You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 572
When you come to a new team, the most important thing to do is to get acquainted with your new teammates as soon as possible.

However, in order to adapt Weixia to the team, the 76ers have recruited Vaughn Weaver and Ryan Hollins.

Wei Xia has always been a mentor in the eyes of Hollins, and Weaver needless to say, they are very good friends.

Also a rookie in the 2005 class, the biggest difference between Weaver and Bynum is that he belongs to the end of the bench in the Lakers.He has to have a good relationship with everyone, especially with Wei Xia.

Seeing them, Wei Xia felt a sense of closeness in his heart.

"As long as you are here, even if I am allowed to play in Utah, I am willing." Wei Xia laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Weaver laughed: "I don't want to, besides allowing polygamy in Utah, I don't know what else is good!"

"Is polygamy not enough?" Hollins sighed, "That is a dream that modern men dare not say!"

However, Wei Xia didn't want to talk about polygamy with them. He was just married and couldn't have such thoughts.

They chatted for a while, and Wei Xia went to meet the others.

The first person is Andre Iguodala.

It's an open secret that Iguodala is dissatisfied with Wecha's signing with the 76ers.

"Hi, Andre." Wei Xia took the initiative to say hello.

Iguodala looked at him, although he didn't know what he wanted to do, but he still maintained a friendly expression: "Hey, man, how are you doing?"

"Everything is fine." Wei Xia knew why Iguodala had no feelings for him.

Another open secret: In 2004, the 76ers chose Iguodala's pick, which was originally prepared for Wesha.Unexpectedly, Wei Xia decided to stay in school for a year, and they were forced to choose Iguodala.Iguodala is Wei Xia's backup tire. Although his performance greatly exceeded Philadelphia's expectations, as Wei Xia entered the league in 2005, his performance and progress in the following years, winning the FMVP performance in the 2008 finals, all proved the scouts to be correct.

If Wei Xia has been playing for other teams, this incident is at best an anecdote, and some people may even disbelieve it, but now Philadelphia has cleared Dalembert without a promise in order to get Wei Xia.

It is precisely because Wei Xia knows where Iguodala and his pimples appear that he can prescribe the right medicine.

"I was at the game you played against the Lakers in March." Wei Xia outlined that scene as clearly as yesterday, "The three-pointer you hit from Kobe's head was my source of happiness for the entire month of March."

Iguodala smiled in surprise: "You were a Lakers player at the time!"

"At the same time, I am the most staunch Kobe black fan in the world." Wei Xia patted Iguodala on the shoulder, "Believe me, that ball made me climax."

Iguodala said happily: "Thank you, and I am the same. It means a lot to me to be able to hit a key team on Kobe's head."

"Don't say that, who can do that kind of thing, have you heard of Quincy Dolby?"

Weisha began to talk to Iguodala about the unknown Quincy Dolby beating Kobe with 32 points in a single game.

Although Dolby's team was slaughtered by the Lakers in that game, it is an indisputable fact that he beat Kobe Bryant.Although he beat Kobe, it does not affect that he is now becoming one of the best foreign players in history in China's CBA.

Black Kobe was originally used by Wei Xia to get closer to the media, but now he unexpectedly discovered that black Kobe can also be used to get closer to his new teammates.

Playing in the NBA, Kobe is still a mystery to many people.

Wei Xia is recognized as a good friend of Kobe, and he must know many secrets about Kobe.

Through Black Kobe, Wei Xia and Iguodala had a good face-to-face meeting.

"In the new season, let's cheer together." After Wei Xia and Iguodala said, they went to say hello to others.

The second person Wei Xia met was also an old acquaintance——Elton Brand.

Three years ago, Brand led the Clippers to beat the Lakers in the semifinals.Facing the poor and weak Lakers at the time, Brand at his peak was like an ancient behemoth, and 30 points and 20 rebounds in a single game was just a routine operation.

Brand's peak was like a shooting star. You thought he was just about to rise, but it was actually the last glory.

Subsequent injuries caused him to land quickly.

The owner of the Clippers, Stella, is a notorious miser. He will never allow a nigger with a high salary and low ability to exist in the team, so he sold Brand to the 76ers cheaply.

Just arrived in the 76ers last season, Brand, who came back from a serious injury, has been unable to achieve the simple 20+10 per game in his heyday.

每场比赛场均13分6篮板1.4助攻和1+1的抢断与封盖。

He is still a reliable inside fulcrum, but he is no longer the top star who can lead the Clippers from the Western Conference surrounded by tigers and wolves to the conference finals.

Wei Xia's impression of Brand is relatively old-fashioned: a typical Duke star, enthusiastic, kind, honest, and reliable.

Throughout history, any star from Duke other than the future Kyrie Irving has been suffocated with these words.

Brand showed his enthusiasm the first time he saw Wei Xia: "How is the recovery from the knee injury? Do you want me to teach you some protection experience? In this regard, don't look at me now, I am an old Jianghu with rich experience"

Wei Xia made a joke: "Luke Walton is my former teammate."

"SO?" Brand didn't understand.

"SO, I can use this channel to ask his legendary father for relevant knowledge." Wei Xia glanced at Brand and continued his joke, "I have no disrespect for your injury history, but I really think Bill Wharton has more experience than anyone else."

Those who didn't know thought they were discussing winning experience or other useful experience.

Brand laughed loudly after hearing this: "It makes sense! My experience in this area is indeed inferior!"

God can testify, no one wants to have that experience.

If it wasn't that the disaster could not be avoided, who would pay the price of being on the injured list for a year?

Brand and Wei Xia were only in the same alliance before. Two friendly guys, as long as they can meet a few times, they will definitely become friends.

Wei Xia has to compare Kobe here.

His first preseason training camp with the Lakers, when did his friendship with Bryant emerge?Wesha didn't think that kind of thing came up throughout training camp.

Although they had an embarrassing incident of "competing for the most hardworking Lakers", Vanessa's intervention led to Wei Xia's victory, but they did not have a friendship.

Kobe had just come out of the autistic world at the time, and he didn't open up so quickly. Wei Xia and him developed a friendship after the start of the season.

But with Brand, it only takes a few minutes to form a friendship.

Within minutes, the address between them changed from "Hi Man" to "Hi bro".

In addition to Iguodala and Brand, as well as Louis Williams and Jrue Holiday, whom Wecha has seen before, the 76ers have several players that cannot be ignored.

Thaddeus Young, the No. 2007 pick in the first round in 12, has a height of 203 cm, but he is a swing forward who prefers the fourth position.

Last season against the Orlando Magic, he made a game-winning three-pointer against the future Eastern Conference champions, and his reputation soared.

From the first conversation, he is tough, decent, and a rare good player.

Wei Xia had a good impression of him.

There is also a power forward named Maris Speights who is good at shooting and has good offensive skills. After Dalembert is dealt with, he will compete with Hollins for another starting position for the 76ers in the new season.

Wei Xia was a little worried about this.

In terms of strength, Hollins and Speights are not suitable starters, but the 76ers have no one inside.

Instead of the two of them starting, let Jason Kapono play.

Yes, Kapono who has won the three-point contest many times.He is also in the 76ers. Let him play a starter who is useless except for three-pointers. In addition to opening up the space, it will also bring terrible defensive problems, disturbing rebound protection and the tragedy of being beaten hard by the opponent as a loophole in the system.

Hollins and Speights are limited by their own strength, and they are not strong enough to start.

Except for Kapono's three-pointers, there is nothing that can reach the NBA level.

He was able to play in the NBA for 9 years for one reason. He has no negative energy off the court, and the three-pointers are too accurate, too accurate, too accurate, too accurate!
However, as Wei Xia saw more people, he found that the 76ers' internal potential could still be tapped.

Young’s classmate, Jason Smith PF, is a forgotten player. He has a net height of seven feet and is extremely flexible enough to play a power forward. He has accurate mid-range shots and enough athletic ability to defend against pick-and-rolls.

The above is the situation of the 76ers. They will be a team rampaging towards the lottery zone. Even with Weixia joining, the situation will still not improve much.

It is difficult to expect Wei Xia, who has just been in a truce for 16 months, to become a savior as soon as he arrives.

He has his issues, having not played with his body in a year, wondering how much of his game feel is left, and how long the conflict between Bird's touch and his pre-existing muscle memory will last.

Even if he can quickly adapt to Bird's touch, how to build a set of skills that suits him around his talents is a science that takes time.

He needs a long-term, systematic, and scientific plan.

This process is far more difficult than tearing from the ACL, and it will take longer to complete.
