After playing in the second quarter, the Grizzlies really began to double-team Wang Yi.
Of course, Wang Yi has already thought of this.
He responded accordingly.
In this quarter, he no longer takes the ball, but comes to the frontcourt and waits in the left or right corner.
The moment Danny advanced past half court with the ball, he began to move inside.
The Kings players also worked tacitly to cover for Wang Yi and fend off Morant who was chasing him.
Wang Yi must take action within a very short time after receiving the ball, otherwise other Grizzlies players will pursue him.
Wang Yi has practiced taking action in a short period of time countless times.
So it's not too difficult for him.
And he was in very good condition today, basically making shots.
In his opinion, this was also due to the challenge posed to him by the system's mission.
He is born with the idea that the stronger his opponent is, the more difficult it is to do what he wants to do, which makes him more excited.
The challenge of 60+ points in three consecutive games is unprecedented and unprecedented in difficulty.
On the contrary, this completely stimulated his state.
Pull-up jump shot after catching the ball, yes!
After catching the ball, he stepped inside and dunked, yes!
After catching the ball, he took two steps back and made a three-pointer, yes!
In short, as long as it is his shot, there is almost no miss.
As a result, he scored 40 points in the first half alone.
However, even so, the two commentators still didn't think much of him.
"I said before that if the Kings want to win today, Wang Yi must score 50+ points, but looking at the current situation, Wang Yi almost always shoots alone. He doesn't pass the ball to his teammates at all. He plays too selfishly.
So if the Kings want to win, Wang Yi has to score 60+!"
"It's true. This guy was like crazy today. He kept scoring in the first half and took crazy shots, pushing his score to 40 points. But you have to know that basketball is a team game and teamwork is required.
To complete it, if you just want to take action alone and brush up data alone, then the sense of participation of your teammates will be too low. Then even if you can win in the end, your teammates will not be too happy."
However, both of them ignored one point. Wang Yi actually scored 40 points with only 15 shots.
Although 15 shots were taken in the half, which was indeed a lot, it was far from crazy.
And considering that Wang Yi scored 40 points in fifteen shots, this efficiency is really too high, so even if he takes more shots, it is reasonable.
At this time, Morant of the Grizzlies looked ugly.
He also scored 32 points in the half. In the past, he was definitely the center of attention.
However, his limelight in the first half was completely stolen by Wang Yi.
His 32 points seemed a bit lackluster compared to Wang Yi's 40 points.
He was holding back a lot of energy in his heart, and he must crush Wang Yi in the second half.
However, in the second half, the situation did not change fundamentally.
Wang Yi still continued to catch the ball and hit the ball, and in the second half, he made more breakthroughs to the inside.
Although there were people constantly marking him, the moment he came out from the inside to catch the ball, he suddenly turned around and broke through the inside so fast that no one could keep an eye on him.
Ever since, the Grizzlies' inside line has been in tragedy.
Either he was blocked by Wang Yi, or he was fouled by Wang Yi.
In the end, Wang Yi added another 10 points in the third quarter.
His score has reached 50 points.
Morant, perhaps because he worked too hard in the first half, only scored three points in the third quarter, bringing his score to 35 points.
This is also very reasonable.
No player can maintain his best form from the first minute to the last minute.
But this made Morant even more unwilling.
He originally planned to crush Wang Yi in the second half, but the gap between the two became wider and wider, so he became a little anxious.
In the fourth quarter, in order to improve his scoring efficiency, he kept rushing inside.
D'Antoni saw Morant continuously rushing inside without passing the ball to others. He asked the Kings players to use a zone defense strategy to restrict Morant, which made it more difficult for Morant to get inside.
He became even more impatient.
That's how basketball is played. The more impatient you are, the less likely you are to score. The more impatient you are, the more impatient you will be, and the cycle is endless.
In contrast, Wang Yi.
In the first three minutes of the 4th quarter, the opponent's defensive attention was all on him, so Wang Yi suddenly started passing the ball.
He sent three wonderful passes in a row, allowing his teammates to easily score points.
When the Grizzlies saw this, they all thought Wang Yi was going to change his style of play in the 4th quarter, so they began to prevent Wang Yi from passing the ball.
However, at this moment Wang Yi began to attack again.
First, he tried a three-point shot from the outside and missed. Then he started to catch the ball and shoot jumpers in the mid-range, either by killing the inside to score points, or causing the opponent to foul and go to the free throw line.
As a result, he scored another 10 points in 3 minutes.
So far his score has reached 60 points.
At this time, there are still 7 minutes before the end of the game.
The Kings already lead the Grizzlies by 20 points.
Wang Yi did not attack again.
Instead, he started passing the ball after attracting double-teams.
Even if he had a better chance, he did not take another shot casually. Instead, he found a teammate with a better chance and passed the ball to his teammate.
After all, basketball is really a sport for five people, so teammates must have a sense of participation.
Moreover, if one person attacks alone, it will consume too much physical energy.
In the past, there were experience cards provided by the system. Wang Yi felt that it would not be too difficult if he really wanted to score 60, 70, 80 or even 100 points.
But when the system did not give experience cards, Wang Yi truly realized how difficult it was to get 60 points.
It’s better to talk about whether your personal ability can reach it. In terms of physical fitness alone, 80% of the players in the league cannot reach it.
Just imagine, we usually play half a field on the field. If you attack alone for five or six consecutive rounds, you will be out of breath.
You can imagine how tiring it would be to have one person attack continuously in the highest-level competitive arena like the NBA.
And Wang Yi not only wants to score 60 points in this game, he will also score 60 points in the next game and the next game.
This consumption of physical energy is extremely terrifying.
So after reaching 60 points in this game, he always has to save some physical energy for the next game.
In the end, with 5 minutes left in the game, the Kings had led by 23 points, and at this time Wang Yi also left the game.
When he came off the stage, no one in the audience who had been calling him the Garbage King before called him the Garbage King anymore.
Their team's ace player Morant only scored 37 points in this game, while Wang Yi scored 60 points. If Wang Yi is garbage, then who is Morant?
