NBA: A three-point experience card at the beginning

63 Last shot, give me the ball

Game time remaining: 8 seconds.

Score: 125 to 127, the Lakers are 2 points behind.

Lakers possession.

All the spectators at the scene were standing.

The hearts of all the viewers almost jumped out of their chests.

The palms of all the spectators were already covered with sweat.

Although the Trail Blazers still lead by 2 points, in the NBA, where miracles happen, 8 seconds is too long.

Anything can happen.

The on-site commentator, bald Kevin, took a sip of water to try to relieve his nervousness.

But it's of no use at all.

His voice was no longer like usual, but had a slight vibrato.

The partner next to me asked: "Kevin, are you okay?"

Kevin laughed and replied: "Of course, we are leading by two points, I am very good. Then as long as we defend the Lakers' last attack, we will win. We will lead the Lakers by four games. Knock them to

Go to the play-offs.”

The Blazers head coach is emphasizing defense at this time.

"The main thing is to defend against three-pointers and don't give them a chance to take three-pointers."

"Of course, you have to guard against two points, and watch out for James' breakthrough."

"Remember, don't foul. Our number of fouls has already been reached. If you foul, you will get a free throw!"

The Trail Blazers players all nodded.

However, it can be seen that several young players have relatively relaxed expressions.

They haven't been beaten hard by society yet.

In their view, a 2-point lead in 8 seconds is basically stable.

Although the NBA is the place where miracles are born, if miracles happen so easily, they wouldn't be called miracles.

On the Lakers bench, the head coach drew a tactic and said:

"Draymond served a throw-in, and LeBron covered Wang at the free throw line. Wang bypassed LeBron and ran toward the baseline, pretending to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer. They took a look at Wang's three-point threat and will definitely attack with all their strength.

Defensive king. At this time, LeBron went from the free throw line to the line to catch the ball."

"After receiving the ball, LeBron had better shoot a three-pointer within three seconds. Other players will try their best to grab the rebound. If we miss the three-pointer, we still have a chance to make a tip-up."

James saw the tactic drawn by the coach and turned to look at Vogel:

"This was the tactic back then?"

Vogel nodded: "That's right."

The words were slightly painful.

When James was still with the Heat, he met the Pacers led by Vogel in the playoffs.

In the last 2.2 seconds, the Heat played exactly this kind of tactical coordination.

It's just that the original plan was for James to kill the game with a shot. No one expected that he would choose a breakthrough layup and kill the Pacers.

This time, James still has two options: a three-pointer or a layup.

Vogel knew that he would definitely choose a three-pointer.

Because he is older, he must protect his body.

Don't consume too much in the regular season.

When Wang Yi saw this, he felt a little envious.

This is superstar status.

The most critical moment and the most critical goal must be handed over to the superstar.

When will I have such a status?

At this time, James thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Coach, I think we can try new tactics."

When the head coach heard this, Weiwei was a little surprised.

He glanced at Wang Yi and then looked at James: "The new tactics were just formulated yesterday. Each of our new tactics has only been practiced less than ten times. I'm afraid everyone is not very skilled."

Yesterday, the coach specially created five sets of three-point shooting tactics for Wang Yi.

It's just that everyone is not very proficient, so it is too risky to use it.

There is another point that Vogel did not say.

That is, before that, Wang Yi had missed all four shots.

How could you still give him the ball at such a critical moment?

A smart man like James naturally knows Vogel's subtext.

He said: "We will use the simplest of these tactics, the human wall tactic. Everyone is already familiar with this tactic."

Then he turned to Wang Yi and asked: "The question now is, Wang, do you still have the confidence to hit this ball?"

When Wang Yi heard this, his heart was already racing.

His eyes sparkled.

Because he was so excited, his body was shaking slightly.

"certainly!"

He gave an extremely positive answer.

Will missing all four shots make him lose confidence?

joke!

45% three-point shooting rate right here.

I missed all four shots before, so I think I should have made a hit this time.

Taking ten thousand steps back, so what if we fail to make a shot?

Everyone will only say that James took the blame again at a critical moment.

Anyway, you can't blame me.

As the saying goes, if I make a shot, it's because I'm good, but if I can't, it's because of James' incompetence.

Why not do such a good thing?

Therefore, it can be said that Wang Yi does not have any psychological burden.

When the head coach saw that James and Wang Yi were so confident, he looked at the other players.

Other players on the Lakers also nodded at this time.

The boss said it's okay, no matter how stupid they are, they can't openly confront the boss.

Finally, the pause time is over.

Players from both sides take the field.

Zhuang Shen served the sideline ball.

Other Lakers players first provided screens for James, allowing James to receive the ball.

James holds the ball outside the left three-point line and moves it slowly.

The other players all go to the right forty-five degrees.

Seeing this scene, everyone thought this was James' singles tactic.

The voice of the on-site commentator was urgent: "James is going to go solo!"

"Guard him! You must guard him for me!"

In the Tencent NBA live broadcast room, Wang Zixing clenched his fists:

"James wants to go it alone. Facing Anthony, can he go it alone?"

Wang Shipeng spoke very quickly: "Others pulled away and James played in singles. This was very common during the Heat. But now James is old. Can he still complete this critical singles at this critical moment?"

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on James.

A scene that the whole world didn't expect happened.

The other three Lakers players suddenly formed a wall at 45 degrees on the right side.

The Blazers players' attention at this time was all on James, and their reaction was a little slower.

Wang Yi activated his power instantly and got through the wall of people.

McCollum, who was chasing Wang Yi, reacted a little slowly and quickly tried to squeeze through the human wall after him.

But after Wang Yi passed by, the human wall moved to the middle, blocking him tightly.

McCollum quickly shouted to other teammates: "Take up defense, quickly!"

But because the Lakers players were lined up in a row, the other Blazers players could only surround themselves on the outside. At this time, it was still very chaotic who was guarding whom.

No one knows who to let chase Wang Yi.

Just like this, no player behind Wang Yi could catch up in time.

At this time, Wang Yi and James formed a partial two-on-one fight.

James changed direction, holding the ball and pressing toward the three-point line.

Anthony quickly took a step back to defend.

At this time, James gently pushed the ball back with his right hand.

Wang Yi arrived just in time.

The top of the three-point arc, right in the center!

James' passing is very comfortable.

Wang Yi catches the ball with both hands.

No need to make any adjustments.

Take a knee!
