You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 638

Thaddeus Young was diagnosed with a broken right foot and will miss several months.

This means that the 76ers' starting power forward for the new season is actually vacant.

For this position, the 76ers have many people gearing up.

In order to make himself more comprehensive, Ryan Hollins lost weight during the offseason (he was not good at fighting), and he became a four-to-five inside swingman.No matter how he changes, he is best known for his ability to cause trouble on the court that is exactly the same as Wei Xia.

In addition to him, there is Chuck Hayes. His body is more difficult than a center, and he is not enough to top a power forward, but the opponents encountered at the power forward position must not be as exaggerated in size as a center.

When Hayes was in the Rockets before, he served as the starting center many times and played well.

There are many famous scenes on the defensive end alone.

Yang's injury will put a lot of pressure on the 76ers' inside line and increase the burden on Cousins.Because the temporary starters are definitely not as outstanding as Yang, and everything will be fine if they don't have any problems, and they are not expected to make other contributions at all.

"Boge, Thaddeus is injured, you have to pick up the inside."

During the training camp, Wei Xia often instilled responsibility and mission in Cousins, which were difficult words for him.

The 76ers hope that Cousins ​​will play such a season, and he will be like a shark in the offense. Since the beginning of the season, he has scored 25+12 consecutively. He singled out the league's No. 30 center Howard to get 15 points and [-] rebounds.

球探报告显示他近距离勾射、抛射命中率大幅提升，防守端也在海耶斯的帮助下变得大为靠谱；道格·柯林斯大肆赞扬他的成熟和以身作则；和韦夏凑成联盟最好的挡拆组合；赛季末以场均23分12篮板3助攻2封盖50%命中率收尾；帮助球队在季后赛中大展宏图，然后被选进联盟第二阵容。

Doesn't it look beautiful?

Because this assumes the best case.

Cousins ​​is also likely to have such a season.

Completely unaccustomed to the offensive end without Thaddeus Young, complained about the team's tactics in the first month of the season, then competed with referees and opponents, suffered consecutive technical fouls, was suspended in a certain game, and was suspended by the team for disobeying the team's arrangements.

Both cases are extreme, but the most likely scenario is a little bit of both extremes.

During the preseason training camp, through the players' training and various confrontation games, Collins generally saw the status of each player.

Weixia's stability is as usual, Holiday's steady progress, Hayward only needs to maintain the level of last season, Cousins. He probably made everyone who wanted to guide him except Hayes very angry.

At the end of the training camp, Collins roughly set the current starting lineup.

Wei Xia and Cousins ​​​​will not move.

Holiday, as the iron gate on the No. [-] position, cannot move.

Hayward has adapted to the offensive and defensive intensity of the NBA-level third position, and he is the 76ers' answer to the third position.

The candidate for the fourth position, the person Collins fancy is Spencer Hawes.

In terms of height, getting Hawes into the starting list is equivalent to playing double heights.

The pace of the 76ers will be slowed down, but it will be helpful for a few points.

One of them is that Hawes is not a black hole in possession of the ball.As a defender, he has solid basic skills. If it weren't for the skyrocketing height in his third and fourth grades, he should be a good defender.Some people have skyrocketed in height, their agility remains unchanged, and with their original athletic ability, they have suddenly changed from an unknown player to the number one potential stock in the United States.Like Anthony Davis and David Robinson.

Some people played well as guards, but their height suddenly increased, which took away their agility and coordination. Although they still scored in the NBA, they could only rely on their skills and game awareness to become a player who can survive in the NBA.Just like Hawes.

Hawes, who was born as a guard, has range and can cope. He averaged 76 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game for the 2ers last season. He successfully reduced Hollins' average playing time to about 10 minutes per game.

Although Hollins lost weight in the offseason and wanted to get more time at the power forward position, there is obviously a problem with the direction of his efforts.

To become a power forward who is useful to the 76ers and fits well with Cousins, weight loss is not the key, the key is to be able to open up the space.

Hollins' three-point ability is still at the level of the cycads not blooming, and when the accuracy of mid-range and long-distance is similar to that of Spencer, Collins will naturally put the latter's priority in front of him.

For several new players joining the team, such as veteran Nash, Collins is not clear about his positioning.

Because Collins is unwilling to let Holiday play as a substitute, although his organizational ability is as simple as an innocent boy who has never tasted a woman compared to Nash, young people have their own advantages.

Although Nash is a famous player, he has reached the age where he can absorb soil. If he is not careful, he will get injured.

Philadelphia is not Phoenix, there is no genius doctor, and there is no climate environment suitable for people to recuperate. It seems that it is a more correct decision to let him play as a substitute.

However, the sixth man of the 76ers already has Lu Wei. If Lu Wei and Nash are allowed to play together, what will happen?
Two of the three worst defensive guards in the league sit on the 76ers' bench.

If they can bring in Derek Fisher, they will have a Diablo Big Three with terrible defense but can hit the ball.

In the preseason of the new season, the 76ers set off for China as a team participating in the China game.

However, there was no Chinese derby in the preseason match held in China.

Because Wei Xia is the only Chinese in the league.

Last season, after the Mavericks received a one-year veteran's basic salary, he felt that there was no room for development in the NBA. If he continued to spend it, he would have to serve tea and water and wave towels. There is not much money to be made if he delays his youth.What he didn't know was that the CBA at that time had changed. It came from the combination of Stephen Marbury who bestowed his body and mind to the capital. As an NBA All-Star, he was past his prime, but the lean camel was bigger than the horse.

He completely regards the team as his own home, and can work hard for the championship, which is not available in other CBA foreign players.

In the next few years, the situation stirred up by Marbury completely changed the structure and ecology of the CBA, which was the prelude to a new era.

In the two China games, the 76ers won one and lost one.

The only constant is Cousins' performance.

When the confrontation intensity becomes low, he is like a god on the court, and no one can stop him.

Take what you want and win the audience, scoring 20 points, 19 rebounds and 29 points and 15 rebounds.

"If Cousins ​​continues to play like this, the 76ers' new season will be very exciting!"

The two commentators from CCTV took a sip of Beijing movies and were very pleased with Cousins' progress.

"It's interesting. Cousins' biggest change is that he is more stable than before. He knows what he should do!" The biggest characteristic of domestic commentators is that they always know themselves better than players, and they do not analyze the game realistically. "Thaddeus Young's injury has had a great impact on him. He understands what responsibility is and is willing to shoulder the responsibility."

Two days later, the notion that Cousins ​​had grown more poised and willing to shoulder the blame became a joke.

"Are you blowing the fuck? Am I foul?"

the first T
"Do you fucking think I'm a bully?"

When Cousins ​​was about to rush to the referee and tear him up, Wei Xia rushed up to hang him, so as to avoid the escalation of the situation.

"Don't stop me, I'm not wrong at all!" Cousins ​​said angrily, "I want to make it clear to that idiot referee!"

Wei Xia sternly shouted: "Go down, Boge!"

Usually Wei Xia can let him and coax him. At this time, he will often act extremely tough and cannot be refuted.

Cousins ​​is like a blind bear, a master who bullies the soft and fears the hard, seeing that Wei Xia is going to go crazy, he is afraid, and whispers in his mouth: "You shouldn't call me a foul"

"If this is still a foul, what kind of ball do you play? Go home and get the hydrangea ball."

"**referee!"

His step-by-step and sentence-by-step thoughts proved how unwilling he was. Although it was only a preseason game, he was sent off. What the 76ers saw was not just a short-term trouble.

If Cousins ​​still likes to compete with referees so much, there will be more troubles in the future.

He was better than Rasheed Wallace when it came to taking on referees.

Rashid is usually blown by the referee because he can't hold back his movements and complains too loudly. He dare not fight against the referee.And Cousins ​​dared.

Not only did he dare, but he also had an inexplicable sense of mission, as if one of his missions in this world was to save the referee's judgment.

He has worked tirelessly for this for three years, with mediocre results, but he decided to keep working hard.

He expects to find a referee who agrees with him.

This kind of referee must exist, it is hard to say whether it is in the United States or not.

After all, only like can understand like.Cousins ​​is already a rare existence in the basketball world, and the base number of players and referees are not of the same magnitude. The number of referees is even rarer than the number of players.
