You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 295 Punching Bag (513)

"Wish said that it was his own request to replace him in the third quarter because he felt out of breath at the time. Is there such a thing?"

As soon as the reporter's question came out, the scene could not even hear the sound of breathing.

Bryant and Odom stopped what they were doing and listened to what Jackson had to say.

Wei Xia's words sounded like he was trying to excuse Jackson, but after thinking about it carefully, the logical problem was obvious.

Jackson's response was crucial.

"No, that's not the case." Jackson's answer made Odom's eyes widen. "It was just the beginning of the second half. His physical strength has been very good. How could he be out of breath? The reason I replaced him was simple. Steve Nash scored two consecutive three-pointers under his defense. He was able to score so many points in the third quarter. Wish's defense has an unshirkable responsibility. He is a young player. I replaced him to calm down. It's that simple."

In this way, Jackson shifted the responsibility to Wei Xia.

The scene became a little quieter. No matter how many questions the reporters asked, it was not as shocking as Jackson's few words just now.

It's not that you can't criticize players, but during the playoffs, when you lose a game, criticize a rookie who has performed well in two consecutive games in public?

Tomorrow, the media and fans all over the world will hear how Jackson criticizes Wei Xia. At that time, whether right or wrong, the latter will face huge pressure from public opinion.

That's what Jackson kicked in.

Kobe smiled, and Odom was surprised and dared not say anything.

The press conference on the side of the sun was quite harmonious.

Regarding defending the home victory, Steve Nash maintained the utmost sobriety and reason: "I know how quickly the situation can change, and I also know that the series is not really opened until you win an away game. I know how good the opponent is. So, we have to continue to work hard, continue to maintain focus, play to our strengths, and clearly realize that a good performance in the second game does not mean that the third game will be smooth, especially on the road."

As early as in the locker room, Wei Xia heard Jackson's comments from others.

Perhaps to outsiders, Jackson is ruthless and too mean to him, but he has long been used to it.

That is a season, 82 regular season games, 2 playoff games, Jackson's high standards and high demands on him.

Since Jackson does not give him room for mistakes, he must pursue perfect performance in every game and dare not take it lightly.

His assessment of Jackson does not come with other thoughts, so what, and that may just be the beginning.

Back in Los Angeles tomorrow, at the resumption meeting at the Toyota Center, it is estimated that there will be an even bloodier criticism.

"Life is not easy, kid." Sprewell heard about Wei Xia.

Wei Xia packed his things and added some historical knowledge by the way: "To what extent did you get into trouble with coach PJ Carlesimo to do that kind of thing?"

"Take you as an example." The madman's tone made Wei Xia think that Carlesimo was far more cruel than the Zen master. "If Phil was my coach, and he treated me like he treated you, I would have strangled him to death long ago. If no one can save him, I would definitely kill him!"

Wei Xia said proudly: "So, I have a good temper?"

"I can't see your temper." The madman shook his head and lamented that the blood of the younger generation has disappeared. After being bullied so much, they still don't resist, waiting to be bullied to death?
Wei Xia smiled, he knew why Jackson targeted him, suppressed him, bullied him, and treated him so harshly.

Just because of his origins, who called him a Jim Bass man?

However, now that he accepts this setting, he has to find a way to relax himself.

He thoroughly enjoys the way Jackson dislikes him but has to use him in order to win.

Returning to the hotel from the American Airlines Center, no one spoke on the bus.

Jackson closed his eyes to rest, Kobe listened to the song, and Wei Xia simply enjoyed the night view through the window.

When the bus arrived, he got off directly.

Back in the hotel room, checking voicemails as if the last game was over.

After losing the game, there are not many people who leave messages for him.

Among the many voice messages, he found the one he wanted to hear the most.

From his grandfather Jerry Wayne; "Apply for a trade, that stupid speculator Phil Jackson doesn't understand your value at all, stay in the Lakers and you will be buried!"

Like an older generation of coaches, Wayne didn't think highly of Jackson.

Because Jackson has coached the greatest stars of the 90s and 00s successively, winning the championship is a matter of course.

It's true that he's had success as a long-time NBA coach, but has anyone else followed in his footsteps?
Not to mention that the cardinal is full of peaches and plums, but Pat Riley and Larry Brown. They each brought out two famous coaches, Popovich and Jeff Van Gundy, and Jackson's famous triangle offense, although well-known in the world, was only made by him.

Can only play full-level numbers, can't bring out apprentices, and doesn't know how to build a team.

Here are three reasons why Wayne looks down on Jackson.

Regardless of Wei Xia's grandfather's evaluation of Jackson, his voice message shows that the old man also watched the Lakers game at home. Although he kept saying that he would not watch it if he died, he still watched it for Wei Xia.

Not only did he watch it, but he also watched it seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have called Jackson right after the game to criticize him.

Wei Xia replied with a voice message, avoided the main question, explained the secondary question, and said hello, and the matter was over.

Next, he saw a voice message from Selinda Swan.

"If you're ready to talk to me, please call me, anytime."

Wei Xia did have the idea of ​​repairing the relationship a few days ago. He didn't want a relationship to end like this, and it shouldn't end like this. The concept problem can be corrected, why bother to kill it with a stick?
However, he didn't want to say a word when he lost the ball, especially when he missed a key shot.

He even worried that he would vent his negative emotions about losing the game on Swann, making things worse.

So forget it.

He skipped Swann's text message and found his parents' voice message.

"Rest early, don't need to reply, losing is not a bad thing, it can let you see your own problems earlier." Wei Mingliang's words are always so transparent.

Mei Chen seemed to be in cahoots with Wayne: "Your coach is an idiot. He just sits on the sidelines and whistles. I don't think he understands basketball at all. Substituting you in the third quarter is a failure among failures. He is a self-righteous fool. Apply for a trade, Philly. You really shouldn't entrust your future to this kind of person. I think the Celtics are a good fit for you!"

The last sentence exposed Mei Chen and Wayne's secret connection.

After simply replying to the text message, Wei Xia went to sleep.

Wei Xia had a bad day.

For a Game [-] loss to the Cincinnati Royals, Auerbach drilled his players hard.

That defeat is unbelievable in retrospect.

The nine Royals scored in double figures and defeated the Celtics as a team.

Team combat is obviously something the Green Army is good at, but when someone suddenly engages in this with him, they are actually killed.

In the third battle, the Green Army lost because they were too iron.

Bill Russell made 20 of 8 shots, 18 points and 28 rebounds.

And Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn, and Bob Cousy shot 25, 25, and 17 shots, each hitting a uniform 10 goals.

Unexpectedly, Cousy played abnormally to 17 of 10, shooting 58%, and the Celtics did not win.

Wei Xia wanted to laugh when he thought of Cousy's shooting percentage, and then he was yelled at by the cardinal: "Hondo, what are you laughing at? Is it funny? Huh? You were 10 of 3 for the fuck last night. Sam and Tommy taught you how to shoot in the dog's stomach?"

According to his memory, Wei Xia responded softly: "I didn't shoot last night."

"Then it's even more unbearable!" Auerbach found a punching bag, "Why did you beg me? You asked me to find you a shooting coach, so I persuaded those two old guys to help you train. But you have been trained by the best shooter in the world but dare not shoot in the game. Aren't you wasting everyone's time?"

"Yes, it's all John Havlicek's fault!" Wei Xia said to himself what made his teammates agree that he was out of his mind today.

Auerbach was also worried about scolding people for psychological problems, so he controlled his temper, and turned to Heinsohn, who was still smiling, to output violently.

Damn, this old smoker who is 10 out of 3 is more fucking damned than a rookie who is 25 out of 10!

"You laugh at you *#@!."

The scene was so chaotic at one point that Wei Xia wanted to find a place to fall asleep and go to the pure black world to play games.

But he couldn't fall asleep in the Celtics training hall in the 60s. The environment was too bad, so he gave up.

Seeing Heinsohn being scolded fiercely by Auerbach, he could still laugh and nod his head to admit his mistake. Wei Xia deeply felt how important it is to have a punching bag in the team.

Otherwise, Auerbach would lose 20 years of life.

With so much breath in my heart, can I not panic?

and many more!

Looking at it this way, did Jackson treat him as a punching bag?
　Heinsohn was selected by the Celtics using the regional draft rules, and he was the Rookie of the Year that year.Trivia: One of Heinsohn's classmates was a guy named Bill Russell. RIP.
