You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 499 Bloody Revenge

At halftime, the Lakers led the Spurs by 64 points 51 to 13.

Judging from the first half, they were a better team than the Spurs in all aspects.

The only strong point of the Spurs, the only strong point that makes the Lakers have nothing to say is Tim Duncan.

It's ridiculous to say that when the Spurs played against the Suns in the first round, the best player was Parker.

In the second round against the Hornets, Duncan was seriously disturbed on both ends of the offense and defense. It can be said that it was a very bad series for him.From on-the-spot performance to statistical statistics, it is not a commendable round of competition.

Finally came to the Western Conference Finals. Against Gasol, who was completely different from the NBA and Fiba, Duncan really showed his dominance. As a result, only he had dominance for the Spurs.

"The Lakers are an excellent team. We knew it from the beginning. Kobe may be the most powerful player in the world. Wish's progress is obvious to all. After Paul joined, they no longer have any shortcomings in terms of lineup."

The narrator of TNT praised wildly.

Wei Xia, one of the protagonists of the game, was interviewed by reporters at halftime.

"How long have you been preparing for this game?"

Wei Xia just wanted to talk about it for a few days, because they decided at the last moment that their opponent in the Western Conference Finals was the Spurs-who told them to play seven games with the Hornets.

But if you say that, it seems that you don't pay enough attention to your opponent.

Wei Xia thought for a while, and decided to change the wording that all parties could accept: "It started when we lost to them last year."

"What did last year's failure mean to you guys?"

"It means we can get better. It means we have a clear gap between us and the champions. It means we don't deserve a day off. It means we need Pau Gasol."

Every sentence of Weixia's "means" has a clear pause, and finally leads to Pau Gasol, which the reporter did not expect.

The reporter didn't want to discuss too much on Gasol's issue, because Gasol didn't perform well, and he was the only player on the Lakers team who was blown up by his opponent.In the same way, he lacks the self-confidence to dominate the international arena. Even if the team plays tactics around him, it is only in a state of tension and anxiety, trying to do the tasks assigned to him by the team.

The reporter put aside the question and put forward a more sensitive one: "Recently, there have been many speculations about your comments against Chai Na. How do you deal with things on and off the court and keep yourself in a good state?"

Wei Xia could tell that the other party had no bad intentions.

If he wanted to get the best news, his questions should be more skillful.The question asked now gives him a lot of room to play, and he can use many ways to bring the question to the past.

However, he didn't want to be perfunctory today.

"In the 60s, the league at that time was very different from today, but without the efforts of that generation, the NBA might have changed beyond recognition and might have gone bankrupt like ABA. Players at that time had to face the pressure off the court as well as the pressure on the court. Racism turned everyone into a beast trapped in a cage. Those who did not fight would be raped by that era."

"I have wondered countless times how Bill Russell and the others won one championship after another while actively participating in the civil rights movement." In fact, he knows well that those things are history for many current fans, but for him it is life that seeing is believing.

Since he was 15 years old, he has gone back to the past every night.

In the beginning, he hoped to get enough talent.

From Havlicek's body, to Skywalker's athletic ability-the benefits of going back to the past made him an NBA player. Gradually, life there became a penance.

If even Havlicek's life is so difficult, what kind of storm is Russell and the others facing?

Wei Xia didn't think much about it.

He lived day by day, and the life there was very difficult.Apart from being able to choose suitable games in the arena every night for actual combat practice, there are not many places that can bring him improvement.

Every era has limitations.

The limitation of the 60s was that professional basketball normally went from barrenness to false prosperity, a small number of teams, low salaries, and a season that ended in April every year. As the well-deserved absolute king, the Boston Celtics had only six routine tactics, so that their opponents remembered their tactical slogans.Initially, Auerbach also made some changes for this matter.

For example, when you call the No. [-] tactic, you actually call the No. [-] tactic, and so on.Although they only had six standing tactics, after changing the password, most of them still ran the wrong tactics.

They decided not to change it anymore, and just used the original password and tactics as they were, and if the opponent can defend it, they will defend it.

As you know, the Celtics won 12 championships in 10 years.

It is undeniable that modern basketball is like two sports compared to basketball in the 60s.

Wei Xia has no doubts that Radmanovic was airborne to that era. He can punch the Big Dipper, kick the Lord of the Rings, and his unlimited shooting range will make countless guards retire ashamed. He can easily average 40+20 per game for ten consecutive seasons.At that time, only Chamberlain could surpass him in terms of body and athletic ability, but Radmanovic could use his technology to reduce the dimensionality of the Big Dipper.

When Wei Xia saw that era clearly, he knew that compared with the so-called learning the spirit of that era, the most important thing is to survive.Not only to be yourself, but also to explore the powerful secrets of Russell and others.

As Havlicek lived in that era, Wei Xia could only feel the difficulty in form.

As he himself encountered more serious problems in modern times, he began to understand that any individual problem is insignificant when it rises to the collective.When any individual voice evaluates a society or country, it will be rated according to that person's identity, skin color, bloodline, and public influence.

Obviously, Wei Xia touched the red line of this era.

"now I understand."

He faced the problem head-on: "The most important thing is not being right or wrong, nor is it convincing anyone. It's that I have no regrets from the beginning to the end, and I sit up straight. I really can't change the public opinion of the outside world, and my life will indeed be affected, so playing the game is the greatest luck for me."

"My soul can find a home here, my desires can be satisfied here, my anger can be vented here, my dignity can be kept intact here, and my body and mind will be completely displayed in front of everyone. I am who I am, and I will not be affected by anything. I must stand here and let the world see how I and my team can become the ultimate winners!"

He made an impassioned speech, and all those who heard it trembled with excitement.

The reporter conducting the halftime interview nodded and smiled.

When Wei Xia finished speaking, his hand holding the microphone trembled.

"Okay, thanks to Wish for accepting our interview!"

Wei Xia nodded lightly, turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

The Lakers and Spurs still have the second half to come, and this is only the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

The Spurs are not in good shape, but even if they lose the first game, there is still room for adjustment later.

Playing at the opponent's home court has a low winning rate. If you win, you earn, and if you lose, you don't lose.

Popovich came with this in mind.

But after the first half, he had doubts about the trend of the series.

The strength of the Lakers is obviously beyond the Spurs, if they always maintain a smooth performance in the Western Conference Finals.Can the Spurs beat them?

He had no answer to this question in his mind.

After more than ten minutes passed, the two sides returned to the scene to warm up one after another. The second half is about to start, and all the Lakers have to do is to finish the game.

From the first second of the third quarter, Bryant showed the strength of the MVP.

Anyway, today was his coronation night.

Although the league has not yet awarded him an award, the results of the MVP voting have been announced.

The first MVP of his career, how can he not celebrate it?

Kobe Bryant has a good competitive state, 14 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and his shooting percentage reached 60%.

His wave of outbreaks indirectly harvested the game.

Before the arrival of the fourth quarter, the Spurs were 18 points behind the Lakers.

Although it cannot be said that the Lakers will win 100% with an 18-point advantage, but in the current situation, it can be said that they are sure to win.

In the fourth quarter, Jackson replaced Kobe and Wei Xia, who had only rested for 3 minutes in the first three quarters.

This is a signal.

The Lakers still keep Gasol and others. If the Spurs chase points, he will replace Kobe and Weisha to stabilize the field.

If the Spurs can't catch up, so be it.

Replacing Wei Xia and Kobe is a symbol of the game entering garbage time.

As a result, the Spurs were incompetent.

In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers beat the Spurs, and the bloody revenge after a year began.
