You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 562 I Will Be Your Friend Forever

"Is your jersey genuine?"

Wei Mingliang lowered his head to confirm: "Yes, the only regret is that I didn't get Larry Bird's autograph."

Wei Xia knows that Wei Mingliang has collected the No. 33 jersey from every season in the Bird era. He is an out-and-out Bird fan.

He disliked the Pistons all his life because of Bird.

He disliked Isiah Thomas all his life because of Byrd.

Because of Bird, he didn't like Rodman all his life, and even the Bulls who didn't like Jordan.

"This jersey is a collector's edition of the 1986-87 season. How much do you know about that season?" Wei Mingliang asked expectantly.

After all, Wei Xia has played in the NBA for four years and is still playing for the Lakers. The brightest moment of his career so far was against the Celtics. It is impossible not to know some historical allusions?

Wei Xia really didn't know, if Wei Mingliang was asking about the Celtics in the 60s, then he would definitely know his name.

"I know that the Lakers won the championship that year." Wei Xia paused, "And after that, the Celtics missed the Finals for 21 consecutive years."

"Yes, all the disasters started that year, but the fourth game of the finals that year, have you heard of it?"

Wei Mingliang seems ready to teach his son a history lesson.

Wei Xia didn't know the story of that round of finals at all. The only thing he knew was that the magician hit the most famous goal of his career in that round of finals.That goal, the peerless little skyhook facing the Celtics frontcourt giants, was scored in Game 4.

"I know the magician's hook," Wei Xia said.

"That hook is illegal." 22 years later, Wei Mingliang still seems to have not let go.

"At the time, the Celtics were trailing by one point, and they were trying to run a play for Bird."

Wei Mingliang suddenly raised the tone: "Worthy stupidly dropped him, jumped out to help defend Danny Ainge, and let Larry be defended in the corner for a second. DJ (Dennis Johnson) swung the ball to Bird. He stood with both feet and scored a three-pointer right in front of the Lakers bench!"

Wei Mingliang began to feel unhappy.

He said: "The Lakers arranged the key offense to Kareem, you know, that guy is not likable, but he can always get to the free throw line at critical moments."

Wei Xia suspected that his father was euphemistically saying that the Black Lakers took advantage of the whistle, but there was no evidence.

"And then, when Kareem missed the second free throw, the damn refs ignored Michael Thompson's foul on Kevin McHale, and they knocked the ball out of bounds! The damn refs awarded the ball to the Lakers, and that ball was Magic Johnson's skyhook shot, and it wasn't legal at all!"

Wei Xia thought that the story ended here, and he was a little hungry, but Dad seemed to talk more and more vigorously—or was he angry?

"The Celtics had two seconds after Magic hit that illegitimate shot, and you know, a lot can happen in two seconds!"

Indeed, enough for Derek Fisher to hit five game-winning 0.4-pointers with [-] seconds left.

"Everyone in the arena knows that Larry will get the ball, and then we will witness the greatest lore in history!" 22 years later, Wei Mingliang recalled that night in Boston Garden, where what happened there seemed to be still in front of his eyes, "James Posey, that idiot, was even thrown away by Larry's defense, and Larry's three-point shot was completely open!"

Wei Xia is soberly aware of the result, and history has given the answer.

As Wei Mingliang said next: "But he didn't make the shot."

Wei Mingliang was so depressed that it seemed like it happened yesterday, and he finally argued weakly: "That goal should have been scored."

Even today, Wei Mingliang seems to have some regrets.

Wei Xia only hopes that the same thing will not happen to him. He does not want any fans who support him to leave regrets that cannot be eliminated after 22 years.

Because, if it cannot be eliminated in 22 years, then this regret will accompany him for the rest of his life.

The next day, Wei Xia returned to Los Angeles.

According to the plan, he bought a diamond ring, which cost him a full $100 million.He hadn't spent such a large sum since he bought the house from Jim Bass.

But he heard that Kobe would spend millions to buy a diamond ring for Vanessa as long as he got into trouble.So compared to this guy, he didn't buy a diamond ring for Trovis until he proposed, which is somewhat boring.

On July 7, Wei Xia held a party at his home.

He invited the Kobe family, his agent, Lee Chung-hsien and Dick Long, brother and sister, and several teammates, as well as Elaine Trovis.

He originally invited Jim Bass, but the other party didn't know how to face him, so he only asked the secretary to bring a gift.

"Now this result is also very good for you. You can go back to Philadelphia and fight for your hometown. How many people can't reach this opportunity?" Kobe comforted.

Wei Xia's heart has passed a long time ago, and Kobe's unnecessary actions caused his eyes to roll.

"Thank you, it's thanks to you that I know the benefits of signing with Philadelphia." Wei Xiaming mocked secretly, Kobe couldn't hear it.

He is not in the mood to bicker with Wei Xia now, just as Wei Xia is not in the mood to talk nonsense with him, how to propose to Trovis in public is the most serious.

Kobe is a person who can't tell the priority, he doesn't see that Wei Xia's mind is not on him.

I also feel that as a senior, I should provide guidance, just like Jordan did to him.

"Go to Philadelphia, if you have any questions, please call me anytime."

"You never know how to lead a team forward, you are bound to get into trouble, don't be shy, I can help you!"

Really touching, when did this guy know how to lead a team?The first speech in his life was done in the locker room of Game 7 of the finals two years ago.

"Yeah." Wei Xia only had Trovis in his eyes, and nodded in response, just showing a minimum of respect to Kobe.

Kobe pretended to be sentimental, and went further and further down the road of not being able to distinguish the situation: "You have many flaws that I don't like, but you also have many advantages, which are what I value. I think that in the past four years, we got along well. You may not have those four years in my life. I am serious, Wish, I will be your friend forever."

However, Wei Xia had already got up, reached into his pocket, confirmed that the diamond ring was there, and muttered, "Kneel on your right knee later"

Bryant spotted the problem: The bastard didn't seem to be listening to him?
Why is this unreasonable!A few seconds later, he saw Wei Xia suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Trovis, and a DJ from somewhere played romantic light music. Wei Xia took out his proposal ring from his pocket, and after a heartfelt confession, with the booing and applause of the crowd, Trovis accepted the proposal.

Now Kobe has every reason to doubt that Wei Xia may not have listened to a single word of his words.

Not a single word!
While Kobe was angry, he couldn't get angry. Wei Xia had just made a successful marriage proposal. He couldn't spoil the atmosphere, but he was holding back and feeling uncomfortable.

! #! %...

Kobe chose to digest internally and greeted Wei Xia in his heart for 10 minutes.
