Returning to Angel City from Desert City, Wei Xia avoided the reporter and took a different plane from Kobe.

In this way, Kobe went to Los Angeles before him and spread some false information to deceive the media.

Kobe said: "Wish returned to Los Angeles as soon as the All-Star Game ended."

The reporters thought Wei Xia came back secretly, so they stopped staying.

Therefore, when Wei Xia got off the plane, he couldn't even see a microphone outside the airport.

During the All-Star Weekend, the league spent this year's trading deadline.

From the beginning of the season to the mid-season trading deadline, the operations of major teams have never stopped.

First, the Los Angeles Lakers sounded the alarm, Gasol's joining made the Lakers suddenly emerge from the shadow of Bynum's injury, Kobe became more and more energetic, and people even began to design the Celtics and Lakers' Finals to meet. After that, the Suns came out and invited the Sharks. Then Kidd returned to Dallas, and the West became more lively. The Spurs couldn't sit still and found veteran Thomas to restrict the "Yao Shark" from the Supersonics.

In the east, the three-party 11-man trades of the Knights, Bulls and Supersonics also had a great impact on the east.

The West's second-place Hornets and Houston Rockets were not spared. Their two teams "interfered" with the Grizzlies and came a tripartite agreement.

The Hornets sent off guard Bobby Jackson, Adam Lucas and forward Marcus and a second-round draft pick in 2008. For Rockets swingman Bunch Wells, defender Mike James and some cash, while the Grizzlies sent out the signing rights of the former rookie to get some cash and draft picks from Marcus.

Just before the end of the trade deadline, the Rockets officially introduced the Timberwolves' forward guard swingman, NBA dunk king Gerald Green. In order to get Green, the Rockets sent guard Kirk Snyder and a second-round draft pick.

Other teams were in a mess, while the Lakers became dull after getting Gasol.

For them, the strongest intelligence has long been in the formation. Gasol's joining fills the last shortcoming of the triangle offense.

Now we only need to use the remaining third of the regular season to get along well and strive to get into the best state when the playoffs arrive.

When Wei Xia returned home, his sister Wei Chun was preparing for a weight loss plan and wanted to bring Wei Qiu together.

Thanks to Wei Xia, Wei Qiu can sing and dance every night to achieve peace. He is negligent in training and his current body shape is comparable to Wei Chun.

Wei Xia consciously avoided their weight loss plan.

Because his figure will only make his sister and brother feel ashamed of themselves.

Two days later, Wei Xia will follow the team on a journey again.

During this period, they still have a day off.

On this day, Wei Xia suddenly received a call from China TX Sports and wanted to give him an exclusive interview.

Wei Xia was idle and naturally agreed.

The one who came to interview him was a beautiful woman with big eyes, but her forehead was a little bigger.

She should have bangs.

However, it is really disrespectful to women's outfits directly, so he didn't say a word.

The other party’s first question is: “What difficulties will Chinese people encounter in the United States?”

Wei Xia became alert.

He has recently encountered too many media that took him out of context. Even if the media comes from China this time, he cannot be 100% sure that the other party has no bad intentions.

"The biggest difficulty is to win a sense of identity, not the sense of other people, but the sense of self-identity."

“How to say it?”

"There are many Chinese who do extreme things to let others know that he is already a real American, denying their value, culture, and skin color, just to break with their own bloodline." Wei Xia smiled and shook her head, "I have never seen anyone from other ethnic groups who come to the United States to deny themselves in all aspects."

Soon he dispelled his doubts about the reporter.

It’s not that he believed the other party, but that he just sat upright and said what he said in his heart. There is nothing to worry about.

Next, she asked Wei Xia about Yao and Space Yi’s comments.

Wei Xia praised Yao and Wei Xia for their best efforts.

For Space Yi, it is described in the sentence "He is very talented and very hardworking, but"

Wei Xia shared many stories from the Lakers with her.

Afterwards, they inevitably mentioned the social topic of recently tied Wei Xia to a fire rack.

She asked very tactfully and gave Wei Xia full freedom of answering.

"If you think this problem is too broad, we can change it."

The meaning is clear, and you don't need to answer if you don't want to answer.

"I think athletes should do their duties and do their job well. I also understand that in today's era, everyone with a certain social status wants to expand their influence. But I generally don't participate in these things unless I have to."

Wei Xia answered questions in plastic throughout the whole process. The reporter interviewed him and could see that he could use Mandarin like his mother tongue. He was just living in the English world all year round and lacked exercise in speaking, so there were some problems and mistakes in using words and sentences.

The interview reporter saw that Wei Xia was relaxed and the scale of the question was upgraded: "We found that some of your recent speeches have caused a lot of controversy and discussion in the United States, and some Americans even think that you are Chinese. What do you think of this phenomenon?"

"The most difficult thing in this world is to be realistic. I didn't want to answer those controversial questions at first. Because there are always two factions of people in social events, and no matter how I answer, everyone disagrees with it. If I had to answer, I would learn more about the whole story through the Internet and then make an evaluation."

The interviewer asked: "So, is your view on social events based on the facts you have learned?"

"Of course, where can we get the right to speak without investigation?"

Wei Xia clearly confronted sensitive issues, which made the interviewer have a good impression of him.

At the end of the interview, they asked Chinese fans a question every day and every night: "You said not long ago that you are optimistic about being naturalized by China. I wonder if you have any intention to go further now?"

As long as Wei Xia is not naturalized one day, Chinese fans will scold the Basketball Association for a day.

He has a sense of national belonging, but has never been to the United States, but he will talk about Guangpu, who makes people feel very friendly. He is the NBA All-Star starter at the age of 24. The stadium position is still the 2nd and 3rd position of the Chinese team, who is increasingly weak, let him match Yao Yu, who is in his peak period. What a beautiful picture?

"I have always liked China very much, but naturalization is not that simple. I have been in the United States since I was born, and my understanding and impression of China came entirely from my father. I have never been to China, and I can't say from the bottom of my heart that I want to play for the Chinese team. I can only step on that land myself and feel the people and things there. I believe that by that time, I will know where I belong."

The response this interview has caused in China is huge.

For the United States, this is just another ironclad proof of Wei Xia as a US traitor.

The next day

Wei Xia joined the Lakers' training class two hours in advance.

He was the first person to come to practice, and Paul Gasol was the second one.

Because Kobe was injured, he wanted to prove that he could insist on high-intensity training with injuries, and the team doctor did not allow it.

Wei Xia often cooperates with Gasol 2-to-0.

There are several specific types.

Wei Xia ran around the back, and Gasol made a pass to the ground.

Gasol's pick-and-roll, Wei Xia scored or passed the ball directly by breaking through the pick-and-roll direction.

Another one is Gasol's fake pick-and-roll cut and Wei Xia's lob ball.

Although the opponent is air, the cooperation in this way mainly strengthens the tacit understanding and familiarity between the two.

Wei Xia's speed and Gasol's passing method are all points they need to adapt to familiarity.

They practiced each other for an hour, and Wei Xia was tire of it, and Gasol was already tired of it.

"Just that's it, wish, we have more important things to do in addition to the duel with the air," Gasol said.

"Please."

Weisha didn't ask Gasol to fight the air like him without getting tired of it for an hour.

For him, training was never fun.

Anyone who is targeted by a coach in his rookie season like him and makes a small mistake at the review meeting is as evil as Star Lord was sick at the last moment in the third part of the Avengers - he will train hard.

Gasol found a reason to walk away, and Weisha called Chris Webber, who was watching the show next to him.

Weber said helplessly: "You are not going to ask me to train together, right? Please, I am so old and have injuries. Please let me go!"

Wei Xia smiled wickedly and said, "I just want to develop a tacit understanding with the newcomers. Although you are not the main force, you will definitely have many opportunities to play in the future."

The Zen master is the famous "unhappy without a veteran".

His team often has a few cunning guys who bring new players.

Weber was forced to practice with Weisha for half an hour.

Afterwards, Webber went for a checkup and found that he had a scalp wound due to excessive training intensity.
