Six hundred and fiftieth chapters go forward bravely
The most direct impact Wei Xia has on this season's 76ers is not his leadership, not his DPOY-level defense and scoring king's offense, but his regaining the defensive appeal that he once gave up.
Wish fans who have experienced the Lakers era will proudly say that it is a team that has been transformed by Wish.
It was Wish that gave the Lakers the tenacity and mentality that would make the opponent feel uncomfortable on the offensive end.
When it comes to the 76ers, Wei Xia has a lot to shoulder. He wants to break out of his past role and become a character like Kobe.
But the mark on him that John Haflicek cannot be eliminated.
He can't become the real Kobe, nor can he become Haflicke again, so he can only become the unique Wish.
Havlicek never became the scoring champion, nor did he win DPOY (at the time), and he could.
This year, he not only had DPOY-level defense, but also used his defense to infect his teammates.
After all, defense is a habit that requires atmosphere. In a team where everyone likes to defend, those who check defense will gradually feel that defense is a good thing, so a defensive axis will have a decisive impact on the entire team's atmosphere. For example, what Garnett brought to the Celtics in 2007, such as Duncan attached importance to defense in the Spurs for fifteen years, and for any team Bathir went to, the defense was not much worse.
Wei Xia takes on the offensive end and charges ahead on the defensive end.
This courage and mentality made all his teammates compete for the first place, and they all wanted to prevent the Celtics from killing them at their doorstep.
They are going to fight a murder!
With 16 seconds left in the first quarter, the Celtics' offense was so bad that Rondo made a buzzer-beating three-pointer. Wei Xia, who was still catching up, gently capped with the first knuckle of the middle finger of her right hand.
Then, the Celtics' defense was not satisfactory.
Everyone knows who they will hand the ball to.
On the outside, Wei Xia held the ball.
After playing for the first quarter, he has scored 22 points.
The Celtics called on players to defend him, from Pierce to Courtney Lee, to Rajon Rondo.
"I plan to break through to the basket and cause your inside foul. If you successfully score a three-pointer..." Wei Xia said happily, "It must be the good luck brought by my grandparents."
Rondo shouted: "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Just come."
Wei Xia's voice stopped here, but the ball in his hand looked like a dragon swimming in the water. He slapped his left hand in incredibly, and his left hand followed, snatched the ball behind him, and followed a smooth rhythm that made the North Bank Garden exclaim in front of him and juggled him away from him. Rajon Rondo was shaken away from a distance.
When he dribbled into the penalty area, he faced the Celtics' young inside player Jared Sullinger PF/C, the opponent looked in disbelief.
Wei Xia held the ball with one hand and rubbed the opponent's body whistle. His little hand shook, leaving only 0.7 seconds for the Celtics to brush!
"Wish is going to kill us all!" Heinthorne complained, "Is anyone who can respond to him like a pure man!"
So far, the innocent man Heinthorne hopes cannot even see a shadow.
Wei Xiajia hit the penalty.
76ers replaced him.
He played 11 minutes and 59 seconds in the first quarter, scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the 76ers to lead the Celtics 35-17.
"Excellent performance, I'm proud of you, Wish!" Collins patted his shoulder excitedly.
Wei Xia nodded and looked at her grandparents at the distance.
Wayne completely abandoned the Celtics he had followed throughout his life and gestured his thumbs to his grandson who had a stunning performance.
"What's there to be excited about!" No matter what Wayne does, Lianna must worry.
With a thumbs up, she was worried that Wayne's thumbs would cramp, and her eyes were so excited that she was wet. She was afraid that Wayne would get sick due to huge ups and downs in her emotions.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, Philip has grown up!" Wayne said proudly, "That child has grown into a towering tree that makes the garden sound!"
Wei Xia left the court to rest, and the Celtics also asked Garnett to rest.
Garnett has permanently left the All-Star ranks, but his defense still has a significant value to the Celtics.
So far this season, Garnett is present, and the Celtics are losing 98 points per 100 rounds; Garnett is not present, and 116 points per 100 rounds.
Because of Garnett's wing blocking, Celtics' defensive shooting, singles, and no-ball cover are all just awesome, but other things like back-on singles, second offense, inward-cutting and shooting basketball are all messed up. Green couldn't catch the rebound, and Sallinger had not yet fulfilled his college experience as an NBA defense. Bass often disappeared on the defensive end. Garnett is 36 years old and cannot take care of all aspects like in the previous two years, so Garnett made up one side, but the inside missing another side. And what's so bad is that there are too many new players in the Celtics, all adapting to the NBA defense.
This iron army that once scared the alliance is no longer terrifying.
So, Wei Xia felt the touch, and 25 points in a single section were easy.
He always gave the best defense against the Celtics, as in the 2008 finals, tonight.
After Wei Xia got out, the second team of the 76ers was paired by two defenders who didn't know what the defense was, with Farid and Hayes' double-short inside, and rookie Kyle Singler standing in the third position.
This is called the five little little love, let’s ask about death again.
The 76ers' lineup is so weird that it seems that the Celtics can catch up with the score difference so that they can continue to watch Wei Xia's performance.
Except for Lou Wei, there is no main attacker, except Hayes, no single defense, Farid, no athletic ability, except for small forward Singler, no one has a naked foot height of more than 203 cm... It's really not possible to do anything, and he is the first in digging holes.
What's even more exaggerated is that Lu Wei made a touch, Nash also scored three-pointers, and occasionally fed a few goals to Farid. Hayes' elite-level single defense ability made the Celtics' young insider fail in a few consecutive attempts to attack at low posts.
Only this underworld lineup actually lasted five minutes with the Celtics, forcing them to switch back to the starting lineup before regaining their face with the main lineup.
Celtics' sixth man Jeff Green began to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on this lineup.
The Celtics are getting younger on a large scale this summer, which can be regarded as finding cannon fodder for Pierce and Garnett.
Green's strengths are that he plays the third position in the big lineup and the fourth position in the small lineup, giving Pierce and Garnett more rest opportunities.
Rivers's functional positioning of him is: "strong back against small forwards, high-speed Mercedes-Benz power forwards."
It must be added that he is not only an attacker. During the 2008-09 season, when he played for the Thunder, Durant was drifting in the air cut and Westbrook could only push fast attacks, and Green's high-level support was the Thunder's offensive engine.
Against the 76ers' underworld lineup, Green's back hit, worked, three-pointers, opening, and attacked with the ball, as if he had returned to college, and in just a few minutes, he fulfilled the irresponsible scouts' flattery at that time.
"If Kevin Durant doesn't gain weight smoothly, his future may be worse than Jeff Green's bright future."
"The athletic version of Rashad Lewis."
"A reduced version of Dirk?"
Let’s take a look at these comments. Which one is not the world’s number one hype. Now, he fulfilled the flattery of the scouts, even if it’s only a few minutes.
One man scored 12 points in a row, helping the Celtics catch up to 44 to 51, 7 points behind.
Collins called for a pause, and Wei Xia had been sitting for seven and a half minutes.
"I hope your hands have not cooled down yet," Collins smiled.
"Besides shooting, I can also break through." Wei Xia said optimistically.
Cousins is not optimistic: "They will definitely be ruthless against you."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xia said, "That won't stop me."
His modesty is recognized, and his confidence is also recognized.
People who are overconfident often give people the impression of being narcissistic, but Wei Xia never makes people feel narcissistic because of her confidence.
Because he always speaks with his strength.
After the timeout, he gave the ball to Cousins and gave a wink.
"Don't you treat them as human beings? You play so big?" Cousins thought it needed to be cautious.
What's scary is that even Cousins had a rational day.
Wei Xia said firmly: "This is my grandma's first time watching the game on site. I want to see the best one for her."
"You won't let her down, are you?" Wei Xia asked with a smile.
Cousins shook his head suddenly, and then the tactics began.
Originally, the Celtics thought Wei Xia would catch the ball nearby and try the feel. They didn't expect that Wei Xia's purpose was not to catch the ball from close range, but to turn around and cut into the basket and go straight to the basket.
His purpose is to attack the basket as soon as possible!
Cousins threw the pass with one hand.
This is the basis that supports him frequently dribbling the ball from the backcourt to attack opponent's basket in one-stop. His ball sense, his basic skills, and his passing and control ability are rare in the center.
Wei Xia can confirm at a glance that it is a good pass.
If they didn't score, it was not Cousins who disappointed grandma.
Fortunately, Cousins was very good at spreading, and his running position was worthy of this wonderful transmission.
Wei Xia exerted force with her feet, pulled onions from the dry land in the paint area, left the surface and took off at full speed, leaving the Celtics with less than half a second of reaction time. His speed and Skywalker's talent, supported by modern technology, gave him an unparalleled rise speed and height.
The talent is so dazzling that it is impossible to look directly at. The shining moment shocked the audience!
Wei Xia grabbed the ball with both hands, surpassed the basket with his forehead, and ruled from top to bottom, completing his personal best dunk of the season.
The basket trembled in shock, his teammates were stunned, and Garnett opened his mouth slightly. In this scene, among the dunks he had seen in his life, only Carter's dunk that flew over the French center was better...
"The Lakers don't want you?" Garnett smiled, "I deserve to be able to enter the playoffs now!"
Wei Xia didn't listen to him, but just looked at the place where his grandfather and grandma were, and they all stood up.
Obviously, even they could see how wonderful this button was. Grandpa danced and grandma clapped excitedly.
Chapter completed!
