Time flies, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
In more than a month, Sister Luo negotiated another endorsement contract.
50 million RMB in 3 years.
This finally greatly eased Wang Yi's current economic pressure.
April 10th.
Most teams across the league have played all 82 regular season games.
The Lakers only have their last regular season game left.
The Lakers currently have a record of 53 wins and 28 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference.
It's not that the Lakers' record is too bad, it's that this year's Western Conference is too wild.
There are three teams with more than 60 wins: the Warriors, Suns and Nuggets.
The Clippers also ranked fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 58 wins.
There is only one last game left.
The Lakers won and couldn't catch up with the Clippers in front;
Even if you lose, you can't be overtaken by the Lone Ranger behind you.
So for the Lakers, this is an irrelevant game.
For their opponent, the Eagles, this game is related to their playoff ranking.
Winning can get a better ranking.
If you lose, one player will be dropped and you will have to face the defending champion Bucks in the first round.
So the Eagles are determined to win this game.
In view of this situation, Vogel originally planned to rest all the main players of the Lakers.
But Wang Yi took the initiative to apply to Vogel to play.
The playoffs are coming soon, and he is really excited.
I haven't been able to sleep well these past few nights.
Just like a child looking forward to the New Year, he eagerly looks forward to the start of the playoffs.
If he didn't let him go up to relieve his anger in this game, he would probably have to suffer from insomnia again tonight.
Coach Vogel also learned about Wang Yi's situation and had no choice but to agree to let Wang Yi play.
He originally wanted to tell Wang Yi to just go up and move around. The opponent was obviously going to fight to the death.
If you get injured by your opponent for an inconsequential game, it would be too much of a loss.
But Vogel quickly gave up the idea.
Because if you say it, it will be in vain.
This guy Wang Yi went completely crazy as soon as he came on stage.
I can't hold it in at all.
He could only secretly make up his mind that Wang Yi would lose a few minutes in this game.
This is the home court of the Lakers.
Since fans knew before the game that James and James would not play, there were some empty seats in the stadium today.
Even actor Nicholson didn't show up at the arena.
However, this game is destined to make those who did not show up in the arena regret it.
The head coach of the Eagles is Nate McMillan.
There is another surprising thing about him.
In the 2009-10 season, when he was the head coach of the Trail Blazers, the team suffered serious injuries.
So much so that there are not even enough five people to play.
In desperation, the 45-year-old McMillan took the field with then assistant coach Monty Williams.
What a miserable word.
What's even worse is that just after playing this game, McMillan suffered a serious injury to his right Achilles tendon.
I wonder if there is any worse team than this?
In this game of the Lakers, most of the main players took a rest, so it was almost Wang Yi who was the main player and a group of substitutes.
Point guard: Caruso;
Shooting guard: Wang Yi;
Small forward: Kuzma;
Power forward: Morris, who has just returned from injury after resting for most of the season;
Center: Harrell.
This lineup, to put it bluntly...ahem, I won’t say anything else, they are basically at the mercy of others.
Kuzma, the tallest, is only 2.06 meters tall.
Power forward Morris is 2.03 meters;
Center Harrell is only 2.01 meters tall.
On the other hand, look at the Eagle.
Capela and Knight were sent, both of whom are 2.08 meters tall.
Coupled with Trae Young, Gallinari and other three, they all have excellent three-point touch.
This makes it clear that we are going to shoot and grab.
Three people from the outside shot, and two people from the inside rebounded.
I have to say that Eagles coach McMillan still has something.
This lineup is specifically for the Lakers lineup.
Many people speculated that there was no suspense in this game, so there was not much attention.
Tencent Video doesn’t even live stream.
The two commentators at the scene, the round-faced Bill McDonald and the square-faced Stu Lantz, were also a little down.
Even Shaq's grandma can do the commentary for a game that has no suspense at all. There is no need for them to appear.
So even though it was about to start, the two of them didn't talk about anything on the field.
Instead, I'm analyzing the playoff matchup three days later.
By ten o'clock in the evening, both sides had finished warming up.
Wang Yi looked at the stadium and found that one-third of the seats were empty.
However, he did not lose his fighting spirit because of the small audience.
Instead, he looked at Trae Young in the dugout diagonally opposite.
Trae Young has been in pretty hot shape in the last month.
Wang Yi has long wanted to fight him.
It's just that the two teams are in the East and West respectively. If they want to play against each other, they must both advance to the finals.
But for the Eagles, it is almost impossible for them to reach the finals.
So this game is the only chance to compete this season.
Not having fun with the three-point contest, let’s have another showdown in this game!
Trae Young also looked at Wang Yi from a distance.
He lost to Wang Yi in the three-point contest, and he has been holding back a lot of energy in his heart to win back on the court.
Today, this opportunity finally came.
Of course, he didn't think the Lakers could win this game.
So he feels that his competition with Wang Yi is based on personal performance.
His personal performance must be consistent with that of Wang Yi.
Finally, the time came to ten o'clock in the evening.
After the referee clears the court, he signals the players from both sides to come on.
The moment Wang Yi stepped onto the court, a system prompt sounded in his mind:
【Please host to sign in.】
"Sign in."
Wang Yi is already familiar with this.
【Sign in successfully!】
[Sign-in reward: A pinnacle Kobe Bryant experience card]
Wang Yi has long been accustomed to rewards for signing in to the system.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but pause.
It’s actually the pinnacle Kobe experience card!
He quickly took a look in his mind.
[Peak Kobe Experience Card: After use, you will fully possess all Kobe’s abilities (including various technical movements, running and jumping abilities, speed, explosive power, flexibility, core strength, etc.)]
[Usage time limit: 48 minutes]
[Note: The shelf life of this experience card is 12 hours, please use it as soon as possible]
Seeing this, Wang Yi's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.
Being able to fully possess Kobe's ability is something that many people dream of possessing.
And today, now, as long as you use this peak Kobe Bryant experience card, all of this will become a reality.
There was just one thing that he wasn't satisfied with.
Why not give yourself such an incredible reward in an important game of the playoffs?
Instead, choose such an inconsequential regular season game?
And it must be used in this game, it will be invalid after expiration.
Of course, the system will not answer him.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it.
Chapter completed!
