NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 472 Playoffs

472 Next time, I will be back
After all teams in the league played 82 regular-season games, the Kings' record slipped to 10th in the West.

Must participate in two play-offs, and win all play-offs to qualify for the playoffs.

At the same time, Wang Yi's personal honor, the MVP of the regular season, is not favored at all at this time.

On the latest MVP ranking list.

Antetokounmpo ranks first;

James ranked second;
Embiid ranked third;
And Wang Yi has already ranked 7th.

Thinking about it, I haven't played a game for a month, and it would be a ghost if I can still rank first.

It is very rare for Wang Yi to rank 7th without playing a game for a month.

At this time, neither the professionals nor the fans think that Wang Yi can win the MVP.

After all, the regular season is over, and this is the last round of MVP voting for the entire season.

Basically, this round of voting can determine the ownership of the regular season MVP.

This season's regular season MVP is likely to be Antetokounmpo again.

At the same time, fans and reporters don't think the Kings can make the playoffs.

A team that failed to make the playoffs, how can anyone compete for MVP?

In this context, on April 4, the first play-off game of the Kings kicked off.

The rules for the playoffs are as follows:

No.7 will play against No.8, and the winning team will advance directly to the playoffs as No.7;
The losing team will play a second play-off.

No.9 and No.10 will play against each other, the losing team will be eliminated directly, and the winning team will participate in the second play-off.

In the second round of the playoffs, the winning team will play the playoffs as No.8, and the losing team will be eliminated.

In other words, if the current king wants to win, he must win both games.

The Kings' first opponent is the ninth-ranked Grizzlies in the West.

Wang Yi wanted to play in this game.

However, the doctor conducted a comprehensive examination of Wang Yi's right metacarpal bone.

"Wang, it is undeniable that your recovery from your injury has far exceeded my expectations. But you have not recovered to the point where you can play. If you insist on playing, your right metacarpal bone is easy to be injured. If you get injured again, no It may take half a year to recover in one or two months."

Wang Yi frowned tightly.

Although the system has shortened its recovery period from two months to one month, it has not yet reached the point where it can participate in NBA-level confrontations.

After being silent for more than a minute, Wang Yi asked, "Doctor Smith, with my current recovery speed, will I be able to play in two days?"

The doctor thought for a moment, and replied: "With your recovery speed, you should be able to participate in the game in two days, but you must control the playing time. And the chance of getting injured again is still very high. I suggest not to play."

Wang Yi frowned even tighter.

Finally, he made up his mind.

In the locker room before the game, he announced to the team: "As long as you win this game, I will definitely pay for the next game!"

The teammates looked quite surprised.

The team doctor once said before that Wang Yi's injury will take at least two months to recover. Now it's only one month, will he be able to come back?
Coach Walton shook his head: "Wang, your injury does not allow you to play in a short time. I know you are for the team, but I must consider your body and your entire career."

All the players don't think Wang Yi will really be able to play in the next game.

But Wang Yi glanced at it, and everyone solemnly repeated: "As long as I can win this game, I will definitely come back in the next game. I promise you all!"

All the players looked at Wang Yi at this time, and saw that his eyes were full of doubts.

Look into his eyes and you feel like what he's saying is 100% from the heart.

At the same time, this sentence also made everyone feel at ease.

Barnes took the opportunity to say to everyone: "Before no one thought that Wang Yi would come back this season, the future of our Kings seems to be cast a heavy shadow, but now that Wang Yi has promised, I believe he will definitely come back." Will come back. And what we have to do is to fight for this victory with all our strength!"

Barnes' speeches were always provocative.

Even the most common words, he can make people feel excited.

This may be related to his study of rhythm, sometimes music can affect people's emotions.

At this time, his few words made the young players excited.

"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely fight for this victory!"

Rookie Danny spoke first.

"Boss, that's great. As long as you can come back in the next round, I will fight for this victory even if I risk my life."

"Great, boss, as long as you can come back, our Kings team has a complete lineup and will definitely make a difference in the playoffs."

Hilde said.

"Of course, I said our goal was the Western Conference Finals, and that never changed."

Wang Yi's eyes shone brightly.

If ordinary people say that the goal of the Kings is the Western Conference Finals, it will definitely make people laugh.

A team that may not even make it to the playoffs is talking about the Western Conference Finals.

If the Western Conference Finals were so easy and easy to advance, veteran Paul wouldn't have played for more than ten years before reaching the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

However, now that these words came out of Wang Yi's mouth, all the team members were full of morale and their hearts were greatly excited.

Who is Wang Yi?

All the awesomeness that has been boasted has been realized one by one.

So as long as they win this game and Wang Yi comes back in the next game, they believe that Wang Yi will definitely lead them to make a difference in the playoffs. Even if they fail to make it to the Western Conference Finals, it will surprise everyone .

The blood of young people is hot and the easiest to boil.

At this moment, the morale in the entire locker room seemed to spill out of the locker room.

But in the eyes of the outside world, the Kings are not favored at all.

Without Wang Yi, they are a big team.

In terms of overall strength, it is far behind the ninth Grizzlies in the West.

Everyone predicted that the Kings would be completely sacked.

In the past 10 games, they have been hanged in 8 games.

This has become their norm.

However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

After the players of the Kings came on the court, it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Although the offensive end is still very average, but on the defensive end, each of them tried their best.

They seem to be desperate for every rebound and every possession.

Often rebounds with a 50.00% chance will be grabbed by the Kings.

The ball with a 50.00% chance will also be grabbed by the Kings.

Their defensive intensity seems to be full in an instant, which makes the Grizzlies very uncomfortable.

In the end, the Kings beat the Grizzlies 98:80 with 18 points.

In this game, they showed a spirit that has never been seen in this month.

The media and fans are speculating why the Kings suddenly had such a situation.

Only the insiders of the Kings know that all this is because of what Wang Yi said, he will come back in the next game.
