I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 425 3 to 2, get the match point!
After the third quarter of the final G5 game and the Tianwangshan battle, the score of the two sides came to 54 to 49.

Today's score is doomed to fail, and it only scored 50 points in three quarters. Normally, it might be 80 at this time, which is a full [-] points difference.

"Phew - I really didn't dare to blink my eyes after watching this game, for fear that I might miss the wonderful show." Kenny Smith rubbed his head.

The game shocked him.

It was painful at first, but the more I watched it, the more I was shocked.

Incredible.

In this game, the two teams played their defense well!

"I'm very puzzled that they can control so few mistakes with such a low score. It's almost impossible." More than 5 times! Simply amazing!"

No mistakes, which means no counterattack points brought about by mistakes, which reduces the source of a large part of the score.

But that score is too little.

It wouldn't be surprising if teams like the Grizzlies and Spurs scored like this, but this is the Pacers, the most aggressive and wolfish team in the league.

In this game, the score was 54 to 49.

"The time to decide the outcome of the fourth quarter has come. Xu Xuan is still on the court, playing the fifth consecutive game!" Barkley praised.

This is not bragging, this is the truth!

Playing five games in a row is simply not personal.

"Everyone wanted to boil Xu Xuan to death, but in the end, they found that the one who was boiled to death was themselves. This is really bad luck." Barkley said.

There are many people who want to boil Xu Xuan to death, but as I said just now, they didn't boil Xu Xuan to death in the end, but they all boiled themselves to death.

The first down in the fourth quarter.

Xu Xuan asked for a pick-and-roll.

Pickle's pick-and-roll, the return pass after the pick-and-roll, Pickle missed a three-pointer.

The Pacers don't have many pick-and-rolls, unlike the Cavaliers, who play a hundred or eighty pick-and-rolls with you in a game.

But there is nothing missing. The pick-and-roll is the most classic and commonly used tactic in the league. No team can put this tactic aside, not even a Dolby team like the Thunder.

The pick-and-roll between Xu Xuan and Paojiao is also very classic.

Both of them have terrible ability to hold the ball. Once a dislocation is formed, it will cause singles, and the success rate of Xu Xuan and Paojiao's singles is too high.

Not to mention Xu Xuan, Pickled Pepper is also one of the top heads-up players in the league.

It's a pity that the Warriors didn't give the ball a chance. After the pick-and-roll, Paojiao faced Klay instead of Curry.

The two played against each other, and the ball was empty.

The rebound was protected by Green.

The Warriors counterattacked, and Curry was interfered with for a layup and did not score.

"Well, it seems that I'm overthinking." Kenny Smith laughed at himself.

He thought that the touch on both sides would be up in the fourth quarter, but after looking at it this way, he was still lying.

Sure enough, until the end of the match, neither side had any explosive scenes.

The Warriors also failed to tie up this seemingly small point difference.

72 to 68, although it can't be regarded as the lowest score in the NBA finals, but in recent years, it can be regarded as a strange story, not to mention that the protagonists of this game are still teams like the Pacers and Warriors.

At the end of the game, the Pacers took a 3-2 lead to get the match point.

Xu Xuan played 48 minutes, but his score was his lowest this season, only 18 points.

18分、3助攻、9篮板、3抢断、1盖帽。

The shooting percentage is less than 40%, and the three-point shooting percentage is less than 30%.

It can be said that this is Xu Xuan's worst game.

But Curry and Clay are no better than Xu Xuan, or even far worse.

Curry scored only 9 points, and Clay scored in double figures, scoring 10 points. The two added up to one point more than Xu Xuan.

This game was played. Terrible!
"In other words, after this round of finals, the value of both sides will not drop, right?" O'Neal said jokingly.

With such a low score and such a low hit rate, isn't it normal for his value to drop?
"That's not going to happen, but the Pacers have now won the match point 3-2. I guess the Warriors should be in a hurry." Kenny Smith said.

Kenny Smith sighed, "To be honest, I really feel a little bit now that the Pacers are going to win the championship."

"The Warriors are now like a pool of stagnant water. At home, in such an important game as the Tianwangshan battle, they played like this. They must reflect on themselves."

"In the next game, I am optimistic about the Pacers. I think their chances of winning are almost [-]%."

That's not what Barkley said, it's what Kenny Smith said.

No exaggeration, no bragging, it is what it is.

After these five games, the Warriors have not played friendly enough, especially the two points of Curry and Clay, who are not as strong as they played in the regular season.

"You all said that Xu Xuan would pull his hips from the playoffs to the finals, but now you know who is pulling the hips? Xu Xuan's stability is hard to describe in words." This is Barkley, and his style is still a bit difference.

wake up.

I, Sir Charles, am no longer embarrassed, and there is a reason for every blow.

The big score was 3 to 2, and after returning to Indiana, Xu Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of the next game, at least the current situation is in the hands of the Pacers.

It's not them who need to worry now, but the Warriors.

After the G5 game, Curry walked into the locker room without saying hello to him for the first time. It seems that this kid was hit.

He only scored 9 points. How can he look like a regular season MVP?
It is estimated that the next game will definitely be very interesting.

As Xu Xuan was thinking, the cell phone in front of him suddenly rang.

When Xu Xuan looked at the caller ID, he suddenly smiled.

Still a rarity.

"Hey, Kevin, why call me when you are free? I heard you went on vacation to Italy, are you back now?"

Xu Xuan looked familiar.

Because it was actually Durant calling Xu Xuan.

The two are not very familiar, but their relationship is not that bad. At that time, Xu Xuan also learned a big swing with his arms from Durant.

However, due to his height, Xu Xuan rarely used this move.

Compared to Xu Xuan's ease, Durant said in surprise: "You are so relaxed now? Can you guarantee that you will win the next game?"

"No guarantee." Xu Xuan said casually.

"Then why don't you look stressed at all?"

"Installed."

"."

Durant was speechless.

But he didn't go down with Xu Xuangang, he called because there was a "major matter".

"I just said, I'm calling for something important." Durant said bluntly, not wanting to argue with Xu Xuan.

"Important matter?" Xu Xuan rolled his eyes, and then said, "Well, I'm listening, you can just say it."

"Then I'll just say it straight," Durant was not polite, and after considering his tone, he said slowly, "Your contract should expire this year, right? How about it, do you want to renew it?"

Hearing Durant's words, Xu Xuan was so angry that he didn't choke to death with a sip of water.

Let's be straight, are you really that straight?

Xu Xuan rubbed his head, brother, do you think it is possible for me to tell you such an important matter?
And, to tell you the truth, I haven't figured it out yet.

"I don't know Kevin yet," Xu Xuan sighed, Durant was so straight, Xu Xuan was too embarrassed to lie to him.

"Then are you interested in building a dynasty together?" Durant interrupted Xu Xuan directly.

"."

Xu Xuan was dumbfounded.

This... can it really go straight?

The legendary straight man of steel?

"Establish a dynasty?" Xu Xuan couldn't help asking.

"Yes, establish a dynasty!" Durant's voice came over, and it sounded like he had planned for a long time.

"I've thought about it, this round of finals, no matter who loses, I will stick to that team, even if it is a salary cut, I will join!" Durant said.

His voice was very firm: "The Thunder told me that they are not going to make any reinforcements this season. They offered a maximum salary, but I, Kevin Durant, am I short of money? I am not short of money. ! I need a champion!"

"Then why did you join the team that failed?" Xu Xuan was confused.

He was confused by Durant.

Your big brother said that he wanted to be invincible, a champion, and a dynasty, so why did you join the team that failed?
Xu Xuan didn't understand.

Durant gave his own answer: "To join, of course, you have to join a team that can win the championship, but I don't want to join the winners. They are already winners. If I go again, even if I win again, others will say that I am a lie. , then I will leave a lifetime of stains that are difficult to wash away. Winners do not need another winner to defend their dignity. On the contrary, losers are different! They are losers, and I am also a loser. , we can make up for each other, so that no one will say that I won the championship."

Xu Xuan was silent now.

He was a little taken aback by Durant.

Leaving the Thunder was Durant's choice this season, and Xu Xuan was not surprised.

But what about joining the losers?

Didn't your boss join the victors before?
Why did you change direction?

The point is, Durant was right.

Because of joining the Golden State Warriors in his previous life, Du's second child was miserable.

Of course, there is also the alliance's pot.

The league must have a "good guy" and a "bad guy". When James becomes a "good guy", Durant will naturally become a "bad guy". Whether he wants it or not, the league will do it.

Just like the current Xu Xuan, the league's official intention is to praise Curry and demote Xu Xuan, but after the last round of the Eastern Conference Finals, the league suddenly discovered that the resistance to demoting Xu Xuan seemed too great to continue. , then just stop moving.

And Du Laoer really shocked Xu Xuan this time.

Join the losers?
Both sides are losers, and cooperation will benefit both?

This... doesn't seem like an idea Du Erer could come up with, does it?
Isn't this guy always out of his mind?

But he was right. Joining the losers will not damage his reputation. Moreover, the team that can reach the finals must be the team that can win the championship. With him, maybe next season can really do something. .

But unfortunately, Xu Xuan really didn't mean to play "brother basketball".

And even if it's a fight, a pickled pepper next to me is enough, how about another one?
Sorry, not so many people!

The ball is so small, Xu Xuan will not be willing to sacrifice his possession of the ball to play without the ball.

I am playing so well, why should I split the ball?
At this point, it is okay to say that Xu Xuan is Dolby, I am Dolby.

I have four talents, pass, breakthrough, and three-pointers. I need the ball myself. If I don’t have the ball, I’m a fart!
Xu Xuan usually seems to have no airs in the team, but if you don't give him the ball, try playing peat!

Xu Xuan can get mad, and when he gets mad, he is more ruthless than King Ning in Tang Bohu's Qiuxiang.

Why can pickled pepper get along so happily with Xu Xuan?

It was because Pickled Pepper took the initiative to switch to playing off the ball and playing three-pointers, otherwise there must only be one of the two players.

Xu Xuan didn't want to say anything here, the talents given by the system were just like this, and he couldn't let him watch these talents rot.

In other places, we can coexist peacefully, but here is the right to the ball, sorry, there is no talk!

Assuming that the final loser of this round of finals is the Pacers, Durant is willing to cut his salary to join the Pacers.

Under the premise of a sharp increase in the salary cap, Durant cut his salary to join, forming a combination of Xu Xuan + Pickled Pepper + Durant's Big Three. It may be possible to defend the title next season.

But in this way, when Durant joins, he will inevitably take away part of the ball. Even if he is willing to play off the ball, Xu Xuan can't play as comfortably as before.

Under such circumstances, Xu Xuan can only say NO, his limit is a two-person team, the kind where the second master has to be sensible.

Three people, three superstars, too many!

A team cannot accommodate so many superstars!
In the previous life, after the group craze passed, most teams in the league were mostly two-person teams.

The Big Three, the Big Four, and even the Big Five are no longer popular.

Why did the Warriors fall so quickly?
The transition from the championship to the "No. [-] pick" was almost completed in the blink of an eye?
It is that they have always been obsessed with the superstar group lineup of the Big Three and the Big Four.

And with a better record than them, the rising Lakers, Clippers, Bucks and other teams are all two-person teams.

The two-person team does not look as colorful and beautiful as the three-person team, but the lineup is more reasonable.

"To tell you the truth, I also called Stephen just now, and I want to join you more than them." Durant said after hearing Xu Xuan's polite refusal.

Xu Xuan smiled.

Are you so unfavorable that we can win?
"No, it's because you have a high chance of winning that I think so."

Xu Xuan waved his hand, it doesn't matter, Durant sometimes talks like this, he knew it when he practiced the arm swing with him.

"That's it, I will look forward to your next game, and, I believe, you will change your opinion." After finishing speaking, Durant hung up the phone.

Xu Xuan thought about it for a while, and it didn't matter. He didn't know who would win and who would lose in this competition. Why think so much?

Honestly prepare for the game, isn't it delicious?
