Chapter 982 Will I be kicked away like Shaq

This year's All-Star Weekend is a harvest season for 76ers.

Wei Xia, Kobe and Cousins ​​were shortlisted for the All-Star Game.

Moreover, Wei Xia and Kobe both signed up for the three-point competition.

Siakam was selected for the international team in the Rookie Challenge.

But before the All-Star Weekend arrives, they still have some games to play.

In early February, before the game against the Timberwolves, the arrogant rookie Josh Jackson believed that he could defend Wei Xia alone.

Reason? He thinks he and Wei Xia are in similar figures.

Then Wei Xia asked provocatively when she met, "Please forgive me. I am very optimistic about your future and have no intention of being disrespectful to you. I really think you may not even be able to defend against Kobe."

His words annoyed both of them at the same time.

One is Jackson, who has a high opinion of himself, and even Kobe can't defend himself? A joke!

One is Kobe himself, and Wei Xia's tone sounds like how simple it is to prevent him!

There was no direct conflict between the two, and Jackson began to try every means to use his young body in the game, and many people envied the talent to deal with Kobe.

The youthful vitality in him reminded Kobe of his young self.

Apart from this, nothing impressive.

In Kobe's eyes, Jackson is just a mediocre rookie, even if the Timberwolves chose him with the third pick in the first round.

Wei Xia found that Kobe taught a rookie lesson and started to take action very hard.

With back hitting, the speed under the feet is not as fast as when I was young, and there is no explosive force to force it to pull it up. But like all the old skilled players, Kobe has long learned to use rhythm to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Jackson was famous for his defense when he was in NCAA.

His athletic talent, defensive smell, and mature skills are known as "Wigkins with a full mental state".

Looking at this review now, it is undoubtedly an over-reputation.

He is known to Chinese fans, and he gave Zhou Qi, who played for the 76ers in the summer league last year, as a pitiful background for the exaggerated title of "The Big Devil's Blocks and Rejects Timberwolves Rising Star".

Kobe beat him, and he showed the hint of "You have low IQ".

He will leave enough space for Jackson. As long as Jackson makes a mistake, he will immediately take action to eat away from the opponent's defensive position and score.

Jackson clearly surpassed Kobe in all aspects, but every second fell behind Kobe's rhythm.

He just didn't know how to defend and shoot, nor did he know how to predict the offense. During the game, he was like a headless fly, allowing Kobe to tease him.

When Kobe has enough of him, he will have a backward jump shot that lacks explosive power.

Later, Wei Xia accidentally misplaced and used her beautiful ball-holding attack to knock Josh to the ground.

"Wish was full of demeanor. He gave up the offensive opportunity like a gentleman, and waited for Josh to get up before completing the attack."

The specific situation is not as beautiful as Odom said.

When Wei Xia shook Jackson down, Wei Xia said: "A young man like you, Kobe could play five of him ten years ago."

So Jackson got up and rushed towards Wei Xia.

Wei Xia shook his back and scored again with a shot.

Jackson is not without strengths. His strengths are his technical reserves and explosive physical talents, but Wei Xia is skeptical whether his size is enough.

Jackson's registration height is 203 cm. In fact, he has a blasting head, how much invalid height does this bring? Nowadays, players are not in reality. Those who can sign up for height wearing shoes are considered conscience. Many of them have to reduce their height by 2-4 cm to get close to the real data.

Jackson's problem is not that serious. Big Ben was hitting the explosion and 208 cm in a row, which did not affect his dpoy.

His problem is that technical details are not enough in NBA, and there seems to be problems with the mind.

Being beaten by Kobe and being ridiculed by Wei Xia again, it was as if he had killed him.

Suddenly, he got a chance to cut into the basket.

Cousins ​​was careless in defense and did not cover him, which annoyed Kobe. Especially after Jackson ended the attack with a quasi-game dunk that Kobe could not complete, Kobe's anger burned Cousins: "If you don't know how to defend well, you will never be the No. 1 center in the league!"

Cousins ​​felt aggrieved, he just intermittently neglected. Why did Kobe seem to have let his opponent score a key goal that won the final shot for the entire season?

Moreover, Cousins' professional attitude and defense have improved significantly after the 2016 finals.

He has gone from a star center who is not very good at defending to a superstar center who is good at offense and defense as long as he wants.

After all, he alone withstood the pressure from the inside of Gasol, Drummond and Green in the final that year.

Of course he was dissatisfied with Kobe's criticism, but he did not make a fuss on the spot, but made up his mind to make Kobe no longer point fingers to him.

Wei Xia took these things into his eyes. Kobe inherited Rondo's role. Rondo's leadership and his domineering style, as well as the Kentucky seniors, made Cousins ​​treat him like a mouse and a cat. Even though his strength and team status are far above Rondo's, he dared not disobey Rondo's leadership.

Kobe is just using his qualifications to suppress others.

Cousins ​​can't say anything yet.

I have played for 21 years, with 5 championships and countless honors...

Seeing Cousins ​​being angry and afraid to have an attack so decompressed, Wei Xia couldn't help calling Kobe a few more tactics, making him even more arrogant.

Jackson's patience has its limits.

His hot temper did not allow him to be dominated by a 40-year-old man.

His self-esteem forced him to break through Kobe in one step - an absolute accident! He misjudged Kobe's offensive method - the shame of being passed by the 40-year-old man in one step finally swallowed his reason, and he roughly knocked Kobe to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Cousins ​​instinctively rushed forward and pushed Jackson away: "If you fucking want to play basketball, just play it well for me! If you want to fight, I will kill you immediately!"

He was as fierce as a bear, as if he was not there when the referee was.

The referee stopped Cousins' bullying behavior, and at the same time did not indulge Jackson in his small actions.

Cousins ​​was called a technical foul, while Jackson was called a second-degree malicious foul.

He was expelled on the spot.

The center of the target instantly turned into a performance scene of the boo trio.

Fortunately, Kobe was not injured. He has been hit for 21 years and knows how to protect himself when he falls.

Cousins ​​wanted to help him, but Kobe refused indifferently: "Why do you think I need you to help me stand up?"

Cousins ​​has never seen such a "evil dog", so why can't we tell the difference between good and bad?

Kobe said: "If you are banned for this, our inside line will become extremely empty, but you are not respectful at all. Do you think I will be grateful to you? You are still breastfeeding when I was fighting on the court!"

"Okay, okay!!!"

Cousins ​​was furious: "I'm just a pig if I'm fucking in your business!"

The referee did not expect that the 76ers could argue with each other. The fierce verbal conflict between Cousins ​​and Kobe was also photographed by reporters.

This will undoubtedly trigger a heated round of discussion.

"Hidden danger for 76 people!"

"The conflict between Kobe and Cousins ​​broke out!"

"Cousins ​​disobeyed the leader and angered Kobe!"

"Bryant is very angry at Cousins ​​not protecting him!"

All kinds of news, rumors, and conspiracy theories emerge one after another.

Even though the 76ers beat the Timberwolves in the last 30 points, the first thing the reporter asked in the interview room was: "Why didn't Kobe and Cousins ​​attend the press conference?"

Wei Xia knew they were going to ask this.

Fortunately, he was ready to speak up: "As far as I know, they were having a boxing match in the locker room, and according to the rumor, DeMarcus had the upper hand and he knocked off Kobe's two front teeth."

Wei Xia not only humored the reporter, but also practiced a set of Tai Chi, but did not get any information.

The reason why the 76ers did not let Cousins ​​and Kobe come to the visiting room was mainly because they were worried that Cousins ​​would be asked by reporters and talk nonsense.

This incident has not been extended to the 76ers. Instead, fans and the media are keen to dig deep into the stories behind the conflict.

The biggest difference between the social media era and the past is that popular players often encounter unexpected troubles under the surveillance of the camera.

The media and fans will use the standards of saints to demand players.

Once what they do is flawed, they rush to the moral high ground to slam.

The 76ers are avoiding the chemistry in the team being affected by the media.

After a day, Cousins ​​forgot about the matter, and only when Kobe scolded him would he remember them all.

Sometimes, Wei Xia would remind Kobe to be more tolerant of Cousins.

"I just want him to keep his sense of urgency." Kobe had his reason.

"You can't ask everyone to be as focused as you," Weisha said. "It's like Boge didn't ask you to defend well either."

Kobe has never been unreasonable when it comes to basketball: "I am 40 years old this year, and it is normal for young people to break through easily. He is only 28 years old and he protects all of us. If he can't keep his focus, I may not be able to hand over his back to him."

Wei Xia tried his best, and he couldn't save Cousins ​​from the water and fire.

Kobe is still the Kobe, the paranoid and very harsh Kobe.

But Wei Xia knew that Kobe only paid extra attention to those who he valued. He is not a tyrant like Jordan, who has to beat the tail of the crane in the company who drives them forward. His minions who are above the top and will not affect the overall situation cannot enter his sight.

Since Kobe cannot stop him from continuing his "absurdity", Wei Xia can only comfort Cousins.

"You can look at this from a different perspective," Weisha said with a smile. "Bryant is looking at you with the standards of Shake O'Neal, and you should be happy for yourself."

A panic flashed across Cousins' face: "Will I be kicked away like Shaq?"

“Uh…”
