Chapter six hundred and sixty third bright battle
“It’s not the time to be happy.”
After winning Game 1, Wei Xia didn't feel relaxed at all.
The Knicks are very strong, which is an intuitive feeling. If you are careless, you will lose your home advantage.
"The 76ers are not as strong as you see. We will think of ways. Game2 sees us!"
Knicks's main defender Redmond Felton said boldly.
Felton and Wei Xia had a past event in college. The darkest moment of his college years was Wei Xia's most glorious moment.
When entering the NBA, the two had different situations. In order to attract fans to buy tickets, the Bobcats chose Felton in a signing position where Wei Xia could choose. The later development was just like the gap they showed in the NCAA. Wei Xia grew into a superstar, and Felton was far from Deron and Paul of the same class.
Now Felton said this, which means fighting spirit.
Wei Xia just smiled after hearing this: "I can only say I'm looking forward to it."
The expected Game 2 showdown between the 76ers and the Knicks is here as scheduled.
Tonight, the Knicks let Anthony put away his offensive edge and wandered around more, giving the point guard's ability a place to be useful.
The player who shined in this game was Pablo Prigioni PG, the Knicks' "rookie" Pablo Prigioni PG. This person only entered the NBA this year. As a rookie in 2012, he... is one year older than Kobe.
Before joining the NBA, he had a brilliant resume in Europe, the best point guard in the three Spanish ACB leagues, and also the Spanish defensive lineup and steal king of the year. Ginobili's close comrades are an important part of Argentina's golden generation and a rare and excellent commander.
Priginho's organizational ability, combined with the performance of bench bandit J.R. Smith, the Knicks' connection between the first and second quarters is unstoppable.
Like many players who returned to the NBA from the CBA league, he suddenly matured and played as a substitute in the Knicks. In addition to making three-pointers, he was also responsible for passing, planning, defense, and greeting teammates. He was like a rebellious young man growing up overnight.
Many people have the impression of J.R as a nerve knife. His shooting is indeed wandering back and forth in the super gods and super expensive curves, but his defense is greatly underestimated.
He played like a superstar on the offensive end, while Hayward was silent on the defensive end.
Cousins also didn't play well, and the 76ers' ball rights were concentrated in Wei Xia's hands.
The heavy offensive pressure prevented Wei Xia from continuing her good form since the first round, and the home audience, who was looking forward to a 2-0 home game, was disappointed.
1 to 1
"The New Yorkers stole their home advantage in Philadelphia!"
"I said, we will return it!" Felton was arrogant, "Is there any more powerful answer than this result?"
Even Anthony couldn't help but come out to provoke: "The final appointment between Wish and Kobe is just a beautiful story, we are the best team in the East."
The diode phenomenon is spreading, and it will be arrogant when you win a game, and the 76ers players are puzzled.
They were not so arrogant when they beat the Celtics, so Wei Xia said that they could defeat any team.
Now that they lost the game, it is understandable that no matter how arrogant the opponent is, no one really takes it seriously.
Before Game3 arrived, the NBA announced the major awards of the year.
Weisha, Kobe, James, Durant and Duncan were selected for the All-Squad.
At the same time, Wei Xia and James were also selected for the All-Defensive Team.
The most important personal award DPOY on the defensive end was won by Wei Xia.
Those who support James' election as DPOY complain that from high-level data, James' influence is higher than Wei Xia.
Moreover, they are all monsters that support the team's defensive system on their own.
No one can convince the other party that Wei Xia’s election as DPOY means one thing.
He is another player who won the double first team, DPOY and scoring champion after Michael Jordan.
An observer immediately said that Wei Xia's DPOY is incomparable to Jordan. After all, Jordan's competitors were Ewing, Mark Eaton, Olajuwon, and the four-double creator Elvin Robertson, while Wei Xia's opponents were James, Paul, Gasol Jr., Noah and Tyson Chandler.
However, there is no need to score a high or low score. There is no need to think that "My Grand Slam is stronger than your Grand Slam" is a subjective idea. After all, the scoring champion's best defensive player of the year is basically synonymous with dominating both offense and defense.
"It's not worth being happy to tie MJ, it would be great if I could surpass it."
Wei Xia looked very arrogant, but his tone was humble.
"They are valuable only when I win these personal honors, and if I can do it, it means that I surpassed the 1988 MJ this year. That would be my proudest achievement."
“We’re still on the way.”
When entering New York, Wei Xia came to play for the club.
This year's scoring champion and DPOY mean that he has also taken away the two "unique" of the two generations of 2003.
Winning the scoring champion for four consecutive years is a name that Wei Xia does not need to show off.
The scoring king is like an MVP. It’s fine if you have it, unless like Jordan, the number of scoring kings is so large that it has changed from quantitative change to qualitative change. Every time you mention honor, you have to put the domineering record of 10 scoring kings at the forefront.
This season is Anthony's closest season to the scoring champion, and his average score is second in the league, second only to Wei Xia.
Without Wei Xia, the scoring champion is his.
Before, he was suppressed by Durant and Wei Xia almost every year, ranking third in the average scoring list, so it is not appropriate for anyone to steal his scoring title. But this year, it is indeed robbed by Wei Xia.
James has repeatedly stated in public that he has invested a lot of energy on the defensive end this year.
People like him who don’t like to contribute in useless places and work so hard, naturally want to have a dominant season like Jordan that won DPOY.
It can be said that there will be no other year in his career to defend as hard as this year.
Wei Xia took away his only chance.
From this point of view, Wei Xia is indeed a great evil man.
He ruined other people's dreams and now he still has to kick other people's situations.
Game3, Madison Garden.
Every time Wei Xia holds the ball, the boo will cover him.
It was on this venue that he led Villanova to defeat the NCAA national champion Connecticut on that year.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is where his dream began.
The New Yorker's booed him like a wave, and his response was still a ball-holding breakthrough that despised the New York heroes' peripheral defense.
His purpose is always clear: Tyson Chandler.
There are many reasons why the Knicks are powerful. Some say Anthony, some say Kidd, and some say the North Carolina system brought by Mike Woodson plays a role.
But Wei Xia started out as a defensive player, and he knew how effective Chandler had in this team.
The data also supports Wei Xia's view.
During the suspension season, he won the defense player of the year. Half of it was because of his huge impact on New York.
Last year, New York averaged 106 points per game, 110 points per 100 possessions, ranking 22nd in the league in defensive efficiency. Last season, New York averaged 95 points per game, 101 points per 100 possessions, ranking 5th in the league in defensive efficiency. In the period when Melon and Stoudemire were injured and Jeremy Lin flew outside the sky, Chandler was the sky-high pillar of New York.
Half of it is because of the reputation he has accumulated before, especially when he won the championship with the Mavericks in 2011. Everything suddenly became different. He is no longer a "quasi-double center who is good at defense", but a "defensive player of the year".
Suddenly, he ignitably surpassed Stoudemire and became the No. 2 player in New York. For example, if we talk about the deal now, Anthony and him must be the two most untouchable.
His presence makes the defensive problems of others no longer so significant.
Cousins can't take advantage of him. If he can't find the correct shot outside the paint area, he will be guarded by Chandler until he dies.
If Cousins can have 70% of his defensive skills in the future, Wei Xia believes that they will become an unsolvable team.
Since entering the playoffs, Cousins' data has plummeted, falling from an inside line average of 2010 to an average of 157, with a shooting percentage of just over 40%.
His decline brought more pressure to Wei Xia.
He became much silent than before and competed with the referee less often because he really had no excuse to get angry with others, because he didn't play well by himself.
Wei Xia insisted on abolishing Chandler, which was to help Cousins rebuild his confidence.
Only by allowing Cousins to disappear from the basket can Cousins become that reliable inside cornerstone.
So, Wei Xia suddenly forgot how to shoot and persevered in the basket.
The Knicks wanted to stop it, but anyone who defended was taken one step.
Some people can follow the first step, but Wei Xia's breakthrough is not only explosive power, but also strength. To stop him, he must have enough strength, but someone with enough strength does not have the ability to keep up with his speed.
"In the first half, the 76ers' scores were all concentrated in the penalty area and the free throw line. He scored 18 points and then, he scored three fouls from Tyson Chandler."
New York celebrity Fraser said in surprise: "He knows exactly where the lifeblood of New York is."
When Wei Xia was killing the basket, the two sides were in a stalemate. When Chandler was replaced due to too many fouls, the 76ers took the initiative. Cousins was indeed a man who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Without Chandler, he immediately controlled the lightning and called the wind and rain.
Wei Xia's targeting hit the Knicks' biggest weakness, and Kenyon Martin could not replace Chandler's role.
Chandler came out and the defensive system collapsed. Wei Xia still didn't shoot, but his breakthrough and breakthroughs revitalized the entire team.
This is a game that proves that he is very different from Anthony.
Anthony is a pure and domineering offensive player, fighting alone.
Wei Xia is a stronger one-on-one fighter than Anthony, but his methods and skills are far more comprehensive than Anthony.
