Chapter 565 A glimpse of the future
The unsuccessful negotiations between Wei Xia and the Lakers soon spread to the media.
Then, the media tells the world.
There is no secret in Los Angeles.
The Lakers have no secrets.
The trivial things that happen in the Toyota Center are no secret to the media as long as they can bring traffic.
"Wish and the Lakers' contract renewal negotiations are deadlocked." No matter how good the news, the media that does not use it is worthy of being a media.
Unlike the difficulties Wei Xia faced, the Lakers are going well.
In the Christmas battle, he fought against his old rival Lu Kai, but lost Wei Xia but fought a unilateral torture.
117 to 94
The Lakers beat the Celtics and they won a row until the end of December.
Until 2008 and 2009, the Lakers' record was incredibly good.
28 wins and 2 losses, with five players in the team averaging double-digit points per game.
What is the secret of their being so powerful?
Kobe, who is completely healthy, Kobe with a lot of confidence, and Kobe who is in the best condition on both offense and defense, averages 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game.
Paul Gasol's data "only" averaged 16 points, 8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, but it is an important part of the team.
Then, his younger brother Mark Gasol quickly broke the doubts and allowed Bynum to firmly sit on the bench with averaging 11.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game.
Bynum averaged 14 points and 8 rebounds per game. As the core of the second team, although his lethality may be stronger than Mark, his skills and chemistry are incomparable to the two of them. He can only play the sixth man, but indirectly enhances the depth of the Lakers' lineup.
Next is Trevo Ariza, who replaced Wei Xia as the starter.
His average score is not double-digit, but his defensive end is an important part of the Lakers.
He is Wei Xia, who is weakened in all aspects, and cannot replace Wei Xia, but it is enough.
Finally, Rudy Fernandez, the Lakers' No. 2 bench bandit, averaged 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Together with Bynum, he became the second-tier leader in the league who is best at digging holes for opponents.
Such a Lakers have become the most terrifying team.
Wei Xia was plagued by the renewal of her contract and had no time to take care of the game. She went to watch the game less and less.
Moreover, the fans seemed to have forgotten him.
Because the Lakers have a very good record.
Only the commentators often add when sighing at the Lakers' strength: "If wish can be played, how terrible will they be?"
Only then did the fans remember that there was a heavyweight player on their injury list.
This cannot be entirely blamed on the fans. Wei Xia is indeed low-key, so low-key that the fans don’t know what he is doing or busy with.
Wei Xia’s workplace is not going well, but everything goes well in life and love.
One day, he saw another future in his sleep.
He saw several impressive things in that future, the Lakers' brilliant future, without his future, and a TV news introducing a virtual currency called Bitcoin's rapid price increase, invisible fog, and smoked planes.
This reminded him of the dream he had in the past that seemed to foresee the future.
In that dream, he dreamed that Odom's youngest son Jaden died unexpectedly. He was not in the Lakers' future group photo, the fallen Kobe and the smoking plane.
Now, there are smokey planes again.
He understood the smoked plane as an air crash, and yes, it can only be an air crash. So who is the air crash? His family, his friends, or himself?
After waking up, Wei Xia was unable to interpret the scene he saw, so he could only ask if there was something called Bitcoin first.
Then I learned that the concept of this thing was proposed in November last year and was officially born last week.
Wei Xia went to check it out and found that 1,300 bitcoins can be bought for 1 US dollar.
So he arranged for a special person to hoard hundreds of thousands of bitcoins, and then spent another half a month forgetting about this.
When he remembered it again, the world had already changed.
Wei Xia made a low-cost investment, and he didn't even expect how much return it would be, and then showed off his singing voice on Trovis' birthday.
In order to correct the pitch, he secretly hired a French teacher while he was injured.
He listened to this song thousands of times to make sure he could grasp every beat steadily and not go out of tune.
On Trovis' birthday, the lights suddenly dimmed, just like the special surprise prepared in an old movie. Wei Xia slowly walked out with a microphone, and sang "je m'appelle hélène" in a complete sing of "je m'appelle hélène" with a precise pitch and a mediocre voice that did not run away or break the sound.
When he finished singing, Trovis stood in front of Wei Xia and asked softly: "How long have you learned?"
"Two years." Wei Xia said honestly.
"It took two years to learn a song?"
"As long as you are happy, four years are worth it."
Although their conversation was very quiet, it was too quiet at that time. Without saying anything else, Kobe and his wife could hear it clearly.
Kobe has always been posing such Wei Xia with his wife: she is stubborn, unconscionable, mostly boring, likes to anger her husband, has countless shortcomings, but is generally considered a good person.
Today, I saw that in order to please Trovis, I was willing to spend two years learning this song that was particularly meaningful to her. Even if he had many shortcomings, what if he had?
Kobe is on the first floor, and he feels that if it were him, it will not take two years or less, and he will be able to handle it in less than a month.
Wei Xia, who is standing on the fifth floor, doesn't want to compete with Kobe in such matters at all. It doesn't matter how much time he is, as long as Trovis is happy.
That night, Vesha and Trovis had a special night.
Wei Xia still did not break through the last level. Trovis was extremely firm in his beliefs and he didn't want to force them, but they released love that could not be expressed in words through the old methods that were not novel.
So they first have to greet President Clinton, thanking him for accurately dividing what is for x behavior and what is not.
Except for the unsuccessful negotiations with the Lakers, everything else is fine.
In January, the Lakers lost more times.
They lost 2 games in the first two months and lost 3 games in January.
One of the games was revenge from the Celtics.
Compared with the Celtics, whose lineup has undergone major changes last season, the Celtics have not been self-consistent, choose to take the initiative to seek change and be proactive.
They make the cute, charming, hardworking, honest Brian Scara Bryan the outpost of reform.
What he did was simple: serve as the nominal starting center, actually running at No. 3 and 4. He provided perimeter maneuver, long shots, and height.
The Celtics always kept him or one of Glen Davis present.
Their role is to cover high positions and threat of pick-and-roll. After being supplemented by Garnett, the team even often adopts the V-shaped position that the Raptors and the Suns like to play in the past.
Last season, the Celtics often used high double gears to create opportunities for Rondo after falling 1-2-2, supplemented by the two-wing shooters' empty cuts along the three-point line. But now the old moves are regained, but the cover is replaced by someone with a longer range.
Now, when Davis or Scarab Bryan is in the team, the Celtics' system is more open, and the vacant one-sided inside line makes Pierce and Garnett move more freely.
On the defensive end, Scala Bryani chased Bayani to outside the three-point line in the last game, and the Lakers' revenge is still there.
In this way, Garnett steadily occupies the central axis position of 2-1-2, puts out fires everywhere, one big and four small, and the formation layout is obviously more symmetrical.
With their new system, Garnett beat the Lakers by the wonderful performance of Gasol brother Bynum.
Before February arrived, the Lakers scored 42 wins and 5 losses.
Kobe and James ranked first and second in the MVP forecast list respectively.
Just as February arrived, the Lakers officially announced: "For some reasons, we will not be able to renew our contract with wish in advance during the season..."
Later, the media revealed that some of the so-called reasons for the Lakers were just that the offer they made was not accepted.
During the fourth meeting, the Lakers raised their offer to 60 million in four years, which was less than the Hornets' renewal of Paul, but it was still not the highest maximum salary, so it was still not accepted.
The fourth negotiation did not reach an agreement, which means that it would be difficult for them to negotiate before the deadline, so they would have to delay until the offseason and leave it to the market to decide how much Wei Xia is worth after the serious injury.
