On the night of December 25, the Kings won their 25th consecutive victory of the season.
Their record is the best in the league.
Wang Yi scored 42 points and 11 rebounds in this game.
In addition to these, he blocked an exaggerated 24 shots.
When Wang Yi and James finished the courtside interview and entered the locker room, the smell of champagne filled the room.
All the players were holding champagne and swaying it freely.
25 consecutive wins at the beginning of the season is a historic achievement, and they can be a part of this achievement. How can they not be proud of it?
At the same time, both Paul and Anthony were filled with longing.
They are looking forward to their first championship.
After working hard in the league for nearly 20 seasons, both of them have won numerous honors, but they lack a championship.
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that their dream will come true by next summer.
Anthony is old, and so is Paul.
Due to the arrival of two powerful helpers in James and Paul this season, Gua's playing time has been further compressed and his condition has also declined. His scoring this season has dropped to 8.2 points.
Paul's scoring this season has also dropped to 9.4 points.
To be honest, with their self-esteem and their performance, they will never stay in the league again.
But without winning that championship, if they retire now, both of them will have lifelong regrets.
So they still have to stay on the court with a shy face and fight for their lifelong dream.
James is also secretly surprised. It is very likely that he will win the fifth championship of his career this year.
In this way, at least in terms of the number of championships, he will tie Kobe.
At the same time, its second-ranked historical position has been further consolidated.
Later, Wang Yi and James, the old and new kings, attended the press conference hand in hand.
The simultaneous appearance of the old and new king always causes a sensation among the reporters on site.
The reporter asked James: "Who do you think is the No. 1 player in the league now?"
James put his arm around Wang Yi's shoulders without hesitation: "There is no doubt that there is only one king in the league, and that is Wang Yi."
If Wang Yi was said to be the number one player in the league last year and his qualifications were not enough, then with Wang Yi's performance this year, he can definitely be called the number one player in the league.
James continued: "So far this season, Wang Yi has averaged 38.9 points, 10.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 7.0 blocks per game. No one else in the league can produce such data. So there is nothing wrong with saying that he is the first player in the league.
"
From this night on, Wang Yi became truly the number one player in the league.
It was on this night that the producers of NBA2K adjusted Wang Yi's ability values.
His ability value is now - 100.
This adjustment caused an uproar among all fans.
Because since the birth of the game 2k, there has only been one 100 ability value, and that was O'Neal at his peak.
Kobe Bryant dominated the first decade of the 21st century, and James and Curry dominated the NBA's second decade.
Of course, even so, the ability values ​​of the three of them never reached 100 points in 2k.
The ability value given to Wang Yi by 2K was 96 the year before last, and Wang Yi's ability value last year was 99. Although it was adjusted before the start of this year, it was only 99.
And tonight, after Wang Yi blocked 24 shots in a single game, his ability value has been adjusted to 100.
Grain scales
Many fans of Kobe James and Jordan expressed doubts about this and left messages on the official 2k Twitter.
"That's nonsense, Jordan didn't even get 100, why would he have 100?"
"I don't believe he is stronger than Jordan."
"LeBron should have had 100 when he was at his peak, but you didn't give it to him. Why did you give it to this Oriental?"
The official reply from 2k is:
"Wang Yi's dominance of the game this season has completely reached the level of Shaq. As long as he wants, he can take away the game in one wave at any time. He also averaged 38.9 points, 10.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 7.0 blocks per game. Such data.
No one has ever done it in history, so our rating of 100 on his ability is very objective."
At the same time, Shark O'Neal himself also personally stood up to support Wang Yi.
"Although I don't want to admit it, to be honest, his dominance on both ends of the game has exceeded Shaq's at his peak. If I were to judge, there are only two levels of player ability. One is Wang Yi
, one is the other.”
At the same time, James Curry and Jordan himself also personally stood up to support Wang Yi.
Jordan: "Wang Yi's ability value has obviously exceeded 100, but the ability score is only 100, so he can only suffer a little injustice and get 100 points."
James: "You can take a look at this year's games. If you have watched any Kings game this year, you will have no doubt about this rating. 100 points can only belittle him, not raise him."
"
Curry: "Wade called me just now and told me that he could only give Wang Yi 99.99 points at most."
As we all know, Wade never gets perfect marks.
So 99.99 is the highest score he can give.
Now that these stars themselves have come out to support Wang Yi, their fans have nothing to say.
On the second day, Wang Yi finished training early, then went to the video room and watched Doug Laimbeer's game video over and over again.
After James finished training, he came to the video room as a habit.
When he saw Wang Yi studying the video of Laimbeer's game, he was a little puzzled: "Are you studying his game? This is not necessary."
Wang Yi felt a little bored and said: "This is the only player in the league that can interest me a little bit. I have studied all the other players thoroughly."
James looked at Wang Yi's body language and his expression: "Are you starting to feel that the game is a little boring?"
Wang Yi nodded.
James said: "It is also a kind of loneliness not to be able to find an opponent."
What the two of them said happened to be overheard by Paul who came in from behind.
He rolled his eyes at the two of them.
Do you believe that I want to slap you two with a big ear-scratcher?
I've been working hard for almost 20 years, but I haven't won a championship.
The biggest dream in this life is to win a championship. It's a good thing that you two are lamenting about being invincible and lonely here.
If we don't win the championship this year, I'll kill you two.
Anthony from behind also heard the conversation between the two of them.
He didn't feel like Paul, but rather envied Wang Yi's state.
What a feeling it would be to be invincible and lonely, but it's a pity that I have never experienced it.
He has had a strong opponent since his debut - James.
Although I once defeated James in high school, I have never been able to defeat him since coming to the NBA.
Now that he is nearly 40 years old, he has gradually become a marginalized player, while James is still an unbeatable main force, and he can average more than 20 points per game.
Chapter completed!
