On January 9, Beijing time, the Lakers challenged the Houston Rockets away, and in this first and second meeting, the Lakers finally had the last laugh, defeating the Rockets by 111:93 by 18 points. In the end, the record changed to 28-8, and was able to share the first place in the West with the Rockets.

In this game, Kobe Bryant completely suppressed Harden in his performance, and he used his actions to tell everyone who was the first quarterback. In addition to the two, Lakers center Whiteside played 20 minutes off the bench and contributed 2 points, 18 rebounds and 3 blocks. Noll contributed 16 points and 8 boards, and Green contributed 9 points, 5 boards, 5 assists, 5 steals and 1 block. Jeremy Lin had 12 points and 7 assists, Nash had 5 points and 6 assists, and Brother Alphabet contributed 15 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds in 15 minutes.

As for the Rockets, Warcraft Howard contributed 28 points and 12 boards, and Parsons had 20 points and 5 boards.

Judging from the comparison between the two sides, the Lakers are full of talent today, and they have completely suppressed the Rockets in terms of both the main force and the bench.

Obviously, such a Lakers can undoubtedly have a lot of competitiveness this season. ”

-- Sports News.

"The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Rockets to finish first in the West for the first time this season.

Behind the team's sudden outburst and success, there is clearly an incredible effort.

There is no doubt that such a Lakers, with Kobe, Norris Noll, Big White Edge, Dream Green, Nash and so on, is definitely a team that cannot be ignored.

Their big man roster is likely to be the X-factor in the playoffs this season.

And if the Lakers can reach the Finals, it is likely to pose a great threat to the Heat's small lineup. ”

-- ESPN column.

In the post-match interview, Whiteside said that he has the ability to be a starter, but he is willing to obey all the arrangements of head coach Chu Xuan and is willing to accept any role.

And when head coach Chu Xuan talked about the Lakers' achievements in reaching the top of the West, he put the credit on the players. When asked why he chose to use a big lineup when the popularity of small balls swept the world, Chu Xuan said, "It's because no one uses it, so I will choose to use it, which may be able to have an alternative effect."

Obviously, behind Chu Xuan's humor, it shows that he is a young man with ideas and foresight, and the Lakers undoubtedly have the possibility of blooming dazzling brilliance under his coaching. ”

-- Time Warner TNT.

"Judging from Chu Xuan's employment strategy, he is pursuing the height of the overall player, and he is chasing the retro traditional basketball inside. This is the same as the small ball style back then, this young man is boldly making a change. If he can succeed, maybe the Lakers of the showtime era will come back.

At that point, perhaps the Lakers will once again dominate the league. ”

……

The Lakers defeated the Rockets, had the same record as the Rockets, and finally achieved the top of the West, which triggered a lot of external reactions.

All the media was discussing and studying the Lakers' success, and for a while, there seemed to be no secrets left.

In this case, the Lakers have been studied in many ways. It is not difficult to find that the Lakers will obviously face a lot of resistance from now on. And his road to winning will obviously not be so smooth.

And that's exactly what happened.

After the game against the Rockets, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles for a local derby against the Clippers.

The intensity of this game is comparable to that of the playoffs, and Chu Xuan's coaching career was challenged for the first time, and it was former Celtics head coach Doug Rivers who caused all this.

I have to say that the former Green Army coach has studied the Lakers very thoroughly, and his defensive arrangement can always contain the Lakers' offense just right.

Of course, under Chu Xuan's defensive arrangement, the game eventually evolved into a defensive battle, in which the collision and confrontation were fierce, and the ratings caused were also huge.

In this game, Griffin of the Clippers ushered in an explosion, he made 15 of 20 shots from the field, contributed 32 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and almost single-handedly fought against the entire interior group of the Lakers.

You must know that in today's league, the Lakers' interior strength is definitely one of the best. And it can be said that teams throughout the league are jealous of the Lakers' interior line. However, in this game, Griffin, who is only 24 years old, was able to play such a performance, which is absolutely shocking.

Of course, the performance in this game also made Griffin a cult after fans and the media.

And when discussing the number one striker, his name immediately rose to the top of the list.

In this game, Paul was 10 of 14, contributing 22 points, 6 assists and 3 steals. He greatly suppressed the Lakers' No. 1 position, which once made the Lakers fall into the predicament of collapse several times.

However, in the end, with Chu Xuan's improvisation again and again, coupled with Kobe's stunner to overtake the score, the Lakers finally passed the test 98:97.

defeated the Clippers, and the Lakers ushered in a 15-game winning streak, which caused a great news sensation.

As a result, Kobe Bryant was unsurprisingly named Player of the Week, the first time a Lakers player has won such an award this season.

For Kobe Bryant, at such an advanced age, he can beat so many stars to win the best of the week, which is enough to show his personal strength. Clearly, he's still one of the best players in the league.

There may still be many people who disagree, but the 29-8 record and 15-game winning streak are living evidence that makes any doubts unconvincing.

********

On the 11th, the day after the end of the Clippers game.

After three consecutive away games, the Lakers players were given three days off, and there was no doubt that Chu Xuan gave the players a day off, and his tense nerves were also relaxed on this day.

dialed the phone, and a sweet female voice came from the other side, which was Chu Xuan's favorite voice to hear.

"Honey, what are you doing? I'll pick you up, let's go to the movies. ”

However, there was some anger in Adeline's voice: "Don't go to the movie with you, I'm going to sleep." ”

Chu Xuan immediately understood that this big beauty was angry. However, he didn't think Adeline was serious, because according to his understanding, Adeline's temper was really good, and she belonged to the kind of girl who was more rational but romantic.

Obviously, Adeline today is undoubtedly a bit of an anomaly.

However, Chu Xuan thought about it, but he couldn't think of why Adeline was angry.

"My dear, I'm almost fainting from my busy time this time, and I really don't care enough for you. Here, I express my greatest repentance. Well, beautiful Ms. Adeline, please allow Mr. Chu Xuan to invite you to watch the movie, and then apologize. ”

Adeline snorted, "No." ”

Chu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, this big beauty was really angry, it seemed that he really did something wrong.

"Honey, I know I must have you off somewhere. It's just, how about you give me a hint. Really, I'm so tired these days. ”

"Hmph, are you tired of going to nightclubs? Ignore me, I'm not going out with you today. ”

Chu Xuan was slightly stunned, but then suddenly smiled, it turned out to be this matter.

"Honey, I remember. At that time, I promised to explain to you what happened in the Dallas nightclub, but I was so busy playing against the Rockets and Clippers that I forgot about it for a while. Actually, that's what it was......"

……

Half an hour later.

Chu Xuan drove his first car, the modified Ford F-150, at the gate of the UCLA Business School.

Although such a car is not very luxurious and precious, its domineering appearance has attracted the attention of many students, and then everyone is curious about what kind of character will be sitting inside.

However, Chu Xuan didn't go out, he didn't want to cause an unnecessary sensation.

Because in today's UCLA, the name Chu Xuan is definitely like thunder, he is the prince charming in the eyes of many UCLA female students, and he is the object of male worship.

There is no doubt that as soon as Chu Xuan goes out, once someone recognizes him, he will definitely be surrounded.

At that time, Adeline will definitely be noticed, so she will not be able to stay in school cleanly.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Adeline finally came out.

A group of students suddenly had straight eyes when they saw the coldest goddess in UCLA appear.

And some students are even ready to catch up and strike up a conversation.

However, when Adeline was seen sitting in Chu Xuan's Ford SUV, there was a wail in front of the UCLA campus. Everyone couldn't help but cry out with grief and indignation, the coldest goddess in the history of UCLA was soaked in someone's hands!
