You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 351 A Letter from a Strange Woman
"This." Wei Xia pondered for a while.

"you are not willing?"

Phil Jackson was very surprised. He had heard that Wei Xia liked to read, and it happened that he especially liked to let the team members understand his deep meaning while reading.Could it be that the rumor that Wei Xia likes reading is false?
"No, can this book be replaced by "The Life of Napoleon"? The one written by Luciferd."

A shallow smile hung on the corner of Jackson's mouth: "Good books are food for the mind, and bad books are opium for the mind. What we need is food that feeds the spirit, not opium that is bad for the body and mind."

Wei Xia really wanted to argue for Luciferd, the novels about Napoleon were still written in the form of traditional novels, unrivaled throughout the ages, and Jackson called them spiritual opium?
"Alright then." Does he have a choice?there has never been.

Wei Xia took the book from Jackson's hand. Fortunately, it was very thin.

"After reading it, don't forget to write a review. The content should be detailed. I need you to combine our actual needs."

It means, don't just copy an article from the Internet to fool people, he wants Wei Xia to combine the content of this book with real work.

The problem is coming.

What kind of fairy could combine "Letter from a Strange Woman" with ball games?
When this book was born, the sport of basketball was only 31 years old. Can his author, Stefan Zweig, play basketball?What can Wei Xia do to combine this novel, which has nothing to do with basketball, with basketball?
Wei Xia walked out of the airport with a sad face, and reporters surrounded him, wanting him to talk about scoring the highest score of his career against the Celtics.

"I have nothing to say, it's just a game." He was very free and easy.

He may not know that the Los Angeles media exaggeratedly called him "the answer to the Lakers in the post-Kobe era" and "Kobe after Kobe".

There are two big problems with these two harsh headlines.

One, Kobe is still young, and it will take at least ten years for the Lakers to become a post-Kobe era.

Second, Wei Xia just retired in place and didn't want to become Kobe after Kobe.

He and Kobe are two completely different players, just like the hyena and the lion, Nash and Kidd, O'Neal and David Robinson, two completely different creatures, it's okay if they are not enemies, and they still play the cheesy routine of "I became you after many years"?Nonsence!

Wei Xia found outside the airport that he forgot to call Li Zhongxian to pick him up.

So he called a taxi.

Wanting to go home, somehow ended up at Kim Director's house.

He didn't want to challenge the limit during the day, and challenge the limit at night. He just thought that the book Jackson let him read should be able to find a real woman to try to see if he could find some angles to cut into basketball.

Director's interests are similar to Wei Xia's. When there is no notice, she will make a cup of coffee, sit at home, read a book, watch a movie, and never go out.

Today, she did not announce.

Wei Xia's sudden visit surprised her.

"Could it be that you just got off the plane?" Wei Xia was carrying a backpack, and Director could tell at a glance.

"I don't want to either, but the situation is urgent." Wei Xia took out the book Jackson gave him, "Have you read this book?"

Director looked at the title of the book, "Of course I have. If any woman who loves to read has not read this book, she is not a woman."

"It's too absolute to say that. Now that you have read it, can you tell me what is special about this book?" Wei Xia asked, "Our coach asked me to read it, and he handed this book into my hands."

The look in Director's eyes became interesting. It was the expression of watching a play, gossiping, and chasing a play.

"This book is about a woman who confesses to a man she has had a crush on for more than ten years before she dies. Is your coach interested in you?" Wei Xia finally read the rot in the depths of Director's pupils.

Her words reminded Wei Xia of some unsightly scenes.

"impossible!"

He said every word.No, almost shouted.

"I read this book more than ten years ago. I only know the general plot, and I don't have the specific impression. You should calm down and read it for a while. The content is not much, the plot is clear, and it is not difficult to read. Let me help you prepare lunch." Direkte asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat, my little tiger?"

Wei Xiasheng said helplessly, "I want to eat this book."

"Remember to drink water, it helps digestion."

Wei Xia put down his luggage, stared at the book, hesitated for a long time, and opened the first page.

"My child died yesterday—I fought for three days and three nights to save this young and delicate life. He had the flu, and his poor body was burning hot..."

Gradually, Wei Xia was attracted, and what Phil Jackson ordered him to do made him clear his head, and he wanted to read this book quietly.

"That day, that-moment, that-day, that moment when I fell in love with you completely and forever, I still remember clearly. I took a walk with a female classmate for a while, and we stood chatting at the intersection of the street. At this time, a car drove up, and the car stopped. The two of us almost collided."

Wei Xia discovered that it only takes a moment for a 13-year-old girl to fall in love with someone else.

Most women are too emotional, and falling for a man who has a good impression seems to be just an instant thing. On the other hand, Elaine Trovis, she is so rational that people dare not have any expectation of "something good will happen to her tonight".

Wei Xia finished reading the not-so-thick book in one go at a brisk pace.

Compared with "The Biography of Napoleon", its content is too thin, and there is nothing worthy of his notes, because this is the confession of a secret lover before his death, and it is right to read along with the beautiful language.

Now that he thought about it carefully, the premise of the whole novel was humbleness.For a poor and unknown woman to fall in love with a flourishing writer, there is a huge gap in every aspect, not to mention the woman's admiration for the man's talent and appearance, even the woman herself will have an innate sense of inferiority towards her family background and life.

Inferiority, in a sense, is actually the self-protection of the weak, an excuse to defend oneself, and even a weapon.It's just that this weapon is a double-edged sword. It hurts others and oneself, and it is not beneficial to others or oneself.This is obviously the last fight of the weak, and the ultimate goal is to perish together, so there is that letter.

Wei Xia doesn't approve of that woman's approach. If he likes someone, let alone hold it in his heart for more than ten years, he will let the other party know what he thinks within a week after he finds out what he wants, and then launch an offensive, and hold him for more than ten years?

Here comes the most critical question.

What is the purpose of Jackson letting him read this book?
If it is combined with basketball, do you want him to silently dedicate his love like this low self-esteem woman, until the last moment before bursting out?

And given his role, does Jackson want him to give himself silently, as before?
Wei Xia didn't know, what made him most dissatisfied was that he actually wanted to write a [-]-word post-reading review?Isn't this embarrassing for him?
Wei Xia was fighting fiercely in his heart, and Director called him: "I prepared a steak, come and eat some."

"Just come."

Wei Xia put the book he had read quickly on the sofa.

Director gave him a huge medium-rare steak by the standards of Texas. It was served with a delicious sauce. The wafting aroma of the meat and the oily juices at a glance made one's appetite full.

"How did you feel after reading that book?" Director asked.

Wei Xia said bluntly: "Women are really the easiest creatures in the world to fall in love at first sight."

"It seems that you didn't see it in vain." Director laughed.

Unfortunately, this fact was of no use to him.Because it is impossible for him to write a [-]-word post-reading review around this matter.
