You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 558

The unsuccessful negotiation between Wei Xia and the Lakers soon spread to the media.

Then, let the media tell the world.

Los Angeles has no secrets.

The Lakers have no secrets.

The trivial things that happen in the Toyota Center are no secret to the media as long as they can bring traffic.

"Wish and the Lakers contract renewal negotiations have reached an impasse", such good news, the media that is not used is not worthy of being the media.

Unlike Wei Xia's dilemma, the Lakers went smoothly.

In the Christmas battle, against the old enemy Lu Kai, losing Wei Xia but played a unilateral killing.

117 is better than 94
The Lakers beat the Celtics, and the winning streak has continued until December.

Rolling from 2008 to 2009, the Lakers' record was unbelievably good.

With 28 wins and 2 losses, five players in the team averaged double figures per game.

What is their secret to being so powerful?
A fully healthy Kobe, a confident Kobe, and a Kobe who is at his best both offensively and defensively, averaged 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

Pau Gasol's data "only" averaged 16 points, 8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, but it is an important part of the team.

Then, his younger brother Marc Gasol quickly broke through the doubts, averaging 11.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game, allowing Bynum to sit firmly on the bench.

Bynum averaged 14 points and 8 rebounds per game. As the core of the second team, although his lethality may be stronger than Mark, his skills and chemical reaction cannot be compared with the Gasol brothers.

Then came Trevor Ariza, who replaced Wescia as the starter.

His scoring average is not in double figures, but the defensive end is an important part of the Lakers.

He is Wei Xia who has been weakened in all aspects. He cannot replace Wei Xia's role, but it is enough.

In the end, Rudy Fernandez, the Lakers' No. 12 bench bandit, averaged 3 points, 3 rebounds and [-] assists per game. Together with Bynum, he became the leader of the second team who is best at digging holes for opponents in the league.

Such a Lakers has become the most feared team.

Wei Xia was entangled in the renewal of the contract, had no time to take care of the game, and went to watch the game less and less often.

Moreover, the fans seem to have forgotten him.

Because the Lakers' record is too good.

Only the commentators added from time to time when they lamented the strength of the Lakers: "If Wish can play, how terrible will they be?"

At that time, fans will remember that there is still a heavyweight player lying on their injury list.

This can't be entirely blamed on the fans, Wei Xia is indeed low-key, so low-key that the fans don't know what he is doing or what he is busy with.

Wei Xia is not going well in the workplace, but everything goes well in life and in love.

One day, he saw another future in his sleep.

He saw several impressive things in that future, the glorious future of the Lakers, the future without him, and a TV news introducing the rapid price increase of a virtual currency called Bitcoin, invisible fog, and, smoking airplanes.

It reminded him of a dream he had in the past that seemed to foresee the future.

In that dream, he dreamed of the unexpected death of Odom's youngest son, Jayden, without him in the future group photo of the Lakers, the fallen Kobe, and the smoking plane.

Now, there are smoking planes again.

He interpreted the smoking plane as an air crash, yes, it could only be an air crash.So who crashed?His family, his friends, or himself?
After waking up, Wei Xia couldn't decipher what he saw, so he could only ask if there was something called Bitcoin.

Then I learned that the concept of this thing was proposed in November last year, and it was officially born last week.

Wei Xia went to check and found that 1 dollar can buy 1300 bitcoins.

So he arranged for someone to hoard hundreds of thousands of bitcoins, and then spent half a month forgetting about it.

By the time he remembered it again, the world had already changed.

Wesha made a cheap investment that even he didn't expect to get much return, and then sang at Trovis' birthday.

In order to correct his intonation, he also secretly hired a French teacher during his injury.

He listened to the song a thousand times, making sure he could catch every beat and not get out of tune.

On Trovis's birthday, the lights suddenly dimmed, just like a special surprise prepared in an old movie, Wei Xia walked out slowly with a microphone, and sang "Je m'appelle Hélène" completely with precise pitch, and a mediocre voice that didn't run away or break.

When the singing was over, Trovis stood in front of Weisha and asked softly, "How long have you been studying?"

"Two years." Wei Xia said honestly.

"It took two years just to learn a song?"

"Four years are worth it, as long as you're happy with it."

Although their conversation was very quiet, it was too quiet at the time, and the Kobes could hear everything else clearly.

Kobe and his wife have been portraying this Wechat for a long time: single-minded, incomprehensible, mostly boring, likes to irritate her husband, flawed but generally good.

Looking at it today, in order to please Trovis, he is willing to spend two years learning this song that has special meaning to her. Even if he has many shortcomings, so what?

Kobe was standing on the first floor. He felt that if it was him, it would take less than two years, and he would be able to get it done in less than a month.

Wei Xia, who was standing on the fifth floor, didn't want to compete with Kobe in this kind of thing at all. It didn't matter how much time he wanted, as long as Trovis was happy.

That night, Wescha and Trovis had a special night.

Wei Xia still hasn't broken through the last hurdle, and Trovis is extremely firm in his beliefs, and he doesn't want to force it, but they released a love that cannot be expressed in words through an old method that is not new.

So they start by paying tribute to President Clinton for his precise delineation of what is and isn't Act X.

Except that the contract renewal negotiations with the Lakers are not going well, other things are fine.

In January, the Lakers lost more games.

They lost a total of 2 games in the first two months, and lost 3 games in January.

One of the games was revenge from the Celtics.

The Celtics, whose lineup has undergone major changes compared to last season, did not rest on their laurels, and chose to take the initiative to change and be aggressive.

They made the lovable, charming, hard-working, down-to-earth Brian Scalabrine an outpost for reform.

What he does is very simple: serve as the nominal starting center, and actually run at the 3rd and 4th positions.He provides perimeter mobility, long-range shooting, length.

The Celtics have always kept one of him or Glenn Davis on the floor.

The role of the two of them lies in the threat of high screens and pick-and-rolls.After adding Garnett, the team often even adopted the V-shaped position that the Raptors and the Suns loved to play in the past.

Last season, the Celtics often used high double blocks to create opportunities for Rondo after 1-2-2, supplemented by two-wing shooters cutting along the three-point line.

Now, when Davis or Scalabrine is on the line, the Celtics' system is more open, and the vacant one-sided inside allows Pierce and Garnett to move more freely.

On the defensive end, Scalabrine chased Bayani to beyond the three-point line in the last game, and the game of revenge for the Lakers is still the same.

In this way, Garnett firmly occupies the central axis position of 2-1-2, fighting fires everywhere, one big and four small, and the formation layout is obviously more symmetrical.

With their new system, Garnett rivaled the wonderful performance of the Gasol brothers + Bynum and beat the Lakers.

Before the arrival of February, the Lakers played 42 wins and 5 losses.

Bryant and James were ranked No.1 and No.2 in the MVP prediction list.

Just as February came, the Lakers officially announced: "For some reasons, we will not be able to renew the contract with Wish in advance during the season."

Later, the media revealed that some of the so-called reasons for the Lakers were that their offer was not accepted.

At the fourth meeting, the Lakers raised their offer to 4 million in four years, which was a little less than the Hornets' renewal of Paul, but it was still not the highest salary, so it was still not accepted.

The failure to reach an agreement in the fourth negotiation meant that it would be difficult for them to reach an agreement before the deadline, so it would have to be delayed until the offseason and left to the market to decide how much Wei Xia is worth after the serious injury.
