I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, the 76ers’ crowning match returned to the home court, and their opponent is the Lakers from LA.

Wei Xia, Lakers, Kobe, Jabbarri Parker - these names and place names mean a lot.

Wei Xia was once a superstar who had high hopes for Angel City. ACL tear and disrupted everyone's plans. The Lakers did not believe that he could recover 100%. For the health of the salary space, Wei Xia was let go. Bynum and Gasol brothers left behind for this, they were the cornerstones of the Lakers.

But now, Bynum has disappeared in the NBA, Gasol Jr. is still in the Lakers, and is getting stronger and stronger. His brother chooses to leave the team after his contract expires.

Los Angeles fans are so self-deprecating: We didn’t want Wish at the beginning, but now we are all about Marc Gasol’s future!

Looking back at the point where the Bass family questioned Wei Xia, but now it has been broken by reality. The Lakers have not found an ideal successor to Kobe, and then Parker comes.

The suspicion and concern for him now are similar to Grant Hill who first entered Motor City.

He is too elegant and modest. Although he has a star-like face, he may not be suitable for the city of Los Angeles.

"At least today you can watch us raise the flag, especially you, Kobe." Wei Xia pointed to the staff who were preparing, " Raising a proud flag for your hometown is something you will never be able to do in your life."

"Listen, I have five rings, and I don't care what the hell is, or not, these bastards were destined to break the place with me in one blow," Kobe said fiercely.

But when DJ reported the start of the 76ers and the Lakers, Kobe was the only visiting player to get cheers.

Wei Xia and Kobe both remembered what happened nearly ten years ago when they first came to Philadelphia to play.

At that time, Kobe had not yet come out of the shadow of the Eagle County incident, and his hometown fans were ashamed of him.

Now, he has regained his reputation with practical actions.

Although Kobe's face was still full of murderous aura at the time of the incident, Wei Xia could see that he enjoyed it very much.

Who doesn’t want to return home in glory and return to his hometown? Who doesn’t want their hometown people to be proud of themselves and cheer for their return?

It's all fake to say you don't like it.

When the 76ers raised the third championship flag in team history in front of the Lakers at home, Wei Xia completed his revenge.

From now on, he no longer needs to bear doubts. What he wants to do is to fight for his reputation behind him.

This is the fate of every superstar.

Historical status is a concept of nothingness, just like the saying in "Naruto", only those who are recognized by everyone can become Naruto.

Similarly, only when most people think that you are truly at that position.

Before that day comes, you have to do your best to win the seats in history.

This is the fate of a superstar, this is the destined life of all the top ten in history, and the players who want to make it to the top ten in history.

The Lakers are a strange team.

Their absolute core at present is not Gasol, who has the strongest combat power, nor Parker, who needs the ball, but Kobe who has just recovered from continuous injuries.

At the beginning of the game, the ball rights were concentrated in Kobe's hands.

Kobe doesn't want to be too self-centered. He plays very flexible, but he is not in such a good state.

The main problem for the Lakers is not Kobe, they did not give the ball where they should be given.

After the game, the Lakers played 1-2-2, and then the wingers walked to the free throw line to receive the hand pass from the inside, and then did the follow-up. The main problem with their offense was that they often couldn't run out of opportunities within 24 seconds.

Because except for the two duo of Kobe, Parker, Boozer and Jordan Hill, the others are basically disconnected from the offense.

This is not a problem for the Lakers themselves. The 76ers' defense maintained the power of last season.

Even, as the young people in the team have made more progress than last season, Wei Xia deliberately reduced his moves and devoted his energy to defense.

Moreover, Wei Xia did something that annoyed Kobe.

He went to play Parker!

He went to play Parker!

He actually went to play Parker!

"Get over and guard against me!" Kobe was "neglected", holding the ball and shouting impatiently.

"You can score a goal."

After the opening, Kobe made 0 of 3 shots.

This is definitely not his normal level. It seems difficult for him to treat 76ers in a normal manner.

"Aren't you and Kobe good friends?" Parker asked Wei Xia.

"That's why I don't embarrass him. Do you think his current state is worth my action?" Wei Xia said confidently, "The others are enough."

As soon as Wei Xia finished speaking, Kobe made a strong three-pointer.

He was really angry. Wei Xia was fascinated by Parker. She seemed to like a young and old slut, and had no idea about him, a yellow-faced woman who was not in her peak period.

Kobe is working very hard, but Wei Xia wants to play against Parker more.

Because it is more interesting to play against Parker, no matter how much Kobe is making a fuss, his current physical condition is just like that and it is not new.

Weisha let Parker see the defensive pressure he has never heard of since childhood.

In the first quarter, the Lakers let Parker play for 7 minutes.

He only touched the ball once, and then he was like a rushing little virgin who had given his first time, hurriedly went to fight to kill the enemy, either because of nervousness or because of immaturity, and he could not continue fighting.

That move was his only attack opportunity.

Moreover, the Lakers' offensive core is not his.

When Weisha saw Parker patiently running out of the opportunity, then the ball was played in the hands of others. As the head coach, Byron Scott had no objection to this, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Jabbarri, I'm relieved when I saw your experience."

Parker doesn't understand Weisha's meaning.

What Wei Xia lets go is that it turned out that it was not the Zen master who deliberately messed with him due to factions, which made the potential rookie uncomfortable. This is the Lakers' traditional skill.

I won’t talk about LOGO and Baylor in ancient times. These two people are very strong as soon as they enter the league. The Lakers’ tradition of abusing potential rookies starts with the Magician.

Those who know basketball know that letting the Magicians eat the ball can change the ecology of the court, but the Lakers insist on getting an All-Star point guard to play the ball sharing; as for the difficulty of Kobe from a substitute to the starter, it is even more of a Shura court level - to Wei Xia's experience, and now Parker's team status.

It is undeniable that the Lakers have been a good start to abuse newcomers since ancient times.

Moreover, a selfless and good kid like Parker may take this for granted.

After the match in the quarter, Weisha let Parker make 0 of 1 shots.

Only one shot, which is very rare for Parker.

Wei Xia's defense is indeed very strong, but is it at this point? The Lakers' tactical status given to Parker is the key to him not being able to touch the ball.

After the first quarter, the 76ers established a 12-point lead.

Wei Xia only regrets Parker. There are many blue-collar workers in the NBA who can do everything, but not every class will have an all-round attacker like Parker. Not every class will have players who have a full set of baskets, carry baskets, number 3, number 4, no ball, hold balls, and all kinds of distance attack methods after finishing their freshman year.

Parker will play hard in the Lakers because there is no serious point guard in the team, and the big brother is prone to brain-burning. The second in command may take care of him, but he also wants to make a living. The people around him are young, so he seems to have no other way out except to sacrifice his ball rights.

The most exciting showdown in this game did not happen between Weisha and Kobe, but between Weisha and Parker.

In the second half, the 76ers firmly grasped the 14-point lead. Parker faced Wei Xia at the top of the arc, held the ball significantly, changed direction, and jumped with one foot. The speed was incredibly fast. The moment he completed the slash, he landed with one foot, which made Philadelphia scream.

"Wish must call back!"

That's right, Wei Xia is going to call back.

It's just not as rough as Parker. His approach is to hold the ball at a high position, mainly rhythm control, and he can take action immediately if he shakes a step away.

"Swish!"

"Keep healthy, your career will be long." Wei Xia is an old man from the Lakers. He has to say some suggestions, "Don't change yourself because of the status quo, don't think about making wedding dresses for others. You are not that time yet. No matter who is standing by, you should seize every opportunity to shoot. Don't worry about Kobe, don't worry about Mark, don't worry about coaching, you will be the future of the Lakers. These guys will be washed away by history sooner or later - you are a good rebounder, and your passing techniques and overall view are also very skillful, but don't think too much, please concentrate on being a pure scorer and then win the newcomer of the year."

"He was right."

Kobe suddenly inserted and said something.

Wei Xia turned around and left. Kobe came here like this. He also watched Wei Xia come here with his own eyes. But, does it mean that this road is right when they come here? Why do you have to take a dangerous road if you have a shortcut? Look at LBJ. As long as the result is good, who cares about your success process?

On the contrary, if the result is bad, it will only be criticized for the rest of your life like Barkley, Miller and others.

"If you want the ball, just shout it out loud. If you don't say it, no one knows what you are thinking." Kobe told Parker, "The Lakers need you to score, be a scorer, Jabbarri."

About a few minutes later, Parker suddenly raised his hand and asked for the ball.

"Speak louder!" Kobe yelled.

So Parker raised his tone, wanted to get the ball like a ball bully, and took the initiative to attack.

His shooting percentage is only over 42%, but don't forget that this is the first NBA game of his career. Isn't it more valuable to have him shoot 20 times with a 42% shooting percentage than to let others slap these shots at will?

At least in him, fans can see the future.

Of course, the victory of this game was accepted by the 76ers.

113 to 98

The 76ers won without any suspense.

Before we parted that night, Weisha gave Parker another suggestion: "If you want to stay healthy, it's better to change the way you take off and land. Of course, you played well tonight."
Chapter completed!
