Chapter 107: Whiteside's Outburst
For Whiteside, being beaten by Oden at Christmas seemed to have become a heart problem and gave him a lot of motivation to work hard.
And under Chu Xuan's stimulation, this guy finally got serious for a few days, and the level of hard work and seriousness in training was unprecedented.
Of course, more importantly, he doesn't do bad things so obscenely when he chats with Monica at night, so that he doesn't have energy.
In this way, Whiteside finally broke out.
In the next two games, Whiteside, who started the game, contributed 18 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks and 13 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks respectively.
This performance immediately made him the focus of media attention. Led by him and Knoll, the Heat easily won two more games, bringing the team's winning streak to 10.
The 10-game winning streak made Kupchak and his boss Jimbas very happy, and praised all the players for this. Moreover, Jim Bass also specially met with Chu Xuan, and the two had a long talk.
For Chu Xuan, Whiteside's outburst was something that made him extremely happy. This gave him hope for the Twin Towers combination.

On the morning of the 29th.
A white Ford F150 is parked in the underground parking lot in Staples.
Chu Xuan and Whiteside walked out of the car.
"Chu, this car looks really good, and I suddenly want to buy one. Alas, you even modified him, it's really too extravagant. ”
Whiteside kept babbling that this had been going on all morning.
It turned out that this car was the modified Ford that Chu Xuan bought before Christmas, and after a few days, Chu Xuan received a call to pick up the car, so he chose to pick up the car.
And when Whiteside found out, he had to follow. Chu Xuan had no choice, so he naturally took him with him.
After seeing Chu Xuan's car, this guy immediately liked it. And he didn't drive his own car, so he had to let Chu Xuan pull him to the stadium.
Moreover, this guy kept chattering in Chu Xuan's ear along the way.
"Hassan, you are not short of money, you can buy it if you want!" Chu Xuan smiled, and couldn't help but look at the car that had just arrived, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
When Whiteside heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly: "How can I be as rich as you now, your business is really making more and more money." Chu, it's better to do that, I'll invest the money I lent you into your business, and you give me some shares. Then you don't have to pay me back. Haha, so you can also take me to make a fortune. ”
"Uh, Hassan, are you sure you want to follow me into business for once? What if I lose it? Then you're gone. Chu Xuan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this guy to want to partner with him.
Whiteside couldn't help but laugh and said, "Chu, as I said when I first met you, it must be right to follow you. I firmly believe in my choice. ”
"Uh, okay. Since you insist, let's talk about this when we have time. Chu Xuan thought about it, and then did not refuse Whiteside. You know, his business wants to grow slowly, and his funds are also quite tight.
Seeing Chu Xuan agree, Whiteside suddenly smiled, since he knew that Chu Xuan was making more and more money in business, he admired Chu Xuan even more. Of course, more envy.
And now that he has the opportunity to invest in Chu Xuan's business, Whiteside feels that this will definitely be a profit or a loss.
"Haha, Chu, I believe my decision today is definitely the wisest one. Maybe it won't be long before I can get a luxury car. With little stars in his eyes, Whiteside seemed to have foreseen his bright future.
Chu Xuan: "......"

The Lakers' training ground, the players are almost there. And in the midst of the crowd, there was a person who had not been seen for a long time, Steve Nash.
Nash suffered an injury in November and has been out for five weeks now. And today, he finally returned to the team for training after recovering from injury. This is also very good news for the Lakers.
However, for Chu Xuan, it is a question worth thinking about, that is, how to arrange the roles of Jeremy Lin, Jackson and Nash.
'In the next month, we are going to start to pick up the tempo on the pitch. This requires everyone to have good ball control. And today's training session is to conduct a concentrated ball control training for everyone. ”
When everyone gathered, Chu Xuan finally spoke.
"If you need any advice, just ask Steve, he hasn't been here for a long time, you have to trouble him."
Seeing Chu Xuan say this, the players immediately burst into laughter. Sometimes communicating more is also an extremely effective way to increase tacit understanding and friendship.
When Nash heard this, he also laughed: "Chu, this is not a problem at all. I think I'll mentor them well. ”
Under Chu Xuan's order, the Lakers' training session began today.
Nash has completely become a coach, and he goes out of his way to help his teammates over and over again, guiding them on what to think about and pay attention to when it comes to ball control.
And Chu Xuan listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but pick up the ball and play for a while.
Chu Xuan can be based on the UCLA Business School basketball team, and naturally he has his outstanding strengths.
As a yellow race, Chu Xuan's athletic ability was not very good at first. But after practicing martial arts for a few years, his physical fitness is still very good. It's not as good as some of the top black players, but it's top-notch.
In addition, Chu Xuan's advantage is in ball control, he has excellent ball control skills, which is the reason why he can gain a foothold in American college basketball.
"Wow, Chu, your basketball foundation is really good."
Nash's voice floated over.
Chu Xuan stopped dribbling and smiled, "Steve, as a young man, basketball is also a sport that I love very much. Although I haven't played much for so long, the feeling in my hand seems to be still there. ”
"Chu, your dribbling is really rhythmic, it's hard to practice. You must have been practicing for years, right? Nash asked.
Chu Xuan nodded slightly: "Since I was twelve or thirteen years old, I have been practicing dribbling, shooting, and body every day. It's been almost a decade now. ”
"Oh, your patience is really great. So you want to be a basketball player. But why did you choose to become a coach? It's boring work. ”
"My dream was the NBA, but I couldn't be an NBA player, so being a coach was a better option. At least I can stay in the team I love. ”
"Haha, that's why you chose the Lakers?"
"Yes, I love the Lakers, and I foresee it going downhill. So here I am, and I'm going to use my abilities to bring it back to the top. ”
While speaking, Chu Xuan looked at Nash and asked, "Steve, it is said that you are thinking about retirement?" ”
Nash smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Yes, my body tells me it's time to end this." But I'm still a little hesitant, I'm thinking about it. ”
"Steve, you have an unfulfilled wish, and you are still concerned. I advise you not to retire, I hope you can play for another year or two, and I am confident that you will have a championship ring and you leave without regrets. ”
A hint of surprise and surprise flashed in Nash's eyes, although under Chu Xuan's leadership, the Lakers' current situation is very good. However, it is not so easy to win the championship.
And now, Chu Xuan actually promised him to win the championship in 1-2 years. This really surprised him.
"Is this the confidence of young people?" Nash stared at Chu Xuan's eyes, smiling: "Okay, Chu, I'll think about it seriously." You did give me some hope that if my body allowed, I would sign another contract. ”
