"Chu, you came back so early?"

When Chu Xuan asked him for a performance report of a rookie player in the summer league, Phil Webb felt quite surprised, he originally thought that Chu Xuan would not come back until the preseason began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Well, the plan was ahead of schedule, so I came back a month early."

Chu Xuan responded lightly, now his mind is full of problems about the team's run-in in the new season, and the newly formed Cavaliers team has put too much pressure on him.

And, judging from the current situation, the league teams will be stronger next season, and it will definitely be very difficult for any team to win the championship.

However, Chu Xuan still wants to defend his title, so he must work hard in many aspects.

"The report has been made a long time ago, and I will send it to you in the evening." This summer, Phil Webber played Summer League with the Lakers, and he did a very good job.

Moreover, Chu Xuan has also heard that Zach LaVine played at a high level under his guidance, beating Wiggins and Parker to be elected the best player in the summer league.

"yes, okay." Chu Xuan responded, and then spoke: "In two days, you accompany me to find Steve Nash, I hope he can join the Lakers' coaching staff and be responsible for developing players." ”

Phil Webber was slightly surprised, but he didn't mean anything to object.

Today's Lakers team has too many young players, and if there is a legendary playmaker like Nash to guide the players, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the cultivation of these young players.

"Haha, it would be great if Steve could join."

Webb had a happy smile on his face, and he wasn't worried that someone would come and take his position as the first assistant coach.

Because, Chu Xuan had already promised him that as long as Chu Xuan was the head coach, he would be made an assistant coach.

So, for Phil Webb, he was not worried about unemployment at all.

"By the way, Chu, have you decided on the team's starters for the new season?"

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, after a summer of consideration, he did already have an idea: "It's confirmed." I happen to have some tactical things to discuss with you, so let's find a place to eat and talk while we eat. ”

**********

In the evening, Chu Xuan received a player report from Phil Webb.

After some research, he quickly got an idea of what the current Lakers players are like this summer.

Kobe accompanied his wife Vanessa on a tour around the world and enjoyed the joy of the sixth crown.

Gasol, on the other hand, returned to Spain and took the national team as the host to play the men's World Basketball Championships.

Noll and Davis went to Chris Webber to learn offensive skills and still haven't returned from Detroit.

Then Giannis Antetokounmpo was also playing for Greece, playing at the World Championships in Spain in '14.

Among the other players, the veteran players mostly have problems, while the six rookies who didn't have a game to play all chose to play in this year's Summer League.

They are Zach LaVine, Zhelin Wang, Yang Zhang, Keith Eplin, James McAdoo and Elfrid Payton.

In the Summer League, LaVine's performance was the most eye-catching.

His athleticism gives him an absolute advantage in the matchup, and his shooting is so good that it comes as a surprise to anyone who follows the rookie performance.

Throughout the summer league, LaVine averaged 28.6 points per game while shooting 48.7 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from three-point range. This kind of performance makes people look forward to his performance in his rookie season. And because of this performance, LaVine was also successfully elected as the best player in the summer league.

After reading Laven's scouting report, Chu Xuan's positioning of him was also extremely clear in his heart.

"The weight is light, the confrontation is poor, and you need to add 10~20 pounds of muscle. In terms of technique, you need to learn from Kobedo. Chu Xuan wrote a sentence after Laven's name.

In addition to LaVine, Payton averaged 7.6 assists per game and was the assist leader in the summer league, but he was very poor at shooting and completely incapable of offense. As a result, many experts have turned his development template into Rajan Rondo.

The performance of the two players with Chinese nationality, Zhang Yang and Wang Zhelin, is certainly high-profile.

In the summer league, although Wang Zhelin was not weak in the confrontation, he still looked very shy when he played in a foreign league for the first time, and his offensive desire was strengthened, and his performance could only be said to be average. In terms of data, as a starting interior player, he only had 6.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.4 blocks. There is no doubt that his disadvantage in terms of athleticism and reach constrained his defense. There are so many things he needs to improve.

For this reason, in an interview, Wang Zhelin said: "I am very happy to be able to play in the United States. I've seen a higher level of basketball and I feel like I've improved a bit. I'm looking forward to my future career and I'm sure I'll be able to make a lot of progress in basketball in this environment. ”

Wang Zhelin's statement, Chu Xuan agreed.

Playing in the NBA, a high-level league, is a good thing for both Wang Zhelin and the Chinese men's basketball team. At least, Wang Zhelin's progress can lead to the improvement of the men's basketball team.

Obviously, as long as more and more Chinese can play in the NBA, the Chinese men's basketball team will sooner or later become a world-class first-class team.

Wang Zhelin's performance is obviously a little unworthy of his first-round 30th pick in the draft.

On the contrary, Zhang Yang's performance has attracted a lot of attention, and his offensive skills inside and out have made him one of the best scorers for the Lakers in summer league besides LaVine.

Zhang Yang's physical height is six feet nine inches, which is 206cm.

As a player in the UCLA men's basketball team, Ben Holland positions him as an offensive power forward, sometimes making him a cameo as a small forward and center. This positioning is also due to the flamboyant technical characteristics, he belongs to the kind of projection player, and the style is almost the same as his favorite Nowitzki.

However, compared to Nowitzki, Zhang Yang can only be regarded as a weakened version of a weakened version of a German tank. And in terms of height, he is also a few centimeters lower than Nowitzki.

However, Zhang Yang has his strengths, which are good speed/bounce and agility, as well as defending with the ball on the wing, which is why he can play as a small forward.

Speaking of which, the height of 206 is not enough to play the No. 4 position in the NBA. However, Zhang Yang's offensive level and speed with the ball are not enough for him to play the real No. 3 position.

In fact, to put it simply, the style of play he developed from high school to college is that the No. 3, 4, and 5 positions take all.

It can be said that Zhang Yang is the kind of player who can do everything, but is not proficient in anything.

In the summer league, Phil Webber let this appear more on the outside, and he did play quite eye-catching with his height and shooting skills, and after a few games, Zhang Yang contributed an average of 14.8 points per game, shooting 45.9% from the field and 34.8% from three-point range.

In the scouting report, Phil Webber expressed his interest in Zhang Yang, and his suggestion was to let Zhang Yang transform into the outside in the new season, first as a fixed-point shooter, and if the offensive skills with the ball are exercised, he can play a swing man. (To be continued.) )
