The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

"Oden tied Garnett with his hands, and the new wolf king killed the old wolf king with his hands."

"The Timberwolves began to wake up after Garnett. What did Garnett's trade bring to the Timberwolves?"

After the Timberwolves beat the Lakers, various similar titles emerged one after another.

Xu Xiao gave the players a day off, and he paid for all the expenses in Los Angeles.

It is said that it is a holiday for the players, but it is actually more like a holiday for himself. He has not come out with Yilin for a long time.

"Congratulations, Boss Xu, you are finally going to prove yourself." Yilin still said sweetly.

"Haha, it's not that I want to prove myself, but these players are more powerful. You know, my vision has always been very accurate." Xu Xiao said a little shyly.

Xu Xiao is usually very good in front of the team members, but for some reason, he feels a little restrained when he is in front of Yilin. He usually does not like to socialize, and he is not good at dealing with the opposite sex. In the basketball world.

"Does my outfit look good?" Yilin asked not so coyly.

"Okay... looks good, oh no, it's so beautiful..." Xu Xiao wanted to say something, but swallowed it again, feeling that these words were so greasy. He was obviously only 23 or 4 years old, how could he be like a middle-aged man? Uncle Nian is the same.

"If it looks good, take a picture for me. I like photography very much."

"Do you like photography?"

"Of course, I like to record the beauty, whether it's the beauty around me or myself. Photography is to keep the beauty, even for a moment." Yilin said, staring at Kazilan's big eyes.

"Then our interests are really similar."

"You like photography too?"

"I like to capture you, oh no, I said I also like to keep your beauty." Xu Xiao smirked, wondering if Yilin understood.

The two went on a trip together in Los Angeles, just like any other couple.

"I'm graduating in one and a half years. Can you help me find an internship place? I don't plan to continue my studies." Yilin asked bluntly.

"Why don't you continue your studies? You have the ability."

"Well, I don't like this major very much. I want to study some things I like while practicing in the future."

"What do you study?" Xu Xiao suddenly thought, after knowing each other for so long, he had never asked Yilin what major she studied.

"I major in material construction, but compared to material construction, I prefer my elective course financial management. I think it's more appropriate for me to manage money." After finishing speaking, Yilin smiled sassyly.

"Then maybe I can help." Xu Xiao thought in his heart: From now on, he can help him manage his finances. "

"Bah bah, where have I been thinking?" Xu Xiao quickly straightened his collar, shook his head to wake himself up.

"Hahaha, that's great, then it's a deal, maybe I can help you manage the team's finances in the future, don't worry, I will never leak, let you use the least money to form the strongest lineup, Then blow up the Lakers and keep crushing the Lakers."

This cute-looking girl speaks carelessly, which made Xu Xiao love while being surprised.

But the happy time is always short-lived. After that, Xu Xiao will go to Cleveland with the team, and then challenge the Houston Rockets back to back, which can be called a devil's schedule.

Before departure, Yilin saw her off in person, and Xu Xiao leaned on her ear and said softly:

"Be careful, my thoughts on you are not pure anymore."

Then he deliberately made a grimace, so that the simple Yilin didn't react immediately, and Xu Xiao ran away.

"This guy, this feeling is getting worse and worse." Yilin pouted and said.

After a short period of happiness, Xu Xiao led his Timberwolves on a new journey to Cleveland, because when they won ten consecutive victories, the system rewarded [-] system coins again, and at the same time completed the upgrade and successfully reached the fourth level , unlocked the S rank.

Xu Xiao saw that he had 7100 starting coins left and his hands started to itch again. This has unlocked the s-level players. If he doesn’t try, how can he be worthy of the humiliation he has endured these years? In the top ten of each position, if Jordan is drawn, it won't be a dominance.

I didn't think too much about it, so I started drawing directly. In addition to the friendly and convincing points, a wave of ten companies also has a special skill card, a star card, and two tactical ability cards. This is the first time I have drawn this thing.

"It's a bit tricky this time, so it means that this player card may be at the S level." Xu Xiao now has a high probability of touching the rules of the system's lottery draw. Generally, when you look at winning, there will be pitfalls. Looking at the loss, it may be a muffled fortune.

Without even thinking about it, Xu Xiao directly opened this star card.

"Congratulations to the host for getting the s-level star, Chris Paul skill card."

"I'm going, it's Paul, the god of point guards!" Xu Xiao jumped up from the bed.

"Super high ball quotient, perfect organization, reasonable offense, integrated offense and defense, seven consecutive one-defense, precise shooting and sharp breakthrough, unyielding character." Paul's advantages quickly appeared in Xu Xiao's in mind.

But Paul is not a perfect person. He also has some shortcomings. The biggest problem may be his physical condition. His height limits many of his abilities. This also causes him not to have the scoring explosive power like Westbrook. He can play one or two at critical moments. The ball, but once the defensive level improves, when Paul is expected to open the situation and score 40 points to save the team, he will efficiently score 20+10 and lose the game.

This is also the reason why Paul has not made it to the Western Conference Finals for many years. Only with a scorer like Harden Booker can he have a chance to reach the Western Conference Finals. This card must be carefully thought out, and it is necessary to find someone who can perfectly cover up Paul's shortcomings, so that the maximum effect of this card can be brought into play.

"It would be great if this card came out sooner. Westbrook would be a good match for this card." Xu Xiao thought, but now that Westbrook has Billups' bonus, he can't use Paul's card. The card can only be kept for now, and see if there can be a person with explosive physical talent and a calm and sunny mind in the future. This may become the next James.

The remaining two cards, Xu Xiao, also plan to open them all. There are quite a few special skill cards, and he doesn't plan to collect too many. As for the tactics card, Xu Xiao has never gotten it, and wants to try it.

Using this tactical card decisively, hundreds of tactics appeared in the system immediately.

"According to the situation of the Cavaliers tomorrow, it is recommended to use these two tactics, and there will be an opportunity for tactical consultation on the spot tomorrow."

Good guy, Xu Xiao looked at the situation in front of him and called him a good guy, I'm still working hard, let's work hard to draw a lottery, when the time comes, just hang up and see who is the opponent.

Xu Xiao marveled at the invincibility of this system, and at the same time scolded himself for wasting it. It would be great to save such a good thing for the playoffs. I don’t know when I will have to wait until I get this kind of thing next time. Look at it like this Well, the rarity of this tactical card is comparable to an s-level star card.

Although it was such a waste of a card, I also got a reminder from the system. There are two types of tactics cards. One is to know the tactics used by the next opponent and provide corresponding countermeasures, and the other is to let oneself learn a certain tactics immediately. , if you guessed right, there is one unopened tactic card left, which should be someone's tactic immediately.

Xu Xiao doesn't plan to open this card for the time being. One reason is that Xu Xiao feels that he has a good understanding of tactics. The other reason is that Xu Xiao feels that other people's tactics may not be suitable for the current Timberwolves. It is not necessarily a good thing for the team to force other people's tactical ideas.

So Xu Xiao kept this card first, as for the remaining special skill cards...

It doesn't matter, it's all open anyway, and it's not too much to open a special skill card.

Xu Xiao understood why the blind box was so popular in the future, it was exciting to drive.

"Congratulations to the host, or a high-quality Japanese maid." In an instant, a sweet-looking Japanese maid appeared in the room.

Pfft...Xu Xiao spit out this saliva directly, what is this, this, I can choose not to, I can't do this to me.

It so happened that Westbrook came to call Xu Xiao to hold a tactical analysis meeting, and then pushed the door open to see the scene in front of him.

"Boss, what are you guys, what?" The Turtle contributed an emoji again, and Xu Xiao didn't have time to explain, so he rushed Westbrook out, and Westbrook showed Nick Young's expression outside the door.

......

"Boss, you can do it. It's pretty fun to play now." When Xu Xiao came to the conference room of the hotel, Ariza made a joke.

"Trevor, because you will be defending LeBron tomorrow, so today I have prepared extra practice for you. You can stay for a while after the meeting." Xu Xiao said lightly.

Now Xu Xiao is having a headache, the system is a trap, just leave, don't go back, now this girl can't go back, she can only stay by her side, how should she explain to Yilin in the future.

Forget it, don't think so much, let's prepare for the next game.

Except for Ariza, who was immersed in his own sorrow, the others listened quite seriously, because neither the inside twin towers could play in this game, especially Oden was suspended for 3 games because of fighting, so the Timberwolves discharged Gasol. With Hayes in the starting lineup.

But people are not as good as God. Although Gasol's frame protection is very good in this game, there is no substitute. After he is off the field, only Hayes and Toliver are left inside. In addition, James has Whistle Bodyguard.

In the end, the Timberwolves still lost the game 103 to 111, ending their 11-game winning streak.

But so far, the road to the rise of the Timberwolves has officially begun.

In the next game against the Rockets, Oden continued to be suspended but Milicic returned, while Artest was absent due to injury on the Rockets side. Yao also had a friendly exchange with Xu Xiao before the game.

Xu Xiao also expressed one of his appeals to Dayao, that is, he hopes to establish his own basketball training camp in China this summer, to help more talented teenagers realize their basketball dreams, and to find new opportunities for Chinese basketball. Blood, and Yao Ming also had this intention.

Xu Xiao knew that next season Yao Ming would buy the Shanghai team and become the small boss of Shanghai, so he wanted to cooperate with Yao Ming. It is also helpful to the development of Xu Xiao's plan.

The Timberwolves finally lost to the Rockets in this game, because McGrady’s outburst scored 41 points and 11 assists and blew up the defense of Ariza and Outlaw. .

The Timberwolves' best player in the game is Hayes. Now he has perfectly adapted to Harrington's ability. Combining his own defense, rebounding and gradually developed support, he scored 28 points and 10 points in this game. The gorgeous data of rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals.

Haiye's three-point shot made Dayao shake his head when he saw it. He could only sigh:

"Hayes, you are not such a person. You should have had this skill long ago. As for not being able to pass the first round, as for not being able to beat the Lakers, as for making me double-teamed into a dog, Haiye, you have changed."

Although losing, it did not affect the morale of the Timberwolves at all.

After defeating the Mavericks, the Timberwolves successfully squeezed into the top eight in the Western Conference with a record of 17 wins and 14 losses. Westbrook even relied on the Timberwolves' record of 12 wins and 14 losses in a single month in December, and successfully won the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference. .

Xu Xiao also became the best coach of the month, which made everyone unexpected. It took only one month from the worst to the best. This made everyone pay attention to this young coach, and began to question the former Casey.

It's just that Xu Xiao was a little dissatisfied that the best month didn't give Roy. After all, they had the best record in the league, but Roy's All-Star should be stable.

In the previous life, Roy was selected as an All-Star last year, and in this life, Roy has been with him for a year, and now it's time to be an All-Star, Roy's first All-Star in this life.

Entering 2009 as the eighth in the West, this is indeed a good start.

Timberwolves fans finally saw some hope and dawn, but the more hopeful, the more cautious the fans were, and they began to use a magnifying glass to watch the game.

People are like this, no one will pay attention to the hopeless performance, but once there are signs of hope, people will be very cautious and worry about gains and losses, for fear that hope will flow away at their fingertips.

After finally entering the top eight in the Western Conference, don't be complacent and let go, and fall out. This is the advice of the fans, and it is also the advice Xu Xiao gave to the players.

However, after the Timberwolves entered the New Year, they directly came to a wave of 5 consecutive victories and completely secured the top eight in the Western Conference. This time, the fans of the Timberwolves were relieved. It's not just the top eight once, the Timberwolves have rushed to sixth in the West, because they missed a game, only half a game behind the fifth Mavericks.

As long as they beat the Celtics in the next away game, the Timberwolves will squeeze out the Mavericks and become fifth in the West.

This happiness came so suddenly that the fans couldn't accept it.

Earning the No. [-] pick one month ago, and earning home court advantage in the playoffs the next month?

But how could the cruel west allow the young Timberwolves to go so smoothly? After the game was figured out, the Timberwolves suffered several defeats in a row. Fortunately, Xu Xiao made adjustments in time.

In addition, Westbrook's growth also made Timberwolves fans ecstatic.

The most violent point guard in history, his style of play is always the hottest, but his mind is the clearest and calmest. Zombie shots that stand up to save the team during the stalemate stage have become a hard solution to the team's inability to open the situation. At critical moments The three-pointer is even more murderous, Westbrook has become more and more like a superstar.

"It seems that at the beginning of the season, the training of Westbrook was correct. All this is really worth it."

At this time, such views began to spread slowly. More and more people lined up to apologize to Xu Xiao. , but Xu Xiao didn't care. In his opinion, if the mouth of this kind of person is not hard, then the whole body can't be hard.
