The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

After losing Game [-], the Spurs' momentum plummeted.

The fourth game was even more blinded by the Timberwolves' dazzling offense, ending the series with a score of 119 to 92.

The old Spurs ultimately failed to overcome the young Timberwolves.

What Xu Xiao didn't know was that because of his appearance, Popovich completely changed his tactical thinking.

Although the former Popovich will also change next season, the Suns are far less impressive than the Timberwolves who eliminated him for two consecutive years.

The Timberwolves will face their old rival, the Los Angeles Lakers, in the Western Conference Finals.

He was swept out by the Lakers gentleman last season. This season, he made special reinforcements for the Lakers and strengthened the front line, but the inside line lacked height.

But the Lakers also have a strong support like Artest joining this year.

The first game will be played in Los Angeles.

Xu Xiao's tactical arrangement for this game is very clear, which is to give Josh the main fight.

Although the current Westbrook still has an absolute speed advantage against the old fish, but the current Westbrook is not the one who blew up the Lakers' guard line.

So the core of the tactics is not him, this game is mainly about Roy and Josh.

Xu Xiao started this game with Gibson instead of Ibaka.

Although Ibaka is also a tough representative, Gibson, who is more technically formed, is more suitable for the Lakers' inside height.

Use Ibaka to face the substitute Odom. After all, Ibaka is more flexible than Gibson and can chase Odom.

The first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Staples Center, was the moment that everyone was looking forward to.

Once upon a time, this place full of ridicule almost caused Xu Xiao a psychological shadow.

But now, as an opponent, even the Lakers have to face it carefully.

At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves gave the ball to Josh, and Oden came out to pick and roll.

Facing Bynum's defense, it was an unreasonable mid-range shot and a steady hit.

You must know that Paul's ball intelligence and skills are very top. The performance of the basketball ball intelligence organization on the offensive side is to be able to keenly detect the weak points of the opponent's defense, and use the advantages of his own skills or the advantages of his teammates to make the offense Opportunities with greater certainty arise from time to time.

But it's a pity that Paul's own physical talent is limited, and his height is flawed, so many times Paul can only say that he is powerless in the face of high-intensity defense.

But Josh doesn't have this problem.

In terms of physical talent, even James can't stabilize Josh, so Josh is not afraid of the strength of his opponent at all.

This is why Xu Xiao dared to entrust Josh with such an important task in the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

The tactics of the game are very simple, that is, Josh holds the ball and looks for opportunities for misplaced singles.

Facing the powerful Artest, Josh just pulled up directly. If Kobe was replaced, Josh would be in the middle distance with his back.

Let Garnett come, that is to pull out and challenge you directly.

As for Bynum and Fisher, that is free.

At the end of the half, Josh had scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Under the leadership of Josh, the Timberwolves also took a 12-point lead.

In the second half, the Lakers adjusted their starting lineup, allowing Odom to replace Bynum in the starting lineup.

The intention of the Lakers is also obvious, they want Odom, who moves fast, to match up with Josh.

But obviously he was thinking too much. Odom himself is not good at defense. He was beaten to death against Josh, and the effect was not as good as Artest.

Let Josh score 12 points in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers finally figured out that they were going to double-team Josh.

But in this game, Westbrook also showed Billups' dedication ability to the fullest. He made 7 of 6 three-pointers in the game, and made [-] of [-] three-pointers in the last quarter, which made the Lakers pay the price for double-teaming.

最终西决首场，森林狼以112比101大胜湖人，约什全场拿下42分12篮板跟11次助攻的超级三双数据，威少三分7中6，全场25分5次抢断。

Although they won the first game, facing the Lakers, especially the peak Lakers, there must be no sloppy.

The Lakers really made a change in the second game, decisively removing Bynum and starting with Odom.

Although Odom's performance in the last game was not good, but as the most trusted person under Phil Jackson, this time he naturally reused Odom without hesitation.

In this game, the Lakers set the tone of double-teaming Josh from the very beginning.

It didn't make Josh go crazy when he came up like in the previous game.

Although Odom didn't come up directly against Josh, his movement speed is still fast enough to allow the Lakers to rotate more quickly.

In this game, Westbrook was not as accurate as the three-pointer in the previous game. The game turned into a fight with iron from the beginning.

Both sides come and go, vowing to smash each other's basket.

Xu Xiao saw that the opponent had no Bynum inside, so he simply let Oden be the main attacker in this game, focusing on the inside.

With Daluo's technical blessing, Oden's deterrence in the interior is increasing day by day.

But Xu Xiao still underestimated Garnett, who was not seriously injured.

Although Garnett was getting older at this time, his athletic ability was still there because he was not injured. Several lobs to Oden were destroyed by Garnett.

This gave Xu Xiao a headache.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves' defense is still there. Although the offensive end cannot be played, the Lakers have been unable to open the score with their excellent defense.

In this game, the scale of action of both sides is getting bigger and bigger, and the whistle is getting looser and looser.

It was almost a fist-to-hand confrontation.

The intensity of the competition was comparable to the second yellow-green war in the previous life.

In the middle, Artest also had a quarrel with Josh.

Often in order to grab a rebound, the people under the basket are turned on their backs.

Although Ibaka and Gibson are both rookies for the Timberwolves, the style of play is really tough.

Not afraid of confrontation at all, Ibaka also directly overturned Bynum in a position grab.

The two sides fought until the last moment.

At this time, the power of the superstar was revealed. Roy's missed layup at the last moment gave the Lakers a chance to switch.

Kobe drove straight in with the ball and hit Huanglong to achieve 2+1, almost securing the victory of the game. The Lakers successfully defended their home court 88-83, and the total score became 1-1.

The game returned to Minnesota to restart.

But at this time, commentator Steve Kerr expressed his views.

"The Timberwolves team is very strong, but they didn't achieve results this year."

"Oh, why do you know that?" the host asked in a big wave.

"Well, the only shortcoming of this team is the coach. I have to admit that I didn't expect Xu Xiao to be able to do what he is doing now, but if he wants to become a championship team, he can only do this. far from enough."

"Then what do you think the Timberwolves need to change?"

"The first is the offensive end. Don't look at the Timberwolves' offense in the regular season, but their offensive routines are too simple. They can have such a high level of offense thanks to their players' high IQ. Form cooperation, but once they are targeted defense, then this system can not play, their offense will be useless."

Colton paused and continued:

"No matter how high a player's golf quotient is, he also needs the support of the tactical system. The coach's tactics are rich, and he also needs players who can break the game. The coach and the player complement each other. In this regard, Xu Xiao has not done enough. His defense The system is really good, but there are only three axes on the offensive end, which is not enough for the current Timberwolves, especially with such a group of talented young players."

"But I have to admit that Xu Xiao has done a good job in cultivating players' abilities and tapping their potential, so I also believe that the rise of the Timberwolves will happen sooner or later. If Xu Xiao can develop a few more tactics on the offensive end, As he learns defensive tactics, the Timberwolves will be terrible next season.

If not, it would be much better to have an assistant coach who is good at offense as soon as possible. I believe that after this year, there should be many good assistant coaches who will go to Xu Xiao. "

Kerr actually said something real. Now the Timberwolves' offense is really restricted by the Lakers. Only by relying on the player's personal ability and Spoelstra's defensive system can they hold a stalemate with the Lakers.

But every time it comes to a critical round, the Lakers can always give a fatal blow.

After all, defense is a passive choice, while offense is a more active one.

And it is the offensive problem that is instantly magnified by the Lakers.

In the end, the Timberwolves lost four consecutive games after winning one game first. The total score was swept by the Lakers Gentleman 1-4, and they were eliminated. Unfortunately, they stopped in the Western Conference Finals.

After the Lakers won the duel with the Timberwolves, they will face the more powerful Boston Celtics in the finals.

This is also the third consecutive year that the two teams have met in the finals. Last year's Celtics, under Pierce's brave performance, prevented the Lakers from winning three consecutive championships.

But with the addition of Artest this year, the Lakers' strength has obviously improved.

In the end, they avenged last year's revenge, winning 4-3 with a total score of 4 to [-], and won their third championship trophy in the past [-] years.

Kobe also became the second person to win 6 championship trophies after Jordan, and became the well-deserved No.1 after Jordan.

Kobe's championship also greatly stimulated James, who decided to come out soon.

But Xu Xiao didn't have time to worry about this, he was busy this summer.

First of all, because it is the first time to enter the Western Conference finals, the system rewards [-] system coins. Xu Xiao didn't save this time, and used all his brains. He wanted to get a few more tactical cards and health cards. Oden's health card is about to expire. , Roy also used one.

Xu Xiao still wants to get Yao Ming over next season, because Yao Ming used it once before. I don’t know if he can use it again this time as his team member. Xu Xiao also wants to get stuck with this bug. If he succeeds, he will earn money. big.

And even if all 7000 are used, I still have more than [-] system coins left, which is completely enough.

The three thousand system coins were bought in one swoop and finally got:

"Four health cards, three special skill cards, three tactical cards, three star cards, three player cards and one character card." Generally speaking, it's not bad and acceptable.

After the lottery draw, the next step is the draft, and there is another thing.

Before cooperating with Dayao, he also collected a lot of talents in China, and now Xu Xiao has a new idea.

He wants to make a league of his own.

On the one hand, these talented domestic players can get familiar with the professional league as soon as possible, and on the other hand, the nba will come to a standstill after next season, which happens to be the time to promote their own league.

According to the historical trend, it will be a matter of time before the nba falls out with the country, and after that, nba's influence will also decline.

And Xu Xiao, as a reborn person, has unique conditions, how can he tolerate a small nba rampant.

This is what Xu Xiao has always wanted to do since he entered the NBA, and he has been preparing for it for a long time.

Build a league that doesn't lose to the nba.This is his original intention, or his ambition.

There is not much time left for him now. According to the historical trajectory, the day of breaking up will be 10 years later, and everything will be completed within these 10 years. He Xu Xiao has this confidence.
