Chapter 110: Brother Alphabet
Lakers General Manager's Office.
Kupchak was sitting on the couch, looking at a document in his hand, and the expression on his face could be described as extremely complex, with joy, contemplation, and surprise.
After reading it, Kupchak couldn't help but be in a daze.
At this moment, Chu Xuan pushed the door and walked in.
"Mickey, you're looking for me?"
Kupchak walked out of his trance, nodded: "Chu, have you read Giannis's physical examination report?" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the document he had just read and handed it to Chu Xuan.
"I know about his physical test, but I'm so busy with work that I haven't had time to see the results yet. What's wrong? Could there be something wrong with his medical examination? ”
Chu Xuan couldn't help but tighten in his heart, you must know that in the NBA, if you can't pass the physical examination, the transaction will be blown up.
Seeing that Antetokounmpo was about to arrive, how could Chu Xuan be willing to let him leave again.
Kupchak shook his head: "It's no problem, it's just that my physical test report really surprised me, I've never seen such a perfect body, he was literally made for basketball." ”
Chu Xuan flipped through the documents and looked at them.
"Giannis Antetokounmpo
Born on December 6, 1994
Height: Six feet 10 and a half inches (209cm)
Weight: 210 lbs
Reach: 7 ft 3 in (218cm)
100m speed......"
After a while, Chu Xuan put the document aside and said with a smile: "Mickey, as you said, Giannis's body is simply perfect. But your expression tells me what you seem to be unhappy about this? ”
Kupchak shook his head: "I'm not dissatisfied, I'm just having a headache about how to arrange his role and position." I've never seen a big man close to seven feet who can have the body and agility of a defender. It is true that just looking at his physical condition, this deal should not be lost. It's just, what position did he play? ”
After hearing this, Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Mickey, you don't have to worry, I've already thought about his arrangements." I'll let Steve train him well. ”
After Chu Xuan finished speaking, Kupchak's eyes suddenly widened: "Do you want him to play point guard?" ”
Chu Xuan smiled slightly, noncommittal.
"Oh God, it's crazy. Giannis going to play point guard? Can this really work? You know, he's still an inch longer based on bone age tests, which means you're going to build a seven-foot point guard? Kupchak's voice was full of amazement.
Chu Xuan smiled: "Yes, at least that's what I decided." Giannis has great physical flexibility, and he has a good point guard base. So why can't we do that? All he lacks is a good teacher, and that's where we have Steve. ”
"Chu, he has the same height as Kevin Durant, but you let him play point guard, aren't you worried about his dribbling center of gravity?"
"Of course I did, but he's not going to be a pure playmaking point guard, and I'm going to develop his interior skills and shooting ability. Actually, it's not so much that I want to make him a playmaking defender as a playmaking striker. I want him to be an all-round epoch-making player. Chu Xuan's expression was full of confidence.
"Oh God, it's crazy. I seem to see a new age of magicians, oh no, organizers who are taller than magicians. Kupchak exclaimed, "By the way, Chu, are you going to do that right away?" ”
Chu Xuan shook his head slightly: "Of course not, it's a long process." Giannis has so much to learn and I won't give him such a burden this season. However, I would make him a playmaker on the bench first. He will be the puzzle piece of our future champions. ”
"Chu, your idea is really good, but I still think he should be molded into a player of Kevin Durant's type." Kupchak said.
Chu Xuan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Mickey, are you doubting my ability?" You know, Norris, they were all raised by me. Give Giannis to me, and you should rest assured that I will produce an alternative All-Star caliber player for you. ”
"Actually, if Giannis can become a player like Kevin Durant, I will not hesitate to let him develop in that direction. However, his talent on offense is not particularly good, and his palms are too big, which affects his shooting. ”
Kupchak nodded, and according to Antetokounmpo's medical report, the distance between his thumb and little finger reached a terrifying 31 centimeters. In other words, his palms are bigger than the Spurs' Leonard and Rajon Rondo.
"Chu, this is also where my headache is. Giannis is the body of a center forward, the body of a defender, he is a monster. Haha, well, I believe we got a good seedling. It's all up to you, and I still believe in you. ”
Chu Xuan smiled slightly, his expression was also full of anticipation: "Actually, I am also a little impatient for Giannis's future. Maybe that sentence is more appropriate. ”
"The sky is his limit."
……
Walking out of Kupchak's office, Chu Xuan rushed to the training ground, and by this time, the three new players who joined the Lakers, Pachulia, Novak and Antetokounmpo, had already mingled with the Lakers' players.
"Hey guys, what are you guys talking about? I was so happy. ”
"We're talking about the team's winning streak, and everybody's talking about how many winning streaks we can get."
When Chu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I can understand that you guys are looking forward to when to lose?" I think you should be thinking about how to extend the winning streak, not thinking about when the winning streak will end. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed again: "Chu, you're right. We should think like this and aim to win all the games that are left of the season. ”
"Well, that's right."
Chu Xuan nodded.
"All right, guys. Originally, I wanted to introduce you to three new members of the team, but now it seems that I don't need to. ”
In the NBA, players generally have friendships with each other, and some of them have contacts in private. Especially a veteran like Novak knows many people from the Lakers. Therefore, after his arrival, he quickly mingled with the crowd.
"Giannis, Steve, you two come with me."
Nash and Antetokounmpo were very surprised when they heard this. If this Chu Xuan was talking to them, of course it would be quite normal. However, at this time, it is a little confusing to let them go together.
