Wei Xia's heart was empty, and he had imagined losing.

He imagined the Lakers' heroic loss, which is remembered by people. For example, Kobe's winning timeout, for example, he made mistakes and missed a good game at critical moments, such as being the Clippers' winning goal. Even if he loses, he will lose vigorously. Everyone thinks so, but how can everything come true?

The Lakers lost and ended their 2005-06 season slightly dull.

Wei Xia played in the playoffs for the first time in her career, playing eight games, averaging 37 minutes and 34 seconds per game, averaging 15.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 2.4 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 46%, 37%, and 84%.

For him, he is excellent for his first playoffs.

Wei Xia sat on the bench in disappointment.

He was on the bench watching the team lose the season and was powerless.

In the end, they only lost 3 points, but there was no overturn. The Clippers played very steadily, and Brand and Carman grabbed 25 rebounds again. The Lakers' team's rebounds were quite hard, and they got a total of 37 rebounds, which was much better than the two starting inside players in the previous games.

But after careful calculation of the rebounds in the game, the Suns have 55 teams and the Lakers have 37 teams, and the gap is huge.

The inside disadvantages are clear, but the Lakers only lost 2 points in the end.

Although Wei Xia was troubled by fouls, other teammates stood up and did their best to do their best. The Clippers' victory was not easy.

The moment the game ended, the Clippers' starting point guard Sam Kassel first greeted Kobe and said: "We're even."

Then, he walked towards Wei Xia.

Kassel took the initiative to extend his hand to Wei Xia: "Can you ask me to answer a question?"

Wei Xia said: "May I ask."

"Steve should be better guarded than me, right?"

In the last game, Kassel was embarrassed by Wei Xia's return, but he got the game back today. He made four of Wei Xia's six fouls.

It can be said that in this round of the series, the 36-year-old Kassel beat every single position of the Lakers.

"I played six games with Steve, and only two games with you." Wei Xia did not make hasty appraisal. "You are a great player, but there are too few samples, and I can't tell you the answer."

Kassel smiled and said, "I appreciate your candor."

"Thank you." Wei Xia said, hugging Kassel.

It is rare that the opponent did not leave a bad impression on him after playing against Wei Xia.

Of course, there is a reason for this.

He didn't fight with Cassel much. After Wei Xia returned from injury, the first thing he had to do was to help the team relieve the pressure on the inside. Therefore, in the sixth game? He took a semi-give-up attitude towards Cassel's defense. Later, he found out that he felt good and could not let go. He put on strength to him. However, he didn't expect the referee to suddenly tighten the scale? He did not give him the chance to abuse the veteran with his body.

Throughout the game, Wei Xia did not touch the referee's degree? Every defense tests the referee's sensitive belt. Every whistle coming to him means that the referee's sniper point is touched in place? So it looks like a flood of a dam? It leaks like a bet.

Wei Xia walked back to the locker room, which was quiet and silent, and no one was intent to speak.

Most of those who are heartless also know that now is not the time to speak.

How many minutes have passed? Phil Jackson entered the locker room? He looked at the players, "Don't doubt yourself because of the success or failure of a series. The road to success is destined to be full of thorns. The more painful we get by it, the stronger we will become? In my opinion, you are full of potential? There is great potential in the future!"

So, they got together? They held hands and shouted slogans for the last time this season? Then they disbanded on the spot.

Home game? End the season at home? The benefits of being sent home to fish are reflected.

You don’t need to go back to the hotel or go home the next day. You can say everything you need to say and disband on the spot.

Jackson's rare gentleness, but Wei Xia couldn't let go.

The score difference in the end is too small. If he performs normally, the Lakers will have a chance to drag the game into tiebreak.

But he failed to do it.

He doesn't want to blame the referee, he doesn't want to blame the whistle for being tight and loose. The referee's standard is comparable to that of women during menstruation. It would be too stupid to expect to understand their emotions.

Since you are determined to become an elite defensive player, figuring out the referee's standards is the main homework in each game. Only by figuring out what the referee allows for confrontation and the unsupported confrontation standards can you put aside your concerns and make a good defense.

Tonight, Wei Xia failed.

"Do you want to have a drink?"

It's Kobe's voice.

"Where?" Wei Xia asked directly.

"Come with me," Kobe said decisively.

Wei Xia brought very few things and put them in her backpack and followed Kobe out.

"It's so late, it will be misunderstood for two men to come together in such a place." Wei Xia naturally resisted.

Kobe sneered, Wei Xia didn't even need to confirm, his sneer must have the words "hum and stinky".

That's right, everyone in Los Angeles knows Kobe.

It is impossible for those who know Kobe to know that he was a notorious rapist a year ago.

How could a rapist be bent?

As for Wei Xia, the six games against the Suns in the first round of the playoffs and the comeback in the semi-finals allowed him to seize the front page of many California areas, especially Angel City's heavyweight media.

His face is highly recognizable in the Los Angeles area.

Moreover, because the good news reporter intends to share his story with fans, it is basically well known that Wei Xia was dumped by her girlfriend twice during high school and college.

So, no one would suspect that they were bent.

Kobe picked the side and sat down and ordered two glasses of whiskey.

"If you're still thinking about the game, if you think we're losing to you, don't blame me for laughing loudly." Kobe said lightly.

Kobe is competitive?

Kobe is jealous of defeat?

It's really the biggest lie in the world.

How can people who are competitive and jealous of defeated people laugh now? They still laugh at teammates who did not immediately get out of the shadow of the game.

"Or what do you want me to think?" Wei Xia asked, "I'm so happy that we lost?"

"Come on, you just came back from injury. No one expects you to play well. You have won one more game for us. You should be content. Bad performance in the sixth game is expected." Kobe said like a magician. "Losing is not your responsibility alone. I should get 3 more points, or our defense should give the Clippers less points, and the results will be different. You are just a rookie, and the responsibility for losing does not belong to you in any case. Understand(understand?)?"

"Promise me something."

"What?"

"Don't treat others as much as you treat me. Your comforting skills are the worst among the people I see." Wei Xia said bluntly.

The waiter brought the whiskey.

Kobe seemed to have accepted failure faster than Wei Xia, or he had already foresawed failure. Failure seemed inevitable for him.

The Lakers have no dominant advantage in the inside of the Lakers against the Suns, and the absolute strength of the outside is not as good as Wei Xia and Kobe.

Many factors determine that the Lakers can defeat the Suns, but cannot defeat the Clippers, which are obviously not as powerful as the Suns.

The phenomenon of incompatibility of the ball exists, especially the extreme inside strength comparison between the Lakers and the Clippers. The advantages of the inside are unimaginable. The Clippers do not need complex tactics. Every game, faithfully implement the core tactical idea of ​​giving the ball to the inside and others to stay away.

"Summer, what are your plans?" Kobe suddenly asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I should spend a lot of time on training. I have many shortcomings." Wei Xia said modestly.

Then, he focused on dealing with the glass of whiskey that he could not finish.

Kobe asked unexpectedly: "Don't you want to know my arrangement?"

"No, I don't want to."

“BASTARDO.” (Italian: Dog comparison)

"What are you talking about?"

"I really appreciate your style of not asking around for trouble." Kobe said appreciatively.

Wei Xia said with a smile: "I thought you were scolding me in foreign language."

"How is that possible?" Kobe smiled falsely.

"Hmph, gesegia (Korean Bastard)." Wei Xia saw through Kobe.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, me? I just praised you in beautiful Korean."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Then they used a language that they could not understand, holding guns and sticks at the end of their words and greeted each other five or six sentences.

Because of insufficient "vocabulary reserve", Wei Xia defeated Kobe, who could almost use Italian as his native language.

Well, a person who went to college for two years suffered an uneducated loss in front of a person who had never been to college. He was really a shame to Villanova.

At twelve:30, Wei Xia and Kobe separated.

Since they all drank some wine, Kobe called two bodyguards with him, one to send him back and the other to send Wei Xia back.

His arrangement saved Wei Xia the trouble of finding a designated driver.

The alcohol made Wei Xia sleepy. As soon as he got home, he fell asleep without even taking a shower on the bed.

His consciousness quickly stepped past reality and flew to the wonderful 1960s.
