You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 671 Fanatical One-Dragon Lover (1770)
Chapter 681 A Passionate One-Dragon Fan

After some simple communication, Wei Xia had a general understanding of the situation.

Los Angeles is a bustling place, but if you want to travel by car, you often encounter traffic jams.Kobe is also a person with a strong sense of time. For him, replacing a motor vehicle with an airplane.It's a trade of money for time.

Accidents and accidents are basically out of his consideration, because the probability of an airplane crash is much lower than that of a car accident.

Unless Wei Xia convinced him that he would have an accident sooner or later if he continued to fly, it was impossible for him to switch back to a motor vehicle.

After talking on the phone, Wei Xia made up his mind.

From that dream, he can get a lot of enlightenment.One of them is that the things predicted in the dream come in order.

Jayden's death, his departure, Kobe's down, the plane crash.

Now, three of these four things have happened, and he only prevented Jayden's death, so when did the plane crash?What can he do to prevent this from happening?

Just this question made his brain explode.

He decided to let go of himself and devote himself to training.

The first preseason training camp hosted by Jay Wright, he is still in the stage of understanding the player's ability.

He found that the depth of the 76ers' lineup was far beyond his imagination.After strengthening during the offseason, the 76ers can produce good players in almost every position.

The number one position is slightly weaker, and Holiday is good both offensively and defensively, but lacks organizational skills.

Nash can make up for Holiday's shortcomings, but his age and unhealthy body are well known.

In the second position, the 76ers' management extremely trusts Wei Xia's ability.

Because Wei Xia has to play about 38 minutes in each game, the substitute in this position only needs to be able to cope with the remaining ten minutes.

The 76ers don't even have a serious second-position substitute.

When Wei Xia was off the court, it was basically the time for Holiday, Nash and Lu Wei to dance wildly.A combo guard and two pure point guards swing back and forth, and the defense is exploded every day, but the duration is not long, so it doesn't matter.

In the third position, Hayward is becoming more and more mature, the second-year Singler is a good substitute, plus the new rookie Andre Robertson, a strong starter, all-round rotation and potential substitute, this is almost the most complete, healthy and balanced position for the 76ers.

Positions [-] and [-] are a little crowded, overflowing with talent.

Cousins, Hollins, Thaddeus Young, Odom, Faried, Hayes.

The most mediocre Hayes seems to be a spiritual leader.

What Wright is most distressed at the moment is how to arrange the starting lineup of the insiders.

Young missed a season last season due to injury, and Faried stepped in temporarily and performed well.

One summer has passed, and Faried's muscles and bones have become stronger. He is very suitable to partner with Cousins ​​on the defensive end, and he mainly eats cakes on the offensive end.

The original starter Young was a swingman who successfully transitioned from the three to the four.

Last season, Odom, who averaged 10+6+6 per game, how to allocate time, where Hollins and Hayes are. These problems will cause troubles as the season progresses.

"Coach, you seem distressed."

Wei Xia saw Wright's worry.

"As you can see, we have a very sufficient reserve of personnel." When did Wright, who played an eight-man rotation in Villanova in the past, fight this kind of surplus battle?

The troubles of happiness are also troubles.

This problem, Wei Xia can do nothing.

If the team's problems are easy to solve, the 76ers can't afford to invite Wright.

After a week of training, Wright has basically mastered the characteristics of the players after many confrontation matches and training observations.

Moreover, unlike other coaches, he determined the roster early in the morning, allowing those players who missed the roster to leave the training camp early without delaying each other.

There are still some players left.

They have the opportunity to join the 76ers' subordinate team in the NBA Development League.

If you are lucky, the 76ers have a wave of injuries, and some of them will play in the NBA as firefighters.If you're lucky, it's possible to become a blockbuster in the arena, make a name for yourself, and reach the pinnacle of your life from now on.

Ahead of media day, Wright arranged a head-to-head matchup.

Weixia led the white team, and his teammates were Weaver, Hayward, Odom and Hollins.

Cousins ​​led the black team, and his teammates were Lu Wei, Nash, Faried, and Thaddeus Young.

That's right, Young played small forward.

But in fact, both he and Faried are short insiders. In terms of moving speed alone, it is no problem to play as a small forward, let alone a guest small forward.The only problem with the two of them playing the three and four positions is space.

Moreover, for any team with Lu Wei and Nash as the backcourt combination, don't even think about the perimeter defense.

After the game started, Wei Xia and Weaver, Lamar Odom, and Hollins, four old Lakers players, had a bond beyond imagination.

Wei Xia took a stride, cut in from the side, and had been separated from Odom for many years, and then cooperated, it was still the same as before.His passing was more sophisticated than in the past, less chic to tease the audience—probably because there were no audience at the scene—and more secure and solid.

It is also the support pass that helps teammates score, and Odom is more reliable now than in the past.

Wei Xia easily overwhelmed the black team's defense.

Faried's help defense is very good, he is as good at roaming as Big Ben, and he knows exactly what the basic plate of the 76ers is.

Cousins ​​​​is the core of offense and defense, but his mobility prevents him from becoming a Spider-Man with infinite coverage like Garnett.He needs the fourth position to wipe his ass. Although Young's offensive methods can open up space, his defense is as problematic as Cousins.

Here lies Farid's greatest strength.

The 76ers have no shortage of offensive and defensive players.

Weixia's ability surpassed James's election as DPOY last season. The most convincing point is that he used his defense to make this team that should not be known for its defense play the top six defenses in the league.

His energy on the defensive end, the effort and energy he puts into it, is unimaginable.

"Shit, you dare to enter?"

Cousins ​​yelled loudly.

The reason is that Hayward hit a long-range three-pointer with a distance of one and a half meters from the top of the arc.

Hayward showed off his muscles confidently, and he must have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Cousins ​​failed to show his improvement against Hollins and Odom in this game.

Just looking at the offensive methods, Cousins ​​may already be the most comprehensive and omnipotent of all the insiders in the league.

The low-post offense is comprehensive, has tonnage, can steadily eat short and thin centers, meets taller and stronger than him, can turn over and shoot, can attack with the ball, can pull outside to shoot three-pointers, and likes to catch defensive rebounds one-stop.

Especially this one-stop holding the ball after grabbing the defensive rebound made Wright very distressed.

Is it bad to do so?Strictly speaking, there is no absolute good or absolute bad.

Being able to hold the ball at will to make a one-stop counterattack shows that Cousins' basic skills are superior, and it is not comparable to rough insiders like Noah and Jordan who can't understand shooting.

The problem is that the center's frequent counter-attack with the ball consumes physical energy and disrupts the team's rhythm. A sudden attack can certainly shock the audience, but playing like this all the time will only affect the team's speed.

Moreover, no matter from which point of view, it is much more dangerous for a center forward to dribble across the half court than a serious defender dribbles across the half court.

Cousins ​​frequently brings out his skills in this area, as if hoping to be praised for his versatility.

What did Wright see?He snubbed two good point guards.

Because of his frequent possession of the ball, Lu Wei and Nash have nothing to do.

Lu Wei is one of the few bench heads-up players in the league, and he is not afraid of even superstars when he is in form.Nash was the best point guard in the last decade, and now they stare at Cousins ​​who just wants to show off his skills.

The white team easily dominates the black team.

The tacit understanding between the old Lakers and Hayward's desire to "get rid of Cousins ​​​​and make it quick" made the game look like there is not much suspense.

Cousins ​​overplayed his hand, giving White a 22-point win over Black.

Only Cousins ​​scored in double figures for the black team, and the others had poor statistics.

"I saw your efforts in this game." Wright said specifically to Cousins, "I think everyone must fulfill their responsibilities and obligations, and at the same time, don't take on responsibilities that don't belong to you, especially when your teammates don't show up."

Cousins ​​may be an idiot, but there's no way he doesn't understand what Wright is implying when he stares at him and says those words.

"What if it's an emergency?" Cousins ​​asked.

No matter who will be the head coach of the 76ers, Cousins ​​​​is the number one problem.

"Were there so many emergencies just now?" Wright asked.

Cousins' words were impeccable: "That's right? Coach, didn't you see it? We were behind the whole way. If I didn't play like that, we might lose by 40 points!"

"Really?" Wright did not put on the authority of the coach and used a strong posture of "what I say is what I say, you idiot, shut up." Instead, he asked Cousins ​​to rest. The two teams that participated in the previous match had a 15-minute rest before playing another game.

It's just that Cousins ​​was replaced.

The black team added rookie Robertson, and Faried and Young, who had previously played the third and fourth positions, became the fourth and fifth positions.

There are still problems with the black team's lineup, but with the active performance of Nash and Lu Wei, although the white team still wins, the point difference is only within single digits.

Moreover, four players from the Black team scored in double figures, and Nash sent 12 assists.

In order to prove his strength, Nash crippled his waist.

After the match was over, he was carried out by the team doctor on a stretcher.

Before leaving, he got up and said to Cousins: "DeMarcus, we played better without you!"

Cousins ​​blushed and retorted: "If you and I had fought as hard as we did just now when we were teammates, we would have won!"

"Boge, whether your teammates are willing to work hard for you is also a manifestation of leadership." Wei Xia said, restraining Cousins ​​who wanted to force a wave of sophistry.

　Although I work very hard, it's just too far away to pay off the debt.
