Chapter 597 Lead us back to the playoffs

Seeing Cousins' disgust towards the reporter, Wei Xia thought to himself that there will be consequences for him.

He was once slandered by the media, and he knew what it would be like to watch a group of people who don’t know him using their work to stir up trouble and disrupt the audio-visual video.

His life was almost destroyed by the media, but Cousins's draft prospects were really hurt by the media.

His resentment towards the media is understandable.

Wei Xia disappeared from Cousins. As he said, after all, this child was too serious. If he showed his identity in person, he might think that "wish is a bastard who likes to tease young people." He is not.

The trial that day ended, Ed Stefansky gave scouts, coaching staff and Wei Xia to the second floor for a meeting.

To sum up today's trial training, Cousins' performance is eye-opening.

Judging from his performance, he is obviously better than Favors, but his overall performance is not full marks. He is late and sees the big ones from the small. This is something that can see Cousins ​​himself clearly.

He has a good side and a bad side.

What is happy is that the good side on him gives him an extremely high ceiling. The bad side can also make him a mediocre player.

Before the meeting, Wei Xia searched for some information related to Cousins ​​through the Internet.

Before the trial for each team, Cousins ​​participated in a group trial held at the Chicago United Center.

Due to poor performance on the basketball court, he and most of the most promising players on the court - refused to participate in the rest of the Tests.

The group trial at the United Center was not originally prepared for the draft's favorites.

Often, those who have poor draft prospects and feel that they have real skills but have not met Bo Le will choose to use their full strength in the group trial training of the United Center and show their strength in front of scouts and management personnel of various teams in the league.

It doesn't matter if an S-level rookie like him screws up a trial.

The problem is that Cousins's character and maturity have always been questioned by scouts, and the media has magnified it intentionally or unintentionally, as if to confirm the matter.

However, Cousins ​​himself also gave him a chance. If he hadn't made so many troubles, even if the media deliberately framed him, there would be no reason.

After the joint trial, Cousins ​​still has the opportunity to improve his position. If he shows his willingness to become mature in the interview, he will even have the opportunity to threaten his teammate John Wall's No. 1 pick.

His interview was fine at the beginning.

"This doesn't bother me at all, because I'm looking forward to it."

"This is my biggest question, and this is the main question I'm looking for," he explained in detail, hoping you guys can ask those questions, "so that I can tell you the truth. I'm not that kind of person."

Reiterated many times, he wanted to be asked sharp questions about his maturity and character so that he could use the opportunity to refute those misunderstandings.

When asked what he wanted people to see, he said he wanted people to see the "truth".

"I'm a good person."

He said repeatedly.

After the interview was in-depth, Cousins ​​let himself go, and he blamed the media for his troubles and immaturity.

When asked where his reputation came from, he did not say that he had made some mistakes in the past, nor did he wish he could control some of his reactions on the court.

He said concisely, “(it) comes from you(the media).

When asked whether his bad reputation will always follow him no matter what he does in the future, he said, "As long as you keep working hard, you will."

A reporter asked him if he would become a problem with the team.

In the interview video, Cousins' anger value suddenly increased by several equivalents: "It's ridiculous! As long as you talk to my teammates, you will definitely get the answer. Is this kind of thing convincing to me? Will you believe it?"

He is as willful as a child who never grows up, and he doesn't know when he should speak the scene or when he should not.

He may be very popular with black people.

This is called "keep real", but as a future star who is about to enter the NBA with a high ranking, he cannot handle the relationship between mold and excessive socialization, which is the biggest deduction term.

Weisha noticed that John Wall's comment on Cousins ​​also had a mystery: "People didn't realize that he was a loving person... just sometimes... sometimes..."

What a "just sometimes".

Overall, Cousins' performance in media interviews does not prove that he is a bad guy, although this may deepen the "misunderstanding" about his maturity.

He still didn't prove whether he was mature enough to be a professional player.

The trial training at the Joint Center and the interview with Moldy afterwards determined his reputation to a large extent.

Originally, his mock draft predictions were fluctuating and low, and it was possible at any position.

After media rendering and demonized propaganda, Cousins ​​is almost impossible to enter the top five choices, and there are many safer choices in the same position.

So he would be so disgusted with the media.

Today, the 76ers' scouts and coaching staff all saw how much influence Cousins ​​is when he entered the state.

At the meeting on the second floor, scouts were divided into two factions.

Conservatives, who are a minority, want to choose a safer Feworth, and the other party wants to take risks, with these people making up the majority.

Because the 76ers are looking for an inside core that can match Wei Xia, although there are many good players in the 2010 class, the only insider with core qualifications is Cousins.

Some other players may become core players in the future, but now they are still far from it.

"Wish, what do you think?"

Wei Xia never spoke because there was no need to speak.

Most of the people support choosing Cousins. Judging from Stefansky's expression, he definitely wants to choose Cousins ​​with better prospects.

"Demarcus is a very interesting person. He has many problems, but in my opinion, it is not uncorrectable." Wei Xia smiled faintly, "Even if he is a problem maker, it doesn't matter. I can live in peace with Kobe and get along with anyone."

The key point that supports the team in winning Cousins ​​is Wei Xia.

His career started in Los Angeles, which was a problematic team.

Who can make a great stride in the team that has Kobe, Byron Russell, Sprewell, Odom, Bynum, Smash Parker, Zen Master, and the Bass family that is chaotic every day?

The answer is Wei Xia.

Is it a problem for him to get such a complex network of relationships and get a Cousins?

"In addition to DeMarcus, I have a good candidate."

Everyone looked at him.

"Godor Hayward of Butler University, he is very tall and can fill our gap in the third position, with extremely high basketball IQ and shooting ability." Wei Xia praised Hayward as a flower, and said, "I look at him like looking in the mirror."

After listening to Wei Xia's advice, Stefansky looked at the scouts around him, wanting to hear their views on Hayward.

They basically acknowledge Wei Xia's evaluation.

Just one thing.

"Gorden's expected pick is Lotto, and if not, it won't surpass the 15th pick in the first round, and if we want to get him, we have to trade."

Stefansky listened to his subordinates' analysis and squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about some plan.

If Iguodala came to give his opinions, Stefansky would only smile disdainfully.

Wei Xia is different.

Despite experiencing the ACL tear, he averaged 33 points per game in the past season, winning the scoring champion and a team. After the All-Star Weekend, if he hadn't compromised and taken the initiative to hide at critical moments, the 76ers would have won more games, and then he would not have had the worries today.

Because they are almost impossible to get such a high ranking.

Philadelphia local, scoring champion, a while, 26 years old, just hope the team chooses a young man he admires very much, the ranking is not very high...

Stefansky put Hayward on the list of "must succeed".

The discussion on the draft lasted for nearly an hour. In addition to saying that he could be a teammate with the problematic boy, Wei Xia played that suggestion.

After the meeting, Stefansky invited Wei Xia to have dinner together.

It’s useless to eat nothing.

Wei Xia accepted it, and Stefansky brought Wei Xia to the Chinese restaurant - he knew that Wei Xia was a Chinese restaurant and there were even rumors on Twitter that he was naturalized in China because of Chinese food.

During dinner, Stefansky didn't say anything about work most of his time.

It was not until he got off the table that he expressed his thoughts: "We will find a way to get the signing rights of the young man from Butler University, but we will definitely lose some players, and only if we lose, we will gain."

"I understand." Wei Xia nodded.

"Wish, take us back to the playoffs!" Stefansky had high hopes for Wei Xia.

Wei Xia originally wanted to say that if the 76ers were not determined to play badly last season, he would have a chance to bring the team into the top eight of the Eastern Conference starting from the New Year.

The East is not as wild as the West, and it only takes 41 wins to reach the top eight. It is not impossible to do all your strength, but if you do so, you will not go far even if you enter the playoffs and you will lose the opportunity to replenish your talents.

Therefore, Wei Xia can only say now: "This is certain, sir."
