Chapter 299: Starlight
Early the next morning, Chu Xuan appeared in the hall of Bill's mansion dressed appropriately, and after breakfast, he said goodbye to Bill and his wife, and then left. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This was the first time he had stayed at Adeline's house, and the Bills seemed to have treated him as a family, which made Chu Xuan's heart that had been wandering suddenly have a sense of belonging, as if this was his home in Los Angeles.
Although rolling the sheets at night still needs to be sneaky, Chu Xuan has really completed the transformation in his mentality. He has made Adeline the other half of his life. And recalling that he had told the Bill couple last night about marrying Adeline, Chu Xuan's heart was down-to-earth and sweet.
The meaning of the Bills is very clear, that is, after Adeline graduates with a master's degree, let the two get married. Adeline herself has nothing to object to on this point. Like Chu Xuan, she longs to form a happy little family of two people.
Adeline and Chu Xuan are in the same class, that is to say, she will graduate with a master's degree the year after tomorrow, and if Chu Xuan and she want to get married, they will have to wait until the summer of 16 years at the earliest.
Although he still had to wait for more than a year, Chu Xuan's heart was already full of anticipation.
After a happy Christmas night and getting the most important good news in his life, Chu Xuan's mood was definitely very happy. He shared the news on Twitter, which immediately sparked a frenzied buzz among millions of followers.
And for a while, the whole world almost knew that Chu Xuan was going to get married in about 16 years.
Obviously, this is very congratulatory news, and Whiteside called depressedly, envious of Chu Xuan.
Regarding Whiteside's mood, Chu Xuan can understand.
Originally, he and Monica planned to get married this summer. But for some personal reasons, Phil Webb advocated that the marriage be postponed until the summer of 15.
This made Whiteside quite depressed, so when he learned that Chu Xuan was also planning to get married, Whiteside immediately congratulated Chu Xuan.
And Chu Xuan was of course comforting Whiteside, and Phil Webber might be testing his relationship with Monica. After all, for Phil Webb, who has only one daughter, he definitely wants to see his daughter entrusted to a trustworthy and responsible man.
***********
In the heat of marriage, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets back-to-back to extend their winning streak to 11 games. However, in this game, Antetokounmpo hit Faried's knee after landing on an attack, and then suffered a severe facial fracture and needed at least a month's rest.
This is very bad and unexpected, and Chu Xuan made a quick decision and chose the three-inside lineup again, but unlike before, the starting guard has changed from Antetokounmpo to Zach LaVine today.
The style of play of this lineup is quite mature, and it works very well. So when this lineup is used again, almost no one has any opinions.
Surprisingly, however, the Lakers' future was challenged, and in the final two games of December, the Lakers suffered two consecutive defeats.
This is the Lakers' first consecutive loss this season, and the atmosphere within the Lakers team has reached a lot of impact.
The media and fans erupted into a frenzy of talk about the different effects of LaVine and Antetokounmpo on the Lakers. You know, when LaVine was out of the game, the Lakers used three interior lines but they were always winning. However, at this time, Antetokounmpo was suspended, and the Lakers' three interior lines seemed to be out of order, and they lost two games in a row.
Many people feel that this is because LaVine is not as defensive and all-round as Antetokounmpo. You know, Antetokounmpo can organize, defend, and attack on the field, and has an advantage in height, and is a very well-rounded and very effective player. However, LaVine is different, he is physically emaciated, has poor confrontation, and his defensive and playmaking skills are undeveloped. It's fair to say that LaVine's role in this lineup is just that of a scorer, and he doesn't play as much as Antetokounmpo.
As a result, LaVine has been questioned, with many feeling that his cultivation value is not as good as Antetokounmpo's, even if his superficial stats are more luxurious.
Some media outlets have described LaVine as not defensive, arguing that he is a hole in the Lakers' court.
Under the rumors, Chu Xuan and General Manager Kupchak, who were trying their best to choose Raven as a choice, were naturally questioned.
However, the Lakers did not issue any response to this.
As the head coach, Chu Xuan is constantly studying the video of the game, convening the coaching staff to discuss together, and looking for what caused the Lakers to lose.
After a long day of research, when the Lakers' conference room doors opened, it all came to fruition.
Chu Xuan knew in his heart that this meeting had made him more transparent and clear, and all his doubts had been completely answered. And some things, too, have been straightened out and become very organized.
Chu Xuan had a private one-on-one conversation with each player on the team.
No one knows what Chu Xuan said to them, but the Lakers' team has been given a new look, and the spirit and appearance of the players are completely different from the previous ones.
……
In fact, after Zach LaVine's comeback, his performance on the offensive end was quite good.
He averaged 19 points per game throughout the month of December, which is a very good performance for a rookie.
While his defensive potential and playmaking potential are being questioned, his offensive talent is fully recognized.
The doubts didn't stop him from getting the honor he deserved, and on January 1, the NBA officially named the winner of the Eastern and Western Rookie of the Year, with Jabari Parker and Zach LaVine winning respectively.
Parker's individual performance declined slightly in December, but the other rookies didn't pose much of a threat to him, and he won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Year award without any suspense.
After playing in December, LaVine averaged 16.6 points per game this season, moving up to second in the rookie. Wiggins' personal performance still needs to be improved, and LaVine naturally won the best rookie in the West without any suspense.
……
Not only Zach LaVine, but the Lakers, who have too many young players, are definitely star-studded this season.
Antetokounmpo is considered a promising player to be the most improved player this season, and Whiteside is considered a potential All-Star......
In addition, the most exciting thing is that in the new edition of the MVP rankings, Knoll ranks first and Kobe Bryant ranks fourth.
As of the time of the list, Knoll has played in 34 games this season, averaging 21.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, shooting 54.1% from the field and 72.1% from the free-throw line. All the stats, compared to the previous season, are a huge improvement.
Importantly, the Lakers' 29-5 record is still the best in the league. (To be continued.) )
