Chapter 660 See you in the final
The All-Star Weekend ends, and the 76ers are fully preparing for the playoffs.
At the transaction deadline, 76 people have rumored to have an affair with the Celtics.
They want Kevin Garnett.
After Weisha's 70-point battle, the Celtics seemed to be hit in the knee by the arrow of fate, and Rajon Rondo was torn apart by the ACL, disrupting their plans and future.
With the immediate combat power of veterans in the team and the current system, it is not impossible to enter the playoffs, but there is no hope. If you take the opportunity to trade well and let the team enter the reconstruction in advance, Uncle Cat is not bad either.
The 76ers and the Celtics have what they want.
The Celtics want future and young body, while 76 people have been depressed for a long time.
If Garnett could come, the problem of the 76ers power forward would be solved, Cousins' defensive problem could be solved halfway, and the lack of Wei Xia's personality would also be solved. Everyone knows that Garnett is a natural master of inciting, and he can do many things that Wei Xia can't do.
Danny Angie's asking price discouraged the 76ers.
The 76ers bid was the first round of picks for the recovery of the injury, Sadies Young, and the 2013 and 2015.
Anji wants more than this, and he even looks down on the first-round pick in 2013. Because this is a talented draft, and few people want a reselling first-round pick. He wants the first-round pick in 2014 and 2016, and the first-round pick in 2017.
The 76ers gave up the deal involving 2017.
In terms of combat power, a Sadness Young is no less inferior to Garnett, who has been declining every year. Adding more draft picks is entirely the sincerity expressed in order to promote the completion of the transaction.
Anji regarded this as an opportunity for him to gain a better position, but unexpectedly, the 76ers stopped the transaction.
The scandal between them ended here. The Celtics took care of the old men and set out again. The 76ers failed to solve the hidden dangers of the power forward. What should it be, or what should it be.
February and even March will be named after the Miami Heat.
Originally, the MVP battle between Wei Xia, Durant and James was still superficial.
After these two months, there is no suspense about the regular season MVP.
James's Hot Team scored a rare 27 consecutive wins.
Wei Xia’s 76 people were one of the 27 corpses.
They met the Heat at the end of February, and the whole game was in a stalemate.
Compared with Wei Xia's attack that had to be cannibalized every game before the All-Star Weekend, after the All-Star Weekend, his offense became much milder, and more to sacrifice the ball to help the team, and his dominance on the scoring list gradually weakened.
At the end of February, his battle with James was broadcast live across the United States.
Wei Xia and James are the two most offensive and defensive superstars.
Wei Xia plays the offensive output of the scoring champion, and has DPOY-level defensive ability.
The 2012-13 season was the peak of James' personal ability, with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%. The champion of the suspension season broke his inner demons. He was confident and powerful, and he was at the best in all aspects. He also had the power of DPOY on the defensive end.
In this game, Weisha and James restricted each other.
One of them scored 19 points and the other scored 22 points.
James is more comprehensive, Wei Xia has more points, and the one who dominates the game is "Robin" Dwyne Wade next to James.
He scored 12 points in a row at the critical moment, defeating Hayward's defense and continuing the Heat's winning streak.
Both sides have done their best, and the 76ers are defeated and are the opponents are strong, so they have nothing to say.
At the same time, a news came from the west that had a great impact on Wei Xia.
Jerry Bass, the helmsman of the Los Angeles Lakers, died of illness.
In the NBA circle, everyone respects Bass so much that something relatively impossible happened.
He is the greatest professional basketball boss of all time, an influential businessman who controls one of the richest teams in the league... only one news about the bad situation of Old Bass never really leaked.
Over the past year, he has been struggling with cancer in a hospital bed, maintaining his privacy and dignity in a media atmosphere filled with Twitter and rumors.
No one knows that the Lakers' power has been gradually handed over to his beloved young son Jim.
And he was just waiting in the hospital for God to call him back.
Wei Xia has no good feelings for Old Bass. In Los Angeles, they have met very few times in a few years. Now he already knows who made him leave the Lakers.
It's Old Bass.
He felt that Wei Xia could not become the master of the next Angel City.
Wei Xia's performance in Philadelphia more or less proved that the other party was approaching the end of his life and made the worst decision in his boss's career. But before Wei Xia actually led the 76ers to win the championship, it still could not prove that Old Bass' decision was completely wrong.
Now he suddenly died and could not watch Wei Xia lead the 76 people to the top with his own eyes, so as to regret his decision. Wei Xia's mood was very complicated.
In mid-March, when Wei Xia met the Lakers again, they had already entered the seventh place in the Western Conference from the brink of the playoffs.
After the All-Star Weekend, although Howard is still the same, unhappy in playing pick-and-roll, and likes to embezzle the offensive space of outside players and play hard on low posts, the Gasol brothers can pull up space.
The tension in the inside line has decreased, so the outside line has a safe fire.
The Lakers have the most powerful frontcourt lineup in the league.
In this game, Wei Xia competed against Kobe.
From Wei Xia and Kobe, fans can see how great the power of time is.
For Wei Xia, this is particularly excessive.
Kobe in 2005 and Pierce in 2002 could both destroy the opponent's No. 2 position by relying on his strength, but now, they are like old middleweight boxers, relying on pace and dodging to deal with the young Man Bull. His knees can no longer support explosive jumps, and it is rare to accelerate and get rid of emergency stop jump shots. Even one-on-one single-handed matches that have entered the realm in 2009 are no longer common - so his defense has actually been slowly declining, and the distance from the single-defense target has been widened, and the rapid assisted defense inside line fills and ball-brushing has also completely disappeared.
On the offensive end, Kobe began to increase his off-ball movements, constantly starting from the corner, bypassing the cover of Howard and Gasol brothers, and getting to the free throw line, taking the pass and finding an open jump shot.
Kobe, who was young, longing for ball rights and ignoring the Sharks, played cleverly and reasonably more than ever before.
He even lost his signature "mid-distance emergency stop jump shot" and was able to use a more slippery posture to let his opponents: he relied more on the move, his teammates' cover and back, and entered his attack area: the right bottom line, the left wing waist position, and the basket.
He played lightly without any effort. Wei Xia, who had personally experienced his personal attack peak, could hardly imagine that this was the Lakers No. 8 who was fierce and quick, wishing he could swallow his opponents alive.
"You're old, Kobe."
When Wei Xia scored a three-pointer in front of Kobe, he said so.
"My heart is not old."
Kobe's response was to score a jump shot after running and followed by a tentative step.
"Will you let me shoot like this five years ago?"
Wei Xia, who used the ball to get rid of the score, asked lightly.
"I want to defend you more than anyone else, but you know, my legs and feet will always be unsatisfied when I get older." He could always shirk responsibility.
When Wei Xia got rid of Kobe's defense again and he could only wave his hand to direct traffic - swish! Wei Xia scored.
He looked at Kobe's legs and feet contemptuously: "These old legs really affect your defense."
Kobe just snorted unruly at Wei Xia's sarcasm.
What can he say? What can he say? This is the fact. Wei Xia, a bastard, likes to grab people's pain and sprinkle salt, so let's say less.
In the fourth quarter, Wei Xia, who kept her energy as vigorous as the opening, began to make Kobe feel difficult.
He could not keep up with Wei Xia's rhythm, and his shooting feel was scattered. Finally, Wei Xia completed the feat of attacking Kobe on the spot.
The time he had been waiting for for a long time has come.
45 points, 16 rebounds, 0 assists.
0 assists can prove how much he has invested on the offensive end.
For a person who averages 5.6 assists per game, 0 assists in a single game can only prove two things. Either the opponent completely cut off his contact with his teammates, or he only attacks but not passes from the bottom of his heart.
One minute before the end of the game, Kobe gave an insignificant response.
His three-pointer felt too late.
When the ball entered, the Lakers caught up to 7 points.
When he hit the second three-pointer and scored the gap to 4 points, the 76ers became nervous.
Fortunately, Wei Xia responded with three points in time to lock in the victory.
"It's almost." Kobe shook his head regretfully.
The 76ers won the game, and Wei Xia and Kobe shook hands and hugged each other.
"See you in the finals," said Kobe.
Wei Xia wanted to tease him a few words, but Kobe was unusually serious and serious, so that his smile stopped in time.
"See you in the final."
Chapter completed!
