Since tonight's opponent, the Thunder, has the last record in the Western Conference this season and has already missed the playoffs early, it can be said that their strength is quite poor. Everyone in the team believes that tonight's game will be easy.
Therefore, there is no training scheduled for today.
But at 10 o'clock, Danny and Ross still came, and they planned to conduct some simple personal training.
When Danny and Ross saw that Wang Yi was already sweating profusely, they looked at each other and were secretly speechless.
Wang Yi has just come back and has been practicing too hard.
When they learned that Wang Yi finished practicing at 11 o'clock last night and got up to practice again at around 6 o'clock this morning, they were even more surprised.
Ross knew that with a character like Wang Yi's, it was useless to persuade him, so he simply did not try to persuade him.
If Wang Yi practices like this, he will suffer losses on the court sooner or later. Once he suffers a loss, he will know that he has to balance work and rest.
Danny glanced at Mitchell. Although he didn't say anything, he was obviously asking and blaming.
Mitchell shrugged: "You have all seen that the boss has been practicing for several hours, and he is still very motivated. I think the boss has his own sense of control, so there is no need to worry about him."
After he said this, Danny didn't say anything else and went to practice his three-point shooting.
Finally, the time came to 7pm.
Each team sent players to attend the pre-match press conference.
The Thunder have been at the bottom of the league for the past four or five consecutive years, so their draft picks have been at the top every year.
We have accumulated many rookies with outstanding talents.
It's just that these newcomers with outstanding talents are too young, so they are prone to making many mistakes.
Furthermore, they did not have a good coach to bring them together as a whole, so their record was at the bottom year after year.
These newcomers are not as arrogant as ordinary young people, and they behave very low-key at press conferences.
After all, I don’t have any impressive results, and I don’t speak forcefully.
The Kings have inherited Wang Yi's style. If the opponent speaks harshly, then my words will be harsher than yours. If the opponent does not speak harshly, then I will be very low-key.
Therefore, several Kings players also spoke in a low-key manner when being interviewed.
However, a young man like Turs inevitably looks down upon his opponent in his demeanor and tone.
In fact, it’s no wonder Turs and the others.
No matter who encounters such a Thunder team, even if they say no, they will more or less despise them subconsciously.
When he returned to the locker room to prepare for the game, Wang Yi clapped his hands and reminded the players: "They are young and energetic, and everyone has good personal talents. Their only shortcoming is that they make too many mistakes and are prone to mistakes.
I haven’t met a good coach to bring them together as a whole.”
"So we can't underestimate them tonight."
Veterans like Rose naturally agree with Wang Yi's words.
Danny also agreed with Wang Yi's words.
In addition, the team has a young substitute player named Mane, who regards Wang Yi as his idol.
Of course he also agrees with his idol.
But Tours said he promised, but in his heart he was a little dissatisfied.
As for Charles Bond, he is also a young man and he doesn't agree with it.
Several other young substitutes on the team even disagreed with Wang Yi's words.
You're a guy with a big belly, and you just came back for the second game and you want to teach us a lesson?
Let's improve your physical fitness first, old guy.
How could Wang Yi not know what they were thinking?
He has also been the boss for 4 years, so he knows very well about these players.
It's like when you were a kid in class, you put your hands under the table and made a lot of small movements, thinking that the teacher didn't know.
But if you grow up and become a teacher and go to the podium, you will find that standing on the podium, you can clearly see what little tricks the students below are doing.
However, Wang Yi is just seeing through it now without saying anything about it.
If you want these guys to convince you, you must first show your strength on the court.
As soon as I came back, both the team and myself had many problems that needed to be solved, and the fundamental reason for solving all these problems was that I had to perform convincingly.
At 8:00 p.m., players from both sides entered the stadium.
As before, the team once again used "Knife Club Overture" as the entrance BGM.
Wang Yi originally wanted Danny to appear last.
After all, in the more than two years since he left the team, Danny has almost always supported the team.
No matter how strong Wang Yi was on the court in the past, but with the mentality of these young players now, Danny is the one who has led them through these difficult two years.
Not Wang Yi.
However, Danny insisted that Wang Yi appear last.
Wang Yi no longer refused.
At the same time, this also put new pressure on him, requiring him to perform in a short period of time to convince everyone.
So with the blessing of the background music of "God of Gamblers", Wang Yi appeared.
After the decisive victory in the last game, when Wang Yi appeared on the stage tonight, the audience stood up and applauded.
17,500 spectators applaud and cheer for you. What kind of scene is that?
When everything around you falls into darkness, the spotlight above your head shines down.
In the surrounding darkness, amid the cheers of 17,500 spectators.
Wang Yi's blood seemed to boil again.
This is his stage, this is his life.
After living a leisurely life for more than two years, he seemed free and at ease, but deep down, he was also held back for more than two years.
He wanted to vent all the resentment he had accumulated over the past two years tonight.
Before the game started, Thunder coach Mark told the Thunder players how to play tonight.
"Are the Kings strong now? Not very strong. Is their team configuration good? No, it is far worse than our configuration. The reason why they are ranked 8th in the Western Conference is just because they dare to fight and fight hard.
That spirit of never giving up.”
"Although Wang Yi is back now, his physical fitness is a huge problem, so now we only need to continue to consume Wang Yi."
"He will have physical problems within a short period of time."
"When he has physical problems, then it's time for us to attack."
"Wang Yi wants to stage the return of the king, and one game is not enough for him."
"He thought we were weak, so he wanted to use our game to continue his comeback."
"Can we be a stepping stone to his return as king?"
Those players were all young players. When they heard this, their blood surged up and they roared angrily:
"no!"
Head coach Mark continued to stimulate them:
"If we are regarded as a stepping stone to success by a guy who can't even finish half a race and still has a big belly, then wouldn't we be a huge failure and we will be treated as a laughing stock."
"Do you want to be the butt of a joke?"
"No!"
13 young players roared in unison.
The head coach continued to roar: "So not only can we not be treated as a stepping stone by him, but we must trample him under our feet. Not only can we not be treated as a joke, but we must let him be treated as a joke!"
"So we must win this game tonight!"
"Take it!"
The roars of 13 young people seemed to pierce the dome of the Golden No. 1 Center.
