Chapter 219: Let's take a gamble
(PS: I can't go back tonight, I don't have a computer around, and I can't code words.) I coded a chapter with my mobile phone, and then my phone was about to run out of battery, and the second chapter was gone, so don't wait. Add 1 more, a total of 10 more, will be repaid as soon as possible. )
"We need a strong interior lineman, so Norris you're going to come off the bench today, but I hope you don't get cranky, it's just for the needs of the team. You know, the opponent is very strong, and we have to be a little bit cautious when we don't know how far we can fight the other side. ”
The players were all practicing on the field, Chu Xuan called Noel over, thought about it, and spoke.
Knoll was slightly stunned, but he immediately regained his composure: "Head, I understand. I would accept any role. ”
Noel is a little depressed and helpless, this year, he has been training hard in the gym, and his body is indeed much stronger. But compared to the rest of the league, he does get a little thin. It's okay to play in the number four position, which allows him to avoid some high-intensity physical confrontations. However, playing the No. 5 position, Noel is really a little thin.
Especially in today's game, the center of the Thunder is Perkins, who is as strong as a cow, this guy is a bad guy who only knows how to use his body.
Considering the physical gap between the two, Chu Xuan was worried that Noll would not be able to grab the rebound by Perkins.
After passing the first round, Chu Xuan began to think about Noor's problem. Knoll is too skinny to grab rebounds through matchups. Therefore, Chu Xuan plans to give full play to Noor's offensive ability as much as possible, so that Noel can also improve further.
'Hassan is better at playing in the paint, he's able to hold up against opponents, and you're different, that's not your forte. When you play against a strong team, we have to play smart. ”
Chu Xuan patted Noel and said with a smile, he believed that Noel could fully understand.
Knoll nodded with a relaxed expression and said with a smile: "Head, I know you are thinking about me." From the beginning of coming into the Lakers, you helped me do so much and I have complete trust in you. ”
Chu Xuan stared at Noll and smiled with satisfaction.
*************
"Russell, man, we're alumni anyway, don't be so hostile and hateful all the time. You have to learn from Kevin Love, he's always so friendly. ”
Under the spotlight, on the sidelines, Chu Xuan was standing with Westbrook.
Westbrook looked at Chu Xuan, his expression softened slightly, but there was no change, let alone friendliness.
However, this scene fell in Chu Xuan's eyes, but he couldn't help but be happy, and there was a drama in the secret.
Chu Xuan has always wanted to be friends with Westbrook, but unfortunately he has not been able to do so. Westbrook didn't seem to like Chu Xuan.
But if there is more contact with people, there will be some changes, and the changes in Westbrook obviously show that he and Chu Xuan have development opportunities.
"Russell, can you make a bet?" Seeing that Westbrook didn't speak, Chu Xuan's eyes moved, and he unconsciously had an idea in his heart.
"Not interested."
Westbrook replied simply and simply.
After hearing this, Chu Xuan's heart instantly saw 100,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, and he had the urge to go up and slap this guy twice.
But, apparently, he can't do that.
"I know you like to bet with people. But you don't dare to bet with me now, are you afraid of losing? Chu Xuan's face did not change, "I can understand, so I won't be reluctant." But speaking of it in hindsight, I think I'll definitely be honest about what I think of Russell Westbrook. ”
As soon as Chu Xuan was so stimulated, the situation instantly changed.
"Bet, how to bet, I haven't been afraid of anyone." Westbrook's nostrils were facing the sky, and he looked proud.
Chu Xuan grinned, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "Just bet that you won't get twenty points." ”
Westbrook couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he heard a big joke, he couldn't get 20 points?
"What about the bet? Lost and took off your pants and ran naked? Westbrook scoffed.
Chu Xuan didn't care, shook his head and said, "I don't have your weird hobby. If you win, I'd treat you to spend the day in Los Angeles. And if I win, that's all you have to do. ”
"Oh? All right. So be it. I'm not going to save you money, though, so get your card ready. Westbrook confidently left a sentence and floated away.
********
Staples Center, full of players.
On the big screen, the starting lineups of both sides appeared.
Thunder: Westbrook, Wesley, Durant, Ibaka, Perkins.
Lakers: Reggie, Kobe, Antetokounmpo, Green, Whiteside.
"Wow, the Lakers have changed their lineup, with Brother Alphabet and Draymond Green starting. Noll was actually brought to the bench, and Steve Nash even came off the bench. ”
"Chu Xuan is really bold enough, in the last round of the series, how well Steve Nash played, he obviously contributed a lot. Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan dared to really do that, it was crazy. ”
"How does he want to fight? Green playing the No. 4 position? His height is not a small disadvantage. But Brother Alphabet's confrontation with Kevin Durant is not a small focus. ”
……
Chu Xuan's lineup caused a lot of shock, and the four rookie rookies and Kobe Bryant started, which was definitely a crazy and bold move.
However, what is certain is that Chu Xuan did this, which undoubtedly greatly increased the strength of the Lakers' bench lineup.
Nash, Gasol, Jeremy Lin, Knoll, Thackeray, Novak, Ibanks, Pachulia.
Such a substitute is definitely the strongest substitute in the league.
"This guy is trying to beat us with a sub?" Coach Brooks squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Xuan unconsciously.
However, for Brooks, he doesn't believe that the Lakers can rely on the bench advantage to beat them, because if the starter has an absolute advantage, it is absolutely irreparable.
Chu Xuan was also looking at Brooks, but he seemed very calm.
"The game started and both sides jumped the ball. Hassan Whiteside defeated Sergi Ibaka and the Lakers got possession. ”
Reggie Jackson advanced with the ball and looked incredibly calm against Westbrook.
As former teammates, the two are very familiar with each other. Therefore, no one dares to act rashly in this fight.
As for Reggie, he has always held himself in high esteem and has been comparing himself to Westbrook. He wants to be a star.
And Westbrook is the best defender in the league today, and Reggie wants to establish his status and value, so he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
Therefore, against Westbrook, although the game has just begun, Reggie is already full of fighting spirit.
With Green's pick-and-roll, Reggie broke through the basket and faced Ibaka's defense and made a layup.
"Reggie, two points scored, the Lakers scored first." (To be continued.) )
