"Reggie? Does he play the number two position? Kobe Bryant's eyes couldn't help but widen: "But, what is your role and purpose in making him start?" ”

Bryant felt a little puzzled, Jackson's height was too bad, otherwise Brooks would not have always used him as a substitute when he was with the Thunder, instead of replacing Saflotsa.

When he's around, opponents tend to start from the No. 2 position and use him as a breakthrough.

"He's a fierce defender, he's tough and tough, he's scoring so good that I've always seen him as a weakened version of Russell Westbrook. I'm sure he's going to start and it's going to be pretty good. Chu Xuan opened his mouth to explain.

Bryant couldn't help but wonder, but he still had some doubts: "It's really feasible to use him as an offensive point and a shooter, but I'm still worried about his defensive problems." Young people, the defensive mentality is always not as good as the old guys. ”

Hearing Kobe Bryant say this, Chu Xuan instantly understood that Kobe was undoubtedly worried that Jackson would not be able to adapt to the intensity of the playoffs, and then there would be a situation where the chain would fall at a critical moment.

"Kobe Bryant, you seem to remember only Reggie's age, he was really young, but he had already played pretty well in the playoffs, and that's when he became famous." Chu Xuan smiled slightly.

Kobe Bryant was stunned, and he couldn't help but think of the nine games that Jackson started in place of Westbrook in the playoffs last season, and Jackson contributed an average of 15.3 points per game, which is quite efficient.

"It's really feasible to use Reggie. However, it still depends on his performance, and if not, I think you need to make adjustments in time. Kobe Bryant said.

Chu Xuan made an OK gesture: "Of course, I have prepared a few spare tactics. If things really don't go well, I'll show some hole cards early. ”

Kobe couldn't help laughing: "Chu, it seems that your preparation is indeed very sufficient, I think I can now rest assured to adjust my state and prepare for the game." ”

"Yes, Kobe, you just have to focus on how to play well. All you have to do is take care of the rest. ”

***********

Half an hour later, the players' training ended.

Ryan West notified all the players to go to the conference room for a meeting, and all the Lakers players who got the news rushed to the conference room one after another.

When they saw Chu Xuan sitting in the main seat, everyone probably guessed the content of today's meeting.

Obviously, Chu Xuan wants to talk about the playoffs and make the final preparations.

The players found their seats and sat down, while Kobe Bryant sat in Chu Xuan's position, closed his eyes and recuperated, without saying a word.

Chu Xuan looked around for a moment and then started the meeting.

"The purpose of today's meeting is mainly to arrange our playoff style, which is the result of careful consideration by the coaching staff and the consent of the main personnel of the team."

"The Saramento Kings are a team with a lot of potential, DeMarcus Cousins is the player who threatens us the most, that's their strong point. On the defensive line, Marcus Thornton is the leading scorer, and their bench is pretty good. If we want to play against them, or even beat them, we have to provide the interior quality and bench depth that can match them. ”

'So, I decided to make some changes to the squad and then there will be a certain change in the role of each player. Chu Xuan smiled slightly, paused in his words, and looked at the player whose expression was slowly becoming serious.

Obviously, these guys are worried about their roles, after all, it's about their future development. You know, if they play well in the playoffs, then they will definitely enter the field of vision of many teams, and this is their chance to be famous.

Therefore, the role in the team is very important to them.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, Chu Xuan looked at Norris Noll and slowly spoke: "Norris, play the Kings, I will arrange you to the No. 4 position, and you will be the team's interior offensive core and assistant defense player." This is not an easy task, do you have a problem? ”

This season, Knoll played 53 games for the Lakers, averaging 30 minutes per game, contributing 15.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.1 blocks (the league's block leader), shooting 53.2% from the field and 66.8% from the free throw line.

Among them, in the four statistics of points, rebounds, shooting percentage and steals, Knoll ranks second among all rookies. As for the block, it is the first in the league. To put it simply, Knoll is the league's block leader this season.

It can be said that his performance is even better than Davis in his rookie year.

Moreover, you must know that Noll is only 20 years old, and it can only be said that the sky is his limit.

Obviously, in such a situation, Chu Xuan has no reason not to reuse Noll and make him the future core of the team.

Hearing that Chu Xuan asked him to take on the attack, Noel couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly returned to normal: "Chu, I don't have any problems, I am confident that with my current attack, I will definitely complete the task." ”

Chu Xuan nodded, after a season of focused training, Noor's offense has indeed improved by N grades compared to the university, and now he has a lot of offensive means.

"Then there's Kobe, who will be the core of the perimeter and who will also serve as the team's second playmaker. And in this round, I hope everyone can take the pressure off Kobe. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood Chu Xuan's thoughts.

Obviously, the first round didn't require much effort from Kobe.

"Then there's Steve, I need you to focus all your energy on the organisation, the team can't do without your revitalization. As for offense, you just need to grasp more of the set shots and open shots, and break less, after all, health is the most important thing. ”

Nash listened and nodded silently, indicating that he would.

This season, Nash is averaging 9.7 points and 6.2 assists per game and shooting 40.2% from three-point range, arguably still one of the best point guards in the league, even though he's 40 years old.

After connecting the three people, the atmosphere at the meeting was a little different.

Obviously, the ownership of the remaining internal and external quotas is undoubtedly touching.

Everyone's expressions fell in Chu Xuan's eyes, Gasol looked a little serious, Noel as the No. 4 position, did he let him play the No. 5 position? Clearly, Gasol was under infinite pressure.

As for the others, they all looked a little excited, as if they all wanted to play in the playoffs as starters.

Chu Xuan shook his head secretly in his heart, a little helpless, he felt that after the meeting, he needed to talk to some players in private and do ideological work.

"Hassan, congratulations on becoming the team's big centre. Your task is to take on the team's penalty area and then share the pressure on Norris in attack when necessary. In other words, you are also one of the team's points of attack. (To be continued.) )
