Chapter 669 The coming year will definitely be better (15/67)

The referee blew the final whistle, 108-105, and the Heat defeated the 76ers, 4-2, and eliminated them.

Game 6, Wei Xia scored a game-high 49 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, and many accidents happened in the last minute. If Cousins ​​made both free throws, if he grabbed the rebound and didn't get it, if the referee awarded the ball to the Heat, he did not rush to the referee and yelled, if he was not hyped...

The disaster in the first half, the highlights of the third quarter, and Cousins, who performed steadily in most of the fourth quarter, actually stole all the "lift" in the last minute.

Wei Xia seems to have to accept failure, and this year, he still cannot win a championship of his own.

From 2005 to now, he has won the championship with Kobe in eight seasons. But everyone will say that he can win the championship because he is with Kobe. Even if he is the MVP of that series, many people still say that.

He struggled in the East and could not reach the finals until today.

James came over.

Wei Xia was still not used to it when she saw him not wearing a hairband for the first time.

"You guys are really strong," James said modestly. "I think the final ball rights belong to you, but I'm not the referee..."

"No need to say that..." Weisha asked James to stop being modest, "You win the right way, LeBron."

James may be the one who understands Wei Xia the best in this stadium.

He knew very well that he could not win after giving all his strength, so he lost in one season.

If you can't win the championship, what's the use of scoring champion's best defensive player of the year?

That's why he had to leave Cleveland.

He cannot waste his great youth in the failures of these so-called "non-war crimes" and so-called "defeated but still glorious".

He can clearly win the championship like a winner, why should he lose the battle like Wei Xia?

The 76ers' head coach Doug Collins faced the media and the camera, and the disappointment on his face could not be hidden.

Without the last string of mistakes, they can win.

He is extremely sure!

If the game reaches the seventh game, with Wei Xia's form tonight and his state that can beat James, they can completely defeat the Heat and represent the East in the finals.

"What is the revelation this slightest failure brings to you?"

A reporter asked on the spot.

Collins's face looked extremely bad, and he said in a deep voice: "If Wish scored 49 points but we couldn't win the game; when Wish scored 49 points, we lost by a slight gap; you know what our revelation is. Only Wish's offense and defense intensity has reached this level, and no one else!"

Collins said disappointedly: "The others don't!"

"A lot of unimaginable things happened tonight, but what we imagined didn't happen!" Collins said in an out-of-control mood, "It's so sad! I'm sad for Wish!"

How did Wei Xia, who was saddened by his head coach, face the reporter?

At least, his emotions were well controlled.

Although his heart was cut off and he wanted to disappear from the court, no matter how the fans called him MVP, the result could not be changed.

The reporter asked him: "What do you think of this game?"

"The Heat are the real champions, and we have many young people who lack experience and are not full of wings." Wei Xia sincerely hopes, "Next year will be better."

Will next year be better? He is not sure.

As for this year, Gordon Hayward has made obvious progress, Farid's shooting has not improved much, and Cousins ​​has always been very strong. In the past few years, although he has experienced ups and downs in the playoffs, he rarely loses his temper as irresponsibly as the regular season, and randomly angers the referee to get a technical foul and exit.

But when I think back, was his performance really too much for the technical foul at the last moment? It was undoubtedly a controversial penalty? No matter who it is, he would question the referee. If it were James, Kobe, and Wei Xia, then they would be called a technical foul? The referee's tolerance for Cousins ​​and others is different.

Although Cousins ​​had room for argument, he was still wrong. The team was still ahead at the time, and even if he lost the ball, he still had a chance to defend. His impatientness allowed the 76ers to fall to the bottom without even the chance to defend.

Will this heartbreaking defeat change him?

Wei Xia was not sure. He walked into the player channel and no longer knew how to face his teammates.

Maybe he should have scolded Cousins ​​in front of everyone, after all, he ruined Game 6. If it weren't for him, they should have started preparing for a tiebreak now.

But without Cousins, would they be able to play with the Heat until the sixth game?

Just because of this minute of darkness, will he wipe out his performance in suppressing Chris Bosh's almost the entire Eastern Conference Finals?

Wei Xia saw their locker room, and the door was full of people.

There were assistant coaches, trainers, staff, and his teammates. They didn't enter the locker room, as if there was a dangerous creature inside.

"Why are you standing outside?"

As soon as Wei Xia finished speaking, he heard a roar coming from inside, and then something was thrown heavily to the ground.

Even if he didn't walk in and look, Wei Xia could tell from his voice who was the person who made everyone dare not enter the locker room.

Wei Xia gently opened the door to the locker room.

He could see the broken plastic chairs, wooden stools, tactical boards, tactical pens and white paper at a glance, and many pieces of fragments that he could no longer see.

Cousins ​​destroyed the locker room, and he dropped everything he could see and catch.

"Will this make you feel a little better?"

Wei Xia spoke casually.

Cousins ​​sat shirtless on the ground, he had no place to sit, and he broke all the things he could sit in.

When Wei Xia wanted to walk to him, he responded with a fierce reaction and reached out and pushed forward, "Don't come over! Don't talk to me! I know I've fucked up! You don't have to tell me, I know I ruined this season!"

Wei Xia heard the sound of sobs. He thought he was hallucinating, but yes, the sob came from Cousins, his body was trembling, and the sob became more and more obvious.

"I know, we all know you'll always mess up, but..." Wei Xia didn't stop there, he was always approaching Cousins. "In the past few years, you have controlled your emotions well in the playoffs. We were surprised and happy for you. I know you have distinguished clearly. I know you are not the little guy who can't grow up in the eyes of others."

Why is it tonight? Wei Xia didn't know how to continue. His heart was like a knife. Perhaps Cousins ​​was more painful than him, but he was undoubtedly the one who carried more.

"I'm sorry..." Cousins ​​said in a trembling voice.

After all, he is only 22 years old, he has an exciting talent and an elusive personality, but he is not a bad person in nature.

"It's okay." Wei Xia said, "It'll pass."

Cousins ​​looked at Wei Xia with bright tears in his eyes: "I don't know why I can't control myself! I just want to get the ball back. It's our ball. I didn't touch the ball out of bounds... I didn't offend the referee..."

He was in pain, just as Wei Xia didn't know how to deal with him.

He didn't know how to face his teammates who trusted him, so he destroyed the locker room.

"Yes, we all saw you want to get the ball back..."

Cousins ​​dared not look at Wei Xia again. He lowered his head in shame and said crying: "Only you will say that... Because you are my boss, you must say that!"

Wei Xia smiled bitterly.

"Is this wrong? Because I am your boss, my words don't count?" Wei Xia asked, "Does I say nothing count, Boge?"

Cousins ​​nodded and said, "Yes, everyone else will blame me, only you will tell me that it is right, but I just did something stupid!"

He was indignant and sad, and all his emotions were on his face.

Seeing him like this, Wei Xia forgives his mistake. He never apologized for his mistakes before, nor did he cry because of his mistakes. Now he feels a bone-broken pain and no longer needs him to say anything.

He knows what he did.

He knew what consequences he had brought.

The wound has remained in his heart. Should he sprinkle salt?

"It is me, I am your boss, and I have been with you since you entered the league, so I know you best, and only I can make the right evaluation of you!" Wei Xia said heavily, "You did the right thing, but you didn't choose the right opportunity."

"But we lost! I ruined this season! Everyone's efforts were ruined by me alone! This is the fact!"

"I know."

Wei Xia nodded gently.

"If I do it again, I don't know...I don't know if I can control myself, I..."

"You can definitely!"

Wei Xia said loudly.

Cousins ​​was stunned.

Wei Xia looked at the person outside the locker room and asked, "Is it right?"

"That's right!" Hayward replied loudly.

"This season is like the locker room at this moment, with a mess, with only ruins, we were defeated, but is it over? Do we never have a chance again?" Wei Xia shouted, "No! This is a new beginning! Everyone will have a day when all the efforts are put in but cannot reap the results! Not only us, but all the great players come here!"

"We still have many detours to go, and we will be disappointed with many satisfactions - everything will have to wait for the future to show its meaning."
