You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 721 The Guilty Idol

The Baltimore Bullets were a strange team, even from a 1971 perspective.

First of all, the NBA has just come out of the shadow of Russell, but one year after Russell retired, another dominant giant, Skyhook Alcindor, was ushered in.

Yes, the age of the elders.

Those who get the inside win the world, that's where it comes from.

The Bullets are like entering a non-mainstream barbershop to get a Uchiha Madara haircut. Their starting lineup looks like this: 191 cm combo guard Earl Monroe, 201 cm small forward Jack Marin, 198 cm short insider Gus Johnson, 191 cm offensive guard Kevin Loughery and 201 cm Wes Unseld.

Standing beside this group of people, Unseld didn't need to feel inferior, he was the insider.

Although it has not been verified, even the Japanese men's basketball national team in 1970, the first height in the team, must not be lower than 201 cm.

But the Bullets' starting heights are small forwards Marin and Unseld.

This lineup looks ridiculous. In fact, there are four All-Stars. The starting five can score 85 points per game. It is the sharpest offensive lineup nowadays.

Wei Xia's goal today is only Monroe.

Through research, Weisha knew that Monroe's peak period was in New York, and together with Fraser, it became a golden memory of a generation of New York fans.

In 1998, in order to pay tribute to a Monroe who had retired for nearly 20 years, the future director Spike Lee directly used his nickname to name the protagonist played by Ray Allen in the play-"Jusus".

Monroe was called "Black Jesus" as a player because he was like the god of the court and could use any technical action to put the ball into the basket.

It's like, well, let's use an extremely, extremely, extremely inappropriate metaphor - he's as handsome as Aomine Daiki!

He danced in the league earlier than Maravich, but Maravich's reputation is far greater than him. One of the most important reasons is his skin color. Secondly, it cannot be denied that the former's imagination will not be outdated 50 years later.

This is also the reason why Wei Xia did not regard Monroe as a learning object.

Monroe was ahead of his time, and he carried forward the offensive skills such as turnarounds, pause fakes, and pull-up shots.

These moves were a rare category in the late 60s and 70s. Although some people did them, no one did them as often as Monroe. 10 years later, Magic Bird and the smiling assassin Jordan entered the league and absorbed the essence of their predecessors. These moves began to become the norm on the court.

Technology can be learned, like Maravich's free-wheeling performance talent and improvisational creativity, just like the white chocolate in the king's period, at most learn their movements, like them?Unless you have played hundreds of games with Maravich like Wei Xia, and watch him play hundreds of games patiently, and you must have the technical foundation and talent to imitate his movements.

Also, the brain is also very important, imitating without thinking will only hit the wall.

Fortunately, Wei Xia possessed all of them, so he imitated his aura, and began to gradually figure out how Maravich systematically combined his skills to present those wonderful performances.

As for Monroe, in this game, Wescha played against Havlicek for 20 minutes, and he used the classic back turn four times.

When he turned around after making a successful move, no one knew what his next move would be.He may cut directly to the inside line for a layup after passing someone, or he may make an emergency stop and fallback jumper.

"Give me some face, tell me what you're going to do next, and I'll successfully defend you."

How much Wei Xia wanted Monroe to know that he was embarrassing for him to blow up his defense in such a ruthless manner.

Oh, by the way, Havlicek lost face, he doesn't care anyway.

"Unfortunately, I don't even know what to do next," Monroe said coolly.

Wei Xia smiled bitterly. This was also the fun of playing against Monroe. He always wanted to find a way to defend against Monroe.But Havlicek's athletic ability is very different from him in reality. Once Monroe gets rid of him, there is nothing he can do about it.

It took him 20 minutes to get Monroe to miss a few shots.

It's really hard to say whether he didn't feel good about those shots or because of his defense.

In this game, Wesha invested too much in defense and was blown away by Monroe, and the Celtics also lost the game.

At the end of the game, Wei Xia's consciousness floated up, and he looked at Monroe from a distance.He will not try to imitate Monroe's back turn, his back turn is so deadly, and there are factors of the times.Before Monroe and Maravich shined, NBA guards liked to use their butts to push and protect the ball.Monroe has this habit too, but he doesn't just sell his ass to protect the ball.

As long as his butt can borrow strength, he can use a devastating back turn to finish the opponent's defense.

Only when the back body becomes the mainstream, the back turn will become popular.In modern times, turning back and breaking through is a show-off technique. To successfully perform a back turn, turning is not the key, but the shaking before turning is the key.Rely on shaking to shake past the opponent, and then turn around to break through.

The back turn has become a ritualistic technique in the modern perimeter drive.

Using this trick is equivalent to a successful breakthrough.

On the contrary, a group of insiders combine back turns with low-post steps. All of those famous insiders have a famous low-post ball and turn around suddenly, and at the same time, the opponent loses the support point and is directly nailed to the spot without moving.

Even if Monroe's skills are no longer novel to Wei Xia, it does not prevent Wei Xia from respecting him.

He can swing wildly, do two, three, four shot or pass fakes, then tempt you with half-turn fakes, then roll to the other side with ease, slippery.

Relying on these, he can be called the Rolls-Royce backcourt together with Walter Frazier by Knicks fans in the future.

Before him, no NBA player could dance jazz on the basketball court so presumptuously to incite the audience.To some extent, he evolved the hard basketball of the 60s into the singing and dancing of the late 70s, and then catalyzed the artist guards who studied one-on-one dribbling on the streets of New York.

After waking up, Wei Xia had another lesson.

Although in fact Havlicek was the one who was abused, he was the one who controlled the body.

In reality, he has not been abused for a long time.

Even James just led the team to beat him, not beat him in the matchup.

If the NBA has a 1V1 competition system, Wei Xia will be the champion without any suspense.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking about what he had to do today.

The result is no business.

Except for the training, the commercial shooting in the morning, and the arrangement of activities in the evening, there are really no "priorities" at all.

"Sleep for a while?" Elaine asked softly.

"Go to sleep." Wei Xia yawned, "I'm Kobe's kind of person who can keep full of energy without too much sleep."

After speaking, he yawned magically again.

Seeing him yawn, Elaine yawned.

Wei Xia got up and got dressed, and Yi Lian had already fallen asleep and returned to the cage.

Before going out, Wei Xia looked at himself in the mirror five or six times, and came out of the house only after making sure that there was nothing strange.

He didn't expect to encounter a traffic jam. He was rushing to shoot an advertisement, and he began to understand why Kobe bought a private jet.Even Philadelphia has traffic jams, so what about Los Angeles?Only more terrible.

Wesha has so far been unsuccessful in persuading Bryant to give up his transportation.

Because it doesn't make sense.

Unless Wei Xia convinced Kobe that he could see the future, and convinced him that Wei Xia saw the future, he would die in an air crash.

Otherwise, there is really no strong reason for him to give up the plane and take a car to live a life of being stuck in traffic for at least an hour every day again.

Wei Xia has decided not to let Kobe change to a car, but to strengthen Kobe's sense of crisis.

So every time he contacts Kobe, he has to read it like an old lady.

After a busy morning, Wei Xia successfully filmed four commercials, leaving only 20 minutes for himself to eat.

He eats in the car, and the driver drives to Sunset Center.

After the person arrived, Wei Xia gave the money to the driver, and then he left happily.

With lunch in one hand, Wei Xia got out of the car, eating as he walked.

About to walk inside the Sunset Center, he finished his lunch and sat down to rest for 15 minutes.As soon as the time is up, I start to practice shooting. I just take a walk and shoot. After half an hour, I start to exercise.

On the offseason, training was uneventful.

In the evening, Wei Xia had to participate in a business event again, which was a dance party. He took Elaine to the scene and stayed until 10 o'clock to leave.

Elaine was driving, and Wei Xia, who was tired all day, slumped in the passenger seat.

"Why are you doing this?" Elaine worried that he was exhausted.

Wei Xia corrected his position: "I just want to prove that I can do it too."

"Proof?" Elaine didn't understand, "Who is the proof for?"

"Bass"

Elaine asked: "Even if you are so busy every day?"

"This is exactly what they questioned me at the beginning." Wei Xia said.

A red light ahead, Elaine stops.

"Even if you can't even let your wife relax at night?" Elaine blinked.

Wei Xia came to fight: "Are you provoking me, dear?"

"Even if you are so busy that you don't even have time to call grandpa?"

The moody atmosphere just now was extinguished in an instant.

Yeah, he hasn't called grandpa for days.

Does he have an excuse?no, no.Although very busy, there was still an hour or two of slumping like mud like now.

He actually could have called his grandpa if he only had to take 10 minutes out of it, but he didn't, he forgot.

He was suddenly too guilty to say a word.
