005. Knight collapses, and the royal city shows its might!

With four minutes left in the game, the Lakers are trailing by six points.

Wang Cheng walked directly in front of Knight after coming on the court, lowered his center of gravity, and prepared to defend.

Knight is an offensive, physically strong American defender with little playmaking and ball intelligence, but he has good scoring ability, and Marshall is two very different styles.

"Rookie, I'm not the old, weak, sick and disabled like Marshall, don't expect to use my physical advantage to prevent me, I can cross you as easily as crossing the road in the early morning." Nate expertly squirts trash talk.

Wang Cheng naturally didn't bother to pay attention to his uninspired trash talk. Marshall just now at least had the level of an NBA bench, and this guy bullied the Lakers' rookie defense badly, and he swelled after scoring a few points.

The game continued, and after a couple of passes, the ball came to Knight.

Knight had previously hit consecutive shots and was full of confidence, and at this moment he signaled his teammates to pull away and chose to single-handedly play Wang Cheng.

Marshall watched from the sidelines, and he naturally hoped that his teammates could help him get back on the field, but there was always some foreboding in his heart.

It was his hunch as a veteran, and the feeling of pressure when the Kings defended him in the third quarter made him worry about Knight.

Knight naturally didn't know Marshall's worries, and he had a speed advantage in the face of the 1.98m Wangcheng, so after a few tentative dribbles, he saw the timing and accelerated to the right side of Wangcheng after a false flick.

"Bang!"

Knight slammed into Wangcheng's chest firmly.

"He actually followed?!" Knight was shocked.

But he didn't stop the ball, but took a step back, followed by a crotch dribble to open up space, and then a large change of direction to the right side of Rong Wangcheng to cut in.

"Bang!"

Once again, Knight slammed into Wangcheng's chest.

"How is that possible?!" Knight was a little skeptical, and although the yellow-skinned rookie in front of him was not fast, he seemed to be able to predict what he was going to do next.

Actually, this is the credit of [Death Coil].

[Death Coil] not only has a chance to steal the opponent, but also reduces the opponent's accuracy by 30%.

In fact, it is based on improving the owner in terms of reflexes, speed, and prediction, so that it has the NBA's top individual defensive ability, so as to reduce the opponent's shooting percentage.

Wang's body is still far less strong than Leonard's, which prevents him from using this skill 100%, but it is more than enough to deal with an NBA fringe player like Knight.

After Knight was forced to stop again, he chose to turn around and lean back.

Wang Cheng's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward, stretching out his right hand to try to seal it.

"Bang!"

Although it wasn't covered, Knight's shot itself wasn't very consistent, and after a 30% reduction in shooting percentage, the ball hit the iron and popped up.

The Lakers grabbed the defensive rebound.

The scene erupted in cheers.

"Perfect defense! King! His defense reminds me of Leonard! Precise, clean, no small movements! Smith exclaimed.

The Lakers fight back!

The ball brother in the fast break is very difficult to stop.

I saw him make a "quarterback pass" similar to a football game, passing the ball directly from his own half to Kuzma who was about to go down the Clippers half, and scored two points.

The whole fast break goes from start to finish in less than two seconds!

The fans were boiling, as if they saw the dawn of a reversal.

The Clippers turned, and Marshall organized the offense.

Knight ran quickly and tried to get rid of Wang Cheng with the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll.

Wang Cheng was not fast, but relied on good defensive awareness to find gaps and squeeze through the block, and did not lose his position too much.

Marshall saw a glimmer of space and immediately passed the ball,

After Knight received the ball, he was about to observe the situation, when he saw a black shadow in front of him, it was Wang Cheng!

I saw him put his hands out together, and the speed of his hands was so fast that Knight didn't have time to react.

Wang Cheng's big hand grabbed the basketball in Knight's hand like two big pincers, and snatched the ball under his stunned gaze!

"Death Coil!! The royal city once again staged a Leonard-like death entanglement! Commentator Smith shouted excitedly.

Because it was a steal near the three-point line, Wang Cheng had an open front after winning the ball.

Wang Cheng went straight to the point and added two more points, and the Lakers were only two points behind at this time!

The Clippers attacked, Knight got the ball, "Smack!" Wangcheng steals!

The Clippers attacked, Knight got the ball, "Smack!" Wang Cheng steals again!

In just one minute, Wang Cheng made three steals in a row!

The audience was boiling! The commentary is boiling! Fans all over the world watching the game are boiling!

And our victim, Knight, doubts life.

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"What am I going to do?"

I saw him looking at the team's coach's bench with a look of help, as if he wanted to find some answers from his coach or teammates.

But there was confusion, anger and suspicion in the looks of the coach and teammates.

"It's not going to be an actor, is it? How did you get snatched so easily? In the stands, a Clippers fan complained to his companion with a sullen face.

Knight wanted to cry without tears, and if he knew what this fan was thinking, he might cry and say, "It's not that I'm not working hard, but there's a Gundam on the other side!" You can do it..."

After back-to-back turnovers, Rivers quickly called a timeout, and by this time the Clippers were already four points behind the Lakers.

In the next few minutes, Wang Cheng didn't complete any more steals because he had already used up today's [Death Coil], but he still led his teammates to complete an excellent defense.

This is the strategy of the royal city: defend instead of attack!

After a successful defense, Brother Qiu's talent in switching offense was unleashed.

The Lakers relied on Brother Ball's passing to play a lot of pleasing fast breaks, turned defeat into victory, and won a hard-won victory.

And the most frustrated person in this game is Knight.

From the second half of the third quarter, he played with ease, and he was the real most threatening person for the Clippers.

But as soon as Wang Cheng came on, Knight felt as if he was being blocked by a wall.

Every time he catches the ball, it's tough.

Even though Knight stepped up his run and received passes from his teammates, he still had to face Wangcheng's frontal defense.

No matter how realistic the feints he makes, there is no way to really shake off the royal city, and there is even a risk of losing possession.

Afraid of being tackled again, he could only pass the ball back to his teammates again.

Once, twice, three times......

The offensive core of the Clippers, who was the most active before, was directly defended in Wangcheng and began to doubt his life.

In the end, he could only squat in the bottom corner and become invisible.

In Wang Cheng's words: I don't know how to attack now, but don't think about it either.

As a result, the Clippers' offense was greatly affected, and they were unable to recover and lose with hatred.

The final score was fixed at 81:75, and the Lakers won the local derby by 6 points.
