Chapter 672 Recruiting troops

Wei Xia, who became a free agent, was chased by many parties.

Although James is the first in the league, Weisha is the four-time scoring champion and last season's defensive player of the year.

It can be said that in terms of individual offense and defense, he is the person who poses the greatest threat to NBA.

There is only one reason why he is not the first person.

After leaving the Lakers, he did not lead the team to win the championship. If he could lead the team to win the championship, with his strongest individual offensive and defensive ability, even James would not be able to defeat him.

In addition to the 76ers, the first person to show his feelings to Wei Xia was his old club, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kobe's contract is still being executed, Howard is undecided, and Gasol has determined to join the free market. On their books, Gasol only has a maximum salary.

Wei Xia can be regarded as the top three stars in the league. She is only 29 years old and has at least 6 peak seasons. Teams that want to make a comeback should not be missed. Teams that need a good team to join are also a good choice.

The Lakers first smashed their contract.

110 million in 5 years, which is the highest offer they can give.

In order to convince Wei Xia to return to his hometown, Buss Jr. also dispatched Kobe as a lobbyist.

Kobe visited Wei Xia's home in the name of returning home.

Wei Xia was very delicious and served. She asked about his injuries from time to time and did not mention any words about renewal.

"If you weren't injured, maybe I could really make it to the final."

Wei Xia irresponsibly blamed Kobe for their elimination by the Heat.

"Why do you say that?"

"It was the final you told me, but if we reached the final, we would have to see the old men of the Spurs." Wei Xia shook her head shamelessly, "It's boring."

Kobe rolled his eyes.

Although he is no longer in the same team, Wei Xia maintains close contact with Kobe.

Especially when I first returned to Philadelphia, I called Kobe almost every day to ask him how to be the boss of the team.

Most of Kobe's suggestions were unreliable, but the most correct suggestion he gave to Wei Xia came in handy.

It is precisely because of Kobe's advice that Wei Xia can quickly establish his position in the team.

Today, when he suddenly visited, Wei Xia knew his intention, and his own thoughts were also clear.

Buss Jr. made Kobe a lobbyist possibly a wrong decision, because as long as Wei Xia expressed his feelings, Kobe would not be entangled.

After dinner, after watching TV for a while, Wei Xia called Kobe outside and said bluntly: "I decided to renew my contract with 76ers."

"Unshakeable?" Kobe is really not a clever negotiator.

He didn't even struggle.

Generally, if someone wants to pursue someone, they have to be shameless, give up their self-esteem, and have the determination to visit the cottage three times. As long as Kobe sees the other party refuses, he doesn't want to say anything else.

"I know why you are here. You want to prove yourself, but if I were you, I wouldn't stay here. I will fight back the same way! At the beginning, the Bass thought you could not inherit this team, so you had to prove it to them and to me. This is a man!" This was Kobe's last effort.

Wei Xia said with a funny look: "Promise me something."

"What?"

"Mr. Bass will let you be a lobbyist again, you'd better refuse." Wei Xia politely stated that Kobe was a terrible lobbyist.

Unfortunately, the Lakers management did not notice this, and Kobe also felt good about himself.

Not long after, Howard chose a concubine in public, met with many teams, and gave the Lakers several opportunities to convince him to stay in Los Angeles and inherit Kobe's foundation.

Kobe immediately made an amazing statement: "Stay here, I will teach you how to become a champion!"

All Kobe's status in the Lakers was exchanged for sweat and fighting spirit.

When ordinary people encounter his situation, they either feel at ease to be the shark's little brother, or apply for a transaction to find another way. However, he asked the management to give up the shark step by step, and then used his own skills to work hard to achieve two consecutive championships again, becoming the number one person in the history of the Lakers. At the most glorious time, he was close to Michael Jordan's throne.

NBA has undoubtedly entered a new era. The league's first player took the initiative to join the group and achieved success. His fans advocated the argument that Kobe surpassed Jordan in one championship and won two championships. Kobe is still alive in the past, thinking that everyone will get up from wherever he fails.

But, why?

Why should I sacrifice happiness to accompany you, a stubborn old man who was scrapped in his later years? Wouldn't it be happier to find a young thigh to hug it?

The battle started with the Lakers making Kobe the main force in lobbying, and summer's failure was already destined.

Wei Xia rejected the Lakers. Because the Lakers are now at the helm of Buss Jr., he did not do anything too well. He pretended to listen to the quotes of other teams. He turned around and signed a three-year, 75 million contract renewal with the 76ers, including no options.

With the honors Wei Xia has achieved, he can sign a big contract of 6 years and 120 million yuan, but he chose a three-year short contract and some salary cuts are also provided to the team for operational space.

The 76ers used the remaining space and borrowed Wei Xia's relationship to snatch Lamar Odom, who became a free agent this summer from a strong team.

Since being traded by the Lakers in 2008, Odom first played for the Grizzlies, and then joined the Celtics to cut off the Lakers' three consecutive championships. He has been in a wandering state since then.

Leaving the big city, his life is no longer so free and easy.

After winning the Celtics, Odom calmed down, quit some bad habits, and ushered in the third spring of his career.

In these four and a half seasons, Odom was almost all attending, averaging 13 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game. Even in the just-concluded 2012-13 season, he averaged 11 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Odom's joining turned the 76ers' weakest power forward position into the thickest position.

Sadies Young has confirmed his comeback, and Farid has made solid progress. Coupled with Odom's comprehensiveness and experience, with three centers with different styles, Cousins, Hollins, and Hayes, the depth of the inside line of the 76ers has undergone a complete change.

In addition, Weaver, who has been playing CBA in China for two years, also signed a two-year minimum salary with 76ers.

As an old player of the 76ers, Weaver averaged 3055 per game in CBA, leading the Fujian team into the top ten in the league. Although he did not enter the playoffs, he also played some reputation in China.

Moreover, after Weaver returned from China, he kept talking to Wei Xia about how great the rookie center of the Fujian team was.

According to Weaver, the child was only 19 years old and just promoted to CBA to be the starting and inside core, averaging 2010.

Wei Xia knew who Weaver was talking about. The young center was selected for the national training team in 2012, but was returned by the then head coach Deng Huade on the grounds that "he couldn't even defend me."

After all, he is young and there is still room for restoration in defense.

However, there is no position that defense requires more talent than centers, which is exactly what he lacks.

In order to welcome these two old teammates, Wei Xia held a party at home.

It was mid-to-late July, and Wei Xia, who was on holiday by the national team, could get some effort.

Teammates who attended were Cousins, Hayward, Lu Wei and Young.

Weisha and Odom have a good relationship so much that others are surprised because Odom is only a teammate with Weisha for two and a half seasons.

In 2008, although Odom also had a ring in that championship season, he did not participate in the Lakers' journey to the Finals and the Celtics' seven-game winning matches.

Weaver knows why, Weisha and Odom have no explanation.

Seeing them talking about everything, Cousins ​​said rudely: "If I hadn't known that you had no problem with your sexual orientation, I would have doubted you!"

"Young man, you'd better control yourself. Like the last minute mistake in Game 6, you'll be driven crazy by your wish."

Cousins's face turned purple when he heard it, and he wanted to get angry but didn't know where to start. After all, Odom was telling the truth.

After a while, his attention was attracted by other things, and then he forgot Odom.

Like other teams, the 76ers use summer to accumulate energy and recruit soldiers.

Their core team, including Wei Xia, are very young.

Young means great potential in the future. Now they have created a team that can win the championship, and Wei Xia also feels that time is out of the question.

They are only one experienced and excellent coach away from becoming a top team.

Looking at the NBA, all such coaches are the hearts of each team.

Compared with top players, top coaches are harder to find. Because top players are there, everyone's strength can be shown based on last season's performance and scout reports. Top coaches, in addition to those famous coaches who have been active for many years and the middle-aged coaches who have been regarded as souls by various teams, how to find the right one from new coaches is a problem that every management must consider.

After investigation, Hinki has locked in the head coach's candidate, but this is not an ordinary person. He needs Wei Xia's help.

If Wei Xia is not sent out, they have almost no chance of success;

Even if Wei Xia is dispatched, the chance of success is less than half. After all, the other party doesn’t care about NBA’s position at all.

But I have to try it out. At present, there is no one more suitable than him.
