NBA: A three-point experience card at the beginning

As soon as the fourth quarter started, the Lakers' five deadly players were still attacking like crazy.

Although the Jazz head coach emphasized to them during the break that they needed to increase the intensity of the game and the level of confrontation.

But this was a hasty arrangement after all.

The players were not prepared physically or mentally.

So in the first three minutes of the game, amidst the frenzied attack by the Lakers, they overtook the score in one fell swoop.

But in fact, this is not the real death of the Lakers.

If we have to count the five dead ones, James and Wang Yi should be included anyway.

Wang Yi's individual defense ability is very good, coupled with his strong offensive firepower.

Naturally, besides James, he is the best choice among the five younger members of Death.

The Jazz coach had to request a timeout again.

At this time, the Jazz only had two timeouts left.

At the last critical moment, I'm afraid it won't be enough.

As the players were leaving the game, the Jazz coach took another look at No. 1 on the Lakers bench.

Although he was not on the court when the Lakers took the lead.

But in fact, as a head coach, he deeply understands how important this No. 1 is to the Lakers.

It was his seven three-pointers that sounded the clarion call for the Lakers' counterattack.

It is also his spirit and hard work that inject vitality into players like the Lakers who had originally planned to give up strategically, giving their offense and defense a soul.

Coach Snyder cursed secretly:

"Damn it, if it weren't for this guy, the Jazz would have already won. How could they still be two points behind?"

During the timeout, head coach Snyder looked at Mitchell.

Mitchell was also a little confused just now.

Mitchell has participated in several playoffs, and he is aware of the defensive intensity in the playoffs.

But he had never seen a game like this that started off loose and seemed like he didn't want to win at all, but then suddenly increased the intensity of the game to the playoff level.

The head coach patted the tactical board as if he wanted to wake up Mitchell:

"You have to cheer up! They are biting like this, which consumes too much physical energy. They will soon run out of physical energy."

"This is our home court. We train at the Highland Arena every day. And the audience are our fans. Everything is good for us."

"So we can't lose this game!"

But after saying this, I saw that although Mitchell had a reaction, it was not big.

He had to keep stimulating:

"Think about it, at most we have led by 14 points. At our home court, if we lead by 14 points and still lose, how will we be scolded by more than 20,000 fans?"

"They will greet our families, our relatives, even our children. Is this what you want to see?"

Mitchell finally looked up at this time.

In his eyes, fighting spirit emerged.

Jazz fans are tough, not just against their opponents.

If the Jazz doesn't play well, they will still be ridiculed and abused.

The fans scold him, and he can accept it.

But scolding his family is something he cannot tolerate.

Coach Snyder saw that Mitchell seemed to have finally woken up, and he nodded with satisfaction:

"Go and fight, you are a fighter!"

Finally, under the stimulation of Coach Snyder, Mitchell seemed to be a new person after he returned to the field.

Although under Caruso's full bite, his hit rate dropped.

But he began to change his offensive approach.

Constantly breaking through and getting to the basket.

Either assist Gobert for a dunk, score by yourself, or cause damage.

It even hit 21 twice.

After only three minutes of play, the Lakers were beaten 7-0.

Almost with the help of Mitchell, the Jazz not only overtook the score, but also widened the point difference to 5 points.

As a result, these Lakers players on the court seemed a little discouraged.

When you try your best and use up almost all your strength, you are unable to guard against the opponent at all.

And the score difference is getting wider and wider.

It would be a lie to say that I am not discouraged.

In the Tencent NBA live broadcast room, Lakers fans have long been anxious.

"How long has it been since you still haven't let Brother Yi play?"

"Mitchell is so tough, only my brother Yi can defeat him."

"Is Vogel suffering from Alzheimer's disease? Why don't you replace Brother Yi?"

At this time, Vogel was in a dilemma.

Let Wang Yi play, he will definitely fight too hard.

In this inherently difficult game, if he fights too hard and gets injured, then he, the head coach, will feel very guilty.

But let’s not let Wang Yi play. Wang Yi has already played the whole game.

There are only the last 6 minutes left, which are also the most critical 6 minutes. Why not let him play?

In that case, not only will he, the coach, be scolded bloody after the game, but it will also chill the hearts of Wang Yi and these young Lakers players.

At this time, James came to Vogel and said:

"Coach, how about...let the king do it?"

With the support of the team boss, Vogel made up his mind.

Looking at Wang Yi.

At this time, Wang Yi's face was no longer as pale as before.

The chest rise and fall was not as violent as before.

But Vogel knew that Wang Yi's strength might have been exhausted long ago.

What he needs most at this time is rest.

But when Wang Yi saw the coach looking over, he stood up and said:

"Coach, can I play?"

Vogel paused and then nodded:

"Okay, but... you have to pay attention to protecting yourself."

The subtext is that you can lose the game, but you can never get injured.

Wang Yi nodded: "Understood!"

After returning from the timeout, Wang Yi returned to the field.

Jazz head coach Snyder saw Wang Yi coming on the court and looked at the score on the scoreboard.

This guy is back on the field. A 5-point advantage is not safe.

At this time, the Lakers attack.

Wang Yi still kept moving.

In the process of running, he felt that the physical strength he had just recovered was rapidly losing.

In plateau arenas, physical strength will be lost faster than in ordinary arenas.

But at this time, Wang Yi no longer cared about this.

He just wants to win!

After running out of the open space, he catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer.

However, the ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced out of the basket.

In the Tencent NBA live broadcast room, Yang Yi saw this scene and said with some regret:

"He's tired. Wang Yi is tired. His movements are a little deformed when he takes action. He's too tired."

Wang Meng responded:

"The third quarter requires too much physical energy on him, and his shooting percentage will definitely drop."

Yang Yi said: "So this is what I said before, when his physical energy is almost exhausted and his offensive efficiency is greatly reduced, what should Wang Yi do?"

Soon, Wang Yi gave him the answer.

When the Jazz were attacking, Wang Yi said to Caruso:

"I'll guard Mitchell."

When the offense isn't working and he can't score goals, he starts from the defensive end.

He has to guard against the opponent's arrow: Mitchell!

Caruso asked worriedly: "Your physical strength..."

"no problem!"

Wang Yi said very firmly.
