
The Kings lead by 4 points.
There is 1 minute and 07 seconds left in the game.
Seeing this, the Lakers quickly launched a fast break counterattack.
The Kings' Danny and Tours quickly returned to defense.
The Lakers failed to launch a counterattack and had to settle down.
Finally, when 24 seconds were exhausted, Wang Arthur used the cover of his thick eyebrows to come in from the outside.
Then he used a European step to get past Wang Yi, whose physical fitness was declining and his steps were already very slow.
The score difference came to two points again.
There are still 43 seconds left in the game.
The Kings requested a timeout again.
In fact, the timeout coach had no arrangements, because he saw that Wang Yi and Rose's eyes were shining with fighting spirit at this time, and their expressions looked extremely confident.
He knew that these two people already had an idea.
So he called this timeout just to let Wang Yi and Rose take a breath.
After the timeout, both sides continue to play.
The Kings served from the frontcourt, but Wang Yi still sank to the inside.
Because his power in the paint today was so exaggerated, the Lakers did not dare to let down their guard at all. There were at least three people ready to double-team Wang Yi in the paint.
At this time, Rose got the ball again and once again retreated to a position close to the midline, dribbling the ball slowly.
This time, the Lakers didn't watch Rose slowly dribble. Barton stepped forward to defend.
But Rose turned sideways, blocking Patton with his left side, extending his arm with his right side, and still slowly dribbling the ball to waste time.
The Lakers saw the pick-and-roll between Wang Yi and Rose just now, so they were already on guard this time.
They knew that the Kings would definitely use up the 24 seconds of this ball when Wang Yi suddenly mentioned going to the line and giving Rose a pick-and-roll.
They were also ready to wait until 24 seconds approached to defend Rose's point.
However, to their surprise, this time at only the 13th second, Wang Yi suddenly mentioned going online to cover Rose.
The moment Rose saw Wang Yi move, he suddenly started to move, using Wang Yi's cover to directly reach the mid-range.
This once again caught the Lakers off guard.
But the Lakers are basically young players, and they react quickly.
Although they didn't expect it, because they had already prepared to be wary of Rose in advance, their inside line had already pounced out at this time. Gordon had already arrived in front of Rose immediately, leaping high.
Call out:
"Old man, are you ready to go to the grave?"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to cover Rose.

Chapter completed!
