Chapter 931 Tears in the Rain
The care from all over the world is enough to comfort Wei Xia, but the most important thing for him at the moment is still "decision".
His "decision" is different from that of James back then.
But he is definitely more qualified than James to do the live broadcast. However, he didn't want to tell anyone what the decision was before the game started. Therefore, he missed an opportunity to leave his name in history.
——For the first time in history, a player announced live on TV whether he would play with an injury.
In this era of entertainment to death, Wei Xia doesn't have so much entertainment.
Returning to Philadelphia from Golden State, he was besieged by the media as soon as he got off the airport. Fortunately, his agent Dan Fagan was prepared in advance and invited a few strong security guards to squeeze a way for him.
He left the airport without being interviewed.
When he got home, his wife prepared a big lunch for him.
Parents, grandma and sister all came to his home.
Except for Christmas, so many people rarely come to his house.
The concern of family members is important, but it is the greetings from Kobe that give Wei Xia a headache.
In Game 76 of the finals, Kobe will serve as a sports star in Philadelphia to help the [-]ers ring the Liberty Bell before the game.
Nominally for this matter, Bryant came to Philadelphia a day earlier.
In fact, he was concerned about Wei Xia's injury, so he came the day before the game.
Moreover, he came to visit without saying hello. When he arrived at the door, Wei Xia, 32, was fed by his mother like a 12-year-old boy.
"Uncle Kobe, are you coming to visit my dad too?" Wei Zile blocked Kobe's way like Bruce Bowen back then, "He said he didn't want to see you."
Kobe smiled gently and said, "Phil, let me go, and I'll give you another pet next year."
"Really?" Wei Zile was moved.
"Your father knows that I never take back what I say." Kobe said proudly.
"Great! Go in, Uncle, Kobe will have a partner in the future!" He shouted happily, making Kobe very uncomfortable.
He knew that Wei Xia used "Kebei" as the cat's name to avenge him for sending the husky back then, but he didn't mind, anyway, one was Kobe and the other was Kebei, which read like Zhang Xinyu and Zhang Xinyu. Well, the difference is big.
When Kobe entered the living room of Wei Xia's home and saw Wei Xia leaning on the sofa while another elderly middle-aged woman was feeding him apples, he laughed out of joy: "With your current virtue, you still want to come back to play games? Hahahaha~~!!!"
Wei Xia was comfortably enjoying the joy of being taken care of by his mother, but he didn't expect the evil star Kobe to appear suddenly, and the rare enjoyment disappeared immediately.
Seeing Kobe, Mei Chen was overwhelmed by the aura of this guy, and even forgot to ask Kobe to sit down politely.
Although Wei Xia and Kobe have a good relationship, this is the first time Kobe has faced Wei Xia's parents face to face.
"Mom, go get busy. If I want to eat an apple, Kobe will finish the work for you." Wei Xia said aggressively.
Kobe saw that Mei Chen was uncomfortable, and said politely: "Please do yourself, ma'am."
"Talk to me if you need anything," Mei Chen said while walking, "Talk slowly."
In a flash, only Wei Xia and Kobe were left in the living room.
"Don't you think that after you came, the atmosphere of my house has been changed by you?" Wei Xia asked.
Kobe came all the time, he was not polite to Wei Xia, picked up the apple that Mei Chen had peeled for Wei Xia, and put it in his mouth: "This is the breath of a winner, you don't understand."
Wei Xia is modest but knows his own strengths: "I should also be considered a winner, right?"
"You only have four championships, and you don't have a back-to-back three-peat." Kobe ate all the apples that belonged to Weixia, and praised him, "It's so sweet."
Wei Xia corrected him: "You are wrong. I only have three championships. I do not have three consecutive championships, but the finals are not over yet. How can you be sure that I have not?"
Kobe said calmly: "Just because you are so dependent on others now."
"Just because you have no fighting spirit right now."
"Just because you haven't touched a basketball since yesterday, do you still have the courage to play?"
The terrible thing is that it was all hit by Kobe.
Wei Xia is very dependent on his family now, and it can be said that he has no fighting spirit. He threw away the game.
One of the most correct things Kobe said is that Wei Xia has never even touched a basketball since yesterday.
Whenever he closes his eyes, Wei Xia still wants to fight.
However, as long as he twisted his right shoulder a little, the feedback there would be enough to kill all his fighting spirit.
Wei Xia's silence made Kobe understand that he was at a tangled crossroads.
"Don't think too much. Although I could play games with one hand and practice one-handed shooting all night with one hand, your situation is different from mine. I was young at that time, and I had to fight the pressure of the outside world, and I had to prove myself in front of Shaq. What about you? You have already achieved fame, and your desire for success is different from me back then." Kobe kept his eyes open.
Wei Xia looked at Kobe and couldn't help but say, "This is the most thoughtful thing I've heard since yesterday, you don't look as bastard as before."
Kobe's expression was very dangerous. He seemed to be smiling, but also angry: "Don't think that this is your home, so I can't do anything to you."
"Come on, make my injury worse, so I don't have to worry about it anymore, please help me." Wei Xia showed his foul acting skills on the court and asked Kobe to give him a hard hit.
Of course this can't happen.
Kobe is still the same Kobe, he told Wei Xia to go out.
Where to go?
He didn't say anything, but Wei Xia couldn't resist getting into his stolen car, and then he was taken to a nearby basketball court.
The location of Wei Xia's home is a rich area in Philadelphia.
There are also open-air gyms and indoor gyms here, but the biggest difference compared to the gyms in the middle and poor areas is that they exist just to exist, to prove how important a cornerstone of sports is to American society.
Kobe took out a fully inflated ball from the car and handed it to Wei Xia: "Whether you can come back, let's confirm it now!"
Wei Xia was too afraid of the pain in his shoulders, his nerves were sensitive and fragile, so that even if there was only a slight pain in his shoulders, his body would magnify the pain many times.
The doctor's advice is in his ears, his right shoulder may be dislocated again due to external force, but is he really going to make a fool of himself in front of Kobe?
Wei Xia only didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the two groups.
One is family.
One is Kobe, yes, Kobe, not just Kobe, he represents a group of NBA players behind Wei Xia who are regarded as opponents.
If you want to say which of them can motivate Wei Xia the most, it is naturally Kobe.
Now the ball is in Wei Xia's hands.
He glanced at Kobe, made up his mind, tossed the ball, and shot.
"Shh!"
There was a reaction on the right shoulder, but it wasn't the splitting pain that Wei Xia had imagined in advance.
"then!"
Bryant passed the ball to Wesha's chest according to the passing strength of the NBA level.
Wei Xia raised his hands subconsciously to catch it.
The speed of the ball was very fast, and the moment the basketball hit the palm of his hand, his shoulders reacted again, and there was still obvious stinging pain. It was only for a moment, but he still did not dislocate.
His right shoulder was fragile, but not as vulnerable as he thought it would be.
Wei Xia started to dribble, starting from the most basic things like a beginner.
He needs to know what he can and cannot do.
In the end, Kobe ended up fighting him one-on-one. With his current state where he couldn't even exert 10% of his strength, he was naturally abused by Kobe, who had retired for two months.
But the whole game-like training made Wei Xia understand one thing-his condition is very bad, but it is far from the situation he imagined.
A comeback is an option to consider.
In the evening, when Kobe sent Wei Xia home, he said: "Whether you come back or not, you must say hello to me in advance."
"If it was you, would you come back?" Wei Xia finally asked Kobe.
Kobe listened to his question with a calm smile on his face.
He is laughing wildly!
Even Wei Xia's nail stains can figure out the answer to this question!
Of course Kobe will be back!
Nothing can stop him!
Wei Xia began to reflect, is he getting more and more timid?Although he still looks brave, his courage should be far worse than when he was young. In 2008, he was able to play a few minutes in the second half with a torn ACL injury, laying the foundation for the Lakers to eventually sweep the game.
Now he is struggling with whether to come back and play the sixth game.
If it was him in 2008, would he hesitate?
No, at that time he was only looking forward.
Now, he would think, what is the scenery behind the difficulty ahead?
Is it the heavenly other side, or the darker long road?
That night, Wei Xia had dinner and went into the home theater to watch a movie with Kobe in his arms.
He watched the entire "Avatar" first, and then watched "Guardians of the Galaxy", which his family likes very much.
During this period, Kobe had escaped from his hands, and he didn't know where he went.
Elaine kept bringing in snacks, and then watched with him.
She didn't speak much, because she knew that Wei Xia only needed a quiet environment to watch movies now.
In the end, when Wei Xia made Elaine fall asleep on his lap, he decided to watch an old movie—"Blade Runner", a movie that existed before he was born. The idea and storytelling are no longer novelty. The main purpose is to watch a classic, but his appreciation is limited. If it is not too boring, he may not be able to stick to it.
Wei Xia's thinking is basically out of line, follow the plot, a dull and boring movie, although it has its own value in the history of film, it is still not good-looking.
At least Wei Xia kept up with the main line of the story. In the process of chasing and killing four replicants, the protagonist Deka killed two of them, but fell in love with the other—the female replicant Rachel.
In the end, in the duel with the clone Batty, he was simply vulnerable and completely at a disadvantage.
Every clone has only four years of life, and Batty has reached the end of his life. Not only did he not let Deka "back up", but he rescued Deka, and then said the famous last words himself.
At that time, Wei Xia was already very sleepy.
He came here just to hear this passage.
When Batty said that, he closed his eyes——"What I have seen, you humans are absolutely unbelievable; I witnessed a warship, shot at the edge of the Orion constellation, and ignited a raging fire; I have seen C-rays, across the dark space of the 'Tannhauser's Gate'."
"And yet all these fragments, all these moments, will be lost in the flood of time, like tears in the rain."
Wei Xia fell asleep, and his consciousness hooked him into the deepest part of the darkness, which was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
