You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 666 Pistol Pete
Compared with the pleasure of watching Weaver wash everyone's underwear, waiting for him to wash everyone's underwear is also suffering.

"Why do I have to do such a thing?" Weaver complained.

Wei Xia said sarcastic words: "Come on, Vaughn, this is called hard work for the capable. Look at how powerful you are, all of our underwear is under your control."

"Thank you, how about we change?" Weaver laughed at himself, "How can a mediocre person like me bear such a burden?"

"Sau Rui, this is the only thing I'm willing to bow down to." Wei Xia made up his mind not to help.

It took Weaver nearly an hour to wash everyone's underwear.Although his complaints didn't stop for a second, causing him to drink a lot of water after washing his underwear, he was serious and rigorous in doing things, which made Wei Xia regret not handing over his underwear.

It is estimated that the washing machine can't wash it so carefully, right?

Oh no, the washing machine has no heart.

"Have you seen enough?" Weaver didn't look good.

No wonder, Wei Xia actually ignored the friendship of his peers and really borderline OB all the way. At most, he only used his mouth to output, and it had no effect other than embarrassing him.Weaver almost thought that Wei Xia was making fun of himself as Kobe.

Generally only when facing Kobe, Wei Xia will appear so "harmful".

"Vaughn, I'm proud of you, and I'm relieved of your life after retirement."

"Why do you say that?"

"Assuming you don't know how to manage money and go bankrupt shortly after retiring like Latrell, I think you can find a part-time job washing underwear, plus the monthly pension issued by the league, and you can still live comfortably."

Weaver put the washed underwear into the washing machine to dry quickly, and said with a dark face, "Why do I need the washing machine to do this part-time job? Are you worthy of the inventor who worked so hard for them?"

He still has this awareness, Wei Xia really didn't expect it.

The two bickered all the way, and they separated in front of the apartment.

The team has prepared a single room for everyone. Although it is not big, it has everything you need.

The luggage brought by Wei Xia had been placed properly, and he fell asleep after calling home.

Today is no different from the past, he still walks the track of time, going back many years ago.

Boston, USA in 1970.

A brand new season is just around the corner.

There was talk of a merger between the NBA and the ABA this summer, but it was put on hold because of a bill proposed by Oscar Robertson.

The professional league is surging, but it does not affect the coming of a golden draft to the world.

The 1970 draft, no matter in what sense, was the first golden draft year in the history of the NBA and even professional basketball.

Prior to this, the previous draft conferences were basically in a state of "outstanding talent".

1950年的鲍勃·库西、1954年的鲍勃·佩蒂特、1956年的比尔·拉塞尔、1958年的埃尔金·贝勒、1960年有了大O和LOGO男这对双壁，1961年的沃尔特·贝拉米、1965年的里克·巴里、以及1968年的双壁埃尔文·海耶斯和韦斯·昂塞尔德——在1970届选秀大会之前，1968年选秀是最接近黄金选秀年定义的选秀。状元榜眼无水货，后面出了许多在ABA和NBA打上主力和全明星的球员⑴。

The 1970s were a time of talent on a different level.The top eight picks in the first round lost only one sixth pick, and superstars such as Bob Lanier, Rudy Tomjanovich, Pete Maravich, Dave Cowens, and Geoff Petrie appeared.Even, Calvin Murphy (Calvin Murphy PG rocket legend), "Elf" Nat Archibald, Charlie Scott (Charlie Scott SG/SF) and Dan Issel (Dan Issel C/PF) emerged in the back position, four superstars left in the desert⑵.

The Celtics selected the most suitable Dave Cowens for the team.

As a slightly undersized center, he is based on the foundation of the league, and it is his wildness.He is a combination of many wild players, with the rough movements of players in the 70s, Rodman's morbid obsession and obsession with rebounding, and Draymond Green's strategy of actively provoking opponents to establish psychological advantages.But he will never take the way of avoiding battles to calm things down like Garnett.

He has a famous but unverifiable story of being blown by a referee during a game.Angrily, he knocked his opponent down with a punch and roared at the referee: "This is a fucking foul!"

Cowens is emblematic of Havlicek's career.

His arrival means that Havlicek will completely escape the shadow of Bill Russell, just as Kobe will escape the shadow of Shark decades later.

In the training camp, Cowens' rough style made many people uncomfortable.

Russell has always been domineering and only uses harsh words to make people uncomfortable, but Cowens is an energy emitter.

Wherever he goes, he drives his teammates crazy until they can keep up with him.

All Havlicek has to do is tell him not to go too far.

Fortunately, Weixia in reality has been teammates with Bynum, Kobe, and Cousins.He thinks he can handle all the freaks in the world.

During the test match, Cowens elbowed him down.

Enduring the severe pain in his chest, Wei Xia stood up and shouted, "Didn't you eat? Just this little strength?"

Cowens later admitted that he was intimidated.

Wei Xia is crazy, but not a lunatic who doesn't follow the routine.At the end of the match, he immediately cooled down to let Cowens pay attention to the scale of the action next time.

Cowens also apologized.

Compared with Bynum, Cousins, and Kobe, the calm Cowens is more like a normal person, at least he is empathetic.

Although the 70s was a dilapidated era, the future of professional leagues was bleak, and social problems continued. Anti-war, anti-racism and feminist movements all emerged during this period.

But at the same time, the NBA is turning into a business league that players in the 60s couldn't imagine.

Wei Xia can get his own answer from the Celtics' many changes.

That night, he came to the arena and chose a match at random.

The arena is out of sync with the old days, and he could, in theory, pick any match in Havlicek's career.If he needs a sense of urgency, he will choose the fierce playoffs. If he needs to find the feeling of the game, then any regular season can satisfy it.

"Kamang Hondo!"

The venue of the game is the old Boston Garden, which Wei Xia has already seen through the structure of the locker room.

As the level of competition in the league is getting higher and higher, each team has changed their arena, and all the facilities that can be updated have been updated.

After Brown's death, the Celtics' bosses changed frequently, but none of them intended to change their home court.Some don't want to pay, and some want to follow tradition.All Celtics owners are attracted by the team's championship tradition. The floor of the Old Garden and the flag flying above prove everything.

So, they have been using the old garden.

Even if this ghost place has become the most anti-human away game in the league.

The person who called out to Wei Xia was Don Chaney, a common 70D player in the 2s.Solid shooting, solid defense, and full of energy.

This gentleman also likes to perform stunts, so before the start of every game, everyone asks him to do somersaults on the spot.

"Come one, Don!" someone booed.

Cheney immediately turned over and made a somersault, causing the locker room to cheer one after another.

The only one who couldn't get used to it was Don Nelson. He frowned and shook his head: "I don't even understand what you people are getting excited about!"

Wei Xia smiled while thinking about today's opponent.

He quickly thought of - the Atlanta Hawks.

Through Havlicek's memory, Wei Xia has a general understanding of this Eagles teammate.

Like the Celtics, they got the most wanted player in the 1970 draft -- "Pistol" Pete Maravich.

Wei Xia didn't know much about Maravich, or in other words, he didn't know anything about him before.When Havlicek's memory led him to learn that the Pistols had averaged 44.2 points over their three-year college career, he was stunned.

However, the contemporary era is not like the later generations. Questions about pistols have never stopped.

He could score well, but he never led his team to the national championship.But how did a guy who didn't make it to the national championships make it into the NCAA's 20 Greatest Basketball Players?
Perhaps it has something to do with his statistics. Maravich's scoring average in the NCAA is like Chamberlain's 50 points per game. The longer time passes, the harder it is to surpass.

Maravich is definitely a phenomenal college superstar. Although he has never made it to the national competition, it also has something to do with the era and teammates.The University of Louisville (hereinafter referred to as LSU) where he is located is scarce in talent, and there are giants like Kentucky in the division.Due to the weak strength of the division to which it belongs, only one team can enter the national competition each year.In his senior season, Maravich brought LSU to the second place in the league, but still missed the national championship.

His teammates who were quite critical of his large number of shots also showed the attitude of "I and Kobe scored 80 points together" in interviews in the 100s. As they grew older, they could understand the Maravich father and son at that time.

A proven cornerstone player, Maravich sparked a frenzy in the NBA and ABA.For the favor of the two major alliances, he showed absolute calmness: the highest price wins.

A year ago, the ABA wanted to use a 100 million contract to attract Abdul-Jabbar to join.

However, only one year later, or because of Maravich's second-generation goal as a white man, both sides easily broke through last year's bottom line.

McCann was stupid last year, and then suddenly felt that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was not worth 100 million.This year, the main contending teams are the Hawks and New York Nets.Although the Nets are located in New York, they are not as rich and powerful as the Eagles. Therefore, Maravich and the Eagles signed a five-year rookie contract of 5 million that shocked the league.

Looking at Maravich from a distance, Wei Xia couldn't help being attracted by the other's weird hairstyle and delicate face.

I saw him standing one step inside the three-point line of later generations, and his shooting action was that the ball was held up from the side instead of from the front, just like the protagonist in a western film picking up a revolver and shooting.

"Shh!"

"It seems that tonight's game must be very interesting." Wei Xia thought to himself.

⑴ Dashuai Zhang entered the league through the regional draft, so it does not count.

(10) There are 5 All-Stars in the draft, 6-1984 of which are superstars. What is the concept?If it weren't for the lack of a phenomenon-level super giant in the top ten levels in history, it can be compared with 1996 and [-].

([-]) The first generation is Cousy, and the third generation is Bird.
