You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 732 I'm Too Good

The NBA playoffs are in full swing as the Donald Sterling recordings sweep America.

In the first round, eight series, five rounds of tie-breakers, two rounds until the sixth game, especially in the West, in terms of the competitiveness and intensity of the first round alone, there is no season in history that has surpassed it.

The four first-round series in the Western Conference played seven games in three groups. If it weren't for Damian Lillard's incomprehensible 0.6-second lore in the duel between the Blazers and Mosaic, it would have played seven games.

Difficulties lie ahead, and the stronger team tends to win.

The Toronto Raptors that the 76ers encountered in the semifinals were not too threatening in terms of strength.

The reason why there is today's popularity is entirely due to the media.

Wei Xia's statement on the recording gate caused Dwayne Casey's dissatisfaction. The media took the opportunity to fan the flames and expanded the competitive atmosphere between the two teams before the game started.

Monday, August 2014, 5.

Wells Fargo Center
Wei Xia tried his hands and found that the accuracy of long-range shots tonight was average.

"Wish, don't be merciful." The only player on the Raptors who has friendship with Wesha is his old teammate Kyle Lowry.

If the Lakers' abandonment of renewing their contract with Weixia was the direct cause of their fall to the current stage, then the loss of young players such as Lowry is the indirect cause.

The rookie contract expired, and Lowry originally wanted to renew the contract with the Lakers, but they were unwilling to offer a big contract.

The decision of the Lakers at that time is understandable, because Lowry did not show the potential of an All-Star at that time, and no one can say for sure about the future development.

It's just that two players who will become stars in the future were released by them without pay, which inevitably caused complaints from the fans.

Wei Xia looked back at Lowry, and just smiled flatly at his words.

Show mercy?He couldn't show mercy to what Casey said in front of the media.

He is a broad-minded person, no matter how big the grievance is, he will never remember it, unless the Lakers give up on renewing his contract and look down on his development potential.

He usually resolves other problems formed on the court with a textbook-like plan.

Therefore, he will resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides in this game.

After warming up for a while, the starters of both sides are ready to play.

The 76ers need no introduction, and the Raptors start with Lowry, Jonas Valanciunas, DeRozan, Terrence Ross and Amir Johnson.

Veteran fans of the Raptors will no doubt be unfamiliar with this lineup.

Beginning in 2013, the Raptors began their road to reorganization.They are committed to cleaning up all traces of the Sam Mitchell era.

The departure of Calderon and Bargnani was a landmark event.

After these two left the team, the last time the Raptors entered the playoffs, that is, the veterans of the Sam Mitchell era in 2008, all gone.

The European routine of "Calderon pick and roll, shooters around to move, Bosh + Bayani high screen" is finally over.From this perspective, Lowry replaced Calderon and squeezed away the Italian Cannon with Amir Johnson + Hansbrough + Valanciunas, which is tantamount to announcing that the team's transformation has begun.

They will bid farewell to the elegant European system and create their own routine like the rough northerners.

In the opening game, the 76ers jumped to the ball.

Cousins ​​wants the ball to play against Valanciunas in singles. The Lithuanian is a standard European great pyrenes, with a seven-foot body and powerful Kongwu.

On a rare occasion, Cousins ​​couldn't go in and had to use a turnaround jumper to hastily end the offensive round.

Because he didn't expect Valanciunas' hardness, he temporarily changed his offensive method somewhat hastily, and the ball missed the basket.

The Raptors immediately increased their counterattack speed.

DeRozan runs like flying, rushing forward at full speed. The young man's athletic ability is surprising, but what is even more surprising is Wei Xia's vitality.

At the age of 30, he is no worse than the 25-year-old DeRozan. He followed DeRozan closely, making the opponent dare not take off easily, so he had to pass the ball outside, and Lowry, who followed him, shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

3 is better than 0
"DeMar, Wish won't foul you maliciously, what are you afraid of? Buckle him!" Lowry was not satisfied after scoring a three-pointer.

Wei Xia joked: "I will block him maliciously."

"Impossible Wish! DeMar's elasticity is above you!"

It’s really like having a new love and forgetting the old love. Although the 30-year-old Wei Xia’s jumping ability is no longer comparable to that when he just inherited Skywalker’s physical fitness, if he drives his body with all his strength, it is still very easy to take a one-meter vertical take-off, and there is no pressure to reach a run-up jump of 115 cm with all his strength.

Over the years, except for Shannon Brown in the NCAA period, Wei Xia has never seen anyone whose physical fitness is better than him.Even Brown wins with bullet speed, and his bounce in his heyday was unrivalled.

123 cm approach jump height, who else?

The Sixers moved the ball comfortably.

Rondo called Cousins ​​to pick and roll, and the passer passed the ball.

Cousins ​​learned the lesson of the last round and didn't dare to be reckless, and transferred the ball to Wei Xia at the top of the arc.The Raptors' defense has been mobilized by them. When Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand and swayed to the left, his body drove to the right to break through, and all DeRozan could do was look back. Rose, who was facing Hayward, was forced to leave the defensive position to help defend.

Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand and swayed upwards, completely seducing Rose in front of him, and Hayward got the biggest open space.

Wei Xia passed the ball behind the neck with one hand in the air, and Hayward caught the ball and made a three-pointer from the corner.

3 is better than 3
"Why do you leave your defender?" Wei Xia suggested kindly, "Give your insiders a little trust."

Rose immediately said to Valanciunas, "He's provoking!"

The Lithuanian nodded silently. Everyone is not a fool, and Wei Xia has a reputation for being good at telling stories.

Ross ran to the front court and solemnly said to Wei Xia: "Stop fooling the crowd with gossip!"

"Sau Rui?" Wei Xia didn't know what he wanted to express.

"Like the bullshit you said in front of the media, it's useless to us!" Rose ran aggressively.

He looks like another version of DeRozan, and once he finds a way to hit the mid-range shot or hit the basket, he will grow into DeRozan II.He has the same routine as DeRozan: counterattack to the basket, cut and move, and occasionally break through with the ball.He's an underrated defender who works hard to follow his opponent whether on or off the ball.

Hearing the opponent's words, Wei Xia couldn't help stepping up his defense.

The Raptors want to give Rose the ball. Weixia's defense is world-renowned. If he can open the situation from this point, it will be an incentive for the Raptors team.

They didn't expect that Rose's heads-up went bankrupt before it even started.

Wei Xia seems to be left behind by him, but in fact he follows him like a shadow. To surpass his position, he only depends on whether he wants to or not.He didn't surpass Rose's position in order to convince the Raptors that Rose ran out of the opportunity.

When they pass the ball, Wei Xia will accelerate instantly.

Havlicek's athletic ability + Skywalker's explosive power, the combination of the two makes him the player with the strongest instant burst acceleration ability in the league.

"boom!"

"It's so good to break Wish!"

His teammates yelled excitedly, Rose was relentless in chasing him, just looking at his physical talent, he was no worse than DeRozan, as long as he could catch up, he would have a chance to catch up.

His idea was wonderful in every way, except for one thing that he didn't expect.

Why did he think he could do it?
Wei Xia let him catch up, and then, just before the shot, he stopped, causing Rose behind him to hit him, but instead he put the elbow of his right hand to Rose's chest, which not only hit the opponent, but also caused a foul, and borrowed strength.

Rose stepped back clutching his painful chest, and Wei Xia jumped up almost vertically on the spot, with his forehead level with the basket.

BOOM, 5 to 3.

Seeing Rose's angry and terrified face, Wei Xia asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

"Stop being hypocritical!" Ross flatly rejected Wei Xia's kindness.

But Wei Xia had no good intentions: "Sau Rui misunderstood you. I don't care about you. I just want to know if you hurt. It's right if it hurts. That's what Kobe did to me back then. Facts have proved that he elbowed a superstar. Now my elbow to you hurts you, but it also contains my expectations for you."

Wei Xia put the ball in Rose's hand, turned and ran.

Wei Xia's bad behavior made Rose startled and angry, saying what to expect, what Kobe is, it's fucking shit.

Seeing the hatred and anger written on the young man's face, Wei Xia knew that he hadn't understood his kindness.

If you let Kobe come, the elbow will be an elbow. How can you tell him so much?
Kobe's logic is that I respect you by elbowing you, don't be ignorant of good and evil.

Wei Xia thinks that his lower limit is higher than that of Kobe, and he wants to inspire the next generation of "Wei Xia" like Kobe back then.Ross doesn't seem to appreciate it at all.

Rose ran hard, just trying to survive.

Wei Xia's defense is a dead end for him. No matter how he runs, he will be accompanied by No. 76 of the 1ers in the end.

Only when the cover of his teammates is close, can he have a chance to escape from Wei Xia's side.

However, when the cover appeared, Wei Xia's body flexibility exceeded his imagination.Valanciunas's cover was unexpectedly avoided by Wei Xia's change of direction while marching.

What's even more frightening is that when he changed direction, he didn't slow down.

He clearly has the ability to change directions without slowing down, but he never takes advantage of this advantage when attacking with the ball.

It shows how confident he is in his skills.

Terrence Ross made an invalid move for 16 seconds. He ran two laps and returned to the original point. Looking back, it was the smiling face of Wish that fell into his eyes.

The Raptors were blocked for 24 seconds.

The offense has become like this, Dewayne Kevin can't bear it, even if it is only 2 points away, a timeout will be called.

With a beep, the game, which was only 2 minutes into the game, was interrupted.

"Please tell your coach that it's not your fault." Wei Xia said consciously, "I don't intend to brag, but my defense seems to be doing too well tonight."

It has almost reached the average level of the DPOY season. How can Terrence Rosshead enjoy this intensity of defense?Derrick Rose is about the same.
