You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 845 Silence Is The Best Answer Tonight

On Christmas Day 2015, the league was in distress.

There are five super teams in the east and west that are obviously stronger than the other teams. If they are arranged to play in the ring, one of them will definitely be left out and face an opponent who is downgraded.

So, obviously ranked second in the league, but because the team did not have the Spurs, a superstar who made people dance, they were arranged to play the Mavericks in the Texas Civil War.

The Warriors rationed the Thunder;
The 76ers played against the Cavaliers.

It stands to reason that last season's championship and runner-up matchup is the most attractive, but the traffic that the Cavaliers can drive is no less than that of the Warriors.

Wei Xia and James, two diamonds of the 84th generation.

The old king and the new king, and the battle for the top spot in the East.

Currently, both the 76ers and Cavaliers have lost 7 games.

In the Christmas battle, whoever wins will reach the top.

Because there are so many things to watch, the alliance doesn't need to make too much publicity, and it has already attracted worldwide attention.

The venue for the game is the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland, home of the Cavaliers.

The disadvantage of going away to play the Christmas game is that you can't spend the most important holiday of the year with your family, so people who want to go away often spend the holiday with their families one day in advance.

"It's not good for the Cavaliers to meet the 76ers now."

"Yes, although they are not facing the 100ers in 76% state, they are facing Wish in 100% state."

TNT broadcast the game live across the United States.

Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson are the iron trident.

Brin and Van Gundy both talked about the bad side for the Cavaliers, and only Jackson said quite predictably: "From another perspective, Wish's status is so early, which shows that the situation of the 76ers is very critical. In the long run, Wish's hot status is not conducive to the defending champion of the 76ers."

"That's right, Jack, we often say who is a perpetual motion machine, but we all know that there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine in professional leagues, only stable players. We call these people microwave ovens. They are in a hot state as soon as they play. However, it is best for the core players to recover during the All-Star weekend, because the NBA is one of the leagues with the longest schedule in the world."

Breen catered to Jackson, and Van Gundy liked Wescia the most of the gang.

Wei Xia's professionalism and energy invested on the defensive end are what Van Gundy likes to talk about.

Regarding Jackson's remarks, he did not deny its rationality: "That's right, but how can we be sure that this is Wish's peak state?"

The basis for Jackson's judgment is straightforward.

After three years, Wei Xia once again led the scoring list.

Everyone knows that he was a four-time scoring champion. He is like Kobe, as long as he wants to score, no one can stop him.

Coupled with his persistent and tough defense, two years before he won the championship, he was already recognized as the player with the strongest offensive and defensive capabilities in James' peak period.

Isn't the player with the strongest offensive and defensive ability the strongest player in the league?No, because he doesn't have a champion, so he added the concept of "individual offense and defense" to his strongest.

The strongest crown is still on James' head.

The strange thing is that he has won two championships and surpassed James in the number of rings, but he is still regarded as the strongest individual offensive and defensive player.

So who is the strongest?Or James.

Why was James the strongest when Wei Xia didn't win the championship, and James was the strongest when Wei Xia won the championship?This is the benefit of having media coverage.

Wei Xia walked into the Quicken Loans Center to shoot.

Behind them, the Cavaliers are also warming up.

The Big Three are eloquent, all kinds of lobs cooperate, and the 76ers are strict. They never staged a dunk contest in the warm-up session to please the fans who arrived early and waited for the start of the game.

In the early days, Wei Xia would give the fans a few dunks in advance to satisfy the eye addiction, but now he won't.

He wants to be more mature, and how can a mature person think about dunking at a time like this?
Suddenly, behind them, James slammed a classic horizontal pull Tomahawk buckle with a gliding flat basket one step inside the free throw line.

"@%#..."

"Wish, LeBron's dunk is [-] times better than yours!"

Wei Xia wanted to ignore the fans' provocations.

His teammates know him very well. Everyone stopped shooting. They just held the ball in their hands and it was up to him to respond.

"What are you doing? Am I that immature person?"

"You are indeed mature." Rondo said using a wonderful metaphor, "But even if you are 100 years old, if another 100-year-old immortal pulls up his crotch to show that he pees farther than you, don't you want to prove it on the spot?"

Although Rondo's metaphor was vulgar, he convinced Wei Xia.

"In this case, for the curiosity of all of you, for the dignity of the Philadelphia 76ers, for those fans to know who is the better dunker, for my talent, for..." Wei Xia basically showed that he did not want to compete with James, but did not want to disappoint so many people.

He dribbled the ball with one hand, received the ball with one hand, and threw the ball from behind. His body jumped into the air, as if there were eyes on the side of his head. He made a 360-degree mid-air turn in an empty-handed state, catching the ball thrown from behind and hitting the backboard, and dunking hard.

This is a dunk that is hard to describe in words.

Everyone who witnessed the buckle was stunned.

Wei Xia especially looked at the one who claimed that his dunk was not as good as James: "I will not say that I am the best dunker in history, but this action just now should not be worse than any of LeBron's dunks."

"It's too modest. If your slam dunk appeared in the slam dunk contest, it would definitely shock the whole country!"

The rainbow farts of his teammates followed one after another, making Wei Xia feel a little light.

Before the game even started, the Cavaliers on the opposite side took a few extra glances at the 76ers' position.

Another period of time passed, the lights on the scene went out, and the DJ introduced the starting lineup of the 76ers one by one with an extremely loud voice.

In this way, the game has just begun.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup maintained its own identity.

Owen, JR Smith, James, Love, Mozgov.

The 76ers made some minor adjustments to their lineup.

Faried is not in the starting lineup.

Cousins' pick-and-roll problem can't be solved, and the 76ers can't play small balls. Then, Faried's short stature and inability to shoot three-pointers will be fatal.

To that end, Wright removed Faried from the starting roster.

This made Farid and his agent unhappy.

This year is the fifth year of Faried’s career. His agent’s request for a maximum salary was rejected by Hinkie. Although other teams offered good contracts, he refused to accept it.

Fortunately, he was actually taken out of the starting lineup. This is simply a joke with his wallet.

However, Faried left the starting lineup, and Weixia did his best on the offensive end. Against the Rockets a while ago, Weixia blasted Harden, who was fighting wits and courage with the coaching staff, on both ends of the offense and defense.

It is from that game to today that the 76ers are undefeated.

For a player who was removed from the starting lineup due to his own technical defects, if he still creates unrest during the team's winning streak, the management of other teams will have a lower evaluation of him, so Faried has stopped doing things recently.

The 36-year-old veteran Lamar Odom replaced Faried in the starting lineup.

Odom joined the 76ers as the core of the Grizzlies in the past, and has always been a stable substitute. He himself did not complain. After all, he has reached the age.

The team suddenly encountered trouble and asked him to start. Although the veteran who had been on the bench for three years did not provide any unexpected surprises, he was dedicated to his work and abided by his duties throughout the whole process. He was second only to Rondo in passing the ball to Wei Xia.

At the start of the game, Cousins ​​bounced the ball far faster than Mozgov, and there was no suspense about the ownership of the ball.

In the focus of the battle, both sides felt tight at the beginning.

Cousins ​​hit the iron with a low turnaround jumper;

James Tank layup was blocked by the basket;

Odom's classic long pass from the backcourt smashed the referee;

While Owen dribbled coquettishly, he probably messed up his own mind.Everyone saw his ball flying high, and then a Sanbuzhan flew out of bounds.

It was the opportunity given by James. Relying on his own breakthrough, he tried to eat Hayward raw one after another. Unexpectedly, the 76ers secretly set up a trap.

Wexia ambushes on the weak side, James is such a smart player, it is not easy to plot against him.

Wei Xia took the time to death. When he returned from the high position to the inside to help defend, he made sure that he was always facing his back to James, and then suddenly the magic soldier fell from the sky and covered the emperor's hat.

Hayward's defense was too straightforward, but he was also active in the fast break.

Wesha blocked James and got the ball from Odom. The Cavaliers' offense was fancy, but their defense against counterattacks was much worse.

Love's defensive problems were well hidden by his horrific rebounding numbers in Minnesota, but not around James.Affected by Zhan's gravitational force, the offensive end relies on pulling the space outside, and the defensive end actively does not pull the emperor's hind legs, otherwise the millions of imperial troops will want him to look good, but suddenly even James does not chase Wei Xia's counterattack.

He really became the audience with the best position in the audience to watch Wei Xia play James' horizontal tomahawk dunk in front of him.

"How do you think this dunk compares to LeBron?" Wesha asked.

How could Loew ask for trouble?Silence is the best answer tonight.
