After the game, press conference.

The Lakers have become the most lively place, and reporters are scrambling to interview Chu Xuan.

Beside Chu Xuan, sitting were Jeremy Lin and Kobe. The two came to attend the press conference, which was specially done by Chu Xuan.

In this game, Jeremy Lin played 26 minutes in his Lakers debut, 5 of 9, contributed 14 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and contributed greatly to the team's victory. Therefore, Chu Xuan let him participate in the press conference.

"Chu, you have a big win, this is your biggest win so far this season, considering this is your first game of coaching, do you have anything to say about the comparison?"

31 points to defeat the championship favorite Thunder, Chu Xuan's proof of himself in this battle is great.

And of course he has a lot of feelings, but there are some things he can't say in front of these guys.

After thinking about it slightly, Chu Xuan changed his words: "As I expected before the game, this result also surprised me a little. It can only be said that the players played too well, so they won this victory. However, it was just a regular season win, and it added another win to our game. However, everything is in the past and we need to look forward. ”

Chu Xuan was very calm, with a maturity that did not match his age. Not arrogant or impatient, that's exactly what a manager should have.

"What do you think was the factor for your victory?"

Chu Xuan smiled: "Every player played well, every round of offense allowed everyone to participate, and then everyone was very selfless, these factors made this game." ”

"Chu, I originally thought that someone would score a high-scoring performance in this game, but in fact, your personal highest score was only 24 points. But you got 122 points in the game. Did you arrange this in advance? ”

Obviously, as the journalist said. Before this game, there must have been too many people who thought that Kobe Bryant would try to score a high score, and it was because of his personality. After all, he's up against two of the league's hottest rising stars.

However, in the end, the result was not like this. Bryant contributed just 24 points.

"It's not deliberately arranged, everything just falls into place. Everyone enjoyed playing together, and then everyone seemed selfless. Although Bryant only scored 24 points, he was still the best player on our team. He's a leader for the Lakers, and his role isn't just about scoring. Under his leadership, we had eight people score in double figures. In my opinion, this is the best way to win. ”

As Chu Xuan spoke, he also looked at Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was also very happy at this time, and at his age, his good spirit had decreased slightly. More of a game, he began to enjoy the thrill of winning.

"Kobe, are you happy with your performance?"

When the player said this, the reporter shifted the subject of the interview to the person concerned.

Kobe Bryant smiled slightly: "Chu is an excellent coach, we are walking in the right direction." I'm happy to win, and I'm happy with the performance. ”

In this game, Kobe Bryant was 8 of 15, contributed 24 points, 6 boards, 6 assists and 2 steals, with high efficiency and was the best player in the game.

Obviously, winning and winning data, Kobe Bryant naturally has nothing to be unhappy about.

I didn't hear anything else from Kobe's words, and the reporter began to ask Chu Xuan questions again.

Chu, Kevin and Russell had a total of 14 turnovers, and their performance was mediocre. Undoubtedly, your defense has worked very well. Can you talk about what you think of the two of them? ”

In this battle of focus, Durant contributed 28 points and 7 turnovers, and Westbrook 26 points and 7 turnovers. Moreover, neither man's shooting percentage was up to the season's average. In particular, 14 turnovers are absolutely fatal to the victory or defeat.

"Kevin and Russell are the best players in the league in their respective positions and it's hard for us to defend them. And this ball, they just feel a little bad. I believe that in the next match, they will play better than this one. ”

Answering this question, Chu Xuan's eyes flickered, full of praise for the two.

"The last question, does beating the Thunder mean that your team has what it takes to be the top player in the West?"

Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile and couldn't help shaking his head: "It's just an accident that they defeated Thunder, they are particularly talented, and they are still the favorites for the championship." We're still a lot behind, a win just points us in the right direction, we still have a lot to work on and we still need to be good. ”

*******

At the Thunder's press conference, Durant and Westbrook looked a little unhappy.

When asked how he felt about the game, Durant kept muttering, "Very ugly game." ”

Obviously, he was not happy with the team's performance in this game.

Westbrook, on the other hand, said he wanted to take revenge by beating the Lakers in the next meeting.

Under an interview, the impetuous mentality of young people was undoubtedly revealed. This makes people shake their heads and sigh, worried about the future of the Thunder this season.

As for Scott Brooks, in an interview, he gave high praise to the Lakers and Chu Xuan's debut coaching.

"In my opinion, Chu Xuan is a coach with a lot of ideas, his coaching ideas are very distinctive, and he has all the qualities to become the head coach of this league.

As for the Lakers team, I think it's seriously underrated. They have a very good interior configuration, and Kobe Bryant still maintains an All-Star level. Importantly, they have Norris, Draymond, Robert Thackeray, Hassan Whiteside and many other young and talented players. The Lakers will remain very competitive for years to come. ”

******

Because of the Lakers and Thunder game, the heat that was triggered outside still hasn't dropped.

However, Chu Xuan, as the head coach, has already come out of the excitement.

After calming down, he began to think about what to do next.

At the end of the press conference, Chu Xuan returned to the hotel where he stayed in a burst of laughter.

After calming down, he quickly dialed the general manager, Kupchak.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Kupchak answered the phone, and there was a lazy voice. On the phone, a female voice could be faintly heard.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile, and secretly said that this old guy won't stop at night.

'Mitch, I've got a player and he's probably a good fit for us.

Kupchak was slightly different, the news of the big victory had already made him very happy, could it be that Chu Xuan had found some good seedlings? You must know that several of Chu Xuan's suggestions this season have proven to be profitable deals.

"Who?"

"Reggie Jackson, Thunder's backup guard."

There was silence on Kupchak's side, and after a moment he asked with some confusion, "Didn't we just get Jeremy Lin?" Including Steve, we already have four point guards. ”
