When a reporter showed this video of Pierce’s interview to Wang Yi.
After Wang Yi read it, he just laughed twice.
The reporter asked: "Wang, do you think Pierce is right?"
Wang Yi smiled: "Whether it's right or not, we'll see tomorrow night."
The reporter was a little speechless. He showed this video to Wang Yi just to stir up trouble.
But now Wang Yi is really too good.
He doesn't say harsh words easily.
There won't be any big revelations.
This is indeed the case.
After becoming the boss of the Kings, Wang Yi is indeed not as casual as before.
In the past with the Lakers, he was only considered the third-stringer at best.
A lot of what he said only speaks for himself.
But after he came to the Kings and became the boss, he had to be more careful with his words.
Because every word he says may represent the image of the Kings.
If you continue to talk nonsense as you did before, it may hurt the team.
Of course, he will still do it if he needs to do it harshly.
"What do you think your chances of winning tomorrow night's game are?"
the reporter asked.
Wang Yi turned around, looked at the reporter, and said seriously: "One hundred percent."
The reporter suddenly felt happy.
Sure enough, it came anyway.
"Are you so confident?"
Wang Yi nodded.
"Why play if you don't have confidence?"
The reporter turned around and reported Wang Yi's words with added detail.
"Wang Yi threatened that defeating Embiid would be easy."
As soon as this report came out, it did not cause any waves across the United States.
After all, Wang Yi's performance during the previous seven consecutive victories was really crazy.
Back to back 60;
40 seconds and 19 minutes;
50 for three games;
To say such words with such a performance is not really arrogant.
What's more, although the 76ers are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference, there is still a farce in their team about where Simmons will go.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed possible for Wang Yi to lead the Kings to overthrow the 76ers.
The report sparked outrage in just one city.
That's Philadelphia.
As the home team of Philadelphia, the 76ers naturally do not allow anyone to look down on them.
Philadelphia fan a: "If that Oriental guy dares to come to Philadelphia, let him crawl back crying."
Philadelphia fan b: "I thought they were invincible after winning a few weak teams. Embiid will teach him how to behave."
Philadelphia fan c: "Empeter will take off the crown of this false king. Let the world see his truth. He is actually just a clown."
…
Early the next morning, Wang Yi and the Kings had already flown to Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is one of the oldest and most historic cities in the United States.
Before Washington was founded as a city, it was the capital of the United States.
The famous Declaration of Independence was signed in this city.
It is also known as the City of Friendship.
However, a few years ago, a video of a hidden gentleman in an abandoned city was widely circulated on the Internet.
On Kensington Street in Philadelphia, there lived a group of homeless people.
All of them are skinny, with dark faces and thin muscles.
The behavior is very strange.
Occasionally I see these homeless people standing in the sun in groups, basking in the sun motionless.
It's like a living wax museum under the sun.
It looks weird and scary, just like a zombie in a zombie movie.
Today the street is overrun by rubbish, homeless people and asterisks.
That's why it's called Zombieland.
At the same time, after the City of Friendship, Philadelphia has a new title: Zombie City.
In the past few years, the Philadelphia 76ers, like the Timberwolves, were like Adou who couldn't be helped, being in the lottery every year.
Through continuous bad performance, in the past few years, they have selected three No. 1 picks and also accumulated a large number of rookies.
They finally completed the reconstruction from the year before last.
Under the leadership of star star Embiid, they entered the playoffs and achieved a good record.
Although Simmons' farce is still happening this year, Embiid is becoming more and more mature.
His dominance on the court was also demonstrated.
Averaging 26 points and 12 rebounds per game, it can be said that he completely dominated both offense and defense.
Coupled with the addition of two three-point shooters, Curry's younger brother Seth Curry and Danny Green, the 76ers have remained extremely competitive even after losing Simmons.
So their goal this year is still the championship.
Wang Yi and the Kings players arrived in Philadelphia at around 9 a.m.
Since the evening game is around 7:00 pm, the time is relatively early.
So the coach did not arrange training today.
The team discussed tonight's game in the hotel.
Head coach Walton summoned all players to the hotel conference room.
"If you have any opinions about tonight's game, you can discuss it."
Hield was the first to speak: "I think we can continue to play run-and-gun. Embiid is tall and powerful, and he is indeed very dominant at the basket, but he is too heavy, too tall, and has poor mobility in terms of mobility.
It's just a little bit worse. As long as we run and fight, his height and weight advantage can't be used."
Barnes tapped the table with his right index finger and said, "I agree. Avoid the enemy's edge and give full play to our strengths."
Bagley thought carefully for a moment and said: "If we stand still and fight, neither Holmes nor I may be Embiid's opponent. But if we run, he can't keep up with the speed of the two of us. So almost every time
In the frontcourt, as long as we shoot fast enough, it's equivalent to 5 on 4."
Wang Yi deeply agreed: "So we try not to delay the position battle tonight. Our shot time should be shorter, and it is best to end the attack within 7 seconds. As for the defensive end, everyone else can say it. Hield and I can defend the game separately.
Curry and Danny Green are two three-point shooters. But Embiid has to rely on Holmes and Bagley."
Coach Walton analyzed everyone’s opinions and finally said with a smile:
"It seems you don't need me as a coach anymore. Holmes, Bagley, it's up to you whether you can guard Embiid tonight."
Holmes and Bagley were entrusted with important tasks.
Both of them looked solemn: "Don't worry, coach."
At eight o'clock that night, Wang Yi and others entered the stadium.
The fans here are very active in watching football.
There is still half an hour before the opening, and the 20,444 seats at the venue are almost full.
When these fans saw Wang Yi in the field, they booed one after another.
"Pseudo King, tonight I want you to feel the fear of being dominated by JoJo."
"Does Jojo still need to take action? Danny and Seth can torture this guy until he doubts his life."
"Do you really think our Philadelphia team is as bad as the Rockets and Timberwolves? The third place in the Eastern Conference is not just a boast."
When Wang Yi heard the insults from the audience, he shook his head slightly.
Then he ignored them.
In the eyes of others, the 76ers, who are third in the Eastern Conference, are a strong team.
But in his eyes, without Simmons, the current 76ers can only be regarded as a single-core team.
Are single-core teams also called strong teams?
If there is a strong single-core team in the NBA, there is only one.
Chapter completed!
