You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 389

The referee blew the final whistle and the game came to an end.

Wei Xia stood up confidently from the bench. Just looking at the statistics, he is far behind Kobe, only the assists are good.

But if you want to systematically discuss his contributions, his performance is beyond criticism from both offensive and defensive ends.

It took only 9 shots to score 16 points, allowing Arenas to get 34 points, which is not enough to be happy, at the cost of 22 shots and a 27% shooting rate.

It can be said that the Wizards lost on the offensive efficiency of Arenas.

As soon as the game ended, Arenas walked to the Lakers' bench and said to Wei Xia: "You won, and it was wonderful to win. I will remember what happened tonight. I hope you don't get too complacent."

Wei Xia showed a faint smile, he was never overly proud.

"You mean, I can be a little proud on the basis of 'don't be too proud'?" Wei Xia's reading comprehension got full marks from Arenas.

"Of course!" Arenas laughed heartily. "Under your defense, I look like a piece of shit. If the league didn't allow us to wear negative number jerseys, I would never wear No. 0."

For a long time, Arenas may be the first player who was completely irritated by Weixia and did not hold grudges after the game.

"No. 0 is very suitable for you." The opponent respected him, so he naturally couldn't put his nose on the face. Wei Xia has never been an arrogant and rude person.

Finally, Arenas and Wei Xia shook hands.

"Next season, I will still find a way to score 70 points on your head, which is what you owe me." Arenas suddenly changed from a herbivore to a carnivore, and said fiercely.

If Arenas can score 70 points in a game, even in the regular season, it will be a game that will be recorded in history.

Some people want to put themselves in history, even if it is a Brian Russell-style shame background board, Wei Xia is also happy.

"I look forward to that day." Wei Xia said bluntly.

Arenas only thought he was speaking ironically, snorted wildly, and turned around.

His number 0, his arrogance, and his confidence that he can shoot from any position after crossing the LOGO are all points that make him difficult for opponents.

The weather is unpredictable, Wei Xia and Arenas did not expect that the battle tonight will be tomorrow's peak duel.

In the not-too-distant future, Arenas has been plagued by injuries and scandals involving guns in the locker room. He has quickly slipped from a superstar in the league to an ordinary player who no one cares about. Later, he even joined the CBA league in mainland China with the most difficult player named by Kobe himself.

At this time, Arenas was only 25 years old, and he was rising rapidly. Who would have thought that his fall would be like a meteor.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xia is still looking forward to the matchup next season.

It's a pity that when we meet again, we are destined to be different every year.

"It's rare that someone is willing to shake your hand after the game." Kobe joked to Wei Xia after accepting the live interview.

Wei Xia felt the same when he heard it, even he himself felt strange.

"It shows that he respects my way of playing." Wei Xia separates things on and off the court. Except for Andre Bogut, O'Neal with a small belly, and countless small-minded opponents, he hardly takes their conflicts to heart.

Kobe wanted to continue joking, but couldn't think of anything interesting to stimulate Wei Xia.

His provocative talent is not as strong as that of Wei Xia.

I like to make inappropriate jokes.

"It's okay, wait until the All-Star Weekend and you can have a good 'mutual respect' again." Bryant said.

At this time, it was already the beginning of February.

Voting for the All-Star Weekend is over.

Wei Xia, who was in the second grade, was selected for the All-Star Game together with Kobe.

The player he pushed out of the All-Star Game was Ray Allen of the Seattle SuperSonics.

Kobe doesn't like Ray Allen, and the two had a quarrel before because of the number of shots. Wei Xia pushed him out of the All-Star this time, which undoubtedly made Kobe feel comfortable.

Of course, there are many people who doubt it.

In terms of statistics alone, "Jesus" looks much better than Wei Xia.

He averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

Wei Xia averaged just 20 points per game, in addition to 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists.

In terms of the gold content of the data, Allen is the true core that led the Sonics to the last place in the Western Conference. Although the record is not good, the opponent's defensive focus must fall on him.

Wei Xia is the second in command to help the Lakers return to the top five in the Western Conference. With Kobe around him to attract firepower, while getting this data, the defensive pressure they face is not the greatest.

Ray Allen fans were outraged.

This is not the first time Lakers fans have praised a rookie. Kobe was sent to the Western Conference All-Star team by the Lakers fans in the second grade with extremely irrational votes. He also played head-to-head with Jordan for three quarters at the All-Star Weekend.

Wei Xia's selection to the All-Star Weekend is more convincing than Kobe was back then.

First off, data is better.

Secondly, Kobe was the fourth or fifth player in the Lakers back then, and Wei Xia was the second player in the Lakers.

And, when Kobe suppressed a group of big shots to enter the starting lineup, Wei Xia only suppressed Ray Allen, who had the lowest vote rate, to enter the roster at the buzzer.

The opponent's data is better, Weixia's record is better, and the number of Lakers fans is crushed. If you really want to "sit and talk", the sound of the Supersonics is not enough to watch.

He won the Sixth Man of the Year award in the first year, and was an All-Star in the second year. Wei Xia's progress can be seen with the naked eye.

But what he wants to see more is to be selected to the best defensive team of the year, even if it is a second team.

In these days, it is not easy to enter the defensive formation, because his position is very awkward.

He should be compared with guards, but in the Lakers he always plays on the wing and occasionally guards.Although he is a shooting guard, what will the league think?

If it is a wing, if it is considered a forward, then he will compete with Bowen, Duncan, Garnett, Prince, Raja Bell and others.

If you count as a guard, it is assumed that Kobe occupies a first-defense position, Kidd also occupies a position, and Wei Xia has full confidence in competing with others.

Wei Xia and Kobe returned to the locker room.

Jackson asked Wei Xia to pack up and prepare to attend the press conference.

Wei Xia, who didn't want to move at all, was forced to change into a suit and went to the media interview room with Kobe and Zen Master.

"Arenas thinks that playing against you is the most difficult thing as an NBA player. What do you think of his evaluation?"

Reporters in Washington throw questions.

If Kobe is not involved, Wei Xia's answer style is fixed: "Gilbert is a competitive superstar, he does not tell lies, I agree."

He praised Arenas back and, in his style, humored him.

Driving the atmosphere of the press conference tended to be harmonious, the matter of Kobe not scoring 60 points was once again put on the table by the media.He sticks to his original statement - that is, he doesn't want to spend garbage time swiping data.

After the game ended, Wei Xia, Kobe, and Jackson returned to the locker room.

Zen Master gave a short lecture and let the players leave.

Some want to take the bus back to the hotel, some want to have some fun, and Wei Xia wants to fill his stomach.

A teammate wanted to invite him to a nightclub, but he refused. He just wanted something to eat and went back to the hotel to sleep.

Only Ryan Hollins followed him.

It was very embarrassing to go out alone with Hollins, he never took the initiative to speak, and if Wei Xia deliberately made a topic, his reaction was only a perfunctory "Oh, is it?"

They stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant.

The name of the Chinese restaurant is extremely simple, just use four Chinese characters plus alphabetic pinyin: China Restaurant.

As if afraid that others would not know.

"Can you have Chinese food?" Wei Xia asked.

"I'm not a picky eater," Hollins said.

If he is not picky eater, then go in.

Basketball is not something that attracts much attention in the Washington area. After all, it is the capital, and the local people care more about politics.

Therefore, Wei Xia is not as attractive as the 210 cm Hollins.

The guy asked Hollins: "Sir, you are so tall, you must play volleyball?"

Hollins nodded.

Then came a waiter with an Asian face: "What do you need?"

"Have you ever eaten Chinese food?" Wei Xia asked.

Hollins thought for a moment, "I've eaten dumplings."

"A serving of fried noodles, Roujiamo, three delicacies soup and dumplings." Wei Xia immediately ordered the dishes.

The waiter went, and Hollins and Wesha remained silent for several minutes.

Wei Xia just wanted to see how autistic he was.

Hollins finally realized he had to say something to break the growing awkward situation, "Do you like Chinese food very much?"

"It can't be said that I like it very much. I just have an inexplicable intimacy with things from China. This has something to do with my family." Wei Xia's preference for Chinese food is not limited to this.

Also related to the late Red Auerbach.

During his career as a basketball coach, Auerbach always ate Chinese food after games.His reasoning is simple: In almost any NBA city, there is a Chinese restaurant that will be open late at night.He would call ahead and have food packed and eaten in his room on the way home from the game.What's more, since he always has to eat steamed food, it doesn't affect his sleep like other foods.

Chinese food has nourished the most successful dynasty franchise in NBA history, allowing the man at the helm of that team to juggle his daily affairs while sleeping soundly every night and waking up refreshed for the airport before heading to the next city.It was the dark ages of the NBA, when teams traveled economy class and woke up at dawn to catch the first flight to the next city.There are no strict regulations; no five-star hotels; no reassuring means of transportation.

For Auerbach, the most famous coach in NBA history, most nights were the same: a game, lunch before bed, a pre-dawn wake, and a flight to somewhere as the sun rose.

Wei Xia has traveled to the past few years, and occasionally eats Chinese food ordered by Auerbach.He found that the Chinese food Auerbach ate was different from the one he was eating now, which had been modified to cater to American taste buds, but authentic Chinese fried noodles.

It's a pity that this so-called "Chinese restaurant" restaurant is also a restaurant that goes with the crowd, and their Chinese food is for Americans.

But it's also understandable, it needs to be just right.
