In the box on the fourth floor of the Encrypted Tennis Hall, Jenny Buss looked at Wang Yi who was leaving the court. She remained silent.
Next to her are Kobe's widow Vanessa and their youngest daughter Koko.
Vanessa still comes here to watch more than 10 games every season.
At this time, she was secretly surprised when she looked at Wang Yi who was leaving.
Wang Yi added a new style of play.
This guy is already a top star in the league, but he still improves every season.
It's incredible.
Then she turned to look at Jenny Buss.
From the look in Jenny Bass's eyes, she already knew what Jenny Bass was thinking now.
She was obviously remorseful.
After Wang Yi left the Lakers, she regretted it not once or twice. Every time Wang Yi came to play for the Lakers, and when Wang Yi led the Kings to win the championship, she would regret it.
Especially this summer, when Wang Yi led the Kings to two consecutive championships, she felt even more regretful.
If Wang Yi is still with the Lakers, then it is very likely that these two consecutive championships are a bluff.
And today his regret was even deeper.
Because if Wang Yi is still with the Lakers and helps the Lakers get even a championship ring, then James will not leave the Lakers this summer.
So it may not be the Kings but the Lakers who have won 15 consecutive games now.
The most important thing is that due to the departure of Wang Yi and James, the team's market value has shrunk significantly.
She has seen the financial reports of the Kings and Lakers.
Obviously, James' departure and Wang Yi's departure have caused the Lakers' stock price to fall.
According to professional assessments, the Lakers' market value has shrunk by about US$500 million this year.
And it continues to shrink.
Thinking of this, Vanessa looked at Jenny Buss.
She didn't speak, just stretched out her hand and pressed on Jenny Bass's shoulder.
Jenny Buss didn't sigh until this moment: "Oh, I was really too stupid at the time. Letting Wang Yi go is equivalent to letting James go. I let go of two gold mountains."
Vanessa shook her head at her and said, "Everyone will make many mistakes in their lives. The important thing is how we make up for it after making mistakes. Let's find a way."
Jenny Buss shook his head: "No more, all gone, we can't think of any solution anymore."
Wang Yi's contract with the Kings expires next summer.
Before this, she had contacted and communicated with many parties, hoping to let Wang Yi return to the Lakers next summer.
However, Wang Yi has no intention of returning to the Lakers.
No matter how big the benefits they promised Wang Yi, Wang Yi remained unmoved.
Because of this incident, General Manager Pelinka's hair almost turned white.
But still no clues.
Vanessa didn't know how to comfort Jeanie Buss at this time: "Well, I'll find someone to help you talk about the possibility of him returning to the Lakers."
Jenny Bass raised her head and said:
"Thank you. If he is willing to return to the Lakers, I am willing to pay no matter how high the price is."
This is like a girl losing her boyfriend of 8 years because of a 500,000 gift.
She regrets, she is upset.
She is willing to pay any price to keep her boyfriend, even without a bride price.
But the boy's heart was already cold.
His heart is cold, even if you give him a gift, he will never look back.
At this time, Kobe's youngest daughter Koko said: "Wang Yi will never come back."
Gu Yi
When the two adults heard this, they both looked at the little girl who was only 5 years old.
Koko continued: "Just like dad, if he leaves, he will never come back."
As soon as these words came out, Vanessa burst into tears.
While Jenny Buss was sad, she also fell into despair.
Children speak without restraint.
But many times what children say is the truth.
If Wang Yi was a businessman, he would definitely turn around for the sake of profit, but it is a pity that Wang Yi is not a pure businessman.
He is a man with great character. With his character, he would never return to the Lakers even if he died.
Thinking of this, Jenny Bass became more and more desperate.
At this time, in the Lakers' dugout, their coach Snyder was constantly writing and drawing on the tactical board.
Explain to the Lakers' bench how to play at the beginning of the second quarter.
As soon as the second quarter started, the Lakers' substitutes did play well. They found several high-quality substitutes this year.
Therefore, their substitute firepower ranks among the top 5 in the league.
After 4 minutes of play in the second quarter, they had already chased the point difference to only 5 points.
At this time, James and Paul both came on the stage.
The score difference did not get any closer.
The Lakers also let Wei Shao, Howard and Big Eyebrow play at the same time.
However, the cooperation between Paul and James is no longer what it was at the beginning of the season. Sometimes they still have some tacit understanding.
In the end, half of the second quarter was played, and the Kings still maintained a 7-point lead.
At this time Wang Yi came on the court, and he still acted as a central axis, constantly attracting the defense and passing the ball.
With Wang Yi, both James and Paul have been liberated to the greatest extent.
Both of them are masters of passing the ball, so the Kings' offense played very smoothly in the last period.
And because James hardly held the ball to attack in the entire first half, he only caught and shot or cut and dunked.
So he also saved a lot of physical energy.
Ever since, with 4 minutes left in the second quarter, James nodded to Paul and Wang Yi.
At the same time, they took Capela off the court and replaced him with Tucker.
In this way, the Kings' defensive intensity instantly increases, and they can use an unlimited defense strategy.
Although Westbrook's breakthrough step is very fast, facing Wang Yi's defense, his breakthrough power is greatly reduced.
Although James has been criticized for defending with his arms akimbo and hands spread out in recent years, this is because James wants to save energy and use it on the offensive end.
But today he played very relaxedly and didn't need to save energy at all, so he also exerted his intensity on the defensive end.
Not to mention Chris Paul.
He is a very competitive person and will always try his best on the defensive end.
As a result, the Lakers were defended by the Kings and only scored three points in the last 4 minutes.
On the other hand, the Lakers, while maximizing their defensive intensity, their offense still maintains fluidity.
Through the passing of these three passing masters, they ended up facing an empty basket almost every time they finished.
As a result, the Kings quickly opened up the gap. At the end of the second quarter, they already led the Lakers by 17 points.
This made every Lakers fan very happy.
This season, due to the need to run into the Big Three, the team often struggles very hard. It is rare to see them lead at halftime, let alone lead by 17 points at halftime.
If you want to say who is the most delighted, it should be Kings head coach D'Antoni.
Before, he had been worrying about how to integrate the Big Three into a whole, but today Wang Yi's style of play provided him with a new idea.
Chapter completed!
