The Point Guard, Wang Yi

The Point Guard, Wang Yi

De'Anthony's specialty was building a system around a point guard.

When he coached the Suns, Nash had been the centerpiece.

In New York, he had discovered Jeremy Lin.

And with the Rockets, he had turned James Harden from a shooting guard into a point guard, making the Rockets a team capable of challenging the Warriors at their peak.

After Anthony said that, he kept his eyes on Wang Yi, waiting for his reaction.

Although he had decided that Wang Yi should play point guard, he still needed Wang Yi's agreement.

Wang Yi pondered for a moment.

Although the training he'd received through the system had improved his court vision and passing ability to some extent,

the system had still primarily been developing him as a shooting guard.

If he started playing point guard now, would that run counter to the system's plans?

And if it did, what would happen?

Wang Yi wasn't sure.

But after pondering for about five seconds, he looked De'Anthony in the eye.

"No problem."

If they wanted him to play point guard, then he'd play point guard.

It wasn't as if he'd never done it before.

Although the system had focused on developing him as a shooting guard, it had occasionally given him Point Guard Experience Cards.

The cards couldn't permanently grant him the skills and court vision of a point guard.

But after those few stints at the position, he'd gained some experience running the offense.

And after hearing De'Anthony's explanation, he understood the Kings' current predicament.

The Kings simply didn't have anyone who could run the offense.

In the first five games, Walton had benched Hield. To test whether a defensive lineup could work, he'd put Beverley, who was better on defense, in as the starting point guard.
