Chapter 398 History Lesson (5/49)
That night, the All-Star Game, which should be the highlight, was quite boring.
Wei Xia originally wanted to witness the All-Star strike in 1964. When the bosses compromised, his time travel ended.
As a result, when the game started, he had not returned to reality.
Based on his past experience in participating in historical events and returning to reality, he remembers that there are two ways to do it.
One is to be disturbed by external forces and forced to wake up.
When he was 15 years old, he first traveled to Havlicek to fight the retirement battle, but was woken up by Mei Chen.
Another type is to participate in the entire process of historical events and wake up naturally.
It seems that today is the second type.
In the eyes of modern fans, the All-Star MVP is worthless, but in fact, the earliest All-Star game did not have the concept of weekends and holidays, nor the concept of performances, for the players at that time, it was just a regular season that was not counted in the victory or defeat.
The difference from other regular seasons is that teammates are all leaders from various teams, and so are opponents.
The MVPs won in such a battle of immortals are much more valuable than those of later generations.
The same is true for today's game.
The two dominant forces that have the ability to control the victory, Russell in the East and Chamberlain in the West, have not received too much ball rights.
Russell has never been the Celtics' number one offensive choice, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have the ball right. Chamberlain is a ball dominant in the team. Suddenly, a team that everyone wants to be his father and everyone wants him to lower his posture like Russell, and he doesn't do it.
Russell's moves were mostly inside the paint area, while Chamberlain was mostly outside the paint area.
When the game was over, they both grabbed the same number of rebounds: 21,
The difference is hit rate.
Chamberlain scored 19 points with a shooting percentage of 28%, while Russell scored 13 points with a shooting percentage of 45%.
West, controlled by Baylor and Weisha, took off their clothes and persisted in extremely low temperatures for 15 minutes because the scene in the locker room was too hot. Both of them caught a cold and performed poorly.
But the All-Star Game still made a real hit.
ABC is not very satisfied with the content of the game. He believes that the star-studded stadium did not play the interesting things that the audience is interested in. The same is true for the ratings. The current people who own TVs are middle-class families? Most of those people have prejudice and discrimination against black people. If the content of the game is not attractive, change the channel in minutes.
The All-Star Game in 1964? It’s hard to say that the exciting game is exciting? The truly exciting one ended long before the game started.
In the 1960s, when the scores were often scored to 120/130/140 points? The two sides ended 114 to 109.
Eastern stars struggle to win the defensive battle? The AMVP title fell on Oscar Robertson's head.
He was as tough on the court as off the court, and won many ball rights, earning 23 shots and countless ball holding time to exchange for 26 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists, the undisputed star of the star.
At the end of the game? West sneezes.
It was that sneeze?
He opened his eyes and seemed to see the tense Boston Gardens in the evening of 1964, Auerbach and his disciples broke into each other? The bosses of each team rushed to enter the locker room to take the players away, but none of the All-Stars took a step out of the locker room before the capitalists made compromises.
If the bosses did not compromise that night? If the result of the internal voting of the players was not 11-9 but 9-11, go further? If Bob Cousey did not promote the establishment of the Players' Guild in 1964, if the timer did not introduce basketball games... Basketball has been on the verge of destruction many times? But it has survived? Wild growth? All the way became what Wei Xia saw today.
Perhaps that's why Bob Cousey was considered GOAT when he retired in 1963.
This is why Oscar Robertson doesn't seem to have any convincing honors, but every time the media arranges the top ten or top fifteen in history, fans can always see his name.
What? Because of him, is he averaged triple-double per game? It would be too superficial if he really thought so.
He played an extremely tough role in the 1964 strike. Without him, the players might have been broken inside. Without him, he would have shaken off the boss's arms and shouted to stabilize the people's hearts. Perhaps the capitalists would open their own Kyle Carmen to capture Constantinople in one fell swoop.
But his achievements are more than that.
Robertson's role in the 1964 All-Star Strike made people see his leadership, and he became the third president of the Players' Guild after Heinthorne and played a decisive role in the lawsuit against the abolition of the reservation clause 1.
1 Retention clause: within one year of the end of the player's contract period, the player cannot become a free agent, and the home team still reserves the right to sign him. If the player is unwilling to be bound by this clause, he must sacrifice his peak for a year as a commentator or something like Rick Barry, and he cannot play. The slave-owner-style rule started from the beginning of the NBA establishment. Big O abolished it.
Look at what these people do, is it really better than the black and white two-strong men saving the NBA, Jordan pushing the NBA to the whole world, and is Curry starting the small ball era lighter?
Wei Xia got up and walked to the bathroom to wash.
Last night's events were still hitting his mind, and he hadn't reacted from the All-Star night.
What's worse is that he was participating in a big event like a world-renowned world in his sleep, but he wanted to participate in another All-Star in reality.
However, before the All-Star Weekend arrives, the Lakers have six games left.
The match with the Wizards last night was Odom's comeback debut. What is unsettling is that he is not in good shape.
Compared to him at the beginning of the season, it is like two people.
Wei Xia finished what she should do after getting up, and when she looked at the time, it was only 7 a.m.
He took a room card and left the room and went to the restaurant for breakfast.
Some people have not lived a hard life, so they do not know how to cherish it.
Wei Xia should have been like this, but who told him to go back to the past every night and experience the life of that era personally.
With good logistics support, everyone has a business class aircraft, a five-star hotel, any role player can sign an annual salary of one million, and its incalculable business influence... Many things are unimaginable to predecessors.
Wei Xia ate his breakfast cleanly without leaving any left.
Even a dog who has been hungry for three days will not wash the plate cleaner than him.
After defeating the Wizards, the Lakers returned to home court to fight the Hawks for four quarters.
In the end, Kobe's mid-range jump shot was definitely defeated.
Then, they started a hell schedule.
Eight consecutive away games.
However, if you analyze it carefully, it is not that scary.
Strictly speaking, we will first play five away games in a row, then usher in the All-Star Weekend, and then play three away games when the holiday is over.
It is equivalent to playing five away games, resting for about a week, and playing the remaining three away games.
Many people complain.
"Is this kind of schedule really a certain one?" Sprewell yelled on the plane, "Don't you treat us as human beings!"
Odom smiled and said, "Wish, go and give that old guy a history lesson!"
Whenever someone in the team complains that the league's schedule is inhumane, Wei Xia has to move out the past to educate them.
But today, he was in no mood.
No one wants to play such a hard schedule. If it weren't for the struggle of those people, today's players wouldn't have experienced the improved "hell schedule".
"It is not my duty to educate him, please be smart, please lean on your seat." Wei Xia said leaning against her seat.
"It's rare that you don't hold history classes today." Kobe seemed to be in a good mood. He was so excited about the happy events. He gave Arenas Staples 60 points last night. "Let me say it - you stupid old guy, how difficult it is, you can't stand it?"
Sprewell said unexpectedly: "You're going to take history class today?"
"That's the point!" Kobe said lightly, "In November 1977, my father took a break from a difficult schedule, so don't complain, maybe you will create another superstar in this journey."
The people on the plane laughed.
In fact, the schedule encountered by Kobe's father, Joe Bryant, in November 1977 was not as light as Kobe said.
At that time, Lao Qiao played for Philadelphia and was a teammate of Dr. J. In November, the 76ers played 15 games, including 8 away games. In just one month, they experienced a terrifying 7 rounds back-to-back and lost only one game. This is unique in the entire NBA history, and the rookie coach who retired as a player the previous season was the rookie coach.
In this busy schedule, Old Joe and his wife Pamela were still able to take time to plant the seeds for the birth of their third child. Their first child, Celia, was born in 1976 and had a second daughter, Shaya in 1977. Then, just nine months after the Sixers' home game before Thanksgiving, their first and only son arrived on August 23, 1978.
Kobe is not an excellent storyteller, and after he has been alienated from his parents, he doesn't like to mention his family's affairs.
Regarding this, his ability to adjust the atmosphere means that he is in an extremely good mood.
Seeing that he was smiling, Wei Xia did not disturb him.
The Lakers' pleasant atmosphere is only temporary, and the successive victory over the Wizards and the Hawks seems to prove the effect of Odom's comeback.
However, Odom was in a bad state, which was obvious.
