NBA: A three-point experience card at the beginning

Los Angeles, Staples Center Arena.

Wang Yi was wearing Lakers No. 1 jersey and sitting at the end of the bench—a position nicknamed the water cooler keeper.

He's not even a water cooler keeper because the team only signed him to a ten-day contract.

After today's fight, he will have to pack up and leave.

But he won't give up.

Even if there was only a slight chance, he would seize it firmly.

His eyes were fixed on the court, but he glanced at the coach from time to time.

The game between the Lakers and the Warriors has reached the last eight minutes of the fourth quarter.

The Lakers are 80 to 110, a full 30 points behind the Warriors.

Like many games in the past, the Lakers' offense was constipated.

3 of 18 three-pointers were even more eye-catching.

Looking back at the Warriors, star Curry once again turned on the day-to-day mode and made 11 of 15 three-pointers.

One person scored three points for the entire Lakers team.

Seeing that there is no hope of chasing points, the Lakers head coach has withdrawn James and Big Eyebrow and other main players.

James was lowering his head and chewing his fingernails intently.

This is his habitual action when he is in a bad mood.

Although Brother Nongmei looked at the court, the focus of his eyes was not on the court. He was obviously distracted.

In such an environment, Wang Yi's nerves began to become tense.

In the past two years, he has bounced around various teams.

Finally, he signed a ten-day short contract with the Lakers.

It is now the last day of the ten-day short contract.

For a player like him, he can usually only appear during garbage time.

And he must seize this rare opportunity and perform well enough to win himself a second ten-day short contract.

Finally, in the last five minutes, the Lakers were already 35 points behind.

The head coach shook his head helplessly and glanced at the bench.

It finally fell on Wang Yi.

In the past ten days, this young man from the East, despite his average talent, has never been able to get a chance to play with the Lakers.

But his active efforts in training and his low-key and humble manner made the head coach very fond of him.

Today is the last night of his ten-day short contract, so he should be given a chance to show off.

Although the Lakers will definitely not give him a second ten-day short contract, they will give him a chance to perform. Maybe if he performs well, other teams will take a fancy to him and give him another job.

Although this probability is basically negligible.

Thinking of this, the head coach waved to Wang Yi:

"King, it's your turn to show off."

Half of Wang Yi's attention is on the head coach.

Hearing the head coach's greeting, he felt a rush of blood from his chest rushing to his forehead.

He stood up quickly.

It's been three months since I've been on the court.

Finally, he stood on the court again.

Standing in the place where he has been chasing the dream for more than 20 years.

At this moment.

When his feet stepped on the floor of the Staples Center, a cold mechanical sound suddenly came from his mind:

[The host gets a chance to play for the Lakers, and the sign-in system is activated. 】

【Do you want to sign in now? 】

Wang Yi was slightly startled.

But we were in the middle of a game at the moment and didn’t have time to think too much.

I subconsciously said in my mind: "Sign in."

【Sign in successfully!】

[Sign-in reward: A super three-point experience card]

In my mind, the cold mechanical voice spoke again.

Wang Yi paused again.

I just wanted to explore it carefully.

The referee on the sidelines had already waved to Wang Yi to hurry up.

He could only trot into the field.

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, in the Tencent NBA live broadcast room.

When the two guest commentators saw Wang Yi in the picture, they simply said:

"Chinese player Wang Yi is on the field, let's see how he performs."

Just mentioned it briefly.

After all, Wang Yi has bounced around as many as eight teams in his two years in the NBA.

Because the head coach didn't give him a chance, he failed to show his worth in any team.

So even the two commentators are not optimistic about Wang Yi.

On the live broadcast barrage, there was even more abuse.

"I saw this guy as soon as I entered the live broadcast room. It's bad luck!"

"Remember the last time he was knocked down? It was so embarrassing!"

"It's shameful to be sent abroad. It's better to come back as soon as possible."

I think back when Wang Yi first landed in the NBA, he had high hopes.

Domestic fans can praise him to the sky.

But later due to a wrist injury during training, his performance on the field was poor.

In addition, many coaches in the NBA are biased against Asians and do not give them a chance.

Gradually he became a fringe player.

Many domestic fans began to abuse him and wanted to send him to the 18th level of hell.

Of course, there are people who understand him, but compared to Hei Wang Yi, there are far fewer.

At this time, at the Staples Center, the Lakers served.

As a shooting guard, Wang Yi came to the Lakers half after serving the ball.

Several Lakers players on the court are all players who cannot play until garbage time.

Now that I finally got the chance to play, I naturally wanted to perform well.

No one wants to cooperate.

In two rounds, each of the four of them attacked once, but failed to score the ball.

On the contrary, it made the score even wider, reaching as many as 35 points.

Finally, when the Lakers attacked in the third round, the ball reached Wang Yi at the top of the three-point arc.

As soon as Wang Yi got the ball, he suddenly became more energetic.

His whole body seemed to be full of power - all due to his love for basketball.

He saw the defensive player facing him, standing loosely.

He didn't hesitate and jumped up quickly.

A standard shooting posture with a bit of a picturesque leanback.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Swish——

Hollow into the net!

A very nice three points.

However, this goal attracted almost no one's attention.

Compared with the huge score difference of more than 30 points, this three-pointer is completely a drop in the bucket.

One-third of the audience in the auditorium has already left.

Most of the remaining viewers were chatting or playing with their mobile phones.

Across the ocean, in the Tencent live broadcast room.

Two commentators were chatting about the rankings of each team.

I didn't even notice that Wang Yi from China scored a beautiful three-pointer.

There are a lot of weird comments on the barrage.

"Oh, you actually managed to score a three-pointer. You must be lucky."

"Don't say it's just luck. If he scores two more three-pointers, I'll swallow the shit."

On the field, the game continues.

After the Warriors missed a shot, the Lakers attacked again.

After two Lakers players made a mistake in cooperation, they were almost cut off by the Warriors.

Fortunately, the ball hit Wang Yi by mistake and flew towards Wang Yi again.

Wang Yi was at the top of the three-point arc again. After getting the ball, he didn't hesitate at all.

Just pull it up and cast it.

Tonight is his last chance to perform. If he doesn't perform at his best, I'm afraid he will never have the chance to play in the NBA after his contract ends tonight.

So let alone ideals, life may be very difficult - although life is already very difficult now.

Swish——

Three points crossed the dome.

Entering the net empty again.

Another nice three-pointer.

86 to 115, catching up to 29 points!

However, this three-pointer still did not cause any waves in the audience.

Only the head coach of the Lakers clapped his hands vigorously to encourage Wang Yi.

James stopped biting his nails at this time.

He also clapped his hands and encouraged Wang Yi.

As the boss of the team, when he sees his teammates performing well, he will naturally stand up and encourage them immediately.

Next, the Warriors made mistakes on offense.

Lakers fast break.

Wang Yi concentrated on accelerating, ran forward with all his strength, and landed in the bottom corner.

The Lakers point guard wanted a layup, but the Warriors were not slow to return to defense.

The Warriors' center has blocked his way to the layup.

The Lakers point guard subconsciously passed the ball to Wang Yi.

Pass the ball to whoever has hot hands. This is basic common sense for a point guard.

Wang Yi still did not hesitate, pulled it out and threw it.

Bang——

The three-pointer hit the basket, and a muffled sound came out.

Wang Yi's heart suddenly sank.

Fortunately, the ball bounced and hit the backboard.

He bounced on the rim four more times before falling into the rim.

89 to 115, the Lakers caught up with only 26 points.

This time, there were a few spectators present, and there was sparse applause.

Wang Yi scored three three-pointers in less than a minute, which surprised them a little.

However, that's all.

In the Tencent NBA live broadcast room, some fans started to boo on the barrage.

"Two more three-pointers."

"Where's that shit brother just now? Come out."

However, Brother Shit has long since escaped.

The Warriors head coach immediately called for a timeout.

Although the Chinese man scored 9 points in a row, it seemed to be a drop in the bucket.

But to be on the safe side, he still wanted to briefly talk about his defense against this Chinese.

Calling all the players over, he pointed at the one with the best single-defense ability among the substitutes, Afro, and said: "You mainly defend Lakers No. 1. You'd rather let him break through than let him shoot a three-pointer. Do you understand?"

?”

The afro glanced sideways at the Eastern man in the distance, with a trace of disdain on his lips.

Nodding: "Don't worry, coach, I want to prevent him from crying and calling his mother while crawling back to the east."

On the Lakers side, the head coach simply gave the Lakers players a simple arrangement: "You guys help Wang cover. Wang, take a three-pointer when you have the chance, and be decisive!"

He is encouraging Wang Yi.

When Wang Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

This is the first time since he entered the NBA that a head coach has taken the initiative to arrange tactics for him.

Although it was just a simple cover tactic, it also made him excited.

He nodded heavily, with a fiery light shining in his eyes:

"Um!"

However, after agreeing, he felt slightly uneasy.

The injury to his right wrist never fully recovered.

The last time he shot a three-pointer just now, he already had obvious pain in his wrist.

This resulted in the three-pointer almost missing.

If he attempts a three-pointer again, not only will the injury become more serious.

And if you can't hit a three-pointer, it will be extremely detrimental to finding your next job.

What's more, the Warriors will definitely strengthen their three-point defense next.

In this situation, how can you hit a three-pointer despite being injured?

Frowning slightly, he thought about how to get out of the predicament in front of him.

At this time, a thought suddenly flashed through: the super three-point experience card!
