With Wang Yi's ankle injury as it was, if he got double-teamed, all he could do was pass the ball.
That meant the two teams would have to compete on offense from here on out.
The offensive firepower of the Raptors' other four players was clearly far inferior to that of the Celtics' Big Four.
This was tough.
Wang Yi asked, "If they double-team me, Coach, how can we break out of that situation?"
Wang Yi was now considering the problem from a coach's perspective.
To a coach, every game was like a chess match.
Before the game, you had to anticipate what moves the opponent might make and how you would respond;
what moves you would make and how the opponent would respond.
And during the game, you had to react to each move as it came.
The best coaches didn't just react to each move, either. They also anticipated what the opponent would do and made their preparations in advance.
An excellent coach was often like an excellent rider.
Before taking each step, they had already thought several steps ahead.
Coach Dako frowned and shook his head.
If the opponent double-teamed Wang Yi again, he couldn't think of any way to break through it.
But when he saw Wang Yi's expression, he knew Wang Yi already had a plan.
Nash and Gao Feng had also frowned at first, unable to think of a solution. But when they saw Wang Yi's expression, they too realized he had a plan.
"Wang, you've got a solution, don't you?"
Wang Yi smiled and nodded, then laid out his solution.
When he finished, all three coaches' eyes lit up.
Wang Yi continued, "This tactic requires the ball handler to be a very good passer, though, so Jiacheng will have to go in."
