Chapter 801 I'm not the best

"After you won the championship last season, some people began to think that you are the best player in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers. How do you think of this view?"

Halfway through the training camp, 76ers ushered in Media Day as usual.

Wei Xia wore the home jersey of the new season, put on countless POSSs in front of the camera, and then came to the reporter for an interview with a professional smile.

He knew that the reporter's problems would be very fierce, but he didn't expect them to be so fierce.

However, if you are serious, look at the data and honors. Indeed, even if the stars in the history of the 76ers shine, even if they have those familiar superstars, none of them can say that they are stable against Wei Xia.

The only player with an advantage is Chamberlain.

Although he only played for four seasons with the 76ers, he left behind three scoring champions, three rebounding champions, one assist champion, and three consecutive MVP and championships.

Others, such as Dr. J, Moses Malone, and Iverson - they all had glorious periods, but no one could suppress Wei Xia, who won four points in five years, two DPOY, and two MVP championships.

The 76ers have a long history and every era has super giants. Therefore, fat guys like Barkley who have no MVP and no championship are not even qualified to be included in the discussion. Get out and eat your donuts.

At present, Wei Xia is still not the best team history of the 76ers. Chamberlain is above him, Dr. J and Malone can use their qualifications to suppress it. Although Iverson only has one MVP and the experience of leading the team in the total runner-up, 10 years of dedication cannot be surpassed by Wei Xia's five-year highlights.

The success of last season can only be said to have allowed Wei Xia to be qualified to go alongside these people.

To surpass and fulfill what he said when he joined the 76ers - to become the best team history - at least one championship.

So, today Wei Xia heard reporters ask this question.

He was not as happy as he heard others say that he had surpassed Kobe.

"When we witness the success of contemporary superstars, we always wishfully believe that 'he is the best' because we don't know the achievements of our predecessors and their specific performance." Wei Xia said, "This is a self-righteous judgment. I think I can't reach this level. Maybe in the future, but not now. I hope that the less praise I have for the crowning of newcomers by stepping on the predecessors, the better."

Wei Xia rarely answers directly and formally.

The reporter then asked about the goals for the new season.

"I want to break the defending curse in the history of the Sixers." Wei Xia said.

Except for last season, the 76ers won the championship twice in history. However, neither of them won the championship. In 1968, the 76ers, who were in full swing, were the first 1-3 major reversal in NBA history by Green Kai; in 1984, the legendary "FO-FO-FO" 76ers, without personnel changes, and after such a dominant and legendary championship season, without any injuries and no friction within the team, was eliminated in the first round by poisonous dog Mitchell Ray Richardson and 76ers' former player Darrell Dawkins.

The 76 people in 1984 have many similarities with the 76 people today.

The championship season is full of dominance, can it maintain the new season?

The reporter will naturally ask Wei Xia: "Will you learn from the lessons of your predecessors?"

"I really want to learn from their lessons..." Wei Xia teased, "but when they were eliminated, I was still sleeping in the crib. I had no idea what happened, so I can only say that we will learn from history."

The interview day was generally relaxed. Since Wei Xia, most of the 76ers have interviewed.

Wei Xia and Cousins ​​have the longest interview.

Cousins ​​took the initiative to talk about his experience with the Dream Team: "That was cool. After winning the championship, my horizons became wider. I knew what I could do."

Last season, Cousins ​​still had emotional problems. He was beaten by Duncan and would be overwhelmed, burning the CPU and quarrel with the referee to make a game.

Perhaps the Sixers were never forced to death last season, and Cousins' temper never harmed them.

So everyone will think that he has grown up.

Cousins ​​himself also thinks so.

Wei Xia and his teammates are now waiting for the season to open, in addition to training every day, even if they are good at preseason, they can't wait.

Another plane, John Haflicek still needs patience.

He just survived the most difficult two embarrassing seasons when he couldn't play the playoffs, and resisted the temptation of the ABA, allowing the Celtics to offer him a six-figure annual salary that suits his value.

Wei Xia clearly knows who this year belongs to.

When he joined the Lakers, someone introduced the Lakers' team history to him. For any team with a long history and a championship glory, the first step for the rookies who just joined the team is to take history classes. They must understand this team, feel proud, realize that "as a Lakers, I should be proud", and instill in the poisonous chicken soup of Zijin Lifetime Lakers that only take effect under specific circumstances.

The Lakers won the first championship in team history in 1972.

This is the beginning of the Lakers' glory, the end of Elgin Baylor's tragic career, and the sweet dream of Jerry West's dream come true. Unfortunately, since they did not defeat the Celtics in the final, the championship is somewhat unsatisfactory.

But it is still to be said that in 1972, the Lakers were so strong that they could not find their opponents. Chamberlain finally became what everyone thought, and he was very competitive, the dark side of the team and personality was suppressed by him. Everyone united as one, and in an era of low competitiveness, he scored 33 consecutive victories and 1 in the playoffs.

This is a year for the Lakers.

Wei Xia, a time traveler, knew that he basically did not expect Haflicek's life to change much. The Celtics were still in a state of accumulating strength.

After every day after training, Wei Xia would talk to the superstars he met as Haflicek and keep in touch.

The person Wei Xia contacted the most frequently is Malawich.

His situation is very bad. Although he was expecting like a son of the choice before joining the league, the fairy tales that were exposed are often not beautiful.

Malawi, who has a bad relationship with his father and does not want to bring his troubles to his younger brothers, seems to be the only one who can talk to Weisha/Havlicek.

Listening to his complaint, Wei Xia suddenly interrupted him: "Don't cry. If you are unhappy, change the environment. Do you know how envious Boston fans are?"

Then, Wei Xia was woken up by his alarm clock.

Sometimes, he doesn't know what he is doing.

Will changing history? If Malawic really listened to him, how would the history of the NBA change when joining the Celtics at the end of his rookie contract?

It's certain that Malawi will spark a wonderful spark with the Celtics.

The most underrated stadium factor in Haflicecke's career: never working with great passers for a long time. It will also be broken.

Although Malawic's organizational attributes are not as good as a master point guard like Bob Cousy, his vision and passing techniques are all about what he wants. Malawic's problem is the same as Kobe. It is not a problem of ability, but a problem of desire, or whether he wants to pass the ball.

Wei Xia didn't want to care about how history would develop, this was his way of repaying Haflicek.

Without Havlicek, he might have accomplished nothing now. The other party has changed his destiny, and he has to find a way to change the other party's destiny.

Wake up from the apartment arranged by the team for him, Wei Xia rubbed her eyes and walked to the bathroom.

Brush your teeth and wash your face quickly, and go out for breakfast.

The training camp is closed and he has no other place to go. The only benefit of getting up early is that he can start training early.

He has become accustomed to practicing when and when.

But he is never the hardest one.

Today, the most diligent person is DeMarcus Cousins.

When the draft was first released, Cousins ​​was a little baby fat. The scout was not only worried about his psychological maturity, but also about his emotions, and even more worried that he could not control his weight like Sean Camp.

Even last season, he was elected as a center forward and looked a little baby-weight in his body.

Now, there is no trace of obesity.

It can be seen whether you have worked hard during holidays.

"Boge, is that early?"

Wei Xia walked into the stadium.

Cousins ​​grabbed the ball with one hand and greeted Wei Xia, "Boss, what is the saying of Tiangou?"

He made a few days of hooks, but it was obvious that his movements were not that scent.

Wei Xia had no idea of ​​hidden moves, and many of the movements were natural. If he wanted to say it, he didn't know what to say, and there was no secret to this thing.

"You think about it slowly." Wei Xia couldn't teach him step by step like Jabbar.

Tiangou is something that is integrated into Jabbar's blood. I guess he will remember it in his next life. Wei Xia only used it in actual combat, and was far from able to preach, learn to help him solve doubts.

1 As Qiao Mi, I am not afraid of the fact that the Bulls were able to play 72, 69, and 62 consecutive regular season record during 1996-98 was because the NBA's competitiveness was low in those years. The league's expansion was too fast, and talent was diluted again and again. It was the new century that international players poured into the NBA in large numbers. At that time, it was equivalent to relying solely on the talent reserves of the United States to raise 29 teams, which would produce many uncompetitive bottom teams to win the record for the strong teams. So the Bulls were as fierce as tigers in the regular season in those years. Of course, their competitors fought.

The results are also as fierce as tigers. I want to emphasize that this was even more so in the early 1970s. The league expanded very quickly. The ABA snatched many superstars. The older generation was old or retired. The Bucks, Celtics, and Lakers all achieved the longest winning streak and the best record in team history during that period. The same low competitiveness era was 2013-2017 (but there was a little artificial trace of low competitiveness during this period). All low competitiveness eras have one characteristic: strong teams have exaggerated winning streaks, strong regular season record, and those teams are playing in the playoffs.
