The Lakers left San Francisco on a plane overnight and returned to Los Angeles.
After getting off the plane and on the airport bus, coach Vogel expressed his hard work to the players and finally said: "Thank you to all the players for their efforts this year. Now everyone will go home and have a good rest. After a hard season, it's
It’s time to have a good rest, goodbye.”
Say goodbye, but how many people will actually see you again when the season starts?
After leaving the airport, the players began to go back to their homes.
Wang Yi did not return to his apartment.
Instead, take a bus directly to the UCL training facility.
The Lakers lost the tiebreaker, Wang Yi did not blame his teammates.
But he blames himself.
If I work harder and work harder, I can polish my skills to perfection.
If they score four more points, the Lakers can reach the Finals and even win the O'Brien Trophy.
So how can he rest.
What he needs to do now is to train, not rest.
What's more, after losing the game just now, even if he goes back and lies in bed, his mind will think about his failure over and over again.
That would only make himself more miserable, so he had to keep himself busy.
It was exactly 4:00 in the morning.
The security guard was still asleep when he heard a knock on the door.
He was sleepy-eyed and felt angry in his heart.
I watched the football match until about 1 o'clock in the night, and I was woken up again after less than three hours of sleep.
Moreover, he was already a little depressed when the Lakers lost, and now he was woken up by someone, so how could he not get angry.
As soon as he pushed open the window, his anger turned into Fargram oil and spewed out from his mouth.
However, when he saw the figure outside the door, he was slightly startled.
Under the dim street light, I saw a lonely figure standing in the fog.
This figure was very familiar to him.
There was no need to look at the face, he knew who it was based on the figure.
"Wang, why are you here?!"
The security guard was so surprised that his voice changed a bit.
"train."
Wang Yi said.
The security uncle was even more surprised.
Just like a few months ago, Wang Yi appeared in front of the training hall at 5:30 in the morning for the first time.
"But...but you have just played for 48 minutes, and you have been on a plane for more than two hours. Why don't you go and take a rest?"
Wang Yi did not answer, but shook his head.
Seeing this, the security uncle quickly opened the door and asked again: "Wang, if you want to rest, you can rest on my bed, although my bed is a bit messy."
Wang Yi still shook his head.
Slowly walking towards the training hall, his figure gradually melted into the thick fog under the street lights.
Seeing this, the security uncle quickly followed Wang Yi's footsteps.
When Wang Yi arrived at the training hall and waited here for more than 10 minutes, he was relieved when he was sure that Wang Yi was really just practicing.
"Then I won't disturb you."
…
At the same time, Nicole also flew back to Los Angeles on a special plane.
In fact, he has been looking for Wang Yi since the game just ended.
She called Wang Yi many times but no one answered her, and no one responded to her messages.
Later, she found out that the Lakers had flown back to Los Angeles overnight, so she quickly contacted her grandfather and flew back to Los Angeles on the family's private jet.
Afterwards, she went to Wang Yi's apartment but failed to find Wang Yi, so she called James and the coach.
Although it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning, they were still awake.
Having just experienced a failure, they all lost sleep.
When they heard that Wang Yi could not be found, they quickly called Wang Yi, but no one answered their calls or sent messages.
Nicole was very anxious and was already planning to use her family's power to find out Wang Yi's whereabouts.
But at this moment, she suddenly thought of something.
James said that Wang Yi should be analyzed and judged based on his character.
Nicole thought that with Wang Yi's character, he was probably in the training hall at this time.
So I quickly drove to the training hall.
It was already past 5 o'clock.
The security guard who had just slept was woken up again, and he was very angry.
"Aren't you going to let anyone sleep this night?"
But when he saw Nicole standing outside the window, his anger suddenly disappeared: "Nicole, you came at the right time. Wang is in the training hall. I was worried that something would happen to him. It's great that you can accompany him.
.”
Before Nicole could speak, the security guard spoke first.
"I'll take you there right now."
Nicole followed the security uncle to the training hall.
Bang - bang - bang -
As soon as I arrived at the door of the training hall, I heard the sound of basketballs hitting the ground.
Nicole's heart also trembled, as if it started beating with the sound of basketball.
When I opened the door of the training hall, I saw Wang Yi practicing shooting three-pointers on the three-point line.
Nicole saw that Wang Yi was soaked all over, and there were even drops of sweat on his hair.
Tears couldn't help but burst out of my eyes.
She wanted to persuade Wang Yi to stop practicing, but she also knew that she couldn't be persuaded.
All she could do was to accompany Wang Yi silently.
The security guard was shocked and said to Nicole: "Call me anytime if you need anything."
Then he wisely withdrew.
Wang Yi heard the movement and looked back.
He didn't speak, just turned around quickly and continued to practice shooting.
He doesn't want you to see his defeated expression.
At this moment, Nick seemed to feel Wang Yi's mood.
She was not approaching Wang Yi, but stood quietly at the far end of the court.
Silently accompanying Wang Yi.
The best comfort is companionship.
Look at this man more than 20 meters away.
Her tears slid silently down her cheeks.
Just like that, neither of them spoke.
Until the sky outside turned from dark and low to gray.
Wang Yi is still practicing three-pointers tirelessly.
Nicole didn't speak, just turned around and left the training hall silently.
Half an hour later, she came back with a breakfast.
Finally, he spoke to Wang Yi for the first time in the training hall: "Wang, it's time to have breakfast."
Bang——
Swish——
Bang——
The only answer to her was the sound of the basketball rubbing against the rim or net.
Nicole choked up again.
She understood Wang Yi's pain at this time.
But Wang Yi was in pain, and her whole world was gray.
After pausing for a moment, she said again: "Wang, you only have the strength to practice football after you have breakfast."
Bang-bang-bang bang bang bang...
This time, she was answered by the sound of a basketball bouncing on the floor.
It bounced faster and faster, fell lower and lower, and finally rolled slowly on the floor.
Wang Yi finally stopped shooting.
After another pause, he turned his head.
Came to the bench on the sidelines.
Nicole wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands and quickly opened the lunch box she brought.
Wang Yi came to him and did not look at her - in fact, Wang Yi did not dare to look at Nicole.
In Wang Yi's view, what qualifications does a failed man have to look at a perfect girl like Nicole?
I don't deserve it.
He buried his head in the lunch box and finished the meal in big gulps.
Then he quickly returned to the far end of the court and continued practicing three-pointers.
…
This practice lasted most of the day.
Until that afternoon, Wang Yi was so tired that even his fingertips had no strength at all, and he finally lay down on the floor.
Nicole quickly called the security uncle, and together with him, she helped Wang Yi to the players' lounge.
Wang Yi slept for a full 15 hours.
During these 15 hours, Nicole has been with Wang Yi.
Chapter completed!
