Chapter 2: Huntington
The Lakers have a new scout, which isn't news, and even within the Lakers, it hasn't attracted much attention.
Huntington, on the Ohio River.
Chu Xuan wore a pair of sunglasses, a loose sports T-shirt, and a pair of sunhats on his head. On this hat and T-shirt, the Lakers logo is emblazoned, showing his identity as a Lakers fan.
As a Chinese, appearing in the small town of Huntington, he did attract some attention.
"Hey, beauty, how do you get to Marshall University?"
Chu Xuan called out to a young blonde woman and asked about the location of the destination of this trip.
This woman is average-looking, but she is very tall and wears high heels, and she is about to catch up with Chu Xuan. You must know that Chu Xuan has a standard six-foot height. Even in the United States, it's not too short.
"Keep going until you reach the end."
The woman didn't refuse, she just looked at Chu Xuan, but her eyes were a little misunderstood.
In the United States, it is normal for men and women to talk to each other, but it is inevitable that some women will mistakenly think that the other party means something else. Especially in this era of very developed communication, it is really difficult for people to think in the right direction by still using the bloody way of asking for directions.
"Oh, thank you."
Chu Xuan smiled and answered, and hurriedly walked away, leaving the woman who stood in place with a puzzled face.
In fact, he could feel the other party's thoughts, but for this kind of thing, Chu Xuan's principle was not to explain. After all, sometimes the best explanation is not explained.
Walking on the road, Chu Xuan took out his mobile phone and pressed the power button a few more times, but it still did not respond.
"Shet~"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but scold.
Coming to Huntington from Los Angeles, Chu Xuan has spanned the entire United States.
During this time, he tried the transportation in the United States, and under the dizziness and vomiting of jet lag, he finally rushed to Huntington, but he didn't expect the phone to run out of battery. As a last resort, I had to ask for directions.
Chu Xuan was very depressed now, this was his first trip since he was a scout, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
However, thinking about the purpose of his trip, Chu Xuan's mood was quite good, and the whole person was still full of excitement.
He was looking for a reinforcement for the Lakers, and that choice was the result of his deliberations.
After all, this scout is also a job, and what needs to be looked at is performance. Therefore, Chu Xuan's plan was that the first shot of this scouting career must be fired.
For his choice, Chu Xuan is still very confident.
As for the reason, I have to start from a month ago.
Chu Xuan, who was far away in China, was playing an NBA game at the time, but he was accidentally electrocuted and lost consciousness. And after waking up, he inexplicably appeared in the United States across the Pacific Ocean.
Time is still back in the summer of 2013, and I became a student of the world-famous UCLA Business School.
This Chu Xuan has a height of 1.83 meters, a long and handsome man, and is a big celebrity in UCLA, and he is quite popular. Despite his academic achievements, Chu Xuan is also a temporary assistant coach for the UCLA basketball team. He has a deep understanding of basketball and is amazingly talented, from a caddy to a physical trainer to an assistant coach, Chu Xuan only took three years.
Ben Holland, the head coach of the UCLA basketball team, appreciated him very much and hoped that he could stay at UCLA after graduation to become an official assistant coach, but Chu Xuan refused.
After a month-long period of deliberation, Chu Xuan finally decided to use his memories to break into the NBA, after all, he was a basketball fanatic in two lifetimes.
In fact, Chu Xuan's choice is quite incomprehensible.
As a top student of UCLA Business School, even if he does not have the ability of the original Chu Xuan, he can still find a lot of good jobs when he returns to China with just a certificate. But in the end, he didn't choose to do that, because in his opinion, it was too boring and boring, and it was not his pursuit.
Moreover, Chu Xuan came from the future, and he could use his memory to achieve a great cause. But after thinking about it carefully, he only vaguely remembered some major events, which were of no use at all. In the end, Chu Xuan's inflated heart suffered a merciless blow and had to give up this unrealistic idea.
But Chu Xuan, as a basketball fanatic of the two lives, has a deep understanding of the NBA. He knows exactly which player has the potential and which player can become a superstar. He could use those memories to make a name for himself in the NBA.
Although Chu Xuan's physical condition is good, he is still a long way from a professional player. As a result, he could not have become an NBA player.
In fact, Chu Xuan is more suitable as the general manager of a team, but without any background, he obviously has no possibility.
In the end, Chu Xuan's choice was to become a head coach. In his opinion, it's also wonderful to be a manager, to coach the players he likes, to compete with other coaches and compete for the O'Brien Cup. It's a psychological pleasure no less than being an NBA player.
After careful consideration and decision, Chu Xuan chose his favorite Los Angeles Lakers, and he is a Purple Gold fan.
The Lakers, as one of the biggest teams in the NBA, have hardly sunk in the entire history of the NBA. But in the last few years of Kobe Bryant's career, the Lakers' several consecutive mistakes, coupled with the team's non-stop injuries, eventually the Lakers lost their competitiveness and struggled out of the playoffs for many years and have not been able to turn around.
As a Zijin fan, Chu Xuan naturally didn't want to see it.
Now that he has returned to 2013, which can be called a turning point in the Lakers' glorious history, Chu Xuan naturally has a very strong idea to change these.
He's going to help this Lakers team and keep it coming true. And if he wants to achieve this dream, Chu Xuan's only choice at this stage is to work hard to become the head coach of the Lakers.
Of course, if he can become the head coach of the Lakers, with the exposure of the big city of Los Angeles and the popularity of Staples, Chu Xuan will definitely gain a lot of fame and become a global celebrity. And as long as the Lakers can continue their glory in his hands, then money, fame and fortune must be indispensable.
Obviously, instead of returning to China with a graduation certificate, it is a better choice to struggle in the NBA.
With the help of his friend Alex, Chu Xuan has now become a scout for the Lakers as he wished, taking the first step in his dream of coaching.
Considering the future development of the Lakers, Chu Xuan, who has a memory, naturally knows what the Lakers need to strengthen the most.
According to the trajectory of the previous life, the Lakers were completely reduced to a fish belly team after suffering a massive injury, and finally completely ruined.
But Chu Xuan didn't want to see such a situation again, and after careful consideration, he designed a path. Following this path, the Lakers could return to glory, but this path is risky.
And isn't life like gambling, the Lakers in the previous life gambled less?
This risk is still worth it in Chu Xuan's opinion, and after success, the Lakers will become a different Lakers team and a very competitive team.
