You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 224

After the dance, Wei Xia took her arm away from Trovis's body, and the moment the heat on the small contact surface disappeared suddenly, she immediately felt her whole body become weak and small, as if due to the interruption of contact, the newly acquired strength was also lost.

Trovis was in a trance, while Wei Xia noticed that his teammates had different expressions.

Kobe stood beside Vanessa and gritted his teeth secretly.

"What's wrong?" Vanessa asked.

"This bastard dares to steal food in front of me? Isn't he afraid that I will sue him?" Kobe said angrily.

"Complaint? Didn't he break up?"

"I don't believe it. If he broke up, would he still be in the mood to come to the party? He would have hid in a corner where nobody was crying."

"Is he so fragile?"

"Believe me, he really will!" Kobe wanted to prove his understanding of Wei Xia with an oath.

Vanessa dissuaded him because it was unnecessary.

Between Wei Xia and Trovis, the former did not notice a change in the mentality of the latter.

"Didn't think you could dance so well," Trovis said. "Better than I thought."

Wei Xia didn't dare to boast. His dancing skills were honed by his first love in high school and his second girlfriend in college.

We chatted, drank wine, and danced. The male and female partners who are not boyfriend and girlfriend can only stop here.

Life needs a sense of ritual, and so does a party.

When the ceremony is over, it's time to stop.

Wei Xia casually found an excuse to walk away from Trovis, and just wanted to clarify some things with his teammates when he was brought in front of Old Bath by Little Bath.

Old Buss also sat with a group of famous Lakers, the enigmatic smile of the "Magician", Jamal Wilkes' scrutiny, James Worthy's greeting, and Michael Cooper's weird eunuch-like voice made Wei Xia want to laugh.

The all-time NBA scoring leader Kareem-Jabbar's bald spots are more memorable than his demeanor that he doesn't take anyone seriously.

And Kobe and them.

Old Buss said a few words to Wei Xia casually, and he didn't put too much energy on him. After all, compared with other people present, he was not an important role. If he didn't look at the face of Little Buss, he wouldn't even be able to sit here and listen to their bragging and farting.

Wei Xia didn't want to stay here to waste time, but he had to give little Bass face.

It took half an hour like this until 23:59:50 of the day.

Everyone started counting down.

From 10, to 1, greet the New Year, pop balloons, and kiss lovers.

Little Bass' funny appearance made Wei Xia unable to laugh. While kissing the female partner on his left, he used his right hand to control another female partner's ball. If it wasn't in public, he might call another female partner to have sex with other parts of his body, so as to achieve a true trinity.

In the first two games of the year, the Lakers faced the Utah Jazz.

One home game, one away game.

The Jazz has never been an easy bone to chew. Since the 80s, they have been ranked in the upper middle class of the West, and they have beaten the Lakers' "Magician" and "OK" and Kobe, who is now leading the team alone.

In the first game, the two sides played very hard, and the score was 84 to 82.

湖人2分惜败，安德烈·基里连科非人哉的20分11篮板7助攻4抢断和7记血腥大帽，让湖人饮下败酒。

A few days later, when they returned home to play the Jazz again, the Lakers' lineup changed slightly.

Smush Parker is back, and he's back with his mindless shot selection and fancy turnovers, but Wescha is still the starter.

Has Phil Jackson changed his mind?not.

Bryant missed the home game against the Jazz due to physical discomfort.

Without Kobe, what can the Lakers use to fight the Jazz?
The result was not embarrassing. The two teams played back and forth. Although the Lakers lost Kobe, although they did not have a strong point, they got more shots in the starting lineup.

A clear-headed Lamar Odom rarely controlled the ball with an absolute central position, and scored his first triple-double of the season for this reason.

Parker's performance was not as bad as expected, with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in a single game. Although he missed Wechat's openings more than his assists, the Lakers still have to be grateful for his performance.

"Fans, you know Smash can't stay in his current form forever, so let's enjoy him as much as we can now!"

Spero Dedes's words made people wonder whether he was praising Parker or blatantly criticizing him.

Due to Kobe's absence, Wei Xia, who continued to start, became the Lakers' scoring leader that night. He scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.

He and Parker, the two guards grabbed 20 rebounds, and that's why the Lakers won.

"Kobe's absence didn't damage the Lakers' combat power much. I'm not saying that Kobe's presence affected the Lakers' performance. What I mean is that they digested the shots and opportunities that Kobe didn't have vacantly."

Jazz coach Jerry Sloan isn't sad or upset about his team's loss to the Bryant-less Lakers.

In his eyes, losing is normal.

"I remember the guard who played 47 minutes. His name is Wish." Sloan pointed out Wei Xia. "He is also a rookie. His hard work and drive are worth learning from D-Will."

The media came to Wei Xia with questions.

Their question was, "What do you think about Coach Jackson saying that as long as Kobe comes back, you're going to go back to the sixth man role?"

Wei Xia reiterated: "Becoming the sixth man of the year is my goal."

So far, Wei Xia has ended his short starting tour.

Since he replaced Parker in the starting lineup on December 12 last year, Wei Xia has started 16 consecutive games, with an average playing time of 10 minutes and 44 seconds per game, which is useless even for animals.

Jackson seems to want to use a lot of playing time to make up for Wei Xia's regret of not being able to start.

In the ten games that Wei Xia started, he averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 44%.

These 10 starts proved that he can lock a starting position in the Lakers or other teams, and he only needs to play as a substitute because of the team's arrangement.

As long as he maintains his current performance, he does have a great chance to become the Sixth Man of the Year.

On January 1, the Lakers played against the 6ers at home.

Wei Xia remembered his wonderful match against the 76ers last time, and he was looking forward to this battle.

There was also a small episode before the game started.

Although the 76ers were eager to trade Iverson, after a few months, Philadelphia's No. 3 was still there, and the transaction failed.

Iverson was in a good position in the defensive era. He is currently averaging 33 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage is 45% (the highest since the sophomore season). The performance of Philadelphia has caused a gust of "no trading of Iverson".

Fans can accept losing, but they don't accept the absence of Iverson in the Wells Fargo Center.

The transaction was put on hold, and Iverson began a scoring performance that was difficult to win.

Came to visit the home of the Lakers, and its head coach Maurice Cheeks was asked in an interview how he felt about Kobe's 3 points in 62 quarters. Cheeks proudly said that if they were replaced, they would definitely not let that happen.

"Andre Iguodala can contain Kobe, I have no doubts about it!"

Of course Kobe was angry.

What made Kobe even more angry was that Jackson actually followed the opponent's words and said: "AI (Andre Iguodala) is indeed a rare defensive champion. Kobe will face a difficult challenge."

Kobe wouldn't have run up to Jackson to tell him to take it back, nor would he have confronted Cheeks.

At most, he ran to the visiting team's locker room to talk to Iguodala before the game started.

Fortunately, Iguodala was not present, and Kobe could only yell at his opponent: "Tell Andre, (I'm going to get) 50 points tonight!"

After hearing about Kobe's deeds, Wei Xia was quite worried about him.

The reason why he didn't play against the Jazz a few days ago was diarrhea, and now he just wants to score 50 points?This is much harder than going to the bathroom fifty times back and forth.

"Are you questioning me?"

"No." Wei Xia spoke in human language, but there was a series of nonsense written on his face.

What Kobe saw in his eyes turned out to be a sense of distrust of "how do you want me to trust you".

The end of the season between the Lakers and the 76ers has thus begun.

Let's talk about the performance of the 76ers first. They played well, really well. From Iverson to Iguodala, all of them played above the standard.

Iverson met Kobe Bryant at the same level, played hard, and the offensive end was high-spirited. The data of 31 points, 7 assists, 7 turnovers + 50% shooting rate was not ugly.

伊戈达拉13投7中，55%命中率得到14分4篮板的表现也达到平均线。

However, the style of painting on the opposite side went astray.

Everyone is eager to perform at their best against their hometown team, and so is Kobe.

What's more, what happened before the game?Can Iguodala limit him?Isn't this a joke?Think about how Jordan abused those Jordan terminators. He would be worthy of Cheeks and Jackson if he didn't blow Iguodala's head off?
Throughout the audience, Bryant only got 4 free throws.

他凶残地出手29次，4个罚球对比艾弗森22投9罚和伊戈达拉的13投5罚，就连韦夏这个直来直往的老实人都11投6罚——和他们相比，科比的29投4罚太过低效。但他的29球命中了19球，其中三分球7中7，虽然最终的得分比他赛前放下的50分还少2分，但没有人会笑他说到没做到。

The 76ers defeated the Lakers by 30 points.

There was a frenzy of brushing data in the Lakers team.

Lamar Odom had the audacity to rack up a career-high 15 assists on Kobe Bryant.

Wei Xia played 29 minutes off the bench, with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

Even Smush Parker scored an alternative double-double of 10+10 rebounds in two consecutive games.

The prosperity of the Lakers can be seen, and all the origins lie in the fanning of Morris Cheeks and Phil Jackson.

How can you live if you commit evil yourself?
