You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 789
The 2014-15 season will be the charge season for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Last season, they have already shown the dominance of a championship team.

Moreover, with 71 wins in the regular season and only one loss in the playoffs, it is hard to imagine any team that can stop them when the core players are all young and the main rotation has not lost a large area.

Perhaps, the running-in Big Three of the Cavaliers?
On the first day of preseason training camp, the 76ers found their purpose.

"A lot of people said that we were just lucky to win the championship, because we faced the Spurs who were old and frail."

Jay Wright's words fully ignited the anger of every team member.

Cousins ​​asked even more aggrievedly: "Why did no one say they forced the Heat into the tiebreaker last year?"

Why no one said?This is a question that is difficult to answer.

Wright has no willingness to answer at all. He hopes that players will have questions and maintain full energy and enthusiasm to deal with the new season.

The 76ers' preseason training camp started in an atmosphere where they had to prove themselves again.

Except for a few people such as Nash who retired and left the team, the 76ers' championship framework is still fixed.

The framework of Rondo, Wesha, Hayward, Faried, and Cousins' main five is still there.

The four main rotations of Hollins, Odom, Holiday, and Robertson have all stayed.

Vince Carter, Tayshaun Prince, Glenn Robinson III and second-round pick Jerami Grant acquired through trade were also introduced.

Grant was born into a basketball family. His father is former NBA player Harvey Grant PF and his uncle is Horace Grant, a member of the Bulls Dynasty. His older brother Jerian Grant PG entered the NBA the year after Jeremy was drafted.

From the perspective of size and style of play, Grant fits Jay Wright's aesthetics very well.

His 203 cm swing forward can be integrated into the 41 system as long as he grows up smoothly.

Looking at it this way, the 76ers in the new season have not weakened, but the lineup has become stronger than last season.

On the first day of the training camp, Wright, like last season, let the players focus on small exercises.

Two hours of individual training, no confrontation, everyone just played heads-up when they were bored.

Cousins ​​is invincible in this kind of game.

With his size and skills, and his ability to hold the ball across the half court in actual combat, bullfighting is a natural dislocation machine.

Wei Xia waited and watched for a long time and found that Cousins' state was maintained quite well.

This is a good thing, which shows that there is no slack after the World Championships.

Wei Xia is not interested in the games of these "young people".

Watching Duncan's game video some time ago gave him a new perspective on the future.

Talented players are always eager to give 100% of their talent.

But when I think about it carefully, Michael Jordan is also similar to Duncan. The difference is that Jordan was rampant when he was young. After 1988, he began to have the kind of play that lifts weight as lightly as possible.Fans rarely see him break and jump at full speed anymore.

When you can solve your opponent with only 70% of your talents each time, you can naturally fight against the old man of time.

Wei Xia wanted to make his game easier, so he decided to review a large number of Bulls second dynasty game videos in the future.

At that time, Jordan's explosive power and athletic ability were no longer comparable to himself in the late 80s and early 90s.

But he still won a double first team, 2 MVPs, 3 FMVPs, three consecutive championships, and three scoring champions in those three years.

Good guy, he has won more honors in three years than Wei Xia has won in the past nine years.

In order not to waste his efforts, Wei Xia called a sparring partner.

When Nash was there last year, he often took Andre Robertson to practice together.Now that Nash is retired, Roberson looks a bit lost.

Wei Xia called him to his side, "Can you have a confrontation with me similar to the one I had with Kawhi Leonard before?"

Robertson also participated in Wei Xia's special training camp.

Robertson was flattered, he didn't expect that he had qualified as a sparring partner.

At that time, there was no opinion, so I nodded vigorously: "I will do my best!"

"Relax, it's just practice." Wei Xia said it was practice. In the next half an hour, every goal scored from Robertson's head was almost never repeated twice in a row.

Robertson's defense will probably fail more than a dozen times in a row before he can really see through Wei Xia's offense, and then defend with his famous physical fitness.

He noticed that Wei Xia didn't seem to be able to jump high now.

In the past, when he watched Wei Xia's shooting, he lamented the wonderful movements and was surprised that he had such a high talent.

The argument that talent and skill cannot be combined is not valid for a player like Wei Xia.

Wei Xia's footsteps were as clean as an experienced cleaner.

As a result of year after year of work, they get into the habit of disposing of the most trash in the shortest steps possible.Wei Xia's short footsteps destroyed Robertson's garbage defense.

For more than 40 minutes of matchup, Wei Xia verbally said that it was just practice, and he didn't let the old-hearted second-year on both ends of the offense and defense.

During this period, Robertson's mentality was repeatedly blown.

Wei Xia will properly point out where he did not do well, and said that he often made such mistakes back then.

He'd do a move that Roberson couldn't have imagined, sway past the defense, and then gently put the ball in the basket.

"Kobe used this trick a lot. The trick is in the position of my pivot foot. Andre, you care too much about the ball."

Wei Xia's advice is useful. After practicing with Nash for a year in Robertson's various offensive skills, only his shooting has improved, and the others are not very good.On the defensive side, Robertson is much stronger today than he was in his rookie season.

The end goal of this bullfight was Weixia's free throw line skyhook.

Wei Xia suddenly changed direction, backtracked, turned sideways, and jumped up lightly.

Obviously the jump is not high, but Robertson just can't cover it.

The beauty of the sky hook has been fully grasped by Wei Xia, and he developed the free throw line sky hook and the high post sky hook by taking advantage of the convenience that the guard players feel softer than the inside line.

"Shh!"

Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar once hit the skyhook at a farther position, it was absolutely impossible for him at that time to regard the skyhook at this range as a regular attack distance.

Because he can choose to be closer to the basket.

Wei Xia is different from him, he is not an insider, and the era is different.In Wei Xia's era, the space was widened, the basket was open, and the intensity of confrontation was limited by the rules. It was not as barbaric as before, so the sky hook became a stunt that was difficult to guard against.

This may be something Kareem Abdul-Jabbar could not have imagined.

It's the same Skyhook, but the distance is longer, but the power is still the same.

Robertson looked at the free throw line and hit the skyhook. He didn't even wake up from the shock. The cheers around him had filled the court.

"Holy Wish!" Carter shook his head and sighed, "What kind of fairy move is that!"

Prince even gave Wei Xia a very useful compliment: "You have surpassed Kobe back then!"

"Thank you!" Wei Xia smiled modestly, "But let's wait until my number of championships equals or surpasses Kobe, then let's talk about it."

He said to himself: "Five rings are greater than two rings."

"Wish, don't you have three things!!!" Carter was ignorant when he first arrived, and was covered by someone just as he was about to pull out Wei Xia's reverse scales.

Moreover, the man who did it was Gordon Hayward, who never seemed to do it.

After Wei Xia walked away, Hayward apologized to Carter and reiterated on his behalf: "The whole world knows that Wish only has two rings, Vince, why don't you know?"

Carter was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.

Although Wei Xia's official honor record will always have a place for the 2008-09 season championship, he, his fans, his friends, and everyone who values ​​​​and values ​​​​him will not recognize that ring.Not because they are as proud as Wei Xia, but because Wei Xia himself does not recognize the ring.

How much does Wei Xia hate that ring?
After he joined the 76ers that year, he went to the Staples Center to play, and the Lakers awarded him the ring amidst the cheers of the audience.He scored 36 points in that game and then gave the ring to his brother.

Ever since he was a child, Wei Xia had given his brother four extraordinary things.

Expired snacks, houses in LA, bitcoins, rings.

During the 40-minute bullfight, Wei Xia's body began to move.

In fact, he wasn't too tired. Although Robertson was very tired, for Wei Xia, that kind of intensity didn't even consume a quarter of the game.

Because he didn't exert force all the way, just like he learned in the Jordan game tape.

Use the strength of your legs to perceive the opponent's pace, use your back to put pressure on the opponent, and cooperate with the movement. Any body movement may make the opponent make a wrong judgment.

As long as you shake people away, does the height of the jumper matter?
If Robertson knew the truth, he might be desperate, and his dream of playing the main force would be shattered.

Fortunately, Wei Xia not only has self-knowledge, but also knows people. He didn't tell the truth, but taught him patiently like Nash.

As soon as the bullfight was over, Wei Xia entered the gym to work out.

Round after round.

In the new season, he plans to defend his title.

Winning the championship is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a three-part series that has taken the world by storm.

He wanted their trilogy to be as great as "Lord of the Rings," and again, "The Godfather."

What motivates him?

What did the Bass family question him in the first place?Questioning that he can't become a superstar, questioning that he can't be the face of the Lakers, and even questioning that he is not a player at the level of Kobe/Shark/Magician/Skyhook.Although the latter two failed to achieve three consecutive championships, in the 80 years of the 10s, they entered the finals 7 times and won 5 championships, which is no less than a period of three consecutive championships.

If Weixia can become a player at the President's Hill level in the future, then the Hall of Fame should also reward the Bass family for their different incentives.

At that time, he will definitely shout out the words that have appeared in his heart countless times: "Damn Bass family, repent for me!"
