Some of the players had eaten dumplings before, but had never made them.
So they had only a vague idea of what Wang Yi meant.
Wang Yi had to explain again. "Simply put, the five of you form a pocket. Two of you are the entrance. Once he drives in, you close that entrance quickly, and everyone else tightens the pocket too, leaving him with no passing lane and no clear view of his teammates."
All the players nodded.
When the Kings' three assistant coaches heard Wang Yi's words, they all looked surprised.
Most coaches reacted to what was happening on the court and made adjustments accordingly. Wang Yi, on the other hand, predicted what the other team would do and planned his next move in advance.
In other words, he predicted their prediction.
Only coaches with exceptional skill could do that.
Now they just had to see whether Wang Yi's prediction was right.
After the timeout, both teams returned to the court.
Sure enough, the Raptors put Beta in and took Zhang Jiacheng out.
The Kings' coaching staff exchanged smiles. Wang Yi's prediction had been spot-on.
And judging by Beta's style of play, the Kings' next prediction would likely come true as well.
They would just have to wait and see.
Once he was on the court, Beta dribbled beyond the three-point line.
Pang Bo set up on the left in the low post.
But when he did, Towns took him on defense for the Kings.
Danny was also ready to come over and double-team, so Beta didn't pass to Pang Bo.
At that moment, the Kings' players set up a 2-3 Zone Defense.
Most players on the court were highly focused.
They concentrated on what their coach had told them, and on carrying out the game plan.
