Chapter 955 I~Drip~Brother
During the 2016-17 season, the first day of preseason training camp for the Philadelphia 76ers had a disturbing omen.
In a confrontation match, when Andre Robertson was performing a violent dunk, he landed unsteadily and fell hard, resulting in a broken bone.
In less than a day, a non-important matchup cost the 76ers one of the three most important players on the wing.
It will take about five months for Robertson to recover. As for the comeback, considering how precious the players' bodies are nowadays, he is likely to choose to be reimbursed for the season so as to fully recover from the injury.
Jay Wright frowned. He had just renewed his contract with the 76ers for five years, and he was about to do a big job, leading this dynastic team that was relatively young on the whole to hit the NBA's second four consecutive championships after 1962.
The 76ers lost many important players during the offseason, but Kobe's arrival rekindled their hopes.
Because the 76ers haven't reached the end of their battle.
Most of the dynasty teams will encounter some problems when they hit the three consecutive championships.
For example, the aging of personnel, such as the decline of enthusiasm.
The core players of the 76ers are still young. Wei Xia is only 32 years old and is still at his peak.
Hayward and Cousins are full-blooded, coupled with strong support for Kobe, they are fully capable of attacking the championship.
However, Robertson's injury is a sign of tension.
The wear and tear on players from long-term campaigns cannot be healed in one summer. Moreover, there has been no battle attrition for three consecutive years. For a championship team, it is really rare luck.
Perhaps their luck has run out.
No matter what the result is, Wright needs the team to bite the bullet and continue to support.
The bad effect of Robertson's serious injury is to make his teammates fearful of the match.
For several days in a row, no one dared to contribute in the confrontation, for fear of getting hurt.
Finally, Kobe couldn't bear the confrontation at the WNBA level. After Wang Zhelin defended with his eyes, he broke out: "I doubt that you can't even guard against junior high school students!"
Wang Zhelin opened his eyes wide in confusion.
He couldn't understand, which might be the only advantage of the language barrier, but through Kobe's expression and tone, he knew that the other party was dissatisfied with his performance.
"You don't need to vent your anger on the rookie, do you?" Wei Xia thinks that Wang Zhelin has done his best in defense, but he is simply not capable enough.
Kobe said angrily: "I really can't believe that you are the champions for three consecutive seasons. Damn it, you are a bunch of cowards! Idiots! Cowards who don't dare to fight, I fucking jumped into the pit!"
"How dare you say that the Lakers didn't even make the playoffs last season!" Cousins complained dissatisfied.
At this moment, Kobe perfectly inherited the role of Rajon Rondo: "Stop fucking changing the subject! I joined you because I saw a tough team in the finals, but now you don't dare to play intensity because someone is injured. It makes me fucking sick!"
Judging by the intensity and frequency of "fuck" in his words, you can tell that he is really angry.
Kobe became a villain, and at the same time, he also mobilized the fighting spirit of young people.
The young people led by Cousins wanted to shut up the old bastard who relied on the old, and the intensity began to increase.
The 37-year-old Odom, who was excluded from the test match, ate a candy to cheer up seeing Kobe arousing the anger of young people: "Kobe is still Kobe!"
When the two sides got serious, Wang Zhelin, who had an obvious gap in strength, couldn't keep up with the intensity of offense and defense.
He has no shooting ability, so if he wants to play a role on the offensive end, there are no more than two options, playing in the low post, or rolling in the pick-and-roll.
But his ability to finish down the line cannot stand the test in the NBA.
In the CBA, he can use tonnage to fight against him, while the beasts in the NBA can often block his ball with a single stride. The speed and intensity of the flank attack are not comparable to the CBA.
Siakam, who is the same age as him, but only participated in the draft this year, completely exploded him in this match.
The only shining point of Wang Zhelin is to prove that as long as the space is wide enough, he is confident that he can take it alone for an insider with insufficient strength like Siakam.
He played Siakam in the low post twice.
At other times, it is basically a fight between Wei Xia, Kobe, Hayward, and Cousins.
Wei Xia excitedly showed the ultra-long three-pointer and single-action shooting he has been practicing recently, as well as the single-action shooting with ball drift.
Kobe is not as fancy as him, he simply changed the catch three-pointer into a single-action shot.
His shots are faster than before, his stability is greatly improved, and when he is full of energy, he can hardly believe that this is a 38-year-old man.
In the end, Wei Xia dominated the match.
He defended against Kobe first, and then singled out Kobe's defense with the ball.
Kobe found that this is different from the explosive power shown by Wechat during the special training some time ago.He was also beaten back then, but his body was still able to react. This time, he didn't know what happened, and people just walked past him.
Too fast, too fast!
Wang Zhelin completed the only assist defense in place in the audience, but Wei Xia cleverly cast magic, seemingly laying up, but in fact, at the moment of receiving the ball, he sent the ball to Cousins in a commanding manner, and the latter dunked the lore.
Wei Xia's white team won the game, and Wang Zhelin shouted with a thick Fuzhou accent: "Is this Magic Move?!"
"You're so happy!" Kobe yelled angrily.
Wang Zhelin hoped that Wei Xia would help him with the translation, but his translator left due to something.
Wei Xia said mischievously: "He is praising you for defending well!"
"3Q deduction!" Wang Zhelin laughed.
It's understandable for Kobe to blow his hair. He doesn't understand, he just doesn't understand why one or two of these Asians are so annoying. Could it be that a good person like Yao Huang is really a strange thing among Chinese people?
The loser has to run in circles.
There is a humane provision in Wright's penalty for losing, which is exemption for those over 35 years old.
This rule was originally called the Odom rule. Now that Kobe is here, there are two people in the team who can benefit from it, so it is also called the veteran rule.
Wang Zhelin started running shaking his sexy buttocks, and everyone was amused by him.
"He's still learning English, no matter how much you scold him he won't understand." Wei Xia gave a friendly suggestion.
"Damn it, teach me a few words of Chinese!" Kobe's desire to interact was extremely strong.
Wei Xia seemed reluctant, but a little evil flashed in his eyes: "What do you want to learn?"
"Non-discriminatory slurs, are there?"
"Don't underestimate Chinese, Kobe."
"Teach me quickly!"
"Okay." Wei Xia said in a straight voice, "Next time he disappoints you again, if you really can't help it, just call him that - wo~di~ge!"
"Hold Teague?"
"Pay attention to my pronunciation—I~di~brother!"
"What about me?"
"You're so stupid, I'll teach you one last time——I~dip~brother~ pay attention, in the last speech, the word 'brother' is the essence of the whole sentence, without it, the meaning will change!"
Bryant memorized the pronunciation. Although the intonation was still not quite right, it was good enough for an American.
Then he asked Wei Xia to teach him another one.
He hoped to know how to tell Wang Zhelin to defend well in Chinese. Wei Xia did not play tricks on this, and taught him very seriously.
Kobe's desire to speak is far stronger on the training ground than on the court.
He can't accept that his teammates are single-threaded. Some people play too badly, so he wants to complain.Some people have faults in their performance, and he wants to point it out.What if someone played well?He will not offer praise, in his opinion, it is a matter of course.
That's what he asks of himself, like Jordan.
It's just that if he thinks you are hopeless, he won't say another word to you.And Jordan is different, you either keep up with him, or dig a hole and bury yourself, or leave the team, there is no fourth way.
Robertson's unexpected injury cast a shadow over the 76ers' season prospects before it even started.
But Wang Zhelin brought a lot of laughter.
Whether it’s his silly and happy smile, or his funny English accent, or the defense that drives Kobe crazy every day, and the wonderful low post play that must be turned to the basket—he likes post play, but he doesn’t have a stable back to the basket attack ability. More than 95% of his back to the basket attacks are finally completed by turning to the basket. This works in the CBA, and it may become a ruthless cap sending machine in the NBA.
Starting today, apart from Wang Zhelin, there will be Kobe on the training ground.
Whenever Wang Zhelin made a bad defense that he couldn't stand, he would shout with a weird Chinese accent mixed with Italian and American: "I~diao~pigeon~, please defend well!!!"
Hearing him say that for the first time, Wang Zhelin rolled on the ground laughing regardless of the seriousness of the scene, and tears came out.
Wei Xia swears to God, he never taught Kobe "Please defend well", what he taught was very polite, "Please defend well" that can highlight the gentlemanly atmosphere that exists in Kobe.
Kobe may have misremembered the pronunciation, but it is not a bad sentence in Chinese. Although it is not so polite to say it, the emotional investment has obviously increased, not to mention the level of humor.
That day, Wang Zhelin had to change someone to help him play the match because his stomach cramped from laughing.
Wright once thought he was suffering from epilepsy, so he called the team doctor to check for a long time.
"Is there something wrong with my pronunciation?"
Kobe didn't suspect Wei Xia yet, he asked seriously.
How can Wei Xia tell the truth?He said in a more serious tone: "The problem is too serious. I really feel sorry for your learning ability. Don't say that I am your Chinese teacher when you go out in the future. I can't afford to lose that person."
"gone!"
Wei Xia was afraid of showing his flaws, so he walked quickly to the gym with a guilty conscience.
Kobe hesitated for a while before shouting: "When did you become my teacher?"
"I~Di~brother, don't ask me to learn Chinese from now on!"
Wei Xia's response convinced Kobe that "wo~di~ge" was really a curse word. It was not until three years later that Wang Zhelin became fluent in English that Wei Xia's "evil" was exposed.
⑴I originally thought that the Minneapolis Lakers had four consecutive championships, but I checked and found that they had six championships in seven years, and they just lost the championship in the fourth year, so uh
