You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 149

It's just a matter of time for the masters to compete with each other. Earl Boykins' speed makes it difficult for Wei Xia. At the same time, his physical fitness and body advantages also make the former, who is the least advantageous in the league, secretly anxious.

Wei Xia doesn't attack very much, as long as he holds the ball, it is enough to make Boykins nervous.

In the first 2 minutes of the second quarter, Wei Xia made balls for Odom and Brian Cook respectively.One of them went to the basket for a layup, and the other hit a three-pointer from the outside. His assists reached 4 times.

Boykins flashed only one possession.

In that round, he called Kenyon Martin's pick-and-roll, but he didn't break through in the direction of the pick-and-roll, but had super confidence in his cutting ability. He did have reasons for confidence.The speed beyond the norm made Wei Xia lose his qualifications to defend him before he could react for a moment.

Cook and Odom's help defense did not keep up, using the advantages brought by their height and wingspan to force Boykins to hit the board high.

The goal was scored, and the cheers at Denver's Pepsi Center were like roaring waves on the beach.

"Visa, you have to switch defenses with Smush, that little pudding is too fast!" Odom reminded.

Wei Xia didn't want to switch defenses, but it was Zen Master's decision to face Boykins, and he couldn't switch without his orders.

"Do you have the authority to leapfrog command?" Wei Xia's question fixed Odom's smile.

He shook his head.

"Then let's discuss how to consume him on the offensive end."

Wei Xia has already determined that his defense is not good enough for Boykins, and it is difficult for him to accept this fact.Growing up, he relied on defense to gain a foothold.

From high school to college, tall, short, fat, and thin, he has played against all of them. In the first NBA game, he met a freak who was strong enough to hold his defense and so fast that he couldn't react.

This is the gap between the NBA and the NCAA.

Put it in the NCAA, Boykins may be the absolute ace of a college team, but in the Nuggets, he is just a disruptor under certain circumstances, playing a 20-minute variation machine every game.

Odom supports Wei Xia's idea. Therefore, when the triangle offense is opened, he and Wei Xia stand on the weak side, and the other three stand on the strong side.

Parker still wanted command, but Odom gestured him to leave.

Then, others stood in a high position and passed the ball to Wei Xia hand in hand.In order to prevent Wei Xia from using his body to force Boykins, Kenyon Martin, who came out with Odom, faced Wei Xia.

As the first NBA No. [-] pick in this century, Martin did not disappoint his pick.

In the 2000 draft, there were not many players who were like individuals, and Martin was one of the best.Although the evaluation is not as high as that of Michael Reed, who counterattacked in the second round, for an athletic forward who suffered an ACL injury in college, his performance is worthy of being the first pick of the year.

Seeing Martin, Wei Xia dribbled the ball in his hands and accelerated under his feet. He wanted to get rid of Martin with his speed advantage.Martin is not an easy guy, his defense is tough, and his pursuit is fierce. His defense against Wei Xia is already perfect.

The two entered the penalty area together, Wei Xia received the ball, grabbed the ball with his right hand like picking up an egg from a basket and swayed it to the outside line, making Martin think he had passed the ball.However, with such a powerful swing, the ball is still attached to his hand. In addition to proving that his palm has absolute control over the ball, it also makes Martin's defense lose focus.

Martin made way sideways, and Weixia scored an easy layup.

The first game of his career, the second shot in 5 minutes, hit the board.

Wesha nodded to Martin before turning to leave.

Today is the first time they meet, they have never known each other before, and they have no nodding acquaintances.Wei Xia's nod was purely because Martin's "humility" on the defensive end made him lucky to put the ball into the basket.

From Martin's point of view, Weixia's nod afterwards was purely superfluous.

In order to prove that he has no so-called humility, in the next round, he bullied Odom's poor defense, put Boykins on a fake pick-and-roll and ran to the basket.

Boykins' line of sight was blocked by Wecha, and it was difficult for him to pass the lob like other defenders.His method is to lean forward and hit the ground.

The specific operation is to pretend to probe to the left, and when Wei Xia responds, he hits the ground directly to the right and passes the ball.

Martin catches the ball, as is his style, ignoring Odom and Cook, who are weak in the help defense, and violently dunks.

After smashing the ball, Martin still roared and nodded to Wei Xia.

Odom watched Martin's confused behavior, served Parker and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"Meet you for the first time today."

"Then why did he nod to you after scoring?"

"Maybe it was just an accident?"

Odom thinks the real surprise was that he threw a back pass out of bounds after a climax offensively.

That was an accident. In order to make up for his mistake, Wei Xia flew out of bounds with the ball, jumped over the first row of seats in the Pepsi Center, and landed in the middle of the second and third rows of seats.

He couldn't get the ball back, but the level of his commitment was met with sparse applause.

"I don't think the Lakers will regret their decision. Wish may be able to fundamentally change the loose atmosphere of the Lakers."

"Yeah, and I'm sure Kobe would have hit it off with him."

Nuggets home announcer Chris Marlow said: "Many teams lack a Wish. They don't know when to work hard and fight hard. They just play day after day, like a machine, but in the end they are like office workers clocking in and leaving work every day. They have no fighting spirit, no goals, and only know how much money they have in their accounts."

Then, Wei Xia rarely kept up with Boykins' change of direction. The NBA's lower limit representative of the altitude who wanted to pass the defense in one step and then pass the ball received the ball.

Seeing him receiving the ball, Wei Xia's instinct, or the instinct from the old days, made him understand that the opportunity has come!

The opportunity in his eyes is that after Boykins receives the ball, he has the opportunity to use his physical advantage to press him.

Boykins didn't expect Wei Xia to be so courageous. He has fouled twice, and the away referee's eyes will zoom in on him. Any mistake will make the referee blow his whistle.

And Wescia only did two things against Boykins' close press.

The body is shrouded, completely blocking his sight. He is not in a hurry. The person who should be in a hurry is the opponent.There's no way he could be wrong, and if you put yourself in his shoes, Boykins is far worse off than he is.

Rich experience allows Wei Xia to force the seasoned Boykins to make mistakes without fouling. His pass is too hasty, as if he didn't take Wei Xia seriously.In fact, Boykins is not an arrogant person. Anyone who can play in the NBA who can't even reach 170 cm knows how high the sky is and how wide the ground is. His sloppy passing is definitely not out of his heart.

Wei Xia waved the ball to the ground. The next second, Boykins' body was knocked away by Wei Xia. Then, he lost the ball and watched the Lakers' No. 6 dribble the ball forward with his teammates.

"Show him (Show Time)!" Bynum and Weaver both jumped up at the same time.

Wei Xia ran into the free throw line with all his strength, one step, two steps, jumped up in the middle of the paint area, he exaggeratedly passed the ball under his crotch, and actually made an actual crotch change hand dunk in front of the audience.

BOOM!The goal was scored, and the boos suddenly broke out.

The fans thought he was too pretentious and regarded the game as a slam dunk contest. For a while, the treatment Kobe once enjoyed fell on him.

Good thing he's not like Kobe, he went to college, he played in stadiums with 80000 people, he's heard bigger boos than that.

When sitting off the court and listening to them booing Kobe, Wei Xia was very surprised. When the same booing fell on him, he had seen many battles and heard all kinds of boos. He had only one reaction: "It may be too arrogant to say so, but... that's all."

"What do you think this is?" Boykins ran back angrily, "Your show?"

"Isn't this your home stadium?" Wei Xia asked wonderingly, "Did I remember wrong?"

The more Boykins thought about it, the more angry he became. His mistake made the Lakers rookie prestige, and let him show off in front of the audience. Compared with Kobe's watery crotch dunk in the slam dunk contest that year, he was more qualified to get a full score.

How could he look so innocent?

Boykins seemed to have forgotten all about connecting the serve: "If you think this game is your show, I will make you regret it!"

"If my dunk made you feel uncomfortable, I express regret. However, unless the league stipulates that we cannot dunk on this field, your accusation is unreasonable. Apart from regretting your accusation, I can only refuse your series of unreasonable demands with a little shame."

Boykins was dumbfounded when he heard that. His teammate took the serve and dribbled a few steps to Boykins.

Suddenly, Wei Xia stepped forward, and he found that Boykins was addicted to trash talking and didn't pay attention to the pass.

The other party gave him opportunities one after another, and he couldn't turn a blind eye.

Boykins caught the ball. He didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, Wei Xia was standing at a close distance that could happen at any time, including kissing.

He didn't have room to dribble, or even put the ball on the ground. His body collided with Wei Xia, and his hands holding the ball lost control of the ball.

The basketball fell right in front of him and Wei Xia, and he took a few extra steps to stabilize his figure.

Beep beep beep!
The referees from the three directions sound their whistles simultaneously.

The referee who was closest to them turned his hand into a hot wheel, and told Boykins with the most clear meaning: You, walking violation!

The Nuggets immediately called a timeout.

Boykins clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was full of powerless rage.

Wei Xia faced his anger directly, as if he could feel the temperature in it, hotter than boiling water.

He doesn't mind boiling water with oil on top.

"You probably don't need to, but my upbringing forces me to say thank you. Thank you for the mistake, it means a lot to us."
