The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

"This is a murderous move, which is not what should happen on the basketball court." Xu Xiaoyang started to complain to the referee, but the referee could only signal him not to get excited, they watched the replay over and over again.

Artest made a dribble mistake just now, because it was too obvious, so the referee didn't give a foul. Artest was very upset. It happened that Roy went to serve the ball, so the action of elbowing Harden in the previous life was used on Roy again. .

Although the health card that Xu Xiao gave Roy could prevent him from getting injured, it was a health card, not King Kong's invincible and immortal body. After being elbowed by Artest, Roy lay on the ground and became unconscious.

Westbrook and Ibaka were impatient at the time, and they rushed forward to "argument" with Artest. If Garnett and Bynum hadn't stopped them at this time, they would have had to fight hard.

Seeing that Roy couldn't play this game, and whether he would be able to play in the next game was uncertain, Artest was sentenced to a second-degree malicious foul and was also sent off.

There is no problem with the penalty here.

But Westbrook was directly punished, and the reason turned out to be ridiculously the first to cause the conflict.

Now Xu Xiao was even more dissatisfied, and rushed up to shout at the referee:

"Please explain to me what it means to be the first to cause a conflict. He has seriously and intentionally maliciously injured my team members. Should we let our team members watch?"

The referee simply ignored Xu Xiao's roar, and even directly gave Xu Xiao a technical foul.

At this time, the commentary can't stand it anymore. This is simply a blatant black call. It is obvious that the Timberwolves are the victim, but in the end it was the Lakers who made a free throw for a technical foul.

In this way, the Timberwolves directly lost two generals, and both guns in the backcourt were sent off.

This made "Bread" Brown on the sidelines and Kupchak in the audience heave a sigh of relief.

"I should be able to fight this time."

Halftime, Timberwolves locker room.

"Coach, are we really playing a match? Are you sure this isn't a WWE exhibition match?"

"In this game, I really don't want to play in the second half. It would be nice to judge us to lose."

"That's right, it also saves the risk of injury. If you want me to say, just award the championship directly, no one can compete with them."

"I don't know what's going on with Brandon. I haven't played basketball for many years. This is the first time I know that this kind of action will appear on the basketball court."

The players are complaining and talking about it.

At this moment, Xu Xiao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke:

"Guys, listen to me, I know everyone has grievances in their hearts, I am the same as you, but I am still in the game, I don't want to lose like this, it will only increase our grievances, don't they like to brag, come on , We use practical actions to tell them that in the face of absolute strength, all small actions are futile."

"Yes, you must not just admit defeat like this, let them take a good look, we can't win us by relying on outside moves." Westbrook, who was sent off, was also full of anger.

After Xu Xiao and Westbrook's speeches, the morale of the team has improved a lot, but how to play next is a problem. After all, they don't have an advantage in the current situation, and the main backcourt is not there.

What's more terrible is that this penalty is still in the second half, and they are now carrying several fouls on each of them.

"Now the score is 43 to 52, only 9 points behind, there are still some games, listen to me, let's play like this in the second half." Xu Xiao began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

On the other side, Garnett was still encouraging his teammates in the locker room, while Kobe was a little silent. In his opinion, Artest's hit was indeed a bit heavy, and he was also a little worried about Roy.

Soon, the second half of the game began, and the Timberwolves used Bledsoe and Jimmy Butler to partner in the backcourt.

In the first round of the second half, Bledsoe passed Calderon with an acceleration with the ball, and then quickly split the ball. At this time, Butler had already used Ibaka's cover to get out and received a pass from Bledsoe. The ball is a beautiful three-pointer.

Now that Butler, who has Marshall's three-point ability, has also learned to run without the ball, Xu Xiao feels that if Jimmy continues to develop in his lineup, then he is likely to become a player like Clay. players.

But before Xu Xiao could think about it, the whistle blew again, calling off the Timberwolves' mobile pick-and-roll.

It seems that the referee knows the tactics of the Timberwolves, and the whistle is very targeted.

Ibaka also received his third foul, but Xu Xiao had no intention of making a substitution.

Today is the battle of the wheels, let's see how big your referee's lung capacity is.

Conversely, Jimmy's defense against Kobe was still tight, and he did not relax at all because of fouls and the scale of the referee.

The more Butler is like this, the more Kobe's desire to win is aroused.

But Butler is a rookie after all, and he is still a relatively immature rookie. Facing Kobe, even without the help of the referee, Jimmy is still not Kobe's opponent.

The Timberwolves can only rely on the three-point distance from the outside to barely maintain the score. The breakthrough is hopeless, because the breakthrough will definitely be fouled, and there is no whistle.

Fortunately, Josh's mid-range is relatively accurate, and his consecutive mid-range shots helped the Timberwolves stabilize the score. Xu Xiao also took out his old tricks, and directly exchanged [-] coins for [-] consecutive draws, and directly exchanged for Bledsoe. Zhang Thomas' ability card.

There is no doubt about Thomas Jr.'s ability. Under the special system created by the Green Army, Thomas Jr. was once a strong contender for the league's mvp, averaging close to 29 points per game, and was also successfully selected to the second team. Sai became the king of the last quarter.

There are two aspects that restrict Thomas Jr., one is his body, especially his height. Once his physical fitness declines or he encounters an injury, he will directly fall off a cliff. The other is defense. Defense is a big problem, but this is a big problem for Brad. So it's not a problem at all.

Bledsoe's physical fitness is definitely the best in the league. He was once called the "James" among point guards. In addition, Bledsoe's defense is also the foundation of his life in the league.

And Bledsoe is criticized the most for his unreasonable shooting. In fact, Xu Xiao didn't plan to give Bledsoe a star card, because they have Westbrook themselves, and Bledsoe's chances will definitely be very good. Not many, and his spirit also determined that he could not live in the Timberwolves for a long time.

But right now, he couldn't care less. For the victory of this game, Xu Xiao directly gave him the best card he could get at this stage.

Bledsoe, who received the bonus from Thomas Jr., immediately turned into a beast, and Xu Xiao also began to arrange tactics for him.

The purpose of Xu Xiao's tactical arrangement is very clear, the inside is impossible to get in, the three-pointer is not reliable, and the pick-and-roll tactics are basically abolished. Then create one-on-one opportunities for the stars and use the mid-range to solve the problem.

Now the Timberwolves have two points, one Josh and one Bledsoe are completely dominant points.

Without Artest, the Lakers' striker is left with Dunleavy, who is not good at defense, so Josh has to give him diarrhea in the middle distance.

Another one is Bledsoe.

Bledsoe is completely a smaller Westbrook, and Calderon can't defend at all. His first step is too fast, and he passed Calderon with one acceleration. cast.

Let the Lakers also fall into a dilemma.

"Damn it, their backup guards are just like Westbrook, how can they always have such difficult people." Kupchak said through gritted teeth off the court.

But the Timberwolves' troubles soon came.

Kobe broke through and made an emergency stop, but Butler was inexperienced and failed to stop the brakes, and was scored 2+1 by Kobe.

The score that allowed the Timberwolves to work so hard to catch up was pulled away again.

"Sorry, mine." Jimmy said with some frustration.

"It's okay, you've done a good job, then just trust your teammates."

Xu Xiao encouraged Jimmy.

The ball is okay, but the real trouble is that Butler has already been sent off for 6 fouls, and the Timberwolves' front line is stretched.

"You must also observe carefully off the court. This is a stage you must go through in your growth. If you want to become a person like Kobe." Xu Xiao reminded Butler again.

jr played again, but jr also had 4 fouls, and then received the fifth foul just after playing.

Now there are 1 minute and 15 seconds before the third quarter, and he doesn't know how to get through the fourth quarter for this foul.

"It's really amazing to be able to play a team with such a deep lineup like the Timberwolves until the rotation is stretched. I have to admit that the Lakers played "formidably" in this game!"

The United States made unceremonious comments. It is true that anyone who recognizes such a game will feel sick.

The Timberwolves also ended the third quarter with a score of 66 to 72. Although the score has narrowed, the Timberwolves have almost no advantage in the situation.

Bledsoe and Josh must be full time.

Jr depends on how long he can call this foul. The Timberwolves have four King Kong inside. Now Oden has 4 fouls, Ibaka has 6 fouls, Gibson has 2 fouls, and Yao Ming has 3 fouls.

Other positions are fine, if it is not possible to go to the twin towers, the key is how long jr can last.

But the story always backfires.

Less than 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, jr received his sixth foul.

Jr was still chattering after leaving the field, which angered the referee and directly sent jr out.

Now the question is thrown to Xu Xiao, who will Xu Xiao use to fill this gap in the end, and now the Timberwolves still have Ismael Smith and Michael Reid available.

The older of these two is about to retire, and the younger has just entered the NBA. No matter who plays, they can't limit Kobe.

Xu Xiao also thought of a countermeasure. Xu Xiao wanted to win this game and completely crush the momentum of the Lakers.

"Michael, you go!"

Xu Xiao finally replaced Reid, who has been on the battlefield for a long time.

This season, although Xu Xiao's injuries have been treated in various ways, he is old after all and has fallen out of the Timberwolves' rotation. Although he has had a few highlights in the regular season, he is no longer the "Meng Ba "The Deer King" Reed.

But today, Xu Xiao wants to let him return to the state of the super scorer back then.

This is the "Peak Moment" of the special skill card that Xu Xiao just obtained. For this match, Xu Xiao directly studded all his system coins at halftime to get this card.

And the effect of this card is that it can bring a player back to his peak period, but the effect is only one game.

One game is enough.
