I’m a Big Boss in the NBA

Playing in China is quite happy, especially with Xu Xuan.

Although the players of the Lakers lost, but one or two did not hurt. Under Xu Xuan's suggestion, they went out and had a good meal.

The fans are also very enthusiastic, love the house and Wu, even Nick Young has a lot of fans who are looking for his autographs. This is in Los Angeles, don't even think about it.

As for the photos taken, there are even more. Nick Yang who got it in the past two days was like taking stimulants, smiling from ear to ear.

Later on the third day, the second China game also began.

Compared to this one, the two teams have a stronger sense of play.

It’s time to be serious, and it’s time to relax.

But even if you relax, the Lakers still haven't won. So far, they have played 7 preseason games and only won 1 game, which is really a bit pitiful.

But Xu Xuan actually doesn't care much about this, and Coach Frank doesn't care too much.

The fake is now also the coach of the championship, and he really doesn't care about the victory or defeat in the preseason.

After the China game, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

They have only one game in the preseason, and their opponent is the Phoenix Suns.

On the morning of the 21st, US time, Xu Xuan and his entourage took a plane overnight. After a long journey, they returned to Los Angeles from the magic city.

After a day's rest, Xu Xuan had already recovered from the jet lag when he got up the next morning.

Get up early for a run, then take a shower and go directly to the training hall.

Surprisingly, the coaches have already started to work.

Xu Xuan came to the training ground and saw the chief assistant Wharton who was passing by and asked curiously: "Luke, don't you need to take jet lag?"

"I should ask you this, God, what is the structure of your body? It is more energetic than a person who is used to staying up late," Little Wharton exclaimed and continued: "I usually only sleep a day. 5 hours, got used to it."

"Me? Just sleep."

"..."

Let’s talk for a while. Xu Xuan went to train for himself. It’s not easy to be a coach, especially the coach of the best basketball league in the NBA. Of course, the salary of assistant coaches is not low, especially Walton Jr. and Xu Xuan. I heard that Wharton’s salary was a little lower than Frank, and it was not much lower.

This is when talents come to be cultivated.

By the way, the Lakers' head coach was actually Walton Jr., who was only intervened by Frank's third party.

Day by day, individual training, team training, team rivalry, pre-season games...

Look for problems, think of ways to solve them, change your mind if there is no way to solve them, and ignore them if they don’t work, strengthen your strengths and avoid weaknesses.

In the last preseason game, the Lakers also carried forward their good points and lost to the Suns cleanly.

Yes, 8 games in the preseason, 1 win and 7 losses, ended perfectly.

...

That said, the Lakers fans are not worried about it.

They don’t care whether the Lakers lose more or win more now... In their opinion, Xu Xuan is enough. Even if they lose now, they can win back in the future... Very simple Thoughts.

The Clippers next door are aggrieved. They are all in the same city, playing in the same arena, and they know each other best and get the most news.

People like Griffin couldn't help it for a long time, and let out words to mock.

Xu Xuan ignored him. In fact, the Clippers' record was not much better, with 3 wins and 3 losses in 6 games, average.

But this person, he was afraid of comparison, and his heart was a little gloomier than originally, and he instantly became happy.

"Look, we all said that we didn't play well, and there is another Dashabi who only won one game in 8 games. If we don't play well, shouldn't they wipe their necks and kill themselves?"

Although they are all Los Angeles fans, they are also divided into gangs.

A batch from the Lakers, a batch from the Clippers.

In the old days, the Clippers were little underdogs, shivering under the wings of the Lakers.

But now it's different. The Lakers are losing ground and continue to lose ground. The Clippers are in full swing and vigorous. Now it is hard to say which side has more fans. This issue cannot even be investigated online.

Both ESPN and TNT have conducted censuses on the Internet, and in the end, there was no census. Because of the census, the fans on both sides quarreled, and then they shook each other, faster than someone typing, faster than someone online... ....

In the end, there is nothing left to do.

However, although there is no statistical result, everyone still has the number in mind.

There are many old fans of the Lakers and many new fans of the Clippers.

Just like doing business, the fans are also realistic. If you can win, he will support you. On the contrary, the team that no one wants to support by themselves loses and loses every day... So now they can still support the Lakers. The team is basically feelings, especially after Kobe retired, many people can't even find this feeling.

If it weren't for Xu Xuan to join in, it is estimated that the few Lakers fans would be divided up by the Clippers, except for those who have been fans for more than ten or two decades or more.

Now that Xu Xuan is here, the result is different.

The Lakers used to be lifeless, but now they are full of vigor!

Because of Xu Xuan's relationship, it also attracted a lot of neutral and even fans who originally turned to the Clippers. No way, Xu Xuan's popularity is really high.

When Xu Xuan was in Indiana before, it was a small city, like Los Angeles, which had the pride of its own big city and looked down on the stars of small cities, but now, dare you to look down on Xu Xuan again?

I can't beat you!

Pride is serious, and short-term protection is serious. The two do not conflict!

And what do you say when Xu Xuan plays...Sao, it's a real show. You can't see all kinds of show operations once in ten games, but when you see Xu Xuan, you may see ten times in one game.

This time around, the fans were naturally attracted by Xu Xuan, and even seduce many loyal fans of the Clippers. 53 Chinese Network

It made the Clippers players very upset, and it's no wonder Cannon Boss Griffin is looking for trouble.

Xu Xuan didn't care about it, Lakers owner Jenny Buss had a smile on her face.

Since the schedule was set, since the Lakers began to sell tickets in advance, not to mention those scattered, the number of people who bought season tickets was 30% more than last season!

Don't underestimate this 30%! The money doesn’t look like much in your hands, but it’s a lot where she gathers it.

Not to mention the profits of various peripherals that have been officially sold, including jerseys, photos, posters, and various small commodities. The Lakers have made a lot of money during this time, and their faces are cracked.

...

At the end of the preseason, the Lakers coaching staff had a clear understanding of the current situation of their team.

There are three days of rest after the preseason. The regular season will start on October 26. On the 24th, the morning after the game against the Suns, the Lakers held a team meeting.

The assistants, trainers, and players all expressed their views on the current state of the team, the technical strength of the players, the state of the players, the running-in situation, etc. Some people said less, some said more, more or less They all expressed their opinions.

There are also some veterans and players with good tactical awareness and willingness to express themselves, who have proposed adjustment strategies to the current situation of the team.

Xu Xuan listened for a while, synthesized it, and drew several conclusions.

First, the team currently has ample pitchers.

In addition to him, there are Lu Wei, Nick Young, D'Angelo Russell, Ingram, Matt Barnes and even Yi Jianlian all have the ability to pull out three-pointers, but they have a The problem is that it’s not stable. Lu Wei is a convulsive player. Not to mention Nick Young. Russell and Ingram are still rookies. Barnes and Yi Jane can’t even think of them as pure pitchers. .

Moreover, these pitchers need to devote a considerable amount of energy to defense.

Therefore, there is a problem. It is very likely that the shooting feel will decline due to the high confrontation.

And apart from Xu Xuan's driving stage, there are no good players who can open up the situation.

Defense is also a big problem. Lu Wei is a big defensive colander. Although he is active, he always makes some inexplicable mistakes. Young defensive players such as Russell can leave it alone for the time being. They are pretty good, so outside defense. In the end, the blame should be attributed to the three people, Ba Ye, Wesley Matthews, and Ci Shiping.

Among them, Ba Ye must be the main force.

Ci Shiping’s defense is fierce, but his physical fitness has declined drastically over the years. It’s okay to let him go up and be a "little clever ghost looking for trouble", and let him really take his life to defend James or Durant throughout the game. He estimated that he would leave Xu Xuan first...

The same is true for Wesley Matthews. Although he is a tough guy, he has regressed to varying degrees on both the offensive and defensive ends since he was injured. I count on him to go desperately, let alone whether he can hold on. , It is estimated that he will be gone if he fights hard.

Perimeter defense is a big problem.

On the contrary, Xu Xuan gave Frank and the Lakers coaching staff a big surprise, especially Frank. He never expected that after a summer, Xu Xuan's defensive ability could rise to this level.

For example, Xu Xuan's defense used to be fourth-rate or even fifth-rate, but now it has become third-rate or even second-rate.

You know that second-rate defensive players have the opportunity to make the best defensive team, how can this not surprise Frank.

However, after careful consideration, Frank had a conversation with Xu Xuan.

To put it bluntly, he didn't want Xu Xuan to devote too much energy to the defensive end, even if the outside defense was directly exploded, he had the same idea.

Nothing else, Xu Xuan’s defensive improvement is so great. If it is still the Pacers before, he will only be happy, and will appropriately ask Xu Xuan if he wants to pay more attention to the team’s defense. But now, he Don't ask, let's not let Xu Xuan participate in the team's defense too much.

Because it used to be dual-core, but now it is single-core, the single-core team means that Xu Xuan is fighting offensively by himself. In this case, he still wants to "step on two boats", and he must take both offense and consideration into consideration Defensively, in the end it is definitely not worth the gain.

Frank's brain is active and his thoughts are clear.

The team can lose.

The team can lose because of defense.

But the team must not collapse because of Xu Xuan's energy.

That's the question of the general direction, and Frank is very clear about this.

Outside defense is a big problem. In comparison, the Lakers' inside defense is not that bad.

The starter Randall Jiayi Jianlian's inside combination, and the substitutes Larry Nance and Tariq Black have good defensive and help defense capabilities.

Putting it all together means that they may start with an offensive approach at the beginning of the new season.

No way, the defense won the championship, but the three-pointer is now the mainstream.

...

The morning meeting determined the tone of play at the beginning of the season. The players had no opinion. Most of the players were keen on offense.

Especially rookies like Russell and Ingram, if you ask the offensive coach to tell them a day of tactics, they are happy, but if you ask the defensive coach to tell him one day, it is estimated that they will take time off the next day... ..

At the end of the meeting, there is no training scheduled today, one day off, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to prepare for the season opener with Mosaic.

In the last two days of preparations before the regular season, the Lakers set the tone for the start of the season~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but still didn't have much confidence in the first game.

Mosaic is still very strong, the Mosaic of last season is undoubtedly disappointing, and was eliminated in the first round after being able to enter the playoffs. So in the offseason, he hired D'Antoni, the "runner and bomber," and gave up Howard to help Capella, and introduced Anderson and Eric Gordon from the Pelicans, supplemented by the original lineup. In Xu Xuan's opinion, this one Mosaic is undoubtedly much better than the team last season.

Hard to deal with.

Especially for the head coach D'Antoni, Maxima meets Bole and Bole meets Maxima, which is probably what people want to see most. Cardinal Auerbach to Lord of the Rings Russell, Popovich to Duncan, and Zen Master and Jordan are the most compatible mentors and apprentices in NBA history, but Xu Xuan estimates that the pair of mentors and apprentices of Deshuai and Ha. The combination is definitely not weaker than anyone else.

D'Antoni has always had the habit of tapping point guards, from the madman Van Exel in the Nuggets period and the two-time MVP pass master Nash in the Suns period to Jeremy Lin in the Knicks period and the assist monster Marshall in the Lakers period. The point guard has never disappointed everyone.

Many people are speculating whether Mosaic will have a huge change in the new season. Of course, it is not clear whether this change is good or bad.

...

On October 26, Mosaic came to Los Angeles to prepare for the battle.

The Lakers' first game was at home.

Although the team has many problems, Xu Xuan wants to make a good start, and the first game is the day when the championship ring is awarded. Of course, he wants to win this game.

The Lakers' morning pre-game meeting and the last training session are over, and the afternoon rests to prepare for the 7:30 evening game.
