The three-way trade is a bit difficult for Lakers fans to accept. But then, to the comfort of fans, the Lakers officially issued a statement that Kobe Bryant was confirmed to play in the opening game against the Clippers. The news sent a wave around the world, with all eyes on the tournament two days later.

He hasn't played for more than six years, and everyone is looking forward to what kind of performance Kobe Bryant can use to announce his return. After all, he injured his Achilles tendon, and such an injury made too many players unable to recover and chose to retire directly.

And I have to say, Kobe Bryant is an amazing guy. In just six months, he successfully recovered. Although we haven't seen him perform yet, everyone thinks it's a miracle.

"Noren Snoll doesn't know how long it will take to play? Is it really going to be reimbursed for the season? I don't know when the twin towers I want to see will appear. Alas, when the time comes, it will definitely be an inner iron bucket array. ”

Looking at the Lakers roster, Chu Xuan was excited but a little lost at the same time, he wanted Whiteside and Noll to form an inside twin tower.

In his opinion, the two of them are afraid that they will cast an airtight inner line defense array.

However, Knoll's knee recovery is unknown. The news from the Lakers is that he will also miss at least a month. And if the situation is bad, there is a good chance that the season will be reimbursed.

This is a scene that Chu Xuan does not want to see, and he hopes that "Akagi-kun" can help the Lakers and Kobe Bryant this year. After all, this deal was the result of his efforts to broker it, and Kobe Bryant wasted a lot of effort to put pressure on Lakers management.

After all, giving up next year's draft pick is not an easy decision to make.

"Although Noll can't fight, Hassan can still use it. He's no less useful than Kaman. But will this D'Antoni reuse him? ”

This was the only thing Chu Xuan was worried about. After all, he knew that D'Antoni had always been very strange in employing people. In his previous life, Kaman was not introduced as a starting center forward, but the result was not that he was not reused, and in the end he often sat on the cold bench.

Whiteside had a terrible NBA performance in the past few years, and although he impressed head coach D'Antoni and general manager Kupchak with his performances in this summer's tryouts and subsequent preseasons, who knows if D'Antoni will really value him.

If things really didn't go the way he envisioned them, then maybe things could have been very different. At that time, the Lakers are afraid that they will really be on the cusp of the storm, and the situation will be extremely difficult.

However, Chu Xuan, who was just a scout, didn't have any way.

All he can expect is that D'Antoni will be able to use Whiteside.

This is what Chu Xuan expects to see, because he really wants to see what kind of performance Whiteside can play in 13 years.

Oct. 29, Staples Center Arena.

The opening game of the Lakers' 13~14 season will be held at 8 p.m., and the area near Staples is shrouded in heat waves and frenzy.

On Gloya Street in South Africa, on the main road of the entire street, vehicles are next to each other, and dense crowds of people are pouring into the stadium.

As night falls, the neon lights come on, and the Staples Center shines in a different light.

Ronald Hamlin, a full-time scout for the Lakers, was wearing a hat with the Lakers' logo as he followed the crowd towards the arena doors.

And next to him is Chu Xuan, who was appointed as a scout by Kupchak this summer.

"Chu, are you really only 21 years old?" Ronald's face was one of disbelief.

You know, at the age of 21, I'm afraid I haven't even been able to finish college. But Chu Xuan has officially stepped into society, and he is still an NBA scout, which is really unprecedented.

Chu Xuan didn't look at Ronald, he just glanced around at the excited fans. And his heart was just as excited. Although Chu Xuan had come to Staples many times to watch the game before, for Chu Xuan now, it was the first time for him to watch the game in person, and the feeling was really indescribably wonderful. Especially for a die-hard fan, it is impossible to calm his heart easily.

"Yes, Ronald, I'm really only 21. You've asked this question countless times, but it's really the only answer. ”

Ronald Hamlin shook his head, his expression slightly exaggerated: "But I really can't believe it's true." A 21-year-old was able to become an NBA scout. Man, how lucky you have to be. This is something that has never been seen before. ”

Chu Xuan laughed: "Ronald, you really don't need to be so surprised. Wouldn't you be crazy if I were to become an assistant coach on the team? ”

Ronald shook his head and laughed: "Chu, you really know how to joke. But that's absolutely impossible, 10 years from now, maybe 10 years from now you'll be able to be a coach. But now it's really impossible, and if you really do, I think I'll be shocked to jump into the sea and sober up to see if the world is real. ”

Chu Xuan smiled, a different look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"That's right, Chu. What are your thoughts on today's game? It's the first game of the new season and it's so important. ”

Chu Xuan moved his eyelids and said without hesitation: "Of course I hope that the Lakers can win this city derby, you know, the vast majority of people now look down on the Lakers." ”

Ronald sighed, nodded and said, "yes, it's an insult that the damn ESPN actually predicted the Lakers' record to the bottom three in the West." ”

Looking at the angry Ronald, Chu Xuan smiled. ESPN's prediction is not so outrageous, and if the Lakers' main players do suffer injuries, the Lakers will really have to compete for next year's high draft pick.

"It's bad, I don't know which guy's attention actually gave the draft pick to the Cavaliers. It's an idiotic approach. ”

Before Chu Xuan could speak, he heard Ronald's complaint.

He couldn't help frowning, it seemed that this method of exchanging Noll was really not favored. Even the Lakers' full-time scouts are looking down and complaining about it.

"Uh, Ronald. Do you really think that next year is a big year for the draft? The quality of the rookie must be good? Chu Xuan ignored Ronald's swearing and asked with his eyelids raised.

Ronald spread his hands and said with a slightly excited expression: "Of course, next year there will be Andrew, Jabari, Joel, Aaron Gordon, Dante Exum, Smart, Julius, Noah, James, Nick, Zach LaVine...... Too many geniuses. As long as the Lakers get one, they will be able to have a successor. ”

Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile: "Do you really think Norris is inferior to those guys?" ”

"Of course, in the next year, at least 10 guys who are better than Norris can be identified. If it were next year, he might be selected in the lottery, but definitely not now. Ronald couldn't help but raise his voice.

Chu Xuan shook his head again and didn't argue with him anymore.

Obviously, it is useless to say more, everything can only wait for Norris Noll's performance to speak.
