You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 359
"Someone goes from being a ball-goggler averaging 27 shots per game to a humble 'perfect leader' without saying hello, and we can't get used to it for a while."

Facing the reporter, Wei Xia's words had something to say.

The reporter asked him, "Who is so-and-so?"

"Maybe I imagined it. I can't believe that person suddenly became humble. He should be consistent, firmly believe in his own strength, ignore the vacancy of his teammates, and lead us like in the past. I would rather regard him now as a clone made by aliens."

Wei Xia's words sounded harsh enough.

Phil Jackson was more direct: "Kobe didn't look like a leader tonight."

Wei Xia thought that he had reached a consensus with Phil Jackson after a long absence.

As a result, in the video hall the next day.

"Wish, explain to me, where is your defense? What are you looking at? Do you have the awareness to protect the rebound? Are you really putting your heart and soul into the game? I can't believe you were distracted at that moment. Who do you think we are playing? It's the Pistons! The best team in the East, what are you thinking?!"

Jackson's hoarse voice shouted with a heavy tone.

Wei Xia sat in his seat, and Kyle Lowry and Wayne Worf beside him didn't dare to show their anger.

The position of the two of them became conspicuous as Jackson's artillery fire concentrated on Wesha.

Lowry, who has always been optimistic and cheerful, hopes that the present moment will pass as soon as possible.

Weaver has long been used to Wei Xia being sprayed, he is just not used to being the focus.

Wei Xia, who was in the center of the storm, looked at Jackson unexpectedly and without surprise.

Is he the one who deserves the most scolding?Obviously not.

Jackson publicly said yesterday that Kobe is not like a leader, but he did not extend that topic to the video room.He knew who could provoke him and who could not, so he simply threw Wei Xia what he should say to Kobe.

This is called "knowing elegance by listening to string songs".

Wei Xia squinted his eyes and kept smiling, the expression on his face was not affected by Jackson at all.

His courage and fearlessness of "it's all my fault, come to me if there is anything, and I, Wei, will bear it together" deeply infected his teammates.

Even Radmanovich, an idiot who always likes to doze off in the video room, listened carefully to him.

The replay meeting ended, and Jackson left the video room first.

"Felix, how did you come here in the past few years?" Lowry's reverent and pitiful eyes made Wei Xia very uncomfortable.

Wei Xia made a strong look: "Just come here, it's no big deal."

"Don't feel bad for him, he has a thick skin, he has been scolded by Phil until he has no shame." Kobe sneered.

"How dare you say that, who am I being scolded for? Others don't know, but you don't know about someone?" Wei Xia finally got a little angry.

Jackson obviously scolded Kobe's share together, maybe those contents were all scolding Kobe, Wei Xia suffered a lot of accusations that he shouldn't bear, did someone comfort him, and he was still acting weird?

What Kobe cared about made Wei Xia powerless: "It turns out that the 'someone' you mentioned is really me?"

"Sibaer!" Wei Xia lost all self-cultivation, "How good do you feel about yourself? There should be no one in the world who doesn't know that the 'someone' I'm talking about is you!"

"There must be some people who don't know," Kobe flexibly used his authority to defeat Wei Xia, "Vaughn, do you know in advance who the 'someone' in Wish's mouth is?"

Just as Wei Xia was about to sneer, it would be fine if Kobe threatened others. Who is Weaver?How could his classmates, his good friends, who could even be called brothers, betray him!
"I didn't know it before, and I don't know it now, doesn't 'somebody' mean anyone?"

Wei Xia forgot something, Weaver is not only his good brother, but also a famous dog licking in the Lakers.

"You" Wei Xia was so angry that he had to explode, "You are such a dog-legged Sibaer!"

Weaver's response killed Wei Xia.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"You really have a bright future, Vaughan." Kobe nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"No, no." Weaver quickly left Wei Xia's side, and said respectfully in front of Kobe, "It's all because we have the best leader in the world, and I have a bright future by his side."

The most disgusting dog lick is one that makes the person being licked feel disgusted.

Kobe slipped.

Wei Xia has a bad look in his eyes.

"Wish, I was forced to do nothing."

"Stay away from me, we break off friendship."

※※※

Wei Xia's insinuations, or Jackson's criticism by name, are far less intense than the critics' reaction.

"Kobe will never be able to lead the Lakers to revival, he is at most just an excellent box office star!"

"If the Lakers count on him to revitalize the team, they will be disappointed. He has no championship genes and leadership qualities at all. A true leader cannot only have a sense of presence in the last quarter."

"For three years, Kobe just proved that he is not qualified to be compared with 'Shark' at all. Please don't compare the two of them in the future."

Critics can open their mouths and spray Kobe into a ghost.

The Lakers' journey will not be suspended because of this.

The next opponent is the Grizzlies from Memphis.

During the offseason, the Grizzlies decided to say goodbye to the past.

They traded one of the team's key players, Shane Battier.

Although Battier is not an All-Star player, his defense and comprehensiveness are extremely suitable for Pau Gasol. Sending him away means rebuilding.

The Grizzlies sent Battier and got Andrew Wiggins before Andrew Wiggins-in terms of physical talent, Rudy Gay with a super high ceiling.

Also, the easter egg of Battier's trade is that, in addition to getting Gay's signing rights, they also welcomed back Stromile Swift, who had been placed with high hopes.

But today, Gasol is free because of injuries.

Without the core players, the Grizzlies, who are not competitive, still want to compete with the Lakers. They don't want to admit defeat on the spot.

After three and a half quarters of fierce confrontation between the two sides, the Grizzlies were blown away.

Three Lakers scored more than 20 points.

They are Lamar Odom, Kobe and "the smartest Laker".

Wei Xia scored 14 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists that were infinitely close to a triple-double.

There is only one assist away from the triple-double. Wei Xia didn't feel annoyed or regretted about it. He didn't even realize that he was only one assist away from the triple-double.

Jackson let him play the full fourth quarter just to get him a triple-double, but he never did.

Four minutes before the end, he was doing nothing and didn't care about the statistics. He tried his best to make Bynum, Turiaf, Lowry and others play happily. Only when he entered the defensive round did he have a sense of presence.

"Some people are willing to be a joker to get a triple-double, and he wasted 4 minutes in vain, just to prove to us again that he is really a player who does not fight for statistics."

After the game, Jackson joked about Wei Xia wasting 4 minutes: "I will score 99 points for tonight's game, and the 1 point deducted will be counted on Wish, because he wasted the opportunity to achieve a triple-double."

"If there is a chance in the future, I will call myself a timeout, and arrange a tactic that can help me get assists to get a triple-double." Wei Xia laughed at himself to the media.

The night was over.

Two days later, it was still home.

The Raptors are waiting at the Staples Center.

Kobe scored 81 points against them last season, making them ridiculed by the entire league. Because of Kobe's 81-point battle, the main defenders did not even leave the field with six fouls.

Michael Jordan once used this to imply that Kobe's 81 points did not have that high gold content.

The opponent soars a terrifying high score, and the defender has not fouled out and leaves the field, which is usually treated as two points.

One is that he has no sense of shame, otherwise why would he stay on the court?

One is that he doesn't defend well, otherwise he won't be called a foul?
The Raptors, who have become a joke, are not afraid of the Lakers at all. They decided to fight again with real swords and guns.

Today, the man defending Kobe was replaced by Anthony Parker (Anthony Parker SG/SF) from Jaylen Rose last season.

The man is most praised for his brains and outside shooting.

As a role player, what others praise him shows that he is indeed excellent in some aspects.But no one ever praised Parker's defense.

It is not a wise decision for the Raptors to let Parker guard Kobe.

Ever since the Lakers had a guy named Smush Parker, Bryant was allergic to the Parker surname.

Against the Raptors at home, Kobe's desire to attack was not high. He took 19 shots and hit 10 goals, resulting in 12 free throws.

Parker was beaten to six fouls and Kobe scored 50 points, 31 rebounds and 11 assists on 7% shooting.

Wei Xia followed behind him, contributing 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Because they grabbed so many rebounds, Odom played 40 minutes in an embarrassment, grabbing 4 rebounds.

The Lakers won another game, and then, waiting for them is still home.

To be precise, they will play at home for the four games before Thanksgiving.

After defeating the Raptors, they also need to play against the Bulls and fellow city brothers the Clippers.

The Lakers are determined not to lose before Thanksgiving, and they have to defend five home games with all their strength.

In the next game against the Bulls, Kobe went offline, took 14 shots and scored 15 points. However, with Odom's 20 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists and Wecha's 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, he lay flat and hugged his teammates' thighs to win the game.

In the last game before Thanksgiving, facing the Clippers who eliminated them last season, Kobe, who was wearing No. 24, finally looked like No. 8.

Kobe made 24 of 14 shots and 18 of 15 free throws. He blew up the Clippers. He scored 45 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
