At the end of the game, the audience was reluctant to leave for a long time.
They all wanted to stay a little longer and experience this historic night.
After all, I am afraid this is the only time in my life that I can experience such a night.
Wang Yi emerged from the crowd of Lakers players and uniform staff, his eyes constantly searching the entire court for the ball for tonight's game.
Basketball means a lot to him.
He wants to find the basketball and treasure it for the rest of his life.
Back then, the Warriors won an unprecedented 73 games.
After the game, the game ball is divided, and the whole team, from the coach to the players, has a small piece.
This shows how much the match ball means to them.
And tonight Wang Yi scored a triple-double with 82 points. He made history with this basketball.
Therefore, the significance of this basketball is no less than the ball used in the Warriors' 73-win game.
However, after searching for five or six minutes and asking seven or eight players and security guards, they could not find the game ball.
This basketball is so precious that someone probably took it away.
It's not like this has never happened before.
Wang Yi inevitably felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.
At this time, the Eagles' coach and players came over to pay tribute to the Lakers players.
Eagles coach McMillan did not greet Vogel or James first, but was the first to walk up to Wang Yi and give Wang Yi, who was covered in sweat, a big hug.
He said from the bottom of his heart: "Not keeping you is the thing I regret most in my life."
Wang Yi joked: "If you say this, I won't be stubborn with you."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
McMillan patted Wang Yi hard on the back: "Go on, young man. I'm looking forward to seeing your performance in the playoffs."
Then, Trae Young also came over.
He was wearing only his vest and carrying his jersey.
"Wang, can I have the honor of exchanging jerseys with you?"
he asked.
Wang Yi nodded: "Of course."
After saying that, he and Trae Young exchanged players and showed the jersey to the media for a group photo.
Then the two hugged each other tightly.
As two players who have been fighting for a whole game, they cherish each other.
They were all shocked by their opponents' fighting spirit, unyielding spirit, and tenacious will.
Trae Young's small brown curly hair swayed in front of Wang Yi's eyes.
His sparse stubble pricked Wang Yi's shoulders slightly.
"I have never convinced anyone in my life, not even Kevin or LeBron. Wang, you are the first."
Wang Yi joked: "You are not the first person to convince me, and you will not be the last one."
Although it was a joke, this sentence is enough to illustrate Wang Yi's confidence and ambition.
When the players from both sides retreated, ESPN's beautiful reporter, Nicole Briscoe, walked over.
Her arrival immediately attracted the attention of many players.
This is a famous beauty from ESPN.
But on the night when Wang Yi won the three-point championship, they knew the relationship between this beauty and Wang Yi.
So at this time, they can only feel envious.
"King, congratulations to you!"
It can be heard from Nicole's voice that she seems to be more excited than Wang Yi.
Wang Yi was always a little at a loss when faced with Nicole's enthusiasm.
From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want to think about feelings yet.
But Nicole is like a volcano coming towards you, no matter how hard your heart is, it will be melted by her passion.
"Thanks."
Wang Yi said somewhat mechanically.
Nicole also felt Wang Yi's unnaturalness.
If there was no one else around, she might hug Wang Yi.
After all, according to their culture, they can completely release their nature and express their emotions on such occasions.
But considering Wang Yi's feelings, she suppressed her impulse.
When the camera was turned on, Nicole did not ask questions directly like ordinary reporters.
Instead, he said to Wang Yi mysteriously: "Wang, in order to congratulate you on scoring 80 triple-doubles, I will give you a gift. You will definitely thank me."
Wang Yi was a little confused: "What?"
Nicole waved to the security guard not far away.
The security guard immediately ran over with a basketball in his hand.
Nicole took the basketball from his hand and said to Wang Yi: "This is the ball for tonight's game. I think this must be of extraordinary significance to you."
Wang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
He snatched it from Nicole's hand and hugged the ball hard into his arms with both hands.
It's like holding a rare treasure.
It's like a child holding a beloved toy he just got.
Nicole looked at Wang Yi like a child, with love from the bottom of her heart appearing in her eyes.
She handed over another pen and said softly: "Sign your name, there is still time, and your data."
Wang Yi then let go of the basketball and said, "Thank you."
He took the marker and wrote two lines of cursive on it:
[April 10, 2022, Lakers played against Hawks, 82 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists]
Finally he signed his name.
It's not the domineering circle drawing that is typical of celebrity signatures.
Instead, he wrote the two characters "Wang Yi" in a very formal cursive style.
His signature is either in block letters, cursive, or cursive.
It is in line with the aesthetics of traditional calligraphy.
It's definitely not an art form of drawing circles - it looks awesome, but it's actually nothing.
This is also what his father taught him when he became a star in China: his signature should not be like a ghost draw, but should have connotation.
After finishing writing, he raised his head again and said to Nicole: "Thank you."
Nicole shook her head and said, "Do you and I still need to say thank you?"
As she spoke, she glanced at James at the entrance of the passage.
In fact, at the end of the previous game, she was so excited that she didn't even think of getting the game ball.
It was James who was the first to protect the ball, and then handed it to her and asked her to give it to Wang Yi personally, giving her another perfect opportunity to perform in front of Wang Yi.
So she was also very grateful to James.
Then, Nicole asked the first question: "Scoring 82 points in a triple-double, I think the whole world will be crazy about you. What do you want to say to the fans?"
Wang Yi hugged the ball and replied: "It's very simple. Tonight's game proves that the Chinese can not only gain a foothold in the NBA, but also perform a performance that shocks everyone. So, please take off your colored glasses and watch carefully."
Take a look at the world. The world has changed and is no longer what you saw in the past."
Nicole nodded heavily: "That's great. Second question, when the team is in adversity, how do you ensure that you don't despair and at the same time inspire your teammates to move forward against the wind?"
Wang Yi still had no thoughts: "The stronger the enemy, the more excited I am. So when I am in adversity, I will not despair, but will be full of fighting spirit. This is also a characteristic of mine. Others cannot learn from it. I won't say
No matter what big words I use to motivate my teammates, I will only use my own actions to motivate them."
Then Nicole asked the third question.
After the interview, she said to Wang Yi: "Wang, I will treat you to dinner tonight to celebrate your great performance."
Wang Yi subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But when I saw Nicole's expectant eyes, I couldn't bear it.
"Then... okay, but I'll ask you."
