Under the guidance of Wang Yi, reporters began to ask questions to Barnes.
"Why were you so decisive on those last two shots?"
Barnes replied: "It's very simple, because I betrayed Wang Yi's trust in the front, betrayed the trust of my teammates and coaches, and I wanted to make up for it. So I voted very resolutely."
The reporters asked another question: "We saw that in the first half you only appeared for a short time in the first quarter, and then you never played again. Is there something wrong with your body?"
When Barnes heard this, his expression darkened: "My physical condition is very good. It's just some personal matters that I don't want to talk about."
The reporter did not delve any further.
"So what kind of leader do you think Wang Yi is?"
The reporter asked again.
Barnes turned his head and glanced, and Wang Yi said: "He is very strong, and his ability to lead the team is also very strong. It is obvious that the Kings cannot enter the playoffs without him, and the Kings cannot win against the Lakers without him. I am very happy."
I can cooperate with Wang Yi at the end of my career."
The reporter asked again: "The selection of this season's regular season MVP will be out in a few days. In the last voting for the MVP selection, Wang Yi ranked seventh. What do you want to say about this?"
Barnes shook his head and said: "What is there to say? When we voted last time, Wang Yi was still recovering from his injury. Now that he is back, he scored 102 points in the first game back. I think just
Based on this, the discussion about the regular season MVP should stop."
In fact, it is exactly what Barnes said.
Before Wang Yi was injured, the Kings were still ranked third in the Western Conference, and Wang Yi was leading the MVP list at that time.
But after the injury, the Kings fell all the way to tenth in the Western Conference.
Wang Yi's ranking on the MVP list has also dropped, and he was only ranked 7th in the last vote.
When Wang Yi returned, the regular season was over.
Logically speaking, the last vote is left.
The final vote will determine the regular season MVP.
When selecting mvp, one is based on personal data and the other is based on team record. Wang Yi naturally has nothing to say in terms of personal data.
But at the end of the regular season, the team's record was really poor.
He also entered the playoffs after two play-offs. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for him to be elected as MVP.
But Wang Yi doesn’t care much about this.
With his condition, even if he can't win the MVP this season, as long as he doesn't get injured next season, he will definitely win the MVP.
After the press conference, Wang Yi and Walton asked Barnes what went wrong.
At this time, Barnes' eyes were once again filled with tears.
He told his teammates: "Before the game started, I received a call. My brother was diagnosed with lung cancer... late stage..."
When everyone heard this, their faces became serious.
Wang Yi looked solemn: "Then...I will accompany you to the hospital right now."
Coach Walton also nodded: "I'm with you."
Other teammates wanted to follow, but the coach stopped them.
After all, it is a hospital, and it is not good to go there so late with so many people.
Another half an hour later, they arrived at Sacramento Central Hospital.
The three met Barnes' brother.
His mental state is very poor.
Barnes decided to stay with his younger brother that night - his younger brother had not yet married, and he was the only relative.
Wang Yi asked: “Do you want me to stay too?”
Barnes shook his head: "No, you and the coach both go back and prepare for the next game."
Wang Yi nodded: "If you need any help or money, just ask. We will hire the best doctor for him."
Barnes nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Wang Yi and his coach came out of the hospital, both of them were not in a good mood.
"King, no one knows which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident."
Wharton's voice was heavy.
Wang Yi looked at the bright lights in the distance and exhaled: "So we should cherish the present and live every day seriously."
…
In China, the news that Wang Yi blocked James' buzzer-beater hit the Internet again.
The Kings' first playoff win in 17 years also set the internet on fire.
At the same time, in the early morning of the second day in the United States, the news that Wang Yi blocked the shot of James also hit the Internet.
However, all of this has nothing to do with Wang Yi.
His goal is not just to have one game left, he wants to lead the team into the Western Conference Finals and slap everyone in the face.
Early the next morning, he completed his daily training accompanied by Nicole.
Now his daily training task is dribbling practice.
Continuous dribbling practice every day can make his dribbling more stable and his ball skills better.
You can look at those dribbling masters like Irving, the ball seems to be glued to their fingers.
It seems that no matter what kind of movement or speed you dribble, the ball will not fall.
After finishing his daily training, Wang Yi came to the Kings training facility again.
This time, a system mission came to his mind again.
[Training task: Practice footwork under the basket 1,000 times]
[Task reward: Improve the steps under the basket to the top level (refer to Olajuwon)]
Wang Yi was a little surprised when he heard this award.
Improve your footwork around the basket to the top level?
I am a 1.92 meter guard who has improved his footwork at the basket to the top level?
It is undeniable that the steps under the basket are indeed very important.
Sometimes it can even be very entertaining, just like Olajuwon's great dream.
If you have good footwork behind the basket, you can stagger your opponent.
But there is a premise. The steps under the basket must be used by a tall person for the best effect.
If a small player has been dangling under the basket for a long time, the taller player with long arms and big hands will cover you.
You're still dangling a piece of wool.
Of course, it is indeed useful for a little man to learn footwork, but it is rarely used in real combat.
So in Wang Yi's view, this step under the basket is not very useful.
But as the saying goes, if you have more skills, you don't have to stress yourself. Since the system has given you the steps to the basket, then complete this training task.
Maybe it can play a key role in certain rounds.
So he asked his personal trainer to act as a defender, and asked Nicole to pass the ball to him. He kept catching the ball under the basket, and then used his steps to shake the personal trainer and score a shot.
The personal trainer he now hires is also named James.
Will James.
This guy was once the main small forward in the NCAA.
He is very good at strength training, speed training and other aspects, and he also plays the ball very well. At least it is not difficult to beat the amateur masters.
Of course, when it comes to playing basketball, he is far behind Wang Yi.
Therefore, it is easy for Wang Yi to shake him with his steps under the basket.
Wang Yi dribbled the ball with an easy step up and down, passed him, and gently hit the board into the net.
In my mind, the system prompt sound came immediately.
Chapter completed!
