"Chu, congratulations, you have achieved another great achievement, it seems that you are going to be the biggest threat to the American team next year, I wonder if I need to remind Coach K and let him start thinking about how to deal with you now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Kupchekron laughed loudly and appeared at the door of the arena.

The preseason is approaching, and Chu Xuan returned to Staples for the first time after the offseason, and as the general manager, it was quite surprising that he came to greet him in person. Of course, this can make people feel that Kupchak attaches great importance to Chu Xuan, or a kind of respect, and it can also see that Chu Xuan, who won two championships for the Lakers in the first two years of his coaching career, is in the current Lakers team.

Kupchak's joke came from the fact that the Chinese team was ravaging the Asian Championships this year, because the Chinese team's performance was so strong that it has attracted the attention of the world. As many media reports have reported, with a world-class coach and some good players, the Chinese men's basketball team may really usher in an opportunity to rise.

And leading the Chinese men's basketball team to an average of 40+ victories per game is naturally another great achievement in Chu Xuan's coaching career.

"Haha, Mitch, if you let him figure out how to deal with me, wouldn't you be afraid that someone would come to deal with the Lakers? So I think the Chinese team and the Lakers should maintain a very close relationship. By the way, have you heard about the training camp? It is said that Carl and Norris, Hassan and others are not very calling. ”

Chu Xuan talked about a situation that Nash had mentioned when he called him, that is, because Downs was not satisfied with the situation of being a substitute player in the future, the confrontation with Whiteside and Noll in training camp could be said to be very fierce, and it could even be described as full of gunpowder. Like, Downs wants to be a starter, and he doesn't want to be a substitute for anyone. Even if the Lakers' interior line is Whiteside and Noll.

"I've heard about it, but I don't think it's a big deal. You know, it's good for young people to be competitive, which is good for our team to grow faster. Carl I met and he was a really good big man. A lot of people on the team already have a lot of respect for him, thinking he's going to be one of the best interior players in the league. I have to admire your provocative eye, I think if you are a full-time scout, someone is willing to give you an annual salary of tens of millions. ”

"Hehe, it seems that you have a good impression of this guy." Chu Xuan laughed: "He does have the potential to become the best center, now that I'm back, I'll deal with the problems of these guys." ”

Kupchak laughed: "yes, the new season is about to start, and I think our dynasty plans are also starting to be on the agenda. ”

Chu Xuan laughed: "Of course, it starts today." ”

**************

"Hi guys, how was the holiday?"

Chu Xuan walked into the training hall, which immediately caused the players to shout wildly.

After getting the response, Chu Xuan laughed again: "Originally, I was worried that you all became soft-footed shrimp because of relaxation, but it seems that my worries are unnecessary." Well...... In the new season, I have one request, which is that everyone must be united, and I don't want all the non-field problems to affect us. ”

In fact, in this season, Chu Xuan began to worry about player contracts and player positioning. However, if you really talk about it, the Lakers won't have much of a problem next summer because of their contracts, and there will probably only be three or four people who need to re-sign by then. And the real big risk is that the year after tomorrow, that is, in the summer of '17, when a group of potential new stars of the Lakers are facing the situation of re-signing contracts, and there will definitely be some problems because of contract problems. After all, sometimes the annual salary of a player is also a reflection of the status of the team, and it is inevitable that young players will not compare when the time comes. The second is player positioning, Towns' incident is the most typical example, the Lakers have too many excellent players in stock, and a group of people want to play the main team, so it is inevitable that there will be hidden dangers. After all, young people are not as easy as old players to accept positions that do not meet expectations.

"Karl, Devin and Michael, first of all, welcome to the Lakers family, and I think you'll be proud to be part of this great team in the days to come. Then, I think we need to talk about it......"

The three rookies followed Chu Xuan to the sidelines.

Downs didn't have any emotional fluctuations, he seemed calm, or faintly frustrated.

Devin Booker and Fraser were more excited, and they expressed the excitement they felt when they saw Chu Xuan.

Since last year's NCAA progress, Booker has been the focus of Chu Xuan's investigation. And now that the Lakers got Booker as they wished, he was naturally quite happy. In Chu Xuan's planning, Devin Booker's development template is Klay Thompson, who wants to focus on developing his offensive ability rather than developing him as a playmaker point guard. Regarding this point, Chu Xuan is ready to hand it over to Phil Webb, and at the same time, Kobe, who is a historical offensive master, will also become a good mentor for him.

As for Fraser, he is only 193cm tall and is a quality scorer produced by the University of Florida. As a shooting guard, he was somewhat lacking in height, which affected his draft prospects. Originally, according to the draft prediction, Fraser was very likely to be undrafted, but in the end he was selected by the Lakers with the 39th pick. The Lakers chose Fraser for his three-point ability, the 21-year-old is currently only 21 years old, he played at the University of Florida for three years, and in three years the three-point shooting rate reached a terrifying 43.2%, including a team-history record of hitting 11 three-pointers in a single game and 118 three-pointers in a single season. According to Chu Xuan's plan, he is ready to develop Frazier's playmaking skills, and Nash can help him well, so that Frazier can also serve as the Lakers' future backup point guard.

As for the Downs? Chu Xuan still has a lot of headaches about this guy's arrangement.

After Booker and Fraser returned to the court to practice, Chu Xuan was ready to talk to Downs.

"Carl, I know you don't want to be the No. 1 pick, and as rumored to be, forcing the Lakers to trade for the No. 1 pick was exactly my idea."

Chu Xuan said it so bluntly, but Tang Si couldn't help but be stunned, and there was no way to vent the unhappiness of the summer for a while.

Seeing Tang Si stunned, Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile in his heart, such a rookie, if he wants to play with him, he is really much more tender.

"Karl, I strongly wanted you because I saw in you a quality and potential that makes you different, and I think you will be the best center forward in the future, and even Hassan will not be able to compare to you." Chu Xuan had a warm smile on his face: "It's just that you are a rookie after all, and you also need to grow slowly." And the Lakers are a team that wants to win a championship, so I can't provide the kind of space and growth that some teams that are in the woes can give you. However, I believe that staying with the Lakers is your best bet and your talent will be 100% cashed out. My plan was for you to play the sixth man, a role you've been comfortable with since college. Of course, if I have the chance, I'll put you in the starting line-up and try it out. ”

Seeing that Downs was in a daze, Chu Xuan continued: "I can tell you that in the tactical positioning of the Lakers, you and Hassan, Norris and others are at the same level. But, you're new after all, do you know what I mean? You need to start with the bench and work your way up one step at a time. However, I can guarantee your playing time, I guarantee you at least 20~25 minutes of playing time, and I will continue to increase your time on this basis when the time is right. So, you don't have to think too much, this will only be the stage for you to take off, not the place to bury your talent. Especially since this is the team that I lead, I think you can choose to believe in me and I believe that I can do what I promised. ”

As soon as Chu Xuan said this, Tang Si's mood that had been entangled for a summer suddenly brightened, and all the gloom was swept away. Chu Xuan is different from Nash, Nash is just an assistant coach, and he can't give Dons any promises, so this summer, any work done by Nash is of little effect, and it can't eliminate Downs's complex psychology. But Chu Xuan is different, Chu Xuan is the head coach, and everything about the team is something he can decide. Therefore, at this time, he came back to give Towns a promise, and the Lakers' hidden dangers on the inside were completely solved.

Seeing the smile on Tang Si's face, Chu Xuan knew that the problem was solved.

Downs laughed: "Head, my goal is the best rookie, you give me enough time, even as a substitute, I think I will get this year's best rookie." ”

Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing: "It seems that this is your goal, Best Rookie, this is indeed what you should get, and I will help you too." Karl, go ahead, work hard, your talent won't be delayed. Remember what I told you, the only one who can hinder your growth is yourself! ”

"Okay, head, thank you!"

……

After chatting with Tang Si, Chu Xuan immediately talked to Kobe Bryant and everyone else.

Whiteside was in a good mood, the guy got married to Monica in the summer, and it was still in the sweet spot. When Whiteside got married, although Chu Xuan was abroad, he still entrusted a car company to send a Hummer to Whiteside as a wedding gift......

Regarding the matter of Downs, Whiteside was also somewhat affected, after all, Downs is very talented and poses a great threat to Whiteside. However, Whiteside has been with the Lakers for two years and is one of the biggest contributors to the Lakers' two consecutive championships. And he would never believe that the team would let a rookie replace him as the starting center, after all, his individual ability is also an All-Star level, and he is not at an age where he relies on seniority.

Chu Xuan assured that Whiteside would always start this year and would work hard to help Whiteside become an All-Star, which made the only worry in Whiteside's heart completely disappear. It seems that Chu Xuan really has nothing to say to him, and the relationship between the two is still unbreakable and extremely intimate. (To be continued.) )
