Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

As a contracted star of Peak and a teammate with Yao Ming, Battier is very well-known in China.

He's the kind of player who doesn't have the stats to be very impressive, and he hasn't won any accolades, just like everyone thinks he's very good defensively, but he hasn't won the Defensive Player of the Year.

Battier is the kind of player who can't be put into words, and it turns out that keeping him on the pitch at crucial moments was absolutely right.

The most obvious and talked about example is the finals in the last two years. He made many key performances to turn the tide, and eventually became one of the biggest contributors to the Heat's two consecutive championships.

Arguably, the Heat's choice to sign Battier after losing the Finals in '11 was the wisest move. And Riley's choice ended up winning two championships for the Heat. And, this year, they're on their way to a triple crown.

Chu Xuan's biggest impression of Battier was the seventh game of the Heat against the Spurs in the finals last year, Battier made 6 of 8 three-pointers and scored 18 points, and at the last thrilling moment, Battier completed his defense of Duncan, and finally decided the direction and belonging of the championship.

After playing well in the Finals for two consecutive years, Battier has become a fairly prestigious and trustworthy player on the Heat team. It was also since then that "President" Battier became the leader of the Heat's locker room. And firmly occupy the starting position of the Heat.

As the head coach of the Lakers, Chu Xuan certainly considered what kind of threat Battier would pose to the Lakers' offense when he was on the floor, and also formulated a corresponding response strategy.

Although Battier is averaging only 5.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game this season, no one will say that he is not worthy of the bench, let alone ignore his existence.

Especially in this Christmas game, Battier can't play, which is also a lot of pressure on the Lakers.

At the very least, Bryant was able to play more efficiently on the offensive end. And if either of Wade and James defends Kobe, it will also be a containment for the Heat.

According to Chu Xuan's expectations, James will definitely not defend Kobe, he does not have this habit, and more importantly, the Heat needs him to attack and organize.

And the most likely to play against Kobe Bryant is Wade. As for the absence of Battier in addition to Wade, the Heat will have a hard time finding a second option that can limit Kobe.

So that's definitely a very good situation for the Lakers.

……

Although Battier and Kobe Bryant have been competing on the court for many years, the relationship between the two is still good in private. Therefore, in this pre-game preparation, it is reasonable for two people to joke with each other.

Kobe Bryant said he would win the Christmas game, and as a member of the Heat, Battier would certainly hold a counter-argument.

For this reason, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but laugh at him, laughing and saying that he would be put on the battlefield.

……

A joking conversation made the game seem to be shrouded in a harmonious atmosphere.

However, Chu Xuan felt that under this peaceful appearance, there were actually turbulent waves.

Because this is not only the Christmas war, but also the confrontation between 23 and 24 that has lasted for many years, there are too many factors involved and related to it.

Coming to the training venue with Kobe, Chu Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the situation in the venue.

On the edge of the Lakers' training ground, a group of familiar Eastern faces appeared, and it was the live broadcast team from China. The members inside are also quite familiar, with Wei Ping's guide, Su Qun's teacher, and some assistants.

A vast group of people, with yellow skin, black eyes and black hair, appeared in the Lakers training gym, which was quite conspicuous.

"Chu Xuan, hello."

After seeing Chu Xuan appear, Wei Ping opened his mouth and shouted.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, his face was strange: "Director Zhang, you don't need to speak English, you should know that I am a Chinese-made product." ”

Director Wei Ping smiled awkwardly, and stopped speaking in awkward English. In fact, Chu Xuan's information has long been familiar to countless people in China. And Director Wei Ping of course knew that Chu Xuan's previous identity was an international student at UCLA.

"Chu Xuan, you are now a household name in our country, and in just a few months, you have become the head coach of the Lakers, which is definitely a remarkable achievement." Director Wei Ping gave a thumbs up, and his expression was full of excitement and pride.

You must know that if Chinese coaches want to go abroad, it is much more difficult than Chinese players to go abroad. And Chu Xuan has now become the head coach, which has long formed a sensational effect in China.

Moreover, many sports channels in China are increasing the number of live broadcasts of the Lakers. It can be said that today's Lakers are creating the sensation of the Rockets back then.

And, you know, the Lakers were originally one of the hottest teams in China. And now with Chu Xuan's relationship, it can be said that the Lakers will definitely be able to achieve a monopoly in the Chinese fan market in the next few years.

"Director Zhang, so I am winning glory for the country." Chu Xuan smiled slightly and quipped.

Director Wei Ping nodded: "Yes, you are now copying Da Yao's influence. By the way, can you talk about today's game? The Miami Heat are not an easy team to handle. ”

"Well, the Heat are really strong, they're the best team in the league. And this is a goal that we both value. I believe that the players will give their all and give a wonderful game to all the fans. In this game, we need to start from the defense, after all, the opponent is a team with a lot of attacking ability. ”

Director Wei Ping nodded, full of approval. And the Heat fighting offense? That's definitely going to be a hard time winning. Therefore, defense is absolutely the most important.

"What do you think the Lakers' chances of winning this game are?" Director Wei Ping asked.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, and said without hesitation: "100%, this is the best New Year's gift, these guys all need this victory." ”

As he spoke, Chu Xuanhuan pointed to the Lakers players who were training around him.

"Haha, that's a great gift. However, I just interviewed LeBron, and he said he would end your winning streak. ”

Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile, full of confidence: "Then it depends on their performance, in today's Staples, it is not so easy to take away a victory." ”

"That's right, Chu Xuan, who do you think Chinese players can appear in the NBA?"

Finally, Director Wei Ping asked the question that everyone was most concerned about. That's the embarrassing situation of not having any Chinese players playing in the NBA.

Chu Xuan was slightly stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem. Who can play in the NBA? At present, there seems to be only Yi Jianlian in China.

"I think Yi Jianlian still has the strength to play in the NBA. Of course, the key is whether he has any plans to return to the NBA at the moment. If he wants to, I think there will be a lot of teams willing to offer him a contract. ”

"What about the young man? For example, Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi and others? How likely do you think they are to be selected in the NBA Draft? ”

Chu Xuan thought for a while and said, "Wang Zhelin's words, I suggest that he participate in the draft this year." As for Zhou Qi, there is no need for him to rush into the NBA. I hope he can gain more weight, and then if he can, he'll be able to play in the NCAA. ”
