When the female assistant coach saw Sanders's appearance, her heart went cold.
After so many years of training, Coach Sanders's playing style has become more and more calm.
In the past two seasons, the Timberwolves may not be able to win against strong teams, but they will definitely not fall into trouble when playing against teams that are weaker than them.
Especially when he is on the sidelines, he always sits firmly on the bench, looking like he has everything in hand, which makes people feel very at ease.
The overall strength of the Kings is obviously weaker than that of the Timberwolves, so it stands to reason that Coach Sanders will definitely win.
But seeing how anxious he looked today, this was the first time he had seen this female assistant coach in the past two years.
The reason why Sanders was so anxious at this time was not because he was 32 points behind, but because the team's morale and the fighting spirit of the two main players had been destroyed by Wang Yi.
If a team wants to win, the most important thing is fighting spirit and morale.
Without these two things, even if you are first in the league, it will be difficult to defeat a highly motivated team ranked last in the league.
Faced with such a cruel reality at this time, nothing he said would help.
Trailing by 32 points at halftime, Wang Yi set a scoring record since his comeback.
This is embarrassing enough.
So now he can only say to the players:
"You have done a very good job in the first half, but their success rate is too high, and Wang Yi is in great shape, but as I said, they cannot maintain such a high success rate throughout the game, and Wang Yi
You just saw Yi's physical fitness. After he hit the three-pointer from the backcourt, he rested with his hands on his knees, which shows that his physical fitness is almost exhausted."
"Then in the second half, even if his physical fitness has recovered, he can't recover much. So as long as we can hold on for the first 5 minutes in the second half, the rest of the game will be ours."
However, when he said these words, none of the players had any reaction at all.
Especially as the boss, Downs didn't even respond.
Coach Sanders was a little helpless. He combed his long back hair back with his right hand.
Through his motivation, none of the players had the slightest reaction.
The 40% chance of winning he had just now dropped to less than 10%.
If the Timberwolves want to win, unless the Kings make extremely serious mistakes in the second half.
Otherwise they are doomed.
At this time, Wang Yi returned to the locker room, lay down directly on the physiotherapy bed, and asked the physiotherapist Bai Yin to give him physiotherapy to relieve muscle fatigue.
Although he has a physical fitness card, the physical fitness card can only be used for 12 minutes, so he can save as much as possible if he can use the physical fitness card in the second half.
After 15 minutes of rest and physical therapy massage, Wang Yi felt that his already stiff muscles had relaxed a little.
Although Bai Yin has never been a physical therapist for athletes before, he still has extensive research in using traditional Chinese medicine to help the human body recover.
And she is very attentive and will notice many details that ordinary doctors will ignore.
Therefore, Wang Yi was very relieved to have her provide recovery treatment for Wang Yi.
At this time, Wang Yi's physical fitness had recovered a little.
However, he took the initiative to ask the coach:
"Coach, until the point difference is not narrowed, I will not play for the time being. Let me rest for a few more minutes."
D'Antoni was very pleased to hear this.
He has been Wang Yi's head coach for more than three years, and this is the first time he has heard Wang Yi take the initiative to ask for a break.
In view of Wang Yi's physical condition, he is not afraid that Wang Yi will take the initiative to ask for a rest, but he is afraid that Wang Yi will not rest.
Hearing Wang Yi's words at this time, he nodded: "Of course, rest is a good thing. Rest is to perform better on the court when you are needed."
At this time, the players from both sides appeared again.
When Coach Sanders saw that the Kings did not send Wang Yi, he knew that Wang Yi must have a serious physical problem.
So he clapped his hands to encourage the players and told them to perform well.
However, the players seemed to have completely lost their fighting spirit. In the third quarter, they were sleepwalking on the court.
Whether it is Towns or Hua Zi, their movement on the court is a mess, and they cannot hit when they are open.
There were even situations where two people collided while running.
So although the Kings did not have Wang Yi in the third quarter and their offense was average, due to their huge lead, the Kings gained momentum and they played in an orderly manner.
Tours, in particular, dunked three times on Towns' head.
In the end, after the third quarter, the score difference had widened to 40 points.
At this point, it can be said that the game has completely lost its suspense.
No one can recover a huge 40-point deficit in the fourth quarter after falling behind by 40 points in three quarters.
If there is, it can only be Wang Yi.
When Wang Yi lost all suspense in the third quarter, he returned to the locker room early for physical therapy and recovery.
At the end of the game, the Kings beat the Timberwolves with a 132:97, 35-point advantage.
Thus advancing to the playoffs.
At the end of the game, Towns and Hua Zi were both a little lost.
They originally had great ambitions to make the playoffs.
In the first play-off game, they also defeated their opponent by a large score. However, they did not expect to encounter a Kings team that was obviously inferior to them, but they achieved such a result.
This was simply unacceptable to both of them.
In despair, both of them went directly into the locker room without saying goodbye to the Kings players.
Generally speaking, if you don't communicate with the opponent after the game, you will be criticized by many people, saying that you have no professionalism and no quality.
But at this time, these two people were not in the mood to take care of this at all.
At the post-game press conference, Towns and Edwards also directly refused to attend the press conference, despite the threat of being fined.
For the Kings, Wang Yi refused to attend the press conference, citing physical discomfort.
In the end, such a game that shocked everyone ended badly.
Anticlimactic.
Xiao Hua was certainly not satisfied with this.
It seems like we need to give those players a try when we find an opportunity.
In an NBA game, the game is the main meal, and the press conference before the game is the fruit before the meal.
The post-game press conference is dessert.
If there is only a main meal, without fruits before the meal and dessert after the meal, it will lose some flavor and make NBA less attractive.
Now that Wang Yi has finally come back, the attention of the NBA has increased a lot than before. We cannot let the attention drop again because of such trivial matters.
But the important thing at this time is not to beat these players, but to convene a very important meeting with NBA executives.
Ever since, Xiao Hua directly sent a message to his assistant: "Convene all NBA senior officials to have a meeting at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."
The content of this meeting is about Wang Yi.
There will definitely be a lot of debate in this meeting, but Xiao Hua has already decided the outcome of this meeting.
Now that he has decided on the outcome, the next thing he wants to think about is how to convince the NBA executives at the meeting.

Chapter completed!
