Chapter 76 Victory is Glory

At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets trailed the Pistons by 11 points.

They walked out of the situation in dismay, and Larry Brown was stunned.

As a North Carolina, the person he once hated the most was David Thompson, the ace of North Carolina State University. Because he could do anything people think of except that he could not dunk in the college league.

He really hated this person, once.

As he led the Wolfpack of North Carolina to defeat the arrogant UCL, his reputation has spread throughout the United States, and the two major professional leagues are waiting for him. He is the kind of player who knows he can be the cornerstone at a glance. Even if he can't win the ball, he can still sell tickets. For ABA, who doesn't even have a TV contract, they need box office superstars too much.

Fortunately, the place where the Atlanta Hawks invited Thompson to discuss the contract was McDonald's, which made the latter feel that the Hawks had no sincerity at all, so he joined ABA. That was Brown's first year as a professional basketball coach. Thompson he hated came to his men, and he knew better than anyone else what it means to get him.

Over the past few years, they have achieved almost everything except the championship.

Thompson is now fighting for the scoring champion. The Nuggets, who have already won the Central Division championship, do not value the outcome tonight. Since that's the case, let him beat the score to the end happily. What's wrong?

Brown knew that as long as he let Thompson pass more and let others get into the form, the game would turn around, but even if he wins, the scattered ball will reduce his score. At that time, it will take a little more to say whether he can still win the scoring champion.

After all, he can beat it, and George Gervin can beat it too. The Spurs' shameless team doesn't care about the outcome. They only care about how many fans can be incontinent at home.

"David!" Brown thought his decision was not wrong, "Continue attacking! Don't think about anything! Just keep attacking!"

Wei Xia looked straight into Larry Brown's face. Is it really the old man who had a falling out with Allen Iverson in front of him? Is it really the stereotypical man who can't pee with anyone? Is it really the strong coach who doesn't need the creativity of the players. Just a group of robot-like blue-collar workers can successfully assemble and lead the team to win?

Brown met the disciple's eyes and nodded slightly, which meant encouragement.

He doesn't care about winning or losing today, he only cares about Thompson's honor and disgrace.

Is it a fight for honor? Or a fight for victory?

Unfortunately, it is not Skywalker himself who stands here today.

The person standing here today is Wei Xia. He did play David Thompson for most of the time, but the way he plays the other person makes him feel uncomfortable, that's not him.

It was him playing the game, not Thompson playing the game.

Just like five years ago, he possessed John Haflicek and fought the opponent's retirement battle in his way.

Today, he also wants to use his way.

Is it a battle for honor? Or for victory? For him, victory is glory.

"Brothers!" Wei Xia imitated Thompson's tone, "Be ready to take my pass. The empty space given to you by the Pistons can even put the ball into the basket. Don't even be inferior to women!"

"But Larry said..."

"I hope to win more than the scoring champion. If you really want to support me, throw the open chance they gave you."

What will destroy us will first make us strong.

And what makes us strong will eventually destroy us, but choose again, most people will still lead to destruction.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Eric Manny discovered that David Thompson's center of gravity was sinking violently.

He was like a turtle, with a heavy turtle shell hanging on his back.

"I have never seen you defend so seriously." As soon as Manny said the joke, he was forced back by the momentum of the Skywalker.

There is a great pride and a power of silence in the skywalker. There is something indestructible deep in his heart, an area that cannot be touched or defiled by any cruel thing in the world.

He became himself.

No matter who he comes to, he will play in his own way.

"Skywalker steals Manny!"

The announcer's roar made the cheers at the competition scene resound like thunder.

Wei Xia had a force in his heart, an irresistible force. Whenever it rose in his heart, a sweet tremor spread throughout his body. He always fought for it. He believed that he had made the right decision and he did not regret it. Even if it was proved wrong in the end, he would not admit it.

He rushed to the frontcourt and started the Nuggets' counterattack with this starting point.

Wei Xia is fighting for his sure faith. Therefore, the ultimate sense of everything in the world has no effect on this persistent person, and all experiences are like passing clouds and smoke passing through his smooth mirror of the soul in the morning light and sunset.

Wei Xia believes that he will have experiences traveling to his predecessors in the future, but the people and things he constantly meets cannot change him.

Counterattack dunks, steal the ball and pass the teammates to fast breaks, attract double-team pass Dan Issel to easily score, break through and pass the ball to allow teammates to jump at a high position...

Larry Brown stood silently, and he violated his principles and asked Thompson to pursue his glory. Thompson expressed his rejection, not through words, but through actions.

Half past the fourth quarter, the Pistons' lead was smoothed out.

Then, Wei Xia forcibly broke the opponent's double team, stopped the jump shot with an emergency stop, and scored 66th, helping the team overtake the score.

The away game became home court, fans were intoxicated by his performance, the Pistons became crazy, and they would rather let others score easily than allow Skywalkers to score one more point.

Wei Xia clearly saw that Issel was open at the basket and no one paid attention to him, and he passed the ball.

Issel scored easily.

After Bobby Jones cut in, he was still unattended. Skywalker, who created the concept of "air relay", personally sent airlifts to his teammates.

Another easy assist.

The madness of the Pistons is reflected in every aspect. They don’t know why the Skywalker suddenly abandoned themselves and chased the glory of the entire regular season.

You should know that on another field, George Gerwen defeated his opponent with a 21-point defeat at the cost of 49 shots and scored 63 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. From the statistics, it is not difficult to see that the Iceman does not care about anything except offense. He scored 63 points, which means that Thompson needs to score 80 points to lock in the scoring champion. There is still half a quarter left. If he attacks desperately, there is not a chance.

However, he completed 4 steals and 8 assists in the fourth quarter, but his personal score was only 7 points higher.

At the end of the game, Skywalker Thompson spent all his life with 68 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.

He won the final regular season game of the season, but lost the scoring title he had fought for for months.

But history will give him a fair evaluation.

He lost the scoring champion, but won the game with the best performance of his career.

Green got the scoring champion, but lost with a big difference of 21 points.

In Wei Xia's eyes, he did not lose, nor did Skywalker. He didn't know what the Iceman was thinking. If he made 49 shots in order to grab a scoring king but made the team lose 21 points, he would feel ashamed.

In this way, he turned around openly and had a warm hug with Dan Issel that only a man would have.
