497 The Terminator of the Small Ball Era
There is a three-day break between the playoffs and the Kings' first playoff game.
During this period, it seems that except for Wang Yi's hand injury, all the news is good news.
In the past three days, Wang Yi has become famous all over the world.
In a slum in Spain.
Several children aged seven or eight were playing ball.
They all ran barefoot on the court, causing dust to fly on the dirt court.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard walked over from the sidelines.
Seeing that these children were all barefoot, he frowned and called one of the children: "Hildo, why don't you wear sneakers? Don't you have any sneakers? Didn't I just send you a batch of sneakers yesterday?
?”
The little boy with curly hair wiped his face and said, "Playing without sneakers is even better."
"Nonsense!"
The middle-aged man glanced at the six boys and saw that they were all barefoot.
He scolded sternly: "Who told you that playing barefoot is better?"
The little curly-haired boy said stubbornly: "As Juan said, he would never lie to us."
The middle-aged man looked at the tall, thin boy with curly hair in the middle of the field, waved to him, and shouted: "Juan, come here!"
Juan obviously knew what was going on. He was also very stubborn and raised his head: "I saw the photo in the newspaper yesterday. The Chinese man named Wang was standing barefoot, and next to him was written 102 points! I have never
Don’t lie.”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he understood.
He waved and called all the children over.
He took out his mobile phone, opened the replay of yesterday's game, and pointed at Wang Yi on the court: "Did you see that? He's wearing sneakers!"
All the children look at me and I look at you.
Finally everyone looked at Juan.
Juan was anxious and blushed: "I obviously saw that newspaper. I'm going home to get it now."
The middle-aged man grabbed Juan and said, "No, keep looking behind."
As he said this, he brought the game to the end.
At this time, Wang Yi on the screen was surrounded by five people and quickly took off his shoes.
Then comes the shocking "kill" that follows.
When all the children came here, they suddenly understood.
The middle-aged man said: "It's not that he doesn't wear shoes when playing, it's just a method used to paralyze the opponent at the last moment in order to break the double-team of those five people. Do you understand?"
All the children nodded in understanding.
At this time, there was light in Juan's eyes.
He looked at the middle-aged man: "Uncle Carlos, can we watch this game on your mobile phone?"
Although some families in their slums have TVs, they can't watch pay channels, so naturally they can't watch the NBA.
As for mobile phones... I'm sorry, most adults in slums use older phones, and naturally children don't have mobile phones.
Only people like Carlos, who run outside all year round, are likely to have smartphones.
Carlos looked at these children, filled with memories of his own childhood.
When he was young, he endured a lot of hardships and suffered a lot just to watch the NBA.
He even walked more than 20 kilometers just to watch a finals game.
He nodded: "Let's go to my house. I'll charge my phone and you can watch."
"Very good!"
"Uncle Carlos, thank you!"
Carlos stroked Juan's head and said, "It doesn't matter. If you want to watch a football match in the future, just come to me. As long as I'm at home and as long as I have time."
At this time, Carlos could never have dreamed that more than 20 years later, at the end of Wang Yi's career, this tall and lanky Juan would grow into the league's top center, a giant like a giant.
When Wang Yi retired, this kid quickly became one of the two major centers in the post-Wang Yi era.
Together with another center from China, he dominated the NBA for twenty years.
The two personally ended the small ball era.
When he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, he thanked two people.
One is his Uncle Carlos;
The other one is Wang Yi.
"Without Wang Yi, I wouldn't like basketball, wouldn't yearn for where he fought, and wouldn't join the NBA. You all say that I ended the small ball era with my own hands. Some even say that if Wang Yi doesn't retire, he will be easily beaten by me.
Defeated. Please, don’t bring trouble on me again.”
"If Wang didn't retire, I would never be the terminator of the small ball era. He is a mountain, and we can only stand at the foot of the mountain and look up at the majesty of this mountain. It was he who changed my life, and I will regard him as my whole life.
Keep working hard for your goal.”
Another center who ended the small ball era with him, Pang Bo from China, also thanked Wang Yi in his selection speech.
"I have always set Wang Yi as my goal along the way. I have been following in his footsteps like Kuafu chasing each other day by day. I once thought I could catch up with him. But later I discovered that it was just me at that time.
An expanded illusion. He is the sun in the sky. I can never catch up with his footsteps. I can only look up to his brightness and greatness."
…
Of course, Juan and Pangbo are just one of the many children influenced by Wang Yi.
When Wang Yi scored 102 points, thousands of children around the world were influenced by Wang Yi.
But there is also bad news.
That's when the biggest Yihei Smith appears again.
He posted a message on Twitter: 102 points.
The content is: It is undeniable that being able to score 102 points does illustrate his strength. But it is a pity that these 102 points were scored. In the last four minutes, the Kings had led by more than 20 points, and the Pelicans had given up.
Despite the resistance, Wang Yi still went on the court to score points. In the end, in order to break the record, he staged a clown-like act of taking off his shoes to defeat double teams. He is simply a clown.
Go see those great players.
In the game before Kobe scored 81 points, he scored 62 points in three quarters. He did not play in the fourth quarter to score points. Just a few days later, he proved his greatness with a solid 81 points in a game.
In the season when Olajuwon got a quadruple-double, he almost got a quadruple-double in a game before, but he didn't bother to get a quadruple-double, so he clocked out early.
It is really disgusting for people like Wang Yi to use all kinds of means to score points, playing until the last second."
After sending this message, Smith sat on the sofa with satisfaction.
I secretly said in my heart: Wang, I'm sorry, I won't be able to make money if I don't cheat on you, I'm sorry.
Sure enough, when he posted this message, Twitter immediately exploded.
"It is undeniable that Wang Yi did score points in the last quarter. But this cannot deny his strength. If it were someone else, would he be able to score 100 points if he was given a chance to score points?"
"Chamberlain's 100 points were finally scored, and the game was extremely ugly starting from the third quarter. In order to stop Chamberlain, the opponent kept fouling Chamberlain's teammates and sent them to the free throw line. And Chamberlain's teammates
In order to help Chamberlain win the ball, they also kept fouling each other. That's not what they were doing? But can you deny his greatness?"
