NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Those young players didn't seem to take this loss seriously at all.

Only Rose, with an anxious and worried look on his face at this moment.

Wang Yi secretly sighed.

Sure enough, young players are difficult to lead.

Veteran players know when to be loose, when to be tight, when to be happy, and when to be angry.

And these young players don't understand this at all.

He knew that even if he beat these players at this time, although they would look serious on the surface, they still didn't take it seriously in their hearts.

Under such circumstances, coupled with the disparity in strength between the two sides, how could it be possible to win the ball?

At this time, the outside of the Kings team was suppressed by public opinion, but inside the team, these players didn't take this defeat seriously at all.

This made Wang Yi frown all the time.

After returning to the rented room with An Jiali, Wang Yi kept thinking about the solution to this matter.

But until after 9 o'clock at night, he couldn't think of a very ideal solution.

After thinking about it, Wang Yi thought of a person.

Popovich, Mr. Pop.

So he picked up his mobile phone without hesitation and called Mr. Bo.

Immediately, Popona's voice sounded a bit old, but had a childlike naughty voice on the other end of the phone:

"Do you know how difficult it is for an 80-year-old man to fall asleep? How can you bear to disturb this old man who just fell asleep?"

Wang Yi smiled and said, "I'll give you a bottle of red wine to accompany you to get drunk some other day."

"That's good, you can sleep soundly after drinking wine. Wait for me, I'll go to the wine cellar to get a bottle of red wine."

While talking on the phone, I heard the sound of footsteps gradually leaving.

After a while, the sound of light footsteps approached from far away.

Then came the voice of Mr. Bo: "I guess you might call me. Tell me about the current situation."

It's easy to talk to smart people, and you don't have to go around.

Even sometimes you don't even need to say a word, he knows what you want to do.

Wang Yi exhaled and said, "What you see in the current situation is that we won three games in a row by a big score. Although we lost the fourth game, we only lost by 4 points."

"It seems that we have a great advantage. But it is precisely because of this that the young players in the team are too underestimated, and D'Antoni's many lectures are useless."

"After the loss last night, not only did they not have any heavy hearts, they were still fighting in the locker room one by one, as if they didn't take the Hornets seriously at all."

"Continuing like this, the fifth game will have to be lost."

"If you really can't compete with hard power, there is no way. But if you lose because of underestimating the enemy and mentality, then it is really unacceptable."

"So I would like to ask the old man how to adjust their mentality. You have led the Spurs for 35 years and are very experienced in leading the team. How did you adjust?"

Mr. Bo heard Wang Yi's words and said:

"The situation is similar to what I expected. As for the solution, you have already mentioned it just now."

Wang Yi was puzzled: "Have I already said that?"

Mr. Bo obviously took a sip of red wine, and then continued:

"That's right, think carefully about what you said just now?"

Wang Yi recalled what he said just now, and finally locked on a sentence:

"Have to lose the fifth game?"

Mr. Bo laughed, looking very happy: "Exactly!"

After only saying these two words, he didn't continue, but gave Wang Yi time to think.

And he was sipping red wine unhurriedly.

Wang Yi thought for a moment and said:

"You mean to let us lose the fifth game strategically, not only to lose, but also to lose by a big score. Only in this way can these players pay attention, can they deeply realize the huge gap in strength between the two sides, and can Can you make them completely put away their contempt?"

Mr. Bo clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "It's easy to talk to smart people. Given the strength gap between your teams and the players' mentality of underestimating each other, if you play normally, it will be very difficult for you to win the fifth game. Even if you try your best, there is a high probability that you will lose in the end.”

"Instead of this, you might as well give up strategically. Of course, this strategic giving up can only be known to you, not to the players, otherwise it will have no effect."

"Giving up strategically and losing by a big score will not only arouse your players' psychological attention, but also make the Hornets relax their vigilance, and may even make their players feel underestimating the enemy."

When Wang Yi heard this, his heart moved slightly:
"OK, but I'm still worried. If the players' morale is destroyed by a big loss in this game, then the sixth game may still be difficult to play."

Mr. Bo said: "It is much easier to stimulate a person's morale and boost his morale when he is depressed than to destroy his morale when he is complacent."

Hearing this, Wang Yi pondered for a moment:
"In fact, I don't think it is too early to determine the strategy of giving up strategically, but to look at the game status of the two sides first after coming up. If our game status is not good and their status is hot, then strategically give up."

"On the contrary, we can't give up, but we should try our best to win the game. Of course, if our state and their state are equally good or bad, then we should still give up the game."

Popovich nodded: "You're right, that's exactly what I meant."

"There is one more thing you need to pay attention to. If you plan to give up the game strategically, you should save your physical fitness."

"Just a little less time to play in Game 5, just a little less."

"You should put all your physical energy and energy into the sixth battle. Note that you should regard the sixth battle as your last battle."

"If you can't win the sixth game and put it in the tiebreaker, with the overall strength of your team and the physical condition of you and Derek, then it will be very difficult for you to win the seventh game."

Wang Yi nodded when he heard this.

In fact, he also realized what Mr. Bo said. As Mr. Bo said before, it will be harder for the Kings to win as time goes on.

It's like two people with a huge gap in strength playing.

If only one ball is played, maybe the weaker player just hits one ball and makes it, then he wins.

And if the battle is extended to 3 balls, 5 balls, 10 balls or even thirty or fifty balls.

Then the possibility of the weaker party winning will become smaller and smaller.

Therefore, the Kings should fight quickly instead of protracted.
