You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 662 You are on vacation!

When Wei Xia was worried about not reaching the final, the old John Havlicek was worried about the sinking of the Celtics.

In 1969, Bill Russell and Sam Jones retired together with the first and second championships in history. Havlicek led the team alone and struggled to support it.

In the draft that year, a dominant rookie made the NBA and the ABA overwhelmed.

The ABA is a threatening opponent to the NBA. It has a more popular and performing style of play than the NBA, an endless stream of gothic non-mainstream hairstyles, and the life of various unfortunate childhood players.Of course, when it comes to childhood misfortune, NBA players are also true. For all black players, most of them are the bitter stories of their fathers disappearing at the beginning, and their mothers working several jobs to raise their children.

The owners of the NBA really felt the threat, so in the next few years, they frantically expanded the army to dilute the stars of the league, and regarded every talented college student as a collection in the auction house. As another top giant talent following Russell and Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's heart became the most intense venue in the dog licking contest that summer.

From any perspective, the ABA has the advantage in this battle, and the reasons are simple: Kareem wants to play closer to home, Kareem wants to start his career in a big city to make himself more popular, the NBA has the Milwaukee Bucks, and the ABA has the New York Nets.

Jabbar's agent thought of an idea, that is, to meet with each of the two companies, and show them all what they have in mind, to see who has better conditions.

At that time, the top leader of the New York Nets, basketball fans are no strangers.Although many basketball fans' grandpas have never seen him play, he is definitely one of the most well-known of the many ancient superstars-George Mikan.

The details of this negotiation are disclosed in the biographies of many writers and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's personal autobiography "In Giant's Footsteps".After discussing with his subordinates, McCann decided to send Abdul-Jabbar a check for $100 million as soon as they met, to prove that they were not short of money and to show their absolute sincerity.

But, when negotiating, McCann forgot the million-dollar check in his pocket when negotiating-is this an operation that humans can do? ——He forgot about that operation, and then gave Kareem Abdul-Jabbar an "insulting offer", and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar left angrily: "I will never play for the ABA!"

In this way, with the help of the first NBA superstar Mikan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar chose Milwaukee.

The draft in 1969 is very similar to the draft in 50 2019 years later.New fans know that it was basically a draft that took Fat Tiger away and the rest was boring. It was the same in 1969. Just 50 years ago, the two major leagues fought for the joining of Alcindor. This emperor star finally shined in the NBA and served as a bridge across the chaotic 70s.

The Celtics, who lost the elder Xuanming, still have the spark of rebirth.

Auerbach used the ninth pick in the first round to select Jo Jo White PG, the second-best player in 1969.

In the first season without Russell in 13 years, Havlicek led the team to 34 wins, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference.Do you think this number is okay?To add, there were only seven teams in the Eastern Conference at the time.

During the season, Havlicek surpassed Kerry, averaging 22+8+6 per game and shooting 46% from the field, but the team that entered the rebuilding did not reach the level of entering the playoffs.

In desperation, Havlicek sprayed his teammates for the first time in his career.

"This is the most speechless team I've ever been on! If you can't even understand the most basic tactics, you shouldn't be playing in this league!"

Havlicek is like Wei Xia in 2010, fighting alone, becoming the boss of the team for the first time in his career, with unlimited firepower.

The only difference is that Wei Xia's mentality is well controlled.

However, the circumstances of the two of them are different and cannot be generalized.

Havlicek has never lost since entering the league, so he may not be able to accept long-term losses for a while, or even make the playoffs.After Wei Xia entered the league, he and Kobe had been working hard outside the finals for two years before he had a chance to compete for the championship. It was his turn to lead the team. He had just recovered from a torn ACL and knew he should not be in a hurry.

Therefore, while using unlimited firepower to hone his offensive skills, he also cultivated his leadership skills.

After a failed season, Havlicek saw the light.

He is like Wei Xia, after a failed season that did not even make the playoffs, he waited for his assistant.

Just as the 76ers selected Cousins, the Celtics selected Dave Cowens in 1971.

1971 was like the 50 draft 2021 years later. Before it even started, teams knew it was going to be a class full of talent.

Facts have proved that the 1971 draft produced a large number of talents, Cowens became the MVP a few years later, and only one of the top eight players in the first round of this draft became a parallel importer.

Havlicek's bad days are over, and Versia is happy for him.

In reality, he was extremely busy, but in the old days, he had so much time that he was speechless.

Because the Celtics didn't make the playoffs, Havlicek took a vacation in April.

Wei Xia trained according to his realistic training plan.Havlicek's body shape has changed significantly, and Wei Xia himself has also benefited.

When he woke up, Wei Xia only felt that the training time was not enough.

He has been training hard since the end of the season, but time is tight. In addition to special training, he also needs to keep in touch with the national team. This year, the national team has changed to a European coach called Janakis, a Greek...a stubborn old man who doesn't want players on the team to play big names, and Wei Xia insists on playing this big game, insisting that he will not reconcile with the team until mid-July.

It is understandable for Yannakis to be anxious. The start date of this year's Asian Championships is earlier than previous ones.

Wei Xia returned to the team in mid-July, and the start date of the Asian Championships is August [-]st.

When Wei Xia returned to the team, they only had one or two regular season runs-in.

Therefore, Yannakis is not saying that the new official has three fires. He is really anxious. After all, Wei Xia is the chief player of the Chinese team.It can be said that he is the guarantee of performance, and now he has not returned to the team for a long time, and the system cannot be adjusted.

But Wei Xia is not playing big cards, he really has too many things to do.

In addition to personal special training, he also needs to talk about contract renewal. In addition, the scope of the 76ers' new head coach candidate circle has been determined, and one of them is inextricably linked with him.

Wei Xia is exhausted.

Yanarsky began to "phone bombard" Wei Xia, urging him to return to the team every day.

At this time, Hu Jiashi, the leader of the national team, reported the situation to the Basketball Association.

The Basketball Association came forward and thought of an idea.

This was an idea that caught Yanaschi and Wei Xia by surprise: Wei Xia had a holiday and did not have to participate in this year's Asian Championships.

Wei Xia didn't understand what the men of the Basketball Association thought, and neither did Jannaski.

The guess of the fans is that the top four results in the London Olympics have inflated the confidence of the top management. After all, without Wei Xia, the Chinese team is also the strongest in Asia.

Could it be that without Wei Xia, they can't dominate in Asia?
Isn't this funny?
Wei Xia can be said to be a divine soldier from heaven. Unplanned strong support is naturally the best. If not, of course you have to find a way by yourself.People are busy now, and the national team's competition is not the kind of World Series that must be attended, but the Asian Championships to qualify for next year's World Championships. As long as they reach the top four in the Asian Championships, they will be eligible.

Look, it doesn't even take a champion to win the entry.

The championship is of course necessary, and the Basketball Association is also confident. After all, this is a team that reached the semi-finals in the Olympics.Could it be that the Asian Championships can't even be done without one person?
It turns out that it really can't be done without one person.

The team of the men's basketball team is still dominated by the semi-finals of the London Olympics. This team itself is prepared for Yao Huang, and the talents are cultivated according to a specific way.

They are all veterans, one status per year.

Last year, we reached the semi-finals together with Wei Xia. Everyone contributed, but this year's situation is special.

2013 is the year of the National Games in China. To a certain extent, they are all the treasures of their respective provincial sports bureaus. They usually have no task to come to the national team to compete to win glory for the country. Now that the National Games is coming, everyone has their own little Jiujiu in their hearts.

Since the leaders of the Basketball Association decided to let Wei Xia rest, it was doomed to the end of this men's basketball team in the Asian Championships.
