I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 625 Insane Rotation? (Happy Chinese New Year!!! Happy New Year of the Ox!!!)

Post-match interview.

As the winner, Frank brought Xu Xuan together, and the master and apprentice came to the news hall.

The scene was quite lively, especially when Xu Xuan sat down, the noise became louder.

"Xu, how do you feel about being scored 52 points by your opponent tonight?" A reporter asked in advance.

"It feels pretty good." Xu Xuan smiled.

"Does it feel good to be scored?"

"I mean, seeing him score 52 points and lose, I feel pretty good, hahaha"

The other people at the scene were also amused by Xu Xuan's words, thinking that Bill would cry to death if he heard these words.

Similarly, in the post-match interview area on the Wizards side, Bill, who was expressionless, was also asked this question by reporters.

Bill thought for a while before saying, "This is not something to be happy about, so I ask you all to stop mentioning it."

"So do you think the team needs to make any changes? You scored 52 points and lost the game."

"."

The veins on Bill's head were exposed.

I told you not to mention it again, can't you hear me?
"Next question." Bill said in a deep voice.

"Bradley, you who set a new career scoring record on the spot, do you have anything to say? Or do you have any expectations?"

"."

Bill broke the defense on the spot.

Damn, how many times have I said, don't ask any more questions about this 52 points, don't ask, don't ask! ! !
Of course, for most people, Bill performed well in this game, but Xu Xuan's light was still too dazzling.

62 points, Xu Xuan's fourth 60+ points this season.

The data is astonishing.

At the same time, after the Lakers ended their two-game losing streak, their record came to 44 wins and 8 losses. To be honest, after losing two games in a row before, the competition between China Resources and the Warriors for the league No. Wizards, many Lakers fans feel that they can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

However, on the same day, the Warriors also defeated the Los Angeles Clippers at home by 133 to 120, 13 points, and their record became 43 wins and 7 losses.

So after all, although the Lakers have played two more games than the Warriors, from the point of view of the net win, the Lakers have a net win of 36 games, while the Warriors also have 36 games. The difference between the teams is directly zero!

In other words, that is, the Warriors are catching up! ! !
"It's not easy for the Warriors. They have been catching up since the beginning of the season. They have finally caught up." Ke Fan laughed.

Indeed, the Warriors should be chasing very hard. From the beginning of the season, the Lakers not only played more games, but also won more games. They played fewer games. He has been pressed by the Lakers and cannot move.

More than half of this season has gone on, and now it is finally catching up.

"It is estimated that after today, the Warriors can sleep well, and they are now the number one in the league!" Yang Yi said with a smile: "By the way, there is also Cole, and now his All-Star head coach should not have any controversy."

According to the regulations of the All-Star Game, the head coach cannot serve for two consecutive years, so even if the Lakers are still No. 2 in the Western Conference before February 6, that is, before the All-Star record is settled, he cannot become this year's All-Star head coach. Instead, it should be postponed and given to the second-ranked Warriors.

But the regulations are true, but this kind of postponed head coach will generally be gossiped, saying something unworthy, but if the Warriors squeeze out the Lakers to become the first before February 2, then This gossip is naturally self-defeating.

"The important thing now is the next game. I saw that the Lakers have two games before the 6th, and the Warriors have only one game before the 6th. In other words, the Lakers are still there. It has an advantage." Yang Yi analyzed.

Ke Fan nodded, maybe some people didn’t understand, he explained again: “What Mr. Yang means is that even if the Warriors win the next game, they still have to see the face of the Lakers, because if the Lakers win both games If the Lakers are still No. 45 in the league, they can only be No. 9. If the Lakers lose one game and the Warriors win that game, the records of the two teams will be 44 wins, 7 losses (Lakers) and [-] wins. [-] losses (Warriors)

So in this case, the Warriors will lead by one game, and thus reach the top of the league. "

In other words, in the next two games before the 6th, the Lakers have to win to guarantee their first position, otherwise, the position will be taken by the Warriors.

Who made them lose one less game now?

"Haha, it's really going to be a battle of wits and courage. I really don't know who can secure the number one position in the league." Ke Fan laughed.

From the perspective of difficulty, it is natural that the difficulty of the Warriors is low, and the difficulty of the Lakers is high.

After all, the Warriors only need to win one game, while the Lakers need to win two games.

"I didn't expect that other disputes hadn't started yet, but the All-Star head coach started the fight first." Ke Fan laughed.

At the beginning of February, the Lakers played five consecutive away games.

It's just the first game with the Wizards, and there are four more games.

On the 3rd, the Lakers came to another giant team in the East, the Boston Celtics, as a guest.

The Celtics are currently competing with the Raptors for the second place in the Eastern Conference. The records of the two teams, one is 31 wins, the other is 30 wins. The Celtics have an extra win is the No. 1 victory over the Raptors.
In fact, for most of this season, the Raptors were second in the Eastern Conference, but as the team lost 10 games in the past 8 games, their record was overtaken by the Celtics.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone on the Raptors team, when the Celtics meet the Lakers, they are happy and excited. Nothing else, the Lakers are the best in the league, and they point to who can teach them a lesson Look at the increasingly aggressive Celtics now.

Yellow and green battle!

Speaking of which, this is also the first time the Lakers and Celtics have met this season.

However, the yellow-green battle is always full of stalks. Coupled with the excellent performance of the Celtics this season and the outstanding performance of the core player Thomas Jr., the game has not yet started, and the gimmicks are already flying all over the sky.

The Celtics have not changed much this season, mainly because they have established a play style with Thomas Jr. as the core since last season. This summer, all the reinforcements and tactics of the Celtics are also arranged and threaded for this point.

So far this season, Thomas Jr.'s average of 29.1 points and 5.9 assists per game has amazed the entire league, and because he is only 1 meters tall, he has been dubbed the title of "the strongest 75 on the surface" by the majority of fans. Thomas Jr. is in charge The team's offense, the iron wall composed of Bradley, Smart, and Crowder has become a nightmare for all outside players in the league.

In last year's draft, the Celtics used the No. 201 pick to select Jaylen Brown, a swingman with a height of [-].

Jaylen Brown is a good guy. Xu Xuan has seen his stats. Apart from his inaccurate shooting, he can organize, defend, and play hard.

In his previous life, this guy had already skyrocketed to [-] miles, but he didn't expect that there would be another "Tanhuaxiu elementary school boy". The key is that this elementary school boy performed better than him, and seemed to have more potential than him.

This is embarrassing, thanks to Jaylen Brown's indisputable temperament, otherwise, there would have been troubles.

Except for Jaylen Brown, the Celtics had a total of 6 picks in last year's draft, including three in the first round and three in the second round. deal, so when selecting people, Angie made it clear that he chose randomly because he didn't have so much time to think about who to choose.
Last summer, the biggest deal the Celtics made was the signing of Eagles Titan Horford from the free market.

This is a 4-year contract with a total value of 1.13 million.

Horford gave the Eagles a chance at the last minute, but the difference between the two sides is mainly about money.The Eagles offered Horford 5 million over five years, which was 1.36 million short of the maximum salary. In the end, Horford chose to switch to the Celtics.

"The Eagles thought that Horford had feelings for the team and would accept the offer at the last minute, but Horford insisted on asking for a five-year maximum salary. road.

Horford has been playing for the Hawks since entering the NBA as a No. 2007 show in 15.2. The All-Star insider averaged 7.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 50.5 assists per game this season, shooting [-] percent from the field.The Eagles spared no effort to keep Horford before, and even planned to trade Millsap, but now, the team has to make a new plan.

For the Celtics, being able to sign Horford can be described as a great success.After all, the Celtics have a large number of young talents and a top marshal Stevens, but they lack a leader.Although Horford is not a top superstar, he is a veteran with rich experience and has the ability to become the leader of the Celtics.

Interestingly, Wojnarowski also revealed that Durant and Donovan, Horford's mentor at the University of Florida, had recruited the All-Star insider, and said that the team could trade Kanter to clear the salary space. , but Horford was unmoved.Horford believes that Durant and Westbrook are not sure they will play for the Thunder for a long time.

Not to mention, he really guessed it, not only Durant, but Westbrook left later and went out to wander.
In addition to Horford, the Celtics also successively signed the contracts of power forward Gerald Green and center Tyler Zeller.

Tyler Zeller's contract is a contract extension with a contract value of $2 million for 1600 years, of which the second year is a completely unguaranteed team option.This contract will give the Celtics increased flexibility next year in order to continue to pursue big-name free agents.

The 26-year-old Taylor Zeller is the elder brother of Hornets player Cody Zeller. He was selected by the Mavericks with the 2012th overall pick in the first round in 17 and then traded to the Cavaliers.After playing for the Cavaliers for two seasons, he was switched to the Celtics and also played for two seasons.However, in the 2015-16 season, Zeller was removed from the starting lineup and his playing time fell by half.In 60 games, there were only 3 starts and 11.8 minutes of playing time. He averaged only 6.1 points and 3 rebounds per game, and all the data were approaching career lows.

And with Gerald Green is a one-year basic salary guarantee contract.

The 30-year-old Green was selected by the Celtics with the 2005th overall pick in the first round in 18.

In the 2007 Slam Dunk Contest, the "nine-finger dunker" won the Slam Dunk King of the year with a windmill dunk that "jumped over the gambling table".Then he was sent to the Timberwolves in Garnett's big deal, and then moved to the Rockets, Mavericks, CBA and Russian League, returned to the NBA and played for the Nets, Timberwolves and Suns. Last season, Green joined the Heat with a one-year minimum salary and played. 69 times, starting 14 games, scoring 22.6 points and 8.9 rebounds in 2.4 minutes, shooting 39.2%.

This game is very important for both sides.

Not only because of the gimmick of the "Yellow-Green War", but in terms of record, the Lakers must win the Celtics to stabilize their position, and the Celtics also want to win the Lakers, trying to expand themselves and the Raptors. gap between.

As the saying goes, "enemies are extremely jealous when they meet", the two teams not only have "grievances" between the clubs, but also between the players, Xu Xuan, Thomas Jr., and Smart are not very happy. When the two sides meet together, they will definitely fight of.

"I just don't know who Stevens will use to defend against Xu Xuan today. I heard that Bradley will not play today." Wang Meng and Mr. Su Junyang commented together for this game.

"I've also heard that since Bradley doesn't play, I guess it's Smart. Claude is also good, but from the perspective of speed, Smart is still the best choice." Su Junyang said the teacher.

This side is still chatting, and the starting list of both sides has already been displayed on the big screen over there.

For the Lakers, this is a back-to-back away game, so the physical end is definitely not as good as the Celtics at home.

Seeing the starting lineup sent by the Lakers, Su Junyang couldn't help shaking his head: "Xu Xuan, Nick Young, Ci Shiping, Larry Nance Jr., Zubac, this is the last game That lineup for the last few minutes of the game."

Wang Meng looked at it carefully, nodded, and said with a smile, "Really, did Teacher Su watch the Lakers' last game?"

Su Junyang smiled, "Then why don't you watch it? Xu Xuan scored 62 points. Even if you didn't watch the live broadcast, you still have to go back and watch the replay."

"However, I didn't expect them to play two consecutive games with this lineup. I thought Russell would come back in this game."

Also.

Wang Meng echoed: "It's the first time I've seen such a rotation like the Lakers. You said that Russell, Ingram, Randall, UAE, and Lu Wei were all rested together, and it was four games in a row. It was four games." Teacher Su?"

"That's right, it's four games." Su Junyang nodded and said, "I lost two games in a row before, and won the last game. I don't know about this one yet."

This way of rest is a bit too brutal, not to mention anything else, it doesn't make sense at all
As for the five main players, they are all substitutes. It can only be said that Frank has a big heart, or that he really trusts Xu Xuan
