You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 576 Goal: Be the best in team history!
"Is anyone willing to fight a bull with me? Just treat it as a warm-up. Please rest assured that I will do my best. There is absolutely no one who knows how to be a good sparring partner better than me."

Wei Xia's words resounded through the arena.

Vaughan Weaver picked up his last words wittily and said: "Please rest assured that absolutely no one will want to fight your bull."

As soon as Weaver's words fell, there was a laugh of approval on the scene.

During the Lakers period, Wei Xia often served as Kobe's training partner.

If he wants a bullfight, he will fight with him. Although he will be abused to the point of embarrassment, the high-intensity dialogue with the world's strongest attacker also makes Wei Xia's single-defense ability rapidly improve.

It has to be said that Weixia's promotion from an excellent defender to a top five defender in the league in three years is closely related to Kobe.

Just like Jordan honed Pippen, Kobe also honed Wei Xia.

Wei Xia is more "lucky" than Pippen.

There was Kobe urging him on the training ground, and Zen Master urging him on the court. If there was any bad performance, Jackson must use the harshest words to make him remember clearly in the replay meeting the next day.

Few people can stand still under such high-intensity spurs, unless they are a useless person.

But if it was a useless person, Kobe and Zen Master would not spend a lot of effort to train them.

It was the three years of working with Kobe completely that Weixia developed a serious bullfighting habit. The teammates of the 76ers did not adapt. Louis Williams was the first victim and the only one in a short period of time.

Seeing Wei Xia's way of bullfighting, those who are still willing to fight with him are warriors.

At present, there is no second warrior who stands up and takes the initiative to be abused.

Matches are going on as normal.

Eddie Jordan took charge of the match today, and he assigned the head coach to the black and white team.

The head coach of the black team is Aaron McGee, and the head coach of the white team is Mike O'Koren (Mike O'Koren).He is Jordan's old partner, following Jordan from Washington to Philadelphia, can be described as his right-hand man.

Jordan personally assigned the matchup roster.

The black team represented by Wei Xia includes Hollins, Weaver, Thaddeus Young and Jason Smith.

The white team led by Iguodala is composed of Lu Wei, Speights, Holiday and Rodney Carney (Rodney Carney SF).

The black team has stronger flanks, the white team has a balanced configuration, and overall, the white team is slightly stronger.

Brand leaned to the side and watched. He didn't need to play a confrontation game, because he was the only strong point inside the 76ers. Joining any team would lead to an imbalance in combat power.

However, there was one person on the court today whose ability showed an unbalanced game.

Looking forward to seeing Eddie Jordan in a fierce battle, what I saw was how Weixia entered the state, how to beat the black team, and how to make Iguodala dumbfounded with his fiery touch.

His offense seems to be impossible to miss. No matter how his teammates put the ball in his hands, he will find a way to dispose of the ball in a few seconds.

Or decisive shooting, or clever inside, the fiery state makes him look like a player of another level.

Iguodala's defense was completely blown by him.

When Weixia still made a strong dribble shot one meter across the three-point line, Iguodala was helpless.

Lu Wei said to him: "Now you know how helpless I was just now? He is really crazy!"

Wei Xia's touch is abnormal.

Usually, he doesn't explode like this.

The 76ers' coaching staff has not seen him combine his physical fitness and shooting, and the suspense of the game has basically disappeared.

In the game between the black team and the white team, due to Wei Xia's outbreak, the suspense that should have existed disappeared.

Iguodala was beaten convincingly. It seems that the impact of the ACL tear on Weisha is only on defense. His lateral speed has dropped significantly, but everything else seems to be normal.

This is a good sign.

Eddie Jordan, who was not far away, was lost in thought while staring at the statistics of the black team and the white team.

Wei Xia is the unique core of the black team.

He only played 20 minutes of confrontation, and he scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

This is not a typical Wish profile.

Look at Iguodala again, he scored 13 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

If you don't look at offense, he is exactly the same as Wei Xia.

They all have the ability to fill up the data column.

Jordan saw some hidden worries from it.

Weixia and Iguodala seem to be the same player?
What they have in common is not position, but style of play.

Early on, Iguodala was often compared to another AI.Iverson is a point guard with a shooting guard's heart in his body; and Iguodala, who is 198 cm tall, has a point guard's soul in his shooting guard's body.

第一年，他场均33分钟里投7个篮，每场9分6篮板3助攻2抢断。

After Iverson left in 2006, the third-year Iguodala became the ace of Philadelphia. He averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game. In the fourth grade, he averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game.Star-level statistics, but his style of play seems to be a role player.

He obviously has the flying ability that shocked the world in the 2006 slam dunk contest, but he still doesn't want to be the main attacker.

It was Andre Miller of the same team, who slowly urged him to the position of leader of the 76ers.By the 2008-09 season, Iguodala reached his first peak.

He still doesn't like to create his own shots and often seems selfless, but he's a good teammate: a good young man who accepts everything and works hard.He often gives up the offensive dominance to Miller and Thaddeus Young, but he does not lack a sense of responsibility: he fills up the data sheets of rebounds, assists, and steals, and then uses his long arms and running to fill the entire space.

Go fast, break through the ball, organize the overall situation, cut into one-on-one, make strong three-pointers, face Dwight resolutely rush to fight fouls, and only rest for 3 minutes per game.

Except for the occasional counter-attack dunk and the occasional final three-pointer with blood, at other times, he would rather let his teammates, such as Lu Wei and Yang, show off.

For comparison, isn't that exactly the role Wei Xia played in the Lakers?

In the early days of the Lakers' career, Wei Xia faced a team with internal and external troubles.

He needs to handle the relationship with Kobe well, deal with the difficulties from Zen Master seriously, and do his best to live up to Los Angeles' expectations of him, "the Lakers rookie with the highest draft pick after James Worthy".

In that complicated place that cannot be described in a few words, he also used his selfless defense and the courage to unite all those who can be united to make a murderer like Sprewell give up the starting lineup.

He even deeply admires Smush Parker, who is playing the veritable god of death in the Chinese CBA league.

In three years, he transformed the Lakers.

Not with a lot of shots, nor is it a heroic performance like Kobe who can easily score 50-60 points.

It's a Buddhist like Iguodala.

The biggest difference between him and Iguodala is that he knows when it's appropriate.

He knows exactly what time to ignite himself in order to help the team.

Therefore, he will play those key performances that seem far away from Iguodala.

But in essence, they belong to the same type of player.

Wei Xia said that he wanted to become the most important player. Jordan did not doubt his ability, but he doubted his determination.

The world is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Does he really have the consciousness to completely break with the past?
At the end of a match, Wei Xia, who led the team to victory, won the recognition of the whole team.

He looks like a superstar.

Wei Xia knew that today's smooth sailing was beyond imagination.

The next day, his touch didn't last.

Not only did he not have the same feel as yesterday, but he also missed consecutive shots.

Long, short, and sideways, there are shots from various angles.

Unable to open the offensive end, Wei Xia started his old business and controlled the situation defensively.

He already has a keen sense of defense.

A player with good defensive anticipation like him has amazing reactions.Reflected on the offensive end, his timing, overall situation and patience are excellent.

In this regard, the side effect of Iguodala is that he often has open opportunities and does not shoot, always wanting to wait for better opportunities.

Wei Xia was born as a point guard, and Iguodala has his own team attributes. They are an organizer in their bones, but not a creator, but like a choreographer. It is a bit difficult to carry a team alone.

When he was in the Lakers, Wei Xia generally did not rely on holding the ball to break through, but relied on timely air cuts, standing passes, and quick releases to make the offense run smoothly.On the defensive end, he clung to his opponent step by step.

Now, if he wants to become a scoring champion like Kobe, he needs to learn from scratch.

He needs to fight his instincts and take every opportunity to learn.

Less than a month of preseason training camp is not enough.

In order to gain better athletic ability, Wei Xia dropped his weight to 98 kg and still looks strong, but his speed has become a little bit faster.

However, the lateral movement is still the same, and it seems that there is really no going back.

On media day, he wore the number 1 jersey.

The Philadelphia 76ers have a long history, and unlike the Clippers, a team that often makes jokes, there have been many superstars in history.

Wei Xia's original number 6 belongs to the great Dr.J.

Moreover, the predecessors in the history of the 76ers seem to have discussed it, but the number of the jersey is still very smooth.

The owner of the retired No. 2 jersey is "Prophet" Moses Malone.

Although the No. 3 jersey has not been retired, no one who can't count should choose it.This number has been closely linked with Allen Iverson.Just like in the Lakers, you can't take No. 8, even if it's empty, even if Kobe doesn't wear it anymore, you still can't take it, unless you think you can accomplish more than No. 8 Kobe, and endure being booed day and night by LA until you achieve this feat.

No. 4 belongs to Dolph Schayes. Although few fans remember him, he is the earliest superstar in the history of the 76ers. He was active in the 50s and entered the industry in 49. He was selected to the best team for 12 consecutive years. The 76ers, who were still called the Nationals at the time, won the first championship in team history.

Not to mention Maurice Cheeks at No. 10, Wilt Chamberlain at No. 13, etc...

The 76ers have a stellar history.

Why did Wei Xia choose No. 1?
This is also one of the questions asked by reporters on media day.

Wei Xia's answer was uncharacteristically.

Not only did he not have the short answers he had with the Lakers, but, uncharacteristically, he seemed a little arrogant.

"I want to be the best player in Philadelphia 76ers history, that's why I chose No. 1."
