You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 380 Claiming to be the best in the league

The game between the Lakers and the Mavericks had an unexpected result.

The Mavericks, who are good at offense, lost to the Lakers on the offensive end.

Devin Harris used the media to express his views on Weixia: "He is an excellent player, but I don't like him."

Acknowledging Wei Xia's excellence but not liking him shows how much shadow Harris has left in his heart.

Jason Terry, who was expelled because of Wescia, was much more direct about his evaluation: "Well, he may have won the game. OK, he played well. But he will never earn my respect. He is not a man, mean and shameless, and will never accept challenges like a man!"

Someone relayed their comments to Wesha.

Wei Xia listened to what they said, with a smile on his face: "I can't decide what others think of me, that's their freedom."

"Aren't you angry?"

"If the opponent has a bad impression of me, it means that I gave them a bad game experience." Wei Xia smiled harmlessly, "Why should I be angry that I did a good job?"

He said it with reason and evidence, and the media didn't know how to take it up.

With the help of Wei Xia, he scored the highest score in the game, and Kobe, who took away most of the attention because the opponent's defense repeatedly forced his opponent to jump up and down, could not support Wei Xia in public or private: "He has done his job. That's what we need him to do. He doesn't need to be troubled by anyone, anything, or any sissy complaints."

The Lakers decided to move on.

The Mavericks' winning streak ended here.

They are on the road to becoming a legend, the 2006-07 Dallas Mavericks, without a doubt one of the most exciting teams.

Wonderful offense, orderly defense, and a deep, hard and thick rotation lineup make them look like the Iron Warriors.

The four-game losing streak at the beginning of the season made it doubtful that they had fallen into the defeat in 2006 and could not recover, but they soon came to a wave of 12 consecutive victories to stop everyone's mouth.Then they won and lost until December 12th, and there was another wave of winning streaks. Until they met the Lakers again, they seemed to have entered a powerful state that only five aliens could be defeated in a team.

Losing to the Lakers is not the beginning of another sinking, but the start of another winning streak.

A victory over the league's No. [-] team has provided little incentive for the Lakers.

Winning the Mavericks has been unable to cause any fluctuations in their minds. They have relied on Kobe's miraculous performance to defeat their opponents in the most difficult times, let alone now.

The next game is against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Today's Grizzlies are not the pseudo-strong team that can win 50 wins in the Western Conference in the past few seasons, and then be eliminated 4-0 again and again in the playoffs.

The Grizzlies, who decided to turn the page, could see from the beginning of trading Battier that they were going to rebuild.

With Mike Miller on the outside and Pau Gasol on the inside, the lineup is fairly neat, but any team that has Rudy Gay and trains him as a key player will hardly have any hope for the playoffs.

At present, the Grizzlies have won 7 wins, ranking first in the West.

Facing this enemy, the most ideal result for the Lakers is to withdraw troops in the third quarter and practice substitutes in the fourth quarter.After all, losing all the games that should be lost is a task that must be completed every night for a bad team.

Some people may not believe it.

The Grizzlies restrained the Lakers.

Strictly speaking, what they restrained was the Lakers who lost O'Neal.

Counting from the 2004-05 season, the Lakers played eight games against the Grizzlies, with 2 wins and 6 losses.

Although today's Grizzlies are already the number one experience baby in the Western Conference, they are still brave enough to face the Lakers. They have to win a game or two to show their strength, and they are by no means as weak as the rankings indicate.

Grizzlies coach Tony Barone (Tony Barone) has grown up.

His original intention was to let the Lakers fight hard.

After all, the two sides have a good relationship in private, helping the Lakers to train the team, giving up the game at the last moment, not only made a mess, but also saved face, and let the friendly team play a high-quality confrontation match, killing three birds with one stone, how beautiful is it?

There are many important things in life, one of which is knowing how important you are and knowing your own abilities.

Baron undoubtedly overestimated his control.

Because he failed to control that speed, his team's sturdy offense, Gasol's amazing 25 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists penetrated the Lakers' inside line, plus Mike Miller's 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and five other players scored in double figures, leading to the Lakers unexpectedly swallowing a defeat.

After winning the ball, Baron was not happy.

The Grizzlies who won the ball did not feel the slightest joy.

Tony Barone's expression was as stern as Larry Bird's in the 1998 Eastern Conference finals when he watched Reggie Miller push Jordan away and hit a three-pointer.

The seriousness of "we're going to be in big fucking trouble" on his face really doesn't look like what the winning side should have.

It is a science to lead the team to control the field badly.

If you do it well, even if you can't become a famous coach, you can still be among the professional households who are bad, and are favored by those teams that need bad performance.

You must know that there are only those teams that compete for the championship every year. There are always teams that fall to the bottom, and the teams that are hopeless can only do badly.

Tony Baron proved that he is an incompetent court controller with his strength. His NBA career only lasted one season, and he bid farewell to the front line of coaching.

The Lakers, who were defeated by the Grizzlies, inevitably doubted themselves.

That was the tail end of the Western Conference, and they even played a team performance with seven players scoring in double figures, knocking them out in a wave.

Losing to the Grizzlies seriously hurt the morale of the Lakers.

Two days later, they challenged the Rockets in an away game. Without Yao Huang's Rockets, the Lakers still couldn't get back the feeling of winning.

The chance of victory slipped through the fingers, Kobe was in a downturn, Wei Xia did not play well, and the Lakers failed again.

The Lakers returned to the home court to recuperate.

Los Angeles International Airport

The reporters stepped on the spot accurately, and the player turned to the microphone as soon as he got off the plane: "After two consecutive losses, how do you adjust?"

"There are constant flaws in the internal line, will you seek reinforcements?"

"Smush Parker is obviously not qualified for the starting number one position, why insist on letting him start?"

The third question was asked by Kobe from the reporter.

Hearing his question, Bryant's tantrum, accumulated anger at Parker and resentment towards management poured out: "Because we're so poor!"

Kobe said fiercely: "We have no money, so we have to endure a player who is not good enough to start!"

The Lakers have always been called a rich family by fans, and they are humane, but any team, the so-called rich, is also relative.

The Lakers have never been stingy about the salaries of their stars, and how much money they can get.

What about management and role players?Not so generous.

Jerry West, who laid the foundation of the two dynasties of the Lakers, was once exposed to low salary, and his treatment problem was not resolved until the beginning of the century.

As for now, it is a well-known fact that the Lakers do not want to spend money to buy people.

Keeping a player of Parker's caliber in the starters for so long is evidence of that.

How short of money would it take to put up with Parker?
Bryant's emotional outburst, the repercussions and aftermath caused discussions throughout Los Angeles.

Wei Xia originally only wanted to make soy sauce, but when he heard Kobe complaining to the management, he suddenly remembered what he heard on New Year's Eve.

What Bass revealed, and Trovis' analysis, all point to one point. Building a championship lineup with Kobe as the core is a complete lie.

Selling tickets with Kobe as the core to enhance the commercial value of the Lakers is in line with the current needs of the Lakers.

Some people want to ask, wouldn't it be better for the Lakers to increase the commercial value of the Lakers by letting Kobe lead the team to win the championship?
The answer is that the Lakers management did not regard him as the core of the championship from the beginning.

It was Kobe's performance last season that shook some people's minds.

At least he proved that he deserves to be valued like Jordan.

As a result, opinions within the Lakers were divided, but for various reasons, their biggest reinforcement was the signing of Vladimir Radmanovic.

Radmanovic is currently holding the third salary in the team, making the contribution of the seventh and eighth.

One day after returning to the home court, the Lakers waited until their opponent, the Orlando Magic, came to challenge.

Magic is also a team with a strong inside lineup.

The last high school champion, Dwight Howard, was paired with Tony Batty, the No. [-] pick of parallel imports. Although his combat power was not super strong, he was definitely stronger than the Lakers. Grant Hill, who had been waiting for six years, was the son of God locked on the cross and one of the most tragic successors of Jordan. Finally, he ushered in rare health.

During the game, Wei Xia was facing Hill.

Tonight, Hill is in good form, with a natural advantage in height, and with the support of his hand, he firmly suppressed Wei Xia.

但科比却是发疯了似的疯狂出手41球，命中18颗，不讲道理地拔下52分5篮板4助攻。

Under his bravery, the Magic's hope of sending the Lakers to a three-game losing streak was shattered.

Wei Xia, who scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, sat next to Kobe and listened to the media's questions about him.

Tonight, there are two questions that can be called the best.

And the two issues are interrelated.

First question: "Kobe, how does it feel to score 52 points and win?"

"Makes me feel like the best player in the league."

There was an uproar at his words, the best in the league?Okay, you are qualified to say that, but no one is the best in the league by yourself, because everyone recognizes you, and you are the best in the league. What is it if you canonize yourself as the best in the league?
"Why did you say that?"

The reporter decided to give Kobe a chance to save himself.

Unexpectedly, Kobe's cold humor came so suddenly: "Because I scored while enduring Smash Parker, no one knows how to deal with pressure better than me."
