You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 801 He Reminds Me Of Wilkins
The 76ers ate the black opener in February.

They have four more games to play before the All-Star break.

One of them was against the Lakers.

The Lakers have been trying to trade Marc Gasol recently.

As one of the remnants of the second dynasty of the Lakers, he is still young and has the strength of the best team. Although he has a little bit of the light of the giant's withering, it is not ordinary people who can be selected into the best team.

The Lakers' peddling of Marc Gasol means a lot.

As we all know, the Lakers are already Jim Buss' team.And Gasol Jr. is the talented talent in the draft department that Bath Jr. is most proud of.

After Kobe's Achilles tendon exploded, the Lakers declined and completely lost their competitiveness in the 10s.

After his comeback, Kobe lost even half of his level before the injury. Out of market considerations, the Lakers renewed his contract until the summer of 2016.

Kobe is dead, what should the Lakers do?Nature is rebuilding.

But how big a sign is the Lakers?They can't go too far like some teams. If they want to play badly, they have to make an attitude of "trying their best, but they can't beat".

How to do it?

Deprive Gasol of the ball, let Jabari Parker let go, and "out of respect for Kobe", give Kobe unlimited shooting rights.

If it's Kobe at his peak, he can shoot whatever he wants.

But now Kobe is too good to even start, and he is given unlimited firepower. Isn't that waiting to lose?

At least, Bryant maintained the scenery on the books.

He and Parker both averaged 20+ per game.

But one shot 40%, the other 42%. Gasol's assists per game dropped to a new low since his rookie season, and his rebounds, especially offensive rebounds, set a new career high.

Abnormal lineup, abnormal play style, the Lakers tried their best, and they still played very hard on the surface.

Playing against the Lakers again, Wei Xia started a bit hard.

You can't blame him, you have to blame the Spurs.

The Spurs won them, and they didn't want to suffer a losing streak, so they naturally focused on the Lakers.First of all, we must ensure that we win. As long as the Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni is sensible and makes some formalistic surrender earlier, they will not play too badly.

It's a pity that old coaches like D'Antoni often have some unclear pride.

Facing his old club, Wei Xia scored 40 points in three quarters, 49 points and 10 rebounds in the game, and his shooting percentage exceeded 60%.

Michael Thompson said with mixed feelings: "This is Kobe in 2006."

"Obviously, Kobe in 2006 is nothing more than that in this era. The better Wish is, the more sad we are, because we missed the best Kobe successor."

Lakers fans definitely have reason to cry, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to miss the cornerstone of the next generation.

That night, Bass Jr. was also present.

He deliberately accepted the reporter's off-site interview, congratulated Wei Xia on his performance, and said cryptically: "We knew it was a mistake a long time ago, but our system does not pursue all the faults of the predecessor, just like the president has administrative immunity."

Little Bass just said clearly: "It has nothing to do with me, if you want to scold me, you can scold my sister and my father."

After the game, Wei Xia also accepted Kobe's invitation to have a supper.

When they met off the court, they each lamented their own experiences.

Wei Xia can see the powerlessness on Kobe's face. Aging is normal. Everyone is getting old, and no one can stay young forever.

Kobe is no longer young.

37 years old, this age is put on any athlete, it is the age to consider retiring.

"If you knew there would be today, would you still have worked so hard at that time?" Wei Xia asked Kobe.

Kobe knew what he was asking.

In the first round of the 2013 playoffs, when the Lakers played against the Thunder, Kobe broke his Achilles tendon.

Many people think that is an unnecessary game.

Because the Lakers are not the Thunder's opponent in any way, and Kobe had a hidden danger before the Achilles tendon exploded.

He was injured twice, and although they were both minor injuries, they were undoubtedly warnings from his body.

All people with Achilles tendon problems, without exception, have ignored the alarms from the body.

"Although you know every skill of mine, unfortunately, you don't know me as well as you think." Kobe said arrogantly.

Wei Xia didn't think it was a joy to understand Kobe's behavior at all.

Because Kobe himself is not a normal person.

Isn't it normal for a normal person like him not to understand abnormal people?
"I remember you said you wanted to meet me in the final, but unfortunately, we didn't make it to the final that year." Wei Xia still remembers it clearly.

Kobe snorted softly, "You're not stupid enough to take that seriously, are you? I'm just kidding. Do you think I'll think you guys could beat Miami that year? How is it possible?"

The truth hurts, but it's better than prevaricating with lies.

Moreover, Wei Xia is not completely powerless to fight back: "You are right, it seems that I have never expected you."

The debate between Wei Xia and Kobe started from mutual dissatisfaction at the beginning, and then it was a big reward of mutual distrust.

They didn't decide the winner. All Wei Xia knew was that Kobe had other ideas at the time.

What is the specific idea, why is it that you don't even care about your own health?

Moreover, from his tone, it seems that he doesn't regret the peak period that ended early.

Wei Xia believes that if there is no Achilles tendon injury, Kobe will be in the top 20 in the league until today.

Instead of being like now, in Kohei's eyes, he doesn't even have the strength of the top 200 in the league.

But this year's All-Star will surely make many Kohei scream unfair.

Kobe, who has become such a virtue, was still selected for the All-Star Weekend.

Some people lamented: "Averaging 21 points per game and shooting 40% from the field, Kobe is undoubtedly the worst All-Star starter in history, right?"

Wei Xia didn't pay attention to these little things.

There are still two games to go on holiday, and he and his teammates are eager to win these two games.

When facing the Timberwolves, Wiggins broke out.

Wei Xia knows that Wiggins can fly and walk well, but his upper body is thin, his shooting range is not beyond the NBA three-point line, and his center of gravity is too high when dribbling. Various scouts will also complain that his off-ball movement is not active enough, and he likes to shoot long shots that he is not good at. He is unwilling to use his physical talent and beast-like athletic ability to attack the basket.

All his faults can be summed up in one sentence: the talent is too good.

Talent is too good, so I am used to solving problems in the simplest way.

It's a bit similar to air-conditioning disease, and the NBA version of Shui Buying.The former is a disease of wealth developed by excellent living conditions, while the latter is praised by countless movie fans because of her amazing physical talent. Although she has no acting skills and can be as lazy as a dead fish when fighting hard-working opponents, as long as she is willing to dedicate one day to art, she will not be unemployed for a day.

Therefore, Wiggins is undoubtedly the NBA version of Shui Buying. He has no range and can't be an open hand, and his offensive power with the ball generally can't be the chief ball-handler.The draft template says he is Rudy Gay + Vince Carter, but everyone knows that in the NBA, Spider-Man who is similar in size and can fly and walk is likely to become a 3D player in the end-shooting three-pointers and fighting defense, and occasionally stealing points with a fast break.

Moreover, weak teams usually don’t have an offensive system, which is thankless. If you don’t, it’s a chaotic game. Winning is all about personal ability, and losing is all for granted.

Therefore, potential rookies often need to grow and eat by themselves to get ahead.Therefore, rookies with poor ball-handling skills have to wait for the second and third grades to get through slowly. For example, Paul George, McGrady, Stackhouse, Glenn Robinson and Klay Thompson all have this process.

This is the situation of Wiggins at the beginning of the season. Then in December, in order for Wiggins to grow up healthily, the Timberwolves gave away, left, and injured, and Wiggins was "forced" to take charge.

Today, Wiggins scored 30 points against Wei Xia and Hayward.

Basically, there are three routines.

He made open three-pointers that he usually couldn't make, made full use of his body to score points during the counterattack, and made jumpers with the ball on the left and right wings.

With these three tricks, they went well and scored 30 points, a masterpiece, but the Timberwolves were slaughtered by the 76ers for 22 points, which is not very good.

After the game, the Timberwolves' media insisted on Wei Shakua Wiggins.

Wei Xia was forced to have no choice but to boast a few words: "He reminds me of Dominique Wilkins."

Actually?Hey, he hasn't seen a single Wilkins game.

　Recently, because our operating officer, Yong Ai, helped me to review the manuscript for the second time, so the update time will be a little later.
