You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 148 I have seen this episode
The Nuggets replaced court-control guru Andre Miller with Earl Boykins, who stood just 5-foot-5 (165).A few years later, he will be introduced to fans on China's Baidu Tieba in this way: "If you don't watch the NBA, you don't know that this man's story is more exciting than any inspirational movie."

Wei Xia once lost hope for the NBA because of his height, but Boykins scored in the NBA with such a height, and has remained since 1999.

He is indeed a legend.

It wouldn't be fun if Phil Jackson asked him to guard the legend.

Short players tend to have lightning speed and super flexibility. Boykins is a combination of the two. He may be the fastest player Wecha has ever seen. No one can compare with him.

When Boykins moved on the court, everyone else on the court was not on the same frame rate as him.

His speed makes Kobe have to spend a lot of energy to run.

Jackson suddenly changed his mind. Half a minute before the end of the first quarter, he asked Wei Xia to switch to Boykins.

At that time, the score was 25 to 24, and the Lakers had only a 1-point lead.

The ball is in the hands of the Nuggets, and Boykins' change of direction made Wei Xia stunned for half a second before reacting. Fortunately, his size limited his offense.Even if he is one position behind, Wei Xia can interfere with his layup as long as he raises his hand.

The natural flaws brought about by his stature make Boykins more keen on threading needles when attacking, and fans rarely see him fight to the end.It's often watching him easily break through the defense, pass the ball hard, and squeeze the space out of the giant's confrontation to see if his teammates can return the ball to him.

Jackson's order to Wei Xia is to do a full-court press one-on-one.

Winter questioned: "Having 6-foot-5 Visa pressing 5-foot-5 Earl all over the court?"

With a height difference of 30 centimeters, Boykins can throw Weixia behind as long as he wants to.

Jackson seemed more confident than anyone: "He's going to find a way."

Letting Weixia defend Anthony, who is far stronger than him, can also be said to be his experience in training against stars.Now tell him to defend Boykins, who is 30 centimeters shorter?Either, Jakes is the number one Wei Mi on the planet, or he intentionally makes Wei Xia difficult.

Knowing that he can't defend, Wei Xia is still creating favorable space for his defense.

He tried to drive Boykins as close to the out of bounds as possible.

The calculation was good, but as soon as Boykins accelerated, the plan was completely messed up.

Wei Xia watched Boykins' body shoot forward like an arrow off the string, and his body unconsciously went up to fight.

Putting pressure on the ball holder is a veteran's benefit, not a rookie.

Wei Xia's pressure was called a foul by the referee.

With 24 seconds left in the first quarter, Wei Xia, who played only two and a half minutes, has already committed two fouls.

He is not a foul machine, nor can he not adapt to the NBA's whistling standards. The reason for the rapid increase in the number of fouls is extremely simple: he cannot guard his opponents.

Either as strong as a cow, or as fast as a horse, if you accidentally foul, the number of fouls can't be controlled.

For the first time, Kobe felt that Smash Parker had some value. If he was there, they wouldn't have to worry about Boykins so much.

Parker's height has no advantage over Boykins, but he is good, fast, and regards defense as his life.

Wei Xia's absolute speed is about the same as that of Parker, and he can't keep up with Boykins. Sometimes if he overtakes him all of a sudden, he can easily foul him if he can't control his hand.

Boykins was sent to the free throw line by Wecha himself.

Two free throws, both made.

26 is better than 25
The Nuggets took the lead, and the Lakers had 22 seconds left.

"Earl's flexibility on the offensive end troubles the Lakers. Similarly, he will be targeted by the opponent as a loophole on the defensive end."

Wesha was reminded of Chris Marlowe's concerns.

Kobe just wanted to take over the buzzer in the first quarter, but Wei Xia suggested that he come outside to get the ball, don't move around, don't ruin his plan.

Kobe looked at Wei Xia passing the ball to him hand in hand with a strange expression.

Boykins didn't want to guard against Kobe, nor Vujacic. Weixia, who seemed the most harmless to humans and animals, was his only choice.

He will regret his decision.

Wei Xia ran and stuck Boykins with his back. Kobe, who always liked to shoot the buzzer, decided to give Wei Xia the opportunity.

As the temporary master controller, Wei Xia didn't make a single shot in the past 3 minutes.

Phil Jackson treated Wei Xia as unreasonably as he treated the man who cuckolded him.

Kobe believes that Wei Xia needs to be taught a lesson.

He has only joined the Lakers for a few days, and he has challenged him more than once.If he doesn't take advantage of his rookie season to deal with such a thorny head, it will be difficult to deal with him as his seniority increases in a few years.

However, tidying up people is not such a method of tidying up.

Jackson asked Wei Xia to guard those he obviously couldn't guard.

Kobe has read this script, and he even starred in the first season.

I think Jackson wanted to trade Kobe Bryant for Kidd when he first arrived at the Lakers. Fortunately, Jerry Buss has insight, otherwise the pattern of every season in the 21s will be completely changed.

If Kobe couldn't be traded, he regarded the lone Kobe as an alternative and villain in the team.

When you need to scare chickens and monkeys, use Kobe to bleed.

When the big guys need to be united, a small video of Kobe is played in the meeting and then he tells Kobe in fierce words that he must pass more.

When you need to defend the opponent's arrow, Kobe is still on. It should be able to defend. Who told you to score the first defense when you were 22 years old?You are so powerful, who can't resist?If you really can't guard against it, it's definitely not your teammates' problem, let alone the coaching staff's problem, it must be your Kobe's problem, then I will point it out during the summary meeting to let you know that you are nothing special, don't act like the old lady is the second child and you are the third child all day long, the whole team behaves like the fourth child⑴.

The last person who was treated like this by the Zen master was Kobe himself.

He didn't understand, he just didn't understand why the Zen master did this.If he was a little selfish at the time, didn't like passing the ball, often wandered outside the system, and had conflicts with the Sharks because of training-he admitted all of these-the Zen Master suppressed him, and from another perspective, it maintained the Lakers' superficial peace.At least he had a very successful three years with the Sharks, but why would he do that to Wescia?
Wei Xia doesn't have those messy shortcomings, except that he likes to taunt others with five consecutive hairpin turns, his personal style, training attitude, and game temperament, there should be nothing bad about him.

Take the 3 minutes that Weixia has played so far.

For Anthony and Boykins, he did nothing wrong, and both fouls are force majeure.The offensive end also fed him two strikes, which was a perfect debut.

Kobe recognized Wei Xia's dedication, so when Wei Xia wanted to complete the buzzer attack in the first quarter alone, he did not give birth to the big idea of ​​"I should shoot the buzzer".

Kobe tried to be considerate of the teammates around him, which is completely different from him in the past.

Wei Xia was very lucky to be the first teammate who was understood by Kobe.

Behind him, Boykins was like a warrior from the dwarf kingdom, with a difference of two or three grades in height and weight, but he still refused to admit defeat.

The opponent was a hero, and the moment Wei Xia received the pass, Anthony's turn around that threw him behind him suddenly appeared in his mind.

Then, the footwork of Kobe Bryant's beautiful low-post turnaround jumpers appeared in his mind.

What can be done to combine the unique skills of the two low-level masters?
Wei Xia's mind was dizzy, and he didn't know how to start and how to end.

He just relied on instinct and used his body to envelop Boykins.He found that Boykins' body couldn't make any resistance under his confinement, suppressed by absolute strength, turned around together, and threw the opponent from the correct defensive position behind him.

Wesha dribbled the ball, got rid of the defense, and attacked the penalty area. Facing the paint area where Marcus Camby and Kenyon Martin were stationed, he jumped up, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and swung it up exaggeratedly, ignoring the bodies of the two rim protectors, as if only violence remained in the out-of-order world.

Boom!
The defense of the restricted area that the Denver Nuggets are proud of turned into dust under his one-handed heavy dunk.

"Visa scored the first goal of his career in the most perfect way!"

"Amazing dunk, we will definitely see this goal again on today's top ten list!"

Wei Xia's low-post turnaround to get rid of the defensive basket and break through the dunk of two insiders made the Lakers' bench excited. Bynum and Weaver, one like a frightened fat girl covered her lips in disbelief, and the other looked like a drunk guitarist playing the guitar empty-handed.

They are undoubtedly the MVP of the bench.

Wei Xia's dunk gave the Denver people 1 second to shoot.

Of course, it is impossible to make a long shot from 20 meters away.

27 is better than 26
2 points, 2 assists and 2 fouls. In less than 4 minutes of playing, Wei Xia handed over a not-so-bad stat.

"That's a good step." Kobe was about to encourage Wei Xia.

Wei Xia, who had completed the astonishing move, didn't seem to know what happened. He controlled the frequency of his breathing and asked, "What steps?"

They returned to the court together, Jackson replaced Kobe, who played the first quarter, Wecha went to the three position, Smash Parker and Luke Walton and Lamar Odom and Chris Mihm played.

A round of ups and downs, the second quarter of the game is about to begin.

The good news is that Anthony has been replaced, the bad news is that Boykins is still there, and Jackson doesn't seem to want Parker to guard him.
