You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 586

Against the Lakers, Wei Xia scored 35 points, the highest in the game.

The 76ers' inside line was like paper against the Lakers, and the Gasol brothers dominated the penalty area.

Except for Wei Xia, every other point is down.

Wei Xia took less than 35 shots to score 20 points, and his shooting percentage was a season-high 69%.

And, only 2 free throws.

33 points in sports games, 23 points were scored against Ron Artest.

He seems to use this method to prove how stupid the Lakers management is to give up on him.

"Do you hate them?" The reporter's words made Wei Xia wary.

It is undeniable that the reporter's question caused waves in his heart.

Does he hate the Lakers?Can't tell.

The Lakers did not do anything against him. On the contrary, they withdrew their offer, allowing Wei Xia to sign a bigger contract and get more money. He should be happy.

What upset Wei Xia was the way the Lakers gave up on him.

From the beginning of the contract renewal negotiations, they did not show sincerity, and then withdrew the offer later, simply saying "you are not worth the price". For Wei Xia, this is more serious than anything.

He is the sixth FMVP in the history of the Lakers. He helped Kobe get out of the "shark dilemma". Just because he suffered a torn ACL, they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone.

"I don't hate." But indeed, it didn't rise to the level of hatred.

That incident was like a pimple, which would remain in his heart for a long time.

"But I won't forget either." Wei Xia added.

After entering the new year, Wei Xia's hand feeling recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

去年12月，他的命中率已经恢复到40%，2010年1月，韦夏单月打出场均35分10篮板4助攻，命中率47%。

He was not selected as the best of the month for one reason, the record of the 76ers is not good.

Although he missed the best of the month, Weixia currently leads Kevin Durant with an average of 2 points per game, firmly occupying the first place in the scoring average list.

Moreover, his shooting percentage is not as ugly as it was at the beginning of the season.

"Although the scoring champion is not an official honor, it's just a statistic, but I just want to be the scoring champion."

After Wei Xia finished speaking, the time entered February.

At the end of January, the NBA announced the roster for the 2010 All-Star Weekend.

Let’s just talk about Wei Xia. Although he was labeled as the "Philadelphia Blacksmith" at the beginning of the season, after the recovery in November and the outbreak in January, he successfully squeezed out Eagle King Joe Johnson and was elected as the starter of the Eastern Conference All-Star.

On the night Wei Xia was elected as the starter of the Eastern Conference All-Stars, they happened to face the Eagles.

Joe Johnson is known as the contemporary Jordan - he averaged 25+5+5 per game during his peak period, and the Wizards Jordan had this data in his first season before he was injured, so there is nothing wrong with it.

In this battle, Wei Xia rarely caught both offense and defense.

Since coming to Philly, he has let go of the defense.When it comes to defensive champions, no one will think of him, only the Lakers fans will recall with emotion what a reassuring defender Wish was when he stood next to Kobe.

Of course, if there are Suns fans, they will also think of how Weixia won the title of "Nash Terminator" in the first round in 2006.

Tonight, Wei Xia proved one thing.

It's not that he stopped defending, he just didn't want to defend.

Why are you unwilling to defend?No one can know.

Joe Johnson was defended by him to only single-digit points, and he scored 34 points on the offensive end, which directly made the debate about who is more qualified to be the starter in the Eastern Conference between him and the contemporary Jordan disappear.

In early February, the Sixers won half of those games.

The management team broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly held a meeting before the All-Star Weekend. The content was clear: "No more wins!"

Reason: If we continue to win like this, we will become the biggest losers who can't make it to the playoffs or get a high pick!
Kobe once said that losing the championship means that you are the biggest loser. In fact, it is more or less mixed with personal values.

The real number one loser is that they can't tap their potential internally, their combat power is not enough to make it to the playoffs, they refuse to concede an inch during the game, and they vow to win.

In this way, not only lost the present, but also lost the future.

The most powerful championship runner-up in history can at least laugh at himself that "championships are common, 73 wins are rare", and like the Nets from 2015 to 2018, for three consecutive seasons, they defended the lineup until they were incontinent and couldn't make it to the top ten.

This is what the 76ers want to avoid.

Although their draft picks are in their hands, they cannot give up their future for the sake of dignity, not to mention that the 2010 rookies seem to be full of talent, and they are completely worth throwing their faces on the ground.

The 76ers' strategy was set.

Wei Xia also participated in it. After the meeting, he participated in the All-Star Weekend with mixed feelings.

截止到全明星周末，韦夏的场均数据为32.8分7.8篮板和4.7助攻，三项命中率为44、39、80——让人意想不到的高！
From the point of view of shooting, except for two-point shooting, others, including three-point shooting and free throw shooting, have improved compared to the Lakers period.

For the first time, the operation of the Lakers to withdraw the offer was considered wrong.

Lakers fans, the Lakers media and the Lakers' brainless fans explained that the Lakers will not regret it for this reason: "Wish's return to the game with a new look is indeed shocking, but we should look at his situation objectively. First, his team ranks fifth in the East. Second, he takes more shots per game than Kobe in the 2005-06 season. Finally, the ACL tear has clearly affected him. Ron also won at least one DPOY at the peak of his career, but we all saw it. The ACL tear turned him into a mediocre defensive player. Now Wish is very suitable as the core of a rebuilding team, but definitely not as suitable as Ron for the Lakers!"

Subtext: Scores are all based on stats, and stats for bad teams are not convincing.

Attitude: Not as good as Artest.

Conclusion: We do not regret it!real!
The 2010 All-Star Weekend belongs to the 03 generation.

A total of 5 players from the 03 generation were selected. Among them, the three from the Eastern Conference shined in the main game. If Weixia didn't know how to praise, Dwyane Wade should be the star of the night.

It's also a starter, Wei Xia and others are not on the same channel.

When the ball is in his hands, he must shoot.

Not too bad.

Once there is a counterattack, even if it is an extra counterattack, he does not look at his teammates, but only cares about his own show. Fortunately, his show is good-looking, and the show is beautiful. The audience can bear it, but his teammates may not.

James started not passing him the ball, and they wanted Wade to be the AMVP.

But Wei Xia came here in an environment where he couldn't get the ball since he entered the league. No matter how blind James is, can he compare to Smush Parker in those two years?
Wei Xia learned from Parker, turned on the "dead man mode", and made full use of the specialty of being good at catching rebounds. As long as he got the rebound, he didn't look at the person and played until the end of the game.

Although he played only 27 minutes, he shot 26 shots and hit 20 goals.

With no free throws at all, he scored 47 points and 14 rebounds.

Yes, no assists.

At the end of the game, Wei Xia locked AMVP in advance.

Kobe came over in a suit to express his congratulations, and gently nudged him a few times: "Wish, I thought I was the most assertive person in the world. After seeing you, I was wrong. I should learn from you."

Wei Xia took it with a smile.

That's what Kobe taught him, to take every opportunity bravely.

Now he doesn't have Kobe by his side, he's not a Lakers player, he's the boss of a bad team, and the team just held a meeting saying that as long as it reaches the decisive stage, he will stop taking shots. What's the price?Of course it's a loss.

Wei Xia disagreed at first, but the management said that the draft in June will focus on his suggestion.

The 76ers' determination to play badly has reached this point, and Wei Xia has to admit it if he doesn't admit it.

He accepted the unspoken rule of not shooting at the decisive moment, and at the same time got the right to advise in the 2010 summer draft.

To accept is to accept, his belly is still full of flames,

No one wants to lose for nothing, especially losing some games that can obviously be won.

He vented his anger on the All-Star Game. From the game, it can be seen that his face is different from the enjoyment of others. Coupled with the blessing of "Bird's touch", Wei Xia's shooting showed an invincible momentum.

"Wish, does being AMVP mean anything special to you?"

reporter asked.

Wei Xia shook his head calmly: "There is no special meaning."

"Some people say that you exploded because you saw Kobe and remembered things in Los Angeles. Is that true?"

The reporter asked again.

Wei Xia said indifferently: "Is there anyone named Kobe on the court tonight?"

The reporter said embarrassingly: "Uh, Kobe is sidelined due to injury."

Wei Xia finally had a smiling face: "You can understand it this way, if someone calls Kobe on the court, my score will double."

His bragging was drafted.

The inexperienced reporters just wiped their cold sweat after listening to it, while the experienced ones had already started writing articles.

To the outside world, Wei Xia changed not only the environment and the team from the Lakers to the 76ers, but also his style of play, personality, and style.

Everything has changed.

Only those who really knew him knew that nothing had changed.

His situation, his team, and the reality he had to face made him have to compromise. That is the change seen by the outside world. If one day he no longer needs to seek changes, it just means that his life is on the right track.

As for now, the hard days are still long.
