You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 484 Interview from the Other Side

Returning to Angel City from Desert City, Wei Xia avoided reporters and took a different plane from Kobe.

In this way, Kobe arrived in Los Angeles before him, and spread some false information to deceive the media.

Bryant said: "Wish went back to Los Angeles right after the All-Star break."

The reporters thought that Wei Xia came back secretly, so they didn't stay any longer.

Therefore, when Wei Xia got off the plane, he couldn't even see anyone with a microphone outside the airport.

During the All-Star weekend, the league spent this year's trade deadline.

From the beginning of the season to the trade deadline in the middle of the season, the operations of the major teams have never stopped.

First, the Los Angeles Lakers sounded the alarm. The joining of Gasol made the Lakers get out of the shadow of Bynum's injury. Kobe became more and more energetic.After that, Kidd returned to Dallas immediately, and the West became more lively. The Spurs couldn't sit still and found veteran Thomas from the Sonics.

In the East, the three-party 11-man deal between the Cavaliers, Bulls and Supersonics also has a great impact on the East.

The Hornets and the Houston Rockets, the second-best in the Western Conference, were not immune either. Their two teams "blend" with the Grizzlies and came to a tripartite agreement.

The Hornets sent away guards Bobby Jackson, Adam Lucas and forward Marcus and a second-round pick in 2008.In exchange for Rockets swingman Bunch Wells, guard Mike James and some cash, the Grizzlies sent the signing rights of the former rookie and got Marcus some cash and draft rights.

And just before the end of the trade deadline, the Rockets officially introduced Timberwolves' swingman and NBA dunk king Gerald Green. In order to get Green, the Rockets sent guard Kirk Snyder and a second-round pick.

Other teams were in a mess, and the Lakers were flat after getting Gasol.

For them, the strongest person has long been in the formation, and the joining of Gasol has filled the last shortcoming of the triangle offense.

Now we only need to use the remaining one-third of the regular season to run in well, and strive to enter the best state when the playoffs come.

When Wei Xia returned home, his sister Wei Chun was preparing a weight loss plan, and Wei Qiu was also brought along.

Thanks to Wei Xia, Wei Qiu was able to sing and dance every night to achieve peace. He neglected to exercise, and now his body is comparable to that of Wei Chun.

Wei Xia consciously avoided their weight loss plan.

Because his figure will only make his sister and brother feel ashamed.

Two days later, Wei Xia will embark on a journey with the team again.

During the period, they still have a day off.

On this day, Wei Xia suddenly received a call from tx Sports in China, wanting to do an exclusive interview with him.

Wei Xia was free, so he naturally agreed.

The person who came to interview him was a beautiful woman with big eyes, but her forehead was a little bigger.

She should have bangs.

However, it is really disrespectful to directly comment on women's clothing, so he didn't say a word.

The other party's first question was: "What difficulties will Chinese Americans encounter in the United States?"

Wei Xia became vigilant.

He has recently encountered too many media that took him out of context. Even if the media came from China this time, he cannot be 100% sure that the other party has no evil intentions.

"The biggest difficulty is to win a sense of identity, not the identity of others, but the sense of self-identity."

"How to say?"

"There are many Chinese who will do extreme things to let others know that they are already a real American, denying their own value, culture, and skin color, just to cut off from their own blood." Wei Xia smiled and shook his head, "I have never seen people of other ethnicities who come to the United States to live in the United States deny their own culture in all aspects."

Soon he dispelled his doubts about the reporter.

It's not that he believed the other party, but that he acted upright and sat upright, as long as he said what he said in his heart, there was nothing to worry about.

Next, she asked Wei Xia's evaluation of Yao Huang and Kong Tianyi.

Wei Xia praised Yao Huang to the fullest.

For Tian Yi, it is mentioned in the sentence pattern of "he is very talented and works very hard, but".

Wei Xia shared many stories with her about the Lakers.

Afterwards, it was inevitable that they would bring up the social topic that recently tied Wei Xia to the fire.

She asked very tactfully, and gave Wei Xia full freedom to answer.

"If you think this question is too broad, we can change it."

The meaning is clear, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to answer.

"I think athletes should do their jobs and do their job well. I also understand that in this day and age, everyone with a certain social status wants to expand their influence. But I generally don't participate in these things unless I have to."

Wei Xia used plastic Cantonese to answer questions throughout the whole process. The interviewer could see that he could use Mandarin like his mother tongue, but he lived in the English-speaking world all year round and lacked oral practice, so there were some problems and mistakes in the choice of words and sentences.

Seeing that Wei Xia was open-minded, the interviewer raised the scale of the question: "We found that some of your recent speeches have caused a lot of controversy and discussion in the United States, and some Americans even think you are Chinese. What do you think of this phenomenon?"

"The most difficult thing in this world is to seek truth from facts. At first, I didn't want to answer questions that would cause controversy. Because there are always two groups of people in social events, no matter how I answer, some people disagree. If I have to answer, I will learn the whole story of the matter through the Internet in detail, and then make an evaluation."

The interviewer asked: "So, your views on social events are based on the facts you have learned?"

"Of course, where is the right to speak without the investigation?"

Wei Xia faced sensitive issues with a clear mind, which made the interviewer have a good impression of him.

At the end of the interview, they asked the question that Chinese fans ask every day and every night: "You said not long ago that you are optimistic about being naturalized by China. I don't know if you have the willingness to go further now?"

As long as Wei Xia is not naturalized for a day, Chinese fans will scold the Basketball Association for a day.

He has a sense of national belonging, has never been to the United States but can speak a very friendly Guangpu, and is an NBA All-Star starter at the age of less than 24. The court position is still after the golden generation of 96, and the Chinese team is increasingly weak at the second and third positions. Let him match Yao Huang who is at his peak. What a beautiful picture?

"I have always liked China, but naturalization is not that simple. I have been in the United States since I was born, and my understanding and impression of China come from my father. I have never been to China, and I can't say from the bottom of my heart that I want to play for the Chinese team. I have to set foot on that land and feel the people and things there. I believe that by then, I will know where I belong."

The response to this exclusive interview in China was huge.

For the United States, this is just another big proof that Wei Xia is a beautiful traitor.

The next day
Wei Xia joined the Lakers' training session two hours in advance.

He was the first person to practice, Pau Gasol was the second.

Because of his injuries, Kobe just wanted to prove that he could persist in high-intensity training with injuries, and the team doctor didn't allow it.

Wei Xia often cooperates with Gasol in a 2-on-0 match.

There are several types.

Wei Xia ran around and Gasol hit the ground and passed the ball.

Gasol's pick-and-roll, Weixia used the pick-and-roll/reverse pick-and-roll direction to break through and directly score or split the ball.

There is also a fake pick-and-roll cut by Gasol, and Weixia lobs.

Although the opponent is air, this kind of cooperation is mainly to strengthen the tacit understanding and familiarity between the two.

Weixia's speed, Gasol's passing style, these are all points that they need to adapt to and be familiar with.

They practiced with each other for an hour, Wei Xia tirelessly, Gasol was already tired.

"Come here, Wish, we have more important things to do than fight the air," Gasol said.

"Please."

Wei Xia did not ask Gasol to play with the air for an hour without getting tired.

Training has never been fun for him.

Anyone who was targeted by the coach in his rookie season like him, and made a small mistake in the replay meeting is as sinful as Star-Lord's last-minute illness in the third part of "Avengers"-he will train hard.

Gasol found a reason to walk away, and Wei Xia called Chris Webber who was watching a play next to him.

Weber said helplessly: "Aren't you going to ask me to train together? Please, I'm already old and full of injuries. Please let me go!"

Wei Xia smirked and said: "I just want to cultivate a tacit understanding with the newcomers. Although you are not the main force, you will definitely have many opportunities to play in the future."

The Zen master is famous for "no veteran is not happy".

In his team, there are often a few old and cunning guys leading newcomers.

Weber was forced to practice with Wei Xia for an extra half an hour.

Afterwards, Weber went for an examination. Due to the excessive training intensity, his calf was strained.
