You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 605 Walking Into His Heart
Chapter 611 Walking Into His Heart

"The game has entered a critical moment, Detroit is ready to serve!"

"Ronnie Starkey! Ronnie Starkey! Watch out for Ronnie Starkey—" There was a stifling silence, "Wish! Wish steals the ball! Wish steals the pass from Detroit!"

The reason for the voice of the commentator to continue to rise is that Wei Xia steals the sideline serve of the Pistons, which is exactly the same as the serve he broke the Celtics in the Finals three years ago.

Cousins ​​fouled out at the critical moment, and Weicha made a steal and a counter-attack lore, bringing the game to a dramatic end.

The 76ers struggled to win the game.

Pistons fans have their own reasons and reasons for being sad. Prince Stuckey, who was forced to ascend to the big position, did not perform as expected. Tonight against the 76ers, he played a rare good game, but was lore.

More in vain than Tayshaun Prince's brilliant performance.

Seeing his teammates win the game for himself, Cousins ​​​​could not be happy because he was not on the court and did not bring much help. Although Wei Xia praised him for his "super high level" tonight, he knew that his performance tonight was not ideal.

Winning didn't bring enough excitement, and he suddenly couldn't see anything.

The reporter wanted to interview him with a smile, but was frightened away by his frightening eyes, and walked into the player tunnel from the court.He is silent.

His high school coach, Otis Hughley, unexpectedly spoke to reporters in his place.

Speaking of Cousins, Hughley has a lot to say.

"I've seen many people try to reform him, but they all fail."

"I think first you have to figure out how to use him, because in my opinion, this kid is fragile, he doesn't trust anyone but his mother. DeMarcus is a good kid, but he is too emotional, sometimes he needs to sit down and cool off," Hughley said. "This is the cool-off period that he needs, just leave him alone."

His words explain why no one interviewed Cousins, and Cousins ​​was not interviewed, nor did he appear in the press conference.

Defeating the Pistons made Wei Xia happy, not only because he completed a key steal, but more importantly, he began to get Cousins' context.

When he arrived before Cousins ​​blew up and spun off and "sweetened" Cousins ​​to calm him down, he didn't push himself.

Maybe today was just an accident, maybe this is the way to deal with Cousins.

"I think maybe no one ever really knew Boge."

Wei Xia told the media that night.

They consolidated the fourth place in the East, leading the Magic by 3 games, and behind the Celtics by 1 game. The top two above them are the Big Three of the Heat and the fast-rising Chicago Bulls.

When the Heat's Big Three formed an army, some people thought they could break the Bulls' record of 96 and win 73.The result is surprising. Absolute athletic talent cannot cover up the shortcomings of the lineup. The severely insufficient salary space makes them have no more salary to make strong signings. They can only count on the basic salary of veterans to invest.

Moreover, the Big Three still need to work together, but the Bulls have become an emerging force that can influence the pattern of the East after Rose has completed his evolution from the edge of the All-Star to the superstar.

The 76ers ranked fourth in the East, and Wei Xia also led the scoring list again.

Last year he became the scoring leader and defeated Durant in the first battle. This year, his main competitor is Durant.

But Durant's Thunder has completed the initial talent accumulation.

Russell Westbrook has proven his potential, and his comparisons to Derrick Rose have landed them in archrival reserves.Due to his no-brained style at the top, he also won the title of "the only person who can prevent Durant from dying".

Also, the rise of James Harden will also divide some of the ball.

Therefore, Durant's scoring is not high this year, currently averaging 28 points per game, ranking second in the scoring list.

However, Wei Xia has firmly occupied the first place in the scoring list with an average of 31 points per game.

Although the 76ers ushered in two lottery picks, Cousins ​​averaged only 14 points per game, and his attendance could not be guaranteed.

Hayward, like many white forwards, is slowly adapting to the NBA.

Holiday, Thaddeus Young and others have gradually developed a conditioned reflex to find Wei Xia to pass the ball.

Only Lu Wei can divide Weixia's possession of the ball.

In most cases this season, Wei Xia still has to bear a lot of offense.

Currently, he leads the scoring list with an average of 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 48%.

Just looking at the shooting percentage, he is already at the top level in the league, but his three-point shooting percentage is even more surprising. With an average of 2.5 goals per game, he shot an astonishing 43.6% shooting percentage.

This is not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated is that his free throw percentage has reached the peak of his career so far: 91%.

Wei Xia's three-pointers, Wei Xia's free throw touch, Wei Xia's shooting percentage, and Wei Xia's offensive methods have all reached the highest values ​​since entering the industry.

Every time a commentator mentions Wei Xia, they will also mention the Lakers.

Look what they gave up for Ron Artest.

It is true that Artest seemed the safest choice at the time, but what they sent away for this was a top ten or even top five superstar in the league.

Bynum, who stayed behind, set himself on fire in the predicament of not being able to become the starter because he could not compete with the Gasol brothers, and became an unstable factor for the Lakers.

Last summer, the Lakers also let go of Kyle Lowry (unwilling to match a big contract) and Rudy Ferrandez (homesick after a serious injury). The departure of two young immediate combat powers made their lineup no longer young and dynamic.

Gasol has been exhausted after three years of two championships.

Under the NBA rules, although Gasol is used to defending for three seconds, there is a certain positional conflict with his brother.They could not reproduce the tacit understanding of the national team period.

Bryant's injuries, Artest's aging, and the riots caused by Bynum made the Lakers' title hopes look slim.

But the Lakers haven't given up yet.

They want to trade Bynum before the activation of Gasol's maximum salary contract, bring a fourth star to the Lakers, and form a cosmic-level F4 that can compete with the Heat on the wings and blast the opponent inside.

Those who are familiar with the history of the Lakers should know that the teams that form F4 usually do not end well.

The day after defeating the Pistons, the 76ers held training sessions as usual.

Wesha deliberately approached Cousins' high school coach Otis Hughley.

Although Hughley is a rookie in the NBA, he has been engaged in basketball for decades. In terms of qualifications, he has much more than Weixia.

Seeing Wei Xia's eyes and walking position, he knew that he had something to look for him.

Therefore, Hughli deliberately walked to the corner and asked Wei Xia to come directly.

"Coach, can I have a chat with you?" Wei Xia asked politely.

Hughley smiled and said, "Of course, Wish."

"Do you understand the current situation of DeMarcus?" Wei Xia cut to the point.

He was direct, and so was Hughley.

"Before I came to Philadelphia, I did a special investigation and got a basic understanding of the situation." Hughley said, "I can say responsibly that DeMarcus now is no different from his college or high school days."

Wei Xia smiled bitterly: "Is this a good thing?"

Hughley's words prove that from high school to college, and then to the NBA, Cousins ​​has only improved his body and skills, and his heart?No progress.

"Simply put, he's not a bad kid. He doesn't like racing like some people. His relatives and friends emphasize that he doesn't like to drink and doesn't like to go to parties. His dream before playing basketball was to go to the NFL. He didn't choose to play basketball until he found out that he was too big and his knees might not be able to support his body. But he didn't really become interested in basketball until the seventh grade." Why, Wish?"

If Wei Xia knew, he wouldn't be standing here.

Happily, Hughley seems to be able to give him the answer.

"Do you know?"

"perhaps."

Wei Xia looked straight at Hughley, he valued Cousins, he could see Cousins' talent, and he could see Cousins' talent, but he knew that if he couldn't control his temper, if he didn't reduce the frequency of getting into trouble, even if he became a star or a superstar, he would hurt the team at critical moments.

That's something the 76ers can't afford.

"I think he made himself look like a passionate young man, but the real him is very shy," Hughley said. "He felt that he was not understood by others, and he didn't want others to know him too much. He felt that he had a lot of abilities, so he secretly hoped that someone would praise him; Know—he can do everything."

There is a saying, "go to piss off the referee, go find trouble" this kind of thing won't and doesn't matter
Wei Xia quickly found the point-"He felt that he had a lot of abilities, so he hid it in his heart, hoping that someone would praise him; if the praise was not enough."

Yesterday's game against the Pistons undoubtedly proved this point.

Versia lauded an underperforming Cousins ​​as "super high," and his anger was contained.

He didn't act extreme, he just walked off the court quietly and watched them win.

If at that time, his violent temper brought a T to the 76ers and allowed the Pistons to get two free throws and one throw, would there still be Wei Xia's steal lore?
"You mean, should I praise him more?" Wei Xia asked.

"It's not should, it's necessary." Hughley smiled, "Caring for him, taking care of him, encouraging him, comforting him, letting him know that you value him from the bottom of your heart, and you want to walk into his heart, Wish."
