Regarding this question, Wang Yi's answer in the past has been, "This is every player's team, this is the fans' team."
This is a very emotionally intelligent answer.
The team's biggest taboo is internal strife.
If there is internal strife in the team, no matter how strong the individual players are, they will not be able to achieve the desired results on the court.
Therefore, Wang Yi cannot speak openly about such a sensitive matter.
But this time, James, who was next to Wang Yi, answered:
"You have also seen that this has been Wang Yi's team in the past two years. He has become the soul of this team and is unshakable. So even if a big-name superstar comes to the Kings, this is still the King's team.
Yi’s team, this fact cannot be changed.”
James, this guy, has always been very shrewd.
At this time, Paul who was next to him also came over: "Of course, this is Wang Yi's team."
Today Paul has also learned a lot.
In the summer of 2021, the Suns have a very good chance of winning the championship.
We played well in the first two games.
But by the third game, he began to have the idea of ​​competing for FMVP.
Don't pass the ball to Booker at critical moments on the court, just do it yourself.
It was from that moment on that the team began to go downhill. In the end, not only did he fail to win the MVP, but he also lost the championship he had been dreaming of for nearly 20 years.
So since he decided to come to the Kings, he has warned himself: Don't have any selfish motives anymore. He will sacrifice anything for this championship ring.
Now money is not that important to him, and any other honors are not that important to him. The only thing he wants is to get a championship ring as a main player before retiring.
On the sidelines, team general manager Divac finally felt relieved when he saw James and Paul saying that this was Wang Yi's team.
What he was most worried about before was that after these two people arrived, they would want to compete for the position of the team boss.
Now it seems there is nothing to worry about at this point.
But there is another point that he is more worried about, and that is the distribution of ball rights between Wang Yi and James Paul.
That is the problem of running-in.
But this needs to be tested slowly over a long season.
Explore slowly.
There is no hurry.
Within the next two weeks, the team played preseason games.
Generally speaking, the team's main players and veterans will not participate in the preseason. The preseason is an opportunity for the substitute players to show off. However, in order to run in as early as possible, Paul, Wang Yi and James, they play every season.
Participated in all pre-games.
The Kings played a total of 8 games in the preseason.
These 8 games have greatly disappointed all Kings fans, Wang Yi fans and James Paul fans.
Because in these 8 games, the Kings have 1 win and 7 losses.
Moreover, the opponents the Kings have lost in these eight games are not too strong.
Lost to the Timberwolves, lost to the Rockets, lost to the New York Knicks, lost to the Spurs.
You know, these are all teams that didn't even make it to the playoffs last season.
I thought that the Kings would become a galactic battleship when the four giants combined, but I never expected that the Kings would turn out like this.
Judging from the performance on the court, Wang Yi, Paul and James did make the same mistakes as analyzed by many experts. The three of them were too greedy for the ball. Everyone can perform their best when they have the ball in their hands.
power.
Guli
Wang Yi can also play without the ball, after all, he is a player who started his career by relying on 3D.
But having James and Paul play without the ball is really uncomfortable for them. After all, they have rarely played without the ball in their entire careers.
Kings coach D'Antoni is also very worried.
He tried 8 games, but he still couldn't figure out how to perfectly combine these three people to form a combat-effective whole.
This made the entire Kings team feel unhappy.
There is a lot of criticism of the Kings from the outside world.
Some people criticize Wang Yi, James and Paul as being too selfish;
Some people criticize D'Antoni for not being able to arrange players. With three such good players, it is impossible to combine them into a whole.
The biggest Yihei Smith jumped out again.
"Whether judging from the pre-game analysis or their performance in the game, 111 will never be greater than 3, or even equal to three. They proved that 111 is approximately equal to 1."
"Wang Yi James and Paul are both players who need the ball in their hands to play their biggest role. The three of them are used to playing with the ball, but they are not used to playing without the ball. It can also be said that the three of them play too selfishly.
"
"So I assert that if the Kings want to achieve results this season, they still have a long way to go. They need at least 15 to 30 games of running-in. But I am not optimistic about their running-in at all."
"Their combination will probably become the most expensive joke in history."
It is against this background that the first regular season game of the new season finally arrives.
Wang Yi, James and Paul all arrived at the arena three hours in advance for training.
In the locker room before the game, Wang Yi saw that all the players were not in high spirits.
Before James even started playing the game, he was already biting his nails.
Paul's face was gloomy and he seemed to be working very hard even when tying his shoelaces.
For a player with such a strong competitive spirit like him, 1 win and 7 losses is unbearable.
Head coach D'Antoni stared at the tactical board in a daze.
As for other players, they all pay attention to Wang Yi.
These old players all know that in the past when the team was in trouble, the boss would always stand up.
At this time, to the surprise of all the players, a smile appeared on Wang Yi's face.
Everyone is wondering: What is the boss laughing about? After losing so many games in the preseason, is he still in the mood to laugh?
Ke Jian clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention.
Then he said to them: "Okay, the first regular season game of the new season has officially started. We showed weakness to the league before, making them think we are soft persimmons, making them think we are easy to pinch. So for the first game of the new season,
We are going to show our true strength and slap everyone in the face!"
When all the players heard this, they looked at Wang Yi even more surprised.
The boss said those previous preseason games were just to show weakness to the league?
Just to numb them?
James also looked at Wang Yi in surprise.
In fact, he knew that Wang Yi was not showing weakness at all, but that the three of them had gone all out on the field, but they were unable to achieve the desired results.
But now Wang Yi says this, which is obviously just to arouse the team's emotions.
Old gunman Paul has a deep scheming mind. How could he not know what Wang Yi meant?
Chapter completed!
