Chapter 36: Healing and Roles
Garivetti stared at Knoll for a long time before nodding with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Nolens, your knees are back like steel. However, I hope you will be able to get used to it slowly and not use it too much. ”
After a pause, Garivetti continued: "However, your situation tells me that you can already play. ”
When Knoll heard this, his face suddenly showed a relief ecstasy, and he smiled like a child: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Garivetti. Thank you for the good news. To hell with the damn knee injury. ”
Garivetty smiled and nodded, "Yes, Nolens." From this time together, I have found that you are strong, and in this alliance, you need to be a little braver. I think you're going to make it, you're on such good terms. Come on, Nolens. ”
Noel laughed, obviously still unable to hold back his joy: "Thank you." Thank you also for your help during this time. However, I thought I should share the good news with my family. ”
Garivetty nodded, "Yes, Nolens, you should." ”

Chu Xuan, who was training with the players in the training hall, suddenly received a document from a staff member.
At this time, Kobe Bryant was also by Chu Xuan's side, although he couldn't play, he didn't stay at home, but coached young players on the side.
This approach is what Chu Xuan wants, because in Chu Xuan's view, Kobe Bryant's nearly 20 years of experience on the court is priceless, and if he is willing to pass it on to young players, it will undoubtedly be the greatest help to the Lakers.
"What's wrong? Chu, is there anything going on? Kobe Bryant glanced at Chu Xuan and couldn't help asking.
The document was a simple piece of paper with a report on Noren Snorl's injury and illness.
After Chu Xuan read it, he handed the document to the puzzled Kobe.
'Norlens has recovered from his knee injury and Gary reports that he can play.
Kobe Bryant took a general look, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "This is good news, I have long wanted to see what Norlens can do." After all, he's the one you recommend. ”
Chu Xuan smiled: "Although I highly recommend him to play for the Lakers, he must also be recognized by you, otherwise, he would not be able to come here." ”
As Chu Xuan said, when the deal of Knoll was completed, Kobe Bryant played the biggest role in it.
"But I didn't see him play in the NBA, he was really good in college, and I just think he's very talented now. He needs to be recognized by me with his performances in the NBA. ”
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Kobe." You're right, he has to be convincing. By the way, Kobe, who do you think Norlens is more like? ”
Kobe Bryant thought for a moment and said, "That African mountain, they have some equally good defensive skills. However, Nolens is a little shorter. ”
Chu Xuan smiled: "He is only 19 years old, and it is very likely that he will grow a little taller." Actually, Kobe Bryant, I think he can be a better player than the African mountains, after all, he can be more well-rounded. ”
Kobe Bryant turned his head and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "That's why you chose him?" ”
Chu Xuan laughed: "It can be understood in this way, I regard him as the core of the inner line, and he is our champion puzzle." ”

"Phil, are you looking for me?"
Chu Xuan received the call and immediately came to Phil Webb's office.
At this time, there was another person in his office, and it was Dan D'Antoni, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Hi Dan, when are you coming back. You seem to be in good spirits, and it looks like that damn flu is far away from you. ”
Dande Anthony looked at Chu Xuan with a flat expression: "Yes, Chu, it is already in the past tense." I can do my job again. ”
Before Chu Xuan could speak, he only heard Phil Webb coughing.
Phil Webber smiled and said: "Dan is very inspired and experienced in attack, and now that he's back, I feel he can continue to be in charge of attacking. As for Chu, you still have to take care of rebounding and defense, which you have been doing. ”
Chu Xuan looked at the two of them and knew that this might be what Dande Anthony meant. After all, they have been partners for more than ten years, and their relationship is far better than that between him and Phil Webb.
"Okay, Phil. I don't have a problem at all, and I'll do the defensive work. However, I would like to have the opportunity to develop an inside line at the same time. Chu Xuan said.
Dande Anthony stripped him of his job as soon as he returned, weakening his influence. Chu Xuan naturally wouldn't accept it easily, he had his plans.
Dande Antoni has always been in charge of this player development. If Chu Xuan wanted to completely take over this job, it would definitely be impossible. However, considering the current situation of the Lakers, Chu Xuan feels that he can take over one aspect, that is, the cultivation of interior players.
Phil Webb looked at Dande Anthony, thought about it slightly, and said with a smile: "No problem, Chu's ability is convincing." Then you are responsible for the development of the inside players, and Dan is responsible for the development of the outside players. ”
Dande Anthony looked at Chu Xuan with interest, but in the end he didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing to Phil Webb's arrangement.
You know, he and Phil Webb are both people who belong to Mike D'Anthony, and they've been working together for too long. Sometimes, he can't wipe the other party's face.
Seeing that Dan Anthony had no opinion, Phil Webb immediately said: "Speaking of the inside line, I have one thing to say. It just so happens that both of you are here, so let's discuss it. ”
Chu Xuan raised his head, feeling in his heart that Phil Webber was likely to say something about Noren Snorr.
"Okay, Phil, just tell me something." Dande Anthony spoke.
Phil Webb nodded and said, "Chu may already know about this, but Dan, you just came back, and you may not know." Just now Gariverti handed over a test report saying that Noren Snoll had fully recovered his knee. In other words, we have one more inside big man to use. But he's just recovered from injury, so I'd like to hear your views on when and how to play and how to make a role. ”
After listening to this, Dande Anthony said without thinking: "Nolens's body is too thin, and his injury is just right. I think I can observe a few more days and let him do a few more team trainings. Then give him the role of a substitute and let him slowly adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. ”
Chu Xuan listened to Dande Anthony's suggestion, and suddenly had an objection in his heart.
'I think Nolens should start and be available for tomorrow's game.
A hint of surprise flashed across Phil Webb's face, and then he asked, "Chu, can you explain the reason for your thoughts?" ”
Chu Xuan nodded and said, "There are too many things that Nolens has encountered this year, and everything may make him lose his self-confidence. So no matter what his real quality is, we should give him a good role, which will make him feel valued by the team. It also allows him not to lose his self-confidence.
Furthermore, his knee injury had left him resting for too long. And in the past few days, through his training with the team, I can feel how eager he is to play. So, he's definitely full of energy right now. Let him play right away, maybe he can have unexpected gains. ”
