You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 302 The Mad Dog Jumping Over the Wall (1013)

Kobe's return has injected new vitality into the Lakers and the backbone of the offensive end.

During the time when Wei Xia was on the court, he was the one who played the response ball.He played well, but he didn't have Kobe's sense of security.It was also when everyone didn't have high expectations for Wei Xia, so when he stepped forward to bite the game, the Staples Center was ignited.

There are probably double-digit movie stars and singers standing up and applauding Wei Xia's performance.

He was the star of the game in the first half.

His performance not only drove the atmosphere of the scene, but also inspired Kobe.

Kobe maintained his good touch in the first quarter and contracted every ball after Weixia left the court.

45 is better than 40
"A breathless defensive battle. With the help of Kobe and Wish, the Lakers entered the second half with a 5-point advantage!"

Kobe Bryant accepted the halftime interview.

He highlighted Wei Xia: "Wish is the best signing the Lakers made during the offseason after 1996. He changed us. I am serious. Looking at him, you only need to watch his game seriously for 1 minute, and you will be ignited by him. You know, this guy is someone I am willing to go to the battlefield with!"

Kobe's high evaluation of Wei Xia is not surprising.

He praised Wei Xia throughout the year. Although they often bicker in private and rarely give each other recognition, he always gives the greatest recognition in front of the media.

Some Lakers fans felt that Kobe was intimidated by Parker, Cook and his ilk, and they couldn't help being excited when Weixia came.During the regular season, Wei Xia has brought many surprises. In the first 8 minutes of the first half of the playoffs against the Suns, as a rookie, he led the offense and was weak, and the defense could not give much strength. The old, slow and athletic second team withstood the Suns for 5 minutes.

That was his signature moment.

To judge a person's ability, we should not only look at his statistics, but also look at his actions in the face of big scenes, and his every move when he supports the situation alone.

There are always some chosen darlings who made unique decisions before the fate of the envoy came.

"Wish" is that one-of-a-kind guy.

"I just want to know, what else does Phil Jackson need from Wish to put him in the starting roster?"

It was not the old Thompson who said this sentence, but Charles Barkley from the TNT studio.

TNT broadcast the fourth game between the Lakers and the Suns across the United States. During the halftime break, the studio was very happy about it.

In the TNT team, there is the best "Magician" Johnson from the Lakers in team history. Even he who has always been pleasing to no one is a little dissatisfied with Jackson's approach: "I met Wish at the Lakers' internal New Year's Eve party last year. He is a humble guy. I asked him about his views on playing as a substitute. His thoughts are very straightforward. He also thinks that he should not be a substitute. Because he is a rookie, after a season of inspections, four playoff games, and countless outstanding performances, he proved time and time again that he is the most unbelievable player on the Lakers. As the head coach, Phil should re-examine the current lineup."

The atmosphere in the studio was a bit like Jackson’s criticism meeting. Steve Kerr, who is also a member of the Tiantuan team, had an old relationship with Jackson. He interrupted: "Phil is the most elusive head coach I have ever seen. He thinks about problems from a different angle than others. Maybe one day he will suddenly let Wish enter the starting list, or he may never. Just like I don’t know why he refused to give Scottie the lore."

Hearing this, the old guys who knew about the past laughed.

Kerr sold Pippen to clear Jackson, and halftime ended.

The two teams returned to the scene to shoot warm-ups and then prepare for the second half of the game.

In the second half, Kobe first held the ball with one hand in the high position and performed a set of chic moves, but unfortunately missed the shot.

The sun seized the rhythm of the counterattack, and Wei Xia, who was sitting off the court, was in a hurry.

Wei Xia's way of dealing with Nash can't provide him with any reference.

It is impossible for normal people to do that kind of close defense like conjoined twins.

Nash finds an angle and cuts to the basket, knocks Parker out of the way and scores.

42 is better than 45
Parker comes on the dribble, and he takes the ball to the strong side with three men.In order to catch the ball, Kobe twisted his body and had a violent body collision with the opponent, rushing to the low post on the strong side to get the ball.When he went to the strong side, Parker cleverly passed the ball to Walton on the weak side.

"The smartest Laker" can't think of a way to break the game even if he kills all the brain cells.

It is impossible for Kobe, who is stuck in the position, to return to the weak side, which will destroy the strategy.

"The smartest Laker" turned his gaze and saw Parker.If he is "the smartest Laker," then Parker is "the most desperate Laker."If the Lakers' offensive hope this round can only fall on him, then the big guy should hurry up and return to defense.

If you enter, you earn, and if you don't enter, it's a matter of course.

boom!
Parker flew to the hoop and bounced out of the basket. After all, it was his teammates. They knew Parker well enough to know that he was gone when they saw him rushing in. They returned to the defense in time. The Suns couldn't fight back and fell out of position.

Someone in the commentary couldn't bear it anymore: "Why do you have to play Smash? Even if he is in good form, so what? Wish in bad form is still ten times stronger than Smush in good form!"

The sun set a V-shaped attack.

Two corners came to screen, Raja Bell pocketed an opportunity and scored a jumper.

44 is better than 45
90 seconds passed, and the pursuit of the sun was like a raging fire that was uncontrollable.

The sun took aim at Parker.

He is the breakthrough for the Lakers!
So, Parker called the pick-and-roll, and Marion and Nash teamed up to double-team.

Walton, who cut inside, thought he had a chance, but he was still too naive. Who is holding the ball?It's Smush Parker, who's about to turn on his dead man mode and give his teammates some serious torture.

Walton cuts inside and Parker makes a strong pass.

To catch his ball, Wharton's wingspan has to reach [-] meters, and his reaction speed has to be at the level of a sniper in an FPS game. In order to save this ball, which is so fast that there is no family member, and the angle is too inhuman.

With a bang, Parker used his strength to achieve his goal.

Two minutes into the second half, Jackson called a timeout for him.

"Wish!" Jackson called out the name unwillingly, "You replace Smush!"

Wei Xia took off his playing uniform with a heavy face. Although he spent more than half a year with Frank Ramsey, the grandfather of the Sixth Man, in another time and space, he still couldn't wait like him.

He would be anxious, anxious, and complain why Jackson didn't trust him.

Gradually, he discovered that Jackson didn't distrust him, but was wary of him, guarding against him with an attitude of guarding against ghosts.

The reason is too simple, he is Jim Bass.

Since he is Jim Bass's man, even if his role is ten times that of Parker, he will have to sit on the bench;
Just because he belongs to Jim Bass, no matter how well he plays, it is not a plus in Jackson's eyes, because the better he plays, the more noisy Bass is;

Just because he is a member of Jim Buss, Jackson's glasses have become a magnifying glass against him. Any mistakes, mistakes, and defensive failures will be labeled as "dereliction of duty" and put on a hat of "incompetence";

To this day, the crucial playoffs are still for that reason!Damn it, just because he belonged to Jim Bass, he would rather let Smash Parker play a crime, and he would not change until he confirmed twice that Parker was hopeless today.

Wei Xia is not angry with Jackson's prejudice, not upset by his neglect, not wavered by his criticism, and can even accept sitting on the bench all the time.But he absolutely cannot accept that Jackson is still fighting at this time. Everyone wants to win the game, and he throws the struggle of his players into the wind.

"What do I need to do?" Wei Xia asked without a trace of respect.

Jackson noticed the change in Wei Xia's attitude and tone, "Fight against Steve Nash, try to prevent him!"

"If I do something that makes you dissatisfied, or makes you need to wait until tomorrow afternoon for a meeting to criticize me, please replace me as soon as possible. Don't be an afterthought, because I don't have a long memory." Wei Xia sneered.

Jackson's eyes narrowed instantly, and the anger was reflected from his pupils to the lenses of his glasses.

"Your suggestion, I will consider it." Jackson said.

Wei Xia sneered and said: "Then I would like to thank you first, you are indeed the most enlightened coach in the world, and it is a blessing that I have cultivated in eight lifetimes to be able to play under your command."

It sounds like good words, combined with his tone, you know that every word has to be listened to and understood backwards.

Then the pause ends.

Wei Xia treated the enemy as disgusting as Phil Jackson in front of the whole team, and then approached Steve Nash without communicating with anyone else.

If nothing he could do could change Jackson's opinion of him, then forget it, why should he shy away like a sheep?Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone a mad dog like him with the attributes of a bulldog?If you're in a hurry, he'll bite!
If you don't believe me, ask Nash!

He really heard from Wei Xia the terrible cry of a vicious dog baring its teeth in anger and about to bite.

From now on, Wei Xia will struggle with three things.

He has to fight against himself, and every game has to be better than the last one.

Fight against your opponent and make sure every matchup is unbearable.

Fighting against Jackson, obedient citizens who do not resist will only attract harsher treatment, so they will become mobs who rise up and fight to the end.
