The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

"Josh, what do you mean? If you feel there is a problem or have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me directly. Why are you talking nonsense in front of the media?"

"Sorry Russell, I want to apologize for my rashness. I'm not targeting you, but I always think we don't need such complicated tactics. Look at the Heat's system, we can definitely apply it, and we will do better than them. better."

"The Heat's system? Are you talking about James' system? I know you are dissatisfied with LeBron, but recognize the current situation, man. This system you mentioned was defeated by us twice. Twice, man, there is no way to fight back. That kind of thing.”

"Russell, I don't want to argue with you, but the fact is that our lineup depth is much better than Miami. They don't have an inside man like Greg or a substitute like Bledsoe. They have Wade, but we have you. Russell, so it’s normal to win against them, no matter what tactics we use, we will win against them, you know Russell.”

"Man, are you crazy? I can understand your feelings, but what we need now is victory."

"Sorry to bother you two."

Just when Josh and Westbrook were arguing, Greg Oden stood up and said:

"I don't like Miami's tactics, and I don't think Bosh and I are the same kind of players. Maybe I'm not as good as him and don't have the honors he has, but I like this way of playing, especially this year."

Seeing Oden stand up and speak, everyone spoke up one after another.

"Josh, listen to me, I love you very much, but I really don't like the Heat's tactical system, oh no, it's LeBron's system." Ibaka responded.

"We defeated them twice, which shows that there is nothing wrong with our methods. What really needs to change is them." Jimmy Butler also stood up and said.

"Listen man, I understand how you're feeling right now, but man listen, we're a team and there's nothing more important than winning, and trust me, you guys have been together for a long time and you're each other. We know each other best and there is no need for us to make changes at this important juncture.”

As the big brother of the team, Caron Butler also stood up and said comfortingly.

At this time Xu Xiao finally couldn't hold it in any longer, stood up and said:

"Josh, I remember I told you on the first day you came here, I will make you a top star, let you be the number one player on the team, and we will work hard for the championship together. Now you see Did I break my promise?"

Josh didn't speak but just lowered his head and listened.

"I didn't break my promise. You are now the top star in the league. We are now the top team in the league. We are on the right path. Now we are only two rounds away from the championship. Are we going to fall here?"

"Tell me Josh, what will you do next?"

"I'm sorry, coach, it's my problem. I will make up for it in the next game. We will still be this year's champion."

Although Josh said so, Xu Xiao still saw the dissatisfaction in Josh's heart. He was eager to prove himself, but due to the special time now, he couldn't do anything excessive, otherwise his career would really be ruined. That's it.

This gave Xu Xiao a headache. He didn't expect that he was building momentum and fighting for the interests of his players, but he didn't expect that he would shoot himself in the foot, which made Josh excessively afraid of bloating.

The most important thing is that Josh is now completely out of his control. He will definitely get out of his contract next summer. He will probably start looking for media for marketing this offseason.

Since I can't keep it, why don't I strike first?

Thinking of this, Xu Xiao's eyes became sharp when he looked at Josh.

Feeling Xu Xiao's change, Josh's expression also calmed down.

Although there may be big moves this offseason, we still have to focus on the next game now.

The next game is still the home court of the Timberwolves. If we can't win this game, it will not be fun if we are beaten 2-0 at our home court.

Not to mention the pressure from the fans and the media, even the pressure within the own team may cause the team to explode in an instant.

And the Spurs are not soft persimmons. If the appearance of Xu Xiao hadn't forced a change in the historical line, the Spurs would have been this year's championship.

Although they have changed their lineup, their backbone is still there. Although GDP is old, it is definitely still capable of fighting. There is also the former scoring champion Tracy McGrady, coupled with their skillful tactical cooperation.

It is also very difficult to win a complete victory at their home court, not to mention that there are still some differences in the team.

Time quickly came to the second game day.

The Timberwolves sit at home and continue to meet the Spurs' challenge.

After winning the last game, the Spurs' overall mental state was very full.

From the beginning of the game, Duncan frequently positioned himself in the paint to beat Ibaka and Oden.

Parker also showed his skillful throwing skills, and the Spurs started with an 11-4 start.

"Josh really still has a grudge. Now the championship is no longer important to him. What he wants is data and honor."

Xu Xiao, who was on the sidelines, looked at Josh on the court and couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

Josh has Paul's skills, not only in terms of movement control, passing and shooting defense, but Paul's off-ball ability is also very good. He is not a ball-handling core in the traditional sense, so Josh and Westbrook are twin engines. tactics can be effective.

But now Josh obviously doesn't want to play without the ball subjectively. As long as he doesn't take the ball, he will stand aside and wait. Only when the ball is in his hands, he will play a few.

The same goes for defense. Parker's ability to throw so unscrupulously has a lot to do with his failure to raise his position after the pick-and-roll. He is obviously trying to be lazy.

Therefore, the Timberwolves allowed their opponent to score 3 points in just 11 minutes. Xu Xiao could not sit still and called a timeout.

"I think back then, I took a fancy to Josh's almost abnormal physical fitness. All he thought about was such a good body. With his cheats, he was invincible. I never expected that Josh's desire for championship and victory It is so low. It seems that in the future, the selection of players cannot be based solely on physical talent. The temperament on the court and the desire to win are also important parts. "

When Xu Xiao looked at Josh again, he had mixed feelings in his heart. If he were to be cruel enough to trade Josh, he would really be reluctant to give up. After all, strikers like Josh are now the star of the league, and they will be even more rare in the future. .

And there are really not many bargaining chips left in the league that can be exchanged for the current Josh. The few bargaining chips that can be exchanged for Josh are not for sale by each team.

Xu Xiao could only shake his head and bring his thoughts back to the game.

"Russell, I need you to take over the game next."
