"Reggie, welcome to the Lakers family."
After the deal was struck, Reggie Jackson was soon in Los Angeles with his agent. After meeting, Chu Xuan welcomed Jackson.
"Chu, I'm really excited to be able to play in Los Angeles. I can't wait to put on the Lakers jersey. ”
Jackson's eyebrows were excited.
Chu Xuan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Reggie, you're right that you can't wait." This will be the place where your dreams take off. ”
For Jackson, Chu Xuan understands his ambitions. But Chu Xuan didn't despise him because of this. Because for a player with quality and potential, you have no reason to question him.
Jackson was born in Pordenone, Italy, and although he is only 1.91 meters tall, he weighs 94 kilograms.
Jackson's weight makes up for his lack of height, which allows him to play in the No. 2 position. During the Thunder era, he was used as a two-way guard.
However, now that he has come to the Lakers, Chu Xuan is not ready to use him like this. In Chu Xuan's opinion, Jackson's strong body and explosive physical fitness are enough for him to occupy a great advantage in the No. 1 position.
"Reggie, you came to the Lakers, do you have any requirements for the position? Besides, I want to hear where you see you for the future of your career. ”
Chu Xuan asked with a smile.
Jackson thought for a moment and replied, "I can play multiple positions, and I even feel like I can play small forward in a small lineup when necessary." So, I'm willing to play in any position as long as the team needs it. As for career orientation, I want to be a star player and I think I have what it takes. ”
Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile, his eyes moved, and he said, "Reggie, I think it's necessary for me to give you a suggestion. ”
Seeing Jackson nodding, Chu Xuan continued: "Reggie, playing with me, I don't need you to be a player who can play two or three positions. I want you to be able to focus on the work of the number one. I'm ready to develop your organizational skills, and I hope you'll be able to take over the torch from Steve Nash. ”
"If I had to choose, I would like to get a 15+10 playmaker instead of a 20+5+5 all-round defender. Because, this is in line with your characteristics, and only when you develop in the number one position can you fully show your strengths and potential, which can make you more likely to become a star player. ”
"There are too many all-round fighters in the Alliance, and I feel like you're going to face unimaginable resistance if you move in that direction. So, Reggie, before you play for me, you have to make a choice. ”
While Chu Xuan was speaking, Jackson kept thinking, he likes to score, but he prefers to be a star. And what Chu Xuan said was something he recognized very much.
"Chu, I understand what you mean. Instead of playing in the second position with a disadvantage, it is better to play in the first position with an advantage. I am willing to make this change, and I will improve myself in the direction of the organizers. ”
Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, Reggie Jackson was willing to make changes, which was what he expected to see the most. And, importantly, if Reggie can grow into a playmaker, then he can develop Jeremy Lin into an offensive defender.
At that time, if Kobe Bryant is not there, he can use Reggie Jackson's backcourt combination with Reggie Jackson Garin at the same time.
"Reggie, I believe it won't be long before your choice will be proven right. I hope we have a good time working together for the next season. ”
Chu Xuan stretched out his hand and smiled.
"Chu, don't worry, I will definitely do everything well. Now I'm really excited, and coming to the Lakers was my childhood dream. Jackson shook hands with Chu Xuan, his expression still looking excited.
"Haha, Reggie, can you tell me why you like the Lakers so much?"
"Uh, Chu, don't you know I'm a Lakers fan? That's what you said the other day in Oklahoma. ”
Chu Xuan chuckled and shook his head: "Reggie, if I told you that it was just me casually, would you be disappointed?" ”
Reggie Jackson was stunned.
Chu Xuan smiled: "Actually, to be honest, I paid attention to you when you played at Boston College. At the time, I thought you'd be the second Russell Westbrook, but I didn't expect you to be drafted by the Thunder. ”
Jackson shook his head and smiled bitterly, why would he want to play in the Thunder? There's no room for him to express himself.
"I was only able to play off the bench at the Thunder, but I have to say that I did learn a lot from Russell and Kevin, who helped me grow. Otherwise, I probably don't have the confidence to become a star right now. ”
Chu Xuan nodded secretly, Reggie Jackson knows how to be grateful, which is indeed a very good trait. Because only those who know how to be grateful will consider loyalty.
"Reggie, that's all in the past, and the next time we meet, you're going to be a rival with them. When the time comes, I hope you will be able to soar to the sky and prove that you are excellent. ”
Jackson nodded with a straight face: "Chu, don't worry." I know what to do. Speaking of which, I'm really looking forward to playing Russell. ”
"Well, Reggie, it's enough that you have such thoughts. By the way, you haven't said why you like the Lakers? ”
Reggie Jackson smiled: "Because I like Kobe, he grew up in Italy, and in that country he was very famous, and every kid grew up watching him play." It's great to be able to be teammates with him now. ”
Listening to Jackson's words, Chu Xuan couldn't help but think that Jackson was also a post-90s generation, and he only came to the United States in high school. Obviously, having shared the same experience, it's no surprise that Jackson sees Kobe Bryant as an idol.
"Haha, Reggie, you will be able to contact each other often in the future, but this makes me suddenly a little worried about your transformation."
Chu Xuan's words made Reggie Jackson laugh out loud, and he suddenly felt that this coach was really interesting, and he actually hacked Kobe.
"Chu, don't worry, although I will ask him about offensive problems, I will definitely not learn the spirit of shooting like him."
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded.
At this moment, the voice of Chu Xuan's mobile phone suddenly rang.
When he pressed the answer button, Whiteside's loud voice rang out inside.
"Hey, Chu, it's really exciting to tell you good news."
Listening to Whiteside's excited voice, Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, this guy is always so unstable.
"What's the good news? Did you get Monica? ”
"Hey, hey, Chu, can we be serious, you're too impure...... If you go on like this, how many people in the team will be ruined by you? ”
Listening to the voice on the phone, Chu Xuan was speechless, he was not pure? These words still came out of Whiteside's mouth, how could it not sound like a taste?
"Alright, Hassan, hurry up and say something."
Whiteside laughed: "Chu, do you pay attention to the news?" I was on the cover of DIME magazine and it was so exciting......"
