You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 166 Fuck Your Philosophy

Chapter 165 Fuck Your Philosophy
The Timberwolves only took a one-quarter lead. From the second quarter on, the Lakers played better and better. Once Kobe's killing mode was activated, and Weisha's pass was only Kobe, the Timberwolves encountered the embarrassment of many people defending Kobe in a row.

Since the score was tied, they traded back for Garnett.

Although Garnett has a whole body of energy, he can't withstand Kobe's killing on the offensive end.

In terms of strength and role, Garnett is not much worse than Kobe, he is a rare wizard in the world.There are many swingmen in the same category as Kobe in the league, and Kobe is the apex of this type.

But Garnett, there is no player in active service who is similar to him.

For a super spiderman like Garnett who has both stature, skill, speed and explosive power, it would be a waste of money to prevent the whole team from speeding up and cooperating with him to break through to the basket with the ball.And if he plays normally according to this routine, he averages 27 points per game and four or five counter-attack dunks per game, which is too easy.

In fact, this is the path that the future Greek monster took after the team's trial and error. Looking back, Garnett averaged 20 points, 17 rebounds, 8 blocks, and 2% shooting at the age of 50. It seems that it is not very difficult to achieve similar achievements in the small ball era.

However, it is a pity that his era does not allow him to do so. Garnett entered the league in 1995. In fact, the era when Greek monsters ruled the world was only 24 years-when Michael Jordan won the cup for the first time, look back 24 years ago, which happened to be the era of Chamberlain and Russell.From the era of Jordan to ancient times, big men who shot a little longer in the mid-range were considered deviant and were scolded by all the media. Therefore, the Timberwolves' development of KG in the early days of his career was actually very old-fashioned.

Therefore, Garnett's all-roundness ahead of the times and the top talent in history are constrained by the times. In many cases, it is not as useful as Kobe's unreasonable offensive devil who enters the state.

This battle is even more so.

How did the Lakers win?Replace Smush Parker, and then concentrate most of the ball in Kobe's hands.

The aggressive Kobe ignores the Timberwolves' defensive posture. Whoever will destroy whoever, as long as the double-team is not close to him, he is sure to solve any opponent one-on-one.

Wei Xia deliberately fed the ball, and finally allowed Kobe to hit a season-high 80 points, 55 rebounds and 7 assists with an astonishing 3% ball-holding singles rate.

After Wei Xia joined the Lakers, his playing time reached 30 minutes for the first time.

The Zen master killed Parker, and Wei Xia was not involved in the foul crisis, because he only had Kobe in his eyes, and it happened that Kobe had a strong offensive desire and a good touch.

Wei Xia, who didn't show much of his organizational skills, became the first Lakers player with double figures in assists this season.

In the whole game, Wei Xia scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists.

According to on-site statistics, 11 of Wei Xia's 8 assists were won from Kobe.

Many of the balls he gave Kobe were not opportunities.

Kobe just wanted to stay in position, catch the ball and turn over and shoot jumpers coherently.

The Timberwolves almost grabbed his arm, and there was no shortage of interference and confrontation on the defensive end, but his state was like this.If you have a convulsion, you only need to make a shot, and you can make a shot even if you don't have a chance. Wei Xia's assists are rising.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 112 to 101, and did not let the loss to the Eagles happen again.

The Timberwolves were a team in the Western Conference Finals two years ago and had the best players in the league, but they couldn't even make the playoffs last year.If there is no accident this year, the door to the playoffs will still be tightly closed to them. If the Lakers want to return to the playoffs stage, a team like the Timberwolves must win.

Kobe, who scored 55 points, was chased and intercepted by reporters.

Kobe was in a good mood, and he was a different person from the first quarter.

"Playing aggressively is what we need and what we have always been aiming for." Bryant emphasized, "If we can fight like this every night, I believe we can beat any team."

The reporter naturally asked him what he thought of Wei Xia.

"He is a special player who can not only challenge opponents on the court, but also challenge me off the court. We have a lot of positive competition, and his presence has given the team a new look." Kobe spoke highly of Wesha.

Wei Xia, who scored the Lakers' first double-digit assists this season, maintained a concise style.

"What does a double-double mean to you?"

"a good start."

"Do you think you should be the starter?"

Wei Xia rolled his eyes and answered the obvious trap question: "The coach has the right to say."

"There are many people who have high expectations for this year's Lakers. What do you think of these people?"

"Thank you for your support." Wei Xia seemed to be born with an aversion to the spotlight, and he instinctively rejected the approach of the media. He wanted to avoid these people, but he couldn't directly refuse the interview.

In the past, his answers were stinky and long, and he tried his best to make the media detour when they saw him.

Now he's done it again.

Reporters don't hate interviewing him, but after the interview, most of them will have an ethereal feeling that releases the essence of the body.

Wei Xia's answer made the reporters feel that they were doing a meaningless thing, because his monotonous answer made people uninterested.

In every press conference, the most nervous person on the Lakers is Phil Jackson.

The glasses concealed his flickering eyes, but the accentuated tone revealed that he was very dissatisfied with the reporter's question.

Reporters asked him why he didn't use Bynum more.

Bynum played well tonight, with 6 points and 4 rebounds in 4 minutes.

With this battle, he successfully increased the average of 0 points per game to 1.3 points per game.

Bynum's talent is visible to the myopic eye. The Lakers are so short of insiders. Whether it's for training newcomers or keeping the insiders at a high level, Bynum shouldn't only have such a small amount of playing time.

Wei Xia and Kobe are by Jackson's side.

Kobe leaned on the chair, watching the fire from the other side, Wei Xia listened carefully, what the reporter asked was also what he didn't understand.

"Essentially speaking, Andrew is just a child. We train players not only to develop their skills, but also to sharpen their hearts. We need to make him a good person, not just a good player. At this point, I think Andrew is not ready. He is improving every day. I can see it, and you can see it, but this does not mean that he will get a lot of playing time. This is a philosophical issue."

Here we go again, a philosophical question.

The triangle offense is a matter of philosophy.

Player development programs are a matter of philosophy.

Not giving Bynum minutes is also a matter of philosophy.

Why does our head coach have so many philosophical questions.

And, when did he become a philosopher?
Whenever Wei Xia is unable to complain about things around him, he will express it by rolling his eyes.

He rolled the biggest blind eye of the day, and almost got the talent of the Hyuga family, completely opening the blind eye.Good thing that didn't happen, otherwise he would have been sent for sectioning today.

Jackson used philosophy as a shield to keep journalists at a loss.

After all, no reporter would learn any philosophy just to target Jackson, and everyone’s philosophy is different. You can’t use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty, and you can’t use your philosophy to question my philosophy. Therefore, it is not advisable to study philosophy for Jackson.

The reporter asked other questions.

A question closely related to Wei Xia.

"Although only five regular season games have been played so far, there are many statistics showing that the Lakers performed better when Wish was on the court." The reporter asked, "Although Smush Parker is a more pure guard, he does not seem to be the best choice. Does the Lakers have plans to adjust the starting lineup?"

Wei Xia focused.

Jackson looked at the reporter, wondering if he was going to talk about philosophy again.

"This question may be the most valuable question today." Jackson seemed willing to answer. "Smash and Wish have completely different styles. One is passionate and the other is calm. I think we need both styles at the same time."

Kobe agrees that Weixia is as calm as ice, and as for Parker, is he as passionate as fire?

Oh, fiery enthusiasm always burns itself.

Jackson went on to say: "We need the calmness of Wish and the enthusiasm of Smush. Smash has more experience than Wish. At present, he is more suitable as a starter. I have said many times that Wish's future is bright. I have no doubt that he will enter the starting list one day in the future, but not now. He is just a rookie and has a lot to learn. What we have to do is not to overthrow the seedlings, but to provide him with the best soil to help him grow healthily."

Wei Xia was forced to roll his eyes.

best soil?healthy growth?

Let him defend Anthony and Marion, which is the best soil?

Criticize him in front of the whole team if he makes any mistakes. Is this called asking him to grow up healthily?

When it was over, his eyes couldn't roll back.

The situation Jackson faced was not easy. After only five games in the regular season, many reporters asked Wei Xia why he didn't start.

Bynum can still be said to be a figurehead, but Wei Xia can't.

Although he is a rookie, he has rich game experience, a mature mind, a strong outlook on the overall situation, and good immediate combat power. It seems that he is more suitable for starting than Parker.

Parker has only two advantages.

More like a point guard than Wei Xia, three-pointer.

Today he still brushed aside the problem with gorgeous excuses, but as long as Wei Xia continues to perform well, he will have to respond positively sooner or later.

"It seems that you will continue to sit on the bench."

On the way back to the locker room, Kobe said to Wei Xia.

Wei Xia does not reject being a substitute. If someone in the team is obviously better than him, he has no objection.The problem now is that apart from Kobe, there is no guard who is obviously better than him. He doesn't think he is worse than Parker, and he doesn't think the 36-year-old Sprewell is better than him.Since he is no worse than anyone else, why is he a substitute?What does Jackson need of him?
Or, in his eyes, the starting lineup is not only about strength?Also meet the requirements in other respects.

Well, then you have to say what kind of request it is, don't talk about philosophy anymore, let's talk about Wei Xia's mouth.

Wei Xia's anxiety will not be answered, and Kobe told him not to guess Jackson's mind, because he will never guess.Now that the situation is already like this, he has no choice but to accept it calmly.

Well, accept. Accept his size!

Wei Xia secretly made up his mind that no matter what thoughts Jackson had, he would fight to the end and use his performance every game to prove that he was one of the five best players in the team.
