The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

With Outlaw's three-pointer, the real Staples fell silent.

The first to cheer was Xu Xiao in the auditorium. Knowing that Xu Xiao was laughing loudly in the auditorium, people noticed that this "benefactor" who had been called Los Angeles before also came to the game today.

The Timberwolves players have come over and formed a group, hugging Outlaw and wantonly celebrating this hard-won victory.

No one could have imagined that they would beat the league's No. 30 Los Angeles Lakers, and no one would have expected that this little-known kid would decide the fate of the game. Only the Timberwolves knew the difficulties and hardships. From the beginning of the season to the present , I have played nearly [-] games, and I was very aggrieved every game, and I couldn't exert my strength, and finally released it in this game.

Casey in front of the TV also stood up excitedly. Although he lost the bet, for a coach like him who loves basketball and longs for victory, there is nothing more worthy of celebration than victory.

And Kobe also found Roy with grace and sent his blessings. Although this was only a regular season, Roy also won Kobe's approval with his performance. He scored 32 against Kobe in the game. Quasi-triple-double data with 6 rebounds and 9 assists, and 2 points in a row when the team was in a desperate situation in the last 10 minutes, helped the team stabilize the situation, and assisted Outlaw with a beautiful long pass Hitting the lore three-pointer, it can be said that Roy's performance this time is not inferior to Kobe who scored 34 points.

"Your team is really good. I can't even think about winning against the Lakers." Yilin joked to Xu Xiao. She also knew that Xu Xiao was in a state of excitement at this time, so she told him Can't hear anything.

And Xu Xiao looked at her first, then took her hand and left quickly.

"What are you doing, where are you taking me?" Yilin who was held back asked a little at a loss. No boy had ever held her hand since she was a child.

"Of course, let's get out of here quickly, or we'll be surrounded by reporters soon, let's find a place to celebrate."

As Xu Xiao expected, not long after the game ended, a large number of reporters searched for Xu Xiao in the field. The reason is very simple, that is, from the Timberwolves' coaches to players, everyone is boasting about Xu Xiao's magic, especially the temporary The assistant coach also revealed to the reporters that Xu Xiao made all the game plans for this game. From the very beginning of the game, he was a VIP spectator and only proceeded according to Xu Xiao's plan.

Such a statement aroused the curiosity of the reporters even more. They are becoming more and more curious about Xu Xiao now. What kind of person is he? He can predict the direction of the entire game before the start of the game, control the team at the bottom of the league in the audience and win the team at the top of the league, what a terrifying ability, if he Going to be the coach of a strong team with enough strong players is simply a nightmare for other teams.

But now Xu Xiao doesn't want to be a full-time coach, because he just defeated the Lakers, and the system responded again.

The first time you beat the league's No. 3000 team, you will be rewarded with [-] system coins. At the same time, the system will be upgraded from the second level to the third level, unlocking the A-level star pool. The A-level star pool is not comparable to the B-level. There are some players who have been selected to the All-Stars many times, which can be said to be a qualitative improvement.

Xu Xiao didn't even think about it, and came directly to a wave of [-] consecutive draws. There were no high-quality goods in ten consecutive draws. There should be a few high-quality products in [-] consecutive draws. It has been rewarding.

Three player health cards, two player character cards, two player cards, and three special skill cards. Xu Xiao didn't dare to use this special skill card casually. Thinking about the last time Xu Xiao had some kidney pain.

But what made Xu Xiao happiest were these three player cards. Of these three player cards, two of them were A-level cards, one was a + one was a-, and one was a b card.

Xu Xiao decided to open the b card first, and Avery Bradley appeared randomly. Xu Xiao recalled that this player is a good 3D player. He was also selected to the best defensive team when he was in the Celtics. He has flexible feet. And the defensive awareness is quite good, and he has a good three-pointer, which is also a good card.

Then there are these two a cards, and the b card is so powerful, so wouldn't the a card be going to heaven.

The first a- card was Daluo and Brook Lopez, which is also a good choice, because the star card is rated by the overall honor of the star, and its ability is a combination of the level of the star's entire career. , so Daluo had footsteps at the basket at his peak, developed three-pointers as he got older, and combined his career, he has inside footsteps and outside three-pointers. This is definitely a value-for-money card. .

As for the second a+, Xu Xiao kept his eyes open and looked forward to what kind of star he could get.

With a stare, the star's name appeared directly.

"Manu Ginobili."

"It turned out to be Ginobili." Xu Xiao jumped up excitedly. Needless to say, Ginobili is not only a player in the international arena, but also a player who made Popovich compromise. His breakthroughs, shooting, and more importantly, his creativity, unparalleled creativity, that is the real visual enjoyment.

He wants to keep Ginobili's card. He has already thought of who to give it to, but it's not the time yet.

This time the lottery was a complete victory, and when Xu Xiao was immersed in the joy of drawing cards, a voice pulled him back to reality.

"Boss Xu, are you okay?" Xu Xiao came to his senses only to find that Casey had come to his office.

"Oh, of course Coach Casey, I just remembered some happy things, what's the matter, Coach Casey?"

"It's no big deal. I came to apologize to you. My rudeness offended you before. Now it seems that you are right. I was a little self-righteous before. I want to apologize to you for my rudeness. About the ball The future direction of the team is up to you.”

Xu Xiao looked at the real middle-aged man in front of him, and he didn't blame him at all. He knew that Casey was also a good coach, only he had his ideas, and his tactical level is not enough now. He will be with Carlisle in the future After studying for two years, he will become the best coach at that time, but the stubborn problem may not be changed.

"Coach Casey, you don't have to apologize. I know you are an excellent and professional coach. We still need your help. We still have a long way to go. At least this season, we can do more. Okay, Coach Casey?"

Casey also nodded, Xu Xiao signaled that he could continue his work, and Casey left without hesitation and returned to his post.

The Timberwolves beat the Lakers 110-109 in an upset. The news of ending the 13-game losing streak swept through the NBA in an instant. Many people were watching the jokes of the Lakers. After all, the Lakers are still too strong now. Everyone hopes that they can lose two more games , especially being defeated by a team like the Timberwolves that is not only the bottom of the league, but also ridiculed by everyone as a joke, this also makes the Lakers even more embarrassing.

However, the Lakers still forcefully explained that this is just a regular season, and it is not worth paying attention to. At the same time, it once again proves that there are no underdogs in the NBA.

After winning the Lakers, Xu Xiao also agreed to their request to indulge in Los Angeles. Boss Xu directly spent 300 million US dollars to pay for the team's relaxation.

But after relaxing, the Timberwolves were a little out of shape, and lost the next game to the weak king, which made Xu Xiao furious again, and directly canceled the vacation and changed it to training.

Halfway through the season, the Timberwolves also achieved some victories, but they still ranked at the bottom of the league with 9 wins and 32 losses. Yi, Oden is also slowly adapting to the rhythm of the NBA. Although his offensive finishing ability is better than the defensive foul problem still exists, it is undeniable that Oden's footwork at the basket is showing its prominence. Rebounds have also become the capital for him to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Before the All-Star Game, the Timberwolves had a record of 13 wins and 36 losses, surpassing the Heat and tying the Sonics to rank 28th in the league.

This year's All-Star is in New Orleans. This should have been Roy's first All-Star, but because the Timberwolves dug too many holes in the early stage and gave Roy a chance. It caused Roy to lose the All-Star selection, and it was the Rockets' Tracy McGrady who replaced him.

Because Yao Ming is no longer plagued by injuries, the chain reaction has reduced McGrady's pressure a lot. This has also kept McGrady healthy. The 4th position made up the pressure on Dayao. Although there is no Landry, Millsap's defense and shooting are what the Rockets need.

Today's Rockets are also ranked second in the Western Conference, leading the Hornets in third place with two full wins. From this point of view, Dayao's best lineup is basically stable.

Everyone in the All-Star Game also plays their own games. Compared with the All-Star Game, what deserves more attention is the few deals that are approaching the trade deadline. The most important one is O’Neal’s Journey to the West. O'Neill dismantled the system he relied on for survival. Although many people now seem to think that this is the sun making up for his shortcomings, Xu Xiao knows that doing so is tantamount to learning to walk in Handan, not only losing everything he is good at , other people's systems have not learned.

In addition, the Mavericks traded for Kidd, the future champion guard, the Cavaliers and the Bulls also made a deal with the Sonics. The Cavaliers got Ben Wallace, Szczerbiak, West and others to find help for the emperor. A few people have passed their peak, or they have no strength. If they are younger Ben Wallace + Szczerbiak at his peak, then the Cavaliers really have the strength to break out of the East. Unfortunately, both of them are now It is semi-retired.

The Rockets also made a buzzer trade. In order not to lose Bunch Wells in vain during the offseason, they simply used Wells as a bargaining chip in the middle of the season, and by the way solved the garbage contract Mike James exchanged from the Hornets The former bench bandit Bobby Jackson, this kind of transaction allowed the Rockets to successfully avoid taxes, but it also made McGrady face the embarrassing dilemma of having no substitute in the playoffs. Richie and Francis come to play the second position.

Xu Xiao spread his hands and waited quietly for the end of the season. He didn't need to make any deals. Anyway, his players' market value is not high at present. Players with high market value such as Roy, Xu Xiao Xiao also doesn't talk to you at all. Xu Xiao was training for the purpose of trying to win the No. [-] lottery. Now the Timberwolves' point guard is a big problem.

Whether it is Brooks or Arroyo, this is not the level that a strong team should have. If you want to make it to the playoffs next season, you must find a good point guard for the team. Now it is impossible to count on players to airdrop Yes, so Xu Xiao set his sights on this draft. If the No. [-] pick can be selected, then the Timberwolves can take Rose away directly.

With Rose's Timberwolves, it won't be a big problem to make it to the playoffs next season.

But before that, the Timberwolves need to upgrade their players and try to sell them at a good price in the summer market.

Xu Xiao first set his sights on Darius Miles, the former genius Tanhua, although he was given five years of health, but now this Tanhua still relies on instinct to play, and the technical level has not improved much. He was given a chance, but he still averaged only 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. He promised Xu Xiao to develop three-pointers, but now the three-pointer's shooting rate of more than 20.00% is really unbearable to look at.

And the most troublesome thing is not only this, but also his unruly personality, the flaw of a typical high school player, he doesn't like to play tactics, he doesn't obey his control, he spends money and drinks, so Miles Xu Xiao must be the first to deal with it, but he still has a contract of 2 million for 1800 years in the future, which makes Xu Xiao very headache.

Forced to helplessness, Xu Xiao could only use a character card for him first. Originally, Xu Xiao wanted to keep this character card. It's Beasley's, but in order to deal with Miles quickly, Xu Xiao decided to give Miles a try first to see the effect.

After using it, Miles' personality changed unconsciously, and Miles began to work hard and self-discipline. Since then, Miles has been the first person to come to the training ground every day, although Miles still Going out with friends, but I have become more relaxed. I don’t touch anything related to drugs, and I don’t participate in parties that delay games or training.

This change also made him more comfortable on the court. He was no longer as loose as before. He became fierce on the court and began to have a desire to win. More importantly, after his disdainful efforts off the court, he The three-pointer finally became reliable. Although he is not at the top of the league, he has at least a close to [-]% hit rate. Now at least he is not the one who was emptied by three meters.
