Chapter 810 Kobe ***
In reality, Wei Xia is working hard for his defending season, while John Haflicek of the old time is still on the road to finding light.
In the fall of 1971, at a good time, the most chaotic decade of the NBA has begun, and all the orders and protagonists have already appeared.
Before the 1971 draft ended, Weisha tried to change the Celtics' history.
He opened the Sky Eye in 2014 and learned which players in this class will become All-Stars, so he made several suggestions to the Cardinal on behalf of Havlicek.
Suggestion 1: "Red Head, you should find a way to choose Spencer Haywood PF/C. He is a genius, an absolute genius."
In fact, Wei Xia didn't know how "genius" Heywood was, he just learned through Wikipedia that Hayward won the scoring champion in the ABA and was elected as the MVP in the rookie season.
Moreover, he is different from those who have fallen sharply after leaving the ABA. He only played one ABA season and went to Seattle, and then averaged at least 2112 rebounds per game in five of the next six seasons. If such a person can be won, wouldn’t the Celtics revival be in sight?
Suggestion 2: "Randy Smith is a strong forward, it's definitely right to win him!"
Wei Xia fought with Smith when she first traveled to Haflicek.
As the first generation of Iron Man, his strength and professional qualities are beyond words.
Suggestion 3: "Although Artis Gilmore (Artis C)1 made up his mind to go to ABA, we should also find a way to choose him. Maybe one day the ABA will suddenly disband, so we have priority signing rights."
Unfortunately, Wei Xia’s three suggestions were not adopted.
And the first suggestion was refuted by Auerbach with an iron-like fact: "Spencer Heywood? Why do I want that stupid to come here?"
Since Wei Xia only read Wikipedia and did not know in detail, there is really no way to respond to Auerbach's conclusive reply.
Later, he learned about Heywood through newspapers in the old days.
Unfortunately, his conclusions are consistent with Auerbach, and Heywood's head may be really wrong.
It is no exaggeration to say that the 10 years of the 1970s were the darkest, most turbulent and most stormy 10 years in NBA history.
So who is the origin of all this?
If we want to talk about the source of the turbulent 2019-20 season in the NBA, the old thief in Houston deserves it.
The source of all evil in the 1970s, the beginning of everything, was definitely the first thing in history to join the professional league and make a lot of money without spending four years in college.
In fact, Heywood cannot be blamed. This is human nature. During the All-Star Weekend in 1964, players' backs became hard, and TV broadcast contracts were signed. The NBA ushered in five golden years and began to see six-figure salaries one after another. By the late 1960s, no players were playing games while working part-time on other jobs.
Heywood broke the rules but didn't have a brain. He signed a super maximum salary of 400,000, which seemed to be a sky-high price of 400,000 yuan at the time. However, the details of this contract are clearly written. Heywood could receive $50,000 a year in the first three years of signing this contract, and the rest would be given to him 1,500 a year after he was 40 years old - do you want to laugh? Smile, go with me.
Afterwards, Haywood staged a lawsuit against Qiu Ju, who moved the United States, and at least fled Denver, but his career has also declined all the way.
Heywood is a symbol of this sport that is gradually becoming chaotic: young players gain money and power too early and care only about themselves. The peak period occurs in an era when too much team and too much money and responsibility is gained early.
This is why the 1970s became an era of "too many, too overly, too early".
Heywood is definitely a representative figure of this phenomenon. He quickly made a lot of money and spent a lot of money. He had to change teams every few years (always disappointed his ex), participated in destroying the Knicks, and made the Supersonics head coach/GM and the ultimate winner in NBA history. Bill Russell lost confidence in professional basketball, developed a huge drug addiction, and even got involved in the most exciting cocaine 2 story in NBA history.
Even, you have to say that fate is so interesting. After Spencer Heywood retired in the 1982-1983 season, the Magic and Big Bird took their respective teams to the top of the mountain and launched a battle of old enemies that lasted for decades, and the league began to take off.
Wei Xia failed to simply and roughly change Haflicke's fate. Moreover, when he came to the old time again, he took the initiative to talk to Auerbach about that matter, but the other party's confusion of "When did you tell me?" made Wei Xia conclude that his rude interference in the direction of history was corrected by the old time.
Not to mention anything else, although Heywood is indeed a fool, if Randy Smith can join the Celtics and the Celtics have the signing rights of Gilmore when the league merges in the future, then the NBA in the mid-to-late 70 years and the entire NBA history in the 1980s will undergo drastic changes.
Although history has not been changed this time, some of the things Wei Xia does on weekdays still have effect.
For example, Malawic often hinted on the phone that if there is a chance in the future, he would think of Boston to play.
This matter has not been corrected by the old times, which means that this method works.
As for whether the Pistol will become Haflicke's teammate in the future, we have to look down.
That night, he chose two games as a training ground for skills.
One is the final winner of this season's Los Angeles Lakers, and the other is the Atlanta Hawks with constant internal strife.
For the Lakers, you can practice techniques that are rarely used in reality while comparing the differences between the Lakers' games and the 76ers' games.
For the eagle, we naturally continued to seek Buddhist scriptures.
He learned all the magical skills that shocked the world last season from rookie Malawic, and that was just rookie Malawic.
Maybe he really only has those actions, but imagination and creativity are sometimes like writing lyrics. The idiot can only write "Follow me - go a wave" such as "Anyone who can write four kilograms of rubbish for a day, while the real lyricist has an infinite upper limit.
Every game is different. Malawic may be in good shape or bad shape. All Wei Xia has to do is observe his performance and then find ways to arouse his fighting spirit - for example, use his tricks in front of him.
The game with the Lakers made Wei Xia more convinced that the 76ers were on the right path.
He knew that this Lakers won 32 consecutive wins in the regular season, beat the players in the playoffs, and were depressed for life and death, and finally showed what contemporary fans imagined this year that he should have a heroic face.
At least this year, he has no solution, and it also makes him boast about himself in his autobiography. The so-called "Russell regards the game as a death fight, but it is just a game for me. If I fight like him, I can win the championship every year."
In this way, Wei Xia woke up after spending a day in the old time in a vain and fickle manner with two real but no impact on history.
Every time he wakes up, he feels unreal.
He hasn't really fallen asleep for a long time. He no longer knows what it feels like to fall asleep and lose his sense of self.
He had been traveling around in another time and space for a day, but in reality he had enough rest. He was always in awe of this indescribable magic.
After getting dressed, folded the quilt, went into the bathroom to wash, and came to the kitchen, Elaine prepared a delicious breakfast, while his son was stealing cat food to eat - it was a birthday gift from Wei Mingliang.
Thinking of the possible damage that the Huskie sent by Kobe in his hometown, Wei Xia had reason to suspect that his father was not kind-hearted.
"Phil, if you steal Kobe's food, I'll give it to someone!" Wei Xia threatened.
Do you think the name of this cat sounds a bit like Kobe? In fact, it is not a bit like Kobe, but its name is called "Kobe".
Everyone knows that Kobe's name comes from Kobe steak. The truth is that it is simply because Bryant and his wife like the name of Kobe. KO-BEE is the name of Americans. Wei Xia directly named this ragdoll cat Kobe (KO-BAY) according to the Japanese name.
If Kobe is lucky enough to meet Kobe in the future, Wei Xia can also make excuses that he is not paying tribute to him, but simply likes this name.
Now, his dream has been achieved.
He had a son named Phil and a ragdoll cat named Cobe.
As of now, there is no regret for death.
1 In terms of talent and strength, the Locomotive is definitely a shining pearl buried in the long river of history. How can you say it? Just imagine Howard who can shoot 218 cm in mid-range shots. He made a decision with the ABA early that year, so he was symbolically selected by the Bulls until the 117th pick. As a result, five years later, the league merged, his club was disbanded, and the Bulls had a free superstar. But Gilmore had already achieved considerable success in the ABA at that time (after debuting for a while, he had four consecutive rebounding champions, MVP, and championships), and he was no longer ambitious, and played nine double-double seasons, and the three Wandering teams retired in the late 1980s.
