In mid-April, Wei Xia officially announced that she would stay in school for one year.

reason?

"The National Championships are an experience that many players are proud of, and I want to have this experience." This is what Wei Xia said to the outside world.

Draft expert Chad Ford believes Weisha made the wrong decision.

"Now is the best time for wish's draft prospects. He is not the kind of player with a very high ceiling. We can see his ceiling at a glance. Playing as a college league for one more year will have many adverse effects on his draft prospects. If his progress next year does not meet expectations, it is very likely to fall to the end of the first round or even the second round."

Ford's friend, espn columnist Bill Simmons, clearly opposed him: "I think wish is right. You can never use a year or two to determine a player's career. Talent is not absolute. He has advantages beyond talent."

The media quarrels have nothing to do with Wei Xia. He now needs to maintain normal training, complete the homework assigned to him by the school, and improve the credits to the upper middle level.

In the following period, the NBA playoffs attracted the attention of many people.

As history shows.

Rashid Wallace, the Pistons exchanged for trade deadline, made them the most powerful Eastern Conference team, while the Lakers in the Western Conference experienced a 0.4-second victory over the Spurs and six games in the division finals to cut Minnesota's wolf skin and Garnett's chest-beating hand to enter the finals.

In the finals, the F4 Tian Group, which claimed to win 82 at the beginning of the season, not only failed to achieve results, but was eliminated by Motor City within five games.

Wei Xia watched the entire finals at home in Philadelphia. If she wanted to find the person responsible for the loss, Gary Payton would not be able to escape.

He was beaten to the point of being completely wiped out by Billups. For a while, the Zen master even arranged for Kobe to defend Billups. The F4 battleship looked magnificent, but in fact it was fragile inside.

During the regular season, Payton averaged 146 and shot up to 47%, but in the finals, he averaged 3 points per game and shot up to 32%, allowing Billups to play in the best series of his career and won FMVP.

Payton's blood collapse caused the collapse of the dominoes, and the Lakers were in a difficult position and lost sight of each other.

Payton has always been the starter, averaging 33.6 minutes per game, unable to attack or defend, and his legs are slow, like a classic car, forcing the Lakers to adjust their tactics frequently just to fill in the pit. The data is not enough to show how bad he is.

The most typical moment.

Game2 had 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in the third quarter, and the Lakers served. Payton took the ball in the backcourt to face the frontcourt press of Billups and Hamilton. He used the gloves that had been defensive for life and was forced to doubt his life. He stopped the ball for no reason. Kobe wanted to respond, but Prince's long arm was interfering. Payton could not make the ball, probably because he was worried about the eight-second violation, and was anxious. His foot movements were not explained properly. In less than four seconds, he walked.

The second person responsible is Malone. He was injured and there was no need to take the blame, and no one wanted to be injured. This was not his subjective behavior, but his injury caused the Lakers to be unable to play pick-and-roll, and there was a less important part of the tactical level. More importantly, he severely damaged the Lakers' inside depth.

As soon as he fell, the Lakers were all sharks that could not be received and a series of cats and dogs that did not need to be mentioned here.

The third person in charge is Kobe, a cancer that is inefficient and ignores sharks.

If you can look at the series objectively, you should know that Kobe's responsibility is not because of his low shooting percentage. In fact, Kobe's shooting percentage is 1 high in the team, and there are a lot of balls during the game. Because the whole team's tactics were locked very hard, Kobe often had to forcefully deal with the tactical balls he killed.

Kobe only has two problems. One is that he has limited singles opportunities. He has not scored any goals he can score, failed to force the Pistons to make tactical adjustments, and failed to play Jordan-level oppressive force. His biggest problem is that he began to act recklessly and ignores his teammates' singles challenge, but his singles ability is obviously not high. The Lakers, who are behind in a big way, encountering Kobe who is not in a state, will naturally make it worse.

1. Other Lakers' other players in the series average score and shooting percentage, Fisher, 6.4 points, 30.6% shooting percentage, Devin George, 5.8 points, 39.3, Medvedenko, 3.6 points, 35.3%, Rush, 3.6 points, 31.8%, Walton, 3.3 points, 38.5%, Cook, 1.3 points, 18.7%, Fox, 2.7 points, 57.1% shooting percentage (less than 2 shots per game, meaningless). Oh, right, the two elders in f4 should also join in. Malone, 5.0 points, 33.3%, Payton, 3.0 points, 32.1%.

Compared with them, Kobe averaged 24 points per game, and his shooting percentage of 38% doesn't look that bad?

The most important question is why the sharks can't receive the ball?

The problem is that he can't get the ball, but that he can't get the ball since the 2003-04 playoff season.

In the first round, they averaged 13 shots against the Rockets, in the second round, they averaged 14 shots against the Spurs, in the division finals, against the Timberwolves, and in the finals, they averaged the most shots against the Pistons - 16 times.

If you enlarge the volume a little and count the regular season, he averaged only 14.1 shots per game. Well, even so, it is possible that Kobe used his mind to control Payton/Fisher and others to not pass the ball to him, so he opened his eyes and looked back. The Sharks averaged 15 shots per game at the Heat in 2005, 0.4 more than the Lakers in 2004, so Wade did not pass the ball? In 2006, he averaged 13.6 shots per game at the Heat. Wade was alone? Needless to say, the number of shots gradually decreased, which is related to the rules. The Sharks' aging cannot be ignored.

(I just hope some people can look at the so-called "Kobe does not pass the ball to the Shark" more intuitively.)

Kobe is not a point guard, he cannot decide who the ball is in. What he needs is not the ball rights, but the shooting rights. The direct reason for the Sharks not to receive the ball is that the Pistons' defense and joint defense have become increasingly difficult after the legalization of the Pistons' defense and joint defense. It is not easy to catch the ball. Looking at the shooting percentage of those people above, it is not their fault, but the Lakers' offensive system has been destroyed by the Pistons' defense.

In summary, Wei Xia (I) thinks that there is nothing wrong with the Lakers F4 defeating the Pistons. What internal strife is that Kobe doesn't pass the ball and it's just nonsense. They can't beat the Pistons, except for the injury impact of Malone, they are simply not strong enough.

After watching the finals, Wei Xia is about to start preparing for her sophomore season.

This is his last college season, and before entering the draft next year, he hopes to play perfectly and help the team succeed in the new season.
