Chapter 175 What is courage
"I hope all of you don't want to be this blind man without courage!"
As soon as Phil Jackson finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.
Vaughan Weaver looked at Wei Xia with regret. He wanted to say something and wrote on his face: I'm very sorry, brother.
Andrew Bynum really hopes that Jackson will criticize him in the conference room one day. As for now, he hopes that Weisha can survive, just like before.
Kobe didn't watch anyone and silencedly digest the content in the video.
Odom's eyes were circling around, and no matter who was asked to be guilty, he was fine.
Tex Winter stood by and glanced at everyone, and Weisha was his focus. He knew Jackson was going to sue today because Jim Bass was talking too much again.
Whether Wei Xia was instructed or not, Jackson would not allow anyone to point fingers at his troops.
Wei Xia is so unlucky.
He is a little Buss, but he wants to play ball under the Zen master. He is still a straightforward person. He does whatever he deserves. He seems to be treated unfairly and does not know how to slap the table to oppose it.
He will not have a full-scale confrontation with Jackson like Kobe in the 99-04 period.
But today, he was so unfair.
He just played the best game of his rookie season yesterday, and then he was about to be criticized in front of the whole team by the Zen master.
"I'm not lacking in courage," Weisha said surprisingly. "I don't think Lieutenant Colonel Slade lacks courage."
"Yeah?"
Jackson's tone was full of questions, "Why did you know Kobe didn't feel the touch, but he still passed the ball to him at the beginning of the second half?"
Wei Xia answered truthfully: "Because he is our leader."
"Yes, he is the leader." The Zen master asked sternly, "So, why don't you spread it again? Why do you want him to go to the bottom corner? Why don't you suddenly treat him as your leader?"
Wei Xia still answered according to the actual situation: "Because he failed to make a lot of shots."
Kobe sat speechlessly, and he didn't seem to intend to make any comments about the trial that had nothing to do with him, and originated from him.
"Because he couldn't make a lot of shots, you don't believe him? Because he couldn't make a lot of shots, you no longer think that he was the leader of the team?" The Zen master's questions were more meaner than the other. What's funny is that at the gym the night before, Wei Xia and Kobe had a serious argument over the issue.
So, Wei Xia simply responded to the Zen master with the saying of dealing with Kobe: "Because I believe in him, I know that even if I don't pass the ball, he will take the initiative to leave the low post. He did not let me down, and the trust of others, he is not only our leader, but also an extremely excellent leader."
"I don't need you to compliment me." Kobe spoke.
Kobe's words eased the atmosphere on the scene.
This may be the first time in Kobe's life that he has successfully eased the tension, and he usually only makes the atmosphere tighter than before.
The Zen master who is fully prepared will not be easily left out by Wei Xia.
"No, your explanation is illogical, wish, you said you didn't let Kobe catch the ball at the low post because he couldn't make a lot of shots, but he didn't start in the second half. The exact situation is that he had no touch since the first quarter, and he was not sure, but you still decided to give the ball to him in the second half." The Zen master's fangs suddenly appeared. "This is why I want you to watch the blind man drive, because you are condoning him committing crimes! This is why I want you to see his speech, because you didn't continue to support him when you should support him!"
Kobe was flattered. According to the situation at that time, if there were really defenders in the Lakers doing that - don't give him the ball. At the analysis meeting the next day, the Zen Master would definitely reward the Warrior who dared to be the first in the team as encouragement.
And now, the Zen master is so fierce that Wei Xia doesn't give him the ball.
Is this true? Kobe's touch lasted for less than 10 seconds. Past experience told him that Zen master likes to create cracks in the team. He does not need to be close to the players, he is the one who controls everything. In his eyes, Wei Xia is a newcomer who needs to be beaten. Last night's game was just an excuse for him to beat Wei Xia.
Will he surrender? Kobe looked at Wei Xia.
Until now, no matter how difficult the Zen master makes him difficult, he has nothing to say.
Today he took the initiative to explain what he did yesterday. He shouldn't be criticized by Zen master today. He just played his best performance since the start of the rookie season. Is he going to criticize him for nothing because of a few passes?
Lack of courage?
OK, let me show you my courage!
"In the second half, I still decided to give priority to passing the ball to Kobe because he is the most courageous player of the Lakers." Wei Xia did not remain silent and did not let Zen master scold him. He responded, "I am a Philadelphia like him, but you all saw it the day before yesterday. Philadelphia did not welcome him. He was under tremendous pressure and faced countless challenges and curses. The heavy burdens that should not have fallen on him made it difficult for him to breathe. What can I do? I am his teammate, and of course I have to support him!"
"He was not accurate in the first half, but at the beginning of the second half, we had already rested for fifteen minutes. I think his touch could still recover, so I passed the ball to him. Unfortunately, he was overwhelmed by the pressure of his hometown people. He didn't make any shots at the low post and continued to let him attack at the low post. We would be beaten by the 76ers and the game would end in failure! What can I do? Coach, what do you want me to do?"
The Zen master shouted, "I hope you support him!"
"Yes, I'm just supporting him!" Wei Xia's tone also intensified, "I asked him to go to the bottom corner, just supporting him! I kept him away from the center of the storm, I let him find his feel outside the three-point line, and finally he also found himself through the outside shot and led us to defeat the 76ers! I think this is support, this is the embodiment of courage. Going to the black road is not bravery, it is stupid!"
Wei Xia was the only person standing in the audience except Jackson Speech Winter.
"No matter how you characterize this matter, I can't admit my mistakes about it." Wei Xia challenged Jackson in front of the whole team. When he sat down, the scene was dead and quiet, and the heartbeats of each other could almost be heard.
Phil Jackson's face is no longer described in words.
He may be in a rage, may be relieved, or may be shocked.
Tex Winter believes Jackson was stunned by Weisha's sudden counterattack.
The good dog, who never bites people, suddenly bit him back, and he was indeed shocked.
"This is the atmosphere that the review meeting should have!" Jackson said in silence for a long time, "This is what I hope to see!"
Huimo, the Zen master's powerlessness depends entirely on his reason for criticizing Wei Xia, and it is untenable.
The energy that Wei Xia had accumulated for a long time suddenly burst out, and he could not continue to put pressure on this matter, so he had to give up.
Is this the atmosphere that the review meeting should have? Is this what he wants to see?
Anyone who knows Zen master will shake his head.
After the review meeting, Wei Xia was the first to go out.
The players followed one after another.
Jackson asked the analyst to put the video away and looked back at Winter.
"Young and energetic, you have to understand." Winter smiled.
Suddenly, the Zen master's tense face smiled.
"Of course I understand. If it were me, I wouldn't let it go." The Zen master's smile was not from the bottom of his heart. "The future is still long. I really enjoyed the time of coaching wish, and I hope he will do the same."
Why do humans always repeat the same tragedy? Winter is speechless.
The Zen master was his most friendship for many years. Without his triangular offensive system, the former could not achieve so much success. Therefore, he would go wherever the Zen master went.
But this time, he was not on the side of the Zen master.
Everyone knows that Wei Xia is Little Buss, and Wei Xia's position is not something he can decide. As Jenny's boyfriend, Zen master is destined to be unable to match Little Buss. The rookies led by Wei Xia are the direct descendants of Little Buss. These people are the primary targets of Zen masters.
Wei Xia is so special.
He is not only the Lakers with the highest draft pick in recent years, but also a plug-and-play all-rounder with instant combat power. Jackson doesn't want to use him.
Since you have to use him, you can't let him have too much influence, so you can only use it while knocking, and don't even play the main force for him.
Wei Xia's speed to adapt to the NBA was far beyond expectations. After seven games, she firmly took the sixth position. The controversy over whether he wanted to play the starting lineup will continue until the day when he entered the starting lineup.
How long can Jackson last?
In order not to make Wei Xia proud, the Zen master frequently suppressed Wei Xia and asked him to make a call against players who were not good at dealing with them. Fortunately, he criticized him in daily review meetings/symposiums. All things have only one goal, allowing Wei Xia to fade out of the core level.
He will play the starting lineup sooner or later, everyone knows this.
But not now, definitely not now.
Before today, Wei Xia was very docile. No matter what the Zen master said, he had nothing to say.
It is precisely because of this that the Zen Master chose such an unconvincing excuse today. Unexpectedly, he suddenly opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth, almost warning the Zen Master: Don’t force me into a hurry!
Today's Wei Xia is just like Kobe in the past.
Kobe and Zen Master were at odds at that time, and there was no off-site conflict.
At that time, the Zen master was just an outsider. As soon as he came, he wanted the Lakers to trade Kobe to exchange for a mature superstar like Kidd and a Shark partner to compete for the championship. Later, Kobe often jumped out of the system and fought with the Sharks for power. The Zen master who was already in the Sharks took advantage of the situation and started a five-year battle with Kobe.
Today, Zen masters could have lived in harmony with Wei Xia, but were affected by external factors, which made them both sides of the opposition.
But these two people will work together during the game again.
