You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 202 The Unstoppable Lakers

December 2005, 12, this game is destined to make Charlotte people feel a little lost.

The Bobcats are a new army, and the bosses are not rich. Their current team building philosophy is still based on making money steadily.

How will the new army attract fans to live consumption?

The easiest way is to select local stars in the draft.

As long as it is a local star who can attract fans to watch the game, even if there is a better option than him in the same position, he must break his teeth and swallow in his stomach, and resolutely bring him back to the team.

In the draft half a year ago, the Bobcats had such an idea.

They had a chance to get Wei Xia, but in the end they chose Jordan's juniors.

Raymond Felton and Sean May, the two giants from North Carolina have not shown any strong performances to prove that they are worthy of the expectations of the Charlotte people.

Lynx has many old friends of Wei Xia.

The Second Young Master of North Carolina will not talk about it;

Emeka Okafor, the No. 2004 draft pick in 2004, saw him, and Wei Xia remembered that in [-], in his freshman season, he defeated the later national champion Connecticut in the championship game of the Big East Conference and helped the team win the Big East Championship again.

A lot of things started after that game.

Before that game, Wei Xia followed the path of John Havlicek.

After that game, he was injured and was reimbursed for the season. The unwillingness from the bottom of his heart guided him to travel through the old time again.

He possessed David Thompson in 1978 and replaced him in the best battle of his career.

Wei Xia did not score points like Skywalker. According to his habits and temperament, he first ensured victory and then talked about other things.

He won the game by his standards, was lucky to get the talent of Skywalker, and has the potential to challenge the limit of the sky ever since.

Although he failed to play March Madness in his freshman season, all regrets were made up in his sophomore season.

Moreover, Skywalker's talent allows him to have a more ambitious future.

And Bernard Robinson (SG/SF), from the University of Michigan, who entered the draft in 2004 and played against Wechat in his freshman season.

There are also some reasons why Weixia is determined to play a wonderful game against the Bobcats.

It's no secret that he has a problem with the Bobcats.

Because the Bobcats gave him up for the two losers at the University of North Carolina, it's like telling the fans in disguise: We think they are better than Wei Xia.

Since they think so, let Wei Xia prove who is better.

Although the Bobcats are a new team, they acquired Gerald Wallace, who was depressed during the Kings period, through the expansion draft, and won Okafor at the second place in the 2005 draft, and then picked Felton and Sean May in the next year's draft.

Less than 4 minutes into the game, Smush Parker was replaced by Phil Jackson due to his low shooting percentage.

Jackson's patience with Parker is getting less and less. In the past, he had to endure Parker for at least 7-8 minutes.

Under normal circumstances, when we lose patience with something, we often find a substitute for it.

Wei Xia is the one who should obviously be the starting substitute.

Wei Xia was replaced like this, and played for 22 minutes in a row, and was not replaced until half a minute before the end of the first half.

He played 22 minutes in the half, more minutes than Kobe Bryant played.

Jackson, like Wei Xia's past coaches, was reluctant to replace him, because his performance today is unparalleled.

半场14分6篮板3助攻2盖帽和3次面对费尔顿如强盗土匪般的抢断。

In the second half, Wei Xia even replaced Reaper's starter.

Jackson once again let him play 18 consecutive minutes, and his playing time reached a rookie season high of 40 minutes.

In 40 minutes, Wei Xia scored 28 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 5 steals. There is nothing to say. This is his strongest battle so far in his rookie season. His influence covers both the frontcourt and the backcourt.

The Bobcats, who wanted to break their wrists with the Lakers, were blown away.

Nine lives are not enough to die.

With half a quarter left before the end of the game, they trailed the Lakers by as much as 24 points.

Wei Xia's old friends each played a performance that made the Bobcats management "refreshing".

Okafor scored 12 of 2, scored 9 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. To be honest, apart from offense, he performed well.

Sean May scored 3 of 2, 7 points and 5 rebounds, which is not bad.

Raymond Felton only played 15 minutes, and he didn't get more chances because he was embarrassed against Wecha.

5 of 1, 4 turnovers, the Bobcats lost points as soon as he was present.

Bernard Robinson was the best performer, 6 of 5, lightly scored 13 points and 4 rebounds. Unfortunately, he is not the starter, but a substitute for icing on the cake. No one will take his statistics seriously.

Michael Thompson commented with a smile: "I really don't understand how Charlotte could miss Wish for these few people."

Not to mention old Thompson, Wei Xia couldn't figure it out either.

At the end of the game, Wei Xia became the focus, and his way of dealing with reporters remained the same.

"You just had the best game of your career, anything to say?"

A reporter from New York asked questions enthusiastically.

"I'm very happy." It's over.

"The Bobcats had a chance to get you before the Lakers. Are you upset that they picked Raymond instead of you?"

The reporter of "Los Angeles Daily News" tried to make a big deal, will Wei Xia satisfy him?

"It's their loss, I don't care."

Wei Xia's answer fully shows that he is not only unhappy but also very annoyed, which is why he also used the energy of fighting in bed with Serinda Swan tonight.

The reporters were very excited. It seemed that this young master who seemed to have no desire to answer anything was invulnerable.

"Bobcats coach Bickerstaff thinks you are the best rookie in 2005. He thinks you should be ROY (Rookie of the Year). What do you think?"

It was another local reporter in Los Angeles. They failed to grasp the essence of the "Los Angeles Daily News" and asked a question that Wei Xia could easily resolve.

"I do not care."

Wei Xia's answer once again killed the media's interest in asking questions. As for Jackson and Kobe, they heard many questions about Wei Xia.

Zen master showed obvious impatience: "I ask you to ask less questions about Wish. This is a game won by the Lakers together, but you only have Wish in your eyes, which is unfair to others."

Even if he said so, the reporters still took the trouble to say that name, which made Jackson feel disgusted and disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

"Coach Jackson, Wish's performance is getting better and better, will you consider letting him enter the starting list next?"

here we go again!These goddamn guys!
Zen Master cursed angrily in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "I said that Wish is more suitable to play as a substitute now, and we need him to play as a substitute."

"A lot of people think he's a better starter than Smash Parker, what do you think?"

Since Wei Xia had just played the best performance of his career, the intensity of the reporter's questions was far greater than usual.

The Zen master gave the reporter a vicious look, as if he wanted to dig out the other person's heart with his eyes.

Too bad it's not that easy.

He had to answer, and it was a more convincing answer.

"You're right, Wish deserves to start." Jackson simply took a step back, and then made a turn of "Although you make a lot of sense, but I still fucking disagree", "There are many things in the world that are not taken for granted. I have coached several great teams. There is no shortage of examples of players as good as Wish who can only play off the bench. The most typical case is Toni Kukoc from 1996 to 1998. We all know that he can start, and he has unprecedented characteristics. The talent, I bet you only saw a similar style in Magic at the time⑴, but for the sake of the team, he played three years off the bench."

⑴ The 210cm left-handed general can play from positions 1 to 4.In the small ball era, he can play the 5th position.

Jackson ended with this sentence: "The important thing is not who starts, but who finishes. Although Wish is not the starter, the burden on him is not lighter than that of the starter. I still say that a complete system requires the full dedication of the players. It also requires the sacrifice of the players. The triangle offense is very profound. Superstars have to sacrifice, and role players are also sacrificed. Everyone is sacrificed, but you only focus on Wish. This is unfair to other people who also sacrificed themselves."

Jackson perfectly rebuffed the reporters, making it difficult for them to say anything more.

The victory against the Bobcats made the Lakers trend better.

Nightmare 10 away in 8 games, they started with a winning streak.

Just after the victory over the Bobcats, they committed the same murder against the Bucks, thanks to Odom's 30 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

For the Bucks, it's almost a replica of the Bobcats.

Three Lakers team scored 3 points, and Kobe won the game without much effort.

Against the Raptors, although the opponent gave Kobe little chance to make a shot, the six Lakers scored in double figures, and it is rare to defeat a strong enemy with a collective advantage.

While breaking the winning streak, continue the away journey.

The Lakers arrived in Chicago, Kobe Bryant 34 points, Wei Xia 22 points, Lamar Odom triple-double, continued winning streak.

It is still an away game, against the Mavericks, Kobe scored 46 points indulgently, leading the team to shoot the Cowboys with a 3-point advantage, and they are still undefeated.

"The Lakers are going strong and unstoppable!"
