You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 627 Two People

The 76ers' Heat's second battle against Wei Xia's blow to James can be regarded as the second most dramatic event in the lockout season.

After all, it is recognized that James is better than Wei Xia.

No one expected that Wei Xia would explode in this focus game, and lead the team to victory while beating James, extending the lead of the 76ers to three games, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, and becoming the first in the second MVP simulation prediction in March.

Even with such a story, Wei Xia can only rank second.

Number one is "The Linsanity Incident".

Some would hyperbole that this is the greatest sports story ever, a little guy who saves his team on one of the biggest stages in the world, kicks off a crazy show that changes his soon-to-be-out of the league.

There are so many great sports stories, and Jeremy Lin’s story may not rank first, but before the end of the world, before another little person shakes the world in a more touching way, Linsanity is the first global landmark event in 2012.

Because his influence is not only in the league, but also outside the league.

This is a "out of the circle" thing.

However, fairy tales are short-lived.

The story of Jeremy Lin appeared at a critical moment when New Yorkers were short of major generals. Everyone had no expectations of him, but he stood up.However, when those people came back, the honeymoon period between him and Knicks also ended.

Together with the end, as well as the New Yorkers and the Knicks' honeymoon period.

This badass team's moments of fun were short-lived, and for New Yorkers, he quickly turned bad again.

The eyes of the world did not stay on Jeremy Lin much. After the light on his body disappeared, everyone turned their attention away again.

How exciting is it to watch Weixia, James, and Durant compete for the MVP?
The suspension of the season is the athletic ability of Wesha general Havlicek.Skywalker's physicality, Bird's touch and other gifts, and his own honing over the years have all rolled into one season.

It is the season when he is officially at his peak.

Tim Grover doesn't think he's yet at his prime, and that 2012 was just the beginning of his prime, and each offseason can take him a step further before his physical fitness starts to decline significantly.

At the end of March, Wei Xia got a triple-double in five consecutive games.

Entering April, the 76ers were 40-11.

Wei Xia was once again elected the best player in the Eastern Conference.

He suppressed James for two consecutive months and did not let the best of the month fall.

In April, the crucial month of defending the top two, Cousins ​​made a fuss on the court.

He didn't know why, and he provoked the referee, and spit out angrily after being called a technical foul.

Unbiased, just hit the referee's face.

At that time, he had already been called two technical fouls, and the referee could only order the 76ers to expel him quickly. The league's follow-up penalty was the heaviest of the season: a 10-game suspension and a fine of 10 US dollars.

In that game, the 76ers lost.

After the game, Wei Xia said bitterly: "If only his three-pointers were as accurate as his spit."

When Wei Xia returned to the locker room, Cousins ​​wanted to get into the hole.

"Boge, since you have the guts to spit at the referee, you also have the guts to face us, don't bow your head, stand up, did you do something wrong?"

Wei Xia looked at him kindly and asked.

"I didn't want to spit on him," Cousins ​​explained.

"Do you think this explanation makes sense in the league?" Wei Xia asked him,
Cousins ​​said angrily: "Those bastards want to pay my salary!"

"But you still gave them a chance. At such a critical time, when we need you so much, you still can't control your temper. What do you want, Boge?" Weisha asked aggressively, "I really don't know what you want, because you never say it, you only know how to be angry. Haven't you grown up yet? You want to hear people say that about you—DeMarcus Cousins ​​is an immature giant baby. Do you want to hear people say that?"

"I don't!" Cousins ​​yelled.

"Then tell me, what do you want?" Wei Xia asked.

"Sorry...Wish, I'm sorry," Cousins ​​said with his head down.

He still didn't dare to look Wei Xia in the eye.

Wei Xia stopped blaming him and turned to look at other people in the locker room: "I hope there is no second giant baby in the team. I hope you are ready for the next game. Listen, it is I Hope (I HOPE), not I Wish (I Wish). Wish is shit at this moment!"

When the voice fell, Wei Xia thought of him in the Lakers period, and he seemed to have said something similar.

But at that time, he would never lecture in such a way in the locker room.

In order to make the team better, in order to be a real leader, he needs to do it.

Doug Collins is the witness of Wish's transformation from core player to leader.

You could even call him a promoter.

When he first took charge of the 76ers, Wei Xia was still unwilling to take on this responsibility.

But when Collins said the Sixers couldn't win if he wasn't willing to take responsibility, Versia's eyes lit up.Since then, Collins hasn't worried.

Wei Xia may not be a natural leader, he is a man of action, like Kobe, who likes to lead by example.

The advantage of this kind of leader is to drive his teammates through his own efforts. However, when encountering a monster like Cousins, silence and indulgence will only harm others, himself and the team.

Collins is pleased to see Wesha getting it right.

Usually he is boastful, pointing out immediately when he makes a mistake, making a serious mistake is like tonight, making him unable to step down in public, and forcing him to apologize.

There are 13 games left in April, and there are 10 games. The 76ers will play without Cousins.

Without Cousins, not only lost the inside starter, but also lost the inside pillar who averaged 19+11 per game.

The 76ers' wings have to bear more in the following games.

Wei Xia is the answer to all this.

In the ten games Cousins ​​missed, he led the team to an 8-2 record.

In one of the defeats, he was injured and left the field before halftime, which led to the loss.

Wei Xia suffered an ankle contusion injury, but missed the line of fire, and continued to fight until Cousins ​​came back, before he hung up a free card.

As a result, in his truce, Cousins ​​was out of shape and the 76ers were defeated.

With two games left in the regular season of the suspended season, the 76ers ended the regular season with one win and one loss.

At the end of the season, both the 76ers and the Bulls had a record of 50 wins and 16 losses, ranking second in the East due to the relationship between wins and losses, leading the Heat by 4 wins.

It is worth mentioning that due to Cousins' troubles during the season, he did not suffer any injuries but missed 22 games due to various reasons, and only played 44 games in the end.

You know, James' biggest plus point is that he can still lead the team in a hurry when Wade is not around.

But no matter how Wade truce, he also played 49 games.

As the 76ers' second offensive player, first rebounder, and pillar of the interior, Cousins ​​played only 44 games.

In terms of record, the 76ers are above the Heat.

No fair and objective media person can find a reason why James is more worthy of MVP votes than Weixia.

赛季结束，韦夏出战65场，场均出场42分22秒，场均得到30.8分8.8篮板和6.6助攻，三项命中率分别为50.4%、40.2%和91.6%。

This time, he officially joined the 180 club.

再看看詹姆斯的数据，他出战62场，场均37.5分钟，得到27.1分7.9个篮板和6.2次助攻，三项命中率是52%、36.2%、77.1%。

In mid-March, the ESPN article said that James' efficiency is higher, the data is more comprehensive, and the advanced data is more beautiful.

At the end of this season, the only statistic that James can get cheap is his shooting percentage, which is 1 percentage point higher than Wei Xia.

Everything else, including attendance, was suppressed.

Moreover, Wei Xia's supporters returned to him in the same way.

The media supporting James likes to use high-level data to suppress people, and Wei Xia's supporters began to move out high-level data.

After all, this time Wei Xia has the upper hand in all aspects.

When Durant, another young superstar who was vying for the MVP, was asked about this, he said full of desire for survival: "I am still some distance away from the MVP, and I know that I cannot become the MVP before Wish becomes the MVP."

Durant, who has not yet been blackened, has the impeccable speech skills of news public relations.

At this time, he was an amiable boy next door, the pride of America after James, the leader of the next generation, and the development template of countless American teenagers.

His subtext is very clear: let me go, can't I stop arguing?
James is sensitive about MVP affiliation.

"Let's see what happens next," he said.

Wei Xia is much more direct: "Whether I become the MVP or not in the end, in my heart, I already am."

He and James are both of the 1984 generation, but they behave in different ways.

The playoffs have not yet started, but the smoke of MVP is already wafting in the air.
