That night, Zhou Xuan enjoyed the sofa and 49-inch TV in Mitchell's house. He's going to move over tomorrow, and when he comes to Los Angeles, he's empty-handed, he doesn't have anything of value, and he's going back to his apartment with a few clothes and a few pairs of shoes.

There is a focus battle in the NBA - Suns VS Lakers!

Shaquille. O'Neal made his debut for the Suns, against his old partner Kobe Bryant. Bryant. The contradiction of the Lakers' "OK combination" is a long-standing topic, the locker room quarrel, Kobe Bryant deliberately rode O'Neal in training, and the "shark swims east"...... People want to see what kind of spark they can make.

Before the start of the season, Kobe Bryant had strongly asked for a transfer, scolding the manager for being brainless and the owner for being stupid, because the Lakers looked like a mess at that time, and although Bynum was known as the "little shark", Odom could also score 15. 9 points 9. 8 rebounds 4. 8 assists, but the whole team can't lift their spirits, and it is impossible to win the championship. O'Neal has already won four championships, and Bryant desperately needs to prove that he can win a championship without O'Neal.

Now Kobe's request for a transfer has slowly faded into oblivion because they paid the least amount of money for Paul. Gasol.

Gasol can be said to be the most important component of the Zen master's triangle offensive tactics, good physical fitness, excellent passing and control skills, and long-honed low-post singles ability, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gasol is tailored for the triangle tactics, and after having him, the Lakers immediately have the strength to win the championship.

Recently, the Lakers have been extremely brave, winning a wave of six consecutive games, the same record as the Suns, and climbed to the top of the Pacific Conference. This makes Los Angeles fans very excited, and there is still more than a month to go, if the Lakers can finally surpass the Hornets and Spurs to get the best record in the regular season, the star of the house, Kobe. Bryant may well be the regular season MVP for the first time in his career.

Kobe Bryant also values this, and his only honor now besides scoring champion is All-Star Game MVP, which is too humble to compare with Jordan.

In the end, the Suns lost the game 115-127 at home. Bryant scored 41 points and scored a career total of 20,815 points, surpassing David, who was ranked 27th on the NBA's all-time scoring list. Robinson, 26th from Bob. Petit is already only 65 points. Also, Paul. Gasol had 29 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists to Lamar. Odom had 22 points, 11 rebounds and four assists.

O'Neal played 29 minutes and had 15 points and nine rebounds, Amare said. Stoudemire had 37 points and 15 rebounds, Steve. Nash had 26 points and eight assists, Grant. Hill and Barbosa each scored 17 points.

Mitchell is a Lakers fan and is thrilled to watch. He also lamented several times that O'Neill was not the "big shark" of the year, and Gasol's internal and external shots completely prevailed. More time O'Neal was watching former teammate Kobe Bryant perform. After O'Neal joined the Suns, he did not forget about his former teammate Kobe Bryant and former coach Phil. Jackson fights with words, and O'Neal can win them on the lips, but he looks weak on the court.

Zhou Xuan was very depressed, he liked the Suns' run-and-shoot offense, full of passion, although he failed to win a championship for the Suns. The Lakers' triangle offense, the role of the point guard is to pass to Kobe Bryant across the halfcourt, and then look for opportunities to shoot threes on the perimeter, which he doesn't like.

Zhou Xuan thought that the Suns management had made a stupid move. If you want an inside line, you can trade with New York and trade Marion for David. Lee, although not as famous as O'Neal, is fast, has mid-range shots, can also rely on footwork in the low post, and rebounds are not bad. Using O'Neal only strengthened the low-post offense, but disrupted the team's familiar fast-break rhythm.

Mitchell agreed with Zhou Xuan's statement, he felt that O'Neill would not stay in the sun for long, and the current big shark only had strength left, relying on his huge body to sit and fight from a low position, so he couldn't help the sun.

The next day, the Chinese sports media reported the news that Zhou Xuan broke the NBDL assist record like a doping, but the news of the Lakers was brushed aside. On the Internet, some people have already said that Zhou Xuan is "Chinese Nash". Sun Yue was also known as the "Chinese magician" before, and the Chinese guard line seems to have become stronger. Although Sun Yue is also playing ABA this season, he failed to sign with the Lakers.

The performance of the American media is much colder, and there is also a "Zhou Hei", basketball expert Nicholas said that "the development league plays luxury data does not prove anything, and Zhou Xuan's confrontation ability cannot gain a foothold in the NBA at all." ”

The amount of strength is indeed what Zhou Xuan lacks the most. He knows very well what his biggest weakness is, he has been working up a sweat in the gym every day, and it is good to be lightweight, but you have to have strength.

Seeing that Zhou Xuan completed a set of bench presses out of breath, physical fitness coach Porter knew that he had done his best, and said with a wry smile: "Zhou, you can't do this." Chris. Paul bench press 84 kg can do 10 reps, Delon. Williams 15 times, Boykins max bench press 140 kilograms, you're only 30 kilograms......"

"Twenty kilograms of barbell rods, fifteen kilograms on the left and right, should it be considered fifty?" Zhou Xuan sat up and sighed. He did four sets of ten, and his arms were gone, and he was the last in the team in terms of upper limb strength.

Potter asked, "Have you never systematically practiced strength before?" ”

"I went to college and practiced for a month." Zhou Xuan shook his arm, relaxed his biceps, and smiled bitterly.

"Why didn't you practice before?"

"Because I'm afraid that I won't grow tall."

In the early stage of growth and development, people will not be able to increase their growth and strength in the upper limbs. That's for sure, many gymnasts in China started practicing when they were young, and they are basically no more than 1.6 meters tall. Zhou Xuan likes basketball, knows the importance of height in this sport, his father is 176CM, his mother is 163CM, and genetics is destined to make him not too tall. I don't exercise my strength, I just run and jump, and I only grow to 186CM after the worst time. If he practiced lifting dumbbells in junior high school, he would definitely not exceed 1.8 meters.

Potter also knew that the strength of the upper limbs could not be practiced too early, and nodded: "It is difficult for you to grow taller now, practice the strength as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect your future prospects, and it is easy to get injured on the field, and it is not that you can gain a foothold in the professional league with good passing awareness." ”

"I understand."

At this time, Leonard walked over and said to Potter, "I will train after every training day of the week, and you should ask him to put the strength training at the bottom of the line." Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to practice shooting well. ”

The more accurate the defender's shot, the more powerful the blocking and dismantling tactics will be, and Leonard has regarded Zhou Xuan as one of the team's tactical cores.

The manager spoke, and Potter certainly had to cooperate. "Then you can start practicing alone tomorrow, and remember to ask the staff to lock the door when you leave the arena."

"I also have to participate in the training together, if I play, I can't always stay full of energy, and it's good to shoot when I don't have the strength."

It's easier to improve by trying your best, and if you consume too much strength, it will affect the accuracy of your shooting practice. Since Zhou Xuan joined the team, he has been practicing every day. Mid-range shooting, speed running, free throws, dribbling...... Now that he has moved to live near the stadium, he has to work harder! Struggle! I didn't go back until I had no strength.

In the evening, he practiced Zhongtou, ate something at a fast food restaurant, and returned to the apartment at eight o'clock.

Mitchell was watching a food show, turned his head and beckoned, and said with a smile: "I'm back, aren't you going to play with the team tomorrow?" Why are you still practicing so late? ”

"The season is over very quickly. There is a saying in China that the stupid bird flies first, and I hurry up. Zhou Xuan poured a glass of water, took a few sips, and leaned back on another sofa.

"I haven't heard of this, but I know that you are not stupid." Mitchell smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, "Zhou, do you know how to cook?" ”

Americans especially like to watch food shows and cooking competitions, but there are only a few who can cook, and they all go to restaurants to eat after watching things. Chinese food is especially popular, and Americans find Chinese very wise, as can be seen from two points, one is that Chinese Chinese is particularly difficult to learn, broad and profound, and the other is that they are very good at cooking. Chinese people can almost make money when they open restaurants in the United States. Every party, Baile meal, the food brought by the Chinese is always quickly snatched up.

Since Mitchell asked, he must have wanted to taste it. Today, there is a program of Chinese cuisine on TV, along with the address of the restaurant. Zhou Xuan smiled: "What, you want to eat Chinese food?" ”

"Yes, I have a lot of research on China, and I heard that Chinese cook very well." Mitchell licked his tongue with a yearning look.

"If you buy the ingredients, I can make these Chinese dishes, and the craftsmanship is not bad." Zhou Xuan said with a smile. Now he has no money to pay the rent, and he is a little embarrassed to live here in vain.

Zhou Gaozhuo is a chef of Lu cuisine, although he has not participated in a competition, but his cooking skills are unique. Zhou Xuan learned to cook from his father since he was a child, and he was originally trained as a chef.

"Really? Then wait until you come back from the competition. ”

"No problem, you can stir-fry here, right?"

"Of course. But we'll have to wait four days. Mitchell sighed, "I'm going to Denver." ”

"See the client?"

"Help people negotiate. His name is Vaughn. Weaver, on the contrary to you, can participate in the slam dunk contest if he is in good physical condition, but his ball quotient is low and he basically can't pass the ball. The Nuggets are short on the guard line and play fast-paced, so I think maybe I'll be interested in him and I'll have to help him get a job. Mitchell laughed.

"Then I wish you all the best."

"Thank you."

The two chatted about "eating". Mitchell is a foodie, and although he is not good at cooking, he knows a lot about international cuisines. Zhou Xuan, the chef's son, was stunned when he heard it.

"Mitchell, if you open a restaurant, I think you will definitely make money."

"It's not like I haven't thought about opening a restaurant, but I can't find a good chef and I don't want to leave the basketball world, so forget it. But your dad is a chef, so why don't you send him to the United States to open a restaurant, I recommend a few addresses, and he will definitely make a fortune. Mitchell laughed.

It's a great idea to bring my parents to the United States to open a restaurant. Zhou Gaozhuo's goal is to have his own restaurant, Masha has no goal at all, and there is no passion to be a teacher, as long as Zhou Xuan is doing well, she is fine, and it should be no problem to come to the United States. But they will only be welcomed by the government when Zhou Xuan earns enough money to invest in the United States.

In order for his parents to live a good life, he is even more eager to join the NBA. Play well, brush up on the data, and be selected for this year's NBA draft.
