Snyder took the stat sheet and glanced at it.
When he saw that glaring 0, he froze.
It felt like he'd been struck by lightning.
Zero points in the paint!

No matter how strong a team's outside shooting was, it couldn't win if it couldn't score near the basket.
Of course, he realized it wasn't that the Lakers' inside offense was terrible. It was that Wang Yi's defense in the paint was simply too strong.
Whether guarding his man or helping out, that guy's defensive range covered the entire paint.
But no matter how strong Wang Yi's defense was, they still had to attack the basket. After all, the closer you got to the rim, the higher your shooting percentage. At the same time, since Wang Yi was protecting the paint, the Lakers had to step up their outside attack.
After all, with Wang Yi guarding the paint, it was hard for him to cover the area beyond the three-point line.
And if they started hitting their threes, Wang Yi wouldn't dare keep camping in the paint.
That was how basketball worked: doing one thing well could create a positive feedback loop, while doing one thing poorly could send you into a vicious cycle.
At the same time, while Snyder stressed attacking the basket, he also had to keep reassuring their star, Arthur.

He had to step up his offense in the fourth.
Otherwise, with only Thick Eyebrows' threes and Hield's twos, it would be very hard for them to beat the Kings.
The truth was, all of Snyder's adjustments at this point amounted
