In the last 4 minutes of the game, the Kings' lead had reached 20 points.
The Grizzlies are helpless.
The coach had replaced Morant before, trying to calm him down.
He was indeed cold. After he came back on the court, his hand felt completely cold and he couldn't hit any shots.
As for being quiet, he really couldn't calm down.
The more you invest, the more popular it gets.
The hotter it gets, the harder it is to advance.
The less he scores, the more he wants to get the damn ball in!
Infinite loop.
At this time, the Kings took all the main players off the field and replaced them with substitutes. As a result, Rose and Westbrook both got the chance to play.
In the final game, the Kings defeated the Grizzlies 123:110.
Got a good start in this series.
The Grizzlies lost a home court in their own home court, so they lost their home court advantage.
For the Kings, in addition to Wang Yi's performance as strong as ever, Brother Zui also played quite well.
Wang Yi fed him a lot of balls, so Zui Ge scored 32 points today.
This is far beyond his previous level1.
This makes many Kings fans excited but also secretly worried.
"As we all know, Brother Zui is the essence of human beings with 18 points. He scored 12 points more in today's game, and he will probably score 12 points less in the next game. In short, he has to work hard to maintain the average of 18 points."
"So the next game, the Kings are on the line."
…
This matchup gives people the impression that it is a competition of passing talents between Wang Yi and Morant.
In this competition, Wang Yi is obviously better.
His passes are always passed from angles and ways that people can't imagine.
Many times you think it is not a chance at all, but he can always find the opportunity to pass the ball in a few tenths of a second and pass the ball cleverly.
Perhaps because of this, Morant's mentality changed after that, so his style of play also changed, which also led to the Grizzlies' defeat.
The most impressive thing in this game was Wang Yi's arc pass.
That was really amazing.
There is no doubt that everyone present, even if they cursed the garbage king throughout the game, when they recall this game more than ten or even decades later, they may forget all the details of the game.
But they will definitely remember that amazing arc pass.
After this game, at the post-match press conference, the question most asked by reporters was still about Wang Yi's arc pass.
A local Memphis reporter asked Wang Yi:
"Wang, we have all seen your amazing arc pass. It is indeed pleasing to the eye and addictive. But as a professional player, before passing the ball, don't you know the ball?"
Is it a foul ball?"
Then he added:
"We all know that you have used curve passes in the All-Star Game before. However, the All-Star Game is a performance after all, used to entertain the audience. Some violations of the rules, the referee turned a blind eye.
That’s okay.”
"But this is a real playoff game, and the referees won't be as lenient as they were in the All-Star Game. Don't you really know that this ball is a violation?"
Wang Yi looked at the reporter from Memphis: "Obviously you want to stir up trouble, but it doesn't matter, I can answer your question."
"Of course I know it is against the law to hit the ball with my fists, but I just want to use it on the court. I just want to tell people that the times are constantly developing, and basketball is also constantly developing and improving, so the rules of basketball should also be
Comply with the times and the development of basketball."
"I don't know why it was forbidden to hit basketball with fists in the past, but it is obvious that in this era, hitting basketball with fists can greatly improve the viewing experience of basketball, which has a positive effect on the development of basketball."
"So I think the league should consider abolishing this rule."
Wang Yi spoke from a frontal view, and it looked like he was speaking to Xiao Hua.
The Memphis reporter saw a question that failed to stump Wang Yi, but instead made Wang Yi feel a bit pretentious, which made him feel a little unhappy.
So he simply asked a second question:
"But some people will say that you are just quibbling. You didn't know the rules of basketball before. As a basketball superstar, the owner of three regular season MVPs, four finals MVPs and four championships, you have
Isn’t it a little ridiculous that you don’t know such rules?”
Wang Yi stared at the reporter with burning eyes.
"Does anyone think? Why do I have to care about other people's opinions? You reporters, what bothers me the most is that you spend all your time talking about other people, who the hell are you!"
The reporter's face now looked like pig liver.
But the other reporters were all excited.
Wang Yi’s remarks can help them reap another wave of traffic.
At this time, a reporter went on to say: "There is a view in the West that the physical fitness of Eastern people is generally inferior to that of the West. Even if there are occasional Eastern players who can perform brilliantly, they will just disappear as quickly as a shooting star.
Just like Yao Ming in the past, Jeremy Lin in the past..."
Wang Yi didn't wait for the reporter to finish speaking and interrupted him directly: "I never care about the views of the West."
This sentence is really domineering and arrogant.
The reporter immediately swallowed the rest of his words and looked a little embarrassed.
In the end, this press conference once again ended in Wang Yi's verbal battle.
Every time I go to those away games, especially in the playoffs, I will face all kinds of difficult and tricky problems.
If Wang Yi is in a good mood, he may say something outrageous.
But if Wang Yi doesn't want to say anything, then he will reply to the reporter, and the reporter will have to shut himself up on the spot.
When Wang Yi walked out of the media room, An Jiali was already waiting for him there.
With a smile on her face, she put on Wang Yi's coat, and then said: "You were so right with that reporter just now. I just find these reporters very unhappy. They always ask all kinds of tricky and weird questions, making things difficult for me."
Players, if you can quarrel with them, it will also make the players feel bad."
Wang Yi smiled and shook his head:
"Actually, I also understand that they are just doing it for traffic and to make a living, but I just don't like it. It's okay for them to eat once or twice just to make a living. If they make things difficult for me every time they see me, you say I'm asking for trouble.
Don’t you hate them?”
An Jiali smiled brightly and asked Wang Yi: "Then do you hate me?"
"Well……"
Wang Yi was a little speechless: "Why does it involve you?"
An Jiali raised her head and asked Wang Yi: "I just want to know if you hate me?"
Wang Yi shook his head: "It shouldn't be that annoying."
An Jiali rolled her eyes at Wang Yi: "I can't even say a nice word. I really don't understand that so many girls like a guy like you."
