I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 559 Who wants to be the second child every day?

After thinking about it, Xu Xuan still mentioned this matter to Frank.

This deal is still operational, and the chips paid by the Lakers may not necessarily be the three that Xu Xuan just mentioned.

You can talk about everything.

If the emperor can really be traded, then the Lakers will be able to form a combination of Xu Xuan + Ingram + Embiid's outside line + forward line + inside line in the next few years.

How to say this lineup is full of imagination!
The most important thing is that Ingram and Embiid do not occupy the ball. They are both good support candidates, and Xu Xuan can play freely with peace of mind.

However, Frank is not very optimistic about this deal. Even if the 76ers make an offer, the hope of this deal is not great.

People have already called the "Double Emperors Combination", and now Embiid is traded?
Leave it alone.

Doesn't that mean that Philadelphia's previous "endurance" has become a joke?

Having said that, Frank is also looking forward to the lineup proposed by Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan + Ingram and Embiid who have grown up are really beautiful when you think about it.
In the end, the Lakers won the game.

The score was 100-89.

The Lakers won fairly easily, mainly because Xu Xuan led the team to play a 10-0 wave in the third quarter, which directly opened up the point difference. The 76ers' offensive ability is not weak, but in terms of scoring ability. How many points can the inside line get?
Just relying on Embiid to dig one by one, how many points will he score next year?

The inside line has never been known for scoring more points, it depends on dominance.

And who is the main scoring force for the 76ers now?
Substitute Ersan Ilyasova
And Robert Covington.
Dario Saric
Relying on these people to play soy sauce, playing role players is okay, really let them play 30+ minutes a game as the main force.

In this game, Embiid scored the highest score on the 76ers' side, but he said he scored the highest score, but he actually didn't exceed 20. He made 14 of 7 shots, including 4 of 2 three-pointers. He scored 19 points, 2 assists, and 8 points. rebound.

The free throw rate is relatively low, only 8 of 3, and only 37.5% of the free throws.

除了他以外，76人这边得分最高的考文顿和奥卡福的14分以及伊利亚索瓦的12分、施陶斯卡斯的11分.除此以外76人这边就没有人得分上双了看起来很是惨淡。

After a game, no one scored 20 points. It can only be said that the scoring ability of the team is too bad, so bad that it is too bad to look directly at
"As a young team, the Philadelphia 76ers seem to have a long way to go. Their current lineup has great talent potential, but now Simmons has been unable to return to the team, relying on Embiid alone. People can't afford such a heavy burden." Barkley said: "Of course, they still need a reliable scorer. After Simmons returns to the team, I think it will be a very good help to the team's offensive end, but it is very difficult. It's a pity that not everyone is Xu Xuan. The strength of Simmons lies in sorting out the team. Neither he nor Embiid is actually a very strong scorer, so I think our current goal should be No. [-] The top signings."

Pure No. [-] position, pure scorer, with Simmons in the organization and Embiid inside, the overall lineup is perfect.

And the current 76ers, not to mention Simmons, are full of role players as scorers. It is too difficult to count on them.

As for the Lakers, Xu Xuan only played for 10 minutes, but there was a wave of 0-28 in the third quarter. In this game, he still scored 8 points, 4 assists, and [-] rebounds. It seemed easy Loose, no effort at all.

This is the gap. Barkley also said this: "You are all saying that I have no brains to blow Xu Xuan all day long, but in fact what I said is true. In terms of scoring ability, Xu Xuan leads 99.9% of the league. people."

Only a small group of people at the top may not be weaker than Xu Xuan, but if they are better than Xu Xuan, Barkley can definitely put the microphone in his mouth.

After the game, Xu Xuan chatted with Embiid. This kid was a little flustered. Maybe he was called "The Great Emperor", and his mentality was inflated after being called too much. He seemed to ignore Xu Xuan because he lost the game. I want to spray Xu Xuan a few words
Is this hanger really out of his mind?

Or lack of EQ?

Who are you?Who is Xu Xuan?

Can't see where I am, can I?
But after thinking about it, there is no need for others to treat you like that, and they are not ready to be your little brother.
Defeating the 76ers, the Lakers' record has come to 25 wins and 4 losses.

At the same time, the Warriors are 23-4 and the Spurs are 21-5.

The Lakers are still No. 1 in the league, leading the Warriors by 2.5 game and leading the Spurs by [-] games.

The Spurs may not be able to catch up for a while, but the Warriors' record is already quite close to the Lakers, only one win away.

In the next game, if the Lakers lose and the Warriors win, then the records of the two teams will become 25 wins and 5 losses and 24 wins and 4 losses, then the records of the two teams will be tied, and the Warriors just played less than the Lakers Two games, but the win margin is the same.

And their next opponent for seven consecutive trips, the Cleveland Cavaliers, currently has a record of 18 wins and 6 losses, which is still far behind.

Cleveland Cavaliers.

This is the first time the two teams have met this season.

To be honest, not only the players on both sides, but also the media reporters and fans have been looking forward to this game for a long time.

No one knows what kind of sparks James will have when he meets Xu Xuan for the first time in the new season.

But as far as the current record is concerned, the Lakers must be better, leading the Cavaliers by nearly 4.5 games!
But the Cavaliers are not soft persimmons, and they can't be black if they don't brag. Although I don't know when, James' nickname changed from "Little Emperor" to "Thirty-year-old man".

But 32 years old is no longer young for most NBA players, and for James, the years never seem to cause him any trouble, just like the Oscar actor Day Lewis, who is at the peak of his debut, at the age of 56 he can still With "Lincoln", he became the first actor in history to win the Oscar winner three times.

And James is also in the 14th year of his career, still standing at the pinnacle of this competitive league. While surpassing one celebrity after another in his career, he has also become a superstar of the younger generation in active service. That is, the catch-up object.

How important is James to the Cavaliers?

Since James returned to Cleveland in the 14th season, the Cavaliers have only won four games in the absence of James. This season, they have lost all games in the absence of James. James can be seen more intuitively through his performance on the court In the time he was off the field, the team instantly changed from a top supercar to a classic car in the 80s.

It's not that Owen and Love can't
Well, they're really bad.
After experiencing the ending of being almost slammed by Xu Xuan last season, Irving learned from the pain. It seems that this season, after the baptism of the finals and a serious knee injury, Irving has already lost his game skills and mental state. Step up to a whole new stage in your career.

As for the combination of Irving and James to continue to dominate the league in the future and for Irving to continue to carry the banner of the Cavaliers in the post-James era, some people in the industry, especially Cavaliers fans, also seem to be more and more confident.

This season, at least from the data point of view, Irving is still improving.

Averaged 25.2 points per game, a career high; averaged 19.7 shots per game and 9.3 hits, a career high; averaged 47.3% field goal percentage and 90.5% free throw percentage per game, also career highs.

On the surface, there seems to be no need to worry about everything. Irving is still the most feared scoring weapon in the league. With him, the Cavaliers still have enough confidence to compete for the championship.However, behind the gorgeous appearance, there are some inexplicable problems that are faintly troubling Owen.

This season, Irving averaged 5.8 assists per game, which is higher than in the past two years, but a general impression is that Irving is now on the rise, and the echoes between him and his teammates, especially James is decreasing.Sure enough, another piece of data supports the speculation of the good-for-nothings-so far this season, Irving's possession rate has reached 30.7%, creating a new career high.You know, such a high percentage has never appeared even when Irving led the team with a single core.

What is this concept?
In the 10 rounds, Irving shot three times by himself, not to mention how many of the remaining times were related to him.
All these phenomena can only indicate one problem. That is, Owen wants to be the boss!
If you can choose, no one wants to be the second child, and everyone wants to be the boss. Do you really think it is fun to go in and out all day long and explore the secluded forest?

Maybe the tree-lined path you go in and out now will be covered with another white dew in the morning and evening.
It's not been a day or two since Owen wanted to be the boss. He quoted a sentence called: Sima Zhaozhi's heart is well known.

This point is clear to some fans who understand it, the Cavaliers management knows it, and James knows it in his heart.

So what's the current situation for the Cavaliers?
a bit incoherent
James is very clear about Owen's thoughts. He is very clear about what this little brother who he is very optimistic about even once regarded him as his successor thinks.

But so what?
First of all, he couldn't convince Owen, nor did he have any reason to convince him to stay and continue to be his "second child"
How to say?
Say I'm getting old, you follow, sooner or later my place will be yours?

Fuck it, now the whole world knows that the future of the alliance is Xu Xuan's Owen, who had this idea at first, but after being abused a few times, he gave up.
Now unless Xu Xuan is suddenly injured. Suffered the same injury as Rose before, otherwise, Owen feels that his hope of succeeding James is basically zero
Then there is another way, and that is to win the championship.

Irving is not short of money. In terms of making money, how can he be short of money as the No.
So, the contract doesn't matter to him, he wants the championship.

James knew in his heart that if they defeated the Pacers to reach the finals last season and then won the championship, maybe Irving would not have left. Why?
Now that you have a champion, you can build a dynasty.

In that way, what James said is also credible. After all, the championship has been won and the dynasty has been established. When James is older, maybe this alliance is really his pity.

The person who reached the finals was not him, but the Pacers.

It's fine if I treat you as your "second child" every day, even if I can't win the championship, why should I hang out with you?

Wouldn't it be nice for me to go out and be the boss?
If you can be the boss, you must choose to be the boss.

That's what Owen is thinking now.

Because James is very clear, he attaches great importance to the team's performance this season!
Because once Irving is gone, no matter who comes, it is basically useless, and it can basically be announced in advance that his original rhetoric of "bringing the championship back to Cleveland" is all bullshit.
So James is enduring.

Even if Owen behaved too much, he still endured.

Only when I can't stand it, I will stand outside properly, but when Irving starts to "snap his teeth", he immediately retreats again. This is why the current atmosphere in the Cavaliers team is very strange. The boss and the second seem to be in harmony. , it is not surprising that there are ghosts.

For example, you saw a very beautiful young lady today, and then the two of you made an appointment to have a heart-to-heart talk in a place where no one was around. Your second child disagreed, saying that he also wants to climb the peak, and he is really tired from exploring the forest all day long. The more it becomes a noodle, the softer it is, the boss will be happy?
He probably had his heart cut on the spot.

James is now patiently procrastinating, and trying to delegate power to Irving.

Why?

Because even if Irving wants to leave, it won't be this season. Irving still wants to fight back.

So when the goals of the two are completely unified, James' emotional intelligence prompted him to make a change.

And let's talk about another star of the Cavaliers.

Kevin Love.

Last season, Love seemed to still be out of the system after coming to the Cavaliers for more than a year. Due to his weight loss, he struggled on both ends of the offense and defense.

Whether it is under David Blatt or when Tyronn Lue is in charge of the coaching position, here he has to adapt to the off-ball style of play and the new system. The rehabilitation problem after the shoulder injury troubles Love. His own game rhythm always seems to be muddled on the court.

Began to be afraid of the ball passed from his teammates, and the three-pointers from the corners that were handy during the Timberwolves period could not be shot into the damn basket anyway. The title of team cancer began to float into Love’s ears. The giant seems to be a burden for him.

What followed was constant doubts from the fans, and even more extreme fans initiated fundraising requests on social platforms before the start of the playoffs to ask Love not to play.During the playoffs, Love still did not regain his form. In the playoffs, his mid-range and post-up skills were suddenly lost. His two-point shooting rate was only 36%, so that opponents began to appear in the rotation defense. The scene where Le Fu takes two steps.
