You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 468 Going Around and Back to the Origin (954)

The Lakers ushered in 2008 with joy, and from the moment Kobe gave up his trade application, they were on the fast lane.

Back in his hometown of Philadelphia, Wei Xia's parents came to watch the game, and the Lakers gave the 76ers a disastrous defeat.

In this battle, Kobe didn't score many points, and Weicha got the team's most 24 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists.

He was hoping for a triple-double, but Andrew Bynum's control of the rebounds thwarted his wish.Bynum firmly controlled the penalty area with an extremely strong posture.

With 17 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks, his active performance successfully allowed the Lakers to put Jamal Magloire, the only unstable factor in the team, on the trading cart.

What the Lakers did was to kill the donkey. They said all good things when they pursued Magloire, but they had to drive him away within half a season.

The management's approach has been criticized by many people. However, some reporters revealed that Magloire does not have a friend in the team.

Staying in Los Angeles will be a torment for both him and the Lakers.

In the New Year's battle, the Lakers beat the 76ers.

The reporter pushed the microphone in front of Wei Xia and asked him the significance of the campaign.

"Every victory feels the same." Wei Xia laughed, "However, winning in Philadelphia does have a special meaning."

Due to the tight schedule, Wei Xia only returned to the hotel after a short gathering with his parents after the game.

The oncoming New Year's second opponent, the Indiana Pacers, who have been rebuilding since Reggie Miller retired, are a tough bone.

They are the kind of new stars who obviously lack talent and have nothing to use as the cornerstone to build a lineup, but they are determined not to be bad. They just want to use the existing lineup to tap the potential and fight to the end.

This kind of team will win people's respect, but due to many reasons, it is difficult to become a championship team.

They wanted to fight the Lakers wholeheartedly, and achieved another highlight battle for Bynum.

The depth of the Pacers' inside line is undoubtedly higher than that of the Lakers, starting with O'Neal and Troy Murphy.The Lakers were allergic to the surname O'Neal again, and they were about to be blown up inside, and Bynum stood up again.

This young man who was just 20 years old and 1 months old played against Jermaine O'Neill, defeated Murphy, rebounded Jason Foster, who ranked among the best in rebounding rate, and scored 1 points, 23 rebounds and 13 blocks in a single game.

"For AB, as long as he can realize 50% of his talents, he can become a star insider."

After the game, Bryant rarely boasted to Bynum.

Starting from the new year, Bynum seems to have opened up the two lines of Ren and Du. He is no longer just a fake starter who averages about 25 minutes per game.

A day later, facing the Grizzlies back-to-back, Wei Xia and Kobe played exactly the same stats with similar efficiency.

The two scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists at the same time. The Grizzlies, who have fallen from a strong team in the Western Conference to the lowest level, could not stop the progress of the Lakers.

Then came the big meeting.

When the Lakers fought the Hornets, Chris Paul, who was in the same third grade as Wei Xia, also achieved a super evolution from a quasi-All-Star to a superstar this season. He currently leads the team to 23 wins and 11 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference.

It can be said that Paul is the only player who can threaten Kobe's MVP.

The game between the two teams is also regarded by the outside world as a battle of MVP vane.

Whoever wins, the selection of MVP will favor whoever wins.

Unless someone scores 50 points and loses to the opponent who scored 10 points.

Of course Wei Xia knew about their MVP competition, and he also knew that Kobe wanted it very much. It doesn't mean anything to get too many MVPs. For example, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has the most MVPs, but this thing is a status symbol.

As a super giant, don't you have the nerve to have an MVP?

Wei Xia is only dissatisfied with one thing, and that is that he did not enter the MVP discussion.What he means is, if even Paul can enter the MVP discussion, why not him?

Paul led the team to 23 wins and 11 losses, averaging 20 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists per game. He helped Kobe lead the Lakers to the second record in the Western Conference, averaging 23.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. Except for assists, nothing can compare to Paul.Why did Paul predict the second MVP, but he didn't even make the top five?
With this in mind, Wei Xia did two things in the game against the Hornets.

Lock up Paul and help Kobe get the data.

Paul naturally hoped that his teammates could give him strength. In the end, the only reliable one was Tyson Chandler, who needed him to personally feed the cake into his mouth.

David West missed a shot and was suppressed by Odom.

Peja was habitually lax about the Lakers, probably thinking he was still wearing a Kings jersey.

Paul himself is not much better, Weixia adopts a one-for-one matchup strategy, and almost does not need any data, so he will lock Paul.

If Paul completes a positional attack-shooting, then Wei Xia will definitely give him a fierce confrontation in a short time, and it doesn't matter if he is called a foul. This method is more effective than form.

Under Wei Xia's steadfast defense, Paul's shooting percentage fell below 34%, and with the help of his teammates, Kobe scored [-] points with more than half of his shooting percentages. The Lakers beat the Hornets.

In addition to Wei Xia's role cannot be reflected in the data, Bynum's performance is still worth mentioning.

10中8，17分9篮板4助攻3盖帽。

"Do the Lakers still need reinforcements? With the evolution of AB, their inside line is no longer a short board!"

The exclamation from various media reflected the impact of Bynum's activity since the New Year.

Since Wei Xia joined the Lakers, their outside line is not weaker than any team, and every time there is a problem, it is the inside line.

If Bynum can solve this problem, the significance is great and the impact is bad.

Such a Lakers don't have any shortcomings, and Weixia and Bynum are very young. With them, the Lakers will be the leading team until Kobe Bryant's major degradation.Moreover, no one can be sure whether these two young kings will make great progress in the future.

The critics' praise for Bynum is not over yet, but he broke out again.

In the last game of the season against the Bucks, Kobe Bryant scored 37 points and Wechat had 15 points and 8 rebounds. They played the strongest battle of their career against Bynum, the No. [-] pick in the same draft.

"He makes Andre Bogut look like Kwame Brown, Michael Olowokandi!"

Wei Xia felt that Bynum was in a hot state at the beginning of the game, so he gave the ball in whenever he had the opportunity.

Bynum did not waste opportunities at all. He became the most stable end point for the Lakers, educating Bogut like educating children.

Poor Bogut's defensive end not only has to deal with the peripheral impact from Wecha, but also has to be careful of Bynum who is not good.

His care and prudence meant nothing to the game.

Facing him, Bynum was not afraid at all, because Wechat had taught Bogut many times. Bynum remembered those famous scenes and had no respect for the champion of the same session.

他全场13投10中，拿下耀眼的25分17篮板2助攻2盖帽。

What about Bogut on the opposite side?He made 12 of 5 shots, scored only 12 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, and he only played 30 minutes. Bynum's strong post-up to the end allowed him to quickly accumulate fouls.

What are young players who are playing in form most afraid of?It's not pride, it's not complacency, it's not self-indulgence, but it comes from unpredictable blows, like cold water on the horizon, which makes people feel cold and injured.

In the six games of the new year, Bynum was so strong that people felt that he was the Lakers' second-in-command.

With his presence, Wei Xia only needs to lock the opponent's arrows with all his strength. He and Kobe are one inside and one outside, and can wipe out the defense of all teams.

His popularity was at a career high just before he blasted Bogut's next game, but in his third against the Grizzlies, Game 2008 in 20, he played just [-] minutes before leaving.

Fans will miss the energy he brought, but for now, he must rest.

Bynum was carried off on a stretcher, the Lakers and the Grizzlies played to the end, Weixia made a key steal, layup, and killed the game.

Their winning streak reached eleven games, and no one could shake their No. [-] title in the Western Conference. However, Bynum's injury and retirement seemed to bring everything back to the original point.

"It's an opportunity."

Asked about Bynum's injury and its impact, Phil Jackson's attitude was the same as usual: "We should be more united than before. AB's injury is a pity, but this is fate. It just gives the winner the most difficult challenge. We are ready."

Obviously, Zen Master, er, chicken soup, didn't speak to the players' hearts.

At least, their preparations are probably only 10% complete.

In the next game, Kobe's outburst roared at the god of fate who played with him.

Their opponent is the Seattle SuperSonics at the bottom of the West.

Wei Xia followed closely. In the six games that Bynum broke out, he didn't play much. It seemed that he had suddenly degenerated from the best team-level star to an ordinary starter. Only high-ranking fans could see what he did on the defensive end. Contribution.

Today, Bynum's injury back let them return to the original starting point.

The Sonics are trying to take advantage of this to beat the No. [-] in the Western Conference and strengthen the team's momentum.

62%、75%、50%、63%、62%、50%——这是超音速的命中率。

Among the series of outrageously high shooting percentages, some individuals performed extremely dazzlingly.

26 of 6 shots, 23% hit rate, creator: Kevin Durant.

After this campaign, he was affectionately called "one of the top ten players who should be thrown into the trash can" by the Chinese players.

Even if his performance is a nightmare, the Sonics should win because of everyone else's performance.

The final score was 123 to 121, and an overtime game was played, and the Lakers narrowly won by 2 points.

Excluding Kobe Bryant's quasi-lore 4 seconds before the end of overtime, the Lakers' statistics are enough to show what their key to victory is.

科比狂砍48分7助攻4篮板，韦夏在锁死杜兰特的前提之下，出场50分钟，紧随科比砍下40分11篮板6助攻。

The brave performance of the two made the Lakers' winning streak reach [-] games.

However, the repercussions of Bynum's injury are still uncontrollable.

The outbreak of Kobe and Wei Xia has been a scene that has not been interrupted in the past two years. Entering the playoffs, opponents will definitely step up their attacks on the Lakers' insiders.

Are the Lakers going to fall on the weak inside again?
Going around and going around, I came to the origin again.

　I have worked very hard to pay off the chapters, and it seems that you voted harder than me. Do you want to play? ? ?
