You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 958 The future is bleak and we still need to struggle
The 76ers' team doctor repositioned Hayward's ankle as soon as he hit the court to ease the pain.

Hayward was then carried off on a stretcher.

Hayward gave fans a thumbs-up as he left the court.

As for the game on the field, both sides have drifted out of the field from the spiritual level.

Although athletes are often injured, falling from a height like Hayward's and causing an ankle dislocation is quite rare and extremely terrifying.

The 76ers lost a core player, their morale was low, and they lost the opening game that should have been fighting for victory.

Hayward's injury made what should have been a festive day for the 76ers less fun.

Every Philly is praying for Hayward.

"I don't know what's going on with Gordon." Wei Xia was stunned by the microphone.

They lose, but no one cares because there are worse things happening than the impact of losing.

科比打出了完美的首秀，33分钟内19投11中，32分6篮板4助攻，很难相信这是个38岁的老头。

He became the 76ers team's highest scorer in the first game. Of course, Hayward was injured and retired, leaving most of the ball free, and the reason for the 76ers' overall poor state except him, but he was able to stand up. He has proved that he is a player who can withstand pressure.

At 38, he's still going strong.

"I feel very comfortable here." Kobe described his debut. "The 76ers are an elite team. We aim for the championship. No matter who is missing, this goal will not change."

His words sound a bit cruel, but this is the situation that the 76ers must face.

That night, Hayward underwent an MRI at a Philadelphia hospital and the results came back: a fractured ankle.This is much lighter than the rumors that "the injury surpassed Livingston back then".

Ankle fracture is a common injury on the court. A slight absence of 2-3 months is enough, but a serious one requires not only surgery, but also a long period of recuperation.

Hayward's is obviously going to be operated on.

Therefore, he has basically been reimbursed for the season.

This is cruel news. In the previous few years, he was selected to the All-Star twice and his career has been on the fast track.

Seeing the arrival of the contract year, he was about to give full play to his worth, but he encountered such difficulties.

Hayward's future has become unknown, and the 76ers' deployment for the new season has also been disrupted.

Jay Wright originally wanted to turn the 41 system into a regular starter. Hayward's injury made the system lose a key link.

That night, several teammates who were close to Hayward came to the hospital to visit.

His surgery won't start until tomorrow at the earliest.

His mental state is not bad, Cousins ​​​​asked him: "What do you want to do most now?"

Hayward suddenly became energetic: "Play a game of LOL."

"What it is?"

"You are so stupid Boge, this is the most popular online game in the world!"

Seeing that Hayward was still in the mood to make fun of Cousins, Wei Xia was a little relieved. In addition, he didn't know what game LOL was.

Not counting the few rookies who just joined the team this year, Hayward may be the only e-sports enthusiast in the team.

For people of Wei Xia's generation, this kind of thing is already difficult to get started. Although it is very popular, he has never understood it.

Speaking of this suddenly, it became Hayward's one-man show.

Cousins ​​was flabbergasted as he talked about the game's global reach.He and Wei Xia are not very interested in this matter, they just want Hayward to have a place to "strength".

Wei Xia returned home from the hospital, only Kobe found him.

The rest of the family was asleep.

Elaine and Wei Zile might watch tonight's game, but judging from Hayward's grade-restricted injury, he was sure that his wife would immediately turn off the live broadcast to put the child to sleep.

Wei Xia teased the cat for a while, and this trick unexpectedly relieved the pressure.

When he finished his shower and was about to go to bed, his phone rang.

If it was someone else, he might not pick it up.

"It's not yet 03:30 in the morning." Wei Xia joked.

The caller was Kobe, and his famous 03:30 a.m. was a beautiful lie.But between him and Wei Xia, 03:30 in the morning is the real story.

That was the story that happened in Weixia's rookie period. He and Kobe tortured each other in the training camp for half a month in order to compete for the title of "Most Hardworking Laker".

This story was reported by the "Orange County Register", and Kobe confirmed the authenticity of the story, and it has since become a classic story that all fans know.

"Come out if you have time."

"I'm sorry, I don't lack anything but time."

Although the words were harsh, Wei Xia finally changed his clothes and went out.

The place Kobe invited Wei Xia to was absolutely unexpected to him-his home.To be exact, his RV.

Kobe's choice to sign with the 76ers was a sudden decision, so he would not look for a house in advance.

He asked his father, Old Joe, to find a place to live. As a result, as long as he was doing things for his son, Old Joe couldn't do anything that Kobe wanted.

Old Joe had no idea how picky his son was.

What kind of place is Kobe Bryant's Palisades Hill villa in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles?
There are mountains, waters and streams, comfort, scenery, environment, everything is bad, but Lao Qiao just found a villa to arrange for Kobe like a bumpkin.

Of course, Kobe was very disappointed after seeing it, and he was determined not to go in. He would rather buy a million-level RV and "make do with it" before making a long-term plan.

Now, except for Kobe's eldest daughter who stays in Los Angeles to study, his two younger daughters have come to Philadelphia and live in the RV.

In addition to being able to accommodate people, a million-level RV has many uses and a wide range.

While the guests were grilling, Kobe and Wei Xia were bullfighting on the improvised basketball court in the car.

Wei Xia, who had just taken a shower, accepted the challenge with great reluctance.

"Aren't you afraid of losing to me?" Kobe didn't even need to use his age to provoke Wei Xia, just saying this sentence was enough.

Think about how Kobe treated himself when he was in the Lakers. Now when will he wait if he doesn't take advantage of the opponent's old age and frailty to fight back?
Thinking of this, Wei Xia didn't care whether he had washed it or not.

Within an hour, he slammed Kobe Bryant with 50 goals.

Kobe is still competitive, with a more calm and natural mentality than when he was young.He has accepted that Wei Xia is far stronger than himself now, and the so-called bullfighting is just to cultivate his sentiments.

"If I knew you were in this situation this year, I would never come!"

After an hour of golf, both of them were tired and sat down to barbecue.

Hearing Kobe's words, Wei Xia was not only not angry, but also asked Kobe through the words of the other party: "We have never had a large area of ​​​​personnel injuries before you came. I suspect that you brought bad luck."

"Shit!"

"Pay attention to quality!" Wei Xia added, "Besides, after you left Los Angeles, the Lakers ushered in KD and Andre Drummond. You see, even the Lakers have changed their luck after you left. I really shouldn't win you over."

"Stop rambling, you have to bring up your morale!" Kobe asked Wei Xia, "You can't just let it go to the end!"

This kind of thing, without Kobe saying, Wei Xia will do it.

Due to the departure of Holiday and others, as well as Robertson and Hayward being reimbursed for consecutive seasons due to injuries, the prospect of the 76ers defending the title is already uncertain.

"You gave up your promise to the Lakers for the championship. If I didn't let you wear the sixth ring, would you blame me?" Wei Xia really wanted to know.

When Kobe heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes: "My brother! When the time comes, don't blame me for ruining your chemistry, and I'll be thankful, okay?"

Speaking so aggrieved, it seems that Wei Xia is really the kind of bad person who shirks responsibilities at will.
Wei Xia wanted to show his anger, but thinking that Kobe was by his side, it might be possible. If the Lakers history's first blamed man came to the 76ers but didn't let him do what he does best - blamed - then why is he here?
