You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 799 Kobe
In reality, Wei Xia is working hard for his defending season, and the old John Havlicek is still on the way to find the light.

In the fall of 1971, at a good point in time, the most chaotic decade in the NBA had begun, and all the order and protagonists had already appeared on the stage.

Before the end of the 1971 draft, Wesha tried to change the history of the Celtics.

He opened his eyes in 2014 and learned which players will become All-Stars this year. Therefore, he made several suggestions to the Cardinal on behalf of Havlicek.

Suggestion [-]: "Redhead, you should find a way to draft Spencer Haywood (PF/C), he is a genius, an absolute genius."

In fact, Wei Xia didn't know how "genius" Haywood was. He just learned from Wikipedia that Hayward won the ABA scoring title in his rookie season and was elected MVP.

Also, he's not the same guy who left the ABA and fell off a cliff.He played just one ABA season before going to Seattle, and averaged at least 21-12 rebounds in five of the next six seasons.If such a person can be included in the bag, wouldn't the revival of the Green Army be in sight?
Suggestion [-]: "Randy Smith is a solid forward, take him!"

Wei Xia fought against Smith when he crossed over to Havlicek for the first time.

As the first generation of Iron Man, he has nothing to say about his strength and professionalism.

Suggestion [-]: "Although Artis Gilmore (Artis Gilmore C)⑴ is determined to go to the ABA, we should also find a way to select him. Maybe one day in the future the ABA will suddenly dissolve, and then we will have priority signing rights."

It's a pity that Wei Xia's three suggestions were not adopted.

And the first suggestion was refuted by Auerbach with ironclad facts: "Spencer Haywood? What would I want that idiot here for?"

Since Wei Xia only read Wikipedia and didn't understand it in detail, there was really nothing he could do about Auerbach's conclusive reply.

Later, he learned about Heywood through the newspapers of the old time.

Unfortunately, he came to the same conclusion as Auerbach, that Haywood might really have a problem with his head.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 70 years of the 10s were the darkest, most turbulent, and most precarious in NBA history.

So who is the origin of all this?
If we're going to say the source of the NBA's turbulent 2019-20 season, Houston's old thief deserves it.

And the root of all evil in the 70s, the beginning of all things, is definitely the first thing in history that Heywood joined the professional league and made a lot of money without completing four years of college.

In fact, Heywood can’t be blamed. This is human nature. During the 1964 All-Star Weekend, the players’ backs were hardened, the TV broadcast contract was signed, and the NBA ushered in the golden five years, and six-figure salaries began to appear one after another.By the late 60s, no player was juggling another job while playing the game.

Haywood broke the rules, but didn't think long enough. He signed a super-maximum salary of 40, which seemed to be astronomical at the time, with the Denver Rockets.However, the details of this contract are clearly written, Haywood can receive 5 US dollars per year for the first three years of signing this contract, and the rest will be paid to him 40 US dollars per year after he turns 1500-do you really want to laugh?Laugh and join me.

After that, Heywood staged a lawsuit against Qiu Ju, who touched the United States, and fled Denver anyway, but his career has also declined since then.

Haywood is emblematic of a sport that's becoming increasingly disorganized: young players given money and power too early, concerned only with themselves, peaking in an era of too many teams and too much money and responsibility too early for wives and wives.

That's why the '70s became an era of "too much, too much, too soon".

Haywood is definitely the epitome of this phenomenon, making tons of money fast, spending tons of money fast, switching teams every few years (always disappointing his predecessor), helping to destroy the Knicks, making Sonics head coach/GM and ultimate winner in NBA history Bill Russell lose faith in pro basketball, develop a massive drug addiction, and even become involved in the greatest cocaine story in NBA history.

Even, you have to say that fate is so interesting. After Spencer Haywood retired in the 1982-1983 season, Magic and Bird took their respective teams to the top of the mountain and started a battle of rivals that lasted for decades. The league began to take off.

Wei Xia failed to change Havlicek's fate simply and rudely. Moreover, when he came to the old time again, he took the initiative to talk to Auerbach about it, but the other party's confusion of "When did you tell me?" made Wei Xia conclude that his violent interference in the direction of history was corrected by the old time.

Among other things, although Haywood is indeed a fool, if Randy Smith can join the Celtics, and the Celtics have the right to sign Gilmore when the league merges in the future, then the NBA in the mid-to-late 70s and the entire NBA history in the 80s will undergo drastic changes.

Although history failed to change this time, some things that Wei Xia did on a daily basis still had an effect.

For example, Maravich often hinted on the phone that he would like to play in Boston if he had the opportunity in the future.

This matter has not been corrected by the old time, which shows that this method is feasible.

As for whether the pistol will become Havlicek's teammate in the future, we have to look down.

That night, he chose two games as training grounds for his skills.

One is the final winner of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the other is the Atlanta Hawks, who are constantly infighting.

For the Lakers, you can practice skills that are rarely used in reality while comparing the Lakers' game to the 76ers' game.

For the Eagles, it is natural to continue to learn from Maravich.

His amazing skills that shocked the world last season were all learned from rookie Maravich, and that was just rookie Maravich.

Maybe he really only has those movements, but imagination and creativity are sometimes like writing lyrics, idiots can only write "follow me-go a wave" this kind of garbage that anyone can write four kilograms a day, but real lyricists have an infinitely high ceiling.

Every game is different. Maravich may be in good form and not in good form. What Weisha has to do is to observe his performance and then find a way to arouse his fighting spirit-for example, use his tricks in front of him.

The game against the Lakers made Wei Xia more convinced that the 76ers are on the right path.

He knew that Chamberlain, who had won 32 consecutive victories in the regular season and made it through the playoffs, had been sluggish all his life in the life-and-death battle of the Lakers, finally showed the heroic face that contemporary fans imagined this year.

At least for this year, he was unsolvable, and it also made him boast in his autobiography in the future that "Russell regards the game as a deathmatch, but it is just a game for me. If I fight like him, I can win the championship every year".

In this way, Wei Xia woke up after spending a day in the old days in vain, and two genuine games that had no impact on history.

Every time he wakes up, he feels unreal.

He hadn't really fallen asleep for a long time, and he didn't know what it was like to fall asleep and lose his sense of self.

Even though he had been running around for a day in another time and space, in reality he got a full rest, and he was always in awe of this indescribable magic.

After getting dressed, folded the quilt, went to the bathroom to wash, came to the kitchen, Elaine prepared a delicious breakfast, and his son was stealing cat food - it was a birthday present from Wei Mingliang.

Thinking of the damage that the husky sent by Kobe might have caused in his old home, Wei Xia had reason to suspect that his father had no good intentions.

"Phil, if you steal Kobe's food again, I'll give it away!" Wei Xia threatened.

Do you think this cat's name sounds a bit like Kobe?In fact, it's not a bit like it, but its name is "Kobe" as Americans call it.

Everyone knows Kobe got his name from Kobe steak, but the truth is, it was simply because Bryant Sr. and his wife liked the name Kobe. KO-BEE is what Americans call it.And Wei Xia named the puppet cat KO-BAY directly according to the Japanese name.

If Kobe is lucky enough to meet Kobe in the future, Wei Xia can also find an excuse to say that he is not paying tribute to him, but simply likes this name.

Now, his dream has come true.

He has a son named Phil and a ragdoll cat named Kobe.

For now, there is no regret in dying.

⑴ In terms of talent and strength alone, the locomotive is definitely a bright pearl buried in the long river of history.How to put it, you can imagine a Howard who can shoot +218 cm.He made a deal with the ABA early that year, so he was not symbolically selected by the Bulls until the 117th overall pick.As a result, the league merged five years later, his club was disbanded, and the Bulls prostituted a superstar for nothing.But Gilmour had already achieved a considerable degree of success in the ABA at that time (one debut, four consecutive rebounds, MVP, championship), and he was not self-motivated. He played nine double-double seasons and wandered three teams. Retired in the late 80s.

([-]) Heywood had a conflict with the head coach because of the reading, and then he was high on a dark night in a month and wanted to find someone to kill his coach.Then rein in the precipice before attacking.
