I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 488 Seven consecutive victories! "Soft"

Seven consecutive victories!
The Lakers have become the only team in the league with two consecutive victories!
So far, the Spurs have lost two games, the Warriors have lost two games, the Clippers have lost one game in five games, the Trail Blazers have lost two games, and the Eastern Raptors, Wizards and other teams have their own victories.

Only two teams still maintain a record of undefeated and undefeated!

The Lakers are one of them!

The other is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Now everyone is guessing which of these two teams will break the game first, the Lakers or the Cavaliers.

"I think it's the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers look very stable, but they are not that stable. Look at the games they won, 94 to 91, beating the Raptors by three points; 102 to 101, beating the 76ers by one point, The biggest point difference in these few games was the first game against the Knicks, but everyone knows the Knicks, and I have never doubted whether the Lakers can make the playoffs. Xu Xuan's ability to lead the team, Everyone has already seen it last season. As long as you don’t make mistakes, there should be no big problem in reaching the playoffs. But I really didn’t expect them to have a seven-game winning streak so far. Even in my previous expectations, In the first six games, the Lakers are lucky to win one game."

On TNT TV station, Kenny Smith gushed and analyzed.

"The lineup of the Cavaliers looks very good, with one star and four shooters. James is alone and there are all pitchers outside, but if they don't feel good, they will collapse, and the lineup of the Cavaliers is not defensive. Sufficient defensive core, if you encounter Curry and Xu Xuan who open shots like this, whether they can withstand this firepower is a huge problem."

"But the Lakers are different. We say that the Lakers are a very young team, a team that is too young. This kind of young team often has a characteristic. Also very hip-pull.

In other words, if the Lakers win like this, they can keep winning, because their confidence has been played out, no one is afraid, and no one feels that they will lose. In this state, everyone can Give full play to their 100% or even 120% strength, but if they encounter any setbacks, they will be very slow to get up, because they are all inexperienced, expecting teams like the Spurs and Eagles to adjust and change in time may cause them can't do it.

Therefore, for them, either they will continue to win, or they will be terminated and then lost forever. The third possibility is almost nonexistent. "

Barkley and O'Neal agreed with Kenny Smith's words. Indeed, the Lakers won the first six games and won the seventh game. What did they rely on?
It's momentum!

The winning streak!
You must know that in the last game, the role players of the Lakers played better than the role players of the Warriors. The role players of the Warriors headed by Brother Yi have all been baptized in the finals more than once. They are all better than the rookies of the Lakers, but in fact, these rookies have compared Iguodala and the others. This is the momentum!

The Lakers now have an indomitable momentum. Both the feel and the state are better than the Warriors, so they can win in the end.

"Moreover, the next opponents of the two teams are different. The next opponents of the Lakers are the Mavericks, Kings, Pelicans, and Timberwolves. None of these teams is on the playoff team list, that is to say , At least in the next four games, the Lakers' opponents are not that strong.

As for the Cavaliers, the next opponents are the Hawks, Wizards, Hornets, and Raptors. Unfortunately, the four opponents of the Cavaliers, except for one Hornets, are all predicting the playoffs. on the list
Relatively speaking, the game between the two sides must be more difficult for the Cavaliers. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to say that they will definitely win and maintain a winning streak. Any accidents may happen. "

Kenny Smith continued, changing the subject.

"But it would be fun if the Lakers really went on a winning streak and the Cavaliers were terminated."

His words were playful: "The Cavaliers are terminated, and the Lakers' winning streak is more than that. It is estimated that someone on a certain station is about to cry."

"Hahaha, they deserve to cry to death. Who makes them like to talk hard?" Barkley laughed loudly: "Put the Lakers in the eighth place, and Xu Xuan out of the top five. The people from a certain station are getting slapped in the face now." Swollen."

Barkley was the happiest. At that time, all major TV stations were ranking players and teams. TNT and ESPN were two extremes. TNT ranked Xu Xuan first, while ESPN ranked Xu Xuan first. out of the top five.

ESPN is also extremely unfavorable about the team's strength, ranking the Lakers ninth. This is a disgusting ranking.

O'Neal said: "If the Lakers really continue to win consecutively, it will definitely help the growth of these role players. If you lose, if you lose too much, you will lose confidence."

"Win more, let them know what it feels like to win, and they will chase that feeling themselves."

Kenny Smith and Barkley nodded, and Barkley suddenly said, "By the way, have you read that tweet from that little guy?"

"You mean the one from the Kings?"

"Yes, it's him."

"See, what do you want to say Charles."

"I don't want to say anything, I just think, young players should not say these things now, maybe you think so, but there is no need to say it to let everyone know, just play your game as a young player, play your ball well Now, do the others have so much to do with him? I don’t think so.” Barkley said bluntly.

The words are not polite, and O'Neal also said: "Most young players like to do their own things well, but only a few people do things. It is your right to speak, but the problem is that no one wants to listen to you."

Ahem, everyone may not understand here. This is because yesterday, after a game, Marquese Chriss, the rookie who was selected by the Kings with the eighth pick this year, said in an interview that it involved a certain something unspeakable.

"The game did not produce results, and there are so many words. I think the young players now really lack enough awe."

"It's better to do less of this kind of thing. You have the right to speak, but it doesn't really mean that you can say anything."

Barkley said seriously: "Look at Xu Xuan, what troubles have you caused so far? Have you done anything you shouldn't have done? I suggest that these young players should learn more from Xu Xuan and do what they should do." Things, concentrate on playing your own game, and do what you have all day long, are you here to play?"

Kenny Smith nodded: "It's true, learn more from Xu Xuan, young players should be like Xu Xuan."

Xu Xuan can be said to be a model for young players.

"The young players today have never experienced any beatings from society. At that time, we were all beaten all the way, so we knew what to do and what not to do. Unlike them, we lived too comfortably. You can get a good annual salary just by playing casually," O'Neill said.

"Hurry up, in two days, the next opponent of the Lakers is the King, that man named Marquese Chriss. I hope you seize the opportunity and learn how to be a good player."

The "model model" in the mouths of O'Neill and Barkley-Xu Xuan didn't know that he had become a "child of other people" in their mouths, and he is now training.

In the gym, the gym in the morning is still very lively. Needless to say Xu Xuan's fame, the people exercising in there recognize it and say hello, "It's Xu!"

"You did a great job yesterday!"

"I heard that you often come to this gym, but what I didn't expect is true."

"Can we take a picture together?"

Xu Xuan satisfied the simple requirements of the "fitness friends", and then noticed that in the empty space inside, there were a group of women in good shape who were exercising... Yoga?
"There is still yoga here?" Xu Xuan asked the "healthy friend" next to him.

"Today seems to be a free experience. The female coach is a guide. Maybe there will be a fee in the future? I think that kind of slow exercise is only suitable for women."

"Jianyou" explained.

Xu Xuan's face darkened when he heard this, and he was about to try whether practicing yoga can improve the sensitivity of the body.

For him, the current training can no longer satisfy him, he needs more now!
Xu Xuan's training is divided into periods.

The training on the sixth day of each cycle is the training of shooting posture and shooting movements. In the shooting force, the cooperation of feet, legs, knees, waist, back, shoulders, elbows, etc. is the key to training. , the further this training method goes, the more difficult it is to complete the training on the sixth day.

However, the more he went to the back, Xu Xuan's own requirements became higher, and his shooting movements became more and more standard.

The morning is the basic training, and in the afternoon, the left mid-range jumper, the right mid-range jumper, the right bottom line hook, the free throw line running hook...a total of 1 movements within an hour with strict requirements Xu Xuan will start three-point training after shooting training is over, but after being promoted from three-point talent to diamond, Xu Xuan feels that he should add some spice to the evening time, and yoga is another training method he thought of.

Yoga can increase the flexibility of the body very well and better prevent injuries.

These big men in the NBA are all muscular men, I will have a "soft" one, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.

However, Xu Xuan's yoga training was not successful. The female instructor was an amateur and not considered a master. Xu Xuan had already told Carson that he should contact a yoga master. .

The training time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the night of the 8th, the last game of the Lakers' three-game home court.

The opponent is the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks have changed a lot this season, but in the absence of a young man with a certain numerical nickname in the future, it is impossible to make a difference just by relying on an old driver.

Speaking of old drivers, after Wade left the Heat this year, Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose also changed clubs; when Kobe and Duncan retired, many people were asking, Dirk Novi Where is the future for Tsky?
The answer is: stay with the Mavericks.

The new contract, the total price increased to 2 million US dollars in 5000 years.

It is reported that the second year of this new contract is a team option, and only $2 million of the 2500 million in the second year is fully guaranteed.

James and Durant chose to stick together in their prime, Wade was expelled in his twilight years, and now there are only a handful of superstars in the league who will die in a team, but Nowitzki and the Mavericks will follow the same path as Duncan and the Spurs, forever Together.

No matter when and where you ask "Dirk's future", Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's answer is always one: "Dirk is not going anywhere."

Cuban once said, "Dirk and Dallas, Dallas and Dirk are synonymous. Dirk stays in Dallas is a non-controversial issue. Dirk will get everything he wants. I will give him whatever he wants,"

When the old driver decided to jump out of the contract this summer, the Mavericks boss even joked: "No matter what Nowitzki wants to do. I have told him that if you want to be the team's head coach, it is absolutely fine. We're going to move Mr. Carlisle a bit. Nowitzki has done so much for this team and he's earned that opportunity."

Previously, the old driver, like Wade and Duncan, took the initiative to cut his salary for the team's reinforcement. The last contract he signed with the Mavericks was only worth 3 million in three years.But he has a deep friendship with Cuban. Compared with Wade and Riley, their relationship is more equal, because they both grew up with the team, and that comradeship sometimes surpasses the relationship between superiors and subordinates.Wade does not get the respect of the Heat, but the Mavericks will never have any contempt for Dirk.

Therefore, even if the Mavericks are not as strong as the Warriors, the Cavaliers or the Spurs, and the prospect of winning the championship is not so good, the old driver is unwilling to leave.He played here for 18 years and left too many unforgettable memories.The team did not force him to leave, and still cherished his contribution so much, and offered a generous enough annual salary offer, so why is there any need to talk about breaking up?
Xu Xuan actually admires such a player who can really stay in one team for a lifetime. This is really not a problem that can be solved by the amount of salary. The first is the player's ability. You must maintain your personal ability for ten years. , otherwise it is not a question of whether you want to leave, if you fail, the team will drive you away.

Secondly, it involves getting along. Just like the old driver and Cuban, they are really friends. This is something Xu Xuan can't do. How much relationship do you think he has with Jenny Buss now?

nonexistent!

Once Xu Xuan's performance is a little bit worse, or Jenny Buss makes troubles, neither side will consider any emotion and face.

That stuff is worthless in the face of profit.

And the old driver and Cuban really became friends and buddies, which is very rare.
