In the Pelicans locker room, Rondo was also cheering for the players.
"I know that everyone was scared by Wang Yi's three-pointer just now. Don't deny it. You were indeed scared by Wang Yi's three-pointer. I was also scared. Under Wang Yi's three-pointer, no one is not scared.
I’m scared, that guy is too exaggerated.”
"But we have to look beyond the phenomenon to see the essence. Any player who continuously shoots three-pointers like him will consume a lot of physical energy."
"It can be seen from the last two balls that his physical fitness has indeed declined greatly. He failed to hit two three-pointers in a row, and you can see that his hand shape has changed when he shot."
"So his three-point shooting percentage will definitely decrease in the second half. At that time, our three-point shooters will suppress him. Only if our three-point shooters can suppress him can we catch up with the score difference."
All those three-point shooters were silent.
Obviously still immersed in the memory of Wang Yi's terrifying three points just now.
Seeing this, Rondo secretly shook his head.
He already had a premonition that it would be difficult to win back today's game, but as the head coach, he could not show any discouragement.
He looked at Messi and Guinness: "I heard that you just made a three-point bet with Wang Yi?"
The two men did not dare to raise their heads.
But Zion said: "Yes, I asked them to bet. We cannot lose our momentum against Wang Yi."
Rondo shook his head and said: "You have fallen into Wang Yi's trap."
The three-point shooters, Messi, Battier Jr. and Guinness all looked at Rondo in surprise.
Zion was also puzzled.
Everyone bets three points on the court fairly, what's so outrageous about this?
Rondo sighed and explained:
"No matter how accurate the three-pointers are, it will be difficult for him to suppress our team's hot three-point shooters by himself. So Wang Yi added bets to your three-pointers, and the bets became bigger and bigger. This is
To influence your mentality."
"Just imagine, is there a huge difference in psychological pressure between shooting a three-pointer without betting anything and betting $1 million to shoot a three-pointer?"
When all the three-point shooters heard this, they were all shocked.
They have indeed followed Wang Li's way.
But at this time Zion shook his head: "But betting 1 million will also have an impact on Wang Yi."
Rondo looked at Zion:
"Is that guy short of money?"
When everyone heard this, everyone fell silent.
After Wang Yi came back this year, some good people made an assessment of Wang Yi's worth.
His salary from playing in the NBA exceeds $200 million, which is just a small amount.
The venture capital company that Mitchell helped him create has been very successful in several of the projects it invested in, and Wang Yi holds a lot of shares in it. Those shares add up to more than one billion US dollars.
The more than 230 luxury properties he won through bets are worth no less than US$1.5 billion in total.
And his various endorsements can also earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
So he is not short of money at all.
Not to mention 1 million US dollars per ball, he can afford to bet 10 million US dollars per ball.
But that's not the point.
Rondo glanced at all the players and emphasized: "The point is: never gamble with a madman."
Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another.
Indeed, that guy Wang Yi is a complete lunatic.
If a normal person gambles with a madman, the probability of winning is not high?
Then Rondo said to all the players: "So in the second half, our shooters have to do only one thing, shoot every three-pointer well. Stop talking trash to Wang Yi, because you can't do it."
"Don't let any of Wang Yi's trash talk affect your emotions. All you have to do is shoot the damn three-pointer, that's all."
All the players nodded.
They are really putting the cart before the horse when they bet with Wang Yi on the court. They are here to play and win, not for so-called gambling.
The third quarter of the game between the two sides began 15 minutes later.
Jordan still raised the question: "Tracy, how do you think Wang Yi will perform in the third quarter?"
McGrady stroked his gray beard with his hand and said: "Normally speaking, a person's abnormal shooting percentage can be maintained in the first half, but it is difficult to maintain it throughout the game."
"And normally he shot so many three-pointers in the first half, which must have consumed a lot of energy, so his shooting percentage will definitely drop in the third quarter."
Jordan smiled and asked McGrady: "So, do you think his performance in the third quarter must not be as good as the first half?"
Maddie shook her head: "No, no, no, please pay attention to my wording. I am talking about normal people. But do you think this guy looks like a normal person? Or do you think this guy looks like a human being?"
Jordan laughed loudly: "You are right. Once that guy goes crazy, he will not even be a human being, let alone a normal person. So let us wait and see what he will show in the second half.
What a miraculous performance.”
After entering the third quarter, the Kings dribbled to the frontcourt.
Wang Yi used Bond's cover to reach the left corner.
Mane quickly passed the ball to Wang Yi.
Although Wang Yi faced the defense, he did not hesitate at all and directly took action.
Schroeder, who was guarding him, was too short and could not cover Wang Yi.
The basketball went over Schroeder's head and hit the basket easily.
This three-pointer shocked everyone on the Pelicans team.
Originally, in the last minute of the first half, Wang Yi missed two consecutive three-pointers, which gave them hope. They were counting on Wang Yi's three-pointers not being so accurate in the second half.
As a result, he hit a three-pointer right away, and he was still so confident and decisive when he took the shot.
Seeing this, Pelicans coach Rondo secretly sighed in his heart.
Not because Wang Yi scored a three-pointer.
It's because of Wang Yi's extreme determination and confidence when he shot this three-pointer.
He constantly emphasizes his confidence to the Pelicans' shooters, but all the shooters on the Pelicans combined are not as confident as Wang Yi.
When Wang Yi takes a shot, you feel as if he knows the ball will go in as soon as he gets the ball, as long as he takes the shot.
He had only seen this kind of confidence in Curry at his peak.
Afterwards, Rondo took a look at the four shooters on the Pelicans court and just hoped that those four shooters would not be affected by Wang Yi's exaggerated three-point touch.
In fact, the mentality of these four shooters on the Pelicans is pretty good.
After the midfield comfort, they adjusted quickly, so they also hit a three-pointer later.
And they had just hit a three-pointer, the Kings started a fast break, and Wang Yi directly advanced with the ball.
At this time, Zion was guarding the Kings' frontcourt under the basket.
But Wang Yi doesn't go to the basket.
He didn't even bother to go to the three-point line, but just passed the center line, instead of shooting directly with his open hand.
Whoosh!
Another three-pointer from the circle.

Chapter completed!
