791 Point Guard Task
At 8:00 that evening, the game between the Kings and the Grizzlies was held at the Golden One Center.
The 17,317 seats here were often packed during the second half of last season.
But today, there were more than 2,000 empty seats.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the fans.
The team's record is not good, losing five games in a row.
Fans spend money to have fun and entertainment, not to be tortured.
If your performance is too bad, you can't blame others for not watching.
Wang Yi looked at the empty seats.
The fighting spirit in my heart burned again.
It won't be long before he makes the Golden One Center a sell-out again.
Today the team owner and team general manager Divac came to the scene to watch the game.
Anjiali and Nicole also came to the box on the fourth floor to watch the game.
However, neither Ranadive nor general manager Divac went to the box because the box was a little far away from the stadium and they had special seats.
They want to see how the team performs in the first game after changing the head coach?
Even if you can't win, at least let people see the changes in the team.
Before the game started, Pippen spoke again.
"The Kings have lost five consecutive games and have actually hit rock bottom. The Grizzlies have won four consecutive games and their momentum is at its peak. Even if the Kings change coaches and let Wang Yi switch to point guard, it is impossible to win a victory."
Pierce also came out to share the popularity:
"Two and a half hours later, the King's sixth defeat will come."
The odds offered by several bookmakers for the Kings are relatively high.
In other words, few people are optimistic about the Kings.
During the pre-game warm-up, other players were practicing layups and shooting meticulously.
Only Ja Morant, the star player of the Grizzlies, was doing various dunks.
360-degree turn dunk, crotch switch dunk, windmill dunk, folding back dunk...
This guy was the second overall pick in 2019.
His physical fitness is explosive, his heart is as high as the sky, and he wants to dunk on everyone he meets.
Especially when meeting those long-established superstars in the league, just like a newly released man meeting a woman, he can't resist the urge to buckle.
As the saying goes, Morant does not buckle unknown people.
For example, James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Love God, Gobert, Big Eyebrows, Howard, Big White Bian, Big Lopez, Chasing Green...
Anyway, whenever he sees these people in front of him, he will definitely pull it up and buckle it without hesitation.
But as the saying goes, the heart is higher than the sky and life is thinner than paper.
When trying to dunk these people, they often end up in failure, and the person who dunks is often turned upside down and covered with chicken feathers.
So he also has a nickname, the essence of human failure.
His hair is very unique.
There is a pile of thin dreadlocks on the back of the head, like a bowl of instant noodles hanging on the back of the head.
The few little pigtails on the top of her head rise to the sky, like a feather shuttlecock.
The great writer Yi Jiang Qiuyue once wrote a poem praising:
He has a feather shuttlecock on his head and instant noodles on the back of his head.
When you see people, you will touch each other with feathers.
At this time, Morant's dunk practice was naturally a rehearsal for Wang Yi and Capela's subsequent dunks.
Needless to say, Capela, with his height of 2.08 meters, will definitely become Morant's target for dunks.
And Wang Yi’s f MVP last season was so hot last season.
If he could dunk him once in this game, that would be Morant's biggest wish.
The warm-up is over and the entrance ceremony for both sides begins.
The visiting team Grizzlies' entrance ceremony is very simple.
The on-site DJ simply announced their names.
When the Kings arrived, their light show started again.
Under this 3D light show, the floor of the scene cracked and cracked, and a huge boulder protruded from the crack.
It's like a submarine breaking through the ice.
Gradually, the complete picture of this huge rock appeared.
This huge stone turns out to be the Glory Stone in The Lion King.
The lion king Simba ascended the throne on this glory stone and accepted the worship of thousands of animals.
At this moment, a majestic lion really stepped out of the picture.
The lion steps forward with a royal demeanor.
Arrive at the top of Glory Stone.
At the same time, an elderly baboon walked over and put a crown on the lion.
At this moment, thousands of animals cheered in unison on the grassland in front of the Glory Stone.
It's still in Chinese.
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."
The Lion King has ascended the throne.
The king is crowned and all the beasts surrender!
Against this magnificent background, along with the overture of the Knife Club, the Kings players appeared.
The first one to appear was Melo Anthony.
Although Gua Ge has just joined the Kings, his status in the world is there and he must be given enough respect.
Then there's Hield and Barnes.
Then came Beverly the Mad Dog, Tucker the Shoe King and Capela the Pie King.
After all the players, the last one to appear was the boss Wang Yi.
After the appearance ceremony, there was a brief preparation on the sidelines. Five minutes later, the starting players of both sides came on the stage.
The moment Wang Yi stepped onto the sideline, the system prompt sounded again in his mind.
It's just that the prompt sound this time is a little different from before.
[System mission: 5 assists in a single quarter, you can unlock the point guard buff.]
[Point Guard Buff: The assister’s passing vision is improved, the assisted person’s two-point shooting rate reaches 50%, and the three-point shooting rate reaches 40%]
Seeing this point guard buff, Wang Yi had only one feeling.
It's outrageous.
In the past, all rewards in the system were basically for the host.
For example, various experience cards, score experience cards, kill experience cards, etc.
But this time the point guard buff can increase the shooting percentage of teammates.
This is quite scary.
Just imagine, the league's average three-point shooting percentage this season is 35%.
Curry's three-point shooting percentage this season is 42.7%.
In other words, as long as Wang Yi's assists are received, the shooting rate can reach a level close to Curry's.
Moreover, this buff ignores the shooting level of the person being assisted.
Even if Capela receives a pass from Wang Yi and shoots a three-pointer, his three-point shooting rate can reach 40%.
To put it a bit exaggerated, it’s Curry per capita.
Just ask who else?
Of course, it is quite difficult to complete this task.
To get five assists in a single quarter, Wang Yi not only needs to pass the ball more, but also needs his teammates’ shooting percentage to keep up.
So there is also an element of luck involved.
At this time, the Kings' Capela and the Grizzlies' Aquaman Adams jumped the ball in midfield.
Although Capela is not as tall as Aquaman Adams or as strong as Adams, he can jump higher than Adams.
And Adams is a relatively honest person.
There was no trickery when jumping the ball, so the ball was jumped by Capela.
Capela passed the ball to Wang Yi.
At this time, Mad Dog Beverly was already charging forward like a madman.
It turned out that when the jump ball started, he had already run towards the frontcourt and was already at the basket.
The player guarding him has just reached the three-point line in the frontcourt at this time.
Wang Yi threw the ball directly towards the frontcourt.
After Beverley got the ball, he hit the board lightly and the ball obediently entered the basket.
At the same time, a systematic prompt came from Wang Yi's mind.
Chapter completed!
