The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

The second half of the game began, and the two sides still continued the starting lineup.

But the Timberwolves knew at the beginning that they had given the ball to Roy and let Roy organize it.

"Branton, I want to try, can you give me a chance?" Milicic whispered in Roy's ear, after listening to Xu Xiao's words, he also made up his mind, listen to Xu Xiao once, Disobeying the coach's order, he also knew that this was his last chance. If he failed again this time, he would give up completely and become a blue-collar worker instead.

"Of course Darko, do what you want." Roy is also very charismatic, and while dribbling the ball across the half court, he said to Milicic:

"Remember that tactic I played with Brown last year?"

"Yes, I remember."

"Okay, let's do it again next time, this time you play Brown, you can do what he can do." Roy encouraged.

Then the two started a pick-and-roll at 45° on the left side. Roy compared a tactic with Arroyo. The latter immediately understood the tactic. He was also familiar with this tactic.

Then Roy broke through with the ball, and Milicic ran from 45 degrees on the left to 45 degrees on the right.

"Sure enough, he listened to Xu Xiao's words. This is a tactic for Brown. Will he come too?" Off the field, Casey was a little dissatisfied. Will, this is unacceptable to veteran coaches.

"Roy chose to go in with the ball, and the Nuggets are going to shrink their defense. We used this tactic last season, but last season, Brown was behind the three-point line, which can open up space for Roy, but now this The position was changed to Milicic, so he can only rely on Roy's personal ability, this teammate really makes the game more difficult for him..."

Before the commentary was finished, Roy passed it on.

"Oh no, what are you passing, go hard Brandon, you pass to Milicic, what can he do, what can he do in that position, can he still shoot three-pointers?"

"Oh wait, he really wants to shoot a three-pointer, and a guy who can't even shoot a mid-range shot is going to shoot a three-pointer?"

And Milicic didn't hesitate, knowing that this was his last chance. If he didn't grasp the goal, he would be replaced because he violated the coach's will, and he would start his career as a blue-collar substitute in the future, but he Not reconciled, in order to let his mother and younger brother live a good life, he practiced every day in the basketball hall bombarded by artillery fire. He finally became the favorite of the people in the eyes of the people and entered the NBA as he wished, but he was beaten by Larry Brown do devastation.

Now it is hard to meet a boss who believes in him, is willing to give him a chance, and is willing to accompany him to train and grow, as well as a team that trusts him. He doesn't want to live up to this trust, and he doesn't want to waste his hard work this month. Just on this ball, go for it.

Milicic raised his hand and scored a three-pointer. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and made a steady hit.

After the goal, Milicic was so excited that he roared at the audience like a lore. This is the anger he has been accumulating for so many years, and it is finally released at this moment.

After the goal, Milicic seemed to have found the key to open the door. First, he gave Iverson a big cap on the defensive end, and then, looking back, he made another three-pointer. Kenyon Martin was a little dumbfounded. The point difference came to two points, and the next round had to be thrown to defend, but the talent in Milicic seemed to be awakened, and a hit was given to Miles who made an air cut. The latter dunked successfully and the score chased. flat.

Although Anthony stumbled and scored two points in the next round, Milicic still stood outside the three-point line and was ready to shoot.

"It's okay bro, just vote for me and grab it for you." Oden on the inside also shouted to Milicic. He didn't rush to get the ball for singles after the pressure on the inside eased, but gave the opportunity to Milicic who was feeling hot. .

This time Milicic made another shot, and Martin stepped forward to interfere with Milicic, but without Martin's restraint in the interior, Camby couldn't hold Oden down. Oden showed his physical talent directly, grabbing He hit the offensive rebound, then took off directly and dunked successfully.The two sides came to a 52 tie again.

The commentator was dumbfounded by this scene, and he didn't comment for a long time. Knowing that Milicic hit another three-pointer in the next round, he squeezed out a sentence.

"The Timberwolves can come up with some surprises every year."

Then the Timberwolves' offense became much smoother. With the support of Milicic's firepower from the outside, Oden no longer needed to face double-teams inside. He was still confident against Camby. After all, physical talent can be crushed, even if the technique is slightly rough, it doesn't affect it.

At the end of the three quarters, the Nuggets only led by two points 75 to 73. This is because jr hit three consecutive three-pointers to barely have the advantage.

In the fourth quarter, it could be seen that the Nuggets really wanted to win. They replaced Kleiza, let go of Miles, who was incapable of three-pointers on the offensive end, and continued to double-team Oden inside.

But I don't know if the three-pointer opened up Milicic's talent box, and that beautiful pass also began to appear. A wonderful pass to Miles, and Hyde who scored the baseline non-stop after Miles received the ball. The latter also made a decisive three-pointer.

Then the Timberwolves played more and more smoothly, and the Nuggets' insiders Martin and Camby couldn't hold back. Last year's opener was because they underestimated the enemy and became Kwame Brown's background board. If they become Milicic's background board this year But it's too shameful, and head coach George Karl has the same idea.

The latter's face was gloomy, and during a dead ball, he called Camby to the sidelines and whispered a few words in his ear. Although he didn't know what to say or what to plot, this old man still had a lot of tricks.

In the next round, when Camby was fighting for the rebound with Oden, he made an obvious effort. When Oden took off at the highest point, he pointed an elbow at the waist, which directly brought a danger to Oden. Extremely malicious foul, Xu Xiao understood at this moment, it was this old guy who couldn't beat Curry in the playoffs and asked Iguodala to abolish Curry. Let's get started.

Everyone knows Oden's physical condition, he is a famous glass man, and this time Karl is going to smash the glass man completely. Fortunately, with the protection of Xu Xiao's health card, Oden stood up unscathed, but the stands Xu Xiao on the Internet is also very angry. This means that he has his own health card. If he doesn't have his own cheat, just now, Oden's career may be ruined.

This kind of action should not appear in the game.

Even the end of the scene was shamed for Camby's undervalued behavior.

But Carl didn't feel ashamed at all when he saw it. Instead, he saw Oden standing up unscathed, while Camby was directly expelled for a second-level flagrant foul and was furious. He was still complaining to the referee and arguing about Oden's It was played.

"This old guy is really hateful. The player's career is only a few years. Isn't this a matter of killing people's jobs? No wonder you lost your job in the end. The players didn't think well of you." There was nothing I could do about it, I could only curse secretly in my heart,

The game continued, and Oden had to go back off the field because of his 5 fouls. Milicic and Swift, two recognized "parallel importers" on the field, gave people a bright feeling. Two high-IQ players guide the game during the game, making the team run more smoothly. Whether it is offense or defense, the Timberwolves give people a bright feeling, which also liberates Roy. He scored 17 points in the last quarter and 24 points in the game.

Milicic's sudden three-pointer in the second half of the game, and Swift's sudden enlightenment all laid the groundwork for this game's victory. Milicic scored 5 points and 4 rebounds in 17 of 14 three-pointers. Scored 7 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. The champion Lang Oden did not perform well in the first game. He only made 11 of 4 shots and scored 9 points and 8 rebounds. 6 fouls, graduated and left.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets 109 to 105 and won their own good start.

The Timberwolves, whom people looked down upon, once again slapped everyone in the face and won the Nuggets with two guns. At this time, Xu Xiao had already begun to wonder whether he should change his plan this season and hit the playoffs.

But his fantasy was quickly shattered. For a while, the Timberwolves seemed to have something wrong, and the Timberwolves' game became very strange.

Obviously the first game has proved that the ball is given to Roy, the Timberwolves can play a smooth attack, and Milicic also showed his ability to respond. Although Oden's skills are a little rough, his physical talent is completely acceptable, but After the first game, the Timberwolves did not show these characteristics at all in the subsequent games.

In the following games, it was like training Oden hard. The game was very rigid and rigid. The ball was given to Oden to goug inside, completely exposing Oden's immature shortcomings to everyone's vision. Milli Sic has turned into a large turret, like a 3D player in the fourth position. Roy has become a scorer, a pure off-ball scorer, catches pots every game, plays singles, and can't play at all Due to his strong outlook on the overall situation, the ball is all concentrated in the hands of Arroyo and Brooks, two people who have little organizational ability.

Therefore, the Timberwolves played the bottom record of 3 wins and 24 losses at the beginning of the league. Xu Xiao, who had just developed Milicic's offensive ability this year and had just improved his reputation, was pushed to the forefront again. In 27 long games, he averaged only 7.9 points, 6 points and 4 rebounds per game. As a big center, he averaged 45.4 field goal percentages per game. Not to mention his rough skills, his foul ability is quite explosive. He averaged close to 4 fouls per game, in 11 games. 6 offenders left the field, which once made Oden a joke in the league.

It also pushed Oden to the forefront and was questioned as a parallel importer. You must know that before Oden entered the NBA, he was blown to the sky. What is the combination of Duncan and Russell, the next dominant insider, and now he is playing like this , It was really unreasonable, so the overwhelming abuse came.

Various news headlines also began, such as "Olowokandi II", "the veritable parallel import champion", "the most overrated rookie in history".

Whether it is fans or the media, in this cruel league, they will not wait patiently for you to grow up, just to vent their grievances, or to watch the fun with a cold eye. As for your future, it’s okay to apologize. After all, this is the ancient and unchanging principle of competitive sports. Xu Xiao still agrees with this, but what makes him speechless is that this can also drive him.

"Let go of the top picks trained and choose a new top pick from parallel imports. The Timberwolves owner's honey operation is speechless. What is the future of the Timberwolves is worrying."

Seeing this news, Xu Xiao wanted to curse, you are not a Timberwolves fan, you are so worried, and on the other side of the training field.

"It's okay brother, you can practice with our boss during the offseason. What you have experienced is far worse than mine. If I can be trained by our boss, then you must be fine." During training, Milicic saw Oden, who was feeling a little depressed, and hurried forward to comfort him. After all, he understands this kind of pain best.

"Yeah, Greg, look at the people on our team. Except for Brandon, who was personally selected by the boss, almost everyone else is not favored. Kwame Brown, who was in your position last year, who is not tall? The tall one came in, fell down hard, and was treated as a joke, but you see who else would laugh at Kwame now, they are all vying to get a big contract, so Darko is right, follow Our boss has practiced hard, and he will definitely be able to hit the face. I doubt that the boss has magic, and now I feel that I play a lot more clearly."

"That's really congratulations, Slomeier." Swift just wanted to say nothing, but turned around and saw Xu Xiao with a smirk.

"Oh boss, when did you come?"

"I've been here since you guys weren't training."

Swift blushed and immediately said, "We're going to practice now."

Xu Xiao shook his head, although he changed his golf quotient, but his character is still the same, still lazy, if Swift can not be so lazy, and be as active as McGee, then even with his physical talent, this season will not end Then there is no ball to play.

Xu Xiao came to the training ground because the recent record of the Timberwolves was a bit abnormal, and he was afraid that there would be some disharmonious voices internally, so he came to the training ground to have a look, but when he saw that everyone was having a good time, Xu Xiao was relieved down.

"It seems that we still need to discuss the next direction with the coach." Xu Xiao thought.

"Coach Casey, is it convenient to take a step to talk?" Casey's face didn't look very good, but he still didn't reject Xu Xiao.

"Coach Casey, I know that as a layman, I shouldn't say this, but I feel that something has gone wrong in our recent games. I feel that our players are very capable, but they have not been fully utilized. ..."

"I think you are right, Mr. Xu Xiao." Casey interrupted Xu Xiao's conversation.

"Huh?" Just when Xu Xiao was a little puzzled, Casey said

"You are indeed a layman, and you really shouldn't say that." Casey said with some dissatisfaction.

"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us, Coach Casey." Sensing that Casey was in a bad mood, Xu Xiao quickly explained.

"No boss, we didn't misunderstand, but to be honest, you are indeed a layman. Maybe you are a very good businessman in the mall, but that doesn't mean you can achieve success on the basketball court."

Casey seemed to be a little emotional, and said excitedly:

"Do you think our players didn't show their strength because I restricted their performance? No, their strength is far from reaching the standard. Do you think my tactics are wrong? But who asked me to train the champion in the new season? What about playing for the No. [-] pick? Isn’t our lineup bad enough? Last season we managed to develop Kwame Brown, but in the end the offseason was just given away for nothing? Millsap also gave away your fellow teammates as teammates for nothing , Have you considered this team? Who is the next player to be sent to the fellow? Roy or Milicic?"

At this moment, Kathy finally couldn't bear it anymore, and confided her inner dissatisfaction to Xu Xiao.
