The referee blew the final whistle and the game came to an end.

Wei Xia stood up confidently from the bench. Looking at the data alone, he was far from Kobe, and only had good assists.

But if you want to systematically discuss your contribution, your performance is beyond criticism from both the offense and defense.

He scored 16 points with just 9 shots, allowing Arenas to score 27 points with a 22% shooting rate at the cost of 34 shots.

It can be said that the Wizards lost in Arenas' offensive efficiency.

As soon as the game ended, Arenas walked to the Lakers' bench and said to Wei Xia: "You won, it won very well. I will remember what happened tonight. I hope you don't be too proud."

Wei Xia showed a faint smile, and he never was too proud.

"You mean, can I be slightly proud on the basis of 'Don't be too proud'?" Wei Xia's reading comprehension got full marks in Arenas.

"Of course!" Arenas smiled cheerfully, "under your defense, I look like a piece of shit. If the league didn't allow us to wear negative jerseys, I would never wear No. 0."

For a long time, Arenas may be the first player to be completely angered by Wei Xia and not hold a grudge after the game.

"No. 0 is suitable for you." The opponent respected him, so he naturally should not be arrogant. Wei Xia has never been an arrogant person.

Finally, Arenas and Wei Xia shook hands and greeted each other.

"Next season, I will still find a way to get 70 points on you. This is what you owe me." Arenas suddenly changed from a herbivore to a carnivore, and said fiercely.

If Arenas can score 70 points in a game, even in the regular season, it will definitely be a game that will be recorded in history.

Some people want to write themselves into history, even if it is a Brian Russell-like shameful background board, Wei Xia is willing to accept it.

"I look forward to that day." Wei Xia said bluntly.

Arenas just hummed wildly when he said something sarcastic, and turned around.

His number 0, his arrogance, and his confidence in taking action at any position after crossing the LOGO are all the points that make his opponents feel tricky.

There are unexpected situations in the world. Wei Xia and Arenas did not expect that the battle tonight will be tomorrow's peak duel.

In the near future, Arenas has suffered from injuries and a scandal of gun-wielding locker room, and quickly fell from a top-tier superstar in the league to an ordinary player who was ignored. Later, he even met with the most difficult players who Kobe personally enthroned.

At this time, Arenas was only 25 years old, and it was the time to rise rapidly? Who would have thought that his fall was like a meteor?

Wei Xia couldn't imagine it? He is still looking forward to the showdown next season.

It’s a pity that when we meet again, people are destined to be different every year.

"Rare? Someone is willing to shake hands with you after the game." Kobe joked at Wei Xia after accepting the live interview.

Wei Xia heard that, too? Even he himself felt strange.

"It means he respects my game style." Wei Xia divided the matters on and off the court very well, except for Andre Bogut and the petty O'Neal and... countless opponents with a narrow mind? He almost never cared about his conflict with them.

Kobe wanted to continue joking, but couldn't think of any interesting words to stimulate Wei Xia.

His stimulating talent is not as strong as Wei Xia.

I like to make untimely jokes.

"It's okay? You can wait for the All-Star Weekend to 'respecting each other' again," said Kobe.

At this time? It was already early February.

The All-Star Weekend vote is over.

Second-year Wei Xia and Kobe were selected into the All-Star Game together.

The player he pushed out of the All-Star was Ray Allen from the Seattle Supersonics.

Kobe doesn't like Ray Allen. The two had a quarrel over the number of shots before. Wei Xia squeezed him out of the All-Star this time, which undoubtedly made Kobe feel relieved.

Of course? There are many people who question it.

On the data alone? “Jesus” looks much better than Vescha.

He averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

Wei Xia's average score of just 20 points per game, with 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists.

In terms of the value of the data, Allen is the true core who led the Supersonics to the last place in the Western Conference. Although his record is not good, his opponent's defensive focus will definitely fall on him.

Wei Xia is the second leader who helped the Lakers return to the top five in the Western Conference? Kobe is around him to attract firepower. While getting this data, he faces not the greatest defensive pressure.

Ray Allen's fans were indignant.

This is not the first time that Lakers fans have promoted new players. Kobe, who was second-year-old, was sent to the Western Conference All-Star starter by Lakers fans with extremely irrational votes?                                                                                                      

Wei Xia's All-Star Weekend was more convincing than Kobe back then.

First of all? The data is better.

Secondly, Kobe was the fourth or fifth player in the Lakers then, while Wei Xia was the second player in the Lakers.

Moreover, when Kobe suppressed a group of big shots and started, Wei Xia only suppressed the roster of Ray Allen, who had the lowest votes, to buzzer-beating.

The opponent's data is better, Wei Xia's record is better, and the number of Lakers fans is overwhelming. If you really have to "sit down", the sound of the supersonics is not enough to watch.

He won the sixth best player of the year in the first year and became the All-Star in the second year. Wei Xia's progress can be seen from the naked eye.

But what he himself wants to see is being selected for the best defensive team of the year, even if it is a second team.

Nowadays, it is not easy to enter the defense array because his positioning is very embarrassing.

He should be compared with the defender, but he always plays on the wings in the Lakers and occasionally stands on the defender. Although he is just a shooting guard, what will the league think?

If it is a wing, he will compete with Bowen, Duncan, Garnett, Prince, Lagar Bell and others.

If you are considered a defender, assuming Kobe has a position of one defense, Kidd also has a position, and the others, Wei Xia is completely confident to compete with him.

Wei Xia and Kobe returned to the locker room.

Jackson asked Wei Xia to clean up and prepare to attend the press conference.

Wei Xia, who didn't want to move at all, was forced to change into a suit and went to the media visiting room with Kobe and Zen Master.

"Alinas thinks that playing against you is the most difficult thing as an NBA player. How do you think of his evaluation?"

Washington reporters raised questions.

If Kobe is not involved, Weisha's answer style is fixed: "Gilbert is a competitive superstar. He doesn't tell lies, I agree."

He praised Arenas and humorously in his style.

The atmosphere of the press conference was more harmonious, and Kobe's failure to score 60 points was once again put on the table by the media. He insisted on his original statement - that is, he did not want to use garbage time to brush data.

After the show ended, Wei Xia, Kobe and Jackson returned to the locker room.

The Zen master made a brief speech and asked the players to leave.

Some have to take the bus back to the hotel, some have to have some fun, while Wei Xia wants to fill her stomach.

Some teammates wanted to invite him to a nightclub, but he refused. He just wanted to eat something and went back to the hotel to sleep obediently.

Only Ryan Hollins followed him.

It is embarrassing to go out alone with Hollins. He never takes the initiative to talk. If Wei Xia deliberately finds topics, his reaction is just perfunctory, "Oh, is that?"

They stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant.

The name of the Chinese restaurant is extremely simple, just use four Chinese characters plus the pinyin: Chinese Hotel.

It seems like I'm afraid that others won't know.

"Can you eat Chinese?" Wei Xia asked.

"I'm not picky about food," Hollins said.

He is not picky about food, so go in.

Basketball is not a very eye-catching thing in the Washington area. After all, it is the capital and local people are more concerned about politics.

Therefore, Wei Xia's appeal is not as big as Hollins, 210 cm.

The guy asked Hollins: "Sir, you are so tall, you must be a volleyball player, right?"

Hollins nodded.

Then an Asian-faced waiter came: "What do you need?"

"Have you ever had Chinese food?" Wei Xia asked.

Hollins thought, "I've eaten dumplings."

"A serving of fried noodles, roujiamo, three fresh soup and dumplings." Wei Xia immediately ordered the dish.

The waiter went, and Hollins and Weisha remained silent for several minutes.

Wei Xia just wanted to see how autistic he was.

Hollins finally realized he had to say something to break the increasingly awkward situation, "Do you like Chinese food?"

"I can't say I like it very much. I just have an inexplicable sense of intimacy with things from China. This has something to do with my family." Wei Xia's preference for Chinese food is more than that.

It is also related to the late Red Auerbach.

During his coaching career as a basketball coach, Auerbach always ate Chinese food after the game. His reason is simple: In almost any NBA city, there is a Chinese restaurant that opens late at night. He will call in advance, pack and take food away on the way back from the field, and eat it in his room. More importantly, because he always wants to eat steamed food, it does not affect his sleep like other foods.

Chinese food nourished the most successful dynasty team in the NBA's history, making the team's helmsman sleep soundly every night while waking up, getting up and going to the airport, and then going to the next city. It was in the dark age of the NBA, when the team went away in economy class and got up at dawn to catch the first flight to the next city. There was no strict regulations; no five-star hotel; no reassuring transportation.

For Auerbach, the most famous coach in NBA history, most nights are the same: a game, having Chinese food before bed, getting up before dawn, and flying to somewhere along with the sunrise.

Wei Xia traveled through the past few years and occasionally ate Chinese food ordered by Auerbach. He found that Auerbach's Chinese food was different from what he ate now. After being transformed, he fully catered to the taste buds of Americans, but authentic Chinese fried noodles.

Unfortunately, this restaurant, known as the "Chinese Hotel", is also a restaurant that goes with the flow, and their Chinese food is made for Americans.
