You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 208 Take the Road and Escape (1014)

The next day, when Wei Xia woke up, yesterday's failure had already been thrown into the old days by him.

People can't live with the past on their backs, they have to look forward every day.

He walked into the living room and saw Bynum and Weaver. Both of them didn't leave last night. Bynum, who claimed to have drank alcohol at the age of 17, lost his mind and talked nonsense after just a few drinks.

As for Weaver, he drank too much alcohol. Although he was still sober, he did not leave for safety reasons.

They had breakfast at Wei Xia's home, and then left separately.

"You said they were your teammates, why don't I have any impression of them?" Wei Qiu only expressed the biggest confusion in his heart after they left.

Wei Xia said: "The combined average playing time of the two of them is less than 10 minutes per game."

"No wonder," Wei Qiu was not very careful at first, the only ones on the Lakers who could name them, "They are all rookies, Coach Jackson is so kind to you!"

Hearing this, Wei Xia didn't know how to answer.

Speaking of Jackson, Wei Xia remembered the review meeting this afternoon.

In the review meeting this afternoon, he can be sure that Jackson will talk about what happened yesterday.

It would be unbecoming of him not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.

Wei Xia was mentally prepared, turned on the TV, and watched the morning news.

Although most of the time the ESPN channel only catches the wind and catches the rhythm of the video, but as long as you observe carefully, you can find some valuable information.

Regarding the issue of the Lakers' reinforcements, a certain brick expert Wei Xia did not know expressed his opinion: "The Lakers seem to be harmonious, but the internal problems cannot be explained clearly in a few words. If they want to strengthen, they need the participation of the scouting department. Jim Buss, who is in charge of the scouting department, has a bad relationship with the Lakers coach Phil Jackson. I don't want to say that he will hinder the Lakers' reinforcements because of this, but the biggest resistance to the Lakers' reinforcements is not from outside, but from inside."

How short are the Lakers of insiders?Just look at their winning percentage against teams with strong interiors.

If the Lakers have injuries and downsizing inside, they will face the most severe test.

How long can the inside trio of Chris Mihm, Brian Cook and Odom last?

With such a shortage of insiders, the reinforcement of the management is actually only Dwayne Jones.

It's like telling the coaching staff unambiguously: This year is like this, let's make do with it.

On a boring day, Wei Xia went to the Toyota Center as usual.

He was still the first player to arrive on the field, but before he officially started training, the interference from the outside pulled him away from the intense training.

Jim Bass suddenly appeared and asked Wesha to pack up and go with him.

"Where are you going, sir?" Wei Xia asked.

"Of course it's a good place." Little Bass didn't explain.

Wei Xia, who had just finished warming up, followed little Bass and left.

Wei Xia got into Buss Jr.'s luxury car, and then heard him say in the most indifferent tone: "I heard you messed up the key ball yesterday?"

Wei Xia hummed, taking it as "yes".

"Then you have to be careful, Phil will not let go of this opportunity." Bass Jr. said with a smile, "He will use this excuse to embarrass you in front of the whole team, you'd better bear it."

Wei Xia laughed at himself: "Please rest assured, everyone knows my ninjutsu."

"I can't tell, you're still a 'ninja'." Although Bynum is also Buzz's baby bump, he and Wei Xia get along best.

Because Bynum couldn't handle his baggage and didn't know how to have an adult conversation.

Wei Xia felt the same way, the whole team, the management personnel closest to him turned out to be the ignorant Jim Bass, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"If I were Kobe, I wouldn't have to bear it anymore. Everything is forced by life." Wei Xia said helplessly.

"Who said it wasn't? That old bastard really embarrassed me." Little Bass seemed to have more resentment towards the Zen master than Wei Xia.

Wei Xia would not call the Zen master "old bastard", and probably would not call any old man by "old bastard".

Buss Jr. has so much resentment against Zen Master, so he has reason to prevent Zen Master from playing results.

With Bass Jr.'s current authority, the scouting department under his command does have a basis for making trouble.

"Mr. Bass, do you have any thoughts on the reinforcement of the team?" Wei Xia asked suddenly.

Bass Jr. continued to criticize Zen Master through his question: "When it comes to reinforcements, I get angry. Phil is such an idiot. How can he give Latril that old waste 1 million a year? The money to pay his salary is not from his account. He doesn't feel bad at all. Looking at the other people he introduced, they are all old bones that will turn to ashes at any time. I really don't understand what he thinks."

It's easy to see why Jackson loves to recruit veterans.

The veteran has rich experience, is willing to obey, and has no ambitions. He can play as a substitute, as the main player, and can plug and play anything.

However, these advantages will only be maximized when the veterans are on the championship team.

Any championship team needs someone to sacrifice, and the ones who make the most sacrifices are often the old men.

However, the current Lakers are probably 81% away from the championship. With limited salary space, they choose veterans to reinforce, and the reinforcements are the most indispensable wings instead of inside. This can only show that Jackson's thinking has gone wrong.

"Yes, we have some problems with the operation this offseason, so now is the time to solve the problems. Mr. Bass, what do you think we can make changes?"

"How do you feel about firing Phil?"

"If you have this permission."

"But you can't deny that my proposal is the best solution." Little Buss ignored Wei Xia's bewildered smile, "That's all I have. You have to go to Mitch or Phil for the others. They are the ones leading the deal. I'm no longer at the decision-making level, Visa."

Wei Xia didn't know whether to pierce the window paper.

Do you want to ask Bass why it is so difficult for the management to strengthen the inside line, and what does the scouting department do?

This doesn't seem to be something he should care about. Whether he strengthens the inside or not, it will not affect his team status.

At present, he can't protect himself, so why should he care about those things?

After all, he didn't say anything, and Bass took Wei Xia to his "private territory".

Wei Xia thought that living alone in such a big house was a bit anti-human, until he saw the "castle" of Little Bath.

The place was originally the property of Old Bath.Later, Old Bath moved out and gave it to his most beloved youngest son, Jim.

Little Bath got such a large area and naturally spent a lot of money on refitting.

Jr. Bass took Wei Xia to the gymnasium, "I have equipped you with 3 trainers. Starting today, this place is open to you 24 hours a day. On the right is the restaurant. There are gourmet western food and British western food. I also hired a cook from China. You can choose whatever you like."

Wei Xia was dumbfounded.

"How much do these cost?"

"Money? Don't talk about money with me, Visa. I don't care about how much money he has when I make friends. I don't have money anyway." Little Buss resumed his dandyish self.

Although Wei Xia is unwilling to admit that he belongs to Buss Jr., the role of Buss Jr. is undoubtedly decisive for the reason why he can come to the Lakers.

His food and living in Los Angeles were all arranged by Bass Jr., and even the troubles in the Toyota Center were all negative effects passively caused by the other party's support for him.

Now, Bass Jr. has prepared the world's best training venues, facilities, and trainers for Wei Xia.

"Don't say thank you to me. I need you to maintain your current performance. This is what I need most." Bass said before leaving.

Wei Xia responded and started training.

There are 3 trainers here, and their existence will save Wei Xia a lot of effort.

Shoot, someone picks up the ball.

For layup training, someone will serve as a sparring partner.

They can also help when a small game is needed to test the results of training.

What Wei Xia cares most about is the physiotherapy room that Bass mentioned.The smile on his face at that time was written in words, a smile that could perfectly convey a certain obscene emotion.

The feeling of "you must go after practicing, it will definitely make you feel refreshed".

Wei Xia trained from eight o'clock to twelve o'clock sharp.

"Felix, put this on." Wei Xia was about to go to the physiotherapy room when the trainer beside him said.

Wei Xia found it was a pair of pants, "Is there anything special about this?"

"These are not just pants, this is the most advanced compression gear out there. Our bodies need oxygen and the nutrients in our blood to function. When we exercise vigorously, our bodies run faster. And when our cells don't get enough oxygen, our performance suffers, which creates excess lactic acid. Compression garments help us flush out the process of deoxygenated blood, lactic acid, and other waste products from our extremities, allowing oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to return more efficiently. purpose, so as to promote the overall flow of blood and ultimately achieve the effect of recovery.”

Although Wei Xia only understood the first two sentences, he still put on the compression equipment.

It looked like leggings, and it wasn't comfortable, but it gave his lower body an unusual amount of relaxation.

"Shuang" Wei Xia expressed his senses with one word.

Afterwards, he went to the therapy room in compression gear, and it was like a new world opened up.

Normatec recovery system, ice water bath, cryotherapy. Most of the recovery physical therapy facilities after training are not officially introduced by NBA clubs because of their high price.

Wei Xia didn't know how much it would cost to buy these things, and he definitely couldn't do it with his current bank deposits.

As for why Bass smiled so lewdly, Wei Xia felt that the mystery should lie in the masseuse who was in charge of giving him a massage.

They are women.

very beautiful.

Dress scantily.

Female, beautiful and revealing.Wei Xia did not let Little Bass' plot succeed. After finishing the massage, he ran out of the physical therapy room at a very fast speed.You could almost call it a runaway.
