I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 618 If You Were Xu Xuan, How Would You Choose?
Xu Xuan suddenly thought of inviting Jokic to help with special training.

Dayao had mentioned to him before, whether he should use his connections to find a few inside players from the NBA to help with special training.

Xu Xuan also agreed, but there were no good candidates for the time being. Looking at it now, Jokic is quite suitable.

"Then it's settled. When the time comes, I will inform you of the time, and someone will come to talk to you about the salary." Xu Xuan laughed.

After the two had finished eating, Xu Xuan returned home.

He didn't even check the time, so he immediately called Dayao and told him about it.

Dayao is naturally very happy. He is concerned about the NBA. He naturally knows that Jokic is currently a popular player in the league. He is naturally willing to invite him to help the men's basketball team in special training.

After calling Dayao, Xu Xuan also called Yi Jianlian who was on vacation at home and told him about it.

Yi Jianlian didn't care much about this matter. He would have cared a little bit before, but after Xu Xuan was born, he stopped focusing on these trivial matters.

After saying a few words, Xu Xuan hung up the phone.

After this game, the Lakers' record has reached 40 wins!
40 wins and 6 losses, still firmly ranked first in the league.

Xu Xuan also ranked first in the scoring list with an average of 36.0 points per game. If nothing else, there should be no suspense for this year's scoring champion.

The All-Star voting is also in full swing, but many people say that Xu Xuan's vote data can no longer be suppressed. While the position of the top vote is unshakable, many fans are already discussing who Xu Xuan should choose.

The official platform of Hailang Weibo also has a special voting column titled "If you were Xu Xuan, how would you choose?" "

This platform will always be open here, and whoever chooses the most similar to Xu Xuan's final selection, or is exactly the same, will get a cash red envelope reward, limited to 5000 rewards!
As soon as this thing comes out, it doesn't matter whether they know basketball or not, they all shoot like rain.

What is Xu Xuan + Durant + Curry + Harden + Xiaoka's "Ultimate Death Five" lineup, or the all-male combination of Xu Xuan + Alphabet + Xiaoka + Butler + Durant, anyway There are different opinions.

Some people also think that they are thinking too much. This is a one-person selection, and it does not mean that Xu Xuan is selected first and the rest is for James. Therefore, it should be quite difficult to form such a dream-like team. After all, James is not a fool. ah.

As a result, another wave of "reasonable analysis parties" appeared. The lineup they selected has been considered, but where can it really count?

In the end, it depends on Xu Xuan and James' respective wishes.

A few more games followed, and the game in January 2017 was all over.

The Lakers have a record of winning and losing, and the current overall record is 43 wins and 8 losses.

The two games lost were the Nuggets and the Jazz.

In other words, the Lakers have lost two games to the Jazz this season.

Even so, the Lakers are still No. 1 in the league, because when the next Warriors finished all games in January, they had a record of 41 wins and 7 losses. After all, although they lost one game less than the Lakers, they were still worse. 0.5 win difference.

Therefore, the Lakers are still No. [-] in the West and No. [-] in the league.

Ranked third in the West is the Spurs, with a current record of 37 wins and 11 losses, which is worse than the records of the Lakers and Warriors.

On the Eastern side, the first is the Cleveland Cavaliers with 32 wins and 15 losses, the second is the Toronto Raptors with a record of 32 wins and 19 losses, and the third is the Boston Celtics with a record of 30 wins and 18 losses.

In general, there are currently only two teams in the league, the Lakers and the Warriors, who have won more than 40 games, and the rest of the games have not yet arrived.

The league officials also announced the list of All-Star starters and substitutes at the end of January.

Xu Xuan and James are the top voters in their respective half districts, not to mention for the time being.

Western Conference starters: Xu Xuan (Lakers), Kevin Durant (Warriors), Anthony Davis (Pelicans), Kawhi Leonard (Spurs), Stephen Curry (Warriors)
This list is a bit bloody in the end.

Especially in the Western Conference guards, Curry, Harden, and Westbrook are simply "killing crazy". They all know that they can't grab Xu Xuan, so they can only come to grab the last position.

In the end, Curry got 990390 votes, Harden got 961685 votes, and Westbrook got 899024 votes.

The votes of these three people are actually very close, especially the number of votes between Harden and Curry, basically the difference of tens of thousands of votes, but in the end, Curry broke through the siege and joined hands with Xu Xuan to become the starting guard of the 2017 All-Star.

Durant is currently averaging 26.2 points per game and is the Warriors' scoring leader, while Curry scored 24.6 points.As one of the most prosperous teams in the league at present, it makes sense to have two starters.

And "Thick Eyebrow" Davis' selection is well deserved. Pachulia has been leading the inside position in the Western Conference before, and even in the second round he was still far ahead.However, fan votes will only account for 50% of the total votes, and players and media votes will each account for 25% of the total votes.After the last round, "Thick Eyebrow" came from behind and became the starting center of the All-Stars. "Brown Eyebrow" led the Pelicans to rebound slightly recently. He himself is playing the best season of his career, averaging 28.8 points (fourth in the league) and 12.1 rebounds (sixth in the league). With a 50% field goal percentage and 2.43 blocked shots, which is second in the league, his mid-range shots, singles and post-ups are all top ten in the league.Although the Pelicans have a poor record, there is no doubt that Davis is already one of the best insiders in the league.

As for Xiaoka, he is also very stable. He has inherited Duncan's "legacy" and entered the All-Star starting lineup. He is qualified and capable.

It is a pity that Harden and Westbrook.

In fact, the performance of these two people this season is very terrifying.

In particular, Harden's triple-doubles are also catching up recently. In the game against the Heat, Harden once again scored 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to win a super triple-double, which is also his fourth 40-point triple-double this season. .

In this season, Harden averaged 28.9 points per game, ranking third in the league, while assists were 11.6 times, ranking first in the league, and 8.3 rebounds.

Not only that, Harden even completed a single epic game with 53 points, 16 rebounds and 17 assists, the first data game in history.

Westbrook, the other unselected starter, has won 21 individual triple-doubles so far. Except for Harden, Westbrook's triple-double exceeded the sum of everyone in the league. He also scored 50 points. A triple-double, and has rarely maintained a triple-double of 30 points per game so far. Westbrook is currently averaging 30.6 points per game, second only to Xu Xuan, ranking second in the league, and also second in the league with 10.4 assists , Of course, as a guard, the data of 10.7 rebounds is also very amazing.

Westbrook is creating the highest usage rate in history this season, exceeding 41%. These records make Westbrook the most phenomenal superstar other than Xu Xuan this season.But helplessly, Westbrook seems to have lost to Harden and Curry at the last moment in terms of popularity.

It's a pity. Many Westbrook fans are saying that if Xu Xuan hadn't been in the front and shared a lot of pressure on Westbrook, maybe Westbrook would really be able to make the starting lineup.

Xu Xuan was laughing at them for dreaming.

Even without his previous life, Westbrook still lost the election. After all, it’s not that you only have fewer votes than Curry, and you don’t have as many votes as Harden
After all, Oklahoma is a small city, and the size of a small city is not big enough. After you see Golden State and the Nets, especially after you go to the Nets, is there a lot more people who praise Durant than before?
Didn't he play like this before?
Why were there few people who praised him at that time, but many people who criticized him?
This is the difference between a small city and a big city.

Let’s look at the Eastern Conference starters: LeBron James (Cavaliers), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks), Jimmy Butler (Bulls), Kyrie Irving (Cavaliers), DeMar DeRozan ( Raptors)

In the East, only the Cavaliers dominate. James and Irving occupy two seats. The Bucks' "Antetokounmpo" Antetokounmpo, the Raptors' DeRozan and the Bulls' Butler are all entering the starting list for the first time.

Due to the outstanding record of the Eastern Cavaliers, coupled with James' strong momentum and super popularity, it is not surprising that the "Emperor" and younger brother Irving occupy the starting positions of the Eastern All-Stars.

The day before the announcement of the All-Star starting list, the "Big Three" of the Cavaliers are still among the best. Love, one of the "Big Three" of the Cavaliers, is also expected to enter the All-Star starting lineup. Unfortunately, "Eros" did not get it at the last moment. Fortunately, he lost the All-Star starter in the end.

In fact, Love's loss is also reasonable. After all, the performance of "Eros" this season is still the same as before, giving people a feeling of unreliability.In addition to the relatively stable scoring in the first quarter, "Love God" often disappeared habitually in the next three quarters. Although his double-double data of 20.7 points and 10.8 rebounds per game was a new high since he joined the Cavaliers, "Love God" "God" is indeed the weakest link among the "Big Three", and it is one of the shortcomings of defending the title.

"Antetokounmpo" Antetokounmpo was selected as an All-Star starter as an inside player, which is both unexpected and reasonable.After all, Antetokounmpo is only a recruit who has only been in the league for 3 years, and this season is only his fourth season.Entering the All-Star starting so quickly, and also got a big contract of 4 million US dollars for 1 years, this is indeed a bit unexpected.

However, "Antetokounmpo" is indeed well-deserved. The subjective reason is that Antetokounmpo ushered in the most brilliant season of his career. He averaged 34.8 minutes per game, contributed 23.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game And 2.1 blocks, these data are career highs.The objective reason is that the East lacks outstanding inside players. Howard, Drummond and others are all weak offensively, so it is not too surprising that "Antetokounmpo" won.

Lowry, who has entered the All-Star starter for two consecutive years, failed to enter the Eastern Conference starting list, but his teammate DeRozan finally "became a wife for many years". This is the third time he has entered the All-Star, but it is the first Entered the starting list for the first time, which has a lot to do with his scoring blowout outbreak this season.This season, DeRozan averaged 28.2 points per game, a career high.

Also replacing his teammates, "The Flash" Wade failed to enter the starting list, but his new teammate Butler entered the starting list, and this is the first time Butler entered the All-Star starting lineup.And this time there are three players in the eastern roster who are starting for the first time. It can also be seen that the eastern structure will open a new era, and stars like Wade and Anthony will gradually retreat to the second line.

East bench list: Isaiah Thomas, Kyle Lowry, Kemba Walker, John Wall, Paul George, Kevin Love, Paul Millsap.

West bench: James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, Gordon Hayward, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins, Marc Gasol
The Warriors still have four players selected, with two starters and two substitutes.

The Cavaliers are selected with three players, two starters and one substitute.

There are a total of ten people on one side, and the two teams together occupy seven seats.

Since the list had already been decided, the previous voting window became more enthusiastic. People everywhere gave Xu Xuan advice on who should be the first one and who should be the second.

In this turmoil, the best players of the month in the East and West were also announced.

In the east is Thomas Jr., while in the west, Xu Xuan was not given, but the "double yolk eggs" of Durant and Curry.

Although the statistics of these two people are not as good as Xu Xuan, but together they are better than Xu Xuan.

And Xu Xuan won the best of the week twice in January, but did not win the best of the month.

Time to enter October.

On February 2 the dragon raises its head.

The Lakers' first opponent is the Washington Wizards.

The current record of the Wizards is 28 wins and 20 losses, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference. If there is no accident, there should be no problem in the playoffs, and the core player Wall has also been selected as this year's All-Star starter.

Last summer, the Wizards and another leading star, Bradley Beal, completed an early contract extension. The contract is a total of 5 million U.S. dollars for 1.3 years, with an average annual salary of 2600 million U.S. dollars.

Although the 23-year-old Bill only played 55 games last season due to injury (he did not have a record of full attendance in the Wizards for 4 seasons), he still averaged a career-high 17.4 points per game. The backcourt formed with John Wall Dual guns are full of firepower.As early as the end of last season, Bill had publicly declared that he hoped to get a maximum salary contract.

At the beginning, the top management of the Wizards didn't want to give it, but seeing that Durant has joined the Warriors, he was reluctant to part with the money, and really couldn't keep him, so the Wizards reached this after discussing with Bill. a contract.

To be honest, today when contracts are generally at a premium, Bill's contract is definitely not a loss, and it may even be a profit.

Because of the current big-name players, who can't afford an annual salary of 3000 million?

It is already very good that you can keep someone with 2600 million yuan for five years.
