Chapter 947 The Most Evil Angle
On the night of winning the championship, Wei Xia went to the hospital to check his left foot.
The hospital diagnosed a high left ankle sprain and a knee contusion. Generally speaking, there were no major injuries. Although this leg tortured him enough on the court, at least he recovered.
After confirming "no problem" (as long as the Achilles tendon is not ruptured), Wei Xia joined the team's carnival.
One of the best things about winning a title at home is having a big party on the most exciting night.
Players brought their family members and friends to sit together.
In addition to his own family, Wei Xia also invited Kobe's family.
Old Joe and Kobe drank a few glasses of wine with each other at the table and talked a lot.
"Kobe, do you have any plans for the future?" Wei Xia asked happily.
"I think I can still play," Kobe was obviously drunk, and the words jumped out of his mind, "Obviously I still have gas in the tank, but some people don't think so."
What the Lakers have experienced in the past two years is very different from Wei Xia's original perception.
In 2013, Kobe escaped a serious injury and was able to play in a healthy state in 2014.Although Howard did not stay with the Lakers, Kobe Bryant and Marc Gasol in their prime were enough to drag the Lakers to the first round of the playoffs.
In 2015, the Lakers' situation was even more embarrassing, mainly from the inside.
Jim Buss believes that the current lineup is no longer competitive, but he has boasted before that he will return the Lakers to the conference finals within three years.
Can he count on the 36-year-old Bryant to take them back to the conference finals?
This is the West!
If the Eastern Conference in the early years was still possible, the Western Conference in the 2013-16 period was the era of the Thunder and Spurs and the Warriors and Clippers.
The Lakers can't beat any of these four teams.
In 2015, Bass Jr. failed to make strong reinforcements. From the beginning of the season, it can be determined that it will be another season of mediocrity.
As a result, Kobe led the old, weak, sick and disabled to a No. 11 record in the Western Conference. He couldn't make the playoffs, and he didn't have a good draft pick.
Entering 2016, it is still difficult for the Lakers to strengthen. It is reported that Kobe has become a problem.
All the stars who want to join the Lakers will be deterred when they see Kobe.
No one wants to lay a hand on an old star player.
Bass Jr. didn't have the courage to touch Kobe, and the two sides were in a stalemate.I don't know why, in the summer of 2015, Bass sent Gasol Jr. in exchange for Bogut, and there was no other reinforcement.
The Lakers finally played like a bad team, and Kobe also lost his way in this bewildered season.
During the season, he hinted that this might be his last.
At the end of the season, he did not renew his contract with the Lakers, nor did he have scandals with any team.
His fans have already tacitly agreed that one day in the future, Kobe will suddenly announce his retirement.
At this time, he said that his goal is different from the team's plan, which is actually a true portrayal of the past two years.
He craved competition, and Buss Jr. was supposed to be on the same track as him, but the dude just couldn't do a good job of reinforcing.
"If you don't want to retire yet, I mean if." Wei Xia held up a glass of wine. He usually drank a lot tonight. "I think you can go back to Philadelphia. You should see that we need an excellent sixth man."
Kobe said unhappily: "Do you think I will be the sixth man?"
Wei Xia hiccupped and laughed, "It's as if you've never been an officer before."
Wei Xia couldn't remember what happened after that.
The next day, he woke up in his bed at home.
He didn't remember much about what happened last night, as if it was stuck.
He got up instinctively, changed his clothes, and the pain in his left foot made him cry out immediately.
"Ow!"
"Mommy, Dad is awake!" Wei Zile shouted.
It turned out that the kid was playing with the cat under the bed, probably it was Elaine's order to notify her when he saw his father wake up.
Yi Lian rushed over and saw Wei Xia about to put on clothes and go out, so she couldn't help asking, "Where are you going early in the morning?"
"train."
"Training?" Elaine asked incredulously, "Isn't the season over? You have already won the championship, do you still want to train?"
Wei Xia sat on the bed dully and muttered, "Yes, I won the championship."
Only one night has passed, probably due to alcohol, Wei Xia seems to have forgotten the hardships of the past season, the pain of playing with injuries, the joy of winning the championship, and the night full of tears, sweat and champagne.
He belatedly said, "What should I do now?"
"Put on the joint brace, have breakfast, and then I'll go to the hospital with you." Elaine said as if reciting a formula.
The joint protector is very heavy. After wearing it, the left foot is basically useless, and Wei Xia needs crutches to move.
Elaine was ready for him.
Now the question is how to use it, Wei Xia used this thing 8 years ago.
It was after he tore his ACL, and he used it for several months. He was so bored that he took part in the [-]-meter brisk walk, which is only for people with limited mobility and can only move with crutches.
One more thing, he is the seven-time champion of the event.
This time it's not an ACL tear, so when he gets used to crutches again, it's estimated that his left foot will recover almost as well.
After breakfast, Wei Xia went to the hospital to start treating his left leg.
It is lucky enough not to rupture the Achilles tendon like Kobe, and he has no other luxury, as long as he can be cured.
Given the extent of his injuries, healing is inevitable.
However, the doctor told him not to play sports, including basketball, for the next two months.
This means that Wei Xia will miss the Rio Olympics.
As soon as the news came out, the new Basketball Association expressed understanding of his situation. The new chairman of the Basketball Association asked Wei Xia to concentrate on recuperating from his injuries and not to worry too much.
The current national team is very young and needs big competitions to gain experience. With him, the young people may be too shy.
Wei Xia thinks he is still a good person to get along with, so how can it affect the performance of young people?Then he came to his senses, this is East Asian restraint, the other party is comforting him implicitly.
By the way, the chairman of the Trust Basketball Association who took office last year may be the tallest official on the planet-his registered height in the NBA is 229 cm (doubtful), that is him, Yao Huang.
Wei Xia couldn't change the result, so he could only accept it.
It is a pity that he could not participate in the Olympics, but objectively speaking, it also won him more opportunities to rest.
They have reached the Finals every year in the past three years, and this year they have tried their best. He needs the offseason too much.
After a day, Wei Xia went to the Sunset Center.
The 76ers' management has no time to rest, and they have to find a suitable candidate within a few days.
The 2016 draft was a weird one.
Don't worry if your draft pick is No. [-] or No. [-].
James Ben Simmons Jr. and Durant Ingram Jr., you can choose which one you can choose with your eyes closed, and you don't have to hesitate.
If it is after the second overall pick, it is not easy to choose. There are lottery tickets in front of you. It seems that the talents are unlimited, but there are great hidden dangers in becoming a talent.
Among these people, there is Jerry Brown, an athletic small forward with full size; Dragan Bender, who is seven feet tall but has amazing agility and shooting talent;
Of course, these seedlings have nothing to do with the 76ers.
This year, they only have the 24th pick in the first round that they got a few years ago, and their 27th pick in the first round and the 27th pick in the second round.
In the finals, they exposed two major shortcomings, one is the inside line, and the other is the point guard.
After the season, many of their teams will become free agents.
Among them are Zhu Holiday and Rajon Rondo, who have made great contributions to the 76ers' three consecutive championships.
On the inside, Faried's contract has expired, and both Odom and Hollins are considering retiring. Although Cousins is strong, it is too unsafe to rely on him alone. If he gets injured, the inside will be finished.
Therefore, the draft mainly supplements insiders, and then try to keep Holiday and Faried at an affordable price as much as possible. If not, seek reinforcements from the free market.
Wei Xia was wearing a knee brace, and the noise made by the crutches made the rookies who came to try out him notice him.
Many people came to ask him to sign autographs and take photos, and he never refused, and his modest attitude won unanimous praise.
This is his normal state.
The main evaluation of fans who have seen Wei Xia is that he has no airs and does not look like a superstar.
To Wei Xia's surprise, he found a familiar face among the players in the trial training.
He was nearly 2 meters tall, with unusually long arms, thin build, and a yellow face-he knew this person.
This person is one of the members of the new national team, Zhou Qi from the Xinjiang team.
Now the national team is basically young people except Space Yi. Even if Space Yi sees Wei Xia, he still has to respectfully call Wei Ge—a young man of Zhou Qi’s generation should be called Uncle Wei, but it is too old to call him that.
So basically follow the space Yiyaoge.
Wei Xia nodded and looked him around: "You are not strong at all."
"I'm getting stronger!" Zhou Qi explained, "I gained 10 catties after coming to America."
For a person who is 2 meters 17 tall and weighs 95 kilograms, it is impossible to detect much change from the naked eye with 10 kilograms of flesh on him.
"You know, the king was sleeping when he was selected, and he didn't come to the trial training at all." Wei Xia estimated that he would stimulate him for a round, "You have some snacks, it's no problem to surpass him in the pick."
Zhou Qi replied yes, and Wei Xia walked to the sidelines without disturbing his trial training.
That's what he said, but Wei Xia had a vague feeling that the team's trial training of Zhou Qi was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Although they lacked insiders, they chose Wang Zhelin last year and invited Zhou Qi to trial training this year. If Zhou Qi was finally selected, then the 76ers would have three Chinese players at the same time.
How much of this is for reinforcement, and how much is for commercial considerations?
In fact, with Wei Xia, the 76ers have been able to replace Houston in China and occupy the majority of the Chinese market. If they repeatedly take potential Chinese players into their accounts, it may only be explained from the most evil angle: they want to eat alone.
Of course, this is just the most sinister angle.
Wei Xia thinks their management, especially Hinkie, should be less greedy.
Well, it should.
