"In today's game, the Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors at home without Kobe Bryant playing and scored a big win. It is worth mentioning that the Lakers grabbed 57 rebounds in this game, while the opponent Warriors only got 28. The Lakers' dominance in rebounding has allowed them to win again and again, and their record has greatly exceeded expectations. ”

Draymond Green, the Warriors' abandoned player, had 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game, and as a 3/4 forward swingman, his athleticism and all-round skills make him very potential. And Nick Young, who was used to exchange Green, only scored 4 points. Clearly, the Lakers made a winning deal. ”

"Since the beginning of the new season, the Lakers have made great improvements and improvements in rebounding and defense. So far, the Lakers' offense has obviously improved again, which is really incredible. Considering that the D'Antoni brothers are recuperating, it's hard to imagine which coach is causing the magic. ”

The Lakers defeated the Warriors, and the media heat after the game was not small.

Of most interest to fans and the outside world, how the Lakers were able to take credit for such a change in one offseason and credit D'Antoni.

That's obviously a bit far-fetched, considering that D'Antoni's record in F4 last season was really bad and disappointing.

Considering that Phil Webber and Dan D'Antoni are both old partners of Mike D'Antoni, it is obvious that they are from the same scoop, and it is naturally difficult to surpass Mike D'Antony's level, and the transformation of this team naturally cannot be linked to them.

Is it the player's own fault? can look at the Lakers' lineup, Kobe Bryant returned from an Achilles tendon injury, Nash has been fighting with injuries, and "soft" Gasol is a year older, and Howard, who was initially considered the future of the Lakers, defected to Houston...... As for the extra few rookies, rookie Noel has not yet been able to play his first NBA game, and Whiteside and Draymond Green are completely unable to play before joining the Lakers.

Obviously, the Lakers' lineup has not improved, but it has deteriorated, but the record is unusually good.

This is where people are puzzled.

For this reason, Donald, the writer of the Lakers column of the Los Angeles Times, analyzed this problem, and the protagonist of his pen turned out to be Chu Xuan, a hairy boy. As soon as this point of view appeared, it immediately sparked heated discussions.

In response, Donald just responded: "Even though this is unbelievable, according to what I know from the players and the team, Chu Xuan's role in it is absolutely immeasurable." He's the one who brings good chemistry to this Lakers team, and he's a really good coach regardless of his age. ”

*******

Los Angeles, Staples Center.

Gasol, who was wearing a Lakers training uniform, appeared beside Chu Xuan, and the eyes he looked at Chu Xuan were full of very complicated looks, convinced, surprised, and dependent.

"Chu, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Chu Xuan looked at Gasol, who was smiling and squinting, and immediately wondered if the Spaniard's words were describing himself.

In fact, Gasol is in a good mood is completely understandable, in last night's game, he scored 30 points and 10 rebounds, extremely efficient, and became the hero of the Lakers' victory. This made him sweep away the haze of last season, how can he not be in a good mood.

"You have to know, Paul, that you have to keep up the good mood." Chu Xuan said with a smile.

Gasol's eyes moved, and he nodded quickly: "Yes, you're right." Actually, I'm very happy too, and I hope to keep that feeling alive. ”

Chu Xuan chuckled and nodded, "I know you're in a good mood." Paul, seriously, I appreciate your technique. In my opinion, you are the most indispensable in the Lakers. I want you to be able to play like you did against the Warriors, and you need to carry the team on your shoulders when Kobe Bryant isn't around. ”

"Thank you a lot for the last game. Without your help, I don't think I would have been able to get David Lee that easily. It's just that I haven't felt like a leader for a long, long time, and Memphis has become a distant memory. Gasol said, a look of remembrance on his face.

"Paul, you shouldn't be nostalgic for the past, that's what we'll do decades later. We've got to look to the future, and as I said last time, you can't shake your confidence, you need to keep in mind that you're an All-Star and you can do many, many things. "Chu Xuan's face is incomparable.

In fact, Gasol's mentality has changed too much. He's better suited to be a second-in-command, and his heart isn't strong enough to make him the leader of a team.

However, today's Chu Xuan has no choice. The rookies he chose weren't growing up anytime soon, Kobe's situation was too much for him to bear, and Nash was on the verge of retirement.

Therefore, looking at the Lakers today, the only person Chu Xuan can choose is Pau Gasol. He wanted to awaken the bloody nature and memories that the Memphis Bear King had been dormant for years.

At this point, though, it's not easy. The 33-year-old Gasol is past that age of spirited and fantastic. Nowadays, he is more inclined to play steadfastly and do his role well until the end of his career.

"Okay, Chu. I'm going to do my best, I'm willing to try everything for the sake of the team, I just want him to go in a good direction. Gasol thought for a moment, his expression a little complicated. However, he still made a promise to Chu Xuan.

When Chu Xuan saw his appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he was still very calm on the surface: "Well, Paul." I'm sure you'll be fine. You know, Kobe Bryant's Lakers are struggling right now, and you're the only one who can help him the most. ”

When Pau Gasol heard this, his expression was shocked, and he immediately nodded heavily.

When Chu Xuan witnessed this scene, a different meaning suddenly appeared on his face.

*******

After chatting with Gasol, Chu Xuan paced and wandered around the training hall.

Looking at the players who were talking and laughing and training with different expressions, Chu Xuan smiled slightly, and couldn't help but think about things.

After a while, Ryan West, the Lakers' director of player affairs, appeared at the gate of the training hall and called out Chu Xuan's name.

"Chu, hurry up and come to the conference room."

Chu Xuan came back to his senses and saw Ryan West, who was waving at him, and was a little surprised that he was going to have a meeting at this time.

"Okay, Ryan, you go first, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, Chu Xuan walked outside with a confused head.

When he walked to the door, Chu Xuan suddenly turned his head and shouted at the training hall: "Guys, train hard, don't be lazy." I'll be watching you on the spotlight. ”

When a group of players heard this, they immediately laughed.

"Okay, Chu, we won't be lazy until you come back." Whiteside shouted.
