You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 588 That Incomplete Corner

Wei Xia completed the most important things at the beginning of the off-season.

Naturalized in China, draw lots on behalf of the team.

Now, in addition to waiting for the end of the season to help the team evaluate rookies and provide advice, there is nothing else to do.

In addition to training all day long, I just watch the situation of the playoffs.

He hoped that the Lakers, who had quickly fallen, were rushing to the finals with an unstoppable momentum.

It is not easy to be able to play this power in this year's Western Conference.

The top eight in the West all have at least 50 wins.The only surprise is that the Spurs' biggest offseason signing in team history -- the introduction of Richard Jefferson -- didn't work out.

They are out of character with Jefferson, and they haven't worked out the feeling. They will win 50 games and keep the record of 1999 consecutive victories since 50.

The Spurs are rusty, the Mavericks are basically synonymous with no tenacity in the playoffs, and the Suns are worrying about their combat effectiveness as Nash ages. There is no team that can stop the Lakers from advancing.

In contrast, the East is much more interesting.

Regular season MVP LeBron James led the Cavaliers straight to the Eastern Conference finals, and fought the old-fashioned Celtics to the fifth game-this live broadcast watched by Wei Xia.

In the first half, the Cavaliers used LeBron to defend against Rondo 0, and then let Anthony Parker defend against Pierce, Mo Williams against Ray Allen and Jamison against Garnett. These three points had no arrangement, except for the matchup itself.

They did this as if they believed that Parker could guard Pierce, that Mo could withstand Junzi Lei, and that Jamison was suddenly possessed by God and carried Garnett.

That is of course delusional.

In the second half, the Cavaliers hurriedly transferred Mo back to defend Rondo, and Mike Brown changed the lineup on the spot and admitted defeat.

The entire league knows that fighting the Celtics at a slow pace and half-court offense and defense will lead to a difficult battle.

To play against them, you have to do this: offensive rebounds, acceleration, athletic ability to cut inside, a lot of switching sides to move the ball to open up space-is it difficult?No.

The Cavaliers just didn't do that.

Were the Celtics better in 2008 than they are today?not necessarily.How did the Cavaliers get to Game 39?West started, Varejao and Big Z's frontcourt.All three played a combined [-] minutes tonight.

However, it is understandable that West and Mother Zhan have an affair, and Big Z and Varejao are not in good health.

From Wei Xia's point of view, low-level problems such as making mistakes in on-the-spot arrangement and changing teams immediately without giving players a chance to relax can be forgiven. The most unforgivable mistake of Mike Brown is that he did not throw James, who was inexplicably suspicious of life, inexplicably invisible, and inexplicably inaction, to the bench.

Look at how McHale treats the core players who are in a daze.

Did you find out, the biggest commonality in this matter is that both of them are named James.

Vershaw witnessed the worst game of James' career -- as of 2010.

With this battle, he found that James is easy to hide things in his heart. They are two completely different players.James has been the core and leader from the very beginning, and there is a lot to consider. Wei Xia is by Kobe's side and only focuses on his own performance, regardless of others.

He was thinking too much!

On the defensive end, the rotation missed people. Since the second half of the season, the long-distance two-point jumper that has continued to fail to make shots, watched the offense from the bottom corner, and did not even touch the ball for a few rounds in the fourth quarter.No fight, no anger, not even the look of self-hate when he got to the free throw line in Game [-].After the whole game, only two backcourt rebounds in the second quarter showed that he still cared about this game.

His downturn is reminiscent of his future.

Like Joe Johnson, Bosh and others, he is ambiguous about the future.

He refused to say no to New York, thinking carefully.

Maybe Cleveland fans will think, "Ah, he's just trying to keep the team tight," and "Well, at least he's trying to win."

It doesn't matter, isn't Wade also being fantasized by Chicagoans?
Or "forget it, his teammates/coaches are terrible" Since 2006, these excuses have been valid, but they don't apply to this game.

Watch Wade in the first round: Is Miami on track to win?No; are his teammates better than LeBron?not.

But he fought to the end like a warrior, and acted as a stuntman as a superstar.

In the past, James has shown similar scenarios many times.

Game 2006 of the Eastern Conference semifinals in [-];
The third game of the 2007 finals;

Game 2008 of the Eastern Conference semifinals in [-];
He averaged 38 points in the entire series with the Magic last season.Every time he is like a god, making his fans truly believe that only the new generation of No. 23 can surpass No. 23 and make the ghost of No. 23 completely disappear from the league.

Maybe no one really can surpass that person, but if you have to find a promising person, the standard answer is LeBron James.

Originally, this game was a big stage specially prepared for him.Back home. 2 to 2.The Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Although it was reported that he had an elbow injury before the game, if he held back the pain and gritted his teeth, the injury would only become the material for biographical praise many years later.

例如1997年总决赛第五场的乔丹、1970年总决赛第七场的里德、2002年西部决赛的科比、2008年总决赛第一场的皮尔斯、2008年总决赛第七场的韦夏。

He carries the expectations of the city and David Stern (23 vs 24).

A good game makes a classic.

In the third quarter, as the point differential slowly crumbled from 10 to 20, he wandered the court in disbelief, seemingly unaware that the rout would tarnish his entire career.

If this is his last game in Cleveland, does he deserve the city and have the face to go around and say, "I'm a little boy from Akron"?
James, as someone who has and plans to leave his name in bold in NBA history, has no right to make excuses.

Did Big Z and Varejao play with injuries for such a result?

Did Cleveland accumulate strength year after year for such a shameful defeat?

Don't even compare Jordan or Bird, look at his opponents, how focused Garnett is, Ray Allen's effort for every shot and Pierce's fearless murderousness, even Tony Allen and Glen Davis' fighting quality is far better than him.

After the game, Barkley said unceremoniously: "LeBron still doesn't wear No. 23. MJ never falls down early before running out of ammunition and food."

I do not know either.

Wei Xia, who saw with his own eyes how James played the quitter in a key game and heard Barkley say this with his own ears, responded in his heart.

He turned off the live broadcast.

It's like he can't believe James backed down in such a crucial game.

"What are you thinking?" Elaine asked.

Wei Xia said: "I was thinking, is it true that no matter how strong people are, they have weaknesses?"

"Like what?" Elaine asked.

"Kobe's weakness is paranoia and ego. He achieved this, but he also ruined the OK dynasty because of it." Weisha looked at the notebook that had been closed by him, "LeBron's weakness. He looks like the most perfect player in history. He can do everything."

Elaine asked, "If he can do everything, what do other people do?"

"That's the problem." Wei Xia said, "Too perfect is also a shortcoming."

Moreover, Wei Xia is very sure that pursuing perfection, pursuing comprehensiveness, and pursuing James who has no dead ends, at this moment and in the future, he will look forward and backward at critical junctures.

As a player, the talent he possesses is almost perfect.

He can match all the words that have something to do with talent.

But he was missing one more thing.

Probably the most important one too.

That's what separates Bill Russell from Wilt Chamberlain.

Going back and forth to the old time every night, the biggest help to Wei Xia is to compare superstars across eras besides an extra day for training and games.

Over the years, he found that the mentality and elements of the past and present superstars have not changed.

Again, Chamberlain is Chamberlain.

Russell is still Russell.

One who played the role of a quitter for 90% of his career⑴.

Another one who has been winning championships since high school and can almost equate the word "winner" with him is the number one winner in history.

James will not become a frequently defeated general like Chamberlain, Wei Xia believes that there will be fierce collisions between them in the future.

He only hopes that the 76ers can complete the reconstruction as soon as possible.

Then, Wei Xia suddenly remembered that the 76ers were still the bottom-ranked team in the East, and he actually YY will do what he will do when he plays against James in the future.

"I'm so ambitious." Wei Xia laughed at himself.

([-]) If it is said that there are few NBA champions, Chamberlain can be explained by using two fists and four hands, then how can he explain that he did not win the championship in high school and college?With his talent, both high school and college should be devastating, but he never won a championship before entering the NBA, not once.On the other hand, Russell, high school is full of championship resumes, two NCAA champions, Olympic champions, and NBA champions needless to say.
