The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

"Why did you let me play in the last 6 minutes? My hands were so hot throughout the third quarter."

In the Trail Blazers locker room, Durant complained slightly dissatisfiedly that he only played in the last 6 minutes of the last quarter, but at that time the Trail Blazers were already 17 points behind.

Even if Durant scored 4 points in 11 minutes, it was still to no avail. This led to the team finally losing the game 99-109. The big score in the series became 0-2 behind. The Trail Blazers were already in the game. On the edge of a cliff.

Unlike the lifeless team of the Trail Blazers, the Timberwolves are harmonious.

"Damn, that Durant is really good. I prepared so many countermeasures for him before the game, but it still didn't work. He scored 36 points. He is really a cruel person." The person who is most hostile to Durant Westbrook actually started praising him.

"I'm sorry, my God, I didn't guard him. I will try harder next time. Damn it, I'm so weak." Jimmy Butler, who was out of tune with everyone's joy, was the first to blame himself.

"It's not your fault Jimmy, even I can't guard him. You've done a good job." As the team's eldest brother, Josh naturally wanted to praise his younger brother.

"That's right, Jimmy, you don't have to blame yourself. With his height, he shoots as soon as he gets the ball. He has no temper at all. Unless you ask the coach to go up on stilts, then maybe you can limit it." Jr. joked.

"Are you sure the coach won't get a huge split when he comes up? With his disguise, it's really not something that ordinary people can keep up with." Josh said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Yeah, why don't I give you a somersault?" Ibaka on the side quickly interjected.

"Then the floor is too fucking slippery, you know, the floor is too slippery, you idiot."

"Ah, this breaks the defense. The best defensive player is not very good, so this breaks the defense."

"You're not being strict anymore, Russell, he's just a first-defense player, not a dpoy." Jr joked again.

"You bunch of fucking idiots, let's fight one on one when we have the ability."

At this time Xu Xiao said:

"Okay guys, you played well this time, but don't relax. You have to keep working hard in the next game. After all, the Rose Garden is not easy to break."

"We still have you, coach." Oden, who was still doubtful and confused about Xu Xiao's training at first, was the first to stand up and said. Now he has completely surrendered to Xu Xiao.

"Yes, as long as we play according to your requirements, it will be so easy to win the game."

Xu Xiao just smiled and said nothing.

After returning home from this game, Xu Xiao began to study the video of this game repeatedly.

He always felt that although he won this game, there were still many things that he didn't pay attention to.

"What exactly went wrong? This is completely different from what I originally expected."

Xu Xiao scratched his head and thought hard. Before this game, he thought he had thoroughly studied Durant and arranged it very well. According to his plan, this game could completely defeat Durant and speed up Durant's departure. pace of.

"Maybe my thinking is wrong. I can win this game because of the strength of the players and the opportunity given by the opposite coach. Otherwise, this game will probably be on the line."

Xu Xiao smiled bitterly. In his last life, he really didn't like Durant's behavior of surrendering to the enemy, but now it seems that Durant is really strong. He almost destroyed a team by himself. This is the most unique thing about him. .

This is the feeling that James in last year's finals never gave him.

"That's not right. I remember that Durant was not like this when I watched the Warriors fight in my last life. And during the period when he was not with the Warriors, neither the Thunder, Nets nor Suns were very successful, although the statistics are similar. .”

Suddenly a bold idea appeared in Xu Xiao's mind.

"Yes, if you Durant are good in singles, you are also good in singles. In this case, let me try to see if you, the God of Death, can wield your scythe."

At noon the next day, everyone gathered at the airport to fly to Portland for their third game.

On the plane, Xu Xiao was not idle, giving them new ideas for the next game.

"Demar, you start the next game."

Hearing Xu Xiao suddenly call him, DeRozan immediately became energetic.

He played too poorly in these two games. Without the main force to help him attract defense, DeRozan, who organized and fed the ball, did not perform satisfactorily. He only scored a total of 15 points in the two games.

Facing a player with poor defense like Gerald Green, DeRozan can't make it securely. If he continues to play like this, his big contract will be lost.

Of course, some people are happy and some are sad. After hearing that Xu Xiao let DeRozan return to the starting lineup, Jimmy Butler's face instantly showed a disappointed expression.

In his opinion, it was his two poor performances that caused the coach to lose confidence in him. Now he only feels that he is useless and cannot seize the opportunities he gets.

"Jimmy, listen carefully to me. If you perform so poorly in the next game, you will be kicked out of the starting lineup."

Butler came to his senses only after hearing Xu Xiao's roar.

"Yes, okay...huh? Coach, what did you just say?" Jimmy was suddenly startled. You said that if I don't perform well, I will be kicked out of the starting lineup?

"Yeah, you damn thing still want me to repeat it a second time?"

"Then ask me, is this the first match?"

"Jimmy, if you're asking these stupid questions, just jump out of the plane with no parachute, just a big umbrella."

Xu Xiao roared at him.

"Relax Jimmy, I'll be the substitute for the next game." At this time, Ibaka came over and said to Butler.

This lineup was also carefully thought out by Xu Xiao, who had also asked Ibaka for his opinion before, and Ibaka was indeed a champion puzzle piece and had no complaints at all.

In addition, he also knows that he can't guard players like Ade at all. Instead of being beaten by the opponent, it is better to go to the substitute to fuck your teammates.

This lineup requires Josh to cover the fourth position.

"Don't worry, coach, I've been playing the fourth position for six years before coming to Minnesota. You know I was in Atlanta, partnered with that guy Marvin, and no one could tell which of us was the real fourth position. "

Josh patted his chest and assured Xu Xiao.

Xu Xiao also believes that Josh himself is a swingman at the third and fourth positions. This is because he was given Paul's skills and allowed him to specialize in the third position, but it does not mean that he cannot play the fourth position.

Against a power forward with solid skills like Ade, Paul's defensive skills are particularly important, such as judging the passing route, when and when to take the ball, and some small moves. These are all Iba's skills. The card does not have it.

There is another core point of this lineup, and that is speed. Players in every position must be faster than their opponents, so the next game is destined to be a "spear" battle.
