You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 595 I am so sorry
The 76ers' training camp is located in Lake City, Columbia County, Florida.

Lake City is the capital of Colombia. The reason why they chose this place as the training camp is mainly due to environmental issues.

Lake City is more suitable for this group of tall and burly professional players to spend half a month in suspense.

Those who participated in the training camp first gathered in Philadelphia, and then took the team's special plane to Lake City.

On the way from Philadelphia to Lake City by plane, Wesha listened to a radio broadcast.

Not surprisingly, there have been countless non-basketball anchors who have taken the initiative to bring up James' departure from Cleveland recently.

What the anchor mentioned today is something that many people have overlooked, but from now on, it is not an insignificant event.

In 2004, James, who had just finished his rookie season, lost Carlos Boozer, who should have been his best helper, that summer.

Now it seems that the series of events between Boozer and the Cavaliers is somewhat nonsensical.

The Cavaliers voluntarily waived Boozer's team option, risking him becoming a completely unrestricted free agent, just to show their sincerity.

Boozer took advantage of this, rushing to sign a six-year deal with the Utah Jazz for $6800 million in free agency, and cheating Cleveland's benevolent, blind owners in the process.

Look what happened after that: Boozer blossomed into an All-Star power forward, a top-20 player in the league, and should have been the perfect partner for LeBron James.Since Boozer left Cleveland, that ended up leaving the Cavaliers with huge cap space... well...

That space traded for the signings of Larry Hughes, Damon Jones and Donyell Marshall.

Ouch.If they keep Boozer and sign Jones at the same time, the Cavaliers could become the first NBA team since the Fort Wayne Pistons in 1953 to have two players with visible chest hair.

At the same time, with the support of a peak All-Star teammate who can stretch the floor, maybe James won't leave.

Of course, just maybe.

When the 76ers arrived at the training camp set up for them by Lake City, they were shocked by the advanced equipment inside.

You can see that there is a whole set of training teams inside.

Wesha had seen something similar in Jim Bass's private domain back then, so he wasn't particularly surprised now.Seeing that his teammates looked like they had never seen the world, he secretly thanked Jim Buss for allowing him to have cutting-edge training equipment a few years earlier than other NBA players.

Many people don't know why he has improved so fast in the Lakers, which is inseparable from the help of many parties.

The pressure from the Zen master, Kobe's not always useful words and deeds, the support of little Bass, the old days, and Wei Xia's own hard work.

Now in the new environment, there is no pressure from the Zen master, no help from Kobe and Bass Jr., and we have to rely on ourselves in all aspects.

The chief assistant brought by the new coach, Brian James, asked the players participating in the training camp to first settle in the single apartment arranged by the team.

Wei Xia went outside his apartment with his luggage alone.

I don't know if his apartment number is a coincidence or someone made it on purpose - 5169.

5169?

51?

69?

He hates 69!Wei Xia just wanted to apply for another apartment, but he heard his neighbor next door laughing: "Hahaha! I really didn't mean you, your room number is so fucking amazing!"

The one who laughed out loud regardless of his feelings was DeMarcus Cousins, their rookie of the year and the team's future big man.

Wei Xia met him, but Cousins ​​hadn't recognized him when he was pretending to be a reporter.

So, in Cousins' mind, this is the first time the two of them have met.

I ran into such a funny stalk when we first met, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Cousins ​​laughed for five minutes and didn't stop listening.

"Is it that funny?" Wei Xia felt that Cousins' room number "58" was not a particularly harmonious number. Although he had no evidence to prove his point of view, he cursed Cousins—cursing that his room number would become an ominous number in the future!

It is said that prayers made by devout people usually come true.

Although Wei Xia is a materialist, this time he can't help but ideally hope that the non-existent gods will fulfill his wish.

"Isn't the most important thing about being a human being is to laugh when you want?" Cousins ​​asked heartlessly while laughing, "Aren't you going to be angry?"

Looks like there's no need to change apartments.

The management arranged for him and Cousins ​​to be neighbors must hope to improve their understanding of each other.

Just like when McGrady first arrived in Houston, the Rockets thought of a bad idea: lock the two of them in the same room for one night.As a result, Yao Ming, who was funny and humorous to reporters, still had the reserved and shy East Asians in private, and McGrady himself was not familiar with his personality, so the two of them said one sentence in one night-"It's a pleasure to meet you."

But Wei Xia and Cousins ​​​​are destined not to be so embarrassed, because they have already chatted before they lived in the apartment.

"Wayne is my last name, you can call me Wish, or you can call me Felix."

Wei Xia briefly introduced himself.

"Just call me Boge." Cousins ​​introduced his nickname confidently.

Wei Xia checked the origin of his nickname before, and it was called by a teammate of Cousins ​​in college.The teammate felt that Cousins ​​was as flexible as a snake when attacking, so he yelled "unruly" and "unruly".

Wei Xia condensed what he wanted to say, only briefly introduced himself, and then entered his bachelor apartment with his luggage.

Wei Xia only carried a few things with him.

Laptops are useful for surfing the Internet.

Snacks are useful when you are hungry.

One set of formal clothes, three sets of pajamas, five sets of short-sleeved shorts, ten pairs of underwear, and other small items that may be needed.

When he came to Lake City for training, he had no intention of doing anything unrelated to training.

Putting things away, Wei Xia quickly changed into blue shorts and short sleeves, and put a white knee pad on his left foot.

It's a habit he picked up after tearing his ACL.

The doctor said that the knee pads can only serve as a buffer. In the event of an injury, the knee pads cannot protect the knees. Moreover, this thing is like some addictive food or drink. Once you get used to it, you can't take it off.

Since then, the white knee pad has been fixed on Wei Xia's left knee.

His face would change, his body would change, his haircut would change, but one thing remained constant, the white knee pad on his left foot.

Elaine later suggested that he switch to brighter-colored knee pads.

The answer I got was Huang Bao: "I'm used to this color, just like you are used to my shape."

To Wei Xia, saying such words has already shocked Elaine severely, and she has never mentioned similar things since then.

After Wei Xia changed his clothes, he walked out of the room. When passing by 5158, he found Cousins' door open.

He opened the door, opened the suitcase and rummaged around, not knowing what he was looking for.

"Need help?" Wei Xia gently knocked on the door.

"Don't!" Cousins ​​yelled sharply, "Don't come in!"

Because of his scream, Wei Xia's feet that were about to step through the door were suspended in the air, and he was as motionless as a sculpture: "Why?"

"Because I haven't allowed you to enter my room yet!" Cousins ​​stood up like a burglar and blocked Wei Xia's sight and continued to peek at his suitcase, "You have to respect my privacy, Wish!"

Compared with respecting Cousins' privacy, Wei Xia privately thought it was more inappropriate for Cousins ​​to let him stand outside the door with one foot dangling like this.

"Sau Rui, I will never let others know that you have a funny dog's head on your little black underwear." Wei Xia said, "You can trust me."

Cousins ​​broke down: "You can see this?"

"Sau Rui, I wasn't sure if it was a dog's head, but you confirmed it for me." Wei Xia smiled happily, "You are so big and you can wear this kind of underwear? It's so cute."

At this time, Wei Xia's left foot was still hanging in the air.

For Cousins, hearing the head of his new team call him "cute" was never a good thing.

He felt that his status in the team was being seriously challenged. He admitted that Wei Xia was the boss, but the boss couldn't make fun of him so casually. He didn't want to be ravaged by veterans like a typical rookie.

"Anyway, you still violated my privacy!" Cousins ​​decided to go online.

"Really? But I have already apologized." After all, he was raised by an English woman, and he had already said "Saury" twice before Cousins ​​asked him to apologize.

Cousins ​​was right when he thought about it, but he was not reconciled, and his feet were shaking with annoyance.

"Moreover, I shouldn't take full responsibility. You didn't close the door after you entered. I just asked you out of curiosity. As for accidentally peeping into your privacy, you are also to blame. You are too close to the door. The urge to pry into other people's privacy is written into our DNA. This is instinct and uncontrollable." Wei Xia said this, and demanded with reason, "So, I think you should also apologize to me for your carelessness."

Cousins ​​has a bit of a bad temper, quick temper, impatient, unforgiving and doesn't listen to your reasoning at all.

Cousins ​​is a little bit good. If you can calm him down, he can listen to the truth.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with it."

Cousins ​​shouted vividly, "Sorry! Sorry!! Sorry!!! I am so sorry!!!"
