You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 258 Unlucky Pre-war Speech
Wei Xia didn't come here to dislike him. If someone insists on disliking him, that's the freedom of others.

Except for Kobe, only Yao Huang took the time to say hello. The others trained when they needed to, and accepted interviews when they needed to be interviewed. No one hindered anyone.

In the evening, second-year player Andre Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers came to the gym to preview his prepared dunk routine.

He signed up for the slam dunk contest. With his physical fitness, it is not difficult to get a good ranking in the competition.

Iguodala dunked lively and wonderfully, and Wei Xia also came to watch.

The purpose of his onlookers was not to join in the fun. When Iguodala made a dunk, he wondered in his heart whether it would be possible for him to do it.

Most of Iguodala's dunks can be completed in one go, except for the gliding dunk that is self-throwing and self-receiving after hitting the board.

At night, Wei Xia and Kobe went to eat western food nearby.

Bryant's main focus is spaghetti and chicken breast, while Wesha simply wants a large steak.He just wants to fill his stomach, and Kobe is like a nagging old woman telling him over and over again how bad steak is.

Wei Xia's ears were full of worms.

That night, the 2006 Rookie Challenge was held at the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets.

On the big screen at the scene, the alliance's well-crafted tidbits were released.

"Next, let's welcome the future star of hope of the alliance!"

The first thing that appeared on the screen was the young Tracy McGrady in a Raptors jersey.

Then, Kobe and Iverson stood side by side.

Further back, LeBron James throws a punch at the camera.

Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Garnett with fast break dunks, and Jason Richardson with a 360-degree turn and dunk in actual combat.

Gorgeous change of direction, big windmill dunks, back dunks with both hands, coquettish back passes without looking at others. Beautiful shots appeared one after another.

The highlight moments of participating in the Rookie Challenge were shown on the big screen one after another.

When it was played to Weisha, the highlight shot they selected was the scene of him dunking Shaq O'Neal's head and scoring.

Seeing the ball, Wei Xia nodded in agreement.

If you had to pick the most iconic moment of his rookie season, so far, it would be that shot, let him choose, and that shot.

"Good job Philly!"

"It hasn't started yet."

Wei Xia's brother and sister came to the scene.

Wei Chun and Wei Qiu occupy the three front row seats.The reason there are three is because Wei Chun's body is too unrestrained.

Wei Qiu just looks bloated, Wei Chun looks like a spinning top.Fat to the point where her neck is invisible, and big and round from the head down, she seems to have gained weight recently.

Wei Xia didn't mind the eyes of outsiders at all, and ran in front of them, Wei Qiu chose to clap his hands, while Wei Chun gave him an encouraging kiss on the face.

"Your sister needs a systematic weight loss plan." When Wei Xia returned to his teammates, Paul teased.

He was not malicious, Wei Xia replied with a joke: "I tried it, so she put the exercise plan in a sandwich and ate it."

"I can only express regret for this." Paul laughed.

Wei Xia has nothing to say, Wei Chun's weight is indeed a trouble, in the short term it is just unsightly, in the long term it is unhealthy, extremely unhealthy.

In addition, Wei Xia also found Kobe's seat in the front row.

Elaine Trovis sat next to him.

She actually came?Wei Xia just invited casually that day, but he didn't expect Trovis to come.

He went over to say hello: "I couldn't be happier to see you."

"I supported him countless times on the sidelines, and he never expressed happiness." Kobe was a good wingman.

Wei Xia gave him a quick look.

Trovis smiled gently: "You can't just be happy for yourself. Please turn your grief into strength and play a wonderful performance. Let us be happy too."

"Grief and anger?" Wei Xia was stunned, why did he have grief and anger?
"I understand your feelings about your girlfriend's nude scene." Trovis playfully stretched out a hand and clenched his fist, "Come on."

Wei Xia's smile was uglier than crying: "If you don't mention this, I want to score 50 points for you!"

After all, he turned and left.

"Is he serious?" Trovis asked. "Fifty points?"

"Joke!" Kobe said disdainfully, "Don't talk about 50 points, he can score 40 points, I climbed out of the field on the spot!"

Trovis looked at Kobe with wide eyes: "Really?"

"You can ask Vanessa, when did I fail to do what I said?" When he was away from home and his wife was not around, Kobe felt that he could do it again.

If Trovis knew that if Wei Xia heard what Kobe said, he would have to score 40 points even if he turned into a team cancer, and she would definitely tell him what Kobe said as soon as possible.

Now she can only pick a suitable time to tell Wei Xia that Kobe criticized him behind his back.

Going to him directly seems a bit like a bad woman who tells the story. Besides, she just joked about Wei Xia's troubles, so...anyone, no matter the elite or the foolish people, if procrastination occurs, they can find countless excuses for procrastination.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to TNT—Basketball Night! Tonight, we gather at the Toyota Center in Houston, where the rookie challenge of the 2005-06 NBA All-Star Weekend will be held. The second-year team represented by the 2004 rookie and the first-year team represented by the 2005 rookie will hold a fierce battle!"

"I'm the commentator, Dick Stockton." Dick Stockton introduced himself and the colleagues sitting next to him, "and Hall of Fame coach John Thompson (John Thompson) and Hall of Fame player Reggie Miller will comment on this game with me!"

"Reggie, you come first, what do you think the chances of winning this year's Rookie Challenge?" Stockton asked.

Miller, who has just turned from a player to a game analyst, already knows how to make use of his language talent and instinct for picking things: "According to the results of previous years, the more experienced and stronger second grade will take the lead, but this year, I think the first grade has a better chance of winning. They have Chris Paul, the best core guard after John Stockton. There is also Wish, who is expected to win the sixth man of the year this year. Things. Under the leadership of these two, the first-year team has a bright future."

"Okay, let's listen to the live interview with Whsi and CP3 next."

The camera turned to Paul and Wei Xia successively.

Wei Xia heard Miller's support and praise for him, and said happily: "Reggie must mean a lot to me. I have liked his game since I was a child."

"It seems that Wish and I have a lot in common." Miller said jokingly.

Next, Stockton asked John Thompson next to him.

This person is a well-known college coach. He was a teammate of Bill Russell when he was a player. Because he played in an era when racial discrimination was prevalent, he was particularly sensitive to skin color.Later, he entered Georgetown University, formed a pure black team, and ushered in the pinnacle of school history after acquiring Patrick Ewing in the early 80s.

He's an old-school coach, and a staid coach.

He insisted that the second year in the NBA who played one more year than the first year has no reason to lose to the first year in terms of immediate combat power, physical confrontation and experience.

He also cited the 2004 Rookie Challenge as an example.

At the beginning, the 2003 class of players was known as the most talented draft class since 1996.

Facing the big and small 2002 draft, that is, the combat power is not bad, the talent is overwhelmed, and it should have been completed. As a result, Yao Huang, Ginobili, Stoudemire, Jarich, Boozer and others led the team to violently score 143 points and beat the golden generation with an absolute advantage. This shows that talent is far less useful than mature immediate combat power in the current game.

Thompson said it with reason and evidence, and expressed his attitude. He believes that the second grade will beat the first grade by a clear advantage.

Next, first graders and second graders stand in a row.

The most interesting thing is that Wechat and Bogut are side by side.

reason?Wei Xia said, he and Bogut have a very good personal relationship
The DJ at the scene read their names aloud, and Wei Xia and Bogut Qiqi turned into smirking boys.

"If I fucking pass a ball to your bitch, I'll be a lowly stinking dog!" Bogut smirked while putting down the harsh words that hindered harmony.

Bogut put down his harsh words, it sounded really uncomfortable, but he didn't expect Wei Xia to be a serious bully.

"Is there any lady in your family who has accepted my services? Otherwise, why would you insist that I am Bichi?" Wei Xia's irony made Bogut feel uncomfortable.

"You are!" Bogut insisted unreasonably.

If DJ hadn't quickly read the names of both parties, Wei Xia might have continued to bicker with him.

After introducing the players from both sides, it is their respective head coaches.

The first-year head coach is Silver Fox Harris.

The second-year head coach has a lot going on.

His name is Moses Malone. You can call him the most rebounding man in history. He is also the only superstar who punched Maggie and stepped on Bird to win the championship before the Bad Boys.

There is some good news for first graders.

One is that Emeka Okafor, the main force in the second grade, is determined to miss the Rookie Challenge due to injury.

In addition to Okafor, Jamal Nelson is absent due to injury.

Even without two main players, the second-year lineup should not be underestimated: Dwight Howard, TJ Ford, Andre Iguodala, Cole Stitch, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Andres Nocioni, Delonte West and Devin Harris.

Before the start of the game, as the host, Luther Hyde of the first-year team will come up to give a speech.

Errr, isn't it too inauspicious to have a man named "Luthor" give a pre-battle speech?

"Hello Gase, we will go all out (husky voice), ready to fight (shaky voice), with the support of the fans, we will definitely win the final victory!"

Yes, this is definitely the most unmotivating speech Wei Xia has ever heard in his life.

The problem wasn't the content of his speech, but his tone of voice and the tone with which he spoke.

His voice sounded without the slightest confidence, and the sparse applause at the end of the speech also reflected the problem.Even the fans were not moved by him.

Basketball fans may be one of the groups most likely to be incited by a few words. He actually finished a sentence without making any splashes?

"How did he do it?" Wei Xia thought to himself.
