The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

Chapter 52: Los Angeles, don't let me down!

In the first round against the Nuggets, although the Nuggets are not very strong, it will be very troublesome if you underestimate them.

The Nuggets are also a team with their own characteristics in the West. Maybe it’s because the climate is cold on the plateau. If you don’t run, you will freeze. The Nuggets have always been an offensive team. The team’s chances were not at that time. At the forefront of the league.

After sending away Anthony and Billups, the Nuggets formed a track and field team, and all the players can run and jump.

The starting lineup includes Felton, Matthews, Gallinari, Martin and Nene, who can run, jump, shoot, and shoot. Regardless of the tactical system, they are only divided according to the attributes of the players. This is an offensive and defensive lineup.

The substitute has Dragic sent by himself, Outlaw and Hayes as reinforcements, and he also has young players like Dudley and McGee. This lineup is indeed quite scary.

If you encounter other teams, then it is really hard to say, but it is a pity that you encounter their upper team Timberwolves.

In terms of running and jumping ability and physical talent, the only ones in the league who can give the Timberwolves a fight are the Heat.

Nuggets?The Timberwolves are the next team, with a similar style of play, but the player configuration and attributes. The players in each position of the Timberwolves are almost enhanced versions of the Nuggets.

Although before the game, people in the media were talking about how intense this round of the series would be, with two young and powerful teams facing off against each other, but only Xu Xiao knew best that this series was a bit of a suspense. nothing.

From the first game, the Timberwolves suppressed the Nuggets. After the fourth game, the Timberwolves intend to bring the game back to the home court to end. In addition to the Nuggets' life, the old Timberwolves Dragic has 8 threes. Scored 33 points in the game, the ultimate savior.

The Timberwolves did not let the Timberwolves sweep directly, but it was limited to this game. Back at home, the Timberwolves beat the Nuggets 120 to 101, and easily solved the Nuggets in five games.

At this time, except for the Celtics sweeping the Pacers 4-0, no team has a winner. This free time also allows Xu Xiao to observe their next opponent in time, the winner of the Lakers and Trail Blazers.

The two sides drew 2-2 and were about to enter the battle of Tianwang Mountain, which made Xu Xiao interested.

Xu Xiao is still clear about the strength of the Blazers. Last year, he almost capsized with the Blazers. The height of Durant + Alder + Kwame Brown is not something that ordinary people can bear.

It may not be so obvious in the regular season, but the height of the playoffs really works, and Durant is the kind of player who is stronger in the playoffs than in the regular season.

The Lakers also suffered a lot this time. Kobe was really not used to facing such a high inside line. Once he broke through, his insides were full of long arms.

Although the Blazers' No. 2 position is a cash machine Korver, their height really helped the Blazers solve many problems.

Especially Kwame Brown on the inside, maybe he is holding his breath and wants to prove himself, especially when facing the Lakers who looked down on him at the beginning.

Facing Bynum, Brown was relentless at all, using Wang Zhizhi's footsteps to make Bynum anxious.

If it weren't for Adelaide's abnormal performance in this round of the series, at this time, the Lakers may have fallen behind 1 to 3, or went home directly.

In this round of the series, Alder was restricted by Garnett too uncomfortable. Garnett, who is not injured, is the top defender in the league even if he is old.

Game [-] at the Staples in Los Angeles.

The Blazers are still in the regular lineup, but the Lakers suddenly changed.

Using Odom in the starting lineup to replace Bynum is Zen Master's trick. If it doesn't work, put Bynum down, and Odom will make the team more mobile as a whole.

This move also affects the whole body.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers became Odom to organize, and the Blazers could only use Alder to match, so that there would be more space inside.

Kobe asked for the ball directly in the dessert area, and after turning over, Korver had nothing to do.

When it's the Blazers' turn, it's for Durant, let Durant play, but Artest's defense against Durant is not vegetarian.

As far as Artest's body and defensive skills are concerned, that is Tucker from the super intensive class.

Although Durant can still make a move that ignores the defense, it consumes a lot of physical energy. Whether it is getting rid of the defense or getting stuck for the ball, every step consumes a lot of Durant's physical energy.

"Play inside, there is no Bynum on the opposite side, why are you still looking for Durant, this is the first quarter and not the fourth quarter, how well Kwame Brown played in the first few games." Xu Xiao was present I can only sigh to myself.

Last year, I lamented that the head coach of the Trail Blazers has something, but watching it today, I feel that his presence is still a bit ineffective. Such a good opportunity, instead of digging inside, is still looking for Durant.

Although Xu Xiao was talking to himself, these words were still heard by the people around him. After all, this is Los Angeles' home stadium, and there are still a lot of discussions around him.

"You know so well, how do you become a coach?" At this time, a slightly harsh voice came into Xu Xiao's ears, which made him a little displeased.

I wanted to go back and tell him who I am. After all, I have been a coach for several years in the past two years, and the results have come out. I don’t want to be tough when I speak at Staples at this time. Then when are you waiting for the Lakers to fall? ?Then I guess I won't be able to get into Staples.

However, when Xu Xiao turned his head back, both of them were stunned.

"Kristen Stewart!" This woman who makes countless people dream.

"Boss Xu?" Christine still knew Xu Xiao because he had cooperated with Tianhong Group in the endorsement before, and Xu Xiao was so famous in the NBA.

But Xu Xiao, a big straight guy, has never dated her. Although he watched every episode of Twilight, his previous life's character of an otaku made him do good and outrageous things in this life.

But now, Christine is actually appearing in front of her eyes. You must know that at this time, her twilight eclipse in March has just been released, and she is one of the most popular actresses in the United States.

This made Xu Xiao forget his identity and what to say.

"I'm sorry, Boss Xu, I didn't mean it just now, I know you are also an excellent coach." Kristen Stewart spoke first.

"Ah?...No...my problem...that..." Xu Xiao almost said the shameless words of beauty, adding a WeChat account, and losing her identity.

Fortunately, he swallowed it just in time... and then said an even more useless nonsense.

"Did you come here to watch the ball too?"

After saying these words, Xu Xiao wanted to give himself two mouthfuls. This scene was so embarrassing that he could dig out three rooms and one living room with his toes.

Christine smiled slightly, didn't get entangled, but said openly:

"Of course, and you can also hear the explanations from professionals. This game is really worth watching."

"Ah! I was talking nonsense just now, just talking casually."

"No, no one knows now. Boss Xu not only runs the team, he is also the coach of the team. He might be the best coach this year."

"Uh..." Xu Xiao rubbed his head, a little lost in words.

"By the way, tell me how to break the game, and I'll show them off later."

"Well, actually, I don't have any high opinions, but if I were the head coach of this team and saw the opponent's lineup, I would definitely let Kwame Brown go low."

"Let Brown play, let the Blazers double star do?"

"In this way, a lot of tactics have evolved. Odom will definitely not be able to stand up to Brown. Coupled with Brown's excellent footsteps and soft touch, the Lakers will definitely shrink the inside. The bottom line of the side is wandering to 45 degrees."

"and then?"

When talking about the field he is best at, then Xu Xiao was not sleepy, and began to speak eloquently.

"At this time, look at the Lakers' defense. If the defense comes over, I will switch to Adelaide to form a tactic with Adelaide as the axis." Xu Xiao said confidently

"If the Lakers' defensive tension is high and they can go wide quickly, then Durant can find an angle to make an air cut. If the opponent's defense is still sinking, then Durant will go directly to the line and hand-in-hand with Alderman to cover.

If the opponent's defense hasn't come up yet, then a screen can be used to shoot. If the defense is wide at this time, then Durant has a lot of choices, he can break through, he can go down with Adelaide, and he can also be stuffed inside. Brown.

Everything in this tactic is based on the fact that Odom the Lakers can't defend Kwame Brown one-on-one. "

Xu Xiao said confidently, and Christine also listened with great interest.

In an instant, the Lakers' lead came to 18 points. At the end of the three quarters, the Trail Blazers trailed the Lakers 66 to 84, and Staples had already begun to celebrate.

McMillan woke up at this time and began to use Xu Xiao's tactics.

"Look, this opening move is very correct. This is the tactic I just mentioned. Let's see if it works."

Hearing this, Christine also regained her spirits. In her eyes, this is a no-suspense match between the two, and they have already started playing on their mobile phones. take a look.

On the court, as Xu Xiao said, Kwame Brown held the ball and singled Odom, and Odom obviously felt very difficult in imitation defense.

Garnett could only come up to make up the defense, but Brown immediately scored the free throw line to Alder, and Garnett flew directly to defend, and Alder took advantage of the opportunity to break through with the ball.

Everyone's attention was on Adelaide's side, when he hit the ground suddenly, Adu ran back to the baseline, and when he caught the ball, it was a dunk.

This ball also attracted sparse applause. The tactical system of this ball has been played, so it is still very enjoyable to watch.

Then it was the same move. This time the Lakers' defense was wide open. Adu and Ade had a single block, shot directly from the middle distance, and hit again.

After the Lakers tried not to help the defense, Brown directly crushed Odom with his body, hit and caused a foul.

In just 4 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Blazers played a 16-2 offensive climax, and the 18-point difference instantly came to 4 points. At this time, the Lakers fans were anxious.

"Well, how could this happen? You should think of a way, the Lakers are going to lose." Christine also became anxious when she saw the score, grabbed Xu Xiao's shoulder, and began to shake.

If you were skeptical about him before, then you are convinced of him now.

"Okay, stop shaking, I'm going to faint."

"Then tell me, how can the Lakers get out of the predicament."

"It's very simple. If you don't let this opening move work, it will work. The last one who can defend Brown alone, or go around and prevent him from receiving the ball, will not be able to play this tactic."

Xu Xiao seemed to be in contact with the two coaches. When the timeout came back, the Lakers changed their defensive strategy and began to defend around the front.

If Kwame Brown can't catch the ball, this tactic cannot be played.

Durant suffered for the whole game, and in the end it was impossible to expect him to descend from the gods. After all, the god of death also has physical limitations, and his shooting percentage plummeted. Now Adelaide is being played by Garnett, and he can't afford to be a leader.

In the end, relying on Kobe's key performance, the Lakers defeated the Blazers 103 to 94 and won the battle of Tianwangshan.

Xu Xiao, who was sitting on the seat, showed a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"One step closer to revenge, Lakers, you must not be pulled down by the Trail Blazers. What I lost, I must take it back with my own hands. See you in Minnesota!"
