The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

After defeating the Nuggets in the first away game, the Timberwolves also ushered in their first home game of the new season.

The home game against the Sacramento Kings, the Kings have just experienced the last glory, last season was also the last time they entered the playoffs. Super bad team.

But now that Xu Xiao has come to the Timberwolves, he is about to bring new changes to the team, and the king, I wonder if they will also benefit from the butterfly effect caused by his arrival?

However, that's all for later, let's enjoy the game now.

Because it was the first home game, Xu Xiao had to come forward and have a formal meeting with the fans at the home game.

Because of the victory in the first game and the excellent performance of new aid Kwame Brown, the fans were less angry with Xu Xiao.

After all, fans like to watch wins, and it's the management's business to play poorly. Even if you always lose, even if you know that you are thinking about the long-term, the fans will be annoyed.

After returning to the home court, Kwame Brown, who found confidence in the last game, wanted to let go and lead the team back to the playoffs. The game was very aggressive at the beginning, not only showing off his footsteps at the basket, but also frequently Fire from outside.

And the King's inside line is far less powerful than the Nuggets' inside line. Just Miller has to fight with Brown, and Milicic is looking at the hand-to-hand boxing position, and also has to guard against Brown's tricks. The Timberwolves played against the rhythm.

The only bright spot on the King's side is their outside line, especially now that Artest, who has changed his name, relies on his strong body to crush in time and time again, helping the King to bite the score.

"Poor Tucker, he received a rookie gift package when he first entered the league. He just faced Anthony in the last game, and this time he has to face Artest, the two strongest small forwards in the league. He's fine after the game."

However, in the end, the King still failed to withstand the Timberwolves' offensive, and finally lost to the Timberwolves 99 to 105. After winning their first home game, the Timberwolves also won two consecutive victories in the new season.

In this game, Kwame Brown even scored a career-high 31 points and 16 rebounds. Such exaggerated data also made the Timberwolves fans excited, as if they had found a new "Wolf King".

But Xu Xiao knows that Kwame Brown alone is not enough. Although he has Wang Zhizhi's skills, it can only make him good. But if the Timberwolves want to rise, they must be super giant, and Xu Xiao also I know that although Minnesota is the fifth largest state in the United States, its economic level is considered good, but because of its geographical location, no star is willing to come to this extremely cold place, so there is basically the possibility of introducing superstars and soaring into the sky .

The road to reconstruction has to come slowly.

Although Xu Xiao is still worried about the future, this does not affect his joy of enjoying the victory with the whole team.

In the third scene against the Trail Blazers, a rookie from the Timberwolves, Roy finally adapted to the rhythm of the NBA. In this game, he scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and two steals. With a big heart, he made a breakthrough layup at the last moment, helping the team beat the Trail Blazers, and also brought the Timberwolves three consecutive victories.

All of a sudden, the Timberwolves, the Lakers, and the Hornets tied for the first place in the Western Conference. No one thought that the Timberwolves, who were crazily ridiculed before the game, would slap everyone in the face in this way. Even some experts couldn't figure it out. Kwame Brown How could a person who has almost locked in the top spot in history suddenly rise?

What's even more incomprehensible is that the one who brought all the changes to the Timberwolves turned out to be the useless boss who they have always looked down upon, who is ridiculed and only prodigal.

The performance of the Timberwolves made the Lakers management even more restless. If Kwame Brown had known this level, he would have given two fewer draft picks. He couldn't understand Xiao this person.

At first, he really thought that Xu Xiao was a pure prodigal, so he looked down on Xu Xiao at first. Even if he agreed to Xu Xiao's request, it had nothing to do with the Lakers. After all, the Lakers never relied on draft picks. Even if there is no draft pick, it can rely on Los Angeles' golden signs to attract stars to join.

In addition, in Kupchak's view, even if the Timberwolves have a draft pick, it will be difficult to rise within five years. In these five years, as long as there are no injuries, Kobe + Garnett can win at least three championships. Five years later, Kobe + Garnett still have immediate combat power, coupled with their confidence to cultivate Bynum, the Lakers will not be too bad in the regular season, and even if the Timberwolves rise, it is nothing but a super giant. Teams in the first round of the playoffs.

Then there is not much difference between their draft picks. At that time, the Lakers and Timberwolves had the right to swap. In other words, in the next five years, the Lakers can at least win three newcomers in the middle of the first round. As long as there are newcomers, there is room for trading. , so the Lakers still have room to operate.

In the eyes of Old Buss, the future of the Lakers is bright.

But now Xu Xiao made them start to doubt.

Obviously, Kwame Brown made some progress when he came to the Timberwolves. Whether it was in the Lakers or the Wizards, he had some opportunities before, but the strength he showed is a rough insider who can't even hold the ball. , but now he can win 20+10 or even 30+10 in one game. What does this mean? It means that maybe Xu Xiao really has the ability to turn decay into magic.

If he can get two or three high-ranking rookies with potential, then the Timberwolves can't do well, and they can really rise within 3-5 years.

And in the next game, everyone began to pay more attention to Kwame Brown, a parallel insider who was once looked down upon in every possible way, and strengthened the respect for Kwame Brown, although he can still continue to display his footsteps and hit shots from the outside. But the efficiency has dropped a lot. After all, although Wang Zhizhi's skills are delicate, they are not top-notch. Facing the strict defense of the teams, it is difficult to maintain an average output of 20+10 per game.

The Timberwolves also suffered a defeat when they faced the Kings again in the fourth game. The Kings' substitute insider Kenny Thomas scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, and at the last moment, forcibly caused Kwame Brown's foul, helping the Kings to end the Timberwolves three-game winning streak.

But it doesn't matter, because although the Timberwolves lost, Xu Xiao got the system currency again. He won the first three-game winning streak in his career and was rewarded with 1000. Now he already has 2500 system currency.

Seeing that he had so many, Xu Xiao rewarded himself with ten consecutive draws again. This time there was no star card, only a health card, a character card, and an IQ card.

Xu Xiao didn't plan to use these cards for them for the time being, because Xu Xiao also needed to observe, because in the end, there might not be many of these people left.

But now Xu Xiao is going to use his health card, not to others, but to Yao Ming.

Xu Xiao remembers that this year was the most explosive year for Dayao, but due to injuries, Dayao only played 48 games this season and lost the chance to make a team. The year when Howard hadn't grown up was the year in which Dayao had the best chance to get into the game, and now counting, it's almost time to get injured.

So Xu Xiao chose the health card without hesitation, and he also wanted to witness the scene of a Chinese entering the battle.

However, this health card also has its own rules. If it is used for a player of the team, then the player will be immune to all injuries within five years, and after five years he will return to the healthiest moment, but he will no longer be immune to any injuries, and the health card can It has been used multiple times but the second usage time limit is 60.00% of the first time. That is to say, the first time can last for five years, and the second time can only last for three years. It can also be used at the same time as the star card. If it is not used by players of the team, then this time becomes 3 years and can only be used once.

"Three years is fine. Now it is 3. After 06 years, it will be 3. It will be Dayao's peak 09. Moreover, Dayao's contract expires in 3 years. He has the opportunity to sign Dayao. At that time, he can sign Dayao." Continuing for him."

Thinking of this, Xu Xiao decisively used the health card for Dayao, and now he has two health cards left in his hand, which he prepared for Roy. Roy is still healthy now, and he doesn't require any record, so He is not in a hurry to use it.

Then the Timberwolves naturally started their path to failure. Seeing the Timberwolves start to lose, Old Buss felt so comfortable.

On the other hand, the Rockets are also developing in a good direction. Under Van Gundy's tactics with Yao Ming as the core, Dayao's data has been refreshed. Because Yao Ming has no injuries, the Rockets are not in a hurry to force McGrady to come back. Two more games rested.This also allowed him to adjust to the best state. In the 11 games that McGrady missed, although he only achieved a record of 5 wins and 6 losses, Dayao averaged 29.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.7 times per game. Super stats for caps.

This data has also appeared on the center's statistics for some time.

After Tracy McGrady returned, the Rockets also entered the regular stage, but the pressure of competition in the Western Conference this year is too great. The Mavericks played the best record in team history this year, followed by the Lakers and the Suns. fourth.

The most uncomfortable thing is that the NBA has not canceled the division system this year. Division No. 1 will directly enter the top five. This system was not abolished until 16, so although the Rockets have a better record than the Jazz, they still cannot escape the fate of sixth in the West.

"Fortunately, we decided to play badly this year. Otherwise, in this Shura field, we really can't play without some hard cards."

And this year's All-Star game also came as scheduled in Las Vegas, the casino city. Because Iverson was traded to the Nuggets, Parker, who was supposed to be selected as a full name, was squeezed out just like that. It was the first meeting between Xu Xiao and Dayao.

"I don't know why, but when I see you, I feel a special sense of intimacy, Boss Xu." Maybe it's because Xu Xiao gave Dayao health. Although Yao Ming doesn't know it, maybe it's the invisible effect brought by the system, so Let Dayao respect Xu Xiao from the bottom of his heart.

"We are all working alone in a foreign land, and we all have the blood of Huaxia in our bodies, so we will naturally have a sense of intimacy when we meet." Xu Xiao also replied politely.

"I really hope that one day, we can work together to win the damn championship in this American territory. Of course, if we cooperate and make a breakthrough at home, it will be even more exciting." Xu Xiao joked Speaking of.

Because the nba has very strict rules, the boss is not allowed to recruit players in private, so on this occasion, Xu Xiao didn't dare to say it too obviously, he could only use this kind of joke to win a chance for himself In addition, Xu Xiao also knows that in the past two years, his team has no competitiveness and cannot attract Dayao. In addition, Xu Xiao also expressed to Dayao about the 08 Olympic Games, and he also wants to participate in it. The country does its part.

"Of course, the cooperation with you is really worth looking forward to, so when will you buy the Rockets?" Yao Ming is also a smart person, and he answered with his own humor, that is, he gave Xu Xiao an answer, and at the same time, he would not be caught by the league. investigation.

In addition, he didn't dare to say anything about the Olympic Games. After all, it involved the national level, and Yao Ming is not the chairman of the Basketball Association, so he couldn't agree to such a thing.

But after getting Yao Ming's answer, Xu Xiao was also satisfied. After that, Xu Xiao met with the management of several teams one after another, and at the same time struck up a few words with many players, and improved his image a little bit. One of the purposes of this trip is that after the completion, Xu Xiao can appreciate this basketball feast wholeheartedly.
