Chapter 548 This is the profession
"Wish suddenly appeared behind Eddie House, he stole the ball! Wish stole the ball!!!"
Weisha's grandfather Jerry Wayne was in a mood for the home team to win the championship, watching his grandson create one of the highest bright moments of his career.
This scene seemed to be redirecting him back 43 years ago, in the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals, John Haflicecke's steal.
Mike German's roar is reminiscent of Johnny Moster's sharp roar: "Havlicek stole the ball!"
That is one of the most classic commentary in basketball history.
Now, the same thing has happened.
Wish saved the Lakers, and his steals were even more significant.
When Haflicek steals the ball, the Celtics leads, and the 76ers send the ball and make sure to score a goal to win. If Weisha keeps dropping the Celtics' serve and enters a tactical foul, it is called a timeout to arrange a three-point shooting, and the Celtics have a great chance of winning.
However, when everyone was not optimistic, he cut off Sam Kassel's serve and made a buzzer-beating layup.
From intercepting the ball to winning, it is accurate to every step.
Haflicecke is Wayne's belief, but now he admits that Weisha's interception tonight is even greater than the legendary moment he witnessed on that night 43 years ago.
Good fight, Philip, good fight!
Wayne was not sad, he nodded with relief and quietly left the sad North Shore Garden.
Compared to the ecstasy of the players, the surprise of the opponent, the sadness of the fans and the schizophrenia-like excitement of the commentator, Phil Jackson felt more of helplessness.
A kind of helplessness that is out of control.
He knew, others knew that Weisha gave up Ray Allen's pursuit of Eddie House, which was his own arbitrary decision, which was completely different from the arrangements during the suspension.
If the Lakers lose because of this, he will bear all the responsibility.
What made Jackson angry was that Wei Xia succeeded, and he was now a great hero, and he could not express more about the latter's propositions.
Wei Xia succeeded. In those brief moments, he believed in himself and went to the next heavy bet.
Even a great person like Michael Jordan, Kobe, and Shark, listen to Jackson's words, why does he believe in himself?
Jackson's feelings for Wei Xia have always been deep and complex.
On the one hand, everyone knows his severity towards Wei Xia.
On the other hand, only he may know his appreciation for Wei Xia.
Since Wei Xia's rookie season ended, he knew that if the Lakers want to win the championship, they cannot do without him.
Including later, Wei Xia caused trouble outside the court, but he did not stop, advise, but just waited and watched. He watched with his own eyes that Wei Xia, who had not yet become a superstar, was under the media pressure from Kobe when the Eagle County incident occurred. He wanted to see if this pressure would crush Wei Xia or shape his stronger heart.
After the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers' post-match press conference is still being discussed today.
From that day on, Jackson believed that the younger generation in the United States was finished.
There is so much important information in Wei Xia's words: the US government selectively reported, the media captured the situation, and the anti-intellectual education indoctrination... They perfectly avoided the focus of Wei Xia's criticism. Many young people just thought that Wei Xia's way of attacking the US government was cool, so they turned to him mindlessly.
It was those things that made Jackson truly recognize Wei Xia.
Today is a day to refresh Jackson's cognition.
wish... At the critical moment of life and death, he did not believe in anyone, but only believed in his own judgment.
No one can shake him.
Is this OK? Jackson looked at the score that had been frozen.
There is no doubt that the Lakers won the game today with Wei Xia. Without him, game6 is likely to be a massacre.
It was his thunder in the third quarter that delayed the game; it was his defense in the fourth quarter that awakened Kobe's offense; it was him who completed the steal that was destined to be engraved in the history of the Lakers, allowing the game to enter the tiebreak.
When Jackson faced the reporter, the other party asked a question: "Coach, what do you think of this round-route game?"
The Zen master smiled and replied: "This is the only way to become a champion!"
The best player in the game is undoubtedly Wei Xia.
He scored a game-high 28 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals, and three data dominated the top spots of the two teams. His score was more than Kobebe and more rebounds than Garnett, making Game6 a game destined to be remembered by his name.
The reporter asked: "What made you complete a big reversal on the road?"
"Game5's defeat." Wei Xia was like a stingy guy with no stomach, "We want Boston to know what this feels."
What is certain is that his opponents now know what it feels like to lose like this.
In the end, it was inevitable that he would answer the interception.
Wei Xia said modestly: "There is no special secret. I saw through their tactics and did what I should do. What should be remembered is my teammates, and it is their support that I can do this."
After the on-site interview, Wei Xia was about to enter the locker room, when he saw an old man standing above the locker room.
Even though he had white hair and was old, Wei Xia still recognized his identity.
John Haflicek, a man who has been playing a role-playing role in fusion while sleeping for many years.
Weisha had imagined the scene where he met Haflicek, but it was not so sudden.
He knew they would meet sooner or later.
Wei Xia originally wanted to say hello, but he didn't expect Havlicek nodded slightly to him and turned around and left.
Wei Xia looked at it for a long time, and it was not until Havlicek's figure disappeared from sight that he walked into the player channel.
After this battle, the score was tied 3-3. Both sides had to return to North Shore Garden in two days to fight for a tiebreak.
When Wei Xia walked into the locker room, her teammates were afraid that he would be too excited and spontaneously came to him and sprayed him with bottles of ice water.
He covered his body innocently, "What are you doing?"
"After all, you've become a key gentleman for the first time. We did this for your own good." Fisher laughed.
first?
Wei Xia doesn’t like to listen to these words, he has always been the key teacher!
Wei Xia looked resentful. It was unreasonable to be treated like this even though he became a savior.
It was only after Phil Jackson came in that the locker room returned to peace.
The Zen master praised the players' enterprising spirit of hard work, "If we can win the sixth game, we can win the seventh game, and Boston will definitely be conquered by us!"
That being said, winning the seventh game in Boston is something that the Lakers have never done in history.
In the Magician era, the Lakers and the Celtics only played a tiebreak in one round and were defeated.
Going further ahead is the entire 1960s, regardless of home and away games, I never won the tiebreak.
The significance of defeating the Celtics in the seventh game is not just conquering Boston, but also the first victory in the Lakers' history against the Celtics' tiebreaker.
Jackson gave the team members an injection to refresh their minds and then took Wei Xia and Kobe to the visiting room.
On the way to the visiting room, Jackson was taciturn.
Kobe glanced at Wei Xia.
His eyes and Wei Xia collided.
Kobe knew that Wei Xia and Zen master were thinking about the last round. Wei Xia suddenly went to chase House and finally stole the serve to help the team turn defeat into victory. Although it was a good thing, it completely violated Jackson's instructions.
Kobe wants Wei Xia and Jackson to explain clearly.
Wei Xia wanted to explain at first, but later she thought it out loud. No matter how much she explained, she couldn't explain it clearly.
Because he clearly violated Jackson's orders, the result was good anyway. Even if Jackson had a knot in his heart, he had to put it there.
It was not Wei Xia who was uncomfortable, but himself.
The more Wei Xia thought about it, the more he felt that he should make Jackson feel uncomfortable, and then he fought against the abuse he had treated him for three years. What is this pain?
As his thoughts drifted here, Wei Xia walked into the visiting room with almost confidence.
The moment he entered the visiting room, Wei Xia, Kobe, and Jackson, who had a solemn expression in the last second, immediately had a trademark smile on his face.
This is professional.
Wei Xia sat on the far right as usual, but the first question of the reporter was to ask him.
"Did you decide to cut off the Celtics' serve from the very beginning?"
A dangerous question, if you answer the wrong answer, Jackson will misunderstand that Wei Xia did not take his words seriously.
"No, that was an accident."
After saying that, Wei Xia smiled flawlessly.
Chapter completed!
