Chapter 613 Players who cannot be subdued by conventional means

Cousins ​​failed to understand Wesha's "look at God" remarks.

He didn't even know whether the God Wei Xia spoke of was God in a broad sense or something else.

The saying that Jordan is the god of basketball, Wei Xia only heard about it when he went to China.

When he returned to China to apply for a permanent residence permit last year, he took the time to participate in a one-on-one interview with a local TV station. One of the questions was this: "Is Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, your basketball enlightenment?"

At that time, I asked Wei Xia in a daze.

Because there is no such term in the United States.

The two sides made a little preparation, and the game was about to begin.

The 76ers' starting lineup has changed a bit.

Thaddeus Young was out due to injury and was replaced by Ryan Hollins.

The Bulls' starting lineup looks much more coordinated: Rose, Keith Bogans (Keith Bogans SG/SF), Luol Deng, Boozer, Noah.

"Do you want to play an energetic game for the MVP tonight?"

In addition to the pleasantries before the game, Wei Xia would say strange things that made Rose think more from time to time to disturb the opponent's attention.

In layman's terms, he is a bit eccentric.

But there was a smile on his face all the time, and his tone was fine, just the words he said.
Wei Xia never felt that his words would make people sick. Anyone who felt uncomfortable with him, he would put the blame on the other party, because even if his words were inappropriate, he did not attack the other party personally.

The ball is thrown from the referee's hands.

Noah couldn't beat Cousins ​​in the jump ball.

"Snapped!"

Cousins ​​made a jump ball.

"Great, Boge!" Holiday yelled, holding the ball in his hand, and Wei Xia, who was standing behind, shouted.

In the month since the sweet-talking tactics were implemented against Cousins, Cousins’ emotions have been effectively controlled, technical fouls have decreased, and the average fouls per game has dropped.

In this era when mentioning Howard’s name requires a blank space to show respect, this era where traditional centers are almost extinct and there is no second top center, an insider who can average 16+10+3 assists per game in a rookie season in a single month is like a dinosaur that escaped the mass extinction. It is rare and precious, and should be cherished.

But Wei Xia's approach is obviously too much.

I can boast about a jump ball, is it different from those with cerebral palsy who praise how good a 17-year-old idol has learned to serve rice?

For Wei Xia, there is a big difference.

If the 17-year-old idol who learned how to serve food is not praised, he will do more commendable things to show to the cerebral palsy, and if you don’t give him verbal encouragement and support for Cousins ​​from the beginning, he may think "it's not fun, I and he are ignored again" in minutes, and then start doing it.

Cousins ​​himself may not be that sensitive, but Wei Xia is unwilling to take risks and destroy the beauty that finally appeared.

The 76ers' first offense fell on Holiday.

He beckoned Cousins ​​for a pick-and-roll, passed Rose, and pulled up for a jumper.

Rose followed up at such a speed that he almost blocked him from the side.

The opponent's block was half a second late, but Holiday's ball had deviated from the direction, bang.

Wei Xia retreated early to prevent Rose from grabbing defensive rebounds and speeding up.

The effect is outstanding.

The Bulls fell into a positional battle and were in a stalemate for 10 seconds. Rose lobbed a pass to Deng under the basket.

Deng made a strong attack with the ball and hit the board.

2 is better than 0
Holiday no longer attacks, and it is his habit to try his hand at the beginning.

His tactical status with the 76ers is a bit like the Lakers' Derek Fisher.

Sometimes, he can go beyond the tactics and attack with the ball as he likes, as long as the success rate is guaranteed, he can do whatever he wants.

If he can't make a shot, he is the most consistent top-of-the-arc shooter.

Since his rookie season, his defensive skills have been praised. Now he gave the ball to Wei Xia, and Wei Xia then lobbed it to Cousins, who was in the low post.

Cousins ​​got the ball, turned around to face the basket, and made a tentative step one meter away from the paint. After all, Noah has experience and made a firm shot.

Now that the opponent has let go, Cousins ​​has no reason not to make a move.

After confirming Noah's position, he ignored the slightest interference from the opponent and made a shot.

2 is better than 2
"Awesome, Boge!"

In the process of returning to defense, Wei Xia slapped Cousins' butt hard.

Cousins ​​rubbed his buttocks shyly. At first he was not used to the way Wei Xia encouraged him, but now he is used to it. When Wei Xia praised him for his strength, he was not humble and a little proud: "I don't even want to play that kind of defense!"

"Yes, you can hit a hundred shots in front of him."

As they spoke, Holiday encountered a situation.

Derrick Rose, an inexhaustible genius who promised to win the MVP after only three years in the league, solved Holiday's defense with just an exaggerated change in front of his body that made it unbelievable.

The posture of starting a breakthrough is like lightning, and Cousins ​​​​has already tried his best to help defend.

But what Rose adopted was a must-have killer move for contemporary defenders to avoid defense assistance-throwing!
With it, even a height difference of half a meter is not a problem.

With it, there is no need to worry about facing Yao Huang, who has Rose's jumping ability.

"Shh!"

Rose decisively responded to the ball, like a thorn in a rose, right in the heart of the 76ers.

4 is better than 2
After finishing the work, he walked away with the classic "what's so surprising that my young master knows more" proud and unrestrained.

"Boge, shall I go heads-up next round?" Wei Xia asked in a questioning tone.

Cousins ​​looked puzzled: "The boss is not here, so you don't need to ask anyone for instructions if you want to attack?"

"I mean, in order to match my offense, can you move your leg away from the basket?"

"How far?"

"Beyond the three-point line"

"Is that where a pure man should stand?"

In order to prove that he is a pure man and not let Wei Xia get into trouble, Cousins ​​chose the position-the three-point line!What a genius, he stands on the three-point line, which neither shows that he is not a pure man, but also creates the theoretical maximum space for Wei Xia. Although the Bulls' insiders take a one-meter attitude towards him standing on the three-point line, it is enough.

The Bulls asked Bogans to face Weixia.

It seems to be winning the first-class horse against the first-class horse, but in fact it has its own reasons.

Rose has superhuman physical fitness, but he is only a point guard after all. Against Wei Xia, he will be misplaced and eaten raw.

Deng's speed couldn't keep up with Wei Xia.

Well, it can only be Bogans.

Bogans is from the 03 generation. He is considered a veteran. He can play three positions and has outstanding defensive ability. Because of his mediocre offense, not many people know him.

"How should I deal with you?" Wei Xia asked Bogans after getting the ball.

Bogans begged for mercy and said, "Let me go?"

"Then I use my left hand?"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Xia forced a side attack, and the speed was so fast that Bogans had only doubts: what about using the left hand as agreed?

His questions were quickly answered.

Wei Xia said to attack with his left hand, but he didn't say to use his left hand for the whole process.

What he inherited from Byrd obviously does not contain the other side's left-handed skills.

Wei Xia's left hand is practiced by himself little by little. Although it can't achieve the same power as his right hand, it should not be underestimated.

Bogans' defensive strength is largely due to his weight, which can bring strong pressure to opponents.But Wei Xia is also a heavy shooting guard himself. Thanks to the talents of Havlicek and Skywalker, he can maintain his athleticism and explosiveness.

Bogans has no such talent.

He couldn't keep up with Wei Xia's right hand breakthrough and was about to lose his position. Suddenly, Wei Xia stopped suddenly, turned around relying on his strong body, and threw the ball straight with his left hand.

"Boom!"

"Sau Rui," Wei Xia said, waving his left hand, "it's too aggressive."

The positional battle fell, and Rose faced Holiday.

The ball slapped lightly in his hands. Although Holiday looked like a defensive fighter on the perimeter, in the face of absolute speed and explosive power, neither skill nor experience would be effective.

Rose had no skill in beating Holiday. He started, changed direction, and his speed did not decrease. No one knew how fast he could go. The moment he surpassed others, it was like lightning hitting the ground.

The sharpest thorn in the Windy City once again fell on the 76ers.

Once or twice, you may not see the strength. If things go on like this, those stab wounds will explode together, making the Philadelphians lose hope of winning.

"Lian, you go out early!"

Cousins ​​spread his hands.

Hollins was silent, and he didn't expect Cousins ​​to feel the same way.

He really felt that if he went out early, the result would be the same.

For him, Rose is already a top player who cannot be subdued by conventional means.
