the next day.
April 12th.
There are still two days until the playoffs start.
Wang Yi still completed his daily training tasks as usual.
Then, the cold mechanical voice of the system in his mind came, without any emotion at all:
[Task: Make 5,000 three-pointers.]
[Task reward: Three-point shooting rate increased to 50%.]
[Task time limit: 48 hours.]
"hiss--"
When Wang Yi heard about this mission reward, he couldn't help but take a deep breath with excitement.
If a player has a stable three-point shooting percentage of 45%, then even if he can't do anything else, he will already be the object of competition for various teams just by virtue of his one-handed three-point shooting.
You can imagine how crazy it must be when a player's three-point shooting percentage reaches 50%.
Toss in two and you'll get one.
Just shooting three-pointers in a game can drive opponents crazy.
It is no longer a simple strategic weapon.
But strategic nuclear weapons!
However, when he saw that the mission time limit was only 48 hours, Wang Yi took a breath again.
I completed 1,000 three-pointers before and it took me 12 hours.
Now that I have completed 5,000 three-pointers, I am only given 48 hours.
No more meals?
No more sleep?
But after a few simple complaints, Wang Yi shook his head and went to move the shooting machine.
James said it very well:
Destiny will not arrange something that is impossible for you to do. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how many hardships you go through, it can still be completed. If you can't complete it, it's just that your efforts are not enough.
This sentence applies to Wang Yi:
The system will not arrange tasks that cannot be completed. If you fail to complete them, it is just because you did not work hard enough.
Now the three-point shooting rate is already 45%, and the three-point shooting rate in training will be even higher.
When in full physical condition, Wang Yi's training three-point shooting rate can reach about 85%.
Therefore, it is not impossible to complete this task.
Hang the net of the shooting machine under the backboard, with the mouth of the shooting machine facing the top of the three-point arc.
Place three basketballs on top of the shooting machine.
The switch was pressed.
Then he quickly walked to the top of the three-point arc.
After a second's pause, the shooting machine sprayed out a basketball, flying towards Wang Yi.
Catch the ball and take off.
Whoosh!
Hollow hit.
A system prompt came in my mind:
[Task completion degree: 1/5000]
[Remaining time: 47 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds]
From the moment the first ball is scored, the countdown begins.
Then, the second ball was ejected.
Wang Yi set up an intelligent angle adjustment mode.
Each time the shooting machine ejects a basketball, the angle will make a small adjustment.
This way you don't have to practice just one shooting spot.
He took a step to the left, caught the basketball, and shot again.
Whoosh!
Still a hollow hit.
When the basketball rolled down the net and into the entrance of the shooting machine, another reminder came to my mind.
[Mission completion: 2/5000]
[Remaining time: 47 hours, 58 minutes and 57 seconds]
An hour later, he had scored more than 800 goals with his super high shooting percentage.
Another hour later, more than 1,500 goals had been scored.
At this time, the teammates have arrived, and the coach begins to arrange today's training subjects.
Wang Yi applied to the coach to train three-pointers today and tomorrow.
The coach agreed without any hesitation.
For a player who started his career with three-pointers, letting him practice three-pointers is undoubtedly the wisest choice.
In the afternoon, Wang Yi continued to practice three-pointers.
After practicing for three hours, his arms were already sore and numb.
Regardless of the fact that just shooting three-pointers doesn't seem to consume much physical energy.
But shooting three-pointers one after another like this puts great pressure on both arms and wrists.
When he hit 1,000 three-pointers, he felt his arms go numb.
When he hit 1,500 three-pointers, he felt that his arms didn't feel like his own at all, as if he had two robotic arms.
When he hit his 2,000th three-pointer, he was completely dead.
Both arms were almost numb, and he was shooting completely subconsciously.
As a result, the hit rate is greatly reduced.
In desperation, he had to sit on the sidelines and rest for half an hour.
Just at this time, Nicole came to visit the class.
I brought some energy-supplementing foods to Wang Yi: bananas, cereals, strawberries, etc.
When the other players saw how caring Nicole was to Wang Yi, they all had only envy in their eyes.
After resting for half an hour, Wang Yi continued to practice.
At the end of the day, 3,000 shooting training sessions were completed.
Early the next morning, he did not do daily training in advance.
Instead, put shooting training first.
But when he raised his arms to shoot, he found that his arms were sore and he couldn't lift them up at all.
Generally speaking, NBA players have been engaged in high-intensity competition and training, so it is almost impossible for them to experience body soreness after training like this.
Now that Wang Yi has this phenomenon, it can only mean that the amount of three-point training he did yesterday was too heavy.
He hit 3,000 three-pointers, but he made at least more than 6,000.
After shooting more than 20 three-pointers in a row, the pain in his body gradually disappeared.
The shots are getting smoother and smoother.
Today's 2,000 three-point tasks should be completed in the afternoon.
When the time comes, he will hit 50% of his three-point shooting percentage, which makes him excited just thinking about it.
…
At the same time in China, Wang Yi appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated and once again became a hot topic.
Of course, many domestic fans don't know what it means to be on the cover of "Sports Illustrated".
So several big Vs came out to popularize science.
There are also many sports enthusiasts making popular science videos on Douyin.
In terms of high emotional intelligence, it is popular science;
In terms of low EQ, it is just riding on Wang Yi’s popularity.
However, Wang Yi is not opposed to riding on his own popularity.
As long as it's not a malicious attempt to smear yourself, feel free to do so if you want.
If it can bring some income to the Chinese people, why not?
Of course, there are also those in the United States who are enjoying Wang Yi’s popularity.
But in the United States, in addition to some fans who cheer for Wang Yi, there are also many people who specifically criticize Wang Yi to gain popularity.
Celtics legend Pierce tweeted:
"Isn't he afraid of the curse of the cover if he shoots the cover of Sports Illustrated before the start of the playoffs?"
Bulls legend Pippen tweeted:
"A guy who has never touched the postseason floor, scored 82 points in a game and then became inflated? The playoffs are the stage for superstars. It doesn't matter if you can score more than 25 points in the playoffs."
Stephen A. Smith, Yang Yi from the United States, made even more wild remarks during the show:
"The Lakers' opponent in the first round of the playoffs will be the Clippers in the same city. Whether it's Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, or trash dog Beverley, they can guard him to death."
"Yes, although he performed well against the Clippers in the regular season, it seems that these three people can't do anything to him. But don't forget that the defensive intensity in the playoffs will be completely raised to a higher level.
Some games can even be described as a meat grinder."
"With a small body like his, can he withstand such a defense? Will his efficiency still be that high under such a defense?"
"So I make a bold prediction. In the first round, he will be killed by the garbage dog Beverly!"
Just when this program was broadcast, Wang Yi finally completed the task of 5,000 three-pointers.
【Mission completed!】
Chapter completed!
