Wang Yi knew that this would be the most difficult of the three games.
but……
In order to fulfill Westbrook's championship dream and to allow Westbrook to retire with more dignity, Wang Yi will do it no matter how difficult it is.
And having been taken care of by the system for so many years, Wang Yi rarely has the opportunity to go head-to-head with tough opponents.
Now the system has finally given him a few opportunities to challenge his opponents without using experience cards. With a character like his, how could he miss it?
The more adversity you face, the more excited you become. This is Wang Yi!
Thinking of this, he practiced harder.
At the other end of the court, Westbrook was also practicing shooting.
Wang Yi said that he wanted to help him realize his championship dream, which he knew, but Wang Yi said that by allowing him to realize his championship dream in such a decent manner, he would not be said to be a pushover, so that he would definitely perform in the playoffs.
I haven't seen this Westbrook until now.
Of course, he is not blaming Wang Yi, he is just wondering why Wang Yi said such words?
Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, at the Golden Center No. 1, the fourth game between the two sides was about to begin.
Everyone knows this will be the toughest matchup in this series.
After all, the Grizzlies are definitely not willing to just go home and fish, and the Kings want to end the battle in the Golden Center.
Especially Wang Yi, he said that he still has to score 60+ in this game.
So before the game even started, hotels throughout Sacramento were already full.
In China, those fans who are looking forward to the live broadcast of this game have also filled up their memberships early.
Magic City, men’s basketball training center.
The 30 people who are preparing for this summer's 2031 Men's Basketball World Cup are also watching this game.
Among them, chubby Pangbo is among them.
At the age of 17, Pangbo can participate in this year's Men's Basketball World Cup, which also shows how exaggerated his talent is.
He is 2.16 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.37 meters.
Weight is 118 kg.
What's surprising is that for such a big man and such a big weight, he can run much faster than other centers in the country.
The most important thing is this guy's understanding of the technical movements of basketball, which is simply jaw-dropping.
In the basketball school, the coaches just taught him a technical move, and within ten minutes he learned it well.
After coming to the national team for training, he has made rapid progress under the guidance of many coaches and players.
It is no exaggeration to say that the now 17-year-old Xiaopang has completely crushed his peers. Even if he is allowed to play in the CBA now, he can still play well.
Many people have begun to look forward to this World Cup, when Little Pangbo can cooperate with Wang Yi.
Of course, what Xiaopang currently lacks is competition experience. He has too little experience.
Although the current 12-man roster of the men's basketball team has not yet been determined, domestic fans agree that it is almost certain that Xiaopang will be included in the final 12-man roster of the men's basketball team.
Meanwhile, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Juan is coaching a group of children to practice dribbling.
What appeared on the big screen behind them was the Kings' game.
Juan's basketball talent has been spotted by the Brazilian national team and they are preparing to recruit him into the national team.
Although he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing because of his basketball talent, the salary of a national team member in Brazil is not high, so he still has to do training to support his family.
This is very common in Brazil.
Take football as an example. When converted into RMB, 80% of the wages of Brazilian players are less than 1,350 yuan.
Only a very small group of people can get big contracts.
Although Juan is overflowing with basketball talent, he has not yet achieved any results, so his salary is naturally not high.
At this time, seeing that there were still 5 minutes left before the start of the game, Juan stopped the next training and said to the children: "Do you want to see how the best players in the world play?"
More than a dozen children responded: "Yes!"
One child looked at Juan seriously and asked: "Juan, aren't you the best player in basketball?"
Juan smiled and shook his head and said: "How can I be the best player? I am still far, far away from him, just like the distance from here to the NBA."
At this time, a picture of Wang Yi preparing on the sidelines appeared on the screen.
Juan pointed to Wang Yi on the screen: "He is the best player in the world, Wang Yi! He is also my idol."
The children nodded their little heads as if they didn't understand.
At this time, Juan looked at Wang Yi's resolute face and firm eyes, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.
Wang, I hope I can play against you in the World Cup this year.
Although Juan knows that his current level is far inferior to Wang Yi, being able to play against his idol is the happiest thing in the world.
At the same time, this game has also attracted huge attention around the world.
Big data shows that today's game has not even started yet, and the number of real-time viewers has exceeded 10 million.
If we talk about the number of viewers, it has exceeded hundreds of millions!
It is expected that this number will continue to rise after the game begins, and some experts estimate that it may eventually exceed 300 million.
At this time, NBA Commissioner David Silver was looking down at the data on the tablet.
Seeing that experts predicted that the number of viewers of this game would exceed 300 million, a smile appeared on his face, and his bald head looked even more shiny.
Wang Yi is really a cash cow.
After his retirement, the NBA Finals had the highest viewership, with only 10 million viewers.
And now, the number of viewers of one of his playoff games, and it was still the first round, exceeded 100 million.
How much traffic will this bring to the NBA?
However, the smile on Xiao Hua's face quickly faded, because he is a businessman, and businessmen are always dissatisfied with their desires.
He is already looking forward to when the NBA Finals will be more watched than the World Cup Finals.
It is said that the most watched game in the world is the 2022 Qatar World Cup final between Argentina and France. The number of global viewers reached 3.7 billion, the highest in history.
(Some people always understand the number of views as the number of viewers. The number of views means that even if the same person clicks in ten times, it counts as 10 people. So it is not an exaggeration to say 3.7 billion people.)
If the NBA could reach this number of viewers, wouldn't it be a huge profit?
So Xiao Hua has already determined his plan to create a god in the next few years.
Wang Yi must be made into a super symbol of the NBA.
When people think of NBA, they think of Wang Yi, and when people think of Wang Yi, they think of NBA.
His status should even surpass that of the God of Basketball and become the only representative of the NBA.
Whether Wang Yi has surpassed Jordan now is a matter of great controversy around the world.
What I have to do is to let Wang Yi surpass Jordan in an all-round way.
Wang Yi wants to surpass Jordan. As long as he wins the championship again this year, he will be equal to Jordan in terms of the number of championships, and his superb performance in many games has already surpassed Jordan.
