Chapter 120: Hidden dangers in the new season

"You said you want me to be Ginobili next season?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Ah, he is a superstar. The competition will start in less than a month. I..."

"What's wrong with you? Are you not a human being or he is not a human being? You don't have to believe me when I say you can succeed, but don't question me, idiot."

When Luo Teng heard Xu Xiao's customization, he didn't believe it. After all, he was still somewhat self-aware.

A guard who can't even dribble the ball in the pheasant game, if you ask him to become Ginobili within a month, even northern Myanmar would not dare to say this.

"Stop talking nonsense. In the future team training, you will only participate in tactical training and do not participate in other trainings. Except for eating and sleeping, I will spend the rest of the time in the training hall."

The team's lineup for the new season has basically taken shape. Xu Xiao doesn't like to make trades in the middle of the season. He likes a stable lineup.

In addition, he has his own bugs and can avoid injuries, so as long as the lineup is neat before the game, there really won't be much to strengthen in the mid-term.

Although there were no transactions during this offseason, the Timberwolves also attracted some veterans due to their two consecutive championships, such as the veteran Livingston signed during the offseason.

In his previous life, he was also an important rotation member of the Warriors dynasty. Everyone knows that he has a back-up mid-range and good defense, but no one remembers that he was once a proud man who could fly into the sky and escape from the earth.

It's just that he completely lost his athletic ability due to injuries. This may be like this to others, but to Xu Xiao, he doesn't think so.

After all, he is the one who controls the system. If Livingston can return to the athletic ability he had before the serious injury, plus the skills he has honed over the years due to injuries, then he may not only be at the level of a substitute.

Looking at the increasingly complete lineup, Xu Xiao became more and more relieved.

Although Xu Xiao needs to change his habits this time.

No matter how you look at it, Jr. Smith will definitely have to take action in the middle of the season to stop his losses.

Although he has his own system, he is not a philanthropist and has no obligation to make wedding clothes for others. Xu Xiao's departure of DeRozan this year has been somewhat unexpected.

Still going to the Nuggets with Curry, he will definitely be his big rival in the future.

But Xu Xiao still underestimated the impact of DeRozan's departure.

The biggest impact on this is Oden. Seeing DeRozan get a sky-high contract, Oden is also a little envious.

Now Oden has a championship, but he is still far from people's expectations in terms of honor.

From 07 to now, there have been only two All-Stars, one second team and one third team. Durant, who is in the same period as him, is already a strong contender for mvp.

But Oden also knows that under the current tactical system of the Timberwolves, he can only be used as the third offensive point. With Westbrook and Josh on the outside, he will definitely not gain much tactical status and ball rights.

After seeing DeRozan's choice, Oden also felt a little dissatisfied.

"Greg, what are you doing? Spread the floor, go to the bottom corner, that's your sweet spot."

Josh on the training ground is still directing Oden's movement.

Oden reluctantly walked to the corner, and then saw Josh facing Jimmy's defense and chose to make a pull-up.

Jimmy's fierce defense also caused the basketball to bounce directly. After Zhui Meng grabbed the rebound, he assisted Westbrook to take off and dunk directly.

After dunking, he had to show off his muscles to Josh.

"Just wait and see what I do to you in the next round."

As he spoke, Josh waved to Oden.

"In the next round, let's pick and roll and kill them."

"If I knew your shooting percentage, I shouldn't even go to the corner to make room for you."

Auden said casually.

Josh didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was just a joke, and didn't notice any changes in Oden's mood. However, as the training progressed, the cooperation between the two became increasingly uncomfortable.

"Pick and roll, Greg, did you go to bed while listening to the tactics? What are you doing in the three-second zone?"

"You have been successfully defended by Jimmy and Dream Chasing three times in a row, and you still want to break out from the middle. Even if you look up, there are all misalignments on my side. With your height, you can easily pass the ball through. , let me play inside?"

"You? How do you play? There is Yao Ming under the basket, can you resist him? I am guarded by three players. It's not because your pick-and-roll quality is poor, but you double-team me every time."

Seeing that the argument between the two was becoming more and more abnormal, Westbrook and his assistant coach hurried over to separate the two sides and persuade them.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Xu Xiao.

"What's going on with you two?"

"Hey boss, let me tell you, this guy is a little bloated now. If he wins the championship, he will abandon the tactics he relied on to become famous."

At this time, Josh was not aware of the seriousness of the problem at all. When he saw Xu Xiao coming, he was still smiling playfully and said indifferently.

"I let you talk about your own problems!"

Xu Xiao's voice was suddenly serious, and his aura startled them both. When everyone saw Xu Xiao's expression, they knew that the boss was really angry this time, and he didn't even dare to eat the melon.

"Boss, my question."

At this time, Oden was the first to admit his mistake.

"I was inflated. I wanted more ball rights and tactical status, so during training, I did not run tactics according to the coach's requirements."

Seeing Oden admitting his mistake, Josh quickly expressed his position:

"I didn't train much during this holiday, so my current condition is a bit poor, but don't worry, boss, I will adjust before the start of the season."

Seeing this, Xu Xiao understood that what he was most worried about had appeared. Now the team is full of young players.

Winning the championship too early is a good thing for them, but there will also be this kind of mentality expansion, or the desire for the championship will be reduced and they will instead pursue personal honors.

"I know that both of you are doing it for the good of the team, so let me work hard for our three consecutive championships."

"Josh, in the next period of time, you must quickly regain your form. You are still our backbone."

"Greg, don't worry, your offensive proportion and tactical status will increase next season. This is what I have thought about early on, but I plan to tell you in the preseason about joint training. Since If you are so impatient now, I will tell you in advance."

"After all, after DeRozan is gone, we need more people to step up."

Hearing Xu Xiao holding the water like this, the two of them were no longer embarrassed to say anything more and continued to go back to training.

But Xu Xiao knew that what he had to deal with next was not simple.

After all, under his tactical system, there are many players, so it is difficult to produce good data.

"It seems that jr's transaction has to be put on the agenda again."

Then Xu Xiao took out his cell phone and called Riley again.

"If you want Jr., then I have a condition. As long as you can win, we will trade immediately."
