During the break in the first quarter, Wang Yi and head coach Walton paid close attention to Holmes and Barnes.
I saw that Holmes's eyes had regained some energy at this time.
The Kings led by 9 points in the first quarter, which restored some of his fighting spirit.
This made both Wang Yi and Wharton breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that Holmes will not be able to recover in this game.
After all, he is a young player and his emotions fluctuate a lot.
Fighting spirit goes as quickly as it comes.
But Barnes made Wang Yi very worried.
The Kings have gone from being 5 points behind to overtaking the lead by 9 points, but there is still no light in his eyes.
When Wang Yi came off the stage, he just raised his head and then continued to lower his head.
Wang Yi frowned.
It seemed that he had guessed wrong just now. It was not as if Barnes had lost his fighting spirit, but rather that he had been hit by other things.
He put a hand on Barnes' shoulder and sat in the chair next to him.
"Dude, what happened? Can you tell me?"
Wang Yi asked softly.
It was then that Barnes seemed to regain some consciousness.
When he raised his head and looked at Wang Yi, there were tears in his eyes.
Wang Yi felt a thump in his heart, it seemed that the matter was not trivial.
Although Barnes is a person who loves music and is sensitive to many things, Wang Yi has never seen Barnes shed tears.
In the Kings, Wang Yi is the boss, and Barnes is an effective deputy next to him.
He always helped Wang Yi complete some tasks that Wang Yi had not thought of when Wang Yi, the boss, was not doing enough.
So he always behaves very strongly.
If you are crying in front of Wang Yi now, then it must be something serious.
It was okay if Wang Yi didn't ask. When he asked, the tears that were still rolling in Barnes's eyes suddenly welled up.
He had no choice but to hang his head again.
Wang Yi took a towel from the chair next to him and stuffed it into Barnes' hand.
Barnes immediately covered his face with a towel, his shoulders shaking constantly.
Crying silently.
In the end, he even covered his head with the entire towel.
Wang Yi didn't know what happened, so he had to put his hand heavily on Barnes's shoulder.
Since the young players of the Kings were still in the excitement of the three-point rain in the first quarter at this time, few players noticed something strange about Barnes.
Only head coach Walton and the two assistant coaches next to him noticed.
However, they know that this is an important moment in the playoffs and cannot let other things interfere with the team's game.
So they didn't come around immediately.
Wang Yi still doesn’t plan to take a break in the second quarter.
He stood up directly.
Head coach Walton asked Wang Yi: "Wang, don't you need a rest?"
Wang Yi shook his head: "My physical condition is very good tonight."
Walton nodded: "You have to pay attention to your own body. If you are tired, tell me and I will take you off the field immediately to rest."
Wang Yi nodded, and then pressed Barnes' shoulder again: "Brother, just take a good rest tonight. Leave everything on the court to me."
Barnes' shoulders were still shaking, but not as much as before.
Wang Yi turned around and walked towards the court.
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Brother, let me slow down, I will play in the second half."
Wang Yi turned around and saw that Barnes had wiped away his tears, but his eyes were still very red.
After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Wang Yi nodded to Barnes: "Well, I'll wait for you."
After playing again, O'Neal saw that Wang Yi was still on the court, and he was no longer surprised by this.
"Wang Yi often plays for about 40 minutes this season, and we are used to it."
Johnson was a little worried: "That was in the regular season. The intensity of the playoffs is much greater than that of the regular season, and the physical energy consumption will be much faster. If he keeps playing like this, it may be a big problem in the second half."
O'Neal nodded: "Of course it will be a big problem. But I believe he will find a way to overcome it. Don't forget that he is a monster and cannot be speculated based on common sense."
On the Lakers side, Westbrook and Big Eyebrow were both off at this time, and James and Anthony were on the court again.
The Kings still used a mad dog-style bite when they came up.
This made both James and Anthony a little uncomfortable.
After all, the two of them are getting older, and they are no longer as one-on-one as they were when they were young.
Anthony's speed has slowed down a lot, and his main role now is to shoot three-pointers from the outside.
Occasionally hit a few in the low post.
Once the defender is too close, his three-point shot cannot be taken.
Although James is still very strong in one-on-one situations, if he encounters a double-team, he can only pass the ball out.
Therefore, under the mad dog bite of the Kings, the Lakers' offensive efficiency was very average.
On the other hand, in the first possession of the second quarter, when the Lakers failed to attack, Holmes grabbed a rebound.
He originally wanted to pass to Wang Yi to start a fast break, but James blocked Wang Yi.
And Mitchell was also killed.
He hesitated for a moment and then dribbled the ball by himself.
Wang Yi and Mitchell saw this and quickly ran forward.
The two of them ran like this, driving the Lakers players to quickly run forward.
And in such a mess, no one is guarding Holmes. After all, they think Holmes is a center, so what threat can he pose with the ball in the backcourt?
At this time, Holmes seemed to want to make up for his mistakes in the first quarter. He quickly dribbled the ball through the midfield, and then went straight to the penalty area.
The Lakers players retreated quickly at this time and did not have time to get into position, so their defense was a bit messy and they were unable to get into position.
Holmes drove straight into the penalty area almost unguarded and dunked.
This made Vogel a little angry, and he roared loudly on the sidelines: "Retreat, retreat, where is your retreat?"
Although the Lakers scored in the second round, Holmes quickly jumped out of the baseline to serve.
Wang Yi held the ball and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt.
In this case, you can't use two people to double-team.
Because during a fast break, if two people double-team another, other players will easily have opportunities.
At this time, the only one defending Wang Yi was James.
Wang Yi dribbled directly to the midline and James followed closely behind.
After Wang Yi came to the center circle, he straightened up without hesitation.
All the fans stood up when they saw this.
O'Neal also exclaimed: "Three points for the logo!"
The magician also shouted: "Three points for the logo!"
James, who was behind, saw this and jumped up high to block Wang Yi.
However, Wang Yi just straightened up. When James passed over his head, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity again and dribbled quickly toward the three-point line.
Take off with your right foot on the free throw line.
Super long-distance gliding battle ax chop.
The scene suddenly erupted into a roaring tsunami.
At the same time, the live DJ's high-pitched, powerful and majestic announcement sounded.
"Gliding tomahawk dunk from the free throw line, the one from China is No. 0."
"Wang————Yi————————"
With this goal, the whole world thought that Wang Yi was going to shoot a three-pointer with the logo.
Chapter completed!
