The Spurs called their opening goal black in the finals "the only way to success."

Popovich has enough confidence in his disciples: "We have encountered many challenges along the way, and this is just one of them. We will get better."

Tim Duncan even said the words that excited countless Spurs fans early before the start of the finals, "We won't mess it up this time."

On the first day after Game1 ended, the training time for 76ers was half an hour earlier than usual.

Jay Wright lets the players concentrate in the video analysis room for a meeting.

Video analysis room often analyzes the opponent's strengths and weaknesses based on certain clips in the game.

The same is true today, Wright pointed to a clip of a certain round and said: "When we can suppress the Spurs' outside shooters and force them to focus the ball on the core players and we are one-on-one, we are sure to win."

"When we can increase our speed and gain an advantage with our youthful vitality, we will definitely win."

"I hope all of you can keep this in mind, our advantage is speed."

Wright's words echoed indoors.

Wei Xia listened quietly, and suddenly the picture cut to the match between Duncan and Cousins.

"D Marcus, can you assure me that this kind of thing will not happen again?"

The video showed a highlight of Duncan beat Cousins, focusing on the first section.

"I also responded later..." Cousins ​​felt from the bottom of his heart that the winner was the winner.

"The question is not whether you have any response, but that you make Tim Duncan look as brave as if he takes medicine that will never age." Wright pointed to the big screen, and the lens enlarged to see the details of Duncan's facial features. Thanks to this great era, the picture is so clear that even Duncan has a few white beards - if you are so idle.

Wright said: "The problem is that TD is 38 years old, and you are in your prime. You have been one of the best centers in the league in the past few years, but when you face TD, you will still be at a disadvantage. Such things must not happen again and again!"

Does Cousins ​​have room for excuse?

some.

He could justify himself this way: Last year, 37-year-old Duncan was selected for the first team as the center.

Most people know that 35 years old is the critical point for superstars, and most people will decline sharply from this age. However, the decline of superstars like Duncan, the top ten levels of history, is not that obvious. They will decline a lot after the age of 35, but they can maintain a good state from the age of 35 and until the age of 40.

That is to say, the peak period of this type of person is usually very long.

Cousins ​​did not make excuses for himself. After listening to Wright silently, he immediately said: "He will not get any advantage from me anymore."

"What a powerful guarantee." Rondo said sarcastically, "I don't believe a word."

Cousins ​​was then broken: "You can get Tony Parker first!"

After the meeting, Wei Xia was about to get up and go back to train, but Wright called him.

"Felix, do you have any thoughts about Kawhi Leonard?" Wright asked.

"He is a very interesting young man." Wei Xia said truthfully.

Wright asked: "When necessary, can you limit his performance while driving the defense of the 41 lineup like Game 1?"

Wei Xia has always said something and said quickly, "I will do my best."

Wright smiled with relief and said, "I will feel at ease with you, Felix."

"Just don't let me play power forward again." Wei Xia's sudden humor made Wright laugh awkwardly.

Jay Wright is probably the worst coach Wei Xia has met—specifically referring to college.

At the same time, he is the best coach Wei Xia met in the NBA - not entirely because of his coaching ability, but because he is the only one who calls Wei Xia Felix, not Wish.

Now almost everyone regards Wish as Wei Xia's original name. No one except his family will call him Felix.

This is also the reason why he likes China.

Every time he returns to China, no one will call him Wish or Felix, fans, reporters or others, he will call him his Chinese name Wei Xia.

The nickname always makes Wei Xia feel alienated from others. Maybe they think it's cool, but only the relationship that can be called by his name can be considered intimate.

Just like Larry Bird never called the magician "Maji", but called him "Evan" like a close friend.

When he returned to the training ground, most of the people were training, only one or two were lazy.

Wei Xia caught one of the senior lazy people: "Lama, stop lying there and eating candy, get up and exercise."

"For the sake of our revolutionary friendship during the LA period, let me go." Odom turned over, "I am an old man, I need to be well conditioned."

Having said that, Odom was born in 1979, and he was 35 years old, but he was born in November 1979, and the American algorithm is 34 years and 7 months.

Look at Nash who is doing training with Robertson over there, how could he be too embarrassed to be lazy?

"You don't have to be strong, just make a defensive posture." Wei Xia still let him go.

Odom's height makes him a high-quality defensive air.

Wei Xia used him to practice Tiangou.

Seeing him using one standard move after another, Odom was shocked.

"Who did you learn these techniques?" Odom asked.

Hearing this, Wei Xia touched Odom's body with an invisible sky hook.

Bang swish!

Front board

"Karim taught me step by step." Wei Xia swore that he did not lie.

Odom scoffed: "Nonsense! Since Andrew rejected his special training, he has vowed not to teach young people skills again. He would rather let this technology be lost!"

Jabbar's resentment has been around for a long time.

The Lakers' new centers are even bigger than the other, and they don't take his words and deeds seriously. He is a difficult person to get along with. He puts his face on his cold butt one after another, so how can he not be angry?

Wei Xia also spent a lot of effort in the old days to establish friendship.

Although it eventually became Havlicek's network of relationships, during the communication with Jabbar, he found that this person was the worst person, the most difficult to get close to, the most moody, the most difficult to determine with common sense, and the most distance he had ever seen.

Arrogant, mean, moody, basketball is just work rather than love, extreme racism, serious, likes to tease others but does not allow others to tease him... Fortunately, this person played basketball.

Thinking of those days, Wei Xia was still scared.

Fortunately, he melted Jabbar's ice heart with his full enthusiasm and indestructible cheeky skin.

Although he still doesn't know whether Jabbar was impatient with his repeated harassment and was forced to establish friendship, or was really influenced by him. Wei Xia believed that Jabbar was influenced by his kindness.

Through his persistence, he learned the most valuable offensive skills of the 1970s.

Unfortunately, he is not an inside player, and Tian Gou can only win as a strange trick.

Compared to Tiangou, Malawi's moves, and Monroe's back turn are more practical for him.

Odom expressed his disbelief, but Wei Xia had already revealed the truth and the truth.

"If you don't believe it, I can't do anything." Wei Xia said and then hooked up, "Who do you think I can learn from?"

Odom couldn't say it, but he was sure: "It's not Karim anyway!"

It was just one day gou, and Wei Xia asked Odom to practice for more than half an hour.

Although it was just a defensive airs, Odom behind him also wanted to try whether Tiangou was really not defensive.

He became serious and Wei Xia's shooting rate began to decline, but under the serious defense, Wei Xia's hook was blind every time he hooked - Odom's height made him unable to see the basket - but his shooting rate reached more than 50%.

Imagine that such an action is used by a Tiangou, which is nearly 220 cm tall. What is the power?

Tiangou is known as the most stable 2 points in basketball history, and it is not a false reputation.

Moreover, in his 11-year career, there was no three-point line in the league, and no one could help him open up space. After the three-point line appeared, the Lakers averaged no more than 3 goals in his retired season.

This kind of space and this inner environment shows how perfect the heavenly match between Tiangou and Kareem.

Wei Xia's last ball showed off his fun. He held the ball and changed direction. He suddenly took a one-foot step back and then jumped sideways with the other foot.

His hook is still in the posture of a sky hook, but the mechanism of attack is no longer a side hook, but a jump hook.

This is creativity.

The impact Malawi had on him was the same on the basketball court. As long as it was comprehensive enough, the steps back and hooks could be combined.

"You may be the only player in the world who can score in this way." Odom was dazzled.

Wei Xia was modest and then went to practice shooting.

The shooting training lasted for an hour and the training class was over. He did not leave and stayed in the gym at the Sunset Center to continue lifting irons.

Others only have 90 minutes of training, while he has 150 minutes.

It’s like not feeling tired and keen on burying all your body and mind into training.

Because Wei Xia, few of the 76ers left immediately at the end of the training class.

Some people will practice for 10 minutes more, some will practice for 30 minutes more, and some will pursue their own limits like Wei Xia.

The two most diligent are Robertson and Farid.

One is a rookie with rough skills, and the other is a short inside player who relies heavily on physical fitness to play.

They practiced even harder than Wei Xia.

When Wei Xia decided to get off work, they were still sweating profusely on the court.

"Come on, I'll leave first." Wei Xia said.

"See you tomorrow, Wish."

Wei Xia waved her hand and walked out of the arena alone.
