Players began to arrive at 3 p.m.
When they saw that Wang Yi had been training for a long time and was sweating profusely, they all secretly admired him.
The only one among them who expressed indifference to Wang Yi's hard training was center Bond.
This is a job to make a living, just make it passable, why bother working so hard.
Although Wang Yi is training, he is also secretly observing these new players.
Some of the new players' substitutes are obviously dissatisfied with Wang Yi.
Wang Yi doesn't really care about this. After all, his current physical condition can only last the first half, and he may not be able to last the first half. It's not surprising that these players are dissatisfied with him.
As long as his condition recovers, he will teach these players how to behave in minutes.
The only difficulty here is Bond.
He does not have the passion and blood that young people have.
In fact, he has other interests and hobbies, and basketball is just a profession for him to make a living.
It is said that his hobby is writing and his ideal is to be a writer.
It's just that because of his great physical talent, he was recruited into the school team when he was in high school.
As a result, he made it to the NBA just by playing casually.
This is the gap between people. Some people work hard all their lives and cannot enter the NBA.
Some people don't want to play basketball, but they end up playing in the NBA casually.
According to the information Mitchell learned, Bond planned to play for a few years and make enough money before retiring to travel around the world and become a writer.
So this guy is not that concerned about the game.
Therefore, this guy is the biggest problem facing the Kings now.
Wang Yi is no longer at his peak. At his peak, he could win the championship by himself with a group of inferior players, but that's not possible now.
His physical condition and competitive state do not allow it, so if he wants to win the championship, the entire team needs to unite, everyone thinks in the same place, and works hard in the same place.
If there is even one player like Bond in the middle, it will be difficult for the team to reach a higher level.
So Wang Yi had to find a way.
Get that Bond straightened out.
Of course, the premise is that Wang Yi himself plays a high-level game, so that his words will be more convincing.
So everything has returned to its original point, which is that now he must train hard, and he must work extremely hard.
When the training lasted until about 5 p.m., the other players had already left one after another. After all, the training now only lasted two hours.
Only the four starters Wang Yi, Rose, Danny and Tours are still there.
At this time, head coach D'Antoni called Wang Yi over before leaving: "Wang, I want to discuss something with you."
"Coach, tell me."
D'Antoni said: "I have discussed with several assistant coaches and plan to let you play as a substitute in the next games."
Wang Yi said nothing and waited for the coach to continue.
D'Antoni explained to Wang Yi: "We don't doubt that you will definitely be able to return to your peak level, but before you return to your peak level, your physical condition is now a big problem, and the most important thing is your physical fitness. Your physical fitness
The problem simply doesn’t support you playing the whole game, or even half the game.”
"If you are as tired as you were last night every game, you will be very vulnerable to injury."
"So until your physical problem is solved, we plan to let you play as a substitute. This way, when you face the opponent's substitute players, your pressure will be much less and your physical energy consumption will be much less."
"And if you play as a substitute, you don't have to play as long as the main players. I will temporarily set your playing time to 15 minutes, and then slowly extend it. I hope that when the playoffs come, your playing time will be longer.
It can take up to 25 minutes.”
"Your competitive state requires a recovery process. When you play less time, your physical fitness problems are not so big, and it will be easier to maintain your competitive state."
"So Wang, we think you should come on the bench."
Then D'Antoni explained: "Of course, this still depends on your opinion. If you think your competitive level can be a starter, then follow your wishes."
Wang Yi is the team's biggest star. To put it bluntly, even if the team immediately opens D'Antoni, it is impossible for them to open Wang Yi.
Therefore, when D'Antoni makes these decisions, he still needs Wang Yi's opinion.
Wang Yi smiled: "Coach, your worries are unnecessary. You don't have to worry about my unwillingness to come on the bench. As long as it is beneficial to my recovery, as long as it is beneficial to the team, if I am asked to come on the bench, I will do so. As long as it is beneficial to my recovery, I will be a substitute."
As long as I can play, don't let me sit on the bench for the whole game, that would be the most uncomfortable."
D'Antoni touched his mustache:
"Then it's settled. Also, let me remind you, although you have to restore your physical condition as soon as possible, don't work too hard. If you train too hard, you will hurt yourself. And you
If you consume too much physical energy on the training ground, you won’t have enough physical energy to cope with it on the playing field.”
Wang Yi nodded: "I understand, coach."
D'Antoni continued:
"The next game is against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is at the bottom of the Western Conference. The intensity of the game should not be high, which will be very helpful for you to restore your game state."
Wang Yi nodded: "I understand."
After practicing for another two hours, Rose also left, and in order to save Wang Yi time, Mitchell directly brought his afternoon meal to the arena.
While Wang Yi was eating, he was studying the information about the Thunder players.
In fact, Wang Yi is not familiar with Thunder players.
When he retired, he actually thought that one day he would have to give.
Some people have said that since you are determined to come back, you should at least do some training and maintain physical condition when you retire, so that when you come back, you can seamlessly enter the dominance mode.
But they don't know that Wang Yi is a challenge to himself.
Why did he retire then?
He retired just because he couldn't find an opponent. If he went straight into dominance mode as soon as he came back and couldn't find an opponent, wouldn't it be just as boring as before? What's the point of retiring?
So this is also equivalent to a challenge Wang Yi gave himself.
Challenge yourself to see if you can recover from a passerby to your peak condition.
Challenge how fast you can go from passerby to peak condition.
Therefore, Wang Yi did not train and maintain physical condition when he retired.
And I didn’t deliberately get to know those players in the NBA. Even if I knew a little bit, I only learned about them by watching their games, and I didn’t know anything else.
Therefore, it can be said that Wang Yi made a comeback in such a state because he artificially made it more difficult for himself.
As the saying goes, if there is difficulty, you must rise. If there is no difficulty, you must rise to create difficulty.
That's probably true.
