When Wang Yi came to the sideline, he felt his blood begin to boil.
It was as if all the blood in his body had surged into his chest and was still rushing upward, impossible to hold back.
He had rarely felt this way since the start of the season.
The passion and fire he used to feel on the court had become rare.
The Kings could almost always steamroll their opponents with ease.
Games like that only bored him.
But in today's game, there were two players on the other side who excited him.
One of them was Antetokounmpo.
You could say that these days, aside from Wang Yi, Antetokounmpo was the strongest player in the league.
And in the Playoffs, he seemed to have evolved all over again.
In this year's Playoffs, he was averaging 44.2 points and 15.7 rebounds per game.
When it came to scoring, he was even a tier above Wang Yi, who averaged 36.7 points per game.
And he was shooting 39 percent from three.
He had evolved across the board.
Many people called him the Ultimate Alphabet in this year's Playoffs.
Of course, Wang Yi faced weak opponents and had LeBron James and Paul helping him out. He didn't need to push himself often, so he could just casually take a few shots each game and call it a night.
But many people only looked at the stats.
Antetokounmpo's stats were more impressive than Wang Yi's in the Playoffs.
In fact, in the final game against the Heat, Antetokounmpo put up 52 points and 20 rebounds.
He had single-handedly terrorized the Heat's interior until they were crying for mercy.
So many fans and experts believed that Antetokounmpo was the one and only god of this year's Playoffs.
Wang Yi's performance had noticeably dipped
