In the end, Danny did not accept the post-game sideline interview.
The sideline interview was given to Wang Yi.
But he still held the press conference.
As a guy who helped the team chase points with Wang Yi in the most critical three minutes tonight, and finally hit a quasi-win to eliminate the Clippers, how could he not be allowed to attend the press conference?
After all, this is not Wang Yi’s final say.
Who attends the press conference is determined by the performance of the game.
But this time when attending the press conference, Wang Yi did not let Danny solve the problem alone.
Some reporters asked tricky and weird questions, and Wang Yi would answer them for Danny.
Sometimes Wang Yi will give Danny hints.
He had done some research on Danny and knew that Danny did have social phobia.
Whether in elementary school, high school or college, his only friend was basketball.
His life is very simple, just training and playing ball, with almost no other activities.
He was even reluctant to participate in the draft because he knew that after joining the NBA, he would face more media and fans, which was something he was very afraid of.
In the end, it was with the help and support of his father that he made up his mind to participate in the draft.
After coming to the Kings, the boss also took great care of him, which made him feel a warmth in the team that he had never felt except with his father.
He used to be called "weird", "autistic" and "Shrek" at school.
All his classmates and even some teachers were avoiding him.
After joining the team, his teammates didn't pay much attention to him at first, only the boss kept encouraging him.
Helped him integrate into the team.
Apart from his father, the boss has become the person closest to him.
After Wang Yi understood this, he decided to slowly help Danny get over the problem of social fear.
So now he started to help Danny slowly at press conferences, instead of just throwing him to the media and ignoring him like he did at the beginning.
For people with social anxiety, you have to slowly help them get familiar with society and make friends with various people, instead of just throwing them into society and leaving them to fend for themselves.
This is also where the current Wang Yi grew up.
…
After advancing to the Western Conference Finals, Wang Yi finally fulfilled his bold words at the beginning of the season.
Leading such a Kings team to the Western Conference Finals is enough to illustrate Wang Yi's leadership ability.
This also made everyone in the Kings team sincerely admire Wang Yi.
Owner, coach, player.
They know the strength of their team best.
With such a team, it is probably impossible for anyone else to lead them to the Western Conference Finals except James at his peak.
And Wang Yi did it.
In this second round of the series, Wang Yi averaged 54.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 11.9 assists, 5.5 blocks, and 5.7 steals per game.
He has done everything he can.
To exaggerate, he almost single-handedly dragged the team into the Western Conference Finals.
This also blocked the mouths of many, many black people.
Of course, the black men are black in everything, and there is no black spot that they cannot find.
The Kings have traveled far west, and they can also find black spots.
"I was abused by the Warriors even after I entered the Western Conference Finals."
"The consequences of being swept by the Warriors."
"Are you going to the Western Conference Finals to be severely beaten by the Warriors? The Warriors will help you."
But Kings fans are very open-minded.
With the current strength of the Kings, in addition to Wang Yi's super performance, they were able to break through to the Lakers, and luck was also on their side.
During Game 7 of that game, the Lakers' most accurate player, Melo, was injured.
The victory over the Clippers was due to the poor performance of the Clippers' dual-core team.
Pickled peppers are like gods and ghosts.
Although Leonard's performance was okay, it was not as good as his performance in the first round.
And the Clippers also gave up Batum.
If Batum of the Clippers had not been reimbursed for the season, the Kings might not have been able to play Game 7 at all.
So the Kings players have their mentality right.
In the Western Conference Finals, they will face the Warriors, who have a strong lineup and almost no shortcomings.
The Warriors have 63 wins and 9 losses in the regular season this season.
If Klay hadn't been injured and unable to play in the past two months, the Warriors would probably be at the top of the Western Conference.
Even the team with the best record in the league.
It's almost impossible for the Kings to beat them.
Therefore, the mentality of Kings fans is that if they can win a game, they will make a profit.
The slogan shouted by the fans is: "If you win, you will gain blood, if you lose, you will not lose."
…
At the same time, during the days when Wang Yi participated in the second round of the series, the NBA’s investigation team has been testing Wang Yi’s urine samples at any time.
Tested a total of 5 times before and after.
In the end, all the results proved that Wang Yi did not take any doping.
Although the anti-fans were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to do anything about it.
On the morning of the second day after the Clippers were eliminated, Wang Yi and the team were planning to fly back to Sacramento.
But Nicole called: "Wang, Lawyer Luo asked me to tell you that the second hearing will be held at 3 pm the day after tomorrow at the Los Angeles City Hall, so you can be prepared."
Wang Yi frowned slightly when he heard this.
The other players and the head coach also frowned after hearing this.
The day after tomorrow is Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the Kings and Warriors.
And it just so happened that this game started relatively early.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Although it’s not far from Los Angeles to San Francisco by plane, it only takes 15 to 20 minutes.
But it takes more than 30 minutes to go from City Hall to Los Angeles Airport, and then from San Francisco Airport to Oracle Arena.
Coupled with a series of things such as changing clothes, I will definitely not be able to make it in time for the game to start.
Wang Yi asked Nicole: "Well, let me ask Lawyer Luo, can you move the hearing time forward by an hour? At least half an hour."
"Okay, I'll ask now."
Nicole hung up the phone.
Five minutes later, he called again: "Lawyer Luo has communicated with the hearing organization, and they said that this is a time that has been set long ago. It has been agreed with the hearing panel and various institutions, and it will be very troublesome if it is changed temporarily.
."
After hearing this, head coach Walton said: "The team will communicate with the league to see if the game can be postponed for half an hour."
But in the end the reply from the alliance was no.
The playoffs are basically broadcast live across the United States, and there are hundreds of TV stations around the world.
As the saying goes, one move affects the whole body. If the fight is postponed for half an hour, then the efforts of thousands of broadcast workers and thousands of media reporters may be in vain.
Wang Yi frowned for a moment after hearing this.
But it soon loosened up.
Turning around to look at all his teammates.
His eyes were full of determination.
"As long as you persist in the first quarter, I will lead you to win this victory."
All teammates looked at Wang Yi's firm gaze and felt extremely at ease in their hearts.
In the past, as long as Wang Yi looked at them like this and made promises to them, he would definitely do it.
When Wang Yi once said that the Kings’ goal was to reach the Western Conference Finals, this was the look in his eyes;
Wang Yi had the same look when he said they could beat the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.
Chapter completed!
