Wang Yi doesn’t know anything about this.
He is concentrating on preparing for the next game.
Now in the playoffs, although he no longer disconnects from the Internet, his self-control is still very strong.
During the playoffs, don't pay attention to the rumors on the Internet at all.
Two days later, the third game between the two sides was held in Sacramento.
In this game, there was no curse from the away audience of nearly 20,000 people.
There is no more noise of the past.
When the Kings players came out, all the fans at the scene cheered.
Listening to the cheers of the audience, the female DJ Chantil at the Coral Tsunami also announced the names of each player with a high-pitched and broad voice like Phoenix Legend Linghua, which made all the players feel a little warm in their hearts and finally returned.
Arrived home.
Going to the Grizzlies to play away and playing at home in Sacramento are two completely different feelings. It feels like playing two different games.
When we go to an away game, we feel like the whole world wants to beat us.
The feeling at home is: The whole world wants to beat you with us.
Wang Yi looked at the players' expressions with excitement. He smiled and asked: "It feels so good to be back at home, do you never want to go to away games again?"
All the players nodded.
Wang Yi continued: "Then the battle will end within these two games, and there will be no need to go to Memphis."
The players clenched their fists with firm eyes: "Destroy the Grizzlies in two games!"
As a result, after the opening game, the Kings played extremely aggressively and offensively.
Whether it was offense or defense, they did it to the extreme.
At the same time, Wang Yi was in very good condition as soon as he started today.
Continuous mid-range hits helped the Kings gain a 10-point lead in just 5 minutes.
However, the Grizzlies are not soft persimmons. They were able to get the third place record in the Western Conference in the regular season with two tricks, so they launched a counterattack.
The score difference was narrowed again.
At the end of the first quarter, the Kings only led by 5 points.
Wang Yi Wang Yi scored 15 points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Wang Yi wanted to exert his strength again, but the Grizzlies' defense against him was obviously more abnormal than in the previous game.
As long as Wang Yi wants to get the ball, two people will mark him and never give him a chance to catch the ball.
If Wang Yi wants to catch the ball, he must keep running on the court.
He kept running around the screen in the paint, and then suddenly received the ball from the outside and shot a three-pointer.
In the entire first half, the Grizzlies only gave Wang Yi 17 opportunities to catch the ball.
Among them, Wang Yi took direct action 14 times.
And since most of his shots today were three-pointers, these 14 shots allowed him to score 30 points.
Of course, this also includes free throws after the opponent fouls him.
This made the Grizzlies realize something was wrong.
Is it true that the 60 points Wang Yi said in this game will come true?
So during the halftime break, the head coach once again emphasized their defense against Wang Yi.
As a result, after coming on the court in the second half, Wang Yi first scored a three-pointer with the logo.
Then after hitting two consecutive 3-pointers, he suddenly started attacking the basket.
Even if the opponent desperately doesn't want Wang Yi to catch the ball, Wang Yi's running speed is too fast, especially the reverse run. No one in the entire Grizzlies team can keep up with his speed and can only watch him helplessly.
Get the ball, then start, kill in one step and shoot to the inside.
After the third quarter, Wang Yi had scored 47 points.
However, the overall state of the Grizzlies today is also very good. Although Wang Yi scored 47 points, the point difference was not completely widened. The Kings only led the Grizzlies by 4 points after the end of the third quarter.
At this time, the Grizzlies head coach asked the assistant coach next to him: "How many points did Wang Yi score?"
"47,"
The assistant coach replied.
Jenkins frowned slightly when he heard this.
"We can't let him score 60 points."
If Wang Yi is allowed to score another 60 points, it will definitely be a shame for the Grizzlies.
Just imagine, in the entire history of the NBA, only Chamberlain scored 60 points in two consecutive games. In modern basketball, no one has achieved such a feat.
If Wang Yi scored another 60 points today, it would be two consecutive games with 60 points, and these two consecutive games were scored at the head of the Grizzlies. How miserable would the Grizzlies be?
So he formulated a strategy for the players: "Double-teaming Wang Yi before he catches the ball will allow other Kings players to take shots easily, but will not let Wang Yi get the ball."
"If Wang Yi receives the ball, he will be double-teamed."
So in the fourth quarter, with the Grizzlies' defensive strategy, it became even more difficult for Wang Yi to catch the ball.
It seems that all the players on the Grizzlies are guarding Wang Yi and don't care about the rest of the Kings at all.
It is difficult for Wang Yi to have a chance to catch the ball.
Wang Yi's strategy is, if you don't let me catch the ball, then I will grab the rebound.
So I saw Wang Yi grab a rebound in the backcourt, then rush all the way to the frontcourt and score a three-point layup.
Or when the Kings players failed to make a shot, Wang Yi grabbed the rebound and dunked successfully.
The Kings players are also aware of this, so when Wang Yi grabs rebounds, they will take the initiative to help Wang Yi block the position.
He even gave up the rebound to Wang Yi consciously.
Just like when Westbrook was in the Thunder, Adams, as a big center, did not get rebounds. Instead, he helped Westbrook block people and let Westbrook get rebounds.
This was called data brushing by many people at the time.
In order to get the historical triple-double king, Westbrook blindly brushed up the data.
It is undeniable that Westbrook is indeed suspected of brushing up data in some games.
But on the other hand, it makes sense to let Westbrook get the rebound.
Because of the Thunder team at that time, Westbrook was the absolute core and point guard.
And Westbrook's characteristics are fast speed and strong impact.
After he gets the rebound, he can immediately launch a fast break.
On the contrary, if you let others grab the rebound and then pass it to Westbrook to start the offense, of course it will not be as fast as Westbrook grabbing the rebound himself and launching the offense directly.
It is equivalent to exploiting shortcomings and avoiding strengths.
The Kings are now adopting this style of play.
Especially Danny, his speed and Wang Yi are like two knives when combined.
Little Danny also saw his boss's awareness of scoring today, so even though he was running in front and had a chance to dunk, he still threw the ball towards the backboard, allowing Wang Yi to catch the ball and dunk successfully.
In the end, with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Wang Yi relied on a fast break three-pointer to increase his score to 62 points.
So far, Wang Yi has scored 60+ in two consecutive games.
Became the second player in history to win 60 games in two consecutive games.
The moment the ball was scored, all the Grizzlies players' faces were as dark as water.
Everyone's faces were extremely solemn.
Especially the star player Morant and their head coach Jenkins.
Chapter completed!
