A comprehensive meeting room in the heart of Staples.

Chu Xuan hummed a little song and pushed open the door, and looked fixedly, the people sitting inside were a little surprising to Chu Xuan.

Sitting in the main seat was Lakers President Jenny Buss, and when she saw Chu Xuan coming in, she couldn't help but look at Chu Xuan.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's start today's meeting."

After seeing Chu Xuan find a place to sit down, General Manager Kupchak spoke.

The meeting was attended by all members of the coaching staff, general manager Kupchak, president Jeanie Buss and some members of the management.

This lineup was a little surprising to Chu Xuan, and he couldn't guess what today's meeting was about.

Seeing that everyone was expressionless, Chu Xuan didn't show anything, just listened quietly.

Kupchak looked around, and his gaze suddenly stayed on Chu Xuan's body.

"Today's meeting is mainly about the coaching staff. First of all, a management resolution was notified, Chu Xuan will officially become the assistant coach of the team, responsible for assisting the head coach, and can temporarily coach the team if necessary. ”

After Kupchak finished speaking, Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment.

All along, he was only a nominal teaching assistant, not a teaching assistant in the real sense. At least, not in terms of salary.

Now that Kupchak has officially announced his appointment as an assistant coach, it means that he has officially entered the NBA coaching family from today. And, his salary will certainly not be a scout's salary anymore.

This decision was very sudden, and Chu Xuan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Except for him, the others were very calm, which made Chu Xuan can't help but feel that he was not the only one who didn't know about this decision.

Seeing Chu Xuan in a daze, Kupchak couldn't help laughing: "Chu, it's not okay for you to be so stunned. I think you can talk about your thoughts, your thoughts on the future work. ”

Facing everyone's gaze, Chu Xuan's face calmed down: "It's too sudden, but it makes me happy." I feel like I'm up to the job, and I'm going to do my best. For my job, I want to make the Lakers have a better record and at the same time allow the team's young players to grow up quickly. ”

Kupchek couldn't stop nodding, obviously agreeing with what Chu Xuan said.

In fact, for Kupchak, the pressure on him as general manager is very high now.

Originally, the Lakers were sluggish and had a poor record last season, and if it continues, it is very likely to anger the Buss family leaders. This season, the Lakers' roster is weaker, and Kupchak's concern was very big at first.

But to his surprise, the Lakers not only played an excellent record, but also gained some potential players. And it was Chu Xuan who brought all this.

Therefore, Kupchak's impression of Chu Xuan can be said to have changed greatly.

Therefore, today, he tried his best to overcome public opinion and helped Chu Xuan to the position of official assistant teacher.

"Chu's work ability is obvious to all, and I don't think I will say much about this. He's very dedicated, and he's helped the team a lot in terms of offense, defense, rebounding, and that's what got the team to where it is now. Speaking of which, I was amazed at how amazing he was able to grow. Kupchak smiled and talked about his opinion of Chu Xuan.

While Kupchak was talking, Phil Webb and other members of the coaching staff also nodded incessantly. As partners and colleagues, they definitely have the most profound understanding of Chu Xuan's ability.

However, the guys in the Lakers management don't seem to recognize Chu Xuan very much, after all, he is too young.

Jenny Bass withdrew her gaze from Chu Xuan and suddenly said, "Young man, oh no, Mr. Chu Xuan. Chu's qualities make me feel familiar, he can be as good as Phil. I suggest that the team can bring Phil back, and with his help, Chu will definitely become a great coach. I can convince him to teach Chu that this opportunity is rare. ”

When Chu Xuan heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Jeanie Buss's move was undoubtedly to take this opportunity to bring Phil Jackson back to the Lakers, but knowing that the Buss family didn't want Phil Jackson to participate in the Lakers' internal affairs, Kupchak just smiled and didn't answer.

The other members of the management also had different expressions, and no one spoke at all.

However, Jeanie Buss did not feel embarrassed, she smiled very naturally: "Phil's ability is clear to everyone, and I will mention it again now, just to remind everyone, that is, don't be blinded by something." That would only lead to a very bad future for the team. ”

When Jeanie Bass finished speaking, she was silent.

Chu Xuan's eyes rolled a few times, he was a human being, and he already knew very well what Jeanie Bass was doing.

Jeanie Buss made such a statement, apparently still not giving up on the plan to bring Phil Jackson back to the Lakers. However, now that Jim Buss has mastered Lakers management, the possibility of Phil Jackson wanting to return is almost non-existent.

You know, this is a power struggle within the Bass family, and the reason why Jim Bass is willing to give up Phil Jackson regardless of the future of the team is precisely to be able to completely control the Lakers and prevent Phil Jackson and Jeanie Buss from wanting to control the Lakers. It's about the ownership of the Bass family, so Jim Bass can be said to be unscrupulous. This shows the ruthlessness of the struggle between wealthy families, and there is no family affection at all.

Actually, Chu Xuan understood Jim Bass's approach. After all, Phil Jackson is an outsider, and his desire to use his relationship with Jeanie Buss to enter the power center of the Lakers is undoubtedly ill-intentioned. But the Lakers are the private property of the Bass family, how can Jim Bass be willing to let outsiders get involved. In addition, the relationship between Phil Jackson and Jim Bass has always been discordant, so getting rid of Phil Jackson is like getting rid of a piece of Jim Bass's heart.

Therefore, how could he be willing to allow this heart disease to happen again?

So, it can be said that as long as Jim Bass is in power, all of Jeanie Bass's efforts will be in vain.

However, judging from the current situation, this woman who acted decisively and had a wild style did not give up.

The conference room was silent for a while, and Kupchak suddenly laughed, naturally changing the subject.

"Now that the matter about Chu has been said, then I will talk about the second thing that needs to be announced. Coach Mike De Anthony's condition is not very good, and according to the latest examination, his knee injury has recurred. There is a good chance that he will miss all the games that will come this season. In this situation, you are under a lot of pressure as a coach. In the future, I hope that you will be able to assist Mr. Phil Webb well in his coaching work. ”

After Chu Xuan heard this, he instantly felt sad for D'Antoni.

Originally, Mike De Antony had just undergone knee surgery last year, and his recovery was not very good, so he took over as the head coach, which was already a hidden danger. And the last car accident in New Orleans was obviously the cause of his repeated knee injuries.
