You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 494

"Are you tired?"

Wesha lay on the sofa at Elaine Trovis's house with his eyes closed.

"The kind of tiredness you can't imagine." Wei Xia said truthfully.

Just yesterday, they ended the first round of the playoffs.It only took four games to send the powerful Denver Nuggets out. After four games, Carmelo Anthony still didn't show the kind of performance fans expected.

A steady 40% shooting, a steady 20 points, and a steady loss.

Allen Iverson himself could not have imagined that he finished his last playoffs. In 4 games, he averaged 24 points, 3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 43.8%.

He is only 183 centimeters tall, with bare feet up to 179 centimeters. He is thin, with amazing wingspan and huge hands. He has a gorgeous style of play, the fastest first step in the league, an ankle finisher, and a cross step beyond the top level in history.

There are 100 Hamlets in the eyes of 100 people, and there is a different Allen Iverson in the eyes of everyone.

People who like him see more tenacity, elegance, and magic; those who don't like him see rebellion, hit rate, and miserable old age.

But for the previous generation of fans, Iverson, Kobe, Carter, Tracy McGrady, Allen, Wolf King, Stone Buddha, Dirk, and Webber more represent the past era, so they cherish it in their hearts and cannot be violated.

It's like a while ago when the unrepaired pornography was leaked by a traitor, and the silent love was deeply painful. Although judging from the current point of view, *** is no longer so outstanding, but his body and mind are still boiling because of it.

For those who passed by, if you don’t love them, please put them in the memory of old fans, in dreams, in hearts, in the singing that only certain people can understand.

The Lakers swept the Nuggets and advanced to the semifinals. That night, the offensive of the mold was like a tide.

They successively asked Iverson, Anthony, Kobe Bryant and others their views on the Sudan issue, and asked them to express their views on this matter again.

Iverson's attitude was rather straightforward: "What do you think I still care about about the Olympics?"

Subtext: while playing!
Anthony was not as domineering as Iverson. After being knocked out by the Lakers, he said with mixed feelings, "Maybe."

And Kobe looked for reasons to shirk again, this time, even he was attacked by mold.

Kobe and James, the two most watched superstars in the league, both chose to avoid this major international issue.

The proliferation of Sudan incidents, votes initiated by Hollywood, gradually flooded from the outside to the inside of the alliance.

Some unnamed league executives said: "We want players to respond to international incidents. That is one of their rights as public figures."

In the history of the NBA, superstars rarely expressed their political stances publicly. For example, Michael Jordan once refused to follow the crowd to support an African-American senator and was set fire to DISS across the United States.

Kobe and James' inaction on related issues are considered to be out of commercial considerations. Some people accused him of avoiding controversy because of the market demand of his sponsor Nike in China, or worried that he would not be able to participate in the Beijing Olympics with the American Dream Team.

If things go on like this, under the coercion of public opinion, even Kobe and James can hardly survive alone.

ZZ has the magical power to turn everything pure and muddy.

After winning the game, Wei Xia was not happy at all, because after the game, he had to face those brain-dead reporters.

Although Zen master said that he could refuse to attend the press conference, if he did not attend, he would be interpreted by the mold as a guilty conscience, and they would be even more blatant.

No matter what it is for, Wei Xia can't avoid it, all he wants is to meet him head-on and smash him to pieces.

Vescia spent another night at Trovis's.

That was the only place where he could find peace. Although he had his brother, sister, and Li Zhongxian in his home, they would quarrel if they disagreed, and they often quarreled, making it difficult to live in peace.

So Wei Xia sometimes came to Trovis's house to spend the night.

Trovis didn't object. Doing so would not only enhance the relationship between the two of them, but also deepen their understanding of each other. There would also be more ambiguous contacts with all kinds of mistakes but never crossed the threshold.

In the past, Wesha and Trovis held hands and hugged the most, but now, kissing has become normalized. They finally interact intimately like normal couples, but they don't have more in-depth exploration like 99.9% of couples.

※※※

The duel between the Lakers and the Nuggets is the only first-round series this year that ends the battle within four games.

All other seven-round series have reached at least Game [-].

In the West, the Hornets are one game away from crushing the Mavericks.

The Spurs also need one more game to complete the achievement of shooting down the Suns three times in four consecutive years.

The Rockets and the Jazz staged a bloody battle. At the end of four games, the latter led 3 to 1. Houston, which lacks an inside pillar, is in jeopardy.

Houston stubbornly dragged the game into Tianwangshan when Yao Huang was reimbursed for the season.

The winner of them is the opponent of the Lakers in the semifinals.

The west is constantly fighting, and the east is also a mess.

In addition to the Magic needing a game to eliminate the Raptors, the other three rounds of the series have played a real fire.

The Pistons and the 76ers have been fighting endlessly.

Cavaliers and Wizards continue to lead.

The most surprising thing is the Celtics and the Eagles. The Celtics, who turned into fighting tyrannosaurs at home, easily killed the Eagles. But when they went to the away game, the Celtics behaved like the color of their jerseys—very environmentally friendly, not powerful at all.

As the No. [-] team in the combat power list, they couldn't win four games against the Eagles, who were No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, or even tied. They had to drag it to Tianwang Mountain in the fifth game to decide who would hold the match point.

Just two words, embarrassing.

The Eagles only won 37 games in the regular season. What is the concept?It can only be ranked No.12 in the west.

The eighth Nuggets in the West have 50 wins, and they are fourth in the East. They are considered a seeded team anyway.

The Celtics have been questioned countless times, but the Lakers turned their attention back to the West, focusing on the fifth and sixth games between the Rockets and the Jazz.

In the fifth game, the Rockets used their lives, but McGrady scored 29 points after a relapse from an old injury.

Judging from the performance of the Jazz, they have no intention of winning the fifth game, as if they predicted that the Rockets would go crazy in advance and dragged the game back.

They showed an indifferent attitude and let the Rockets win the game, 2 to 3.

McGrady's injury seemed to be the final blow to this already overwhelmed team.

Game [-] is a must-lose game for the Rockets. Does anyone think they can win?
should not.

The Rockets are bound to lose this game. McGrady's old injury broke out. According to the practice ten years later, he should rest, and it is meaningless to persist.

But he played closed and continued to play. In 42 minutes of playing time, he made 26 of 13 shots, 40 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. There was no suspense in most of the game.

McGrady has completely overdrawn his health and prepared all the preparations for the upcoming major decline.

4 is better than 2
With the Rockets out, Tracy McGrady can no longer be a core player to break the spell trapped in the first round of his head.

Perhaps that press conference can better illustrate McGrady's feelings.

When he first came to Houston and lost the Mavericks in the first round a few years ago, he burst into tears in front of the media: "It's my fault that I didn't do enough."

And now he faced defeat calmly.

Whatever it is, whatever it is.

The victory of the Jazz ended the era that belonged to Yao Mai. They stepped up to the semifinals, and what they saw was a Lakers team that had been resting for a long time.

They can't start fighting right away, it's just a confrontation.

Wei Xia concentrated on preparing for the battle, cutting off contact with the media as usual.

Ever since he "offended", he has had a rejection reaction to the media, and the negative public opinion from the outside has affected the field.

Although the referee didn't blow his black whistle explicitly, it was much more difficult for him to break through and cause damage.

As a star, he lost his body whistle.

Just like a rookie who just entered the league, he can give as much confrontation as he wants. He can only suffer and cannot complain.

Fortunately, the referee's scale on the defensive end is fairly fair, and he didn't blow him to the point where he couldn't even defend.

April 5

The day before the start of the semi-finals, Zen master held a tactical analysis meeting as usual.

The Lakers played a series with the Jazz last year. At that time, their inside line was still a breakthrough. Now that Gasol has been reinforced, Kobe is still at the peak of his combat power, and Wei Xia has become an All-Star with both offense and defense.

The Jazz's shortcomings are all the Lakers' long boards.

And the Lakers' previous shortcomings, after strengthening, are no longer so unbearable.

So Jackson hoped: "We're going to end the series in five games!"
