Chapter 217 Becoming the Sixth Man of the Year
Chapter 216 Becoming the Sixth Man of the Year
Since Phil Jackson let Weixia continue to play in the fourth quarter, the Lakers always retain a strong combat power on the court.

Although Wei Xia's offense is not as good as Kobe's, his touch is just as hot.

Although the fanatical Los Angeles fans chanted "We want Kobe!" throughout the fourth quarter, Jackson still put Kobe on the bench.As a result, Kobe's overall score was fixed at 62 points.

The Lakers players on the scene listened to the demands of the audience, but Jackson never wanted to satisfy them.

Michael Thompson fired at Jackson: "Sportsmanship is bullshit. Kobe has a chance to score 70 points or more today. It is a shameful waste to let Kobe give up the best game of his career for the sake of so-called sportsmanship!"

"3 points in 62 quarters, 1 point more than the Mavericks, this is Kobe tonight."

Kobe has always been recognized as a super offensive player, but his 62 points against the Mavericks is the only 60-point game in his career so far.

It was achieved in such an amazing way, failure to continue to improve the score will naturally lead to dissatisfaction from the fans and protests from the commentator.

The game ended amid the boos of disgruntled fans.

In this campaign, the Mavericks lost 48 points to the Lakers and experienced a series of humiliating records.

Only three Lakers scored in double figures.

One is Kobe. In addition to 3 points in 62 quarters, he also had 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Interestingly, he and Wei Xia have a high assist overlap rate.

Five of Kobe's seven assists came from Wei Xia.

As for Wei Xia, he scored 30+ in the third game of his career with a very high shooting percentage.

Against the Mavericks, he played 46 minutes.

With a 1-minute break in the first half and a 1-minute break in the second half, he scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists, infinitely close to a triple-double.

He is like Jamal Wilkes in the magician's rookie season of the Gods War. The world will only know that Kobe played more games in 3 quarters than the Mavericks. Few people will remember his performance.

Even so, Kobe was able to share the highest score in a single game with McGrady, but Kobe's score was obtained in three quarters.From this perspective, the abrupt end of everything from 4 seconds before the end of the third quarter is definitely a wonderful way to end, because it leaves people with a broader room for imagination.

Wei Xia's average data thus rose to 16.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4 assists.

Second in the team in points per game, fourth in rebounds per game, and second in assists per game. As the sixth man, it is really a very good result.

The 45 minutes he played was also a career high.

Jackson's usage of him is really incomprehensible. Sometimes I want to suppress him so hard that I don't give him time. It seems that when I play 2K, I set the "automatic rotation" to "manual rotation", and forget to replace Wei Xia every time I manually rotate.

There was a 1-minute break each in the first and second half, which was amazingly neat.

Kobe's 62 points made him get the attention of the media. The reporters on the scene surrounded him, and Wei Xia slipped directly into the player channel without being stopped by anyone.

He took a shower and changed his clothes neatly, and his teammates all congratulated him.

"I don't think you played worse than Kobe today." Weaver whispered.

"Thank you, I dare not take it." Wei Xia was still sober.

Lamar Odom seems to have a good ear: "Humble young man, Kobe set a record, you keep the record, all of us are proud of you!"

"What record?" Wei Xia didn't expect that he still had a record.

"The average record is that at least one person is pissed off by the opponent. Today, Jason Terry was pissed off. It's you, Visa." Odom laughed.

Wei Xia was very embarrassed, and he didn't understand why the other party would become hysterical and distraught when he chatted well with him. He obviously had no malicious intentions.

Later, Jackson took Kobe and Wecha to the press conference.

Kobe still suffered heavy fire from the media. Everyone wanted to know what kind of mood he scored 62 points, and what kind of mood he used to sit on the bench for an entire quarter in the fourth quarter.

"The state came very suddenly. I didn't realize that I was setting the record at the time. It happened naturally." Kobe explained the origin of his record.

As for why he stopped playing after scoring 62 points, Kobe explained that he wanted to rest.

The actual situation is that Jackson needs him to sit down and rest, the game loses suspense, the Mavericks are gone, it is time for the team to practice tactics.Kobe continued to play, at most, he would play two-person games with Wei Xia. In order not to become the sinners who prevented Kobe from scoring 70+80+ or ​​even 90+, his teammates would pass the ball to him at all costs, and expressed the determination and attitude of "boss, we are all trash, please take all the shots alone".

Jackson didn't want that to happen, so he replaced Kobe.

Kobe didn't want Jackson to provoke more criticism. He could have said "everything is up to the coach's arrangement, I have no objection", which made Jackson take full responsibility, but he didn't say it.

The relationship between him and Jackson has indeed reconciled, and it is no longer as tense as it was during the OK period.

Hearing Kobe's explanation, the media were very dissatisfied. He could have created a bigger record, but because he "wanted to rest"?This is the reason?Could this be a reason?Maybe the once-in-a-career 70+ opportunities are in front of you, and you take them to rest in areas that even Michael Jordan has never touched?what!

Reporters and the media were disappointed with Kobe.

Finally someone pointed the microphone at Wei Xia.

They have no hope for Weixia, just as they are full of expectations for Kobe in the fourth quarter.Kobe in the fourth quarter could have created the possibility, but he gave up.

And Wei Xia also had the opportunity to become the darling of Kobe in the OK period, so that the fans of the entire Angel City liked him, and he also gave up.

Because of his short and plain style and way of speaking, he didn't get the exposure and influence he deserved.

There are still many fans who can't recognize him walking on the street.

Because the number of times he has been in the news is too little.

When he scored the highest score of his career against the Rockets last time, the reporter asked him how he felt.

Wei Xia replied blankly: I am very excited.

So the headline of the news the next day was this: "The new star of the Lakers won the highest score of his career, and he admitted that he was very excited."

Does anyone want to see this kind of news?
Not to mention the fans, the reporters who deal with this kind of news probably don't even have the mood to find a decent picture for Wei Xia.

Although Wei Xia has given up treatment and has hopelessly weakened his media influence, there are still some reporters who do not hit the south wall and do not look back, holding on to 0.01 points of hope.

They didn't believe that Wei Xia could keep calm forever.

"32 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists, this is your 30 points in two consecutive games, how do you feel?"

"not bad."

"12 assists in a single game is the highest data in your career so far. How did you do it?"

"Thanks to Kobe, he ignored the tactics and made many shots that shouldn't be made."

Oh?The reporter suddenly found out that it's not that oil and salt are not allowed to enter. Look, how spiritually the questions related to Kobe were answered!

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Kobe's face.

The reporters vaguely felt that they had found a way, and each wrote down the trick of asking Wei Xia: Be sure to ask a question related to Kobe!

"You only rested for 1 minute in both halves. Does the intensity of playing for 46 minutes make you feel too hard?"

"Used to it."

"Used to it?"

The reporters stared, what is a habit?

Wei Xia was too lazy to explain, but nodded and said: "Yes, just get used to it."

The reporter didn't want to ask where Wei Xia's habit came from. They still had a few thunderous questions, hoping to get good feedback.

"This is the second time you've been on the starting lineup, what's the difference between starting and coming off the bench?"

His reply was still irritating, "I don't think it's any different."

The reporters finally couldn't bear Wei Xia's faltering answers anymore. They asked the most powerful questions: "Although you are the sixth man, your average points, rebounds, and assists are all among the top in the team. Many fans and commentators think you should be included in the starting list. What do you think about this?"

"I want to gag them."

Wei Xia's answer surprised the reporter.

And Wei Xia's answer did not end, he continued: "I am still very young, and I will definitely have the opportunity to enter the starting list in the future. As for now, I have a more practical goal: to become the best sixth man of the year."

He seldom said so many things in front of reporters, and rarely left reporters with something to talk about.

But today, he left two things to talk about.

I like Kobe's attributes, and FLAG, who wants to be the best sixth man of the year.

Wei Xia's words made Kobe look sideways.

As in the cartoon, at this time, Phil Jackson's glasses should slide through a flashing lens, and then highlight the depth of the eyes and the wisdom of the character.

No one expected Wei Xia to say that.

Wei Xia stated that he would become the best sixth man of the year, indirectly blocking the reporter's mouth.

From today onwards, no matter how well Wei Xia plays, the reporter will not be able to ask Jackson when Wei Xia will start.People are going to be the best sixth man of the year, isn't it okay to ask this again?
Jackson still has doubts about the too close relationship between Wei Xia and Bass Jr., but he is very happy that the young man has finally settled down to do what he should do.

When it was Jackson's turn to answer questions, the reporter did not ask when Wei Xia would start.

In the past, Wei Xia played so well, they wouldn't give up until they struggled for a few minutes.

Today they only asked about Parker.

"Smash may have made a mistake, and he'll pay for it," Jackson replied.

As for Parker's starters during his suspension.

Jackson said in front of the media: "Before Smush returns, Wish will temporarily take over his position. As you can see, he played well."
