You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 324 Eat the loss of no culture

Wei Xia's heart was empty, he had imagined what it would be like to lose.

He imagined the Lakers' heroic loss, which is unforgettable.For example, Kobe's lore was overtime, for example, he made a mistake at a critical moment and missed a good game, such as being a lore by the Clippers.Even if you lose, you have to lose vigorously.Everyone thinks so, but in reality how can everything come true.

The Lakers lost, ending the 2005-06 season on a somewhat flat note.

韦夏职业生涯首次征战季后赛，出战八场，场均出场时间高达37分34秒，场均得到15.2分7.7篮板4.7助攻1.4封盖和2.4抢断，三项命中率为46%、37%、84%。

For him playing in the playoffs for the first time, he can be regarded as excellent.

Wei Xia sat on the bench in frustration.

He watched his team lose the season from the bench, powerless to do anything.

In the end, they only lost by 3 points, but they didn't make a comeback in the whole process.The Clippers played very steadily. Brand and Kaman grabbed 25 rebounds again. The Lakers struggled hard for rebounds and got a total of 37 rebounds. Compared with the previous few games, the team's rebounds were not as good as the Clippers' two starting insiders.

But if the overall rebounds are calculated carefully, the Clippers have 55 and the Lakers have 37. The gap is huge.

The inside disadvantage was clear and unmistakable, but the Lakers only lost 2 points in the end.

Although Wei Xia was troubled by fouls, there were other teammates who stood up and tried their best. The Clippers' victory process was not easy.

At the end of the game, Clippers starting point guard Sam Cassell greeted Bryant and said, "We're even."

Then, he walked towards Wei Xia.

Kassel offered to reach out his hand to Wei Xia: "Can you answer me a question?"

Wei Xia said, "Excuse me."

"Steve should be more defensive than me, right?"

In the last game, Kassel was embarrassingly defended by the comeback Weixia, but today he found his place again.Four of Wei Xia's six fouls were made by him.

It can be said that in this round of the series, the 36-year-old Cassel has blown up every No. [-] position of the Lakers.

"I played six games with Steve, and only two games with you." Wei Xia did not make a hasty appraisal, "You are a great player, but the sample is too small, and I can't tell you the answer."

Cassell laughed: "I appreciate your frankness."

"Thank you." After Wei Xia said, he hugged Kassel.

It's rare that an opponent didn't leave a bad impression of him after fighting Wei Xia.

Of course, there is a reason for this.

He and Kassel have not played many times. After Wei Xia returned from injury, the first thing to do is to help the team relieve the pressure on the inside.Therefore, in the sixth game, he took a half-abandoned attitude towards Kassel's defense. Later, he found that he felt good and couldn't let go, so he put more intensity on him.Unexpectedly, the referee suddenly tightened the rules and did not give him the opportunity to physically abuse the veteran.

After the whole game, Wei Xia didn't touch the speed of the referee, and every time he defended, he tested the referee's sensitive zone.Every whistle that came to him meant that the referee's sniper point was touched, and it was like a flood that burst a dam, pouring out like a bet.

Wei Xia walked back to the locker room, it was quiet and silent, and no one was in the mood to speak.

Most of those heartless people also know that now is not the time to talk.

A few minutes later, Phil Jackson entered the locker room. He looked at the players, "Don't doubt yourself because of the success or failure of a round of series. The road to success is bound to be full of thorns. The more we are hurt by it, the stronger we will become. In my opinion, you are full of potential, and you have a lot to do in the future!"

So, they got together, joined hands, chanted slogans for the last time this season, and then disbanded in place.

The benefits of playing at home, ending the season at home, and being sent home to fish at home are reflected.

No need to go back to the hotel, no need to go home the next day, talk about everything that needs to be said, and disband on the spot.

Wei Xia couldn't let go of Jackson's rare gentleness.

In the end, the point difference was too small. If he played normally, the Lakers had a good chance to drag the game into the tiebreaker.

But he couldn't do it.

He didn't want to put the blame on the referee, and he didn't want to blame the tightness and looseness of the whistle. The referee's scale was comparable to that of a woman during menstruation. It would be foolish to expect to know their emotions clearly.

Since he is determined to become an elite defensive player, figuring out the referee's standards is the main homework for every game.Only by figuring out what the referee's allowed and disallowed confrontation scales are, can we let go of our concerns and do a good job of defense.

Wei Xia failed tonight.

"Would you like a drink?"

It was Kobe's voice.

"Where?" Wei Xia asked directly.

"Come with me." Kobe said decisively.

Wei Xia took very few things, put them in his backpack and followed Kobe out.

"It's so late, two men will be misunderstood if they come to this kind of place together." Wei Xia naturally resisted.

Kobe sneered, Wei Xia didn't even need to confirm, his sneer must have the words "stinking idiot".

That's right, everyone in Los Angeles knows Kobe.

There's no way anyone who knew Kobe didn't know he was a notorious rapist a year ago.

How could a rapist be crooked?

As for Wei Xia, the six games against the Suns in the first round of the playoffs and the comeback in the semifinals allowed him to grab the front pages of many heavyweight media in California, especially Angel City.

His face is highly recognizable in the Los Angeles area.

Moreover, because the good news reporter intends to share his story with fans, it is basically known to everyone that Wei Xia was dumped by his girlfriend twice in high school and college.

Therefore, no one will suspect that they are bent.

Kobe took a side seat and sat down, ordering two glasses of whiskey.

"If you are still thinking about the game, if you think we lost to you, then don't blame me for laughing out loud." Bryant said lightly.

Kobe is so competitive?

Kobe Bryant jealous?

It's the biggest lie in the world.

How can a person who is so aggressive and jealous of defeat laugh now?The ones who laughed were still the teammates who didn't get out of the shadow of losing immediately.

"Otherwise, what do you want me to think?" Wei Xia asked, "I'm so happy that we lost?"

"Come on, you just came back from an injury, no one expects you to play well, you've already won one more game for us, you should be content, poor performance in the sixth game is expected." Kobe said like a fortune teller, "The loss is not your responsibility alone, I should get 3 more points, or our defense should allow the Clippers to get 3 points less, then the result will be different. You are just a rookie. The responsibility for the loss does not belong to you anyway, Understand? "

"Promise me something."

"what?"

"Don't treat others like me, your comforting skills are the worst I've ever met." Wei Xia was blunt.

The waiter brought out the whiskey.

Kobe seemed to accept failure faster than Wei Xia, or he had already foreseen the failure.Failure seemed inevitable to him.

For the Lakers against the Suns, the opponent's inside line does not have a dominant advantage, and the absolute strength of the outside line is no match for Wechat and Kobe.

Many factors determine that the Lakers can beat the Suns up and down, but they cannot beat the Clippers, who are obviously not as powerful as the Suns.

The phenomenon of mutual restraint exists, especially the extreme inside strength comparison between the Lakers and the Clippers.The advantage of the inside line is unimaginable. The Clippers do not need complicated tactics. It is enough to faithfully implement the core tactical idea of ​​giving the ball to the inside line in every game and letting others die far away.

"Summer, what are your plans?" Kobe asked suddenly.

"I haven't figured it out yet, but I should spend a lot of time on training. I have many shortcomings." Wei Xia said modestly.

Then he concentrated on his never-ending glass of whiskey.

Kobe asked unexpectedly: "You don't want to know my arrangement?"

"No, I don't want to."

"BASTARDO." (Italian: dog than)
"what are you saying?"

"I appreciate your style of not asking for gossip." Bryant said appreciatively.

Wei Xia smiled and said, "I thought you were scolding me in a foreign language."

"How is that possible?" Kobe smiled falsely.

"Huh, gesegia (Korean bastard)." Wei Xia saw through Kobe.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh me? I just praised you in beautiful Korean."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Then they greeted each other five or six sentences in a language that neither of them understood.

Wei Xia lost to Kobe who could almost use Italian as his mother tongue due to insufficient "vocabulary reserve".

Well, it's a shame to Villanova that a guy who's been in college for two years is being uneducated in front of a guy who hasn't been to college.

At 12:30, Wei Xia and Kobe separated.

Since they both drank some wine, Kobe called two bodyguards with him, one to send him back and the other to send Wei Xia back.

His arrangement saved Wei Xia the trouble of finding a substitute driver.

Alcohol made Wei Xia sleepy, and as soon as he got home, he fell asleep without even taking a shower and getting out of bed.

His consciousness took a quick step past reality and flew to the wonderful 60s.
