I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 519 Dangerous!

This year's All-Star news came out relatively early, mainly because of the restructuring and the need to warm up.

However, as soon as the content of this restructuring came out, it was unanimously approved by many fans.

After all, it's not just that the players are tired of playing the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference, but the audience is also tired of watching the same show every year. Now it's so good, it's suspenseful, exciting, and topical.

Much better than before.

The reformed All-Star has attracted a lot of attention, and the game still has to go on.

The Lakers' next opponent is the Golden State Warriors, and they will play two games in a row. They will first go to the Bay Area as a guest, and then they will return to Los Angeles on the second day. On the third day, they will also be at the Staples Ball The museum continued to fight the Warriors.

Speaking of it, Xu Xuan is also a bit speechless. This season, the Lakers and the Warriors have a total of four games, but three of them were played within one month after the start of the game, and the remaining one was played by the Lakers this season. Game 82.
This schedule is really ecstasy, either don't play, or play enough, but there is still a contest between the two sides arranged in the last game of the regular season. This will not be safe in the playoffs
However, the Lakers carry the power of fifteen consecutive victories. If they are afraid of the Warriors, they won't be able to. They have won one game before, and the Lakers are still very confident in winning the second game.

"Everyone."

In the pre-match meeting, Frank clapped his hands after watching the last game of the Warriors, and attracted everyone's attention: "You all saw it, everyone. In the last game of the Warriors, no one scored 30 points alone. , even as long as a player with 25 points scored a total of 120 points in one game, what is the concept? That is to say, if they want, these 120 points can be turned into 130 points, or even 140 points .”

Frank knocked on the table and glanced around: "Don't think I'm alarmist, their Stephen, their Clay, go all out, 30 points, 40 points, do you think it is difficult for them?"

Coach, you think highly of them. Even if they get 30 or 40 points, it's not so easy. Of course, that's on the premise that they feel good. Xu Xuan kept silent and let Frank continue to play.

Can't you sweep the face of your head coach?

But Xu Xuan didn't take it seriously, but the rest of the Lakers were not as relaxed as him.

The Warriors are still a very strong opponent for them. It can be said that in the hearts of all Western teams, the Warriors are undoubtedly ranked first, and even stronger than the Spurs can only be ranked second.

The Warriors are currently recognized as the strongest team in the league!

It is estimated that there will be many people who refute it last season, but this season, no one really refutes it.

After Durant joined, he has made up for the last shortcoming of the Warriors.

This is a flawless warrior!

"Look at their last game, Clay scored 25 points and Stephen only scored 22 points. The two combined for 29 shots and scored 47 points. I don't need to say more about this efficiency?" Frank continued rhythm.

Praise first and make them feel pressured. This is called restraining desire and raising first.

"They are a powerful team. They currently have a record of 14 games and only lost two games. They are the only team in the league with the Big Four. They have a strength that makes the whole league tremble, but" Frank said Glancing around, seeing everyone's serious faces, he felt that the "up" was almost done, and he was about to start "suppressing".

The rest of the Lakers looked up. Xu Xuan looked at Frank silently. Here comes the show.
"However, they are so strong, but they are defeated by us." Frank laughed: "They lost 14 of 2 games, and we won all 15 games. Their record in the league is second, and our record in the league is first!"

Enough to hang!Frank, if you say that, Cole will beat you to death. Xu Xuan grinned.

But the rest of the Lakers laughed and saw the head coach saying that about the opponent, regardless of other things, they were quite happy. At least it meant that they were really not afraid.

"Many people outside said this time that we are about to lose the number one position in the league, because we will lose all of the next two games." Frank waved his hand: "I don't believe it anyway, I don't know if you believe this statement , Moreover, not only do I not believe it, I also think that we will win both games!

Do you believe this? "

"letter!"

What I got was naturally a high-spirited roar, and my emotions were mobilized.

Lao Fu did a good job, this chicken soup for the soul can be used. Xu Xuan complained in his heart. He still remembered that when he was in the Pacers in his first year, Lao Fu could only say "team, team, team", and he was very friendly. Serious, but now, obviously, it has changed a lot
That's right.

In Xu Xuan's heart, this is the kind of head coach he wants. Tactics are only one aspect of the coach, and in basketball games, tactics are important, but they are far less like football games and rugby games. In basketball games, skills and tactics are only important. It can account for about 20%, the remaining 30% is in formation, and 50% depends on the players.

This is why basketball coaches are not as popular as football coaches
"I am very confident in this game, especially after watching the video of their last game. The stronger they are, the more we can win! They are powerful, and we win the best! And we have one more advantage over them , even if we lose in the next game, we will win the next game, the number one in the league is still ours, and they still can't take it away! We have fault tolerance, but they don't!"

Coach, if you say that they will be inflated, you should say that we are doomed, and go to stimulate them. Xu Xuan muttered in his heart.

However, there is nothing wrong with Frank's approach. This is to analyze the situation clearly and tell you everything so that you can be prepared.

"Xu, Russell, Matt, Randall, Yi, the five of you will start this game, and the others will be ready to play at any time. This will be a wonderful game, and it will be a difficult one." Contest!"

Frank arranged the starting roster, and Ingram silently lowered his head and sighed, there was no him in this game.
However, he also understands that Frank is not a crony person, what he values ​​is ability, and Barnes is better than him in both defense and offense. In normal games, Frank will also give him a chance to start, but like In this kind of crucial game, what Frank needs to make sure is nothing goes wrong!
They are already in Golden State now. This is a back-to-back game. After playing the Thunder last night and resting overnight, they set off for Golden State early this morning.

At 7 p.m., the game begins at Oracle Arena.

In the previous game, the Lakers were at home. This is the first time they have come to the home of the Warriors this season. As soon as the Lakers came out of the player tunnel, they felt the frenzied atmosphere. The entire Oracle Arena, The 20000-person venue was all wearing Warriors home jerseys!

This kind of basketball atmosphere is not bad compared to the Staples Arena, among other things.

"It is said that the Warriors' market value and reputation have soared in recent years, and they are no worse than our teams. Looking at it this way, it seems not exaggerated." Ci Shiping was very interested, chatting with Barnes.

"The Warriors have indeed accumulated a lot of reputation in the past few years, and they can be regarded as some of the current pacesetters in the league." Barnes nodded.

There are only a few pacesetters. Strictly speaking, the Warriors do not have a strong background like Los Angeles and the Celtics, but the market value has indeed soared relatively quickly in recent years.

In recent years, the Warriors have taken the limelight because of Curry's sudden appearance. In fact, no one has ever thought that a No. 7 pick in the first round can transform to where it is today. In a sense, Curry's growth trajectory It is a bit similar to Xu Xuan, but Xu Xuan's side is faster and more aggressive.

"This is also a battle between dragons and tigers!" Looking at the players on both sides who had already started warming up, the four commentators of TNT were also ready.

"There is no doubt that the Warriors want revenge. They lost to the Lakers before, and this is one of the few games they lost. Therefore, the Warriors must want to win back, and this first and second Between the two, the gap is quite large, if possible, the Warriors must want to be the first, not the second." Kenny Smith said.

No one wants to be second, and no one can remember second. This is the most touching point for the Warriors who won 73 wins last season.

"I think Kenny, you are right. The Warriors must have revenge in this game. I read Green's twitter before the game. He said that he will not be as impulsive as before in this game, leading to being sent off. , but I'm afraid he may not be able to bear it." O'Neill laughed.

The Lakers defeated the Warriors in the last game. In many people's eyes, a large part of the reason was that Green was sent off for a criminal. The Warriors lost the core axis and lost that game.

It actually makes sense to think so. Where is the strength of the Warriors' lineup?
They are strong because they have no weaknesses anywhere.

And if there is a missing link in this perfect lineup, it will not work, let alone Green.

If Durant can only be regarded as icing on the cake, then Green is too critical. Without him, many tactics of the Warriors can only exist in fantasy, and there is no way to implement them.

Therefore, including the Warriors players, they were dissatisfied with losing the previous game.

They don't even think that they will lose the second game!

Curry is at home here, so he took the initiative to come over and say hello to Xu Xuan.

"How about it, are you ready to be beaten by me?" Curry still looked dishonest.

"Stephen, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why, is your skin thick enough to resist?" Xu Xuan rolled his eyes.

Curry put his arms around Xu Xuan's shoulders, pouted his mouth around: "I didn't scare you, look, tens of thousands of people on my side are watching, waiting for me to kill you!"

"Then I can barely look forward to it? Stephen, you won't lie to me this time, will you? Last time you said you were going to kill you, but I washed my neck and you dropped me."

"."

Curry choked, Xu Xuan's yin and yang language level is indeed high enough
"Just be arrogant Xu, I will definitely kill you in this game!" Curry said viciously, and wiped his neck.

After the harsh words, the two teams entered the playing session.

The lineup of the Lakers has come out, and the Warriors have quickly arranged the lineup.

They are Curry, Clay, Durant, Green and Zaza Pachulia.

The Warriors are also starting with all the main players!

"Beep!"

The referee signaled to the players on both sides to take their positions and the game was about to start.

The 20000 spectators at the scene gradually fell silent.

The Lakers are all wearing yellow jerseys with purple borders, while the Warriors are royal blue with white borders.

There is a clear distinction between the two sides.

The referee started directing the jump ball, and Yi Jianlian and Zaza Pachulia stepped onto the midfield line.

Old rivals, the referee just threw the ball into the air, and the two jumped almost at the same time——

Compared with Zaza, Yi Jianlian's athletic ability is obviously better, so in the end, Yi Jianlian succeeded in jumping the ball, and the Lakers made the first attack.

Xu Xuan brought it up from the frontcourt, and Clay was still defending him.

The Warriors have the strongest perimeter defense.

Xu Xuan took a small step to one step beyond the three-point line and stood still.

Clay stared at Xu Xuan cautiously.

Don't dare to be careless, if you are a little careless, Xu Xuan will be gone.
Small steps to adjust the rhythm, there is still a difference between playing the Warriors and the Spurs, the Spurs will make you feel that no matter how you play, you are in their expectations, and you can compete with the Warriors who are more fierce!

First attack!
Xu Xuan raised his head and glanced at Clay, then suddenly turned his head to look to the left, Clay was instantly attracted attention, but at this time, Xu Xuan rushed directly from the right side, the first attack, no shot, and a direct breakthrough!
"Flanker! Flank! Flank!" Cole roared from the sidelines.

There is help defense inside.

As soon as Xu Xuan tricked Clay, Green and Zaza Pachulia came out from the inside——

Looking forward to it.

Xu Xuan looked at the position between himself and them.

Green was the closest to him, with his arms outstretched in front of him, ready to relay Clay, while the inside line Zaza had already stood in position, waiting for Xu Xuan to rush over.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind.

And looking at Green's posture, he is not prepared to let himself pass the test at all.

Xu Xuan was not in a hurry. This is his advantage. No matter what the situation is, he can calm down quickly. Moreover, he just wanted to test the Warriors' defensive strength for this ball.

If they don't break through, how do they know their defensive strength?

In the blink of an eye, Xu Xuan was about to rush to the paint area, and Green had already defended himself, supporting Xu Xuan with one hand, and blocking Xu Xuan's head with the other hand, interfering with his sight.

Xu Xuan sank into rhythm, dribbled the ball quickly under his hands, and directly changed hands and changed directions in front of his body——

A set of very fast moves was launched, but it still failed to break through Green's defense. At this time, Xu Xuan's breakthrough space was compressed to the extreme, and it seemed that there was no danger of even dribbling space!
