Wang Yi knew this King of the Mountain Battle would be a tough one.
As he walked toward the center circle, he turned to his four teammates and said,
"Brothers, this is going to be a hard-fought game. I need your help to win it!"
Bond was the first to answer. "Don't worry, boss. We embarrassed ourselves enough last game. We won't make the same mistakes again!"
Tures was just as determined. "Don't worry, boss. We're all playing today with one goal: to redeem ourselves. We won't let you down."
Rose glanced at Wang Yi and simply nodded.
He was a man of few words, and as a veteran, he didn't need to say much to Wang Yi.
One look was enough.
With his brothers backing him up, Wang Yi felt his confidence surge and his fighting spirit burn even brighter.
Wang Yi's stamina was now at 60% of its peak.
His speed was at 80% of its peak, and his vertical leap was also at 80%.
Even so, he was taking this woefully weak Kings team up against the ultimate team in the Spurs.
Wang Yi couldn't claim victory was guaranteed, but his fighting spirit was undiminished.
And the stronger the opponent, the more fiercely Wang Yi fought.
Bond had secured good position before the opening jump and kept a close eye on the opposing center, Ali.
As a result, he won the ball without much trouble.
Rose was starting at point guard today.
When Wang Yi saw the Kings had possession, he sprinted upcourt.
In the previous few games, Wang Yi had usually taken the ball on the first possession and pushed the fast break. The Spurs were ready for that this time.
So Wang Yi couldn't get the fast break going.
Rose dribbled slowly over half court.
