You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 211 Double Happiness
How about holding on a little longer?

After four years of hard work, he realized that there is a huge gap between his physique and skills and the top football players in the United States, and how stupid it is to try to compete with these people on his own terms. After finding out that he was still not included in the squad for the last time, his "obsession" finally collapsed.But Rudy, who has been deeply "poisoned", is more "stupid" than "stupid" itself. Until now, he still wants to prove himself to those who say he can't do it.

The black man who admired his persistence and kept helping him finally couldn't take it anymore: "You prove a fart! Who are you proving it to? You are such a small, unsporty bastard who has been on the top college football team in the United States for two years! While you are pursuing your idiot football dream, you have also obtained four years of high-quality education. Soon, you, a guy whose grades were as bad as shit, will get a diploma from the University of Notre Dame! You idiot want to prove a fart Hurry up and give me the fuck to go back and continue training!"

Then came the most touching scene of the whole film.

Led by the captain of the Notre Dame football team, everyone went into the head coach's office and implored him to let Rudy play in the final game of his senior season.Each of them put their jerseys on the desk in the office, indicating that they were willing to let Rudy take their place.

Seeing this, Wei Xia felt that his eyes were punched, and the tear glands dripped "sweat" from the eye sockets with his emotions.

Rudy spent four years saving money in a steel mill, another two years to enter the University of Notre Dame, and then spent another two years on the sparring team. His body was already covered in bruises. His dedication and hard work were recognized by his teammates. All of this earned him 27 seconds of playing time.

In the 27 seconds when the overall situation was determined, he successfully completed a sack under the situation where the audience shouted "Rudy", fulfilling his dream in the most perfect way.

At the end of the film, he left the field on the shoulders of his teammates.

Subtitle for the ending credits: No Notre Dame team has been carried off the field since 1975.

The old-fashioned sensational sports movie actually made Wei Xia burst into tears. He suddenly realized that Kobe was sitting next to him. If he saw his current appearance, how long would he be laughed at?

"Is there anything you want to say?" Kobe asked.

"Why did you let me watch?" Wei Xia's words stopped abruptly, and Kobe's mood seemed wrong.

"I thought you had seen it."

"I've seen it, it's my favorite movie."

Wei Xia laughed: "Then you still cry?"

"People who don't cry watching "Rudy" are not normal people." Kobe quickly adjusted his emotions, "If you want to ask me why I let you watch this movie, I want you to see yourself. You didn't completely regard yourself as a substitute, and you didn't put in as much effort as Rudy. From the beginning to the end, you thought you should be the starter. It's time to change your concept. Wish. Really treat yourself as a substitute and fight like Rudy. Throwing your jersey on Phil’s desk! I believe that one day, every fan who walks into Staples will shout your name, and Phil will make a decision helplessly—at that moment, you will become the starter!”

After watching the movie, Kobe asked someone to drive Wesha to the Toyota Center.Wei Xia went to the parking lot and drove home by himself.

He could have boarded at Kobe's house, but he didn't want to be woken up by Kobe before dawn the next day.

He is the most hardworking player on the Lakers, and this point does not need to be proved by showing up to practice earlier than Kobe.

Therefore, even if he goes to bed an hour later, he has to go back to his home.

What happened today is special. He played the best performance of his career, but he didn't get the starting commitment of Jackson.Wei Xia cried badly. After all, he felt the same way. He didn't expect Kobe to cry too.It was a special moment when two big men looked at each other and wept.

Wei Xia was sensitive to a few things.

Kobe said that it was not the first time he watched "Rudy", and also said, "People who don't cry watching "Rudy" are not normal people." Does this mean that he will cry every time he watches this movie?
In the movie, the tenacity and paranoia shown by Rudy is indeed what Kobe values. It is normal for him to like this movie.

What Wei Xia cares most about is what Kobe said to him after watching it.

"You didn't completely see yourself as a substitute, and you didn't put in the effort that Rudy did."He can only agree with the first half of the sentence, but disagrees with the second half. He is the most hardworking person in the Lakers, so how much more work can he do?

"From the beginning to the end, you think you should be the starter."Yes, it is.Although Wei Xia has always played from the bench to the starting lineup since he was a child, he always believes that he should play the starting lineup, and starting from the bench is only a necessary "process".

"Truly put yourself on the bench and fight like Rudy. When you do everything you're supposed to do with no distractions, I swear I'll throw my jersey on Phil's desk. I believe that one day, every fan who walks into Staples will shout your name, and Phil will helplessly make a decision. That's the moment you become a starter."

Kobe's words buzzed in Wei Xia's ears. He was worried about insomnia tonight, so he went home and played for another half an hour.

He didn't stop until he was sweating profusely, and it was three o'clock in the morning when he climbed into bed.

Four hours was not enough for Wei Xia to sleep, and when the alarm clock rang, Wei Xia was in bed.

Wei Xia, who was playing the game in the old days, suddenly returned to reality, took the battery out of the alarm clock, closed his eyes and wanted to go back to the game.

But he couldn't fall asleep.

It is indeed the alarm clock that has accompanied him since he was a child. Who else can call this bed service?

If you can't sleep, then don't sleep.

Wei Xia got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and arrived at Little Bath's "territory" before eight o'clock.

He practiced in the gym until two noon before leaving.

Although he prefers the atmosphere at the Toyota Center, the training ground provided by Buss Jr. is in every way too good to fault.

After a day and a half, the time came to December 2005, 12.

Game day, the Lakers against the Mavericks.

The opponent is one of the best teams in the Western Conference and should not be underestimated.

On the way to the Staples Center, Wesha listened to the radio saying that several days of negotiations between the New York Transportation Workers Union (TWU) and the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) finally broke down. The transportation union announced that the public transportation system (including subways, buses, and inner-city trains, etc.) will start a general strike today.

"New York City's preliminary estimate is that the strike will cost at least $4.4 million per day."

"Wow, a lot of money." Wei Xia really didn't know if he could earn 4.4 million US dollars in his life.

I thought the game against the Mavericks would be the same as before, but as soon as I went to the locker room to change, Smush Parker sent good news: "Coach, I was caught by the police!"

"I didn't fight anyone, I was slandered!"

"I'm in the police station now!"

"Really?" Wei Xia asked overjoyed, "He's in the police station?"

This shows that he can't compete today!

"You don't have to act so happy?" Odom asked amusedly.

"No, no, I didn't gloat." Wei Xia smiled hypocritically. "I just think of happy things."

Kobe smiled slyly: "You are clearly gloating, you haven't stopped for a second!"

"You are not allowed to slander my innocence!"

Wei Xia really wanted to be righteous, but his joy still made his smile bloom like a spring flower.

"Wish, don't be complacent, a week later, I'll still be the starter for the Lakers!" Parker yelled on the phone.

The hands-free function is really the most should disappear function in the communication equipment.

"One week?" Wei Xia asked happily.

Great, double happiness!
According to the police report, Parker participated in the fight and carried a horse in the car. Although the Malaysian trade in California is legal (I don’t know the relevant laws, please punch me), the alliance prohibits it. He has to wait at least a week before he can finish the matter at hand.

So, in the coming week, the Lakers are very "unfortunate" to lose their starting guard Smush Parker.

Phil Jackson looked left and right helplessly. He had to re-select a guard as a starter.

Wei Xia is the most suitable candidate. He is a combo guard and mainly plays the second position, but the Lakers have Kobe, so he is forced to play the first and third positions.Fortunately, his physical condition and technical level are competent.

"Wish, before Smush returns, you will take his place." Jackson did not let anyone else start.

Wei Xia is the sixth man of the Lakers. Now that the top five have an accident, he should be on top.This is nothing to say, reasonable.

If Wei Xia is not allowed to start Parker, it will cause controversy.

Wei Xia shook his legs happily, and even said to Brian Shaw who received Parker's call: "Brian, help me send a message to Smush. I love him. I will miss him all the time. I hope he is all right. We all look forward to his return. The Los Angeles Lakers cannot live without him."

Bynum asked naively: "Why do I sound like you are talking irony?"

"Rookie, you have to reverse every word this guy said just now, even his commas!" Sprewell glanced at Wei Xia, "Look at that kid, why the hell does he look regretful?"

"Yes!" Brian Russell broke the secret, "He wished that Parker would die in the police station."

Wei Xia was really more wronged than Dou E, he spread his hands speechlessly: "You guys think too bad of me."

He wished that Parker would die in the police station?This is unreasonable. The security system of the Los Angeles police station is world-renowned. It is more realistic to expect Parker to die in the police station than to expect Kobe to kill him in the locker room one day because Parker is too low.

So Bryan Russell's sentence should be like this: "He wished Kobe would kill Parker!"

Under the leadership of Kobe, the entire Lakers chanted the Bulls' classic slogan, and then rushed into the Staples Center together. December 2005, 12 was definitely a special day.

⑴ 2005, Kobe, Mavericks.A Komi who doesn't understand the meaning of this day is an incompetent Komi.
