You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 842 Today is a good day

"I think now Joel Embiid should know how far he is from the Sixers and DeMarcus Cousins."

In the game between the 76ers and the Celtics, due to the scolding battle between Embiid and Cousins, coupled with the conscious guidance of the league and the media, Weixia rarely choked on the field. These backgrounds all added attention to the game.

On the night of the game, the performance of the two teams also deserved the enthusiasm of the outside world.

The 76ers won. Wei Xia had a 40+ large triple-double like James. Cousins ​​​​defended the title of the first center. Embiid was sharp but obviously not as good as Cousins.

He only played 26 minutes before committing six fouls. At least he scored 16 points and 10 rebounds, a double-double.

A few years ago, if there was a center who could stably average 16+10 per game, as long as the defense was not at Love's level, the maximum salary could be expected.

Today, the Warriors' small ball style + three-pointers are hot, and the 76ers' 41 system is popular. The penalty area is still a battleground for military strategists, but the inside line is no longer as important as it used to be.

In addition to Embiid's double-double data and full fouls, his performance on both offense and defense is remarkable.

However, because of Liang Zi before the game, the 76ers still didn't have a good word for him after the game.

"I like the Celtics of the last century very much. I hope Joel can see his own shadow in the glorious history of the Celtics. There are many people who have achieved nothing because they can't face themselves." Wesha seems to give Embiid advice, but it also implies that he can't take over the mantle of his predecessors.

Cousins ​​​​is much more straightforward: "Joel Embiid still needs to learn from many players, including me."

Embiid, who has been fearless since the start of the new season, has been sanctioned.

He himself made no sound.

On the contrary, Celtics coach Stevens was very unhappy with the 76ers targeting a de facto rookie: "I am optimistic about Joel's future. He is already our core player and he will be even better in the future. I don't think the opponent's attack will bring pressure to him. I just think it is very unkind for a group of famous superstars to target rookies like this."

This is a competition of who is more protective of the calf.

Stevens seized the moral high ground, for fear that others would not know who was the first to provoke.

Jay Wright recalled for the reporter: "As a rookie, he acted recklessly, had no respect for his predecessors, and boasted himself through social media. I don't know if such behavior is kind or not, but I am very sure that using this game and the final result to tell him that there are people outside the sky and people outside the sky, is the greatest kindness that veterans can show to rookies who have no one in sight."

The further back things go, the worse it is for Embiid.

The media soon found out who was the one who caused Cousins' dissatisfaction by talking cheaply. He was caught and boldly fought back instead of pretending to be dead.

Embiid received two months of infamy for this.

After all, Wei Xia is the third traffic among active players besides James and Kobe, which offended his fans and the media who favored him. How can Embiid, an African, have good fruit?

Moreover, the matter originally originated from him. The game was played like this, and the face was lost. Stevens failed to seize the moral high point again. The Celtics and Embiid could only lie down and laugh.

Little did the Sixers know about the subsequent attack on the Celtics, and after that night, they let things go.

In the past few years, they have won too much, and there are many people who have grievances. If there is a grudge, it will be reported on the spot, and the past will be let them go.

As for whether the revenged opponent has passed the test or not, they don't care.

After defeating the Celtics, the 76ers ushered in Thanksgiving with the third record in the league.

The two teams ahead of them are in the West.

One is the Warriors who have mastered the version of the answer, and the other is that with Leonard's substantial improvement, Aldridge's joining, and Duncan's defensive performance that seems to have returned to his peak in November, the Spurs have become the most difficult bone in the league.

The 76ers are one of the nearly half of NBA teams that do not need to play on Thanksgiving Day, so they can spend Thanksgiving like other American families.

Thanksgiving is probably the most expensive holiday of the year for Vesia.

He needs to buy presents for many people.

From family members, teammates, coaching staff, Sunset Center staff, and friends from other places.

On the morning of Thanksgiving, the first gift Wesha received was from Kobe.

He is sure that Kobe has obsessive-compulsive disorder in some aspects, such as this year he will be the first person to give gifts home.

Wei Xia has zero expectations for the prepared gift.

Because, in the past few years, he has given all kinds of strange gifts.

Huskies, cats, other things that don't work.

As long as the things he gave this year were not living things, Wei Xia would give him a good review.

Wei Xia opened the gift and found that it was actually a CD.

Moreover, the content can be seen from the packaging of the disc.

This disc contains the entire process of the Lakers winning the championship in the 2007-08 season.

It seems that Kobe finally sent him a gift with good intentions.

This gift is not expensive, but the meaning is very good.

Wei Xia is chasing his fourth ring and three consecutive championships. There are many problems inside and outside the team. The desire for victory and the pursuit of the championship are incomparable to the past.

At this time, it is most necessary to find the original intention.

The Lakers may be tied with the contemporary Celtics and all teams with Bogut as Weisha's most hated team.

But he was never ashamed of playing for the Lakers.

He enjoyed talking about those three years.

Looking back at the first three years, Wei Xia got a lot, which is not an opportunity that ordinary players can have.

Wei Xia put away Kobe's gifts, and prepared to go out with a cart full of gifts.

"This year's Thanksgiving is at home, everyone is coming, don't be late." Elaine reminded.

"Understood." Wei Xia replied, and asked someone to put his well-prepared Thanksgiving gift in the trunk.

He's holding a special gift in his hand that doesn't belong to anyone on the team.

Only Elaine knew who the gift was for.

Wei Xia will first go to the Sunset Center to distribute gifts, and everyone has a share.

Wei Xia memorized the names and faces of all the staff, and some even bought gifts according to their preferences.Some are really not impressed, so they send luxury goods.

"Boss, must my gift be the most expensive?" Cousins ​​asked.

"Of course." Wei Xia prepared a pair of diamond earrings for him.

Although expensive, the gift he gave Cousins ​​was far less expensive than the gift he gave him.

Every year on important festivals, Wei Xia will always receive a very expensive luxury item from Cousins ​​that he is not interested in.

Watches, necklaces, are not the same every time.

Wei Xia deliberately delivered Wright's gift to his office.

Everyone is relaxing, and Wright is frowning at a game.

"Coach, you look a lot older like this." Wei Xia joked.

Wright shook his head and sighed: "If the Warriors go on like this, you will find that I will be 20 years older in the next few months."

Wei Xia heard about the recent madness of the Warriors, but he didn't pay much attention.

No, so far in the new season. Have you not lost a game?

Their momentum is astonishing enough, but the more consecutive victories, the heavier the burden. Moreover, the team that came to the state early, and the team that tried too hard to express their anger in the regular season, the results were not good.

Wei Xia doesn't watch the Warriors' games, he just uses these reasons to comfort himself.

"You see, when Marc Gasol is on the court, they have enough capital to play a 41 system."

"And when the 41 system loses its effect, they will immediately switch to five small lineups, using perfect speed and offense to crush their opponents."

Jay Wright said solemnly: "This is an impeccable team."

Wei Xia can be regarded as seeing the Warriors' current game with his own eyes.

Curry and Green's pick-and-roll is quite unsolvable.

Moreover, Curry's three-point threat with the ball seems to be more terrifying than last season.

The bonus brought by Gasol is immeasurable.

Another person's progress is ignored.

Six years later, John Wall finally practiced a 35% three-pointer that made the Warriors gratified.

The Warriors played an unparalleled offense and defense.

Quick zoom, defense with both height and speed, and correct defensive strategy: control the three-point line and penalty area, and compress the space.

Green's existence is so special, as long as he is there, when the Warriors send out five small lineups, the defensive end will not suffer, and the offensive end and Curry will use the frightening high pick-and-roll, there is no countermeasure.

With complicated weak-side blocks and cuts, the chemistry of the whole team has caught up.

The Warriors at this time are just like the 76ers last season and the Bulls in 1996.

This is a hungry team, and if the Sixers hadn't gotten in the way last season, they would have made a name for themselves as a jump-shooting team.

Traditional old-school people can still point to the Warriors who have not won the championship and claim that the jump shooting team cannot win the championship, but the fact is that in today's basketball world, the technology of shooting is in a period of rapid improvement.

A team with a shot may not win the championship, and a team without a shot is doomed to miss the championship.

"Today is a good day, think of something happy, coach."

Wei Xia doesn't want the Warriors to fill up his vacation.

"Well, Happy Turkey Day, Felix." Wright took out the gift prepared for Wesha.

Wei Xia came out of Wright's office and took a deep breath.

The game video inside put him under a lot of pressure. The Warriors are indeed as strong as rumored. They can play against the 76ers' 41 lineup, and they have a unique small ball system. They are too flexible.

Wesha walked slowly outside the Sunset Center to his car, saw the special Thanksgiving gift, and barely kicked the Warriors out of his mind.
