For the Lakers, the biggest bad news after the first round is that Whiteside, who is an All-Star center, is confirmed to be out for the season and will not be able to play in the following playoffs. In other words www.biquge.info the Lakers' interior line has begun to become relatively weak, which has also had a big impact on the Lakers' championship prospects this season.

In the past, Whiteside's truce would not have been a cause for concern. Because after Whiteside's truce, the Lakers still have 2 excellent interior players to use, namely Gasol and Towns. However, at this time, Gasol has been in the process of recovering from his injury, and according to the news from the team doctor Garibedi, Gasol will not be able to return until 1 week at the earliest. That said, there is a good chance that Gasol will continue to miss a round of the playoffs.

Whiteside and Gasol can't play, and the Lakers' interior line is left with Towns, Thackeray, Yi Jianlian, and McAdoo. From the perspective of individual technical characteristics, Thackeray and Downs are both No. 5 players, so it is natural that Downs can only start in place of Whiteside, and Thackeray is to get rotation time as a substitute center. And as a result, the Lakers' interior depth is stretched. After all, No. 4 Nour also needs someone to replace him, and the candidate to replace Nour is naturally Yi Jianlian. And James McAdoo is the forward swingman, and if he is used as an interior lineman, he can at best make the second option for the bench.

Yi Jianlian and Thackeray are not very high-quality players, and on the stage of strong dialogue like the playoffs, the two of them seem to be unable to contribute much to the Lakers, and their performance is difficult to stabilize. Therefore, in order to ensure the depth of the bench, the Lakers recalled Marjanovic from the Development League.

Marjanovic became a member of the Lakers last summer, but he played only one game with the Lakers this regular season and spent most of his time in the Development League. In one season in the Development League, Marjanovic averaged 14.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 4.3 blocks in 25 minutes per game. His height and technique make him very competitive on the inside.

Marjanovic definitely has the quality to play in the NBA, but he doesn't have much of a chance with the Lakers. During the regular season, many teams wanted to get Marjanovic from the Lakers, but Kupchak didn't release him. Speaking of which, Marjanovic has a good mentality, although he can only play in the Development League with the Lakers, he still maintains a lot of patience and waits for the opportunity to come. Now, in the second round of the playoffs, the Lakers suddenly recalled him, and Marjanovic was also flattered and extremely excited to return to the Staples Center.

Seeing Mayanovic again, Chu Xuan couldn't help but have a good impression of this big man. In fact, Chu Xuan has always wanted to cultivate Marjanovic, because in Chu Xuan's opinion, Marjanovic has every hope of becoming a weakened version of Yao Ming, and it is enough to be an excellent rotation player. However, the Lakers' interior lineup this year was too crowded, so Marjanovic had to be abandoned.

"Big man, you've got a task, and you want to do a tough job. Now it's up to you to perform......"

As the team prepares, Chu Xuan walked up to Marjanovic, who was training with Downs, and said with an expressionless face.

Seeing Chu Xuan's stern appearance, Maryanovich couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, and he was a little nervous when he spoke: "Head, I, I will work hard." ”

"Well, come on, the situation in the NBA is so good right now, take advantage of this opportunity, maybe it won't be long before you can get a big contract." Chu Xuan nodded and left leisurely.

Marjanovic couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although the champion coach was young, he was always able to give him a sense of oppression, which made Marjanovic also feel a lot of pressure.

However, after Chu Xuan walked away, Tang Si laughed: "Big man, you are so afraid of heads." It's a shame, haha, I'm telling you, the head is just a little cold on the surface, but in fact he's a good guy. But you just behaved like a child. ”

In the face of Downs's teasing, Marjanovich couldn't help but snort: "Karl, how calm can you be when you first started?" They even laughed at me......"

Marjanovic looked like a big brother, not to mention a second brother, which made Downs can't help but raise his eyebrows: "Hey, rookie guy, do you talk to the old man like this?" ”

"You call me a rookie?" Marjanovich glared.

Downs raised an eyebrow: "What, isn't it?" ”

"You little guy, you call me a rookie. Carl, you're the rookie. ”

"Do you dare to talk back? Big guy, come on, let me pack you up. Facing a person who has played dozens of times more in the NBA than you, dare not call himself a rookie? ”

"Come on, come, whoever is afraid of whom. Carl, I'm sure I'm not going to lose to you. Marjanovich stared at the big eyes of the cattle foreman, looking at Downs, who was more than half a head lower than him, and exuded a strong fighting spirit.

*******

Dozens of minutes later, there was no doubt that Downs easily cleaned up Marjanovich and finally got the guy to admit that he was a rookie.

However, Marjanovic also had a very eye-catching play against the Downs, and his defense caused a lot of problems for the Downs. If it weren't for Downs' great shooting, it would have been so easy to win Marjanovic single-handedly.

……

The atmosphere of the Lakers' team is very good, which makes Chu Xuan want to be satisfied.

Marjanovic quickly integrated into the team, and his effect as a substitute was obviously very good, which made Chu Xuan full of confidence in the next series. Like, as long as the bench is deep enough, it's not particularly difficult to beat the Warriors.

Of course, Chu Xuan did not dare to take the opponent of the warrior lightly. You must know that Curry, Thompson, and Durant are all the kind of players with super offensive ability, and they may feel violent from time to time, and one person can direct a wave. It can be said that because the Warriors have a big three, the team can be described as a nerve knife. When a team like this plays out of form, it's definitely hard to contain.

And then there's Steve Cole. This coach is as bold as ever, and he has a very high standard in coaching. He has studied with historical coaches like Popovich and Jackson, and he has a deep and true biography. His level can be seen from the fact that he has combined the Big Three to create a strong Warriors team.

Now, when the two meet, Chu Xuan still wants to look forward to this, he wants to step on Steve Cole under his feet, that result is what he is happy to see, after all, for Chu Xuan, if he wants to become the one at the top of the coaching pyramid, he must show a level that overpowers everyone.
