Chapter 588 Boss Lu Wei
Although the 76ers' December started with a failure, Wei Xia gradually regained some of the touch.
After making remarks that "although the league is at the bottom, it has a bright future like the Thunder", Wei Xia was ridiculed by many people.
Immediately afterwards, against the Charlotte Bobcats, he scored 48 points and 6 rebounds with a 50% shooting percentage, proving again in front of Michael Jordan: It was a huge mistake for you not to choose me at the beginning.
Four years have passed, and the rookie selected by the Bobcats in 2005 has passed the inspection deadline.
Youdao is a rookie for three years, and the 2005 players are already in the fifth year of entering the league. You can see clearly whether it is a mule, a horse or a dead horse.
Sean Mayn's injury faded out of the league.
Although Redmond Felton became a stable starter, he could not satisfy the team.
You know, the Bobcats used the draft pick that could choose Wei Xia to choose Felton.
Several years have passed, Wei Xia has gone from substitute to All-Star, to the best team, to the finals MVP, and Felton is still at the same level.
He averaged 14 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds per game, and had a shooting percentage of over 40%. This is completely unacceptable.
Every time Felton is disappointing, the commentators tear their wounds: "This is the player Charlotte skipped the wish choice."
Tonight, the critics said another harsh word.
"This is the player who is misrated by mj!"
If Wei Xia, who scored 48 points, was not enough to make Jordan angry, then the pass from Tyson Chandler, who was in front of him, was hit by Tyson Chandler in front of him but was pushed in front of Elton Brand, made him angry.
The inside line needs a ball, but someone in front of him either refuses to give it or gives a lob that his opponent cannot touch and hit the earth?
The camera was cut to Jordan, and his Cuban wife covered her mouth with a shocked look. Jordan shook her head in disappointment, and muttered words starting with f.
Then, the home commentator did not let the home team go: "Wow, is this the player we gave up wish for without hesitation? He is really great!"
Needless to say, the Bobcats are becoming a joke for the entire league.
Wei Xia led the team to defeat the Bobcats and won their first victory in December.
48 points were the double highs of his career and season. The reporter pointed his microphone at him and asked him what he thought.
"I just want to win." Wei Xia replied seriously, "this is the only thing I'm thinking about."
It is certainly a good thing that Wei Xia’s warms up his touch, but winning is never a person’s mission.
Moreover, the warming feel is limited.
He did not recover from his shooting percentage of just over 30% to his shooting percentage. If there was any, it would not be a recovery, but instead took the Rockets.
His shooting percentage has been restored from 30% to 40%, which is his due level.
He faces pressure from the Lakers, second only to Kobe, and can properly choose to shoot, and scored a 47% shooting percentage in the third season.
The 76ers did not have Kobe. After Iguodala was reimbursed for the season, he assumed the unlimited right to fire.
The ball has enough control, and the 76ers plan to feed him into a sharpshooter.
The first time he assumed the offensive core, the first time he had unlimited shooting rights, and the first time he was focused on being guarded by the opponent like Kobe, and the shooting rate was inevitable.
His average shooting percentage of 31% in November shows that he is completely unacceptable to the intensity of the game.
Now, he slowly recovered.
However, winning is still difficult.
Losing to the Nuggets 10 points and defeating the Pistons 4 points. Then, Eddie Jordan couldn't bear to put Louis Williams on the bench and fixed his role as the sixth man.
The media asked him: "Why should I put the road on the bench?"
Jordan's answer is classic: "Because he looks like a boss on the court, we need to obey him, let him complete the offense he is best at, and use a lot of manpower to make up for his defensive shortcomings. Everyone is like his employees, but he is not as good as Ai, who can use his offense to dominate the game. We have to admit that Ai is unique, Louis is Louis, and he will never be Ai, so I think it's time to change it."
Jordan's classic words lies in his description of Lou Wei's presence, and at the same time, he gave Lou Wei a nickname called "Boss".
The reporter asked again: "So, who are you going to fill in Louis's position?"
"This is still being discussed internally."
Think about it, Jordan's mediocrity is visible. But he can't blame him. Letting Lu Wei return to the sixth man position is a risky decision. Choosing who he will replace his starting lineup will determine whether the remaining game of the 76ers will be successful.
When Lu Wei was invited back to the sixth position, there were not many people who could choose the main point guard of the 76ers.
Jodie Meeks (jodie sg), the figure of the point guard and the style of the play of the segment guard, will be a disaster for him to take charge.
Roy Away (royal ivey pg) is a pure point guard, but his strength is a problem. He entered the league in 2004 and has always been a substitute. He is more than inferior to the top and has more than the bottom. He has changed many teams but has not stabilized.
In the future, he will join Guangdong South China Tigers, but he will not be able to help the CBA dynasty team regain glory. On the contrary, he will meet the Beijing team of Stephen Marbury who has been baptized by socialism. He was completely defeated by Lao Ma, who was nearly 40 years old at the time, and then replaced - the only thing this story has a comforting effect on him is that the foreign aid that Guangdong used for his exchange was still completely defeated by Lao Ma.
Then, it's gone.
Oh, right, there is one more.
Ju Holiday, No. 17th pick in the first round of the 2009 draft.
He came from a draft that was widely disapproved, not a lotto, but just a 193 cm tall in the middle of the first round. After UCL playing Darren Collison as a deputy, he entered the NBA, and was pushed to the development path of dual-sports by the 76ers player development coach.
I hope he will become a two-way player who can play in two positions within three years - able to defend and attack.
But now, he is still too young.
Who will let the starter play?
Eddie Jordan and the coaching staff discussed this issue for a day.
Finally, it was decided that instead of letting those players who could already draw conclusions play the starting lineup, it was better to pull out the seedlings and encourage growth.
Believe in Holiday's adaptability and believe that he can be a good starter, even if it is a fake starter with less than 25 minutes per game.
After the discussion was completed, Jordan called Holiday.
After a greeting, I suddenly told Holiday: "You will be our starting number one position in the future games. Are you confident?"
As a result, Holiday not only became the first post-90s player in NBA history, but also the first post-90s player to start.
The 76ers schedule is not easy to play.
In the next five games, the opponents are the Rockets, Warriors, Cavaliers, Celtics and Magic.
Including the Rockets who own Yao Guo, there are 2, four playoff teams and one Nervous Knife team.
The game with the Rockets became Holiday's first starter.
Wei Xia lost three-pointers from the outside, so she had to attack the inside. The problem is, Yao Yun is not afraid of you, he is afraid of you shooting outside.
His athletic ability is not top-notch and his wingspan is relatively not long. However, he leans at the basket with a size of 229 cm. Those who dare to rush in to the face are either Swift or Cameron Anthony, and even James has to respect him for three points when he sees him.
"Thanks to Yao Yun, Wei Xia scored 25% of the game and led the team to fight for defense and scored at a critical moment with the Rockets.
Yao Yun made two turnover jump shots and key free throws to help the Rockets win.
Tonight, Yao Yun scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and shocking 9 blocks.
9 blocks were Yao Yun's career high, surpassing the 8 blocks in a single game against the Lakers four years ago - Wei Xia was also present in that game. Yao Yun's 8 blocks, he contributed half of them. If Kobe hadn't scored 56 points like a killer god, the Rockets would have won that game.
But today, Wei Xia gave Yao Guang 6 blocked 9 times, and Kobe was no longer around him. Even though he led the team to fight for defense, the Rockets, who had only one star but could not be shot in the confrontation, was trapped in the mud pit of confrontation, and Yao Guang, who dominated the game on the defensive end and was unstoppable on the offensive end, still dominated the critical moment.
"Wish is a smart player." Yao Yun did not evaluate his performance with Wei Xia's shooting percentage. "He felt very bad today, but we all saw how he adjusted. He brought aggressive defense and sent 7 assists, which was very comprehensive and excellent. If his feel was better, it would be changed."
Finally, he showed off a well-known sense of humor: "But I am still grateful to him for helping me set a record for single-game blocking in my career."
