You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 543 Do You Talk Regardless of the Situation?
A day later, Wei Xia's steal lore is still talked about by fans.

In the history of the battle between the Lakers and the Celtics, it seems that this kind of magic moment always belongs to the Celtics.

Except for Game 1987 in 4, when the Magician hit a small sky hook against the Big Three of the Green Kais, the previous 1984, the Magician's downturn, and the series of unbeatable records against the Green Kais throughout the 60s, the most famous 1969 Game 7, at that critical moment, was a lucky ball thrown by the Celtics player Don Nelson at the time.

As long as the Celtics are facing each other, the Lakers will always be the one to be turned.

Now, they have the same story as Havlicek's thief in 1965, Nelson's shot in 1969, and Larry Bird's break against the Pistons in 1987.

Since Wei Xia's steal happened in the finals, and if the steal did not happen, the Lakers' loss is a high probability event.The Lakers who lose will lose the entire season. Against this background, the steal is even more valuable.

When Wei Xia returned home, his voice messages were full of congratulations from relatives and friends.

Wei Xia listened to their congratulations without changing his expression. They were basically the same clichés, just to show an attitude.

Wesha prefers Jim Bass's congratulations to those with flamboyant words: "You're a fucking dick!"

How simple, not only conveyed his feelings, but also made people laugh.

Then a voice message from Grandpa Jerry Wayne.

Wayne was ready to meet the Celtics' freshman champion before, and he believed that the Celtics would use this year's championship to clear away the shadow that had hung over the Celtics for the past 21 years.

It's a pity that what he expected didn't happen. Wei Xia's steal delayed the end of the story for two days.

"You should be glad you're playing away."

"If it's at home, the fans will strip off your underwear. Back then, Hondo was stripped down to a pair of underwear. Now the fans will only be crazier."

"However, nothing may happen, because the current NBA is very different from the 60s. It is impossible for fans to be as close to players as they were back then."

"In any case, Philly, you played a great game. I am proud of you and cheer for you. Game7 will continue to work hard. Of course, I still believe that the Celtics will beat you to win the championship."

Wei Xia believes that grandpa is very upset about the Lakers' victory.

But he also believed that grandpa was really proud of him.

He didn't reply, because it was late, so he continued to look for the voice message.

He saw the letter he wanted to see—from Elaine Trovis.

"This is the best game of my watching career, congratulations."

A short text message.

Wei Xia forgot to reply a text message: "It's a pity that there are not many fans cheering for us."

"That's Boston, and it's harder to find a Lakers fan there than it is to find a non-racist white guy."

"Yeah, that's why I say that. Without the fans around, there's always something missing."

"Are you implying me?"

"No, no," Wei Xia shook his head at the phone like an idiot, and then strongly hinted, "But at the beginning of the seventh game, if you were there...well, it would be very different."

Their text exchange ends here.

After that, Wei Xia went to bed.

The next day, the offseason, the tiebreaker is tomorrow, and Wei Xia has decided not to do anything except training or anything else.

He stayed in the hotel before the afternoon training session.

Suddenly, the phone in the hotel room rang, from the front desk: "Wish, there is a lady who claims to be your girlfriend."

"Is she not the most beautiful woman in the world?"

"Well, she is indeed a beautiful woman."

Wei Xia seemed to be unable to distinguish the point, and insisted that the other party admit that Trovis was the most beautiful woman in the world before saying: "Well, she may be my girlfriend, please take her to my room."

That sounds about as weird as those promiscuous players asking a pimp to bring their flesh and blood into the room.

After a while, Trovis was brought by the waiter.

When Wei Xia saw her for the first time, the first words that came out of Wei Xia's mind were: "With such a beautiful girlfriend, I will definitely not be able to be a human being in my next life."

"If there is no problem, you can talk slowly." The waiter was very sensible, and left after confirming that the person was correct.

It was the first time Trovis followed Wei Xia to an away game, and it was the first time she entered his hotel room. Looking at the layout inside, she said unexpectedly: "It's so simple."

"This is the benefit of being 'single'." Wei Xia said.

The arrival of Trovis gave Wei Xia someone to chat with in his spare time.

In the afternoon training session, Phil Jackson focused on restorative training to maintain his physical condition and reduce high-intensity training.

Even if the Lakers put up a game that would load up on classic channels, commentators and observers still wouldn't pass up an opportunity to criticize those who underperformed.

Such as Pau Gasol and Kobe.

The only thing Gasol is better than Garnett is his shooting rate, but throughout the entire series, he is not Garnett's opponent at all. On the offensive end, he can only score opportunities.

The accusations against Kobe are more intense. Some people think that he is personally ruining the chance to prove that he can win the championship without the Sharks.

Judging from his efficiency and Game5's subsequent performance, the voice accusing Kobe is not out of thin air.His playoff scoring average dropped by as much as 6 points in the finals, and his shooting percentage dropped from 49% to just over 40%, which is not at all what he should be.

Many people predict that if the Lakers really reverse the Celtics to win the championship, then the FMVP is likely to fall to Weixia.

O'Neal took the opportunity to imply on social media that Kobe could not become the number one core of the championship team.

Public opinion's backlash against Kobe began to affect the rest of the Lakers. Except for Wei Xia, who became a hero in the sixth game, no one was immune to criticism.

This greatly hurt the Lakers' preparations.

In the training session the day before the seventh game, Zen master asked the players to meditate carefully and let go of all unimportant things.

Most people think this way, and some people think a little further.

"You say, Kobe and Wish, who will become the FMVP?" The person who asked the question was Magloire,
He's an idiot, so he's asking sensitive questions at critical moments.

Everyone says winning is the most important thing, it doesn't matter who gets the trophy, but it does.Kobe didn't have it, and it was said that he held the shark's thigh for many years. In 1980, the sky hook missed it, which caused fans to forget the first five games of Kerry, who was as crazy as God of War.

Now the situation of the Lakers is very delicate.

In the first four games, Kobe played better, while in Game 5 and Game 6, Weixia was the best in the Lakers team. In the sixth game that just ended, the Lakers entered the seventh game with a historic steal-the counter-attack buzzer lore.

The criteria for FMVP selection have always been based on more than one data.

Three things are important.

Whether the media likes you is one.

Whether the performance in the finals is anticlimactic or snakeheaded and anticlimactic is the second.

Whether the top candidate for FMVP was absent due to injury in the championship game is the third.

The first victim was "Big E" Elvin Hayes, who averaged 21 points and 12 rebounds per game in the finals, but he was not the FMVP because he was recognized as a ghost at the time.Unseld, by contrast, was the perfect teammate.

The second victim is also Hayes. In the 1978 finals, he played seven games. He scored a total of 145 points, of which 123 points came from the first three quarters. In other words, he disappeared as soon as the fourth quarter.

Compared with Unside, who scored 15 points in the seventh game of the finals and sealed the victory, Hayes is obviously a little bit worse.

The number one victim of the third article is Skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He injured his leg in the fifth game in 1980, but he still hit the ball at a critical moment in that leg-injured game. It can be said that he defeated the 76ers with one leg and let the Lakers control the match point.At that time, he was the FMVP.Then there is the well-known magician's cameo in the sixth game of the center.

One of the few people who participated in the voting later recalled that they originally wanted to choose Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the FMVP, but they were told by the league that they could not choose someone who was not on the scene.Therefore, it can only be a magician.

The situation of Wei Xia and Kobe is undoubtedly much more complicated.

Kobe and Wescia affect the game in almost the same way.

Strong individual combat ability and perimeter defense, relying on these two things, they ate the Celtics in three games abruptly.

However, they also activated the second law.

Bryant had the better first four games, while Wesha dominated the last two.Generally speaking, players who work late are more likely to be favored, because voters may not be able to remember who played better in the previous few games, but they must remember who was the best player in the last few key games.

This is Wei Xia's advantage.

At the same time, he also has disadvantages. The politically incorrect incident a while ago made him an unpopular representative of the media.

If he becomes the FMVP, the pressure the league will bear and the immeasurable storm of public opinion are terrifying.

Therefore, he and Kobe have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The question raised by Magloire did not get a response from his teammates.

Not only did everyone not respond, but they also looked at him like a fool.

The master, Wei Xia, glanced at him with a smile, then shook his head, saying, "I'm a mentally retarded person, so I won't be serious with him."

The relationship between Magloire and Wescher had been hostile for some time.

It was later repaired by time, and now it is just an ordinary teammate relationship, and they can talk, but they have no contact in private.

Kobe didn't even look at him, he was dribbling for a shot, a thick knuckle on his right ring finger.This is a habit he didn't have before. The sudden appearance of this thing can only show that there are some problems with his fingers, but he never reveals these problems, and he will not attribute his bad beating to these things.

There was a slight sneer on Wei Xia's face, which was also seen by Magloire, and he asked, "Have you never thought about this question?"

"Think about it, of course I want to be the FMVP, that means I'm the best player in the finals." Wei Xia's words attracted everyone's attention, including Kobe.

Kobe just raised his eyes, he didn't believe that Wei Xia would care too much about that kind of thing at this moment.

"Then you still laugh?"

"I'm kidding you, Jamal."

Magloire asked foolishly: "Laughing at me? What's so funny about me? Mind yourself, Wish!"

"I laugh at you for being indistinguishable from the occasion." Wei Xia's sneer seemed to have stepped Magloire's face on the ground, "Do you always speak regardless of the occasion?"

The Lakers' training session today is only 80 minutes.

Most of the time is given to the players to train themselves, and whoever feels that they need to improve or consolidate can train.

Except for walking around the training ground, talking to this and thinking to that, Jackson basically didn't call the players to speak.

Tactics class was canceled.

Usually running tactics is to increase tacit understanding. Now, there is only the last game left in the season, so there is no need to do this kind of training. The most important thing is to make the players feel comfortable.

One day, just like that.
