You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 154
"Looks like you're not ready."

When Weixia walked off the field, Phil Jackson gave him a high five and said.

Is he ready to go up against the best swing forward in the league in 90 seconds?There is indeed a certain degree of difficulty.This is only his second NBA game, and he has every reason to explain his anomaly.

Jackson's expression convinced Wei Xia that what the other party expected was not an explanation or a reason, but that he was ready to satisfy the head coach at any time, or as happened just now, he didn't play well, maybe that's what Jackson wanted, who knows?No one knew what he was thinking.

Wei Xia was replaced, and Weaver graciously offered a dry towel.

He was so thoughtful that he used this method to remind Wei Xia that he didn't even sweat for 1 minute and 30 seconds of playing.

"You didn't really offend the coach, did you?" Weaver asked cautiously.

"Maybe, maybe you're right." Wei Xia said uncertainly, "I might have really offended him."

Bynum asked curiously and dignifiedly: "How did you offend him?"

"The biggest problem is that I don't know where I offended him." Wei Xia leaned on the cold bench, watching Kobe leaning back with another cool move, and this time he scored.

Judging from the confrontation with Kobe on the training ground, Wei Xia believes that Kobe was severely restricted by the triangle offense in the game.

Jackson needs someone to string the system together.

During the Bull period, there were Jordan and Pippen. During the OK period, the combination of the two inside and outside was very reasonable.At this time, for the Lakers, Kobe was both offensive and defensive. Although Odom had a coquettish pass and an outstanding overall view, he couldn't become Pippen next to Kobe.

His instability is too great.

After the Lakers went through a complex game of hitting irons, turnovers, and throwing offensive rebounds, Kobe took the ball to the basket, causing fouls by the Suns, who were not strong at all.

The inside line may be the sun's biggest Achilles' heel.

They have no pure center, Stoudemire was reimbursed for the season, and they were forced to use three swing forwards to increase and deepen the thickness and depth of the frontcourt.

It is not enough to do so, at least Kobe dared to rush.

He also made all the free throws after causing the foul.

Then the two sides entered a tug of war.

Every time the Suns score three points, the Lakers must return two points.

Smush Parker once again became Kobe's good helper. Although he didn't help on the offensive end, he gave Nash a certain amount of pressure on the defensive end, allowing Nash to score only 3 points in a single quarter.

Nash's offense was limited, and he only hit one three-pointer in the whole quarter.

The sun's offense and his organization are not out of touch.No matter how tough Parker's personal defense is, the Suns can break it with just a pick-and-roll.

Therefore, Nash, who was limited to only 3 points in a single quarter, sent 6 assists.

With 47 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 28-31.

The Lakers trailed the Suns by 3 points. At that time, Nash was about to go to the free throw line, and Jackson took the opportunity to make a substitution.

Bryant, who scored 9 points on 6-of-17 shooting in a single quarter, and Smush Parker went to rest together, and Jackson called out Wescha and Weaver from the bench.

"Wish gets Coach Jackson's call again."

"At the same time, another rookie of the Lakers, Vaughn Weaver, will make his first appearance in the regular season of this season!"

Weaver was wearing No. 12. He wanted No. 1, but that jersey was chosen by Parker.Normally, No. 1 belongs to Weaver.He joined the Lakers according to the normal draft and signed with the team in July, before Parker came.Parker was picked up by Jackson in the free market. As a result, when Reaper asked for No. 7, Weaver, as a second-round pick, had a low status on the team. Naturally, it was impossible to compete for jerseys with players who were valued by the head coach, so he changed to No. 1.

"Wish, I'm a little nervous." Looking at Weaver's sweaty forehead, trembling lips, unconfident eyes and soles of his feet constantly rubbing the floor, no one knows how nervous he is.

Probably more nervous than Weixia's first attempt to kill the St. Louis Hawks last night.

"Are you sure?" Wei Xia asked.

Weaver nodded worriedly.

"Let me teach you a way to decompress." Wei Xia said.

"What way? Say it quickly."

"Put your hands up like the French."

"You want me to surrender?"

"No, just hold it up."

"and then?"

"Close your eyes and relax."

The Suns were about to make free throws, but what Weixia and Weaver did took away the attention of the audience.

"What are you doing?" Tex Winter's roar was delayed, and soon, it suddenly fell on the two rookies.

Wei Xia and Weaver ignored them.

"Yes, take it easy." Weaver completely believed in Wei Xia.

Wei Xia made sure that Weaver was completely relaxed, and suddenly stretched out his hands, poking at Weaver's relaxed armpit.

"Woooooooooooooooooooo~~~~!!!"

Weaver's screams made the referee come to find out.

"Why did you do this to me?" Weaver stroked his trembling armpit, not knowing why Wei Xia did this to him.

Wei Xia continued to say, "If you're still nervous, we can do it again."

Weaver slipped away quickly, and Weisha told the referee that there was nothing he needed to maintain here, and that he and Weaver were all right.

Due to their little drama, the Suns' free throw was delayed by nearly 1 minute.

Nash's hand felt a little cold, and he rarely missed the first free throw.

The second free throw was adjusted back and hit.

32 is better than 28
With 47 seconds left in the first quarter, the Lakers' lineup on the field was Wecha, Weaver, Luke Walton, Odom and Brian Cook.

Odom served the ball, running at the same speed as Wei Xia: "If they let someone other than Nash defend you, give me the ball, and you just run."

"What if Nash guards against me?"

"Fuck him!" Odom said bluntly.

Perhaps Wei Xia's 1 minute and 30 seconds in the opening game reduced the impression points too much, and the Suns actually made Nash and Wei Xia face each other.

Seeing their matchup arrangement, Odom called the shots and let the four Lakers players, including himself, all pull apart.The most flexible point of the Lakers' current lineup is that everyone can shoot three-pointers. The four of them are drawn beyond the three-point line to create the most superior shooting space for Wecha.

Wei Xia was in control of the ball, and suddenly found that the movement of his teammates had won him a large offensive space. He immediately changed hands and dribbled the ball, officially sending out an offensive signal.

Nash didn't seem to read it.

Wei Xia dribbled the ball with his left hand and rushed forward at high speed. Nash followed.Nash's positioning can be regarded as sophisticated, and there is only so much he can do.Nash moved laterally to block Wei Xia's first shot, but Wei Xia's pace with his back turned and wiped into the basket was something he couldn't resist.

Zodiac's defense allowed Wei Xia to easily pass by, and then lightly tossed the basket to score.

30 is better than 32
"That's right, it's easier for Visa to hit Steve than Kobe to hit me!"

The moment Wei Xia succeeded in singles against Nash, Bass Jr. jumped up from the sofa: "Does Phil know more about football than me?"

"Jim, don't get too excited. Under normal circumstances, the Suns would not let Steve guard Wish." Kupchak was worried about what the old man would say to the media after the game.

The more he talked, the more unfavorable Wei Xia's situation in the team became.

If he were Jackson, he would suspect that Wei Xia put pressure on the media through Bass Jr.After all, no one wearing the Zijin jersey knows that Wei Xia belongs to Little Bath.Isn't it suspicious that Bass jumped up and down just after a game in the regular season?
It is a pity that it is not easy to think of this level with this master's IQ.He is the designated successor of Old Buss, and he also regards himself as the future master of the Lakers, and never puts Zen Master and others in his eyes.If it wasn't for last year's tossing and breaking the record of the Lakers' consecutive playoffs, it is estimated that the Lakers are still under his control.

"Mitch, would you normally ask Visa to guard against that ugly monster?" Little Buss said angrily, "That old shameless man just wanted to tell Visa in this way: I can make you play comfortably, or I can make you feel uncomfortable."

It was at this time that Nash assisted James Jones to score a mid-range shot.

34 is better than 30
17 seconds left on shot clock.

The Lakers need to press time to play the buzzer attack in the first quarter.

Wei Xia quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and it took 6 seconds. With 12 seconds left, the Suns asked Nash to defend Weaver, and Raja Bell, who had previously defended Weaver, walked in front of him.

Bell is not yet a recognized defensive master, and probably only Suns insiders know how good his defense is.

If you lose the draft, you must look up and always put defense first.Bell is exactly that, his defense is powerful and fierce, and he doesn't hesitate when it's time to get dirty.Sloan started every game for the Jazz last season. Sloan liked him and wanted to keep him by his side as a bodyguard for Deron Williams, but it was a pity that he was talking about marriage. Bah, signing such a thing has always been "I want me to think, not you." Bell appreciates the style of the Suns more.Therefore, he gave up the Jazz's annual salary of 600 million and came to the Suns to receive an annual salary of 450 million.

Wei Xia also didn't know Bell's ability. Since Kobe scored 17 points in a single quarter, he may have left a bad impression of Bell's defense.

So when Odom asked for the ball, he made a very different gesture.

"You better pass!" Bell sneered.

Wei Xia's offensive intentions are firm. He doesn't know how long he will hold the ball, and he doesn't know when Jackson will let him face the Suns' swing forwards. He has to seize every opportunity to express himself.

Selfishly, he called Odom's pick-and-roll and blew past the Suns defense with outstanding explosiveness.

And when the Suns used the zone defense to block his breakthrough and his offense could only reach the free throw line, he had to hand the ball to Odom.

With 6 seconds left in the attack time, Wei Xia ran out quickly, using Cook's cover to rush to the top of the arc and beyond the three-point line.

Odom passed the ball.

In 2 seconds, Wei Xia can make a move.

Nash and Bell rushed to him immediately.

With Wei Xia's physical fitness, the opponent has lost the space to interfere, and he can completely ignore the defense and shoot his most confident three-pointer at the top of the arc.

The selfish factor only played a role in his thoughts for a few seconds, and Wei Xia deeply understood that there is someone who has better opportunities than him and needs to show himself more than him.

At the last second, his ball turned to the corner.

Vaughn Weaver catches the ball.

His shot speed is 0.9 seconds, so he can shoot a three-pointer before the whistle blows.

Weaver's three-pointer from the bottom corner was just pressed to 0.1 seconds, and all anyone who got up from the end of the bench had to do was to seize that unique opportunity.

Weaver's opportunity was given up by Wei Xia, and he did not disappoint the kindness of his peers.

"Shh!"

The sound of the basketball falling into the basket can be heard so well.

In addition, he glanced at Bell and said sincerely: "I sincerely hope that the pass just now was as you wished."
