Many players did not listen to Wang Yi's words.
The result was that they lost the game after returning to Sacramento for the third game.
In the first quarter, Bobo saw that Wang Yi was not in such a hot state today, so in the second quarter, they decisively used a pick-and-roll style of play with their center and two guards.
Their style of play is actually very rich. The two guards can pick and roll each other, the point guard can pick and roll with the center, and the shooting guard can also pick and roll with the center.
As soon as these changes came out, the disadvantages of the Kings' lineup were completely exposed.
Even though the Kings let Doug play later, in addition to these three people, the Spurs' other two players were also very hot today.
In fact, it's not that they are hot, but that the Kings' lineup is too disadvantaged and their defense is not in place, allowing them to get many open three-point opportunities.
Eventually they developed their touch.
In the end, the Kings lost Game 3 99:101.
The big score came to 2:1.
When they got here, the young players of the Kings were not alerted by this, but instead took it lightly.
In their view, the Kings won the first two games by huge margins.
Although they lost in Game 3, they only lost by 4 points. If the Kings were not unlucky in the last minute and missed three consecutive shots, the Kings would still have a chance to win.
Therefore, they still don't take the Spurs seriously.
In addition, the Kings' lineup is really not good.
It is even more difficult to move forward when encountering the veteran Popovich.
In the final game 4, the Kings lost 95:117 by 22 points.
At this point, the young players of the Kings finally woke up.
After the game they sat in the locker room without saying a word.
No one went to take a shower or change clothes.
Everyone was silent, and the air in the locker room seemed to have solidified.
All of them lowered their heads and said nothing.
The post-match press conference from both sides was still playing on the screen in the locker room.
At the press conference, Popovich still praised Wang Yi of the Kings in a fancy way, but he still said nothing about the Kings and other players and coaches.
This time, the players did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Because their performance in this game was really bad.
Wang Yi scored a triple-double with 40 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in this game.
As the team's first scoring point, you can't ask for anything better from him.
As for the other players, except for Danny who scored 22 points and Rose who scored 13 points, none of them reached double figures.
There is no need for the head coach to criticize them at this time, as each of their low chins can be poked into their cavity.
When the Spurs finished the interview, Wang Yi entered the media room.
Only Wang Yi came to the press conference today.
Christian, a reporter from the San Antonio Express-News, asked Wang Yi:
"Wang, congratulations on winning 403 pairs."
Wang Yi showed no interest and shook his head:
"If I can't win, even if I get 803 pairs, it doesn't mean anything to me."
The reporter then asked:
"We can all see in today's game that you have tried your best. But your teammates, especially the young players, made too many mistakes on the court and were not very active in defense, which ultimately led to the loss.
As the leader of the team, how will you communicate with them after the game?"
When Wang Yi heard this, he looked at the reporter with burning eyes.
This reporter obviously didn't have any good intentions.
There seems to be nothing wrong with what he said. The team did end up ruining the game because the young players made too many mistakes and were not active on the defensive end.
But in front of so many people, and millions of fans are watching the post-match press conference, asking this under such circumstances is digging a hole for Wang Yi.
If Wang Yi answers according to his words, it will be an endorsement of his statement.
In front of so many people, it will make those young players feel uncomfortable if they think that their mistakes ruined the game.
It will create a gap between them and Wang Yi.
People's hearts are easily distracted.
If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team.
So Wang Yi stared at the reporter carefully for a moment. When he saw the reporter lowering his head in embarrassment, Wang Yi replied:
"I think there is something wrong with your understanding. As the leader of a team, it is your duty to lead the team to win the game. If I failed to lead the team to win the game, that is because I did not fulfill my duty. It is my problem.
"
"I am here to say sorry to the fans who love and support me."
"As for communication, I think you should have seen that we visited the Natural Bridge Caverns in San Antonio and went to eat at their famous restaurant together. This is how we communicate. There is no communication problem between us Kings players. I think most of them
Most teams would be envious of the way we communicate."
Wang Yi's answer made the king's public relations staff at the scene nod secretly.
This answer is really watertight, leaving no opportunity for those reporters to take advantage of.
Meanwhile, in the Kings locker room.
When the players heard that Wang Yi took all the responsibilities by himself, each of them felt even more ashamed.
They all lowered their heads and said nothing.
As the head coach, D'Antoni originally wanted to teach the players a lesson after the game, especially the young players, but when he saw this, he gave up the idea.
It seems that he doesn't need any reprimands from now on.
Of course, these players cannot continue to be ashamed and do nothing.
But if he wants to revive these players, he is not suitable as a head coach. A player must stand up.
Sure enough, at this time, the old Rose looked up at the head coach, and then he looked down at the young players who all had their heads lowered and said nothing.
Then he said: "Everyone has seen that Wang Yi has shouldered everything by himself. Will we feel ashamed in our hearts? But is it useful to be ashamed?"
Finally, Bond raised his head and looked at Ross.
Several other young players also looked up at Rose.
Ross continued at this time: "It's useless to be ashamed. Next, we have to show our determination with practical actions."
"Train hard these two days and try your best to come back in the next game! Don't let Wang Yi bear all our mistakes by himself again."
When everyone heard this, they all stared at Ross.
I saw that the expression on Rose's already slightly older face was so resolute, and his eyes were so firm.
In the end, everyone made up their minds and made up their minds.
I must get it back in the next game no matter what.
At this time, Wang Yi was walking here after holding a press conference.
He no longer had to think about it to know how ashamed these players were at this moment.
He also knows that these players will turn shame into motivation and work hard to play a high-level game next time.

Chapter completed!
