You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 676 It Was His First
Many people said that the 76ers' victory was not a typical victory.

They are facing an old team that has not been well-adjusted at all. This statement is somewhat reasonable.

No one wants to believe that Kevin Garnett in Game [-] is Kevin Garnett today.

Garnett himself said: "I have never encountered such a situation."

The victory of Game 1 in the regular season brought Wei Xia and the others a lot of attention.

The reporter asked a question: "Are you aiming to hit the finals this year?"

The starting point of the reporter's question is that after Wei Xia joined the 76ers, the team's performance has improved year after year. For example, in his first year with the 76ers, the team did not make the playoffs.In the second year, he lost to the top Bulls in the semifinals; in the third year, he lost to the Big Three, the Heat who dispelled the demons; in the fourth year, he lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

许多喜欢所谓“传承”和“经典”的评论员，认为76人会像当年的公牛一样，经历了1比4、2比4和3比4的惨败之后，最终涅槃为凰。

There is no shortage of supporters for this statement, and everyone loves coincidences.

Wei Xia dismissed this; "Every year a champion is born, I hope this year is us."

"Are you ready for the championship?"

"I have the experience of winning the championship, so I can't talk about preparation or non-preparation." Wei Xia said. "However, this was five years ago and I'm going to look forward.

It is a well-known fact that Wei Xia regards the title of the 2008-09 season championship as air. The official gave him the title and honor of two championships. The Lakers also recognized his status as a champion member. When he represented the 2008ers in Los Angeles in 76, he also got his own ring.

What happened to that ring?
He originally wanted to donate it, but his elder brother Wei Qiu went to follow the principle of not letting the money go to outsiders.

Wei Xia still has the 2008 championship ring, which is one of the most wonderful memories in his life. He paid his blood and sweat for this ring and ruined the Lakers' career.But the result is beautiful, Weixia dares to bet that Elgin Baylor also wants a ring of his own at ten times the price.

Many players regard Baylor as the most unlucky guy in NBA history, because he has been fighting against Kyle all his life. The process is even more exasperating, and the ending is never sweet.The scoring list was suppressed by Wilt Chamberlain at his peak, and the Celtics suppressed the honor roll. In 1972, he felt old and weak, and retired after playing 11 games, but the team won the championship dramatically.Well, the last bit of benefit will not fall on him, does that mean?

Baylor may indeed be the unluckiest man in NBA history, but it would be wrong to say he didn't get a ring.

According to regulations, even if he only played one game for that Lakers team, he is still part of the championship team. Even if he is traded, the aliens take him away, or even give the Lakers boss a green light, the team will give him a ring. What's more, Baylor played 11 games, and his contribution to that Lakers team is even far higher than Wei Xia's contribution to the 09 Lakers.

But it is not their fault that players can ignore the hard science that Baylor has no championship in his life, because Baylor himself doesn't take the ring that came from him seriously.

This is a matter of dignity and honor.

Whatever is given for free, don’t worry about it.

That's what it means.

At this time, he reiterated that the last time he won the championship was in 2008, and there were no reporters to correct him.

The reporter continued to ask: "What do you think is different this season from the past?"

"Except for me, everyone else is a year older, we are stronger."

"Except for you?"

The reporter did not understand.

Wei Xia laughed at himself: "I am one year older."

Unknowingly, age has become an important consideration for Wei Xia.

If he wins the championship next year, he will be 30 years old.

It's not too late to usher in the second NBA championship ring at the age of 30.Of course, he can't compare with Kobe, who won 23 rings before the age of 3, and he can't compare with James, who can take the initiative to choose the right path for himself. It seems that he can't compare with Jordan, so let's compare with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was 24 years old when he won the first ring, and the second ring will have to wait.

After wasting nine years, he waited for his true destiny.

Ushering in the second ring at the age of 33 is undoubtedly a harmful thing for him.

Now, Wei Xia is 29 years old, and he has a strong hunch that he doesn't have to wait any longer.

In the second game, the 76ers played against the Washington Wizards.

One side wants to win, the other side wants to lose, and they want to lose decently.

The 76ers gave them respect.

The specific method is to control the playing time of the main players, and Jay Wright doesn't know enough about Cousins.

He thought that Cousins ​​was just being nervous in private, but he was just as nervous on the court.

Wizards center Gortat confronted him at the basket, and with a good ball, he insisted on reaching out for his armpit.

"Hey! Hey!" Cousins ​​yelled. "He elbowed me!"

Originally, Gortat just touched him lightly, and when he heard his call, he simply threw a big iron elbow with all his strength.

Wei Xia was stunned. When he was in the Lakers, he often saw Kobe give such a blow to the opponent suddenly.But that's Kobe, where did Gortat come from?Is Kobe's elbow called an elbow?That's when the opponent used a certain part of the body to violate his cylinder without knowing the time. Gortat would be fucking outrageous if he didn't give a flagrant foul.

What's even more outrageous is that Cousins' first reaction was not to fight back but to appeal to the referee.

The referee didn't know whether his eyesight was bad or he didn't see it at all. He insisted on giving Cousins ​​a defensive foul for such an obvious elbow.

When Cousins ​​saw that the referee didn't care, he let go of his hands and feet completely, and the next round would be smashed by Gortat, who was grabbing a rebound.

"Beep beep!"

Second level malicious foul!

Cousins ​​was ejected on the spot and was automatically suspended for the next game.

Now, Wei Xia has reason to suspect that the referee didn't have bad eyesight, they just put a magnifying glass on Cousins.

The same elbow strike, Gortat is at most "I miss you" between couples playing hardcore communication, while Cousins ​​is much more rough. This skill shows that Rocco Schifferdi's works have been browsed too much, and he can't control himself. He wants to send someone to the ICU.

Cousins ​​had many question marks, and Wright stared at him more troubledly than his questions: "Are you crazy?"

Cousins ​​waved his elbow aggrievedly, "I didn't do it first!"

"That's right, it's all started by others, you are the most innocent!" Hayward, who was resting, fanned the flames.

"Which side are you on?" Cousins ​​growled as he exited the court.

Hayward has Wright by his side, and his statement is tough: "I am on the side of justice!"

Cousins ​​went off the field and was suspended for Game3. The Wizards lost pressure on the inside and played an easy game with the 76ers.

76ers assistant coach Aaron McGee inexplicably felt that everything became harmonious after Cousins ​​was off the court.

After that, the 76ers won the game smoothly and reaped the victory. The Wizards lost by 14 points, which made them faceable.

Cousins ​​appears to be the only loser in the campaign.

His emotional management issues, his maturity, and his professionalism were once again questioned by the media.

"It was the Poles who made the first move!"

Cousins ​​insisted that the replay of the video can also give him innocence, but the league cannot hold him accountable for what the referee judged.

After all, being able to avoid the sight of the referee on the spot is also a skill.

Cousins ​​​​is absent, Game3, the 76ers encountered challenges in the game.

Compared with the lack of core players, the problem of the Bulls is more serious. Since Derrick Rose encountered ACL, they have been waiting, transforming, and taking the opportunity to pick a few good players to help Rose or maintain a distinguished status as a strong team.

The timely rise of French center Joakim Noah made the Bulls quickly make a decision.

Last season, Rose was absent for a whole year. He averaged 12 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks per game, which is already a bright spot in this era of declining centers.

Cousins' statistics are much better than his, but in terms of the role of the team and the support of the system, it is far inferior to Noah.

Noah's free-throw line support and one-step dribble point are two of the top levels in history. In addition to support, his rebounding, screens, and defense are all among the best.His biggest question is the offensive end. At the critical moment, he is not a killer like Rose. Even outside the inside dunk, all the goals seem to be blocked-these include continuous jumps to fill the offensive rebounds, cross-legged mid-range shots and layups that look like slipping hands.

But today, he faced the 76ers who had no insiders, which kept the Bulls extremely competitive.

If it weren't for Wei Xia's superstar-level offensive and defensive capabilities at the critical moment, the 76ers would have swallowed their first defeat of the season.

The three-game winning streak has not come easily, and the importance of Cousins ​​​​to the 76ers' inside line is self-evident.

Fortunately, he was only suspended for one game.
