Chapter 618: Return to Angel City
The hardest game the 76ers played before the All-Star Weekend arrived was the game against the Spurs.
They played a game, which was a particularly difficult game in 2011.
Low score, high confrontation.
In the final result, 79-72,76ers won.
Their winning code is that Tim Duncan made 7 of 18 shots, only 2 free throws; Tony Parker made 3 of 12 shots, 4 free throws; Manu Ginobili made 3 of 10 shots, 6 free throws; the key is coming - Richard Jefferson made 1 of 10 shots, 0 free throws.
There will be countless examples in the future that your shooting percentage can be low, but your free throws must not be missing.
If you shoot inefficiently and have no free throws, you will naturally be unable to escape the end of the cancer. How good is the free throw, it can not only give yourself and your teammates a rest time, but also allow your fans to show their "real hit rate" openly when fighting with other fans. If the opponent's real hit rate is not as good as you, then the opponent's ball quotient is low and he does not know how to use the rules reasonably, and he is so spicy.
To add, according to this comparison, it is not OK if Jordan comes.
Compared with the Spurs, there are really more than 76ers.
Whoever feels better will give it to whom, always give it to him.
Weisha and Holiday were the winners of the night.
They took charge of 52 points in the total score of 79 points in the team.
Strictly speaking, Cousins is also one of the winners and losers. He was not provoked by Duncan, and he restrained his impatient temperament from beginning to end, leaving the Spurs open pockets to cover their prey.
If the prey does not step in, the trap will lose its value.
The victory over the Spurs avoided the potential crisis of losing streak of the 76ers. In the five games before the All-Star Weekend, they lost only one game, with four wins in five games, and only two games behind the Magic's victory.
Then, they can relax a little.
This year's All-Star Weekend is definitely an unusual session for Wei Xia.
This is the 60th All-Star Weekend in NBA history. It is located at the Staples Center, the shared home court between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers.
Before the game started, Kobe had already admitted: "This is my last All-Star Game in front of these (Los Angeles) fans."
It sounds like he is going to retire, but in fact, you will know what he is referring to after a little brain teaser.
That was his last All-Star Weekend in front of Los Angeles fans.
Indeed, even if he plays until he is 40, he may not be able to wait for the next All-Star Weekend held in Los Angeles.
For the world, this is not Kobe's last All-Star Weekend, but the All-Star Weekend of his era may end completely this year. Griffin will sooner or later become the king of Los Angeles, just like when Kobe came to Angel City 15 years ago, it is even stronger than Kobe in 1996; James will definitely replace Kobe as the leader of the next NBA star. Whether the fans like it or not, James' ability is unquestionable; Durant and Howard will lead American basketball to continue to gallop in the world, and Kobe will pay attention to their performances in the audience; Miami or Chicago will dominate the future NBA, and the Lakers will give up the throne of the king.
What about Wei Xia, how does he feel?
Back in Los Angeles, a place he once fought for for three years.
When the plane landed, the media that received the news in advance were already waiting outside the airport.
Weisha, Cousins, Hayward, and Luway walked outside together, and the microphones came towards him one after another.
The reporter has many questions that need to be answered by the players, but Wei Xia can reveal few things.
Only one reporter broke Wei Xia's defense.
"Do you think you can get your third individual championship ring this season?"
Wei Xia’s answer is extreme: “I only have one ring.”
The reporter was dead there.
Among the official statistics honors, Wei Xia has two championships.
However, in the 2008-09 season, he did not play for the Lakers for a minute, but just because he was a member of the team, so he won the championship.
After that season, he was offered a high price by the 76ers, but the Lakers withdrew the offer and sent it away without asking for any reward.
It seems that the Lakers have given him a big contract.
However, even if a player like him wants to give up, he should see if he is really worthless. The Lakers are too lazy to even take that step, withdrawing the offer, which is not matched, and the 76ers make money.
It should be said that thanks to the Lakers, Wei Xia was able to get seven figures of dollars each season after the end of her rookie season.
But Wei Xia couldn't be happy, it was a potential betrayal and a clear obscene.
The Lakers are not optimistic about Wei Xia's recovery speed, do not think that he can support the Purple and Gold Legion after Kobe grows old, do not think that he is qualified to lead this team like the master of Angel City of all generations.
If Wei Xia did not achieve anything in the Lakers, he might just work hard to prove himself and would not hold a grudge against the Lakers.
But at that time, he won the FMVP, which changed the Lakers' long-standing aristocratic culture and injected the team with green blood to dare to fight. That was something that only their arch-rival Celtics had.
He has achieved something in the Lakers. He is one of the most valuable players in the history of the Lakers. However, the Lakers management has inaction told the world that this person is not qualified to inherit Kobe's mantle, so we decided to choose another person.
Now, Wei Xia has entered the top five in the regular season MVP simulation many times and is about to be selected into the best team for two consecutive years. The Lakers' operations in the summer of 2010 will be scored into the pillar of shame.
Is this enough?
No, Wei Xia doesn't think so.
After answering the reporter's question, Wei Xia took Cousins and others out of the airport.
His brother Wei Qiu arranged a special car for them.
Wei Qiu had not returned to Philadelphia with Wei Xia before and had been living in Wei Xia's former home. Wei Xia also used his connections to help him find some business. Although he had no financial acumen, there was a financial management Li Zhongxian who hired a few professional and conscientious assistants. He didn't need to use his pig brain to do anything, he just needed to sit and enjoy his achievements within the scope of compliance and legality.
"This is specially taken care of by His Excellency Randall." The driver said deliberately, afraid that Wei Xia would not know.
His Excellency Randall?
Wei Xia wanted to laugh as she heard this, "Go to the hotel first."
Then, the driver held the intercom and said to several other cars: "Go to the hotel first! Please answer when you receive it!"
"Received! Go to the hotel first! Received!"
Those who don’t know the situation will think where the special forces come from. Aren’t they just picking up individuals? They can actually do it like carrying out a national secret mission.
The drivers took Wei Xia to the hotel.
"Mr. Wei, I have been here all the time. Please call me if you need it." He finished speaking and continued the next sentence, "Well, this is also the care of His Excellency Randall."
Wei Xia thought that his brother needed to understand some of the sufferings of the people. After spending a lot of time, he forgot who he was. He even called himself yourselves, who did he think he was, the British royal family?
Jerry Bass is not as good as him!
"Okay, I will call you if you need it." Wei Xia was about to leave, but suddenly stopped. "By the way, please tell Your Excellency Randall, and say that Lord Felix is very satisfied with his care and ask him to continue his efforts."
The driver nodded and said, "I will bring your original words to you completely, Mr. Wei."
"What did you call me?"
"Mr. Wei...isn't it right?"
Wei Xia said disappointedly: "You don't even call me Lord Felix..."
The driver wants to say that in modern times, it is easy to feel like he is a servant, but he seems to have no choice.
"Sorry, Lord Felix."
The driver burst out Wei Xia's goosebumps as soon as he screamed. Why did he get a respectful title that he couldn't even bear?
He could not imagine the driver calling Wei Qiu "Hissergeant Randall" in person.
Too embarrassing! Too shocking! Too scary!
"I'm very satisfied with yours, so let him add money to you!" Wei Xia said.
"Thank you, Lord Felix!"
The volume has been raised several times.
"Then what, you should call me Mr. Wei."
Wei Xia then entered the hotel, reported his name, and the waiter took him to the room and settled down.
After noon, Wei Xia was about to order lunch.
The phone in his room rang.
He thought it was someone next door who called it, so he picked it up casually.
"Wish, is the room prepared by those bastards still comfortable? Do you want to come to me?"
This sound hasn't been heard for a long time.
It took about two years for Wei Xia to hear this sound, and they have not contacted each other since he went to Philadelphia.
Jim Buss, the only one he doesn't dislike, is also the only one who has had contact with him during his time at the Lakers.
Even the Lakers withdrew their offer by calling Buss Jr.
They thought it would be better for him to let Bass inform him.
It must be said that their "consideration" touched Wei Xia very much.
Even if Wei Xia left the Lakers, it did not mean that his friendship with Bus Jr. has ended here. During the three years of the Lakers, Bus Jr. has provided him with countless help, and he could not disappear by being abandoned by the Bus family.
What's more, the decision to abandon him was not made by Little Bus.
He believed that if things had room for maneuver, Buss would do his best to save them. If he could not interfere, it would only mean one thing. The decision to withdraw the offer came from the highest level within the Lakers. The old guy who would not allow a second voice as long as he opened his mouth was his decision.
"There is the greatest pleasure." Wei Xia replied.
"Then come here, let's get together!"
