Wang Yi listened to Mr. Bo's words and thought for a moment.
Afterwards, Wang Yi nodded and said:
"Mr. Bo, thank you, thank you so much. If we win the championship this year, then I will give you double the red wine. Two bottles."
The old man smiled and said: "What if you don't win the championship?"
"Then don't think about red wine."
After Wang Yi finished speaking, both of them laughed.
After laughing, Mr. Bo said:
"Wang Yi, in fact, with your IQ and understanding of basketball, you should be able to think of strategically giving up the fifth game."
"But your character is too strong and too competitive. Being too competitive is a good thing in most cases, but in rare cases it may not be. Take today's situation as an example. Just because you are too strong and too competitive, your subconscious mind
I never thought about giving up a game strategically."
"What you think is: Even if you can't beat me, you will fight to the end. The word "give up" has never been in your dictionary."
"For young people, this is an indomitable fighting spirit."
"But to survive in the NBA, just fighting unyieldingly is called being stubborn. Gradually as you get older and as you play more and more games, sometimes you should learn to give up. Of course,
Our giving up is only a means, not an end."
"Our goal is to win the final victory."
Wang Yi nodded again: "Mr. Bo, you have learned a lesson."
After Wang Yi finished talking to Mr. Bo on the phone, he thought for a moment and called Nicole again.
After the two exchanged greetings, Wang Yi told Nicole something: "Nicole, I have something I want you to do. So, so, so, so..."
After hearing this, Nicole said: "Wang, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me."
…
Two days later, at 8 o'clock, prime time, Game 5 between the Kings and the Hornets started in Sacramento.
At the beginning of the game, Danny was in a very hot state. His three-pointer gave the Kings an initial 5-point lead.
However, after halfway through the first quarter, Wang Yi found that Naven Banyama and Sangoo seemed to be in even hotter shape.
As for the Kings, except for Danny, everyone else is in average condition today.
Rose missed two mid-range shots, and Tours' dunk under the basket was blocked.
Although Wang Yi himself is in a fair state, he knows that this fair state cannot lead the Kings to win at all.
So he decided to give up strategically for the first time in his career.
…
Wang Yi decided to give up strategically, but this strategic giving up must have technical content and cannot be easily seen by others.
To make people feel that Wang Yi has indeed tried his best, the overall strength of the team cannot beat others.
Ever since, he still acted like he was giving his best on the court.
It's just that there is moisture in this full exertion that is difficult for others to detect.
Moreover, when Wang Yi only played with four and a half minutes left in the first quarter, he took the initiative to signal to the head coach on the sidelines to substitute him.
The head coach frowned slightly and immediately replaced Wang Yi.
There was a bit of worry between his brows, and he asked: "Wang, what's going on?"
Wang Yi knew what the head coach was worried about, and he replied to the coach:
"It's nothing, I just feel that my physical condition is not very good today."
This made D'Antoni feel a little worried.
Wang Yi has never participated in any high-intensity training before. After his comeback two months ago, he has had high-intensity training and competition every day. Especially in the playoffs, the intensity of the competition is higher and the consumption of physical energy is greater.
It is the individual body that accumulates fatigue.
When the body's accumulated fatigue reaches a certain level, it will first become unstable.
And often at this time, if you don't take a break in time, there is a high probability that you will get injured next.
Thinking of this, D'Antoni said to Wang Yi:
"Then your playing time will be reduced as much as possible today."
Wang Yi nodded and sat down directly without saying anything.
He leaned back in the chair with a tired look.
This situation naturally attracted the attention of the team doctors.
Bai Yin next to him also noticed Wang Yi's physical condition.
She approached Wang Yi and asked: "What's going on? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to give you a massage?"
Wang Yi nodded.
So Bai Yin began to help Wang Yi massage his shoulders, back, and leg muscles, including relaxing his fingers.
I have to say that Bai Yin's technique is really skillful. After the massage, Wang Yi felt that his whole body was relaxed. At this time, he really wanted to have a good sleep.
…
Four minutes into the second quarter, Navenbanyama's state on the court seemed to be going crazy.
It was obvious that the guy had received guidance from an expert and passed the level in his mind.
Mr. Bo once said that Doug is a hurdle for Wenban Yama. If he passes this hurdle, Wenban Yama will be upgraded. If he cannot pass it, he will probably sink.
It seems that this guy has upgraded.
Since he has been upgraded, Wang Yi does not need to pay attention to him for the time being.
This guy was too frustrated in the previous two games, and there will be a ball of anger simmering in his body, and he must be allowed to vent this anger.
And this strategic abandonment allowed him to defeat the king, and his anger had been vented.
Wait until the next game to deal with him.
After Wang Yi came back on the court, he also made several offensive attempts.
Hit three goals.
At this time, the Hornets began to adopt a double-team strategy against Wang Yi, and Wang Yi could only pass the ball out.
The Kings players feel about the same as usual, and it is obviously impossible to beat the Hornets at this level.
As a result, the points difference gradually widened.
When Wang Yi came off the court with three minutes left in the second quarter, the point difference was widened to 10 points.
After Wang Yi and a group of main players left the field, when the substitutes came on, the 10-point difference quickly widened to 20 points in just three minutes.
That's the problem with the Kings' roster depth.
If the Kings want to win, their main players must beat their opponents a lot on the court, so that they can make up for the loss to their opponents by their substitutes.
One can imagine how difficult it would be for Wang Yi to lead such a team to win.
After playing in the third quarter, Doug still clung to Wenbanyama, which was able to contain Wenbanyama to a certain extent, but at this time the three-goal side blossomed again.
Three consecutive assists and two more scores continued to widen the point difference.
In the end, when Wang Yi came off the court again, the score difference had reached 25 points.
When Wang Yi took a break, the split quickly expanded to 35 points.
At this time, there are only 8 minutes left before the end of the game.
Finally, D'Antoni glanced at Wang Yi, who seemed exhausted on the bench, and shook his head.

Chapter completed!
