Despite the loss, Zhou Xuan's stats were eye-catching, and Chinese fans are expecting more from him, and his career is starting to get on track.

Back in Los Angeles for a day of rest, the defenders then played at home against underdogs Arsenal Anaheim, a team worse than the defenders and bottom of the league, having won just eight games so far, and probably less than 10 in a season. The quality of the players is generally low, and basically no experience in the NBA. How can a defender be polite in the face of such an opponent? The defenders are alive and well.

Payne had only 12 points and 5 rebounds in the last game, compared to 22 points, 18 rebounds and 3 blocks against Fedenko. In this game, he fully demonstrated the essence of bullying the weak and fearing the hard. The game is very positive, and at first glance, I want to make up for the data on the field. And he did, slashing down 33 points, 15 rebounds and zero assists.

Zhou Xuan's performance was not bad, with 12 points, 1 rebound, 13 assists and 1 steal. After three games, he averaged 15+ assists per game, leading the development league assists list, and it would be against the sky to have this kind of performance in the NBA.

Many Chinese fans believe that he should be brought to the Olympics, and the lack of organizers for the Chinese team will definitely be improved. Tieba is especially lively, and some fans say that he should enter the first round of the draft, on the grounds that if Sun Yue goes to play NBDL, he will definitely not get this kind of data.

Not only fans, but also NBA team management has noticed Zhou Xuan, that is another team in Los Angeles - Los Angeles Clippers!

In the Clippers manager's office, Elgin, a Hall of Fame star who serves as the manager. Baylor is in discussions with head coach Dunleavy about the team, and Dunleavy is looking to bolster the back line with a ten-day contract. Baylor disagreed, feeling that it was causing him trouble, and the owner said that he was giving up on this season.

"I'm okay with giving up this season, but the point guard position has to be strengthened, even next season, we have to face the same problem, and the rest of the game might as well find a young man to practice." Dunleavy stuck to his ideas.

"Who do you have a crush on?"

"The Chinese of the Defenders, Zhou Xuan." Dunleavy is coloring.

"The guy who hit the coach and was fired, was smashed by the man who jumped off the building, and then found a team to enter the development league by himself?" Baylor had heard of Zhou Xuan, and his news was so interesting.

"That's him. He's played three games with defenders and averaged over 15 assists per game, and the scouts went to see two of them and said he had a very good sense of passing and we could try him on a ten-day contract and cut him if he didn't play well. Dunleavy proposed.

The Clippers are a hapless team that gets lottery picks almost every year in the draft, but they don't pick a few good players. The star of the house, Elton. Brand led the team to a second round of the playoffs, beating the Lakers for a season, and it looked like the Clippers were going to rise, but the good times were short-lived, and the team was plagued by injuries again this season. Brand was seriously injured in training and was out for the season. Without a "captain", the clipper would have been the Titanic, which could only sink.

The Clippers' guard line has always been a shortcoming, which is why they can't do better. Today's main point guard is Tim, a famous alien in the NBA. Cassel, the veteran was fierce when he was in the Bucks and the Timberwolves, and he was retired to the Clippers, and he was very slow and only had experience left, and it was time to take the spaceship back to Mars.

Back then, the Clippers were optimistic about the high school zodiac Eun. Livingston's future, thinking that he could become the second "Penny" Hardaway, recruited him into the team. As a result, Livingston was too thin to adapt to NBA-level confrontations, and his excellent skills could not be used, and he was seriously injured.

Another veteran, Blevin. Knight is also out with an injury, starting Kassel is off the court, and the Clippers can only field white guard Dan now. Dickau, he's characterless in every way, he's just a bastard. HEIGHT 183CM, 86 KG, STRONG PHYSIQUE, SLOW SPEED, POOR DEFENSE, POOR ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, AVERAGE SHOOTING. After this season, the Clippers have no intention of re-signing Decaw.

The two discussed. Baylor also thinks that it is a good idea to introduce such a potential stock as Zhou Xuan at a low price. The record doesn't matter, the rest of the season can still attract the box office, and the Chinese will definitely pay attention to the Clippers.

The Clippers and Lakers share Staples Arena and are closely connected. The Lakers introduced Sun Yue for the Chinese market. Now that Zhou Xuan has been in the news repeatedly, Chinese fans' expectations for him are no less than Sun Yue. With Zhou Xuan, how can it be compared to Dan. Dikao is a person with no future.

Scouts have found out Zhou Xuan's agent phone number, and Baylor called Mitchell, who is far away in Denver. Butler.

Mitchell had just helped Weaver end his negotiations with the Denver Nuggets when he was about to leave the airport when he received a phone call. When he heard that the Clippers wanted to give Zhou Xuan a 10-day short contract, he was stunned for a while before he reacted, and he really wanted to ask what the Clippers thought, Zhou Xuan had only played three games, and it was too easy to enter the NBA.

Mitchell really wanted to help Zhou Xuan agree, but this opportunity could only be given up, because Zhou Xuan was under the age of 19. In China, he did not finish high school, and left school in the second year to go to the United States alone. After a year of high school in the United States, he went to college, and after two months of school, he was expelled. He didn't turn 19 until June this year, but by then the season was over. If signing the Clippers now is a violation.

Baylor listened to Mitchell explain that knowing that Zhou Xuan was so young, the first thought was that there was potential and something to look forward to, and the tragedy of Livingston entering the league early and causing reimbursement was completely forgotten. He asked, "Mitchell, can he come to the Clippers next season?" ”

"He's going to play in this year's NBA draft, and if he's interested, the Clippers could let him go to a tryout and then sign him with a draft pick. It's a good deal, he's Chinese, and if he joins the defenders at the beginning of the season, I bet he can lead the team to the playoffs and be selected as an NBDL All-Star, and he must be better than Sun Yue, who plays exhibition games in the ABA. Mitchell said a bunch of good things about Zhou Xuan, and compared Sun Yue, although he had never seen Sun Yue play at all.

Baylor laughed: "It's useless for you to say this now, in that case, I'll think about it." Hope there will be opportunities for cooperation. ”

If Zhou Xuan is signed with draft picks, the Clippers management needs to discuss it carefully. Because their draft picks must be very high, even second-round picks are the top ones. Although Zhou Xuan is Chinese, he has too little playing experience, and the NBDL has less than half a season of experience, and the specific level needs to be verified. Even if he is selected, he is estimated to be outside the top 50.

Hanging up the phone, Mitchell was in a good mood and felt like he was lucky. Weaver stays on Denver's side and will finish the season with the team, as long as the performance is not too bad, and the job will be settled next season. Zhou Xuan's development progress is beyond imagination, and he has begun to fantasize about what Zhou Xuan will look like in the NBA next season. As long as Zhou Xuan stands firm in the NBA, he should also become famous within three years and become a gold medal agent who counts money and plays at home.

Afternoon Mitchell. Butler returned to Los Angeles and immediately called Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan had just finished shooting practice and was resting, picked up the phone and said with a smile: "Mitchell, are you back?" ”

"Come back, I'll give you good news, you can't imagine what's going on, you guess first."

"Big brother, I can't even imagine what happened, how can I guess? Are you the little girl in "4400 People"? Zhou Xuan said.

"Ha Luha, make an American joke." Mitchell laughed, "Elgin, the manager of the Clippers." Baylor called me in the morning and said he wanted to sign you on a 10-day contract, but you were not old enough to refuse. ”

The rules that cannot be logged in to the NBA before the age of 19, Zhou Xuan is very clear. He was happy to hear the news, which proved that his abilities were recognized by many people. As long as he continues to play well, more NBA teams will know him and pay attention to him. The NBA seemed to be just around the corner, and he could step in as soon as he lifted his foot.

"You're definitely going to be able to play in the NBA in six months, and I talked to Baylor for a while, and the Clippers should be looking for you to try out with the team in the offseason, and if you do well, they might draft you with draft picks, and then you can stay in the big city of Los Angeles and play." Mitchell said excitedly: "I have already negotiated with Weaver, the Nuggets give him a chance to finish this season, you have to believe me, I will also help you gain a foothold in the NBA." ”

"I believe in you, thank you!"

Mitchell paused on the other end of the phone and said, "How about having dinner together tonight?" Would you like to come back and cook? ”

"Okay, I'll be back in a moment." What he promised, Zhou Xuan must do it, it doesn't matter if he practices for a while. He wants to treat Mitchell to show him how he cooks.

"It's decided, I'm going to buy materials. What do you need to say, I'll take notes. ”

Zhou Xuan said some ingredients, as well as ingredients, and made an appointment to go back, and Mitchell went to the supermarket.

They haven't known each other for a long time, and the two have become friends. They share a common language, and Mitchell, although 42 years old, retains a youthful mentality. Playful, passionate. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he wasn't married. Once a person gets married, he will age very quickly, and the family and children will make people feel that they are elders. No matter how old a bachelor who is not married, he also feels that he is a young man and can always keep up with the trend of the times.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Xuan returned home, and Mitchell couldn't wait. He pointed to the ingredients on the table and said with a wry smile: "Do you need help?" What time do you have to do when you come back at this time? ”

"It won't take long to get it done, and cooking is not a hassle for me." Zhou Xuan took off his sportswear, changed into an apron and went into the kitchen.

As soon as he saw Zhou Xuan's terrifying speed of chopping vegetables, Mitchell knew that he was not bragging. He has watched a lot of food shows, and some of the chefs on TV are not as good as Zhou Xuan's, and he is also very strategic, boiling the soup first, and making another one at the same time, without panic at all.

Is this the legendary genius? It's versatile.
