On October 29, local time in the United States, the Lakers defeated the Clippers in an upset, and Kobe's performance made all doubters temporarily shut their mouths. The efficient performance of the Lakers got off to a good start to the season. - FSN reports for you.

"The key to the Lakers' win is the bench, and in this game, Mike De Anthony controlled the playing time of the main players well, which allowed the bench to play well, and also greatly reduced the pressure on veterans such as Nash, Kobe Bryant, and Gasol. In this game, the Lakers' bench contributed 45 points, while the Clippers only had 22 points, which was an unbelievable result. However, I believe that Coach Rivers will make adjustments soon, after all, their goal this season is to compete for the championship. ”――TNT。

"The Lakers just played a good game, and Kobe Bryant's quality is not something that can be proven by one game. The Clippers' poor play gave the Lakers a chance, but that doesn't mean the Lakers are already a better team than the Clippers. This season, as long as the Lakers don't make roster changes, they may have a hard time making the playoffs. ”――ESPN。

"Hehe, ESPN really still likes Black Kobe and Black Lakers. But this game, the Lakers are really powerful, and Kobe Bryant was able to play such an efficient performance. ”

Back at home, Chu Xuan's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time, and he was still a little hot. Kobe Bryant's performance surprised him a bit, with a shooting rate of nearly 50%, 22 points in 25 minutes, and an efficiency value of +6, such a comeback performance can only be described as perfect.

However, Chu Xuan was just happy for a while, he didn't think Kobe Bryant could continue that kind of performance, after all, in his previous life, Kobe's last few years of career could only be described as rotten.

Thinking of Kobe's hidden injuries, Chu Xuan had to pray secretly, hoping that after Kobe Bryant recovered this time, he would not be injured like in his previous life. Otherwise, I'm afraid everything will still go according to the original trajectory.

For this game, Kobe Bryant only played 25 minutes, and Chu Xuan strongly agreed with D'Antoni's approach. After all, Kobe Bryant has just returned, and controlling his playing time is extremely necessary. And considering the Achilles tendon injury that Kobe Bryant has suffered, Chu Xuan even thinks that Kobe Bryant's playing time should be controlled within 30 minutes throughout the season. That would not only be beneficial to the Lakers, but also a kind of protection for Kobe.

As for the amazing performance of Thackeray?

"Hey Hassan, you didn't go to experience the night in Los Angeles?"

Hearing the footsteps, Chu Xuan stopped thinking and greeted him with a smile.

Whiteside threw his backpack on the couch and sat down, looking slightly lost.

"How can I be in this mood, alas, this game is so exciting, I didn't even get the opportunity to play, it's really heart-wrenching." Whiteside pouted, he really wanted to play, even if it was for a few minutes.

Chu Xuan sighed slightly, he could understand Whiteside's reaction. In this game, D'Antoni did not put him on the activation list at all.

"Hassan, don't be discouraged, there will be a chance soon. All you have to do now is prepare and wait for your chance, and I have every confidence that you will be able to make a splash. Chu Xuan smiled and encouraged him.

"I don't know when, you can see it, Robert's performance today has earned him absolute playing time. Coach Mike trusts him a lot, and it's hard for me to get a chance. ”

As he spoke, Whiteside felt a little impatient. He thinks he is better than Thackeray, but he is helpless, Thackeray now has a higher status in the heart of manager D'Antoni than him.

Chu Xuan understands Whiteside's feelings, although the player's performance is related to tactics and the importance of the head coach, but he believes that in the face of absolute strength, everything is useless.

"Hassan, it's gold that always shines. Maybe in the next game, you'll be able to get a few minutes of playing time? Even if it's garbage time. Now all you have to think about is how to play well in this possible game in the future. ”

Whiteside nodded: "That's fine, as long as I have playing time, I'm going to put in a convincing performance." This experience in the year that disappeared from the NBA has made me grow a lot, and I know what to do. ”

Chu Xuan nodded, Whiteside's sharpness and arrogance have really been weakened a lot with the experience of the NBDL Vipers and the NBL Golden Strong, which is extremely important for a player who is eager to play in the NBA.

********

The next day, the Lakers head coach's office.

D'Antoni was sitting on the sofa, holding a document in his hand and reading it carefully, and the name of the note on this information was Chu Xuan.

This is Chu Xuan's scouting report, which contains 13 mistakes and tactical misarrangements in the Lakers and Clippers games, as well as the mistakes made by each player in the game, including Kobe Bryant, who can be called a perfect comeback.

Yes, although Chu Xuan greatly appreciated Kobe's performance in defeating the Clippers in the season opener, he still pointed out what Kobe did wrong, which surprised D'Antoni.

This scouting report is the best scouting report written by D'Antoni this time, and Chu Xuan's seriousness in observing the game and rigorous work attitude make D'Antoni extremely appreciative in his heart. And most importantly, more than 50% of what Chu Xuan wrote was approved by D'Antoni.

Therefore, at this time, D'Antoni specially took Chu Xuan's scouting report and read it again.

The focus that Chu Xuan pointed out is still on the inside, which is what the Lakers need to pay attention to in the next games. Chu Xuan's opinion is that Jordan Hill is only suitable to be a backup center, and if Thackeray still follows the style of play against the Clippers, then he will be limited in the next game and may play badly.

Therefore, with a limited number of people to fight on the inside, Chu Xuan suggested that D'Antoni would be able to use two inside players, Whiteside and Ryan Kelly.
