(The end of the third watch, ask for a collection and ask for a recommendation ticket!) ）

On the night of the 13th, the Ford Center was full of seats and a heat wave was in full swing.

The enthusiastic arena was lit up by magnesium lights.

The players are warming up, and Chu Xuan, who is coaching the game for the first time as an interim head coach, is being interviewed by the Thunder's home reporter.

"Chu, was Jeremy Lin's start originally planned by you?"

This is the first question after the reporter found Chu Xuan, and it is also the focus of discussion among people around the world who are paying attention to this ball.

It turned out that in the starting list submitted by the Lakers before the game, Jeremy Lin's name was written on the No. 1 position. As soon as the news spread, the outside world was in an uproar.

No. 11 was confirmed to join the Lakers, and No. 13 was the starter in the game? It feels incredible and incomprehensible.

After all, Jeremy Lin is not a first-line defender yet, but the kind of treatment he is receiving now is completely something that only a first-line defender can have.

Rush to the rescue? No one felt that Jeremy Lin had that ability.

However, Chu Xuan's thinking must be different from others, otherwise, he would not let Jeremy Lin, who only participated in one joint practice, start.

"Putting Lin in the starting position is a tactical need for the team and his playing characteristics make me willing to try to use him." Chu Xuan's face was indifferent, listening to the tsunami of the mountains all over the world, and said casually.

"So what would you do with him in today's game? You know, he's going to play against Russell, and he's going to face a savage style of bombardment. ”

Chu Xuan didn't care, and chuckled: "There is no fixed role, Lin will appear in any position that the team needs, and he will play a role in many ways." Also, I'm looking forward to him playing against Russell Westbrook. I hope to be able to see Lin Crazy again. ”

"Oh? Chu, when you say that, I'm looking forward to it. I believe that Russell and Lin will put on a wonderful showdown for everyone. ”

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, his expression indifferent. Putting Jeremy Lin and Westbrook right up is also a great opportunity for Jeremy Lin to prove himself.

"Chu, can you talk about our youngest Mr. 32,000 points?"

The so-called Mr. 32,000 points refers to Kobe. In the last game against the Suns, Kobe Bryant scored more than 32,000 points in his career with a three-pointer in the fourth quarter, thus becoming the fourth player in NBA history to score more than 32,000 points, and also defeated Malone to become the youngest Mr. 32,000 points.

"Kobe Bryant has been in great form lately and that's something we're incredibly happy about. He's in great physical condition and that's great for the team and for him personally. Becoming Mr. 32,000 means that Kobe Bryant has taken a major step in his career. I have a lot of faith in him, I think he's the best scorer of all time and he can still make the team better. ”

"As a coach, do you have any hope for him?"

Chu Xuan smiled slightly and said in a joking tone: "I hope he can surpass Michael Jordan in scoring in the Christmas game." ”

"Haha, Chu, that's obviously a bit unrealistic. I don't think that's what you're really thinking. ”

Now Kobe Bryant's career score is 32,008 points, while Michael Jordan's career total is 32,292 points, and Kobe Bryant is still 284 points away from Jordan. And between today and Christmas, the Lakers will play a total of eight games. In other words, if Kobe Bryant wants to surpass Jordan on Christmas, he needs to score at least 285 points in these eight games, which is an average of 35.625 points per game. Considering Bryant's 23 individual points per game this season, this is clearly impossible.

"Hehe, okay. Actually, my real hope is that Kobe Bryant can play for a few more years. ”

Chu Xuan felt in his heart that Kobe Bryant's becoming Mr. 32,000 points also caused him to think for a while.

In his previous life, Kobe Bryant regretted that he could only stop outside the gate of 34,000 points, which made Chu Xuan extremely regretful.

You know, judging from the current state of the NBA, Kobe Bryant is the player who is expected to surpass Abdul-Jabbar as soon as possible to become the league's all-time scoring champion.

However, if you are optimistic, if Kobe wants to surpass Abdul-Jabbar, he will need to go to the 16~17 season at the earliest, when Kobe is close to 39 years old. Considering that Kobe Bryant has been in the league since he was 18 years old and has suffered an Achilles tendon injury, it is still unknown whether his body can support him until that time.

And if Kobe Bryant can't overtake Abdul-Jabbar, then after him, James and Durant are the most promising players to achieve that great goal.

However, both of them are too young, and their future careers must be full of uncertainties. Therefore, the odds of two people surpassing Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time scoring champion are not necessarily greater than Kobe.

In addition, the rookies who enter the league today are generally one or two years older than Kobe, James, and Durant at that time, so unless there is a scorer who can rival Jordan and maintain a 20-year career in the future, it is completely unrealistic to surpass Abdul-Jabbar.

Therefore, if Kobe Bryant is not able to achieve this milestone, then optimistically, in 10~15 years, there may be someone among James and Durant who will be able to achieve this milestone. But if it's realistic, Abdul-Jabbar's record is likely to be a record that can't be broken for decades.

In other words, it is possible that Chu Xuan will not be able to see someone surpass Abdul-Jabbar's score in his life.

How could Chu Xuan, who had regained his life, be willing to be willing? He wanted to experience the excitement that he couldn't experience in his previous life, and to see things that didn't appear in his previous life.

Therefore, what he hopes most at this stage is that Kobe Bryant can stay healthy until the end of his career.

As the coach of the Lakers, what Chu Xuan can do is to help Kobe Bryant as much as possible, keep him healthy, maintain his condition, and prolong his career.

*********

When Chu Xuan was interviewed by reporters, a set of data appeared on the big screen above Ford Center Court, which was the result of the first round of All-Star voting announced yesterday.

In the first round of voting, James was elected the top vote, with 1.2 million votes in the first round. And Durant was elected the king of the Western Conference with 880,000 votes. In addition, Kobe Bryant got 710,000 votes, ranking first among Western defenders. And after him, there are Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Stephen Curry.

Obviously, judging from the first round of voting alone, three players from both sides of this game are likely to become All-Star starters, namely Durant, Kobe, and Westbrook.

In addition to the three, Ibaka, rookie Noll and Pau Gasol are also expected to be selected as All-Stars.

Therefore, it can be said that the star of this game is extremely brilliant. And even if there is no matter of Chu Xuan attracting attention as an interim head coach, this game is still the focus of attention in the United States.
