You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 594 Beginner to Advanced

The summer of 2010 is destined to be an unforgettable summer for the league.

The significance of the 76ers getting two lottery rookies-DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Gordon Hayward through a trade, still needs time to settle down to show the significance.

And some people, from the moment he makes a decision, the meaning appears.

LeBron James made a national sensation by making the decision live on ESPN.

The moment he said he wanted to bring his talents to Miami on the live broadcast, 10,000+ tweets with the hashtag "God hates Cleveland" instantly flooded Twitter.

It's interesting, and food for thought, that instead of airing an extended pregame show ahead of LeBron's return to Cleveland, TNT chose to rerun "Bones."

The episode description reads: "A body is found hanging from a tree."

what does this mean?
There is no suspense, the most exciting game of the new season must be the Heat and the Cavaliers.

And, the location had to be in Cleveland.

That game will be the only national broadcast of the Cavaliers in the new season. Viewers across the United States can see "2 abandoned lovers revenge on the same person" through cable TV. Before the start of the season, Cleveland's anger has begun to burn to the outside world.

The owner wrote letters to criticize James, the fans burned jerseys, and all kinds of helpless rage looked pitiful.

Cleveland fans are miserable, and they have every right to do so.

Not because LeBron left, but because of the way he left.

Things he said after going to Miami only made things worse.

Normally, small-city fans don't ask for much.

They all know that the relationship between small cities and superstars is an uneven equation.

Without a very good football market and no commercial value, there will not be many stars in the entertainment circle at home to enjoy it.

All the fans can do is buy tickets to see you, wear your jersey, root for you, defend you, believe in you, make excuses for you when you pull the strings and, ideally, make you rich.

As long as you can stay in shape and do your best, don't step on their faces.

That's what they're asking for.

Betray the fans and you will feel the anger of the fans.

When the Heat go to Cleveland next season, they will undoubtedly viciously attack LeBron;
Everyone knows that LeBron James deserved it;
In just one day, James went from being the Chosen One most likely to follow in Jordan's footsteps to the villain in everyone's eyes.

Wei Xia was chatting with his parents at home when he made his decision.

Hearing that James brought his talents to Miami, Wei Xia's father Wei Mingliang did not show disgust or disdain. "For LeBron, returning to Cleveland next season is the biggest test."

Wei Xia didn't ask why.

Because Wei Mingliang would continue to talk, he told a story, or rather, it was a competition.

Rockets center Ralph Sampson attacks Celtics backup guard Jerry Sichting PG at the Boston Garden in the 1986 NBA Finals.In response to his actions, there were endless boos in the garden, and the audience in front of the TV could feel Sampson's fear through the big screen at home.

You know, in that era, there was not much distance between fans and players.

After winning the championship, it is normal for fans to flood into the stadium.

Once out of control, will the tens of thousands of angry Bostonians let him go?
So Sampson would be terrified.

Now, that doesn't exist, but James, the totem-like figure of the knight, the belief and idol of countless Clevelands, has abandoned the city in that way, and he will undoubtedly be booed in the most violent way by his fellow countrymen next season.

"However, a real superstar can only face the huge pressure without changing his face." Wei Mingliang's problem with this matter lies in James' ability to resist pressure.

Wei Xia imagines that he is James, how should he deal with the game against the Cavaliers next season?
Obviously, that kind of pressure is not something he can handle.

he will run away.

Is he a coward?No, if it was him who did that kind of thing, he would feel ashamed to face his hometown fans, let alone stand in front of them with confidence.

In a word, why are you hurting this group of people?

Even if you want to leave, let's go, and broadcast your decision live across the United States. Sprinkling salt on the wound is not enough to describe the evil of this matter.

If it was Wei Xia, he didn't think he could bear the pressure.

For no other reason, his thin skin and his shame will kill his fighting spirit first.

So for the first time in his life, he has admiration for James. He has already stated that his goal for next season is to be full season.

This sentence indirectly shows that he will not avoid the road in Cleveland.

LeBron is a true warrior!

In other words, to live without worry in the troubled world—especially after hurting everyone in your hometown, you need not only a big heart and a thick skin, but also absolute rationality and composure.

This summer, the Chosen One has torn his veil.

He just wants to control his own destiny, walk out of a path that predecessors would not dare to take even if they thought about it, and thus change the ecology of the entire league.

He is like an enlightener, awakening the consciousness of the players in a very controversial way.

Why do we allow management to control our careers?If they screw things up, then we decide our own lives!
Judging from the impact of "decision" on the future league, it cannot be completely defined as exquisite self-interest, because it was James who set the precedent. In the future, teams, no matter small city teams or big city teams, in order to make their core feel at ease, they will do their best to reinforce when the championship window comes.

The far-reaching impact of the "decision" was unimaginable to people at the time, because most people, like Silent Love, just wanted to cross the Pacific Ocean and give James the middle finger: "Zhan, run, you will never be as good as Kobe!"

No matter how you interpret James' actions, Cleveland is innocent. Maybe God really hates Cleveland, and they can't do anything about it.Even they themselves couldn't understand why James gave them a knife before leaving.

In mid-August, Wei Xia officially obtained Chinese nationality.

In fact, it was still a little late. At that time, the Chinese men's basketball team was preparing for the 2010 World Championships. If they knew that the procedure was going so fast, maybe Wei Xia would also be in the national team at this time.

For domestic fans, the most important thing is that Wei Xia has obtained nationality.

Starting today, he can represent the Chinese team.

This World Championships is not good, next year's Asian Championships, the next year's Olympic Games, a lot of opportunities, many competitions are waiting for him.

In September, the Pacers' preseason training camp is about to start.

In order to prepare for the 2010-11 season, the 76ers chose to start camp in Florida.

In the past summer, in addition to sending Iguodala away, they won two generals in the draft, signed free agent Tony Batty, and even sent captain Elton Brand to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Spencer Hawes and Anders Nocioni.

This transaction was considered a loss.

Brand, although a bit of a premium, is basically the Sixers' second-best player right now.Unless Cousins ​​guarantees that he will be normal every day after entering the league, before he enters his second season, Brand is the number one insider for the 76ers.

Sending Brand off was interpreted by the "Philadelphia Daily News" as giving up his seat to young people.

Because the two players returned, like Hawes and Nocioni, are not the type that the 76ers urgently need.

Nocioni is known as a corner three-pointer, but the 76ers don't need it. They don't even want Jason Kapono. What kind of corner three-pointer do they need?
Nocioni also grabs rebounds.

Unfortunately, Wei Xia, Yang, and Cousins ​​can all be caught.

Nocioni can also defend, and what's more, Wei Xia, Zhu Holiday and Yang are all good defenders.

Nocioni seems to be able to do everything, but nothing leads the team.

As for Hawes, using him is like trading a different card.

Whites, long shots, support, and passing are in contrast to Brand's black strength, dunks, and blocks.In recent years, while Brand has supported Philadelphia's inside line, he has also made Philadelphia's offense one-dimensional... Therefore, why not give it a try and see how much Hawes can liberate the 76ers?

Moreover, no one in Philadelphia thought he could play a leading role.

What Philadelphia is really looking forward to is Cousins.Hawes is just an addition to the new lineup.

In addition to the above reinforcements, the 76ers have also changed coaches for five consecutive years.

Replacing Eddie Jordan as the team's new head coach is the familiar yet unfamiliar Doug Collins.

The last time Collins coached in the NBA was in Washington in 2002. As Jordan's nanny, he teamed up to kill the budding Kwame Brown.

However, he may be the best coach the 76ers have had since Larry Brown left. You know: He brought out Jordan in the late 80s and Hill in the mid-90s.He's good at finding a superstar, entrusting him with the team, and letting other role players follow suit.

Right now, with the Philadelphia 76ers he leads, everyone can do a lot of things.The downside is: it seems that there is no Jordan or Hill here. Although Wei Xia has just played a + scoring season, no one has linked him to Jordan in the 80s and Hill in the 90s.

Moreover, there are no veterans like Dumars or pure role players like Mills in the original Pistons.

Philly's starting lineup has an overabundance of talent and swings everywhere, making it impossible to find a pure shooter or a pure blue-collar.

At least Wei Xia should be happy.

As far as the currently unemployed coaches are concerned, no one knows how to stimulate the full potential of young superstars better than Doug Collins.

Collins may not be able to guide him on the road to victory, but he has a wealth of experience that can allow Weixia to complete the transformation from a junior superstar to a high-level superstar.
