569 Martyrs in their twilight years are full of courage
At this time, the audience at the scene was still reluctant to leave for a long time.
They are still unwilling to accept this reality.
The thick eyebrow had already turned around and returned to the locker room early.
He was in a bad mood and was not in the mood to hug and greet Kings players.
James originally wanted to go back to the locker room, but when he was about to enter the tunnel, he looked back at Wang Yi.
Finally, he turned around and came to the center of the court, keeping his eyes on Wang Yi.
Wang Yi knew that James was waiting for him, so he also came to the center of the field.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then hugged each other.
James punched Wang Yi's back with a little force of his fist: "Brother, it's really a pleasure to have a heart-warming battle with you."
Wang Yi said repeatedly: "Take it lightly, people will die."
James laughed: "You are still the same guy."
Wang Yi also smiled and said in Chinese: "Yes, I am still the same young man as before, without any change."
When Wang Yi listened to the song at the Lakers, James also listened to the song.
He laughed.
Then he solemnly said: "Brother, actually there is only one thing I want to say to you: the future is yours."
"No, stop it!"
Wang Yi immediately stopped James: "As far as I know, when you were young, an old guy said this to you. As a result, the old guy stole a championship from you. You are so cunning.
I'm talking about old guys like you.
James looked sincere: "I'm serious."
Wang Yi also looked serious: "I'm not kidding either."
"Wang, actually... I have a small request."
Wang Yi: “What?”
"I guess we can swap jerseys?"
Speaking of this, James's eyes showed a trace of the sadness of a hero in his twilight years: "You also know that I have often been injured in the past two years. Maybe one day... after this time, whether we have a chance to play against each other next time is a matter of course.
Unknown. So..."
When Wang Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be moved by it.
As a professional athlete, everyone has this day.
Don't look at today's riding of horses and spears, the spring breeze is proud;
One day, old age and strength will fail, and it will be impossible to drive.
Until then.
The autumn wind is sad and the autumn moon is cool.
Several romantic affairs turned into frost on the temples.
His blood is still not cold, but his body is leaning against a rusty gun.
Looking westward with turbid eyes, it was a blur.
Where is hometown?
Thinking of this, Wang Yi interrupted James.
"Stop talking, brother. I'll change!"
With that said, he took off his jersey directly.
James seemed to sigh faintly and took off his jersey, revealing his strong body.
From an ordinary person's perspective, this body is so strong.
Strong as a bull.
Under 40 years old, he is in his prime and still has a lot to do.
But as a professional athlete, his 20-year career has already overwhelmed his body.
His joints, muscle tissue, and blood vessels are all worn out due to excessive training and exercise, and his body will age faster than ordinary people.
Even though his body is different from ordinary people, by the age of 40, he has almost reached his limit.
Can he still average more than 20 points per game next season?
Can they still compete in a high-intensity competition like the playoffs?
It's difficult.
The reason why he hasn't retired yet is probably because he wants to break the regular season scoring record and wait for his son to enter the NBA and compete with him on the same court.
But his body is now suffering from minor injuries every month and serious injuries every year.
How long it can last is unknown.
The two held each other's jerseys and took photos.
This time, it seemed like a real handover between the old and new kings.
After exchanging players, James said to Wang Yi: "Your second round will be the day after tomorrow, against the Clippers, and it will still be at the Staples Center. If you don't go back to Sacramento, why don't you come to my house tomorrow? I have good ones there."
wine."
Wang Yi heard this and nodded: "Of course, I heard that the red wine you have there is not cheap. One sip can cost thousands of dollars."
James nodded: "No matter how good the wine is, it is more precious if someone shares it."
Then the two said goodbye.
James walked toward the tunnel.
Wang Yi looked at James's back and staggered slightly.
He is tired.
Too tired.
But what is more regrettable than being tired is that he is old.
There was once a saying circulating around the league about James - If he doesn't age, we will go crazy.
Now we are not crazy, but he is still old after all.
His neatly trimmed thick beard has been quietly dyed silver.
…
More than half an hour later, both sides finished taking a bath and held a post-game press conference in the Staples Center media room.
The visiting team was the first to attend the press conference.
Danny and Wang Yi attended today's press conference.
This time, reporters did not blindly pursue Wang Yi with questions.
After their flashlights flashed at Wang Yi for a while, they moved to Danny next to him.
Danny felt very uncomfortable with so many flashing lights.
To be honest, for someone with a bit of social phobia like him, attending a press conference is tantamount to dying once.
His head hung so low that reporters could hardly take pictures of his face.
At this time, a male reporter asked a question.
His first question was to Danny: "Danny, in the third overtime, you and Westbrook exchanged blows. Why do you have such confidence?"
When Danny heard this, he raised his head slightly, then lowered it again.
He turned around and glanced at Wang Yi with a look of help.
Wang Yi nodded.
Don't worry, I will help you.
Then he picked up the mineral water on the table, unscrewed the bottle cap, leaned back on the chair, and drank comfortably.
Danny was speechless.
Well, it seems that counting on the boss is no longer an option.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "I...I am not confident."
Everyone was stunned.
This answer is a bit confusing.
You exchanged blows with Westbrook on the court and made 6 of 8 three-pointers.
At first it was an open three-pointer, but later it was a forced shot against someone.
Are you telling me that you don't have confidence?
The reporter did not give up and asked: "What about the final buzzer-beater? After missing two shots in a row, you still didn't hesitate and hit the ball directly after receiving the ball for the third time. That definitely shows that you are extremely confident in yourself.
Performance. We know that in the six games before this series, you averaged less than 4 points per game. In the end, you were able to hit the buzzer beater. So why did you suddenly become so confident?"
Danny wrung his right hand with his left hand, his palms sweating.
After a moment, he replied: "Boss, he... made me confident."
As soon as he mentioned "the boss", Danny seemed to become braver immediately.
He turned to look at Wang Yi and continued: "In the third overtime, it was the boss who encouraged me. He told me that I could do it. When the whole world didn't think I could do it, the boss trusted me like this. This made me very encouraged.
.”
At this time, a beautiful reporter raised her hand and asked.
"Danny, the feeling of hitting a winning goal must be very wonderful. Can you describe it to us?"
Danny lowered his head when he saw that it was a beautiful reporter asking questions.
Most of my face was red.
Fortunately, being black, it's not so obvious.
After a long while, he said hesitantly: "Thank you, boss...Thank you, boss...This is how I feel."
All the reporters were stunned.
Finally, everyone turned to look at Wang Yi, who was drinking water.
Chapter completed!
