The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

The Lakers finally defeated the Spurs with a total score of 4 to 1 and successfully advanced to the finals. Their opponent was James who reached the finals in the first year. After the magical performance in the Eastern Conference Finals, people began to look forward to this " What kind of performance will the "Little Emperor" play in the finals? I also look forward to the scene of 23 vs. 24.

Xu Xiao smiled. In the previous life, people were looking forward to the stars and the moon, but they didn't expect it to happen because of him. It seems that he really made the whole NBA change, but now It's just started, and the entire nba will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future, and it will depend on him alone.

Although the finals was very topical and concerned, and it was a game that Xu Xiao had never seen before, he still felt that it was meaningless. In his opinion, the Cavaliers could last until the fifth game in this round of the series. Even if they win, because the difference in strength between the two teams is too great, if it wasn't for Yilin's promise, Xu Xiao wouldn't even want to watch the match.

"Boss Xu is here again." After the last time, Xu Xiao has become a celebrity at Staples. Now, as soon as Xu Xiao came to Staples, he went down to the security guards and went to Los Angeles. The big man, the big Hollywood director , big actors and big stars would all greet "kindly", and some would even say thank you for his contribution to the Lakers. Without him, the Lakers would have struggled in the first round. Where would they watch such a beautiful game? Woolen cloth.

Xu Xiao was very upset about what he said, and he wanted to send Garnett to a strong team to win the championship, and also wanted to change Kobe's career, but now he is Staples. Clown, this made Xu Xiao more and more annoyed.

Gotta give these guys a good look!

When he was secretly angry, a pair of soft little hands gently grabbed his arm.

"You're really on time, you come so early every time." This time, Yilin changed into a delicate sportswear, a standard sports girl, looking sunny and refreshing.

"What are you looking at?"

"Well, it's okay, today's body is really refreshing." Xu Xiao also said hastily after recovering.

"How is it? Does it look good?" the girl said happily.

"Everything looks good on you."

"You can really talk."

The two just chatted with each other, neither of them was focused on the game, and the Cavaliers were soon exhausted. Xu Xiao had already said that the Cavaliers couldn't resist the Lakers' attack at all. And his own offense will be easily defended by the Lakers. In the 1.0 period, James, although his physical talent has reached the peak, his outside shooting is not good enough, which makes the Lakers very good. With a super defensive inside line, it is not a problem to suppress James who you have not devoted yourself to. Even in the last life, James developed the mid-range and was not afraid of the Celtics. Now James is still too immature.

However, in the third quarter of the game, the camera showed Xu Xiao again, this time he was also very helpless, and the whole Staples cheered again, because this time it was a big lead, which made the Los Angeles people jealous. Xu Xiao's words were full of sarcasm and sarcasm. Although every sentence was to thank Boss Xu, no one really thanked him. From the beginning to the end, they regarded Xu Xiao as a rich and stupid master. Xu Xiao is Asian and Chinese, so they don't have any sense of awe.

They had completely forgotten how Xu Xiao raised Kwame Brown, whom they regarded as trash, and now they only knew that now, they were about to win the cup again.

"They're really too much, why should they say that about you? It's clear that you helped them, but they don't appreciate it at all." Yilin said indignantly.

"It can't be helped, this is not China, we are excluded here." Xu Xiao began to comfort her.

"Then a big boss like you is like this, how can we survive here in the future." Yilin began to say sadly again.

"Haha, everyone has their own way of life, you have your own way of life, and a big boss like me also has the distress of being a boss, and also needs to face such pressure and problems, people, there will always be various things in life. Nine out of ten things don’t go as planned, that’s normal.”

"Then in the face of such ridicule, you really have nothing to do?"

"Haha, there is an old saying in China, there is reincarnation in the law of heaven, and if the heavens spare no one, it's not that they will not report. The time has not come. If you don't learn to forbear now, how can you show your might in the future? Don't worry, I will let them know in three years at most. , How stupid it is to mock me in public today." Xu Xiao smiled, and when he said these words in the most flat tone, no one knew that a storm had already set off in his heart.

I have written down this grudge, and I hope that next time, you will be as generous as me.

Kobe is also educating James in his own way on the court. At this point in time, Kobe does not regard James as a player of his level at all. In Kobe's view, James is not even as big a threat to him as Tracy McGrady. While talking and laughing, I also need to give James a little encouragement.

This also buried the determination in James' heart to overthrow Kobe. In the future, I will let you see what brother basketball is.

With the Lakers ending the game with a big score of 109 to 87, it also announced that this round of the series has officially lost its suspense.

In the second game, James scored 35 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Although it seems very luxurious statistics, under the strict defense of Odom and Garnett, there were 6 turnovers and only 24 of 10 shots. Less than 13%, and in the fourth quarter when the suspense was lost, James scored [-] points, and the Lakers naturally won the game at home.

In the third game, the Cavaliers made three-pointers and made 22 of 13 shots. In that era, the number of shots and shooting percentage in this game was absolutely top level. Damon Jones and Gibson made a total of 8 three-pointers. Richius seems to have let go of his injuries and scored 15 points and 4 steals, but the main player James often made 17 of 5 shots and only had 16 points and 11 assists. In the end, but still failed to win a victory from the mighty Lakers.

107 to 101, the Lakers won the match point 3-0, and the first championship in the post-O'Neal era will be close at hand. At this time, O'Neal should pray in his heart, a miracle will happen, right? Or he parachutes into Cleveland.

But now even if he landed in Cleveland, he couldn't stop the Cavaliers' decline. In the end, there was no miracle. After the third game was bloody and he still couldn't defend the home court, the fourth game was like a blown ball, and he was beaten by the Lakers. The score was 18-0. In the end, the Lakers did not make a heavy hand. They saved a bit of face for the Cavaliers. They defeated the Cavaliers 113-91 and won the first championship of the Kobe era. This is also Garnett's first championship. champion.

Garnett couldn't help crying on his knees when he won the championship trophy. The grievances of Minnesota guarding for 11 years were vented at this moment, and this championship was bought by him with his own strength, and it was worth it. He averaged 20.8 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, and averaged 21.5 points and 12.8 rebounds per game in the finals, keeping pace with Kobe. Both of them are the most important people for the Lakers, but Garnett is different from O'Neal. Make sacrifices and compromises.

In the end, the mvp was given to Kobe, who averaged 26 points per game, and he also won the first finals fmvp in his life.

And in the post-match interview, although Garnett thanked Xu Xiao sincerely from the bottom of his heart, these words were tinged with irony in the ears of others, but fortunately Xu Xiao was used to it. , now whoever speaks has to cue him.

"That's good, put some pressure on yourself, if you don't get the team in order as soon as possible, then you may be a joke for the rest of your life." Xu Xiao said secretly while watching the report.

The 06-07 season ended in this way, and the next most important thing is the draft, and before that, we need to release some trading messages.

There was sometimes an uproar when the teams heard that the Timberwolves were going to trade Kwame Brown.

"This Xu Xiao is a real prodigal. Will he understand that the insider he has finally cultivated is going to be given away like this?" The Los Angeles media were the first to fire.

Xu Xiao also expected it a long time ago. They already knew what level Kwame Brown is now, and it can be regarded as the upper level of the league. But as long as Kwame Brown keeps collecting statistics on bad teams, then in the hearts of fans, they have made a fortune. It’s a very lucrative deal, and Oden will definitely compress Brown’s time and data. As long as Brown is with Oden, his data will inevitably drop. At that time, no one will ask why the Lakers didn’t train Kwame in the first place. Brown?

Their calculations were quite satisfactory, but they didn't expect Xu Xiao to really dare to make a deal. After thinking for a long time, they couldn't figure it out. Kwame Brown has already cultivated a good outside shot, and his partner Oden should be very suitable. Why not Brown? How about keeping a Milicic who missed the shot?

Van Gundy, who just got out of class, answered the questions of the Lakers and at the same time he did not forget to denounce the Timberwolves management as a pig. He said in front of the media: "It is the most stupid way to make an appointment for Milicic in advance. Knowing that there will be Oden this year, Horford, Noah and many other young and high-quality insiders chose to make an appointment for such a dispensable parallel import that can be picked up at any time. It can be seen how blind the management is. Because of such a contract, his value plummeted. , That’s why they are now caught in a dilemma, they won the No. [-] pick, but they have to send away the best player in the team, the most suitable player for the No. [-] pick, and also the player they have worked hard to cultivate. It’s really ridiculous.”

Little Van Gundy's words awakened many people, and yes, Milicic will not be able to exchange for any high-quality assets if he wants to trade.

Cole, who was the general manager of the Suns at the time, also said in a strange way: "I can't do such a stupid thing. After all, I came from a professional background and got to where I am today."

To these two people, Xu Xiao doesn’t want to talk to them at all. A little Van Gundy, I’ve already tried my best to help the Rockets. I’m giving you an upgraded version of Padgett for nothing. Cook, you made up for your weakest position [-] and [-] again. Don’t blame me if you can’t pass the first round.

In addition, Cole is too lazy to talk about it. When you trade for O'Neal later, you can directly end the sun's brilliant ball. At that time, you can show off your career again.

As for why Milicic was chosen between Brown and Milicic, the value of the transaction is one aspect, and there is another aspect.

Although Brown has the shooting level of Wang Zhizhi, Brown himself is a center, his own preference is center, and his playing habits are also centers, so it may not be a good match for him to partner with Oden, and he still has one year left on his contract. At the current level, a big one will definitely be booked when it expires next year, and the Timberwolves will hit the playoffs next year. The result may be that Milicic and Brown will be lost in vain, and they will not get any valuable returns. Xu Xiao has long understood the truth of making high-flying moves.

And besides, let's talk about Milicic, is he really as bad as people say?Obviously not, in Xu Xiao's eyes, Milicic's talent is higher than Kwame Brown's.

Looking back at his draft report, he has a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 14 meters. He has excellent athletic ability. Has good movement and control ability, and excellent touch, can roam in the positions of center forward and forward, and can move inside and outside with flexible footwork. Recall, who was the last European big man who could have such an evaluation?

"Pau Gasol"

Yes, Milicic has a talent that is not weaker than Gasol, but everything changed after entering the NBA. The genius who was completely ruined by Larry Brown, plus he is too young for the NBA or the United States, It's a bit uncomfortable, and it also ruined his mobility by making him gain weight.

When he first entered the league, he weighed less than 109kg and was less than 110kg. Four years in the Pistons and Magic forced him to gain weight but 124kg. In addition, after coming to the NBA, his shooting was unstable and he did not develop his finishing ability, which led to his current basket shooting. It's outrageous, an inside shot rate is less than [-]%, not only did not improve various skills, but because of the lack of game experience and the constant scolding by the coach, his various skills have regressed, his footwork, passing and shooting skills have all improved. a huge setback.

But the past few years in the NBA have not been fruitless. At least Milicic's defense and frame protection are still the top in the league. Blocking shots has always been his strong point. Last season, Xu Xiao gave him enough confidence and encouragement. Coupled with the good atmosphere in the team, it not only made him feel at home, but also allowed him to slowly regain some of the skills he had when he was an 18-year-old rookie. His footwork, shooting, passing and other skills have also returned to the rookie level. And he is not yet 22 years old, there is definitely room for improvement.

Last season, his averages of 9.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.8 blocks per game have reached the standard of the league's qualified insiders, but his shooting percentage is a bit low, only 46%. Xiao is not worried, he believes that Milicic can be trained, even if he can't, he still has Korver's star card, if not, give him Korver's card, the best pitcher in the league.

Besides, Milicic really can't match Oden?Actually no, Milicic once partnered with "Warcraft" Howard when he was in the Magic, and the effect was not bad.

Under the instruction of Xu Xiao last season, Milicic used the fourth position in many tactics of the Timberwolves. Kwame Brown was the center forward of the team. My feeling is that Kwame Brown is the fourth position.

As long as Milicic loses weight to around 115-118 next season and develops his shooting, he will be the team's stable fourth position.

I have to say that Xu Xiao's move has deceived many people, and even those who understand football have been deceived by Xu Xiao. Except for diehard fans, they can't sleep with a microscope to see a bad team.
