There was one thing that Wei Xia didn't understand.

In the two miserable recaps, Phil Jackson only reviewed the game, told the team's mistakes, but did not point the finger at others like he did.

Now, Wei Xia is not just Jackson's designated scapegoat, but also the only one.

If Wei Xia had played for a few seconds in those two miserable defeats, Jackson might have said, "Why can't you reverse the gap of more than twenty points after you played for a few seconds? It's your fault if you lose so badly."

Jackson did not criticize, but only summarized, which wasted Wei Xia's mood of eating melons and watching the show.

Since he was unable to do ball training, Wei Xia just practiced her upper limb strength in the gym and left the Toyota Center.

He had no other place to go, so he searched for some information online at home.

He first read the Clippers' team history information and found that this big brother in the city is an old unlucky guy. Moreover, the unlucky team history began when they moved to San Diego. The tragic history of the Los Angeles Clippers becoming a joke is just a continuation of the curse.

Over the past thirty years, they have won lottos countless times and drafted countless times. They either chose the ultimate parallel product, or first got to the glass man who fished for three days and dried the net for two days. The league has gone through three great epics, and they are still in the same place.

This season, the Clippers, who finally reached the semi-finals, have an absolute inside advantage, made up their minds to defeat the Lakers head-on, thus re-establishing their position in Los Angeles.

Then, Wei Xia went to check Elton Brand, who smashed the Lakers' inside in the first two games.

In 1997, Brand entered Duke University. In his sophomore year, he led Duke to the NCAA final. Although he lost to the University of Connecticut in the end, he averaged 17.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, allowing him to win the Best College Player of the Year, the Wooden Award, the Naismith Award and other awards in one go. Low-key, modesty, easy-going, stable performance and maturity that are inconsistent with his age are the deepest impressions of Brand. At that time, many people linked his behavior with Duncan, who had just left NCAA.

Just talking about his honors, except for not winning the championship, is not much different from Wei Xia in his sophomore season.

As for labels such as "low-key, modest, easy-going, stable performance, and maturity that is inconsistent with one's own age", it is the standard for top students from Duke.

Except for Diping scholars, any top student who came out of Duke matched the above advantages.

With his 2.23-meter wingspan, agile pace, soft shooting feel, superb basketball IQ and passion for basketball, Brand delivered an excellent answer of 20.1 points and 10 rebounds in the rookie season? His scoring, rebounds and blocks are both the first rookies in the season? He is the best in the same class in 42 double-doubles, and he can still win 4.3 frontcourt rebounds in each game? He tied for the league with O'Neal, who is at the peak.

Since then, it has been a continuous average of 2010. At that time, the Bulls had just bid farewell to goat? I don’t like ordinary people.

Brand was believed by Goat's lifelong enemy Jerry Kraus to become an MVP for ten consecutive years? But you should expect him to become the cornerstone of team building? There are everything in your dream.

In 2001, talented high school students gathered in the draft? The high school students craze led by Garnett Kobe and McGrady, etc., made many general managers confused. Among them, Klaus was not only confused, but also got oil. Can high school students have it? In addition, the Spurs' double towers played in an extremely dominant way in the league? It brought up the double towers.

Klaus, whose vision is no longer as fierce as before, decided to do something.

So he traded Brand, which was not the cornerstone of the team building, and used two top five draft picks to win the Sharks and KG - Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler.

If you have all the dragons and phoenixes in your lieutenant, why worry about the big thing going to happen?

As a result, the two averaged 64 per game in the rookie season and the other averaged 63 per game? The data combined are not as many as Brand (1811).

After that, how many years did Brand, who transferred to the Clippers, hibernate? He ushered in a big explosion this season.

After reading Brand’s information, Wei Xia felt a little moved.

Through observations from two games? Weisha believes that Klaus made the wrong choice.

Isn’t Brand not the cornerstone, can he be the cornerstone of the inside? But he needs a leader who is the one who is the one who is right to lead him.

The cornerstone?      It does not mean the leader.

Just like the Spurs before 2001? The cornerstones were Duncan and Robinson, but the leader of the locker room was Avery Johnson.

A day later, the third semi-final match that fans had long been looking forward to came.

That day, Kobe didn't speak much.

Wei Xia's suggestion was listened to. As for how to do it, it depends on him.

Judging from his actions, he did not intend to be a person who spoke loudly. He wanted to use his performance to drive his teammates, just like he did before.

At the beginning of the third game with the Clippers, Kobe found the touch and quickly entered the offensive rhythm of seeing whoever destroys whoever.

The Clippers' inside advantage is still huge. Sam Kassel still kills Parker as a pig. The Lakers' inside heroic appearance is like scraping. Fortunately, Odom understands the spirit and bursts out and helps. 25 points in a single game cover up the bad things of others, allowing Kobe's outbreak to win the Clippers.

Judging from the competition and statistics alone, there is no problem with the Suns playing.

The inside still has an absolute advantage, and the outside, Kassel rejuvenated and scored 30 points at the same time as Brand.

In addition to the two of them, the Clippers have three more players in double digits.

Five players scored in double digits, and two of them scored 30 points. Logically, the Clippers were sure to win.

However, Kobe does not accept being won by his opponent three consecutive games.

The answer to his so-called action is better than verbal harsh words is to fully activate his offensive firepower and put all his energy into the game.

Then, people saw him in the playoffs as a regular season.

Against the Clippers, Kobe scored a playoff career-high 49 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, plus Odom's 25 points, the two scored 80 points together.

Brian Cook made a gamble on the outside, with 16 points in a single game.

The Lakers, who scored three players in double digits, fought with the Clippers until the last moment, and narrowly won by 2 points, winning one game with a difficult time, but failed to let the brothers in the same city win three games in a row and hold four games.

Kobe was interviewed by a reporter and answered his thoughts on the battle.

He smiled and said, "It feels great to be back at the goddess of victory."

The reporter also asked them how to adjust after two consecutive defeats.

"I told me that I should stand up and speak loudly. I think no matter how loud it is, it will not be as good as 49 points in a single game." Kobe said confidently, "The sound of a basketball falling into the basket is more convincing than any words."

In the end, he chose to be himself.

Well, who told him to get 49 points.

Wei Xia had nothing else to say about this.

Sam Kassel, who beat the Lakers No. 1 position in two consecutive games, was a little dissatisfied with the referee: "It seems that everything we do in this game will be fouled. The opponent has two different players who have 10 free throws. This is a very difficult situation. I was hitting the paint area the whole game. The defensive confrontation I faced was very strong. They wanted to limit me in this way, but I ended up only two free throws. I felt that the key factor in this game was the gap in free throws," he said.

Even in the era of David Stern, a blatant dissatisfaction with the referee would be fined.

$30,000 just flew.

But at least Kassel won his freedom of speech, although the price of freedom of speech is not affordable to ordinary people.

The victory in the third game gave the Lakers confidence.

Wei Xia was relieved.

That would be true that the Lakers would not be swept out before the fifth game.

In those two days, the league announced the winners of all major regular season awards in addition to MVP.

Kobe, who locked in the scoring champion, was undisputedly selected for the All-Squad and All-Defensive Team.

Wei Xia's rookie season is also a bumper season.

He was selected as the first team of the Rookie of the Year.

There were some different voices in the selection of Rookie of the Year. Considering that both Wei Xia and Paul played a rare rookie season, although Wei Xia was better, the league decided to give two promising new stars a happy wish.

Weisha and Paul were selected as the Rookie of the Year at the same time.

NBA has a history of up to 60 or 70 years. Since its birth, it has shared roy three times before.

The earliest one came from the 1970-71 season, when Trail Blazers Celebrity Geoff Petrie sg/pg and Celtics Celebrity Dave Coins both got roy. Then, Grant Hill and Jason Kidd 24 years later, and Elton Brand and Steve Frances five years later... Six years later, it was Weisha and Paul's turn.

Lakers fans have some complaints about this matter. Paul is indeed outstanding in his rookie season, but Wei Xia is obviously better than him.

This is not an example of "I got this, but I didn't get that, it's a pity. Actually, I can give it to anyone."

This is a competition where one side is obviously stronger than the other.

Wei Xia is personally open to sharing Roy with Paul and doesn't care. What he really cares about is the ownership of the sixth person of the year.

There is no suspense in the result.

His number one rival is Mike Miller, but his data beat the opponent in all aspects, averaging 17.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.2 blocks, surpassing all the sixth man of the year this season.

Wei Xia accepted an exclusive interview with Luocheng media.

The media found that he had no feelings about Roy and the Rookie of the Year for a while, but was extremely excited about being elected as the Sixth Person of the Year.

As for the reason, he said: "I don't like the positioning of the sixth man, but the team needs me like this, so I will do it. Since I have to do it, do it best. For me, the sixth man of the year is like telling the world that I am the sixth man of the season, and I am excited and proud of it."
