Chapter 682 Bear boy, be obedient!
"Wish, what is the most important thing for you this year?"

On media day, many reporters circled Wei Xia.

After all, he is the only player on this team with traffic.

Maybe some reporters will pester Nash to ask him about his role in the new season for the sake of feelings, but most reporters have to look forward for their own jobs.

"The most important thing? Boge's growth." Wei Xia said, "The second most important thing is to change your hairstyle."

In the old days, Weisha called Maravich's long hair, which is common in modern times, a strange hairstyle.In fact, he himself is not.He never knew how to take care of himself, and only shaved his hair when it grew unbearably, so many people ridiculed him as a tasteless bumpkin.

He didn't care at first, but when these reports frequently entered his life, making his father and mother think that Wei Xia was really sloppy, he couldn't bear it anymore.

On the other hand, Jay Wright has also received a lot of attention.

The college coaches who moved from the NCAA to the NBA are synonymous with bad luck and ruin.

These talented and self-respecting academics always look down on some things in the business league, and they also look down on those muddy legs who dare to put on a suit and stand on the sidelines to direct Fang Qiu just after playing under multiple coaches to pick and choose their own system without special training.

Only, Wright doesn't have those problems.

"I'm an experienced coach, but in the professional league, I'm just a rookie. I'm no different from the rookies who entered the league this year."

"Wish is the best player in the league in my opinion."

"When you're coaching the best player in the league, the championship should be the only goal in your eyes."

A reporter familiar with Wright asked: "Will you move Villanova's four-back system to the NBA?"

"NONONO!" Wright shook his head with a smile. "Countless cases tell us that the tactical system that can be successful in the NCAA is unacceptable in the NBA. I am proud of my past achievements, but this is a new chapter in my life. I decided to look forward and let the past pass."

At the media conference, the 76ers showed a brand new look to the outside world.

Any reporter who came to the 76ers' media day for an interview had a feeling.

The 76ers are positive and energetic. There is a 29-year-old core player. Cousins ​​and Hayward have also grown rapidly in the past four years. At a glance, there are many capable players in the team.

What the media saw was exactly what the Sixers wanted them to see.

The 76ers themselves are not without problems, they are just good at hiding their problems.

After the media day ended, there were some more articles optimistic about the 76ers on major platforms.

Many media outlets called them potential dynasty terminators after going back.

They played six games with the Heat last year, and a summer of training will allow them to make greater progress.

Before the end of the media day, the 76ers' training camp continued.

Daily personal training, exchange of results-style confrontation.

Cousins ​​led the black team to be tortured and killed daily. Although he was regarded as Moses Malone belonging to Weixia, he had already shown the cancerous attributes of a weak team in the team match.

He is very strong, but he can't lead his teammates, he can only strengthen himself, and his influence can't radiate to the whole audience.

Compared with the "Prophet" who brought a mediocre Rockets team to annihilate the Lakers in the past, there is more than one level of gap.

Cousins ​​knows everything, but he doesn't know how to combine these things he knows into an appropriate system.

The problem of wanting to play a one-stop counterattack after grabbing the defensive rebound has never been changed, and it is getting worse.

Finally, Wei Xia decided to talk to him.

Wei Xia's words made Cousins ​​deeply aware of his mistakes, but he didn't know how to correct them.

"Is the first thing in your eyes to get a defensive rebound is to counterattack with the ball?" Wei Xia asked angrily.

Cousins ​​asked: "Isn't it? Counterattacking the defender and counterattacking me are both counterattacks? Moreover, if I counterattack with the ball, when I rush to the frontcourt, I can use my size advantage to rampage like LeBron."

When Cousins ​​was a student, many people said that he was not good at studying because he was impatient.

Wei Xia felt more and more that the school itself was impatient.They don't have the patience to discover from an impatient child that he has many advantages besides the disadvantage of being impatient.There are many advantages of Cousins. Ummm. For example, isn’t his debating ability born for the debate team?

What a good boy, why did he give birth to such a big physique, wouldn't it be good to go to the debate team to be a fierce opponent?Do you have to play basketball to piss me off?

Cousins ​​heard Wei Xia make a muffled bark similar to the anger of a wild dog.

"Wish, what's wrong with you?" Cousins ​​asked.

Tolerate him. Well, continue to tolerate him.
He called Hayward, took a ball and handed it to him: "God, throw a basket ball, don't make it, and immediately make a fast break after the shot."

"Now?"

"Yes."

"Play fast break like a game?"

"Correct."

Ask what should be asked clearly, and don't ask what should not be asked. Hayward made a move and hit the iron.

Wesha jumped up in front of Cousins ​​to grab the rebound, but kept the ball above his head with both hands, turned and threw it hard over his head.

Hayward, who had already run halfway through, caught the pass, and instead of going forward, he came back under Wei Xia's instructions.

"With such cooperation, isn't it faster and less labor-intensive than your own counterattack with the ball?"

"I know what you want to say, God doesn't have your size advantage, but what is the most important thing in counterattack?"

"What!?"

Wei Xia was obviously asking a question, but the terrible aura made Cousins ​​dumb. He couldn't say a word, so he dared to ask in a low voice, "What is it?"

"Three points, the counterattack is to take advantage of the opponent's defensive formation to score quickly; the counterattack is to improve the rhythm of the game, so the important thing is to be fast, not steady; the counterattack is to create opportunities to play more and less. If you grab a defensive rebound every time and don't care about others dribbling, how fast can you be? You are definitely not as fast as a defender, and you can't improve the rhythm of the game. Yes, "Although you can use your size to maintain an efficient counterattack, it slows down the rhythm virtually, allowing others to follow you to do unnecessary back and forth. The ball is always in your hands. If we can't play tactics, the rhythm will be mastered by the opponent sooner or later."

"if."

Hayward saw Wei Xia's gesture and made another move.

Hitting the iron, Wei Xia grabbed the defensive rebound and made another classic long pass with both hands.

"If you can do this, I'm sure we will be the team with the highest counterattack efficiency in the league." Wei Xia released his high hopes for Cousins, "Can you do it?"

Cousins ​​is not stupid. Wei Xia demonstrated it several times, and he saw it clearly: "Is this a way to train two-handed long passes?"

"Yes."

"Looks really good, who came up with that?"

"Wes Unseld."

"Who?"

It's understandable that Cousins ​​didn't know Unseld. If he didn't have the experience of the old time, Wei Xia wouldn't know him either.

When Versia played against Unseld in the arena, he watched him train his passing accuracy in this way.He may be the best player in history with two-handed long passes.

Larry Bird's one-handed long pass looks freehand and chic, but not many people can grasp the scale well.

In contrast, a two-handed long pass over the head is more stable and the ball is faster.

And Unseld is the patriarch of this way. In the era when there were many supporters, he grabbed the backboard and threw the famous "bullet pass", which was the nightmare of many teams.

He was grabbing the offensive rebounds, but suddenly Unseld grabbed the rebound and flicked it. "Pearl" Monroe had already gone to the frontcourt.If you are lucky, you can entangle Monroe, but in the end, you will basically be turned around and layup by his emergency stop.

Cousins ​​is not unteachable curmudgeon.

Wei Xia had a good talk with him, and then, from that day on, after every training session, Cousins ​​would ask Hayward and rookie Robertson to practice long passes together.

The training session is basically, Hayward shoots, Robertson makes a quick pass, and Cousins ​​grabs a rebound and makes a long pass.

The most painful is of course Robertson, but it is also his "blessing" to be favored by the big guys in the team.

Wright didn't know what kind of magic Weixia cast, but from that day on, Cousins ​​​​never played a center forward with the ball to counterattack.

He suddenly stopped making waves, which made the match a little less fun.

After training camp, the 76ers returned to Philadelphia, and Wright gave everyone a day and a half off.

The holiday is over, there is the preseason, and then the regular season, the competition is tight, and there is not much idle time.

Wei Xia did not forget what he said at the media day.

To change a hairstyle.

But instead of going to the barbershop, it's at home.

His wife, Elaine Trovis, whose newest hobby was washing, cutting and blowing, suddenly had Wescha to practice with, and she couldn't ask for more.

Wei Xia pointed to the poster of Beckham. In the poster, Beckham had a wild head. Elaine didn't expect to be so big when he came up, and said awkwardly: "This hairstyle may not suit you."

Wei Xia immediately made a decision that he regretted for several months: "It's okay, let's do it."
