In August, NBA teams basically completed reinforcement, and there were very few "good materials" left in the free market.

If you want to talk about which club is the most successful this summer, most people will talk about the Lakers.

They just played a failed season, and the totem of the team who had played for 20 years was poached, but they welcomed one of the three best small forwards in the league, and a newcomer like Andre Drummond.

It’s just a pity that when the two contracts were finalized, the high-quality role players on the market were almost signed, so they could only add some scraps.

Despite this, the Lakers still had a successful summer.

However, the 76ers lost the elite team one after another, and it was not until they shocked the signing of Kobe in the United States that they regained some momentum.

Kobe signed a three-year, 80 million contract with the 76ers, of which the second year was the player option.

If the salary cap does not soar this summer, 76 people will not be able to give this contract.

This contract gave the outside world the final explanation: Kobe is not here to make a living.

No veteran who is stumbled can sign such a big contract. He received a maximum salary, and the 76ers regarded him as the most important signing in the offseason.

The departure of Rondo and others severely damaged the depth of the 76ers. Kobe's arrival can greatly supplement their offensive firepower, but Farid, Rondo and Holiday's immediate combat power and functionality are not something that a 38-year-old Kobe can replace.

To this end, they first signed two inside rookies, and then signed with Seth Curry and Luke Barmot one after another.

During this period, Odom decided to return to the team and play for another year.

He signed a veteran's basic salary.

The biggest surprise was David West, who jumped out of his contract. Originally, his contract with the Pacers had 11 million yuan for a year, but for the sake of the championship, he left early and gave up his eight-figure annual salary and signed a two-year, 6 million contract to join the 76ers.

The last reinforcement for the 76ers was to sign Brandon Jennings with a one-year contract of 5 million.

In this regard, they added seven players over the past summer.

Three inside lines, one wing, and three defenders.

Their lineup looks a little healthier than before, but the overall strength is not as good as during the three consecutive championships.

After losing Drummond, the brilliant 74-win Warriors took advantage of the surge in their salary cap and renewed their contract with Mark Gasol with a maximum salary, retaining their own star lineup.

As of now, they are still the number one champion favorites next season.

Another team that is eyeing the championship, the Cleveland Cavaliers have preserved most of the backbone and have not made major adjustments to their own lineup.

In mid-August, the Rio Olympics started in a hot day. The Chinese team without wishes lost all the group stage and went home early.

Although the core Space Yi in the team performed well, the young people in the team obviously did not know how big the world was, and they all looked ugly in the face of strong European and American teams.

The 76ers' first-round pick Zhou Qi has been criticized the most this year.

As an inside player, he averaged 1 rebound per game in five groups.

When he returned to China, the media asked him how he scored his Olympic performance.

Then he gave himself 6 points without hesitation.

The poor performance on the court, coupled with the messy things off the court, the Chinese 76ers fans came out of grief: "I paid for what I chose to use the first round pick!"

Wei Xia’s defeat against the Chinese team is not surprising, and the world basketball world is different from the past.

NBA is becoming more and more international.

In 2008, he had two active Chinese teams in NBA and dared to say that he could compete with all teams other than the United States.

Now, the two NBAs are not able to make any moves in Europe.

If you can't get five NBA active players, and nine of them are the main rotation players, you have NBA experience or are top European players. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a European powerhouse.

The gap in talent, that is, the gap in combat power, is so big that it makes upset impossible.

It's like the worst team in NBA to play CBA, and it's impossible to lose any game in a season.

This gap can already be described as dimensions.

When the Chinese team suffered a crushing defeat in the Olympics, Wei Xia was in Philadelphia and Kobe were in special training.

He just recovered from a leg injury. Kobe had planned to retire at one time. Without scientific training and body control, his condition was much worse in all aspects.

Wei Xia’s training focus is on restoring the strength of her legs, and competitive state is the second.

"Wish, come on, isn't this weight okay?"

"I've never seen a first person in the league like this."

"If I were as young as you, this weight would be a sprinkling of water for me!"

Wei Xia was kicking her legs, and Kobe was not doing her job properly. Not only did she not concentrate on doing her own thing, she also made yin and yang comments on her side.

"Of course, after all, you are different from me."

Kobe proudly said: "Yes, I'm more outstanding."

"No, I mean, when you were 32 years old, you were eliminated by Kevin Durant in the playoffs, so he dared to sign with the Lakers without you retiring, and he wanted to take your place." Kobe's sarcasm seemed to strengthen Wei Xia's leg strength, and his kicking legs were much stronger than before. "I really regret you, Kobe."

Kobe's arrogance is as usual: "It's easy to replace me, win six championships!"

About ten minutes later, Wei Xia completed the recovery training of leg strength.

Kobe is waiting for this moment.

He threw the basketball into Wei Xia's hands, "Come here to practice your hands!"

"Do you think it's 2006 now?"

"What's the meaning?"

"I can beat you with my left hand."

Unfortunately, Wei Xia's ability to beat Kobe with just her left hand proved to be arrogant.

Although his left hand is no longer a weakness, it is impossible to beat Kobe, who could still contribute 25 points per game last season.

In the past three years, Kobe has only missed four games in 2015, and has remained full at other times, averaging 25.2 points per game and shooting percentage of about 45%.

Wei Xia only used her left hand throughout this bullfight and was beaten 11 to 8 by Kobe.

Victory is not enough joy for Kobe, because Wei Xia really never used her right hand.

Although he has experienced Wei Xia's strength many times on the court, only by countless one-on-one pks in private can he fully feel his changes.

The wish, who was only good at running, had abnormal athletic ability, terrible physical fitness, endless endurance but very rough technology, no longer exists.

Today's wish retains its original characteristics and is also familiar with all the offensive skills from ancient times to the present.

In this game, only the left hand pk was used. Wei Xia scored a three-pointer from the outside, Tiangou scored a goal with his left hand, and a throw shot, a one-handed pull-up, and a strong breakthrough... The score was different every time, and he really only used his left hand.

"You have changed a lot." Kobe said with emotion.

Wei Xia sarcastically said: "You still like difficult backward jump shots so much."

Kobe did not argue for himself. It was helpless to choose a difficult backward. In the one-on-one mode, Wei Xia's defense is difficult to defeat.

His only way is to lean back with difficulty.

It was purely because of the feel of the bullfight.

"I defeated you in just one move, and you should regret yourself." Kobe's cutting angle was impeccable.

Wei Xia said helplessly: "It's nothing good for me to lose to the future NBA total scorer."

At the end of the 2013 season, Kobe's total score had reached 31,385 points.

As mentioned earlier, in the following three seasons, he only missed four games. He scored 6,098 points in these 242 single games, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan, second only to Jabbar, Tiangou.

The gap between him and Jabbar is only 904 points.

This means that as long as he averages 12 points next season, he will be able to become the NBA's historical total scorer.

He averaged 24 points per game last season with the Lakers, and it is no difficulty to average 12 points per game in the new season.

Therefore, Wei Xia said that he is the future NBA total scorer.

If he can maintain his health and form, not only surpass Kareem Kareem, 40,000 points can also be expected.

"It's fine to let things go, I don't care."

Wei Xia believes Kobe is not just talking.

All his scoring records, what he cares most about is the goal that surpassed Michael Jordan.

He has been chasing the ghosts of Chicago all his life, and despite his five rings in his hand, he still cannot surpass the former.

The ghost of Chicago is still suspended over the heads of all superstars.

Only by surpassing him can you make him disappear.

Then, you will become a new ghost.

During the special training period, Wei Xia and Kobe were together from morning to night.

In about half a month, Kobe quickly recovered from his body shape. The muscle memory and foundation laid by decades of basketball will not disappear because of a few months of vacant period.

He recovered quickly.

Wei Xia's left leg strength is getting more and more sufficient.

During the special training period, in addition to personal training, Wei Xia will also discuss single-action shooting with Kobe.

Last season, Kobe told Wei Xia that single-action shooting is likely to become a trend in the future.

Curry led the shooting revolution, and even if he lost one after another to Wei Xia, his impact on basketball was indisputable.

Three-pointers will become an important weapon on the court, and how to shoot three-pointers and three-pointers quickly, accurately, steadily and far is a topic that every basketball player needs to seriously consider.

In the finals last season, Wei Xia's drifting three-pointer from Green at the last moment of game 6 was a single shot.

That was also an action that Wei Xia had been practicing, inspired by Kobe's goal when he drifted the top of the arc and scored a three-pointer to defeat the Heat.

The difficulty and stability of the float shooting are far less difficult and stable than the regular shooting that is straight up and down.

Wei Xia did not intend to use this move as a conventional weapon. Kobe has more insights into single-action shooting. He studied the shooting postures of many people who use this movement and transformed a set that suits him the most.

Although his future in the Lakers last season was uncertain, he did not forget to use actual combat to verify his new skills. Although his shooting percentage was not high, it was an important improvement.
