I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 472 Four consecutive victories!Perfect start!

Successfully won three consecutive victories, bid farewell to Westbrook, and everyone on the Lakers went to the away game again.

There are four away games this time, but only two have been played so far, and there are still two more.

But the next opponent is more interesting, the Indiana Pacers.

To be honest, Xu Xuan did not expect to return to his old club so soon.

But this old club is a little different from the Knicks. He enjoyed two good seasons in Indiana, and the fans here also like him very much.

Coach Frank was also deeply moved. It felt like a world away when he came back to Indiana again, especially when he saw the fans.

They arrived in Indiana on the afternoon of the 31st, and the game will start tomorrow.

In the evening, Xu Xuan entertained guests and got together with many old friends, including pickled peppers, and even Big Bird, which was very honorable to Xu Xuan.

In the final analysis, Xu Xuan did not leave for no reason. He won the honor here and fought back the trophy. The fans in Yincheng worship him more than anything else.

The new head coach, Nate McMillan, also came and had a great chat with Frank.

Well, it doesn't mean that every successor and predecessor are enemies, and there are quite a few good ones.

Of course, when it comes to tactics, everyone just looked at each other and smiled. Even though they used to know each other very well, now, they are not sure what kind of routine the other will come up with.

Xu Xuan gathered with his old friends, and the Lakers players were inexplicably moved.

Look, look, this is the gap. Back then, LeBron James was about to have his brain blown out, and Xu Xuan also changed teams. Why is the gap so big.

Reminiscing about the old days, the two teams played very well in the second day's game.

The Pacers left a lot of people this year, Xu Xuan went to the Lakers, George Hill went to the Jazz, West went to the Spurs, Hibbert retired, McGee and Tucker are still there, and Lavoy is also here. .

Of course there are people who come and go, like Jeff Teague, Monta Ellis, Thaddeus Young, Miles Turner
It can be said that the current Pacers have nothing to do with the Pacers who won the championship last season, except for a core player, Pickled Pepper.

The two teams played very well. Nate McMillan's coaching style is somewhat different from Frank's. Nate McMillan puts more emphasis on tactics, while Frank puts more emphasis on the unity and cooperation between players.

The two teams tied in the first quarter, and the Lakers had a strong substitute in the second quarter, taking a slight lead. They were chased back again in the third quarter, and the two teams continued to fight until the fourth quarter.

The fans who came to the Bankers Life Arena to watch the game saw that the familiar face wearing the No. 23 jersey was no longer wearing their own jersey. I really can't hate it.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won.

The Pacers' tactics are relatively clear to Frank. The so-called change of soup does not change medicine. Nate McMillan wants to change it for a while. It will not happen overnight, it will take time.

In the end, the Lakers won the game. Xu Xuan bent down and bowed to the fans at the end of the game.

This is gratitude, thanks for their continuous support and love.

The fans were very moved and gave Xu Xuan applause.

At this time, in a mansion in Cleveland, a man named LeBron James felt very sour, like a basket of lemons.

unfair!
unfair!
It's really not fair!
Everyone is a transfer, you say it's fine if you don't scold, but you still applaud?
You still support him?

What the hell. What kind of ecstasy did they give you to fascinate you like this.

At this moment, Lao Zhantou really admitted that he had forgotten it, and he couldn't figure it out.

Is there any magical power in Xu Xuan's hanging man?
Seeing this scene, he remembered how he was sprayed by Cavaliers fans and Heat fans at that time. Mad, he didn't dare to show his head during that time.

Compared with Xu Xuan's treatment, it's so heart-wrenching.

Kenny Smith also commented: "This should be the most harmonious transfer of a superstar player I have ever seen. The fans in Indian City are doing well."

"Is this Xu Xuan's personality charm? God, he has only played here for two years. If he has played here for 20 years...it's hard to imagine what kind of scene it will be!" Barkley said excitedly.

It is impossible for anyone to see Xu Xuan bowing and the fans standing up and applauding remain indifferent. This is the most real interaction between players and fans.

In the interview after the game, Xu Xuan also said that he was very happy to stay in Indiana for less than two years. He likes the fans, colleagues, architecture, and culture here. This is where he first grew up.

At this moment, if the irritable Miami fans heard what Lao Zhan said, they would definitely choke: "You grow up and grow up, are you happy? How can I make you happy, make you happy!!!"

The fans in Yincheng are different, they really feel the sincere feelings from the bottom of Xu Xuan's heart.

James: "I am sincere too!"

Grumpy dude from Miami: "You're so sincere! Bah!"

James: "."

Unable to communicate.

At the end of the game, while the Lakers won four consecutive victories, Xu Xuan's personal data is also very impressive.

32分、9助攻、4篮板、2抢断、2盖帽！

四场比赛下来，场均可以拿到34分、8.7助攻、5.7篮板、1抢断、0.5盖帽的数据。

The scoring average is second only to Westbrook's 39.5 points, ranking second in the league.

After four games, Westbrook averaged 39.5 points, 10 assists, and 11 rebounds per game, which is absolutely crazy.

After playing the Pacers, the Lakers have only one of the four away games left.

The last game is a back-to-back game. The last thing the players want to do is to play back-to-back away games. Frank doesn’t have much demand for the last game. After all, he won three of the four away games and is still so strong. For him, the task has been completed.

After playing the game against Indiana on the night of the 1st, I flew directly to Atlanta at night.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that everyone arrived in Atlanta. It took half an hour to go to the hotel, and it was past three o'clock when they took a shower and got ready to go to bed.

What Frank asked was to gather at 11:3, and Xu Xuan didn't have any intention of going to training anymore. I feel tired, but the limit of his endurance is very high. Most people may finish the work in two to three minutes, but he may persist for more than an hour!
The biggest deal for the Eagles this year should be the signing of Warcraft Howard, worth $3 million in three years.

Howard is 30 years old this year. He played 71 regular season games with the Rockets last season, averaging 13.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and shooting 62% from the field.In the playoffs, he averaged 13.2 points, 14 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 54.2 percent from the field.For the Hawks, Howard has extremely high value, and his rebounding and defense can provide the Hawks with a lot of help.

It stands to reason that the age of 30 has indeed not gone downhill, which is why Warcraft is still very fragrant.

Last season, Howard fired the famous agent Dan Fegan and hired O'Neal's former agent Rodgers, with the goal of getting a long-term maximum salary contract this summer.According to regulations, Howard can get a contract with a starting salary of more than 3000 million U.S. dollars this summer. Because of this, Howard jumped out of his contract worth more than 2300 million U.S. dollars in the last year with the Rockets and became a free agent.

However, the famous Howard Baker interviewed a number of league executives, and they all said that they are willing to give Howard an annual salary of up to 1300 million to 1500 million US dollars, and they will never offer him a maximum salary contract.Because Howard refused to adjust his low-post play style in the small ball era, and his desire to win has been criticized, his market is not high.

But later, Howard may have figured it out and adjusted his psychological expectations. He took the initiative to lower his requirements and sought a contract with a starting salary of about 2400 million US dollars.In the end, he negotiated with the Eagles, and the average annual salary of the three-year $3 million contract between the two parties exceeded $7050 million.

In addition to Howard, the Eagles also re-signed Kent Bazemore with a four-year, 4 million contract with a player option in the final year.

He played very well in the Eagles last season, averaging 11.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, securing his starting position.He was snatched up in the free market, and went to Houston to interview with the Rockets. At that time, it was reported that Bazemore was seeking a big contract with an annual salary of 1900 million to 2000 million. You must know his annual salary last season. Only $200 million.

According to NBA official website reporter David Aldridge broke the news, the Rockets and the Lakers have offered Bazemore a four-year contract of 4 million yuan. This price is not very competitive. In the end, Bazemore chose to stay eagle.After all, the Hawks reached a signing intention with Howard earlier, and Bazemore is more willing to partner with a super center.

After Xu Xuan left and the Pacers' championship team disintegrated, the Eagles still wanted to make a difference. Without a stumbling block, anyone in the East who still has ideas about the championship cannot sit still.

October 11st, 2pm.

The game between the two teams officially started.

For the Lakers, the starting lineup has changed, mainly because after three consecutive away games, the lads are a little tired, so Frank will play Xu Xuan, Lu Wei, Ci Shiping, Randall and Yi in this game. Jian Lian's debut.

The Eagles sent Schroeder, Korver, Bazemore, Millsap and Howard to the starting lineup.

Following the referee's signal, Yi Jianlian and Howard walked to the free throw line to execute the jump ball.

Howard and Yi Jianlian are old rivals. Howard is three years longer than Yi Jianlian. When Yi Jianlian first entered the league, Howard had already taken advantage of the momentum.

But it was the first time to talk about jumping the ball, after all, Yi Jianlian used to play power forward.

Warcraft jumped to the ball, this guy's upper body strength is too strong, with extraordinary upper body strength.

Yi Jianlian was a little embarrassed. Frank's main purpose for him to start was to let him jump the ball more often in the regular season. The reasons for not jumping a ball up to now were some due to luck and some due to strength.

The Eagles go first.

The tactics of the Eagles are relatively traditional. There is no way. Signing Howard means that their tactics must go to the traditional ones. However, the combination of Millsap and Howard can both attack and defend.

When No. 11 minutes into the first quarter, the two teams were basically tied, 34 to 37, and the Eagles led by 3 points at home.

In this quarter, Howard performed well, making 4 of 2 shots in a single quarter, 8 of 5 free throws, 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal.

However, Warcraft's best performance in the first quarter was not him, but Tim Hardaway Jr. who came off the bench.

Xu Xuan's old friend.

Tim Hardaway Jr. was traded to the Hawks last season. The Hawks only paid the price of Jeremy Grant, the No. 19 pick of the year, to replace Hardaway from the Knicks.

在被换之前的那个赛季，也就是14-15赛季，小哈达威场均出场24分钟的情况下，可以拿到11.5分、2.2篮板以及1.8助攻。

In terms of performance, it's not worth it or necessary for the Knicks to trade him for a No. 19 rookie in the first round.

However, Phil Jackson still made the deal at that time. From the point of view at the time, others could not say anything wrong, but later generations proved that Tim's strength is still not weak, with the highest average of 19.1 points, 2.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds.

This guy still looks like that hippie smiling face, and he is also rough during the game, he is a living treasure.

During the timeout, Xu Xuan gave him a thumbs up. This guy just made 6 of 5 shots and 5 of 4 three-pointers. With an unbelievable shooting percentage, he scored 14 points in a single quarter, even more than Xu Xuan scored in a single quarter. high.

You must know that Xu Xuan only scored 8 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds in this quarter.

Both sides scored high, and the Eagles even scored 37 points due to the outstanding performance of Tim Hardaway Jr.

Playing a team like the Eagles is different from playing Mosaic and playing the Thunder. This Eagle is very traditional. They have a fierce defensive inside and the league's top outside shooter (Korver). It will be difficult to defend them because of their offensive methods. A lot, both inside and out, and the offense has been very efficient.

It is difficult to prevent them from scoring, but Frank's solution is to attack against attack!
Our defense is not as good as the opponent's, so we can only fight for our own strengths. At the same time, Frank has strengthened his defense against Frank, trying not to let this guy catch the ball.

No one wants to see a man with a ridiculously good touch shoots non-stop. In order to defend Tim Hardaway Jr., Frank even sent Matt Barnes and Metta World Peace's double defensive forwards to limit Tim Hardaway Jr. Hardaway.

The result was that Tim Hardaway Jr. played for more than 3 minutes in the second quarter without receiving a ball.

The Eagles' previous record was 3 wins and 0 losses. Like the Lakers, they have not lost a single game. They also want to get this victory to stabilize their ranking.
