You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 714 Limit 1 for 0
Before the arrival of Rajon Rondo, the Spurs' strengths were the 76ers' weaknesses.

Their tactical quality, ball transfer, and offensive fluency are second to none in the league.After Rondo joined, the fluency of the 76ers' game is still not comparable to that of the Spurs, but it is much better.

The composition of the Spurs is complex, and each of them fits the team's 101 hammer culture and is willing to make sacrifices for the team.

They played a 12-man rotation in four games before, and all 12 people on the court scored, assisted and rebounded.

This is true "egalitarianism".

It is not the egalitarianism that will occupy the position of head coach based on the seniority of the parents in the future, but squeeze the growth space of new stars on the grounds of being average.That kind of doctrine is not average, and it is not worth advocating, because for weak teams, cultivating new stars and making them progress faster is the top priority.

There is only one Leonard on the Spurs team who is considered a new star.Leonard, on the other hand, was born as a 3D wing, based on defense, and his skills were supplemented year by year by the Spurs' development coaches.Since the whole team is confused about the ethos of selflessness, it is not necessarily a bad thing to control his shot rights and let him grow slowly.

The long board of the 76ers also happens to be the biggest short board of the Spurs at present.

They have the most outstanding offensive ability in the league. Wei Xia is No.1 in individual combat. Cousins ​​​​is the only dominant pure center. Hayward is surrounded by the first two, but give him the ball and let him fight alone. He can also surprise you.

It is these differences that make the 76ers a team like the Thunder, but more mature and stable than the Thunder.

You can't beat the Spurs playing tactical ball.

Because they have a group of old goblins, and their average golf quotient may be the first in the league. To deal with these stable old men, the superstars blast them in one direction and beat them into chaos, so they have a chance.

Wei Xia did exactly that.

The Spurs asked Leonard, the team's best defender, to defend. Wei Xia's answer was to score 39 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists under Leonard's defense.

Cousins ​​pulled a stride against Duncan. After one game, he also had 21 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.

Rondo's main task tonight is to escort the Big Three in the team, with 3 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists.

Driven by them, the 76ers gained an advantage in the first half, established a victory in the third quarter, and harvested the game in the fourth quarter.

119 is better than 104
In the end, the 76ers in excellent condition beat the Spurs by 15 points.

As the best player in the game, Wei Xia gave the Spurs the highest evaluation: "I want to pay tribute to San Antonio. They look very old, but they can play an extraordinary offense like a young man."

The media in the Holy City also wanted Wei Xia to comment on Leonard.

Wei Xia smiled calmly: "We had a pleasant matchup, and I also shared some experience with him, hoping to be useful to him."

Everyone thought that Wei Xia was just being polite. A few days later, San Antonio spread the gossip that Popovich confiscated Leonard's game video.

"That's not something Kawhi should be looking at."

When the reporter came to ask, Popovich confirmed that this was true.

However, he sounds like a parent who finds out his kids are watching adult movies.

The reporters couldn't help asking: "Is it convenient to disclose what Kawhi saw?"

"The Lakers game video."

"Uh?"

"To be exact, it's the 2006 Lakers game video."

The reporters didn't say anything, but the expressions on their faces were obvious. Is there anything in the Lakers game video that shouldn't be watched?
"I said that over time, Kawhi will become our Michael Jordan. I hope he will watch more of Jordan's game tapes, not... you know. It's not that there is any difference between the two, but rather than being someone else, we want him to be a player like Jordan." Popovich was still a little uncomfortable when he said this. "As far as I know, the person who gave him advice was Wish, and I don't know what he thinks."

When the incident reached Philadelphia, Wei Xia couldn't stop laughing.

He can fully understand Popovich's mood.

Jordan and Kobe often hook up, but do they play like each other?

At first, Wei Xia also thought that Kobe was the contemporary Jordan, but when he watched a lot of Jordan's game videos, he found that the two had no similarities in game style except for some highly similar technical moves.

Bryant was a high school player, while Jordan played three years under Dean Smith.In college, Jordan was worried that Smith would be unhappy when he made a fancy dunk on the counterattack, because Smith forbade his players to do things that would make the opponent feel insulted.

Jordan is a standard academic, with solid skills, strong tactical literacy, and awe of authority.

Kobe, like other high school players, is free and unrestrained, has never experienced beatings in college, and has not been carefully taught by famous coaches. In his rookie season, he dared to leave the big brother in the team and shoot key shots in a row. The evil intention to replace the Sharks has been there since then.

There is no authority in his eyes, only those who are strong enough are the authority.

During OK's three consecutive championships, Kobe was criticized for not passing the ball not because he didn't pass the ball to the Sharks, but because the ball stopped working in his hands. He was selfish.Moreover, before the arrival of Pau Gasol, the Lakers did not have an organizer who could dominate the ball, and Kobe often needed to undertake the most difficult offense.Partnering with the Sharks, he is a weak-side assaulter. When working alone, before Wei Xia joined, he was the only normal person in the Lakers.After Wei Xia joined, the point guard in the team was Smush Parker and the like, so the self-discipline he brought from high school in those years was fully displayed.

To put it simply, Kobe sticks to the ball, and when he is on the top, it is common for four other teammates to follow him and do it alone with the ball.

And Jordan only did it in the first few years of his career.

Popovich hopes that Leonard will become Jordan's trump card that can be integrated into the system and not devour the ball in large quantities, rather than Kobe's arrogant and unreasonable demon.

Commentators from other places speculated on Wei Xia's intentions.

Waiting for the 76ers to play the next game, a reporter asked whether Wei Xia's suggestion to Leonard was true.

"It's absolutely true." Wei Xia admitted generously.

"Why would you give this advice?"

"When we give advice to young people, we will combine our own experience." Wei Xia said, "I played with Kobe as soon as I entered the league. His game has influenced me a lot. I don't want to boast, but I did a good job."

Wei Xia's style is very strange. You said that he is like Kobe. Except for the two years when he first joined the 76ers, he played very reasonably at other times.

The style of play, he is not like Kobe, sometimes he is like Havlicek, he likes to use running to create opportunities, sometimes he is like Jordan Kobe's style of swingman to finish the opponent in the low post, sometimes he is like the small forwards in the 80s, who likes to single out with the ball on the weak side.He has the explosiveness of Skywalker, the energy and stamina of Havlicek, the touch of Bird, and the magic of Maravich. When you combine them all, you are yourself.

This is a unique style. He watched Jordan's video to learn jump shots, but he didn't make his own style like Jordan.When he attacked in the low post and high post, Kobe's shadow can be found in many actions.That's the impact Kobe injected into him.

Therefore, he asked Leonard to watch Kobe’s game videos. Although it was a little bit of a bad taste, with the crooked idea that “if this robot goes crazy, there will be less serious troubles in the future”, but if Leonard can calm down and use his eyes as a magnifying glass to look for Kobe’s “poor! Kind! Ke! Chen!” advantages, he will naturally make great progress like him.

"Can you talk about why you think watching Kobe Bryant's game tape is more conducive to Kawhi's growth than watching MJ's game tape?"

"I didn't say that." Wei Xia first put aside the relationship, and then added, "If you have to say it, you can't say it. I think Kobe and MJ's game videos can teach us skills, but Kobe's game videos are more worth watching."

Reporters widened their eyes and wondered why.

"Because you can find Kobe's high-definition game video, MJ's game. If you want high-definition, you can only watch "Extreme Jordan". From the perspective of eye protection, I personally recommend Kobe's game video." This unpredictable cutting angle made the reporter amazed.

They can no longer argue.

Wei Xia has survived a small storm. There are not many strong teams in the remaining games of the 76ers, and there are many middle-level teams.

Although there are not many strong teams, all of them are of high quality.

Like the Houston Rockets, there are Harden and Howard. The former is the league's second shooting guard after Kobe's injury, and the latter is still the league's No. [-] center before Cousins ​​won his first team.

Like the Golden State Warriors, they are the box office guarantee of this season, making sure to let the audience see the end every night.Because they can't kill their opponents with a hammer, and they can't kill them with a hammer.

Like the Miami Heat, the defending champions, needless to say.

And a rematch with the Spurs.

After winning the Spurs, the 76ers achieved 62 wins and then faced the Rockets.

The top three in Texas are all in an exciting period, and the Rockets dragged the 76ers, who had won consecutive victories, into a pit.

Thus came the tenth regular-season game the 76ers lost.

62胜10负，76人失去了超越96公牛的机会，即使是追平96公牛也只存在理论上的可能。

The remaining games need to be won completely in order to create 72 wins.

The 76ers spread their grievances about losing to the Rockets on the Pistons.

The Pistons, pointing to the lottery, are undoubtedly one of the weaker teams that retain their dignity. They currently have 27 wins and are fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. This record will allow them to get the top ten picks, but they will certainly not be able to pick off the three famous emperor stars.

Their stagnant appearance reveals the management's lack of planning for the team's future. Either you will try your best to strengthen and fight for results, or you will lie down and let others ravage you, and then go to the small green house in disgrace to bring the most promising new stars to the team.

Want to be decent and want to develop, the game "The Witcher" will tell you that if you want both Yennefer and Triss, then they will all leave you in the end.

The 76ers used a 35-point massacre to trample the dignity of the Detroit people on the ground, and let them know by the way: Wake up, if this continues, there will be no good results. Look at the Lakers on the opposite side.

"At least we didn't lose 40 points." Harrison Barnes, one of the Pistons' rebuilding cores, said stubbornly.
