The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

January 1st is also the day that Xu Xiao and Yi Lin agreed. Since the last time they parted, the two haven't seen each other. They just exchange text messages and occasionally make two video calls, so for this day , Xu Xiao is still looking forward to it.

But Xu Xiao was not in a hurry to go to Los Angeles for a date, because he had to be with the team, and they had to discuss some tactical details, and after landing, they had to go to the training hall as soon as possible, and then went to practice the new team. Tactics, after all, this tactic is completely different from their previous tactics, it is a completely different thing, and everyone needs to be more familiar with it.

Xu Xiao knew that this was not the time when he was being influenced by the love of his children. He really wanted to win this competition, and there would inevitably be another burst of ridicule in Los Angeles. His embarrassment, at least for now, when he has no strength, he doesn't want to be treated as a laughing stock. He is also a big boss, a successor of a top five companies in the world. What does it look like to be laughed at by this group of people? .

Now that I'm here this time, I have to vent my anger for myself and prove it for myself. At the same time, I don't want to lose in front of Yilin. Sometimes, a man's desire to win is so strong.

Yilin actually didn't really want to come, because he is not a Lakers fan, and he even doesn't like the Lakers, and it may have something to do with Kobe. She just doesn't like Kobe, because Kobe was young and frivolous. In 03, he did some wrong things. , which makes some girls feel disgusted, anyway, Yilin doesn't like it, he just likes the smooth and smooth basketball game, and doesn't like to watch a single person there.

So Yilin came here this time to meet Xu Xiao. As for the competition, that is not her concern. If she loses, she loses. Anyway, she is young and her strength is weaker than yours. Losing is normal. If she can win You, then you are ashamed.

Hearing that Yilin would go to the Lakers game, Halson was overjoyed. Halson had confessed his love to Yilin more than once, but was rejected. If it wasn't because his father hadn't gained a firm foothold in the Lakers, he would He wanted to be strong, and that girl had never dared to treat him like this before.

Halson also knew that Erin also liked basketball, so he invited him to watch the Lakers game at Staples many times, but Erin refused, which made Halson very depressed.

She probably doesn't know how difficult it is to get tickets for the Lakers now. The Lakers are now the league's No. No, this is really out of my mind, how many fans have to cry to death, this time I heard that Yilin is going to watch a game, which made Halson very happy, so he hurried to his father and asked for two tickets Well, this time he only wanted two, just because he was afraid that someone would disturb them watching the game. The two of them were together, and when the time came, he would arrange a couple kiss event at the scene, so he won it.

This is also the fan culture of the nba. The live camera will show couples, and the couple will show their love in front of the camera and choose to kiss. Halson has already arranged everything. When he took the ticket to find Yilin, Yilin Lin told him directly that she won't bother you after she bought the ticket herself, which made Halson very embarrassed.

However, Halson did not give up. In his opinion, Yilin's family background is relatively average, and she usually saves money on food and expenses. Therefore, if Yilin wants to buy it, she will buy a cheaper one, which will be in a lower position, and she will hold it when the time comes. This front ticket is then exchanged with others, and if it is not possible, it is promised to give Kobe's signature. Most of the people sitting in the back are not high-ranking officials.

In Halson's subconscious mind, he has decided that Yilin is definitely not in the front position. Otherwise, why did he choose to buy the game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves? The game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves is the cheapest of all the tickets for the Lakers. What is there to watch in a match against the league?Those who come are generally not diehard Lakers, or those who can’t afford or can’t buy high-end game tickets. Otherwise, why don’t they buy the games between the Lakers and the Celtics, the Spurs and the Rockets?

He didn't know that Xu Xiao asked Kupchak for Yilin's tickets, and it was no problem for Xu Xiao to ask for two Lakers tickets. Kupchak directly arranged Xu Xiao in the best position, saving When the time comes, the camera can't find Xu Xiao's position, and they are still waiting to see Xu Xiao's reaction after the Timberwolves are brutalized by the Lakers.

"Eileen, let's go together. I just happen to drive you off." Halson's seemingly gentlemanly invitation was very low in Yilin's eyes.

"No need, I'll take a taxi by myself." Yilin didn't want to owe him this favor, and when Xu Xiao saw that she had misunderstood her, she didn't give her a chance and took a taxi by herself.

"Damn it, I don't know how to flatter you. I'll see what happens when I get to the arena later." Halson changed his gentlemanly attitude and cursed from behind.

Because Xu Xiao was still doing the final warm-up with the team, he came to the arena early and did not go to pick up Yilin, but Yilin was not angry at all, he knew that Xu Xiao had his own affairs.

When he came to the arena, Xu Xiao had been waiting on his seat for a long time, because the game was about to start, Xu Xiao couldn't stay on the bench all the time, or he would go to the caddy and the field staff to wait. The boss probably felt a bit out of place when he went, so he might as well go to his seat and wait for Yilin.

"You came quite early. I thought you would be late for the Lakers game." Seeing Yilin Xu Xiao felt much calmer. To be honest, although he was very confident during training, he Let him be in this position, watching the game, he was a little bit guilty, after all, the game is alive, the basketball is round, it is possible to play in any way, in case the Lakers feel good today, no matter how they shoot, Kobe is a god , coupled with the strength of the home whistle, they would have to hand in their guns and surrender, so Xu Xiao felt like he was sitting on pins and needles here, but when he saw Yilin, his mood calmed down a lot, and he didn't know why.

"After all, this is your team's game, or your invitation, how can you be late." Yilin smiled sweetly, and Xu Xiao's heart melted. I have to say that even without makeup, Yilin is a proper straight male killer , not to mention that Yilin dressed up carefully today, who can resist it.

"I won't lose too badly in this game, right?" Yilin asked quietly. In fact, she wanted to make this game go to garbage time quickly, so that he could have a good chat with Xu Xiao, but she was afraid of losing Xu Xiao felt unhappy and was not in the mood to chat with her, so he hurriedly added: "It's okay, it's okay to lose, you are still rebuilding."

"Of course not. I dared to come to Staples. How could I be unprepared? Today I will give you a surprise. Today will be a wonderful game. Don't worry, I won't let you down." Xu Xiao vowed Speaking of.

"Oh, really, then I'll wait and see." Although he said so, he was still a little disappointed in his heart.

Yilin is just a basketball lover, not a fanatical star or team fan. In other words, she is not particularly interested in these NBA games. Let her watch a game, why not take her out to play basketball, She is not very professional, and watching games is just a hobby. She just came here hoping to meet Xu Xiao and have a good chat. After all, she still has a good impression of Xu Xiao. Xu Xiao is because she is in a foreign country. Not many people with good feelings.

This is the difference between boys and girls. Girls will dress themselves up for the boys they like, hoping to show their beauty, while boys will dress up the team for the girls they like, hoping to show their strength.

"Hey, where is the head coach of your team?" After listening to the roster announced by the commentator before the game, and hearing that the Timberwolves even the head coach was absent, she couldn't help being a little puzzled. For the game, there is no head coach, so what game is there?

"Don't worry, he's just feeling unwell. I'm the one who arranged the tactics for today's game." Xu Xiao said indifferently.

"You, you sit here, can you still control them remotely?" Yilin thought that Xu Xiao was joking, and she also laughed happily.

"Haha, of course, look, I have prepared a big gift for the Lakers today." After speaking, Xu Xiao's eyes showed a trace of coldness.

The sudden accentuation of the tone made Yilin startled at first, and then she became a little obsessed. She found that Xu Xiao, who was a little cold just now, was also a little fascinating.

Then the commentary began to introduce the lineups of the two sides.

The Lakers are still using the most regular set of starters this season. The guards are Kobe and Fisher, the forward is the tall white pitcher "Ski Man" Radmanovich and Garnett, and the center is Ben "Little Shark" Bynum, who has made rapid progress this season.

The Timberwolves made some adjustments on the back line. Instead of using Arroyo as the regular starter, they used Brooks, a rookie with stronger offensive capabilities, to partner with Roy.

In comparison, Brooks is faster and more aggressive. Although Arroyo is a big killer in the international arena, but when he comes to the NBA, he is obviously not as handy as he is in the international arena. He has no absolute speed and defense. They belong to the middle and lower ranks. Although they have certain organizational skills, they are more dominant in possession of the ball. This conflicts with Xu Xiao's thinking, so Xu Xiao decided to let Arroyo lead the second team when formulating the game plan.

"Let Brooks start, and Fisher won't crush him just because of his body." Sitting in front of the TV, Casey looked disdainful, not just him, everyone dismissed this adjustment, they didn't even think about it The Timberwolves have a chance to win, but they simply think that the Timberwolves want to train newcomers.

At the beginning of the game, Oden took the lead to jump to the ball for the Timberwolves. Brooks passed the ball directly to Roy without hesitation after halftime.

Facing Kobe, Roy watched the situation calmly and calmly. Milicic came out of the three-point line, and Garnett also followed and wandered around the free throw line to ensure that he could go out in the first time. After defending Milicic's three-pointer, he can erect a second line of defense at the free throw line to prevent Roy's breakthrough.

At this point in the season, Milicic's three-point ability has been recognized by the league, and Garnett dare not ignore it, but this defensive position is just right, showing his understanding of defense, but this is fine, as long as the space is opened That's it.

Roy didn't use Milicic's pick-and-roll, and turned to Miles for a pick-and-roll. Because Miles didn't have much shooting ability, Radmanovic didn't defend it. With this little space, Roy did it directly. Hit a three-pointer.

"Hey, this guy doesn't dare to fight Kobe one-on-one. He's so cowardly at such a young age." The audience was not satisfied with this goal, and they didn't seem to care.

The Lakers must have given the first ball to Kobe. Kobe chose the mid-range singles, but it was a pity that he didn't score.

And then, Roy started to play pick-and-roll with Oden. Oden's pick-and-roll quality and speed are top in the league. Roy has a lot more choices when facing Bynum. Although Bynum has good physical fitness , but his brain was not very good, and he was directly deceived by Roy's fake action. While making up the defense, he hit the ground and passed down Oden at the same time, and the latter made another powerful dunk.

At this time, the fans still don't realize that this game may not be too easy.

Kobe’s second attack still failed, and Roy continued to play pick-and-roll with Oden when he came back. This time the Lakers’ defensive rotation started, but Roy still found Brooks who ran to 45 degrees from the baseline, and the latter caught the ball and raised his hand Hit a three-pointer directly.

Although Kobe made a hit for the third time, the Timberwolves' offensive was a bit overwhelming. Roy was trying to pick and roll. This time Garnett came out directly. Seeing Garnett coming, Roy did not hesitate to pass the ball directly to Milicic , because Garnett defended, Milicic's side was naturally empty. As soon as Bynum came out, Milicic immediately passed to Brooks who came out of the bottom line.

Brooks also directly played a pick-and-roll with Milicic. At this time, Bynum could not retreat, so he had to face Brooks. Brooks' speed was an absolute advantage, and he directly accelerated to pass Bynum.

At this time, Bynum, who was being targeted continuously, was already a little angry. He didn't realize that Garnett had actually stepped back to make up the defense. After pulling down Brooks, the referee gave two free throws to save face.

Garnett was quite dissatisfied with the foul. He was obviously in the best defensive position. With Brooks' height, he jumped in to find a cap. This was a pass that could be defended, but he sent a foul and two free throws in vain. So he kept communicating with Bynum.

Brooks made two free throws, and then the Timberwolves still used the pick-and-roll on the offensive end, constantly looking for Bynum and Radmanovich, these two defensive points were relatively weak, although the Lakers began to regain their touch on the offensive end, But still can't suppress the offensive rhythm of the Timberwolves.

After Roy singled out Radmanovich and scored 2+1, the Zen master finally couldn't help calling a timeout.

"That Brooks can only rush forward. No matter how fast he is, the threat of rushing in is not great. As long as we shrink in time, we can understand? Use height to beat speed, that Miles, there is no basket at all, don't worry about him, Andrew , you just watch him, defend the basket, as for that Milicic, he will also make a three-pointer, Rademar, you go to defend Milicic, they only need to pay attention to Roy."

At this time, Master Zen was still patiently explaining to the team members, but at this time Xu Xiao became more relaxed, looking at the situation on the court, it was indeed developing in the direction he expected.
