Jordan once said in his personal documentary that everyone thinks Michael Jordan is cool, but no one wants to be Michael Jordan 24 hours. That means you have 20 hours to wear a mask, there are spotlights everywhere, and there are a group of reporters following you everywhere.

Wei Xia is very lucky that he is far from this level.

Jordan is a pop culture idol of an era, and Wei Xia is just chasing honor as an active superstar. The traffic off the court, not to mention that he is different from Jordan back then, even with James and Kobe.

It was very tired just to lead a team, and Wei Xia was not sure if he still had the energy to deal with things off the court.

There were several major events in December, Durant went wild, Kobe was injured immediately after his comeback, and the Lakers started to play the bad mode - Christmas Eve, the Thunder and the Heat were in a battle.

Durant suppressed James, his fangs so sharp and terrifying that his fierce offensive intentions exposed his ambition to usurp the throne.

The Thunder defeated the Heat.

On the other hand, the 76ers and the Knicks also met on Christmas Eve.

However, the Knicks are not strong teams. They were strong teams before, but not now. Jason Kidd's retirement brought the team's order back to the past. Cameron Anthony struggled in the vortex of unable to drive his teammates. All the situations show how powerless Anthony is.

The 76ers defeated them, Wei Xia scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and easily won the victory.

The victory against the Knicks allowed the 76ers to maintain a full victory record in December.

Including the game at the end of November, the 76ers have currently won 18 consecutive victories.

Every time a winning streak increases, the pressure increases by one point.

They are eager to unload their burdens, otherwise the burden of winning streak will sooner or later crush them.

But who is willing to take the initiative to lose and end his winning streak?

At the end of the month, against the Bobcats, the Bobcats, who had previously scored the highest score in their regular season career by Wei Xia, were involved in a tough battle.

Al Jefferson made Cousins ​​dizzy with the classical inside attack that was about to be eliminated.

Cousins ​​competed with the referee, as if he was eager to prove that it was unreasonable for being called a foul. He made continuous excessive moves.

The referee called him three times in a row, but he talked back and took a technical foul; he was dissatisfied and was called a second technical foul and was expelled on the spot.

This kind of scene is no longer new to his teammates. Cousins ​​always comes this time every month. The 76ers internally analyzed that he may need to vent his emotions regularly, so it is okay to go crazy occasionally.

Cousins ​​left the field, but the 76ers couldn't find a way to integrate into the rhythm of the game.

The Bobcats, who were slaughtered by them in Philadelphia last time, returned to their home court and ended the long winning streak of the 76ers.

Jefferson and Kemba Walker made great contributions.

The termination of the winning streak brought the 76ers back to the starting point, and Wei Xia, who only scored 19 points, did not feel relieved.

"We shouldn't have lost, it's an embarrassing defeat."

Wei Xia said this and walked into the player channel.

In the locker room, the atmosphere of the 76ers team changed a bit.

Cousins ​​was angry, Farid complained about his playing time, Hollins accused his teammates of not being tough enough, Hayward felt that Holiday's sharing ball was unreasonable, and they were arguing.

After Wei Xia entered the locker room, the chaos stopped, but the problem was not solved.

Losing the ball made everyone's resentment burst out.

"I would feel sorry if you have difficulty speaking in front of me."

Wei Xia wanted to hear other people's opinions, but his appearance was like the head teacher entering the classroom making everyone shut up.

"When I quarrel with the referee, you never talk to me, so those bastards will target me again and again!" Cousins ​​suddenly got angry, "Now you are calling here for the time and right to play. Why don't you get angry with the referee if you have this skill?"

Cousins ​​may not be a bad guy in the traditional sense, but the people on the team are afraid that he will be better than Wei Xia.

He is unreasonable.

"Boge, no player who has played against the referee has ended up not having a good ending since ancient times." Hayward spoke out why everyone did not help Cousins.

Cousins ​​shouted: "Okay! Then let me do this alone, but can you guys stop arguing about trivial matters all day long!"

"If they don't say it, they can only hide it in their hearts. It's better to just vomit it." Wei Xia looked at the others, "What else is there?"

Farid once again made his appeal: "I deserve more playing time, and everyone can see how complementary I and DeMarcus are. I shouldn't have less than 20 minutes per game."

"It's better to give the starter to you. Since you and DeMarcus are so complementary, the coach will definitely let you be the starter." Sadies Young said sarcastically.

Farid didn't dare to say anything again, and Yang Rui's tone calmed down.

Holiday apologized in public: "I did not do a good job in the distribution of ball rights tonight, and I have a great responsibility for this loss."

Wei Xia looked at them and said seriously: "I can't resolve your dispute with the referee, and I can't increase your playing time, but I apologize for tonight's game. If I play better, we will definitely win the game, but I don't, Sauri."

"If we expect wish to dominate the game, we will not go far in the playoffs, and others must take responsibility." Odom said appropriately. "It's only December, and we blame each other for a loss. Some people are dissatisfied with the referee, some are dissatisfied with the ball, and some are complaining about playing time. These problems exist, but they cannot be solved in a short time. Focus on more important things."

The conflicts within the team are temporarily controlled.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there is no team that does not have conflicts.

An excellent team will correctly guide the negative energy in the team. Today, the negative energy of the 76ers broke out on the night when the winning streak ended, and at least a few spearheads appeared.

Cousins ​​hopes someone can help him fight the referee, he is dreaming.

Hayward has doubts about Holiday's ability to dominate the ball.

Hollins was unwilling to lose a game like this tonight, so he accused others of being not tough enough.

Farid's complaints about playing time are the most realistic, but the most difficult to satisfy.

Unfortunately, his power forward position is at the position where the 76ers' internal competitiveness overflows, and Sadies Young starts steadily, Farid, Hayes and Odom compete for time together.

More playing time is to prove yourself. Only by proving yourself can you sign a big contract. This is a whole chain relationship.

In the short term, Farid's requirement for playing time will be suppressed. Once his contract year approaches and he does not get the opportunity to show himself, he will undoubtedly become an unstable factor in the team.

What makes a championship-level team collapse often has nothing to do with basketball and games.

"Thank you, Lama."

On the way out of the arena, Weisha thanked Odom.

"This is the obligation of the old men." Odom smiled with a candy in his mouth, "Isn't the team going to do this?"

Before, Wei Xia handled similar things.

He has handled it well over the years.

Tonight, he felt tired in the locker room just like on the court, the kind of tiredness that he didn't want to take responsibility and wanted to be lazy for a night.

But he saw that if the situation was not controlled, the conflict would escalate.

To keep the team stable, every detail is not careless.

It's still far from the end of the regular season. This is his fifth season to lead the team. He was always nervous before. This year, their momentum is better than before. His string suddenly loosened, which frightened him.

"I did a good job before." Wei Xia kept walking in a normal pace. "For some reason, I suddenly forgot my responsibilities."

Odom rarely sees Wei Xia appearing tired. Perhaps being in a long-term tense state really makes him reach his limit? The season has just begun, and he must cheer up.

"Think about what Kobe would do?"

Even if he threw a stone to ask for directions, Odom's stone was thrown to the right place.

"Bryant?"

Wei Xia thought a little bit. Kobe's fifth season, who led the team alone, should be pursuing his second championship. As for him, he was lazy before he even got a championship.

By comparison, he felt even more guilty.

"Lama, thank you again."

"It looks like you've recovered?"

"I think so."

Odom became narcissistic: "It seems that I can give a special psychological counseling class in the future, and I am very good at this."

"Believe in yourself, you can really do it." Wei Xia sent a rainbow fart initiation, causing Odom to float away.
