Wang Yi's remarks caused an uproar at the scene.
Embiid is one of the hottest superstars in the league right now.
Generally speaking, even if players are dissatisfied with a certain superstar, they will be cautious in their words and actions during interviews.
It is still very rare for Wang Yi to openly challenge other superstars.
Sure enough, Wang Yi is very interesting here.
Even though he has now become the boss of the Kings, he is still very promising.
A greasy-faced male reporter took the opportunity to raise his hand and ask:
"In the conflict just now, you and Embiid were both expelled. As his opponent, what do you want to say? Also, what do you want to say about the abuse of you by the 76ers fans at the scene?
?”
Wang Yi did not look at the male reporter with oily hair and pink face. He was afraid that his eyes would be contaminated.
Looking at a female reporter with a good face in the field, he said seriously, word by word: "Embid and his 76ers had better not encounter me again, otherwise, they will torture me once they meet!"
"Wow——"
Wang Yi's words once again detonated the entire venue.
This guy is so talented.
Just pull out one of his words without any processing at all, and it can cause huge controversy if you put it as it is on the website.
Coach Walton next to him couldn't help but frown slightly.
Wang Yi is still too young.
Doesn't he know how to keep a low profile?
In fact, Wharton's thinking is still a little outdated.
Today's society doesn't need any low-key.
If there is controversy, there will be traffic, and if there is traffic, there will be money.
It's that simple, straightforward and crude.
The next day, Wang Yi's remarks naturally set off the Internet again.
Almost 80% of the people on the Internet are hating Wang Yi.
"This guy is so crazy."
"A traitor who doesn't know how to restrain himself and is so arrogant is simply a bastard."
"If this guy dares to come to our city, he will be killed in less than 5 minutes."
The Kings' public relations department is also at a loss.
They are specifically responsible for solving various crises for the team and players. But Wang Yi is like an atomic bomb when he comes, and their public relations department is also very helpless.
At the same time, O'Neill spoke out for Wang Yi on his show.
And he is not just defending Wang Yi, his comments really caused many people to think.
It even caused panic in some people.
"It is undeniable that Wang Yi's remarks are indeed arrogant and arrogant. But have you noticed that all the awesome things he has boasted are becoming reality step by step."
"He said he would lead the Kings to a revival. Currently, the Kings have 8 wins and 5 losses, and their record has been ranked eighth in the Western Conference. And if the current momentum continues, it is likely to continue to move forward."
"After scoring a quadruple-double last year, he said that this would never be his first quadruple-double. As a result, yesterday he scored a second quadruple-double. There was only half a year between the two quadruple-doubles.
That’s it. You know, only five people in history have scored a quadruple-double. Jordan, Kobe, and James have never scored a quadruple-double.”
"When he missed the Best of the Month last year, he once said that he would definitely win the Best of the Month next season, and he did so in a very strong manner. But he did it again."
"So now he says he will meet Embiid and the 76ers in the future, and they will torture him once and for all. Will this become a reality?"
"He also said that he was here to conquer the NBA. At that time, many people thought he was bragging, but looking back now, is this becoming a reality step by step?"
This statement attracted the attention of many people.
Even NBA officials retweeted O'Neal's remarks.
Although last season Wang Yi openly provoked the league because of refereeing issues.
The league has indeed been indifferent to him for a long time: it did not report on him, causing him to lose exposure, and referees would specifically target him on the court.
But there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Wang Yi has played such a strong performance this season, even superstars such as James, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Curry and others are far less impressive than his performance.
He attracted huge attention and buzz to the NBA.
And in order to rebuild relations with China, the NBA must rely on Wang Yi as a bridge.
Therefore, since Wang Yi scored 60 points back-to-back, the NBA has stepped up its promotion of Wang Yi.
He was even once called the next epoch-making superstar after James.
(Durant, the second-best guy in the millennium: Huh? What about me? I managed to get James through until he was about to retire. Why did Wang Yi come out again? What about me?)
Under O'Neal's remarks that were forwarded by the NBA official, there were all kinds of messages from fans.
"Nonsense, is Embiid afraid of him? It's just a win."
"Shaq is too old and confused. He should go back to watch soap operas with his grandma."
"I think O'Neal is telling the truth."
"If you take a closer look, there are more things that Wang Yi has boasted about that can be achieved. So, tremble, 76ers."
…
Time has entered December, and James has celebrated his 39th birthday at this time.
The Lakers team he leads is also full of veterans.
Anthony is 39 years old;
Howard is 38;
Rondo is 37 years old;
DeAndre Jordan is 35 years old;
Westbrook is 35 years old...
You know, professional basketball is at the end of its career at the age of 35.
Many players have retired at the age of 35.
This shows how old the current Lakers team is.
So the current Lakers team is nicknamed the Los Angeles Nursing Home.
At the beginning of the season, due to the serious aging of the team, the running-in between players also required a process, so they experienced a wave of two wins and four losses.
But under the leadership of the 39-year-old King, the Lakers rebounded strongly and their record soared.
Now they have a record of 20 wins and 4 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.
The Kings, under the leadership of Wang Yi, are also making great progress.
The current record is 16 wins and 8 losses, ranking sixth in the Western Conference.
In the 11 games since winning the Western Conference Player of the Month, Wang Yi's performance has become even stronger.
Averaged 40.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game.
In the first 11 games in December, Wang Yi scored 60 once and 50 three times.
He is in very hot condition.
Averaging 7 three-pointers per game.
And the logo will be thrown into the three-pointer in almost every game.
The Kings' current run-and-gun tactics and one-star, four-shooter system are also becoming more mature.
Although their defense still hasn't improved much, their personal defensive ability has been greatly enhanced under Wang Yi's training.
Now they have become the most offensive team in the league.
In view of this, the league has adjusted the number of Kings' national live broadcast games from 0 to 7.
The Kings' first national live broadcast was the Christmas Day game against the Lakers on December 25.
In fact, the previous Christmas game was arranged between the Lakers and the Warriors.
However, the Warriors are unable to play due to Klay Thompson's injury and Curry's recent minor injury.
The Warriors suffered a five-game losing streak.
Their attention has been greatly reduced.
Therefore, the league replaced the Warriors with the gorgeous Kings led by Wang Yi, who has been in hot form recently.
And since Wang Yi was traded, he has been called a traitor by fans.
In the Christmas war, the traitorous players return to their home court to challenge their old owners.
Chapter completed!
