You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 406 The Evolution of Mr. Key

"Maybe you need to talk to No. 24 in the opposite locker room, and maybe we have a chance to win. Seriously, he controlled the game. If you double-team him, he can find open shooters on the outside; if you don't double-team him, he is so strong and skilled to make those layups. What he's doing, every team he goes to has a chance to win a championship, for me, I don't know what the definition of MVP is. He makes everyone on the team better, he makes every opponent play hard."

Hearing Zach Randolph's evaluation of Kobe after the game, Wei Xia is basically sure that they were beaten mentally.

"If you double-team him, he can find open shooters on the outside" is really inappropriate for Kobe.

Because Kobe has been ignoring the open space formed by double-teaming him from the beginning of the game.

Double-teaming means he doesn't even think about shooting directly. Three-teaming means two teammates are open, but he never looks at his teammates.

Even if he is double-teamed by more than three people, he still plays mainly offensively.

He completely disregarded team discipline.

Although he has 6 assists, but in terms of his performance tonight, words such as lone wolf, ball bully, selfishness, and system destroyer are all appropriate to apply to him.

However, when a person encounters such a serious double-team in a modern basketball game and scores 50 points, 67 rebounds and 8 assists with a shooting percentage of more than 6%, it is no longer important whether he is selfish or not.

Wei Xia can finally understand why Chamberlain's team would rather let him take over the game alone, playing for 48 minutes from beginning to end, making his teammates completely reduced to passing the ball to him.

因为他确确实实可以在那个荒芜的时代，用50%左右的命中率，场均砍下37分、38分、50分、44分、36分、38分、30分、33分、34分…这里面有的赛季命中率高达54%，但却没有一个赛季夺冠。

This has nothing to do with Chamberlain himself.However, it is also related to the connivance of the team.The more a team relies on individual performance, the easier it is to be defeated.

Chamberlain successfully won the championship in the first season when he gave up the scoring champion, and Kobe must also wake up.

Compliments from opponents simply overwhelmed Bryant.

After Randolph finished boasting, it was Brandon Roy's turn.

"He makes the game difficult. When we execute the play, he can see through your play and react accordingly. You have to be smart enough to judge on the court which possessions you do this and which possessions you do that. Like I said, he is a good basketball player who can control the game. You have to give him credit."

That night, Los Angeles was in a state of excitement. In the Lakers locker room, everyone teased each other in the name of Kobe Bryant's henchman.

Jackson smiled at the players' jokes and didn't limit them at all, just saying: "We played a beautiful game, Kobe, this is one of the greatest regular seasons I have ever seen."

Kobe nodded slightly.

Switching to the previous Jackson would immediately point out Kobe's selfishness, but everyone has seen the situation of the Lakers.

Wei Xia doesn't know what's wrong and has no desire to attack. The injury is not healed. He only plays 30 minutes in a game. If Kobe doesn't pick up his 20-point output, who will resist?
Therefore, it makes sense for Kobe to increase his offensive weight.

Jackson also knew this very well, so he didn't say much.

After disbanding that night, Wei Xia returned home, but he found no one.

Recently, Wei Qiu and Li Zhongxian don't know what they are fooling around with, and Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end.

And counting the time, Li Zhongxian is a senior this year.His elder brother Wei Qiu did not go to university at the beginning, so he went to high school for an extra year and is now a junior.According to their drunken life, Wei Xia worried that they would not be able to graduate on time.

Before taking a bath, Wei Xia called Wei Qiu.

The moment Wei Qiu received the call, there was a loud sound from inside.

They were almost certainly in a bar somewhere in Los Angeles.

Wei Xia heard from Wei Qiu a few days ago that it is very useful to pick up girls under the name of "Brother Wish" when you are away from home.Wei Qiu always strikes up a conversation with women in the name of Wei Xia. Once those women with cerebellar problems show interest, he will increase the intensity, for example, to introduce them to Wei Xia, give them Wei Xia's contact information, or take them home to meet Wei Xia, but the premise is, um... After all, there is no free lunch in the world.

Of course Wei Qiu was just talking, Wei Xia didn't know how many women he had slandered in his name behind his back, he just hoped that this stupid brother could control himself.

"Felix, tonight's game was so exciting! Everyone here is crazy!"

The brother screamed so loudly that he almost hung up the phone.

"Where are you?"

Then a woman chimed in: "Who's calling? Is it Wish? Can I have a word with him?"

In less than a few seconds, Wei Xia's phone flashed a strange woman's voice.

Now he has to hang up if he doesn't hang up.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Xia went to take a shower and go to bed.

Consciousness drifts to the 60s.

When the All-Star Weekend strike happened, the outside world knew nothing about it.This incident was not exposed by reporters until several years later. After all, basketball at that time had not become one of the mainstream sports in the United States as it did later.

Few journalists follow the line, and even fewer are willing to write about it.

After such a fierce conflict in the locker room, can the relationship between the stars of each team and the team return to the past?

Wei Xia doesn't know about other teams.

At Celtic, it's business as usual.

The boss Walter Brown, who categorically stated that he would fire Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn, and Bill Russell, seemed to forget about it the next day.

Although Reid Auerbach, who almost broke the players apart, complained, it was not aimed at the players, but that after the salary level of the league increased in the future, one of his clauses that allowed players to play chicken blood in the playoffs would be invalidated.

That's called the playoff bonus clause.

While there are still many who are fighting for dignity, many are still fighting for the color of their skin, and many more are fighting against the prejudices of the world.But no matter what you're fighting for, you're always going to have to eat, you're always going to be raising a family, you're always going to be taking care of yourself as a person.To do this, what you need is not dreams, but money.

That's what the Celtics' playoff bonuses are for.

If the salary of the players rises sharply, unless the original bonus is doubled, it will not be so attractive to the players.

We all know that Walter Brown is one of the poorer owners in the league.

He inherited a family business, and he is honest and honest, which is why he has no money.

There is no profiteering or business.

Old Brown has never had anything to do with treachery all his life. This kind of person can win the respect of others, but he can't revitalize the family, nor can he expand his own assets.

Therefore, the increase in salary has a great impact on the Celtics' playoffs.

Perhaps, they really need to use love to generate electricity in the future.

The Lakers in reality and the Celtics in the dream have similar season progress.

The Lakers have played until the end of March, and the Celtics also ushered in the last month of the schedule.

Looking at the league, the Celtics are still the team with the strongest book lineup, even if they don't even have a point guard.

The Cincinnati Royals are a big threat. Every time Big O plays against the Celtics, he is in a state of explosion, but no matter how strong he is, he is not as strong as Elgin Baylor.

The Lakers have huge hidden dangers inside, which is nothing to worry about.

The glory of the St. Louis Eagles belongs to the past and is no longer the main opponent of the Celtics.

However, the Warriors who added Thurmond are worth noting.

Wei Xia was practicing shooting, and he intervened to change Havlicek's life trajectory, allowing the latter to practice one-handed shooting earlier.

But he often practiced standing far from the basket, which puzzled his teammates.

"Shooting from that position can't get you an extra point, why don't you stand closer?" Jones asked strangely.

Wei Xia will not be so stupid as to tell Jones about the three-pointer in the future. With Jones' IQ, it is enough to deal with it casually: "You don't understand this?"

"What? What did you say?!" Hearing Wei Xia's contemptuous tone, Jones asked anxiously, "You're talking about not shooting from a close-range position, why are you shooting so far! Boy, don't think that you can pretend to be an expert in front of me after practicing for a few days. You are still far behind. Your shooting skills are 100 years worse than your strike-up skills!"

Even if you are ugly, your IQ is still low.

Wei Xia let out a long sigh: "If I can shoot the ball stably from such a long position, is the short-range shooting still a problem? Could it be that I can make difficult long-range shots but not low-difficulty close-range jump shots? You don't understand such a simple truth? It's really..."

"What are you proud of!" Jones turned to Rufeng, "Do you think I don't understand? I just want to test you. It seems that you have made great progress. I am very pleased!"

Wei Xia looked at the witty Jones: "I blamed you, Sao Rui."

"It's good to know that you're wrong. It's not too late if you dare to admit your mistakes. I'm optimistic about you!" Jones patted Wei Xia's shoulder, and became a good model for the two brothers again.

Then, Jones walked away, and after a while, Wei Xia found that Jones, like him, chose to practice shooting in the middle and long distances.

By coincidence, Jones had a difficult period in which his shooting percentage plummeted by 5 percentage points.But after all, he was one of the earliest sharpshooters. After adapting to the rhythm of mid- and long-range jump shots, his shooting memory gradually emerged.

"Mr. Key" Sam Jones thus became a more difficult to defend super scorer.
