Chapter 134: He'll Regret It

"Hassan~"

A shout of joy rang out.

Then, the sound of the Lakers locker room door being slammed open.

Then, a group of players in purple and gold jerseys rushed in happily.

Whiteside was resting on a bench in the locker room when he reflexively jumped to the ground after hearing the shout.

When he saw the expressions of his teammates, he knew the outcome of the game in his heart.

"Won? Ha ha. ”

Whiteside's eyes widened and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Green stepped forward and gave Whiteside a hug and laughed, "yes, we won, we beat these guys in Miami, it's a great feeling." I feel like I've burst their chrysanthemums......"

"Uh, Draymond, your tastes are still so unique." Whiteside gave Green a smack on the chest, and the two erupted into a merry laugh.

Big brother Kobe Bryant walked over at this time, his eyes full of approval: "Hassan, you are tough today, I am proud of you, you are great!" ”

After receiving the affirmative praise from the mouth of the big man, Whiteside suddenly nodded excitedly, looking extremely happy.

"I don't like those guys, so I'm definitely going to do my best and beating them is the best result."

Kobe Bryant smiled coolly and said, "Keep it up!" You're going to get better. ”

Whiteside nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I will." ”

Turning around, Whiteside and his teammates hugged one by one, and when they arrived at Chu Xuan, Whiteside made a cheerful gesture: "Chu, we won, 2:0." ”

Chu Xuan sighed slightly in his heart, yes. 2:0, the only two games of the regular season, the double favorite Heat, this is not a feat that any team can accomplish.

"Hassan, while this is something to celebrate and be happy about, I would have preferred that you would say this to me in more than four months."

More than four months later? Finals?

Whiteside was slightly stunned. But he soon showed his self-confidence again.

"Chu, that's not a problem. You can ask Kobe, you can ask Steve, you can ask everybody, and they're sure to be the answer. ”

Whiteside turned his head and looked at his teammates who were celebrating excitedly with champagne: "Did you say yes?" ”

Kobe Bryant blinked and smiled, "Of course, it's not a problem. I hope to be able to ...... 2-0 Heat in just over four months"

Kobe's voice fell, and the shouts of a group of people were even more cheerful.

"No, no, no. Kobe Bryant, I think we can go 4-0 with these guys, and that's the best result. So, if you want to come, you have a good time, 4:0, it must be 4:0......"

Chu Xuan shook his head, extremely satisfied with this confident situation. Just, is that really easy? Rushing out of the thorny west. It's no less difficult than beating the Miami Heat in the Finals.

But since these guys are so confident. As a manager, he can't afford to lose his momentum.

And, trying to do it, it doesn't seem impossible. After all, in this league, especially in the playoffs. There is no shortage of miracle seeds.

Perhaps, these tenacious guys have unknowingly planted the seeds of miracles.

*******

"So far, you're the only team that has been able to win all of them against the Heat in the regular season. Does that mean that you already have what it takes to compete for the championship? ”

At the post-game press conference, a group of reporters began interviewing Kobe Bryant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Brother Greek is just an 18-year-old rookie and has little experience in dealing with the media, so although he was taken to the press conference by Chu Xuan this time, he was extremely familiar and remained silent.

Kobe Bryant had a charming smile on his face, and his smile revealed his mood at the moment, which was joy, and he really enjoyed the victory over the Miami Heat.

"To compete for a championship, you have to have at least five or six teams in the league that have that quality. However, to win a championship, it would take 16 wins in the playoffs and four different teams, which would be very tough. Sometimes, it's not just about the strength of the team, it's also about toughness, persistence and luck. At this stage, the Lakers have some of the conditions to compete for a championship, but there are many teams that also have these, so it doesn't mean that we necessarily have a big advantage, and it's hard to say that we can win the championship. For these brothers of mine, we still have a lot of work to do. ”

Bryant's answer was mostly to rub the edges, which is what star players often do, and they always have a way of dealing with media reporters.

However, for the media, it does not prevent them from reporting tomorrow. It is conceivable that tomorrow's headline will definitely be "The Lakers beat the Heat, and Kobe Bryant proudly won the championship again." ”

However, for Kobe, he obviously doesn't care about that, he focuses on winning.

The press conference went quickly, and after the reporters interviewed Kobe and Antetokounmpo, they began to interview head coach Chu Xuan.

"First of all, Chu, first question, can you evaluate Kobe and LeBron? In your heart, which of them is better? ”

After hearing this question, Chu Xuan, who was originally looking down to think about things, immediately raised his head to see which scheming was asking this question.

And Kobe Bryant also raised his head with interest at this time, his eyes were very weird, and he seemed to want to hear what Chu Xuan had to say.

Looking at the logo on the microphone, Chu Xuan realized that it was an ESPN reporter.

These talkers, Chu Xuan scolded secretly, but on the surface he was extremely calm: "They are all excellent, they have their own eras." If you have to say who is better, it would be unfair to them. ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Xuan picked his eyelids and directly signaled to a reporter who raised his hand: "Next question." ”

The ESPN reporter was quite embarrassed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but swallow back the second question that came to his lips, and then quickly sat back in his seat when he found that no one was looking at him.

"Chu, your coaching can only be described as a miracle. However, your vision of choosing people is also unpredictable, just like Giannis, can you tell us about him? What do you expect from him? ”

Chu Xuan smiled slightly: "Giannis's innate conditions are very rare, he has the height of a center forward and the athleticism of a defender, he will become an epoch-making player representative, under my coaching, he will soon become a star player." He's going to be one of Kobe's successors, there's no doubt about that, and I'm very confident in him. ”

Wow~

The discussion on the scene suddenly erupted, and such an evaluation was really unexpected.

When the microphone turned to Kobe, Kobe Bryant's face was calm, and he nodded with a smile: "He will become one of my successors, and in these days of getting along, I have recognized his excellence." The important thing is that he is only 18 years old and the sky is the limit for him. ”

The reporters were quite surprised to get positive answers from the head coach and the star of the house, and at the same time, they also felt regret for the Bucks who sent Antetokounmpo.

As for Antetokounmpo himself, he was also quite excited, and Chu Xuan and Kobe's answers were too sudden.

You must know that in today's Lakers, there are many players with great potential such as Noll, Whiteside, Green, Jackson, etc., and they all have a bright future. In particular, the trio of Noll, Green and Whiteside can become the cornerstone of the Lakers' future team. And Antetokounmpo has always believed that he will be a starter on the Lakers' future roster, but not a star player, because Noll is.

But now, Kobe and Chu Xuan actually said that he will become one of Kobe's successors and become the future star of the Lakers, how can he not be excited?

……

"Chu, I heard that you recruited LeBron James before the game, hoping that he can join the Lakers, what was the result?" A local Miami reporter asked with a smile.

Chu Xuan looked at this guy, a little curious where he heard the news.

"I recruited him, but he refused. However, I think it won't be long before he regrets his decision today. (To be continued.) )
