The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

According to the script of the previous life, after the three-game losing streak, the Lakers should have let out a bad breath at the underdog Pistons, and then won back a wave of criticism.

But I didn't expect the butterfly effect brought by Xu Xiao. Now this Pistons is not weak at all, more like a replica of the Pacers in their previous life. Their outside line is George Hill, Paul George and Stephens. Burt, but with tough Amir Johnson, and inside footwork master Al Jefferson.

Originally, the Lakers had been going smoothly in this game, but at the end of the third quarter, Kobe stepped on Shumpert's foot after a layup and was directly lifted off the field.

After that, the Lakers' offense began to be chaotic. In the last quarter, they were beaten by the Pistons 39 to 18. They just reversed the 20-point difference. The Lakers have lost four straight.

The faces of the Lakers fans were quite ugly. They never thought that the Big Four Lakers would usher in a four-game losing streak at the beginning, and Kobe was injured. They seemed to see a five-game losing streak beckoning to them.

Because in the next game they will challenge the Plateau Jazz, known as the "Devil's Home", in an away game.

With the current state of the Lakers, it may be difficult to end the losing streak.

Xu Xiao can just eat melons quietly from the sidelines. Although the Lakers fans are angry at this time, they can still restrain themselves. If he is being a bit of a monster, there is no guarantee that he will not be greeted with egg mineral water next time when he is in Los Angeles.

The momentum of the Timberwolves is still fierce. After winning the Raptors and the Magic, the two Eastern underdogs, the Timberwolves have won four consecutive victories, ranking first in the West.

Although Xu Xiao didn't want to take the initiative to find trouble at this time, it doesn't mean that others can stop. After all, the fans were too arrogant in the years when the Lakers won the championship brilliantly, and they recruited a lot of black people for the Lakers.

At this time, he even jumped out to taunt the Lakers, especially the Timberwolves. After all, the two teams used to taunt each other.

But the consequence of this is that when the Lakers win the next round and the Timberwolves lose, the Timberwolves will bear double the anger of the Lakers fans. Who makes basketball a turn-based game.

Sure enough, in the next game, the Lakers beat the Utah Jazz with a score of 99 to 80 relying on their excellent performance inside and tough defense in the absence of Kobe.

In this game, Howard scored 19 points, 17 rebounds and 6 blocks. He was the key to the Lakers' victory.

On the other side, the Timberwolves lost an away game to the underdog Pacers in the East. The Timberwolves team felt sluggish in this game, making 22 of 3 three-pointers. It is not easy to win against anyone with such a shooting percentage.

If it weren't for Oden's 22 points and 23 rebounds in this game, the Timberwolves really couldn't entangle with the Pacers until the last moment, and finally lost to the opponent 93 to 99.

So the wind review came to the Lakers.

"I'm dying of laughter. I'm just here to taunt the Lakers. The Lakers' losses are all strong teams. Who do you think you lost? The Pacers, a strong contender for the No. [-] pick."

"Upstairs, I support you. The Lakers lost because the lineup hasn't been adjusted well. The Timberwolves are the championship lineup, and there are basically no major changes. Does this need to be adjusted?"

"Who says there are no changes? They sent away the hero who won the championship, haha."

"You guys are endless. If I'm not mistaken, the Timberwolves are still number one in the Western Conference. Why can't the Lakers find you? Where are you guys?"

"Hehe, you're laughing so hard, you're starting to be the champion after only five matches?"

"Is the first place in the Western Conference in five games something to be proud of?"

"I admit that the Lakers did not play well in the first few games, but we have already found our own problem. Our problem lies with the coach. As long as the management can stop the loss in time and replace the coach, please go back to Zen Master, we Can still have the strength to hit No. [-] in the Western Conference, how about you? Did you find the reason for the loss? Whose problem is it to lose to a tank team like the Pacers.”

"I laughed so hard, it's really an argument."

There was a lot of noise on the forum, but no one noticed that Howard's mentality had changed when he came to the Lakers.

Kobe was talking about teaching Howard to win before, and Howard was already very upset. Now that Kobe is not here, he can lead the team to win, so why are you still pushing me, just give me the ball.

Once you have such an idea, the problem of the locker room will follow.

Afterwards, against the Warriors without Curry but with Paul, the Lakers overturned again without accident.

This game became an exhibition game for the Warriors. Gay, Griffin and Eric Gordon on the bench staged dunks in turn, embarrassing the Lakers at home.

After the game, the Lakers Jr. Bass immediately fired Bread Brown.

Then it was announced after only 24 hours that a new head coach D'Antoni was appointed!

"D'Antoni?"

"Is there any mistake? Why didn't you invite a Zen master?"

"D'Antoni? The coach who can only bombard but not defend?"

"You let such a group of old guys run fast breaks? The Lakers management, have your brains been kicked by donkeys?"

After announcing D'Antoni's appointment, Xu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zen Master is not allowed to come back, no one will be able to save the Lakers.

The disadvantages of not having the right to pick the ball over the years have also begun to emerge.

Not only is there no rookie, draft picks are used as a bargaining chip, but more often they are important trading chips for team reinforcement. The Lakers have no draft picks in recent years, or only the Timberwolves have given him leftovers.

Not only did they have no new recruits, but they also repeatedly hit the wall in the trading market, so the current Lakers are completely exhausted. As long as they are not allowed to rise this season, the Lakers next season will plummet.

Maybe it was because he paid too much attention to the situation of the Lakers that Xu Xiao even forgot to prepare for the next game.

In the next game against the Bulls, the two sides played equally inextricably, but the Bulls strengthened the singles Joe this season and showed his role at the last moment.

The two sides battled fiercely until overtime. In the last 1.3 seconds, Joe hit a mid-range shot at the buzzer in singles. The lore king really lived up to his reputation and completed the lore again.

Now the Timberwolves have suffered a two-game losing streak. At the same time, relying on Iguodala's outstanding performance, the Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers, achieved a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, and successfully pulled the Timberwolves off the horse.

"You can't be careless in the future. After all, this is the wild west. If you are not careful, you may fall behind." Xu Xiao reminded himself all the time.

Then the Timberwolves began to compete with the Spurs.

The Timberwolves defeated the Mavericks 100-89. Yao Ming scored 20 points and 8 rebounds as a substitute. Then the Spurs also mercilessly defeated the Lakers as a counterattack, giving the Lakers a 1-6 start and consolidating their first place in the Western Conference. seat.

The Timberwolves beat the Bobcats 109 to 79, and the Spurs followed up with a 107-106 victory over the New York Knicks, ending the Knicks' five-game winning streak at the beginning, while continuing to maintain the No. 5 spot in the Western Conference.

In this way, at the end of November, the records of both sides were fixed at 11 wins and 13 losses, but the Spurs' schedule was more difficult. If they hadn't played back-to-back against the Eagles and the Heat at the end of the month, the Spurs might have a better record.

After all, for them, back-to-back is the most torturous, and they are still playing against a team like the Heat, which also gives the Timberwolves a chance to catch up.

And another team that has received much attention, the Lakers, has also improved after the coaching change. After a big victory over the Nuggets, the record has come to 6 wins and 9 losses. It has come to the edge of the playoffs. More importantly, during this time, the Lakers Seems to have entered the honeymoon period, Bryant rarely played consecutive efficient games.

Everything is going well.
