The regular season ended like this.

For the Lakers, history will write a lot of marks for Kobe in the future.

He averaged 27 shots per game, scored 35 points, and had a shooting percentage of 45%. For Kobe, the 2005-06 season was a cathartic season. All the resentment of failure accumulated in the past flowed out in this season. The Los Angeles Lakers, to be precise, were carried into the playoffs by Kobe Bouceent.

In the summer of 2005, negative news piled up, but he turned it all into motivation.

He got everything he had wanted before: one person supported a team, everyone played around him, and the fire was unlimited.

This means that he returned to high school, and he fought against the world alone, which was his favorite feeling. He became a singer and dancer at the center of the Dance and Union, asking everyone to dance for him... In NBA history, there are only a few people who can bear such a lot of pressure, but indeed, the Lakers survived a season like this.

Kobe used his most spectacular offensive performance in his career to secure the sixth place in the Western Conference.

In the first round of the playoffs, they will challenge the Phoenix Suns, the third-ranked Phoenix Suns in the West.

The system D'Antoni implemented in Dayang is a V-shaped attack commonly used by Europeans. If you pay a little attention, you will know that the Mavericks and the Warriors' long-range shots are the top of the arc, while Dayang pays more attention to the two wings.

The Suns are close to the three-point line with the shooting guard and small forwards, and the power forward (Maryon/Dio) or center (Stodemire) are in high positions and Nash pick-and-roll. As the shooter pulls the corner, Nash, Stoudemire or Marion always has very wide room for activity: while the opponent will always leak the three-point shooter in the bottom corner, so Nash or Dior can easily pass the ball.

Many people criticized Stoudemire for his poor back-to-back attack, but he developed a steady and accurate mid-range shot; Marion was not a good single player, but in the 2005-2006 season, he could score 20 points per game.

The reason is very simple: Nash is a great organizer and an outstanding shooter. In positional battles, as long as there is a shooter pulling aside, he and any teammate in the inside can be freely separated and rolled.

D'Antoni's extraordinary feature is that he not only used the V-shaped attack for positional warfare, but also in fast attack occasions, the Sun's swinger would not be as eager to bombard the basket like the Dallas, but instead landed neatly and quickly towards the wings.

Of course, the necessary conditions for this system are as follows: the attack power of inside players after pick-and-roll, smart organizational defenders, and threats from outside shooters.

Dayang's offense does not emphasize deadly kicking speed like the teams under Old Nelson, and pays more attention to space and tacit understanding. Fighting against most teams with not strong defensive systems can make the opponent unable to fight back.

In the summer of 2006, in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Lakers faced this opponent.

There are a few days left before the Lakers play their first first round at Phoenix, and they stay in Los Angeles for rest.

Wei Xia threw away his emotional entanglements, emptied his brain, and devoted himself to the playoffs.

In the regular season that just ended, he attended all 82 games, nearly 70 substitutes, played 32 minutes every night, and averaged 17.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.1 steals and a commendable 1.2 blocks. The three shooting percentages were 46.7%, 33.2% and 79%.

He basically locked in the rookie team, and Paul, the only one who could threaten his rookie of the year, was far inferior to him in terms of reputation. Whether it was data, performance, or the influence of the city media, Paul was not the only one who had the advantage.

It can be said that it was only a matter of time before he was selected as a rookie team and got roy.

The real question is the sixth person of the year.

His number one rival is Mike Miller of the Memphis Grizzlies, who averaged 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists with the same shooting percentage as him.

Wei Xia's data is significantly stronger than Miller.

Or it can be said that Wei Xia is one level better than Miller in the career of the Sixth Person.

The one who restricts Wei Xia from becoming the sixth man of the year is precisely his identity.

As a rookie, he is too sharp.

It's not his fault. Phil Jackson has tried his best to limit his performance, but gold will always shine.

Jim Bass used his media relations to build momentum for Wei Xia.

The Los Angeles Daily News column reporter claimed: "If wish didn't combine rookie teams, roy and smoy (the sixth man of the year), I would be very disappointed, very disappointed. You can't think he shouldn't win the award just because he's just a rookie. He deserves smoy more than anyone else!"

The Orange County Chronicle, which has always been known as the Lakers' mouthpiece, is more bold. They are not satisfied with letting Wei Xia "Trinity". They compare Wei Xia's defense with the top defense experts in the league in the same team such as Kobe, Jason Kidd, Bruce Bowen, Andre Kirilenko, Teshoen Prince and Chauncey Billups.

They launched a 2 steals and 1 block club.

He also claimed that the entire league can reach the outside line of his data, and there are only a handful of them.

Bowen is not good, Kobe is not good, Billups and Prince are not good... If we follow their standards, then Wei Xia will not only be in the best defensive lineup, he should also compete for DPOY.

But that is impossible.

The impact of the media's momentum can only have a small part of the impact.

In the end, it should be Wei Xia's, and it can't run away. It's not yet Wei Xia's turn, so it won't give it to him in advance.

On April 20, 2006, there are three days left before the playoffs start.

At the Toyota Center, the Lakers are holding a pre-match deployment meeting.

During the meeting, Jackson pointed out several issues with the Sun.

The Suns tactical system is too extreme, and its essence is to disrupt the opponent's regular layout at a high speed, or to use stronger offense to cover up weak defense. This biased play will significantly reduce its strength under targeted arrangement.

Also, the inside is weak, extremely weak. After Stoudemire's season reimbursement, their inside is already terrible. However, they still have an advantage compared with the Lakers.

It's not a bad thing for the Lakers to face the Suns in the first round.

Their inside line has advantages, but not as big as other teams. Stoudemire's reimbursement made the penalty area a heart-wrenching problem for the Phoenix. Their opponents are not the Lakers, but the Mavericks and the Spurs. Both teams have top inside lines, and if they want to pass them, it is not possible to have no star inside line.

The first round of the Lakers is no worse than the Mavericks.

He has Kobe's psychological advantage of 62 points in 3 quarters and a regular season record advantage against the Suns.

Moreover, in April, when the season ended, the Lakers won both against the Suns.

Jackson slipped out of the sun's biggest x-factor.

Their frontcourt depth.

Although there is no one inside, since D'Antoni coached, the Suns have liked to let the number three be the number four to play the number five position.

This is true for Stoudemire and Marion.

Boris Dior, who has fulfilled his talent in the Suns, is even more like this. Sometimes I really don’t know what number he is. He can organize like Odom, and he is more willing to fight in the inside line and have excellent physical fitness than the latter.

Tim Thomas and Sean Marion, if nothing unexpected happens, these three will cause big trouble to the Lakers.

Steve Nash, who will hold the second MVP trophy soon, was gorgeously ignored.

The Lakers did not regard him as a key person because the result of his matchup with Kobe during the regular season was ugly. It is not an exaggeration to say that Kobe crushed him in several consecutive games.

If a star showdown between strong teams is at a disadvantage, it will have a huge impact on morale.

Wei Xia listened to Jackson's keynote speech, and when he talked about him, everyone's attention changed.

"Wish, nothing unexpected happens, you will face Leandro Barbosa more." Jackson seemed to have no idea that Weisha had a good defense against Nash in the regular season. "He is very fast and has an amazing breakthrough threat, and you need to lock him up."

Since the day Jackson has accepted the substitute arrangement from the bottom of his heart, what did Jackson say? Wei Xia has only yes but no no.

Isn't it just a match against Barbosa? What a big deal.

After the deployment meeting, Wei Xia trained on time and went home.

After that, two more days of peace and harmony were spent.

On Sunday, April 23, 2006, Wei Xia took her luggage and headed to the airport to board a special plane to Phoenix. He will make his career debut in the playoffs today.

Since it was the weekend, Kobe went to church to have a mass before coming.

"I didn't even eat meat in the morning," Kobe said with a calm face.

"You want to say, are you hungry?" Wei Xia was about to give him some snacks that had not expired.

Kobe refused: "Unfortunately, I can't eat meat until sunset today."

"What a joke, today is game day!" Wei Xia was a little anxious.

"People like you may never understand what faith is." Kobe looked at Wei Xia mockingly.

Wei Xia looked even more disdainful: "Your belief also tells you that you cannot have sex before marriage. Do you want to tell me that you and Vanessa never had any physical needs before marriage?"

"Natural!" Kobe continued to look at Wei Xia with a contemptuous expression and look. His artificial appearance made people very upset.

It was not until a long time later that Wei Xia realized that he was really naive enough.

Since the scandal between Clinton and the secretary, the country has been morally corrupt since the two are not in large enough to count as such behavior.

If the president is like this, aren’t Catholics learning from facts?

So, for them, that and that and that are not considered betrayal of faith.
