, why is he lagging behind?
As a rookie this season, Joel Johnson has averaged 33.9 points per game in the past month.
Especially in the four games where the Clippers made a huge comeback, they scored 45 points, 39 points, 48 ​​points and 57 points respectively.
And in the last two consecutive games, they not only scored high scores, but also scored key goals at the last critical moment.
In this game with 57 points, he even beat the Nets at the buzzer.
In that game, Paul George rested and Leonard was sidelined due to injury.
He scored a triple-double of 57 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, single-handedly saving the Clippers.
Therefore, he also became the Western Conference Player of the Month.
His popularity lasted forever.
Although Wang Yi’s performance this season is averaging 33.5 points, 15.7 assists and 9.7 rebounds per game.
He almost averaged a triple-double per game.
But people have become accustomed to his efficiency. Now that a new star suddenly appears, the popularity will naturally be with the new star.
The official promotional poster for this game is Wang Yi vs. Joel Johnson.
The game is played at the Golden 1 Center, home of the Kings.
Players from both teams attended a press conference before the game.
At the press conference, Joel Johnson looked very flamboyant.
No matter from his golden clothes, thick golden chains, high-profile golden sunglasses, or his speech and behavior.
They all reveal two words, publicity.
Three words, Zhang Yaoyang.
A reporter asked: "The Clippers will face the Kings in this game. Do you have any plans or expectations for this game?"
Joel Johnson raised his chin: "My expectation is simple, to beat the Kings."
When the reporters saw the news, they quickly continued to fan the flames and asked:
"This game will most likely be a showdown between you and Xinke FM VP Wang Yi. Do you have any plans or expectations for this?"
Joel Johnson raised his chin again: "My expectation is very simple, to defeat Wang Yi."
Even though the head coach at the side door kept making gestures to Joel Johnson, telling him to keep a low profile, he was still young and energetic.
How can young people not be angry?
What's more, he is the Western Conference's Player of the Month this month, and he just contributed a game-winner.
He was even more arrogant to the extreme.
Reporters continued to fan the flames: "So who do you think is more powerful, you or Wang Yi?"
Joel Johnson laughed: "Is this your first day as a reporter? How could you ask such a childish question? Who is more powerful, Wang Yi or me? Needless to say, who scored more than 25 points four times in a single month?"
Has Wang Yi ever achieved a reversal? I only entered the league a few years later than him, otherwise there would be nothing like Wang Yi today."
Leonard and Paul George next to him were frowning at this time.
The two of them had seen Wang Yi's violence before.
This kid was irritated without any restraint. Wang Yi's game was going to be difficult.
When domestic fans saw this interview, they all cursed.
"This guy is too crazy, don't let him brag."
"I'm sorry, my dog ​​was not leashed and I scared you all."
"I really can't wait to go up and slap these two big mouths! Is four big comebacks of 25 or more points a big deal? Have you ever done it with one of our brothers scoring 102 points in a single game? Have you ever done that with one of our brothers having 5 doubles?
?Okay, 5 pairs is a bit difficult for you, but what about 4 pairs? Our first brother has done it 5 times today, have you done it once?"
"102 points is too difficult for him. Has he ever achieved 82 points? 82 points are too difficult. What about 70 points? What about 60 points? Why are you bragging here?"
In the Kings locker room, the players naturally watched this interview, and their eyes fell on Wang Yi.
But he saw Wang Yi wearing his shoelaces unhurriedly.
Those old players who are familiar with Wang Yi, when they see Wang Yi like this, they know that this guy is definitely not as calm as he seems on the surface.
There will be something interesting to watch at the press conference later.
Fifteen minutes later, it was the Kings' turn to attend a press conference.
At the press conference, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times sports section asked Wang Yi.
And he got straight to the point when he started: "Did you watch the interview with Joel Johnson just now? What do you want to say about his remarks?"
Wang Yi shrugged: "Sorry, which Johnson are you talking about? Magic Johnson? Kevin Johnson? Or the beggar Johnson near my house?"
Reporter: "Joel Johnson."
Wang Yi shrugged again and shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know him. I do know a stripper named Joan Johnson."
Inside the Clippers locker room.
When Joel Johnson saw this interview with Wang Yi, he became very angry.
He has led the Clippers to comebacks of more than 25 points four times this month. He is the best player this month. In the last game, he scored 50 plus a triple-double and defeated the Nets.
Can Wang Yi not recognize him?
Wang Yi compared him to a beggar, so he tolerated it and compared him to a stripper.
It's absolutely heartbreaking.
At the press conference, the reporter immediately said: "This is Joel Johnson, the best player in the Western Conference this month. When we interviewed, he said that he is better than you. He said that he led the team to score more than 25 points four times in a single month.
Reversal, you have never done this before."
Wang Yi seemed to remember that there was such a person, but he scratched his head in confusion.
"There is a question I don't understand. Since he is so good, why is his team trailing by more than 25 points?"
As soon as this statement came out, the reporters at the scene burst into laughter.
Fans who saw this interview burst into laughter.
"Brother Yi, this is a word that will kill you."
"I can even imagine Joel Johnson being furious but speechless. What a good fight."
"Since you are so good, why does your team fall behind by more than 25 points four times in a single month? This is a paradox. From now on, we can call it the 25-point paradox."
"Look at our first brother, he has always been more than 25 points ahead of his opponents. There is no need to turn around."
In the Clippers locker room, Joel Johnson cursed Fake seven or eight times in a row.
"Fake, Fake, Fake, Fake..."
Neither Leonard nor Pickle were the type of players suitable to be bosses. When they saw their rookie teammates acting like this, they just shook their heads.
He didn't go up to comfort her.
In their opinion, this young man is indeed too crazy, so they should let Wang Yi teach him a lesson.
If the team's boss and second team members don't say anything, then the only coach is Tyronn Lue.
He patted Joel Johnson on the shoulder: "Basketball is about playing on the court, not off the court. If you are angry, let it go to Wang Yi on the court. Let him have a taste of your power..."
Tyronn Lue’s wave is a reverse chicken soup.
He knows that it is impossible for young people, especially young people with such extraordinary talents and talents, not to be crazy, so he must really suffer some hardships.
