The players who can participate in the All-Star Game are definitely the top players in their respective positions.

When they are in the ring, they often appear as opponents. And the only chance for them to become teammates is the All-Star Game, or international events such as the World Championships and the Olympics.

As a result, the number of times these All-Stars play together is very small, and the chemistry between them is naturally not particularly good.

In order to ensure the smoothness and excitement of the All-Star game, it is natural that the players practice together is a must.

However, the talent between star players is not to be said, they can play tacit understanding very quickly. At the very least, they won't have a problem playing a perfect exhibition game in a game without defense.

Therefore, in previous years, these players generally only practiced together 1~2 times before the game, and then they would be pulled to the court to play.

Chu Xuan, as the coach of the star team of the western team, his arrangement is very simple, that is, to practice together on the 15th, and then have a collective warm-up training camp at noon on the 16th, and then just wait for the start of the star game.

The reason why Chu Xuan is so relaxed is also because of his confidence in the strength of the Western Star Team, and he has a very good confidence that he will win with the Western Star Team.

The joint practice lasted for three hours, and the 6v6 between the star players in the West was the focus of attention, and the game was quite exciting.

Through this joint training, Chu Xuan's biggest gain was to have in-depth exchanges with 12 star players, which gave him a more essential understanding of these players. Such a harvest will definitely be of great benefit to his future work.

After the joint practice, the reporters interviewed the players.

As the focus of the All-Star Weekend, Chu Xuan naturally had to be interviewed by the media.

What the reporter wanted to ask was nothing more than what had been said many times in the past two days and the war of words with Phil Jackson some time ago, and Chu Xuan's answer was naturally unchanged from before.

When asked about tomorrow night's game, Chu Xuan said that he would try his best to give the fans a good game.

*********

After the All-Star training camp, Chu Xuan had dinner with Kobe, Paul and others, and then went back to the hotel to rest.

In the evening, Chu Xuan arrived at the New Orleans arena on time, waiting for the start of the second day of All-Star Weekend.

Sitting on the sidelines, Chu Xuan couldn't stop looking around, there were many familiar faces around, most of them were NBA players or staff.

When Chu Xuan's gaze swept somewhere, he couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

It turned out to be Zach LaVine and Zhang Yang and their respective beautiful girlfriends, they actually appeared in a relatively high position, it seems that these two guys are also local tyrants, and they can get such a high position in a special game like All-Star Weekend.

Chu Xuan beckoned to Zhang Yang, he felt the need to say hello to this compatriot of his.

To Chu Xuan's surprise, Zach Lavine and Zhang Yang walked over together.

"Chu."

Zhang Yang shouted.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, nodded and looked at Zhang Yang.

I haven't seen him for a long time, Zhang Yang's temperament has changed a lot, and he seems to be more confident.

Obviously, it's because he's been honed under Ben Holland, and this year's NCAA experience has definitely made him grow a lot.

It is worth mentioning that this season is Zhang Yang's first year playing for UCLA, as the team's backup forward, Zhang Yang's performance is remarkable, in the game against Syracuse University at the end of last month, Zhang Yang scored 18 points in 7 of 21 minutes, and once became the focus of the United States.

Although this is just a flash of star, but it has made Zhang Yang famous, and on the Chinese side, those who follow basketball know that there is a Chinese who plays in the NCAA Division I league, and also plays for the traditional elite UCLA.

In this way, Zhang Yang's personal situation is naturally well known.

Zhang Yang's physical fitness is average, but his arm span is very good, and his skeleton is very broad. In other words, he could have gotten stronger and thus able to withstand the test of higher intensity competitions.

In this case, Zhang Yang's fame in China is not small, with the approach of Crazy March, the June draft is not far away, and Chinese fans are also extremely looking forward to what kind of performance Zhang Yang can play. Then discussed whether Zhang Yang could be selected in the future draft.

According to the predictions of many draft websites, if Zhang Yang participates in the draft in 14, he has only a small chance of being selected in the second round, and it is very likely that he will not be selected.

Therefore, many experts have suggested that Zhang Yang stay in school for another year, and then participate in the 15-year draft, and then there will be a high probability of being selected.

However, what is surprising is that in an interview with the Los Angeles Times a few days ago, Zhang Yang said that he would participate in the 14-year draft, and he hoped to be drafted and then start his NBA dream road.

Of course, Chu Xuan heard about it, and now they met by chance, so he called Zhang Yang over to talk.

"Chu, this is Zach LaVine, he's the core of our team, I think you've definitely heard of him." Zhang Yang introduced Chu Xuan.

Standing in front of Chu Xuan was a white, tall and thin boy, he was none other than the 19-year-old Zach Lavin, a famous American dunker and the main scorer of UCLA.

LaVine has a very good draft prospect, although he is currently only in the middle and late stages of the first round in his prediction, but Chu Xuan understands that as the NCAA season progresses, LaVine's draft prospects will undoubtedly rise.

"Of course I know him." Chu Xuan looked at LaVine and said with a smile: "Zach, I know you are a fan of the Lakers, I have been following you, your dunking ability is really amazing." I feel like you can be a Vince Carter type of player. ”

When he heard Chu Xuan mention the Lakers, LaVine couldn't help but feel excited and hot in his heart, he felt that Chu Xuan was revealing some information: "Chu, it's nice to meet you, I'm your fan, your coaching can only be described as a dream." In my future NBA career, if I can have a coach like you, I will definitely be most happy to see it. ”

When LaVine said this, Chu Xuan naturally had a clear heart, and the dunk king really wanted to come to the Lakers to play.

However, it seems that it is not easy to get Raven!

Chu Xuan felt great pressure in his heart, and the Lakers did not have a first-round pick.

"Zach, if it were possible, I'd definitely like to see you in the purple and gold robes. That's going to be a great deal, and the Lakers need to keep injecting fresh blood. Chu Xuan said with a smile.

"Chu, I'm glad you can think so, I will wait for that day to come."

The communication between the two of them completely fell on Zhang Yang's ears, and the intention of Lang having a concubine suddenly made him a little envious.

You know, he also wants to play in the NBA, but with his current performance in the NCAA, it will obviously be difficult to achieve his dream.

"Chu, I'm also a Lakers fan, don't you think about me?" When he said such a thing, the thickness of Zhang Yang's face instantly soared to the extreme.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile: "Zhang Yang, I lack a water cooler keeper here, do you want to come?" (To be continued.) )
