I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 612 Thrilling moment!
"Hey, Nikolai, long time no see." Xu Xuan greeted Jokic.

"Long time no see, Xu." Jokic smiled and hugged Xu Xuan.

Both are rookies in the 2014 class, and both are second-round picks. Xu Xuan's pick is a little higher than Jokic.

Speaking of Xu Xuan's second-round pick this year, there are still many high-quality players, such as Dinwiddie and Clarkson, both of whom were in the 14th round of the show.

Xu Xuan and Jokic are not very familiar, but they are both first-year players, and they can chat a few things.

"I heard that you will also participate in this year's Rookie Challenge?" Xu Xuan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes." Jokic grinned and nodded.

"Then you have to be careful, man, the boys in our team said that one wants to win and the other wants to win MVP. I will tell you secretly that I accidentally saw their "must kill list" before. You are the first One." Xu Xuan shook his head, pointed at Russell and Ingram who were warming up near the bench, and said, "However, although they are my teammates, I still hope that you can teach them well when the time comes, the international team Must win!"

"Really?" Jokic was also amused, glanced over there, then turned his head and shook hands with Xu Xuan, and shook his hand vigorously: "Thank you for your support, Xu."

"Hahaha, as long as you are happy, I will go to the scene to cheer for you!" Xu Xuan was also happy.

The two smiled at each other and retreated to their warm-up venue.

In the distance, Russell and Ingram got together for a rare moment, muttering, "What did the boss say to that idiot? He looks very happy anyway."

"I saw them all looking at us just now, what do you mean?"

"I don't understand, but the boss can chat with a fool? You really deserve to be the boss."

"." Hearing this, Russell glanced at Ingram silently, then distanced himself silently, walked away to the side, Brandon, we had a good chat, you suddenly licked my liver pain.
Game start.

The Lakers are still at home.

The Staples Arena was full of Zijin Dynasty fans who came to watch the game.

On the sports channel, Duan Ran and Su Junyang were responsible for explaining the match.

They also chatted about the upcoming All-Star game.

"These two teams stand together are really talented. Let's not talk about the Lakers. Russell and Ingearm, as long as they don't get injured, they are basically determined to enter the Rookie Challenge. Larry Nance also has a chance, and the Nuggets, Murray and Jokic will definitely be able to go in, and Hernangomez also has a chance." Su Junyang said with a smile in his familiar tone.

"A little older, look at Randall, Nurkic, including Xu Xuan, are all players in the 14th class."

"Hey, it would be a long way to say it's old, our Xu Xuan is young, hahahaha." Duan Ran also echoed.

"But this is true. There are many young players on both sides, and this talent is really amazing!"

"Jokic's performance during this period is too hot. He was obviously Nurkic's substitute before, but now he has successfully corrected the number one position?"

"That's right, the Nuggets started with Jokic in recent games, but he still played very well and was very spiritual. I heard that the Nuggets are not just putting Nurkic on the bench now, but also We are going to trade him." Su Junyang said.

"I've also heard about this. The Nuggets have a lot of high-quality insiders. If you keep them, you'll just keep them. It's a waste of resources. It's better to trade them and get someone else to increase the depth of the team." Duan Ran said.

"It's a pity that Nurkic is also a fierce player."

"That depends on who to compare with." Su Junyang said: "If compared with some role players, Nurkic must be good, but if compared with a player like Jokic, it would not be a pity to trade, why? , there is a better substitute, so naturally I won’t feel bad after the trade.”

"Who is Jokic now? I just read a report earlier, saying that after five years, the league's center structure, the Timberwolves' Towns is undoubtedly the first, and the 76ers' Embiid is the first. Second, the third is Jokic. Those are the two No. [-] picks."

That's right, Towns was the No. [-] pick, and if Embiid hadn't been injured, he would have been the No. [-] pick with a high probability. You must know that this guy has announced that he will be reimbursed for the season, and he can still be selected in the third place. If he is not injured If you are not the number one scholar, no one will believe it.

And Jokic can be ranked with these two, even if it is third, it is very surprising.

Jokic is a second-round pick, but when he thinks that Xu Xuan is also a second-round pick, there seems to be no problem.

"This Nuggets team, if Nurkic is really traded out in exchange for a plug-and-play outside veteran, let alone, the Nuggets lineup is not bad."

Now the Nuggets have Jokic on the inside, Murray and Mudiay on the outside, Gallinari as a pitcher, and Faried on defense.

"Not to mention, it's really like that. Now there is a lack of an experienced veteran on the outside to help Jokic control the field. If the deal is really like what we said, it can't be done. Next year, the Nuggets will A strong team in the West."

Speaking of which, the game has already begun.

For the Lakers, Yi Jianlian, Nick Young, and Barnes are all resting today, so Frank also made some adjustments in the starting lineup, sending Xu Xuan, Wesley Matthews, Ingram, Lan Del and Zubac's starting lineup.

Russell was put into the second team by Frank, and today Russell plays the second team.

No way, Barnes and Nick Young are absent, the second team not only lacks possession points, but also lacks scoring points.

For the Nuggets, Jokic started at the center, the two guards were Will Barton and Mudiay, and the forwards were Gallinari and Orc Faried.

Xu Xuanneng noticed that Nurkic, who was sitting on the bench, was a little unhappy, his brows were frowned, and his position was also on the edge, far away from his teammates.

That's right, he was obviously a starter, but he suddenly became a substitute, and he was not happy for anyone, not to mention that Nurkic still has the strength to start.

Jokic and Zubac jump the ball.

Zubac is 216 tall and weighs 110 kg.

Here, Jokic's official data reports a height of 208 and a weight of 113 kg.

It stands to reason that Zubac should be a little taller than Jokic, but when the two stood together, Xu Xuan instantly felt that he was not well. This B also falsely reported the data, right?
Your height of 208 is not much shorter than Zubac's 216?

And this weighs .113 kg?Are you kidding me?

You are 113 kg?

You are two laps older than Zubac.
Xu Xuan was a little speechless. Now I really can't look at the official data. It's all fake and full of moisture.

Relying on "fake data", Jokic successfully squeezed Zubac, who was taller than him, and the Nuggets got the ball.

First attack.

Mudiay led the frontcourt, and Jokic mentioned the high receiving organization.

Zubac didn't keep up. His defensive ability in the high position is limited, so Frank simply doesn't let him out. Frank's strategy is to defend Zubac at the basket. Once Jokic mentions the high position, then use Lan Del came to defend. Although he was a little short, his speed and reaction could keep up.

Jokic held the ball in a high position, first turned around, observed the situation on the court, and then suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball.

On the wing, Gallinari made an air cut to the basket, Zubac missed the defense, Gallinari easily put in the basket and scored two points.

"Look, this is the role of Jokic on the court, it is so spiritual." Su Junyang praised.

"This is the sense of smell of the stars, and it is also the passing position that only the stars can see." Duan Ran echoed.

The game continues, the Lakers attack.

Xu Xuan sent the ball to Zubac, and Zubac sent the ball.

Xu Xuan quickly advanced past halftime.

The Nuggets lineup is very tall, but because of this, the speed will slow down, so Xu Xuan will play fast when he comes up, and check the opponent's arrangement first.

"You go over there, Brandon." Xu Xuan directed Ingram to the bottom corner. On the way, he just made a pick-and-roll with Zubac who came in. After Zubac helped Ingram pick-and-roll, he immediately went down At the basket, Xu Xuan threw in a high throw. Jokic's position had been blocked by Randall in the high position on the right. All power forward Faried was blocked by Randall.

The young man's face was flushed, and although he only lasted for a moment, he was pushed away by Faried arbitrarily, but Zubac still seized the opportunity, turned around and scored a one-handed dunk.

2: 2.

Seeing Randall's flushed cheeks that haven't gone down for a long time, Xu Xuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "How is it, did you feel stressed just now?"

"...big" Randall said honestly.

Jokic was okay, he was resisted for a moment and found that Randall was a little hard, so he lost interest and didn't go in, but Faried really didn't care, and rushed in blindly, The half-orcs didn't bark for nothing, and Randall's chest still hurts now.

Turn your head.

The Nuggets attacked, Jokic made a mid-range jumper, and was interfered by Xu Xuan who switched defenses——

Jokic's style of play is not that strong. He always accepts as soon as he sees a good situation. The timing of Xu Xuan's pounce on this ball is still ripe. Enter.

"Rebound, rebound, rebound!!!" Xu Xuan yelled three times in a row, and he yelled as well before rushing to the basket to grab the rebound.

The basket was full of big men, and Zubac and Randall on the Lakers didn't turn around to attack, and each of them got stuck. When Xu Xuan rushed over, there was no cover in front of him, and he grabbed the rebound.

"Get down! Get down! Get down!!!"

Accompanied by Frank's urgent voice, Xu Xuan turned and ran after getting the rebound.

This is accelerated!

Except for Zubac, the Lakers all accelerated to the frontcourt.

The Nuggets also want to follow, but they are all tall and strong men. How can they compare with Xu Xuan and Ingram in terms of speed?

He was easily left behind, and Xu Xuan didn't score by himself. He threw his hands to Ingram who followed up. The thin Ingram jumped up from the ground and scored with a dunk with both hands!
2:4, the Lakers counterattacked.

"This fast break is pleasing to the eye, hahaha." Su Junyang admired, and was immediately amused by Xu Xuan's actions, "What is Xu Xuan doing? Throw the ball to Ingram and turn to look at the bench , Hahaha, isn't he afraid that the goal will not be scored?"

Duan Ran couldn't help but smile as he looked at it. Xu Xuan's appearance just now was really funny. As soon as he threw the ball, he turned around and looked at the bench. Immediately turned around and ran back, making the fans on the sidelines laugh.

"This is a very relaxed state of mind. Xu Xuan is telling you that I didn't use my full strength during the regular season, so you all have to be careful." Su Junyang said.

"With this mentality, I don't worry about the Lakers' strategic and tactical problems at all. The core players are so relaxed, and the others probably won't be too tense."

"This kind of mentality can only be possessed by people of a certain level. You can see that even Durant and Curry are not so relaxed when they play games. I only saw this kind of relaxed mentality in Kobe in the last two seasons. .”

Kobe didn't care about winning or losing, but Xu Xuan was purely relaxed.

The game continues.

The Nuggets are still handed over to Jokic in the high-level organization, and Mudiay only acts as a tool man who dribbles the ball across the half.

After looking at the defensive matchup, Jokic pondered for a moment, then suddenly withdrew to the three-point line, and made a direct jumper——

"Shh!"

A direct hit with a three-pointer!

A sudden outside attack, Randall didn't react at all, and saw the ball flying from the sky.

5:4.

When it was the Lakers' turn, Xu Xuan still went on a fast break. Taking advantage of the Nuggets' defense not being fully settled, he made two moves in three and did not need anyone to cooperate. With the strong block of the half-orc Faried, he slammed the ball into the basket——

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two consecutive loud bangs.

Xu Xuan, whose muscles were bulging and full of impact, didn't love Faried at all, he just did it hard!

"boom!"

Under Xu Xuan's huge strength, the basketball fell into the basket like a meteor. Although Xu Xuan was blocked in front of the basket by Faried, the ball still stuck to the side and smashed in.

At the same time, Xu Xuan, who had a fierce physical conflict with Faried, could no longer control his body and fell to the ground. With huge inertia, he fell to the floor——

Coincidentally, Faried was fine in the future, but accidentally tripped Jokic beside him!
Under this force, Jokic involuntarily fell backwards——

"Danger!!!!"

Xu Xuan exclaimed instantly.

His position is lower than Faried, so he can see the direction of Jokic's fall for the first time.

That's where the basketball hoop is! ! ! ! !
