1670 The responsibility is all mine
D'Antoni saw that Wang Yi seemed exhausted, leaning on his chair, as if he was too lazy to say a word.
So he took the initiative and said to Wang Yi:
"Wang, I know that you have never given up since you started playing, and you will never give up until the last second. But in today's situation, I think the most sensible thing to do is for you to stop playing. We will withdraw the main force, preserve our strength, and strive to win.
Next game."
Wang Yi glanced at head coach D'Antoni and nodded: "Coach, you make the decision."
D'Antoni was a little surprised.
He knew that Wang Yi's personality was strong, competitive and aggressive.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Yi will never give up until the last second. Even if he knows he will lose, he will fight until the last second.
There were several times when the team had clearly decided on a strategic abandonment policy, but he just fought back with his own strength.
This shows how strong Wang Yi’s competitive spirit is.
So he prepared a lot of rhetoric to persuade Wang Yi not to play today.
But I didn't expect Wang Yi to agree so easily.
Unexpectedly, he reached out and put his hand on Wang Yi's shoulder.
He meant to comfort Wang Yi.
Wang Yi has such a strong character, but he had to give up today.
"Wang, you have done enough and good enough. I am responsible for the failure of this game."
Wang Yi just shook his head and said nothing.
Since Wang Yi did not play, the Kings' score difference widened further.
The final score of this game was fixed at 90:135.
The Kings lost by 45 points.
It was like giving back the point difference in the first game.
Wang Yi scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists in this game.
The performance of other players is also much worse than before.
Wang Yi scored less and was not attractive enough, so the defensive pressure faced by others was much greater than in the previous games.
It was only then that they realized how inadequate they were when someone was defending in front of them.
This point was completely covered up in the previous games due to Wang Yi's strong performance.
After losing the game, all the Kings players entered the tunnel in silence and returned to the locker room without saying a word.
After returning to the locker room, everyone was silent.
They were beaten by the opponent with 45 points, which made them a little confused and unable to react.
You know, they defeated the Hornets in the previous three games by a big score.
Even if they lost in the 4th game, they only lost by 4 points.
They always thought that their strength should be able to crush the Hornets, but unexpectedly they were given a slap in the face by the Hornets today and lost by 45 points.
Wang Yi did not immediately encourage his teammates at this time. He remained silent like everyone else.
D'Antoni has rarely seen Wang Yi so silent after losing.
Under normal circumstances, after losing a game, Wang Yi either comforts and encourages his teammates, or motivates them impassionedly, and sometimes angrily scolds his teammates, but he has never been silent after losing.
This situation is very abnormal.
This worried him.
The TV screen in the visiting team's locker room is much smaller than the home team's locker room.
At this time, on this small TV screen, the post-game press conference against the Hornets was being played.
Every one of the Hornets players looked happy and relaxed.
In an interview with Bunyama, he even made a bold statement: "Winning by 45 points is a true reflection of the strength gap between the Kings and us."
Although Sanqiu didn't say anything cruel, his father had already talked a lot.
"My son will still beat Wang Yi in the next game."
"In this game, we will rob the king with 45 points. In the next game, we will annihilate the king with 54 points!"
"The reason why the Kings were able to win the first two games was because the Hornets didn't quite understand their routines. Once the two sides got familiar with each other, the further back they played, the greater the disadvantage of the Kings, and the strength gap between the two sides was truly reflected.
So friends, wait and see the historic 0:3 reversal!"
In the Kings locker room, the players all felt panicked after watching the press conference.
You know that the other person is saying harsh words, but you still can't refute it.
Because the losing side has no right to speak.
This is the most annoying thing.
The Kings' public relations staff looked at Wang Yi and D'Antoni.
According to the arrangement, Wang Yi and D'Antoni will be interviewed today.
Wang Yi shook his head:
"I'm tired and don't want to go."
The staff was a little embarrassed and a little apologetic:
"Sorry, Wang, I know you are tired, but your performance is very outstanding. If you don't go, it may disappoint the fans."
Kings players heard the subtext of this statement - everyone else's performance was too mediocre.
This made them feel a little more ashamed.
Wang Yi sighed: "Okay, wait two minutes."
He stood up helplessly.
He didn't change clothes or take a shower. He just put the towel on his shoulders and left the dressing room.
The players in the locker room watched silently.
At this time, no one knew what to say.
Wang Yi and head coach D'Antoni came to the media room.
As soon as they entered the media room, dozens of flashlights flashed at them.
欻欻欻——
Flashing non-stop.
Especially focusing on Wang Yi.
In the past, this flash light was a bit enjoyable, but today it feels like a naked slap in the face.
It's about stripping everything about you naked for others to see.
Wang Yi sat down weakly and looked up at the reporters. He did not say anything.
At this time, in the locker room next to the coal, the Kings players were also watching the press conference on TV.
A reporter asked Wang Yi.
"Wang, you scored a 30-point triple-double in today's game. This is already a very good performance for any star, but the Kings still lost. Are you very disappointed with this?"
This is obviously sowing discord.
To sow discord between Wang Yi and his teammates.
The Kings players are now under the influence of Wang Yi, and they also have to think about the reporters' intentions after asking questions. Now they all know the sinister intentions of these reporters.
Wang Yi shook his head and sighed.
"Of course I'm disappointed."
When the reporters heard this, there was an uproar.
Is Wang Yi no longer planning to hide it? Is he going to show his cards directly to his teammates?
You guys are trash, and I’m just very disappointed in you!
This is big news.
All reporters quickly focused their attention on Wang Yi.
The Kings public relations staff next to him felt his heart suddenly sinking.
Everyone knows that the reason why the Kings were able to reach the finals was because Wang Yi almost single-handedly dragged them in.
Now that it seems that he can no longer be brought back, is Wang Yi going to show off his cards?
But this is very detrimental to the unity of the Kings team.
It will be even more detrimental to subsequent games.
This is not like Wang Yi.
