The Lakers filed a complaint with the league to investigate the refereeing of this game.
The result of the investigation was, of course, that there was nothing wrong with the referee.
After all, it was originally arranged by NBA President Xiao Hua.
If the league lets three referees take the blame, I'm afraid the referees will be cruel and bite Xiao Hua out directly.
The fines and suspensions imposed by the league on Wang Yi are real.
This also made Wang Yi feel a deep disgust for this alliance full of interests.
But even so, what he wanted to do was not escape from this place full of copper odor.
But conquer it!
Wang Yi has such a character.
The stronger you are, the more dissatisfied I am.
One day, his status in the league and influence around the world will be as high as Jordan's.
When the time comes, his words will be enough for the alliance to tremble.
Back then, when Jordan retired for the first time, the United States was in the midst of an economic crisis.
The NBA is also in turmoil.
The entire United States and even the entire world are looking forward to Jordan's comeback.
Magic Johnson even posted a video begging Jordan to come back.
Once Jordan came back, the entire NBA was like a land after a long drought, thriving.
The following year, the Bulls even offered Jordan an annual salary of 30 million.
You know, that year, the team's salary cap was just over 24 million.
Jordan's annual salary alone is more than all the players on other teams combined.
This is the influence after reaching Jordan's level.
If Jordan really stomped his feet, the entire league would tremble.
(Let’s dispel the rumors here. There are many rumors that Jordan’s influence is too great. He brings hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to the league every year. Therefore, for the sake of profit, all the league bosses agreed that Jordan’s salary will not be included in the team’s salary, so
Don't worry about the salary cap.
In fact, it is because Jordan has played for the Bulls for three years, triggered the Bird Clause, and has the so-called Bird Rights. His salary does not need to be included in the team's total salary. Not only Jordan's salary is not included in those two years
The total salary of the team is the same for many players such as Knicks Ewing, Rockets Dream, Spurs Robinson, etc.
There was no luxury tax in those days, so if the team owners were able and willing, they could pay 100 million to these players with Bird Rights.)
After experiencing this game, Wang Yi's goals have slightly changed.
It’s no longer just about conquering the NBA.
It's about having the same influence as Jordan.
When the time comes, let's see who dares to blow the whistle.
When she finished her daily training, Nicole had already delivered breakfast.
She watched Wang Yi eating his breakfast carefully, paying attention to Wang Yi's expression.
She was relieved to find that Wang Yi didn't seem to be affected by being fined or suspended by the league.
"Wang, you have been suspended. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Lakers to play tomorrow night's game."
Wang Yi shook his head and said vaguely:
"Even if we lose tomorrow night, it will only be 2-3. In the next game, I will make the Clippers die very ugly!"
Nicole said nothing.
She just held her chin with her hand and looked at the confident man in front of her silently.
He's such a fascinating guy.
After a while, seeing Wang Yi eating all the food, Nicole's charming smile appeared again on her face.
"King, then I won't disturb you. I have other things to do today. Bye."
After saying that, he picked up the lunch box and jumped away like a happy bird.
Wang Yi watched her leave, and after a moment, he looked back.
The task given by the system today is to complete 200 one-on-one tackling training, plus 200 running tackling training.
After completion, the steal success rate can reach 20%.
You know, this is a very exaggerated success rate
On average, you can intercept your opponent once every five times.
The training of tackling is actually the training of reaction speed, speed, anticipation, court vision and other aspects.
Before other teammates arrived, he asked his personal trainer to dribble the ball past him while he looked for opportunities to steal it.
Stealing is not like shooting.
The basket is dead, but the person is alive.
It's very difficult to steal a defensive player.
Even though Wang Yi has long arms and big hands, it took him a dozen attempts before it was cut off from the trainer's hand once.
When they practiced until about ten o'clock in the morning, other players from the team arrived.
At this time, Wang Yi made more than 30 one-on-one steals.
At the end of the day, I'm afraid I can only steal about 100 times at most.
Fortunately, the time limit given by the system this time is not too short.
It's a full 5 days.
It should be enough.
The next day, the team had a game.
Wang Yi is suspended and naturally does not need to participate.
He just continued training.
At 12 o'clock that night, 200 one-on-one tackling training was completed.
The personal trainer sat on the floor of the training hall, breathing heavily.
"Wang, your training... is so crazy... I have never seen anyone work so hard."
In the past two days, he has been dribbling past Wang Yi.
If you have played one-on-one bullfighting, you will know how tiring it is.
Wang Yi also gasped: "That's because you didn't touch me."
Not long after they finished training, the results of the G5 game between the Lakers and Clippers came out.
The Lakers defeated the Clippers 89-86 with James' key three-pointer in the last 33 seconds.
Another very low-scoring meat-mincing battle.
In the end, the Lakers eliminated the Clippers with a score of 4 to 1 and advanced to the second round.
At the post-game press conference, reporters asked Beverley of the Clippers:
"Many fans think Wang Yi of the Lakers is very strong, but Wang was suspended in this game and you still lost. Do you think Wang's role in the Lakers is not as big as they said?"
This is still provocation.
As a reporter, I just want to watch the fun and don't think it's a big deal.
The bigger things are, the better.
This is the last opportunity to challenge the Clippers and Lakers this season. Naturally, the issue can be as big as it needs to be.
However, to everyone's surprise, Beverly pondered for a few seconds.
He raised his head.
Facing the cameras of all reporters, he said solemnly:
"On the contrary, Wang's position in the Lakers is very important. Without Wang, maybe we will eliminate the Lakers tonight."
"He is a respectable opponent. I have defended many stars in my career, including superstars like LeBron and Kevin. And Wang is the most difficult guy among them."
"He is difficult not only in terms of his skills, but also in various aspects such as his golf intelligence. When defending Kevin, I can keep irritating him by spouting trash talk until I am ejected with him. But in front of Wang, these tricks don't matter at all.
It makes me feel like a ridiculous clown."
When the reporters heard this, they all looked at each other.
This is nothing like what Mad Dog Beverly could say.
Beverly paused and continued:
"I know what you are thinking. But this is how I really feel. What surprises me most is that that guy's fighting spirit is stronger than mine. The blood in his body seems to be always hot, and his fighting spirit seems to never
Extinguish."
"Finally, let me stress it again: He is the most respectable athlete I have ever seen. Please stop provoking."
"At the same time, I also want to use this press conference to apologize to him."
Beverly looked at the main camera of the venue, with sincerity in his eyes:
Chapter completed!
