When Wei Xia was worried about not reaching the finals, John Havlicek of the old time was worried about the fall of the Celtics.

In 1969, Bill Russell and Sam Jones retired with the first and second championships in history, and Havlicek led the team alone and struggled to support it.

At the draft that year, a dominant rookie made the two major leagues NBA and ABA win the big game.

ABA is a threatening opponent for NBA, with a more popular and performative game style than NBA, with endless Gothic non-mainstream hairstyles, and the various life of various unfortunate players in childhood. Of course, the NBA players are also worth it. Most of the black players are sad stories of their father missing at the beginning and their mothers working a few jobs to pull their children up.

The bosses of the NBA were truly threatened, so in the next few years, they expanded their troops and diluted the stars of the league, and regarded every talented college student as a collection in the auction house. As another top giant talent followed Russell and Chamberlain, Jabbar's heart became the most intense venue in the Dog Licking Competition that summer.

From any perspective, ABA has the advantage in this battle. The reason is simple: Jabbar wants to play near home, and Jabbar wants to start his career in big cities to make himself more popular. The team with the signing rights of the NBA are the Milwaukee Bucks, and ABA has the signing rights of the New York Nets.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's agent came up with an idea, which was to meet each other and show them all the ideas to see who had better conditions.

At that time, basketball fans were familiar with the top leader of the New York Nets. Although many basketball fans' grandfathers had never seen him play, he was definitely one of the most well-known superstars - George McCann.

The details of the negotiation were disclosed in the biographies of many writers and in the personal autobiography of Jabbar, "The Steps of the Giant". After McCann discussed with his subordinates, he decided to take a check of one million US dollars for Jabbar as soon as he met to prove that they were not short of money and to show their absolute sincerity.

But, but... during negotiations, McCann forgot the million checks in his pocket during negotiations - is this an operation that people can do? - He forgot that operation and then issued an "insulting offer" to Jabbar, and Jabbar left angrily: "I will never play for ABA!"

In this way, with the help of the first NBA super giant McCann, Jabbar chose Milwaukee.

The 1969 draft was very similar to the 2019 draft 50 years later. New fans know that it was basically a draft that took Fat Tiger away from the rest. The same was true in 1969. Just 50 years ago, the two major leagues fought for Alcindo's franchise. This emperor star finally shone in NBA, serving as a bridge to cross the chaotic 70s, and led the shaky league to the golden age of the 1980s and even the early 1990s.

The Celtics, who lost the two elders of Xuanming, still retain the rebirth of fire.

Auerbach used the ninth pick in the first round to select the second best player in 1969 - Jojo White (jo                                               �

In the first season without Russell in thirteen years, Haflicecke led the team to 34 wins, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference. Do you think this number is OK? To add that there were only seven teams in the Eastern Conference at that time.

During the season, Haflicecke Super Carrey averaged 2286 per game and shot 46%, but the teams entering the rebuilding level were not as good as those entering the playoffs.

Havlicek had no choice but to criticize his teammates for the first time in his career.

"This is the most indescribable team I've ever been! If you can't even understand the most basic tactics, you shouldn't play in this league!"

Havlicek is like Wei Xia in 2010, fighting alone, becoming the boss of the team for the first time in his career, and has unlimited firepower.

There is only one thing that is different, Wei Xia’s mentality is well controlled.

However, the two of them have different situations and cannot be generalized.

Havlicek has never lost since he entered the league, so he may not be able to accept long-term losses for a while, or even make it to the playoffs. After Wei Xia entered the league, she worked hard outside the finals for two years before she had a chance to compete for the championship. It was his turn to lead the team. He knew that he couldn't hurry up after recovering from the ACL tear.

Therefore, while using infinite fire power to hone offensive skills, he cultivated his leadership.

After a failed season, Haflicek saw the light of light.

He was like Wei Xia, after a failed season that he had not even made the playoffs, he waited for his assistant.

Just as the 76ers chose Cousins, the Celtics chose Dave Coins in 1971.

1971 is like the 2021 draft fifty years later. Before it begins, all teams knew that this will be a talented class.

As it turns out, there were many talents in the 1971 draft, and Coins became an MVP a few years later, and only one of the top eight players in the first round of this draft became a parallel product.

Haflicek's bad days are over, and Weisha is happy for him.

In reality, he was very busy, but in the old days, there was too much time left him speechless.

Because the Celtics did not make the playoffs, Haflicek was on holiday in April.

Wei Xia trained according to his actual training plan. Haflicek's body shape changed significantly, and Wei Xia himself also benefited.

When he woke up, Wei Xia felt that there was not enough training time.

He started practicing hard since the end of the season, but time was tight. In addition to special training, he also had to keep in touch with the national team. This year, the national team changed to a European coach named Yannakis, who is a Greek... A stubborn old man who doesn't want any players in the team to play big names, and Wei Xia insisted on playing big names and insisted on getting along with the team until mid-July.

It is understandable that Yannakis is anxious, and this year's Asian Championship starts earlier than before.

Wei Xia returned to the team in mid-July, and the start date of the Asian Championship is August 1st.

By the time Wei Xia returns to the team, they only have one or two levels of regular season running-in.

Therefore, Yannakis is not saying that the new official has made three moves. He is really anxious. Wei Xia is the chief player of the Chinese team after all. It can be said that he is the guarantee of his performance. Now that he has not returned to the team for a long time, the system cannot be adjusted.

But Wei Xia is not a big shot, he really has too many things.

In addition to personal special training, he also has to discuss contract renewal. In addition, the 76ers' new head coach selection range has been set, and one of them is closely related to him.

Wei Xia is too tired to have a clone.

Yangnaski began to "bomb" Wei Xia by phone, urging him to return to the team every day.

At this time, Hu Jiashi, the leader of the national team, reported the situation to the Basketball Association.

The Basketball Association came forward and came up with an idea.

This is an idea that caught both Yang Naski and Wei Xia off guard: Wei Xia is on holiday and does not have to participate in this year's Asian Championships.

Wei Xia doesn’t understand what the men in the Basketball Association think, and Yang Naski doesn’t understand either.

Fans' speculation is that the results of the London Olympics' semi-finals have made senior executives' confidence expand. After all, without Wei Xia, the Chinese team is also the strongest in Asia.

Could it be that without Wei Xia and others, they cannot dominate Asia?

Isn't this funny?

Wei Xia can be said to be a magic weapon from heaven. Unplanned strong aid is naturally the best if you have it. If you don’t, of course you have to find a way. Now that they are too busy, the national team’s competition is not the kind of world competition that must be gone, but to strive for next year’s World Championships, you can qualify as an Asian Championship. As long as you enter the top four Asian Championships, you can qualify.

Look, you can even win the right to participate without a championship.

Of course, the championship is something you want, and the Basketball Association has confidence. After all, this is a team that has reached the semi-finals in the Olympics. Can't even handle the Asian Championships without individuals?

As a result, it turns out that it is really hard to deal with it without individuals.

The men's basketball team is still mainly composed of the top four teams of the London Olympics. This team itself is prepared for Yao Guang, and the talents are trained according to a specific way. Yao Guang suddenly fell down and they had to occupy half of the national team and wait for the newcomers to grow.

They are all veterans, and they are in a state every year.

Last year, we reached the semi-finals with Wei Xia, and everyone made efforts, but this year's situation is special.

2013 is the year of the National Games in China. To a certain extent, they are all treasures of their respective sports bureaus. They usually don’t have any competition tasks to compete in the national team. They naturally have to win glory for the country. Now the National Games are about to come, and everyone has their own little ones in their hearts. Yang Nasky is a newcomer and is unknown to the inside story. Space Yi is not the kind of leader who will scold his teammates loudly.

Since the leaders of the Basketball Association decided to let Wei Xia rest, the end of this men's basketball team in the Asian Championships was destined.
