Chapter 501: Charity Match, Big Names Gather!
"Xu Xuan's drive is subtle, and perhaps these Lakers role players don't know it themselves. But that's it, silently growing.
Now everyone is comparing Wei Shao's data with Xu Xuan's data, maybe Wei Shao's assists and rebounds are higher than Xu Xuan's, but I have analyzed that most of Wei Shao's assists come from hard smashing and hard throwing, anyway, I gave you the ball, you don't care what is in front of you, what will happen if you throw it, what will happen if you can't throw it, just throw it directly, don't let me see it, I gave you the ball, you are standing there stupidly, you don't shoot or move.
And what about Xu Xuan? His passing was the complete opposite of Willis's. Xu Xuan is that you have to run out of position by yourself and find opportunities by yourself, you don't have to be afraid that you find a chance and there is no ball, as long as you have a chance, I will pass the ball to you.
One is passive and the other is active.
Therefore, you will find that when Xu Xuan passes the ball, the assist rate is generally very high, much higher than the assist rate that Wei Shao smashed out, Wei Shao is purely based on quantity and quality? Xu Xuan absolutely dumped him for ten streets......"
"When it comes to the ability to drive teammates, except for James or Xu Xuan, there is no second person in this league who can be as good as the two of them."
Driving teammates to put it bluntly is how to be the boss.
And how to be a good boss is indeed a very advanced knowledge.
Being the boss has successes, but there are also failures.
The more typical is Irving, who has proven to be really not suitable to be the boss, whether it is with the Celtics or the Nets......
Owen is too arrogant, he should learn from the thick eyebrows, and when he is not yet in his fledgling position, he should be low-key and humble.
In his previous life, let's say, Owen didn't leave the Celtics and continued to stay with the Cavaliers.
Then James won't go either.
That year, Irving, who was born in 1922, was just 25 years old, and James was 33 years old, 8 years older than Irving.
Eight years old, that's eight years, eight years is all the career of some players.
No matter how strong James is and how well he is physically maintained, can he play until he is 50 years old? 60 years old?
Impossible!
Even if he is well maintained and aged, he is fine, you wouldn't expect him to play like a 35-year-old at 40, right?
Impossible!
The further you go, the faster your strength declines.
As long as Owen is willing to wait....... Why not? Thick eyebrows can wait, why is he unwilling?
I didn't see how happy I was in my previous life, and I wasn't in a hurry.
He is young, James can't be the boss forever, there will always be a day when he hands over the boss's position, and at that time, he has learned everything he should have learned, and he knows everything he should know, and it is natural for him to be the boss.
Of course, you can also disagree, Owen did just that, he didn't wait.
The result?
As a result, nothing was done......
Of course, you have to say Xu Xuan's words......
Xu Xuan is a natural leader who others can't learn......
......
"Xu, tomorrow night, there will be a charity basketball game, you prepare, this time many people will participate."
After the game against the Nets, Carson came to the locker room to find Xu Xuan.
"What charity race?"
"A charity race on brain tumors, co-sponsored by the UCLA Ronald Regan Medical Center and the University of Southern California Hospital." Carson flipped through the information and said with a smile, "Don't look at it, just one of your active players, the others are retired, that is, Kobe, O'Neal, Charles." ”
Xu Xuan pursed his lips, I see.
He thought he would invite old Zhan Tou and Curry.
"But don't underestimate this charity game, I heard that there are a lot of big names who will come, and many of them are super rich or famous people in Los Angeles."
Xu Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.
After all, it's Los Angeles, the home of Hollywood, where many big names are mixed.
"Speaking of which, this charity game was initiated by Kobe Bryant, and he proposed that only one of the active players invite you."
Xu Xuan nodded.
Kobe Bryant had told him about it a long time ago.
It's not that simple to integrate into a team, especially a player like Xu Xuan, who can become a symbol of the team, sometimes you have to be recognized not only by the fans, but also by these very strong local people.
Especially in a big city like Angel City, even Kobe Bryant can't say that he will be able to eat in this city.
There are too many rich and energetic people here to count.
Carson said teasingly: "Kobe Bryant really regards you as a successor, this is taking you to meet the local boss." ”
"When does this game start?"
"Eight o'clock tomorrow night."
Xu Xuan nodded and asked, "Did you give Lin Yun the invitation?" ”
"Miss Lin said she didn't have time to participate in this charity meeting, but she had already sent a million dollars in your name in advance." Corson replied.
"A million?" Xu Xuan frowned.
There is no admission fee for this charity event. It relies almost exclusively on donations from the rich, so the organizers of the competition will try to invite some wealthy people to participate.
But as an invited "performer", do I also have to donate?
And donate so much?
"I also think it's too much, but Miss Lin said that this is how to make a splash." Carson smiled wryly.
“...... Okay" Xu Xuan was speechless, is this what a rich man thinks?
"Then you let me know in advance and help me prepare something." Xu Xuan commanded.
......
Charity Race on the second day.
Xu Xuan came to Staples Arena early to prepare.
Kobe Bryant and they also arrived, and this charity game was led by Kobe.
This guy wore a large sunglasses and sunglasses that covered half of his face, walked into the arena coolly, and shouted at Xu Xuan from a distance: "Xu, I won't let you tonight, are you ready to enjoy the gift of your Uncle Kobe?" ”
"Boom!"
Xu Xuan spat out...... Dismissive of him...... I'm afraid you're not dreaming, old man, you say the opposite, I don't have the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young.
"By the way, who am I on the same team with today?" Xu Xuan asked, he really didn't ask about the grouping, there are generally only ten people in the charity competition, and there are even fewer, and the playing time will be relatively short, usually the eldest brother is about half an hour.
He asked before, but Carson didn't know either, because Bryant said it was a suspense, and the suspense would not be revealed until the end.
"Give money." Kobe Bryant reached out coolly.
"Give what money?" Xu Xuan was inexplicable.
"If you want to know the suspense in advance, you must give money, why should I tell you if you don't give money?" Bryant asked rhetorically.
“......”
Xu Xuan was speechless, forget it...... When people are old, something is going to go wrong mentally...... Not as knowledgeable as him.
Soon, O'Neill and they arrived.
O'Neal, Barkley and others also came.
Xu Xuan looked at it, except for Barkley and a few others, most of the rest had played in the Lakers before, not so much a charity game, but a "friendly game between old and new" of the Lakers.
It's just that Xu Xuan is the only one who is "new".
The staff here are preparing small gifts for the meeting.
There's nothing special about it, it's just jerseys and sneakers.
It's just that these jerseys and shoes will be signed by the players who are here today.
It is said that other people's signatures are not valuable, but the signatures of Xu Xuan, Kobe and O'Neal are still quite valuable, Xu Xuan usually does not sign much, but there are a batch in China, but it is also a drop in the ocean.
With Kobe Bryant hosting, as well as O'Neal and Barkley, the atmosphere at the scene was maintained well.
And Kenny Smith didn't come, he and Reggie Miller are the commentators of the day.
When it was getting late, many celebrities who received invitations began to enter.
"Holy! There are a lot of people, just this moment I saw three actors, one actress, and three Grammy winners. Xu Xuan and they were still warming up, and Kobe Bryant was next to him, wearing the No. 24 jersey, shooting leisurely.
Hearing this, Kobe Bryant glanced at Xu Xuan.
"Little brother, who do you think I am? Dude is very well-connected, okay. ”
"You know them all?" Xu Xuan said suspiciously.
When it comes to connections, he really doesn't have much in addition to the NBA circle.
"I....... All know. Bryant coughed and paused.
So magical? Do you know both? Is this the big guy?
"Kobe, can you die if you don't blow it?" At this moment, O'Neill's faint voice with pity came.
Bryant: "......"
Shut up!
I'm going to let you speak!
Soul light!
......
Not many people came tonight, but it did look like the stars were shining.
Xu Xuan, under the leadership of Kobe, followed Kobe Bryant to greet the celebrities and wealthy businessmen present one by one.
Today is TNT's live broadcast, they are also one of the sponsors, and they also invited a lot of media reporters who are good friends with them to come to the scene to shoot, although they can't explain, but on this occasion, it's very good to be able to come in.
On the domestic side, it was the sports channel that was invited this time, and Zhang Lili personally led the team.
When I saw Kobe Bryant taking Xu Xuan to shake hands with the celebrities and rich people on the scene one by one, Zhang Lili's years of cultivation almost threw him directly into the dog's stomach.
"Legacy! This is the inheritance! Kobe Bryant personally took Xu Xuan and personally took Xu Xuan!! This is written on that bright edict, Xu Xuan, you are the new emperor! You are the new future! You are the designated successor to Kobe Bryant! ”
He was not the only one who was excited, but the cameraman next to him was also excited.
This is equivalent to an alternative "Taishan Feng Zen", in the future, in the Lakers, in Los Angeles, no one can question Xu Xuan in status, Xu Xuan is now the "successor of the Black Mamba"!
"As for being so grand?" Xu Xuan coughed, and he was tired of shaking hands at this time.
"You know!" Kobe Bryant's eyes widened: "These are your potential connections in the future, can you play for the rest of your life?" Can you just talk to basketball for the rest of your life?
I used to say I could, but in reality, I couldn't......"
"Well, that's a lot to say." Xu Xuan nodded.
Kobe Bryant's eyes widened: "You young players all think that you can reach the top on your own, can you actually do it?" Can you do it? It's not a simple test of strength here, there are many, many things in it, James can sit so firmly now, Durant hasn't caught up with him for so many years, you don't think it's really just strength, right? There are many things in this, strength is only a part, and other things are also very crucial. ”
"You don't have connections, people don't know you, they don't know you, who will support you? Who will support you to reach the top? Why are so many people supporting James? It's because he has a wide range of connections, in this regard, I am not as good as him, it can be said that if he takes the lead in organizing this charity match, whether it is the players present or the celebrities who come, it is estimated that there will be more than me. ”
It may be that he is retired, and Kobe's competitive spirit is no longer stubborn, of course, it may also be that he understood it before, but he just didn't admit it...... But in front of Xu Xuan, he had nothing to hide.
What to say.
"So, boy, you still have a lot to learn, while I'm not old, I'll show you more knowledge, and when you get to the future, your road will be much smoother when you walk on your own."
......
After shaking hands, because it was a charity competition and the medical community, it was just popularized first, and the knowledge about tumors was popularized.
After an hour of knowledge, the game was about to begin, the doctors left the field, and the stars continued to warm up.
The big screen above the stadium began to play the names of donors, and the biggest donor was Jim Walton, who donated a full 5 million, while the others did not reach 1 million, and many donated hundreds of dollars. These are mostly ordinary fans sitting in the audience.
"What's the matter with this Jim Walton?" Xu Xuan muttered, he was not familiar with this circle, but he could hear this name, but he couldn't remember who he was.
Walton?
Walmart?
I rub!
It can't be the big guy, right?
Xu Xuan suddenly remembered, Walton ...... Walmart ...... Not to mention anything else, he is familiar with these three words.
This is a real big guy!
How many people in the United States can be more horizontal than this one?
I guess it's not much.
Walmart, the world's largest retail store chain!
Xu Xuan secretly scolded the cheating father, he had always thought that the boss of Wal-Mart was surnamed Wal-Mart, but he didn't know that it was Walton, where is this.
......
In addition to the NBA stars, there are also several NCAA young stars who are now in the limelight, but Xu Xuan doesn't know much about them, and only sees that these kids seem to be more popular than famous stars. During the warm-up, he performed a few dunks, and the fans cheered constantly.
The game is on.
In order to protect themselves and make the game look better, the stars basically do not defend, mainly show coordination and offense, gorgeous ground passes and half-court long passes emerge in endlessly, big windmill dunks, tomahawk dunks and aerial relays appear in succession, and the scene is very hot.
NBA games, only by watching them live, can you experience the kind of blood-pumping madness.
Watching a game on TV and computer, the screen is too small to reduce the charm of the game, and then through the screen will reduce the appeal of the game again, of course, even so, the NBA has won countless fans, and if you watch it live, the kind of fanatical fans can faint because of the hot rhythm and atmosphere of the game.
