Under the shouts of the live DJ, the competition finally kicked off.

The starting lineups of both sides came on the field one after another, and Chu Xuan, as the head coach, also became plain, and his eyes were extremely focused on the field.

When the game started and the players appeared, the focus of the scene began to slowly shift away from Chu Xuan, which made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, he is too young, and today's attention to this intensity really makes him unable to calm down. All eyes were on him, which made him uncomfortable.

However, at this time, when the game started and the fans' attention was shifted, Chu Xuan suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Players stand around the centre circle, and the starting line-ups for both sides appear on the big screen.

Lakers:

Point Guard: Jeremy Lin.

Quarterback: Kobe.

Small forward: Draymond Green.

Power forward: Gasol.

Center: Knoll.

Thunder:

Point Guard: Westbrook.

Quarterback: Saflosa.

Small forward: Durant.

Power forward: Serge Ibaka.

Center: Perkins.

Perkins and Knoll stood together, and the difference in size between the two was revealed. Compared to Perkins, who is as strong as a bison, Knoll is as thin as a bamboo pole, and people can't help but worry about his safety.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but sigh, the problem of Noor's body being too thin was something he had been thinking about. Because, judging from the alignment of Noll and other centers in the league during this time, the impact and disadvantages brought to him by being too thin are too great.

As the person in charge of the Lakers' cultivation of interior players, Chu Xuan certainly has a weight gain plan for Noll. However, judging from the current situation, the effect is not very good. Knoll's thin body is still a hole in the Lakers' center position.

In fact, Chu Xuan once wanted Whiteside to start instead of Noll. However, for fear that Noor's self-confidence would be hit, Chu Xuan never did so.

Of course, that's not to say that Knoll is inferior to Whiteside. Speaking of which, Noll has more potential than Whiteside.

In Chu Xuan's opinion, even if he is not physically strong enough, he can become the second Mutombo and become the interior star at the level of the best defensive player.

And if he can gain weight successfully, it can only be described as an immeasurable future.

Therefore, it can be said that Chu Xuan's hope for Noel is the greatest.

With the referee's whistle blaring, Knoll showed his super athleticism during the jump ball, easily beating Perkins and winning the ball for the Lakers.

After Jeremy Lin, who wore the No. 7 shirt, got the ball, he began to control the rhythm of the court very steadily.

His opponent, Westbrook, looked extremely excited, and there was a bloodthirsty and brutal look in his eyes as he stared at Jeremy Lin. This makes one wonder if Westbrook's desire to perform in this game will be very high.

In the first round between the two, Jeremy Lin did not collide with Westbrook, but passed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who was ready to play.

Bryant faced Saflosa and opted for a pull-up jump shot after a breakaway.

It's a slight pity that Bryant's shot didn't hit this time.

Obviously, he still needs to find form.

And Chu Xuan didn't have any expression or reaction, and the whole person seemed extremely patient.

on the field.

Seeing that the rebound was accepted by Ibaka, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but shake his head and retreat, expressing his dissatisfaction with the shot.

"Russell, I bet you won't be able to score." Kobe Bryant saw Westbrook advancing quickly with the ball, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile.

Westbrook looked at Kobe Bryant coldly and ignored him, as if he felt disdain for Kobe's little tricks.

After a pass, Durant received the ball, singled out Green, and made a mid-range jumper.

It was almost the same action as Kobe, but Durant threw the ball in.

“MVP，，MVP！”

The crowd cheered for Durant.

Seeing Durant and Westbrook celebrating together, Chu Xuan shook his head slightly. For this first shot, Westbrook handed the ball to Durant, which undoubtedly showed Durant's identity as the boss.

It can only be said that Westbrook is still willing to be Durant's green leaf, but how long can this good situation last?

Chu Xuan's thoughts were tumbling in his heart, and his eyes were a little subtle when he looked at the two of them.

"Russell, Kevin is a really good player, he does what a leader should do." Kobe Bryant's eyes burned, and he chuckled and spoke again.

This was the task that Chu Xuan had assigned to him, he wanted to provoke Westbrook's emotions and make him lose his reason. In that case, his connection with Durant will be greatly weakened, and it may become a separate scene.

Westbrook simply didn't look at Kobe Bryant this time, his expression was even more disdainful, and there was a faint sense of arrogance.

Seeing that Westbrook didn't take the move, Kobe Bryant stopped talking and focused on offense.

Once again, it was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Jeremy Lin still did not choose to attack individually, and was still trying to connect the team.

Obviously, after all, he has just joined the Lakers, and if he can't play a good game safely, then there will definitely be no less ridicule and doubts outside.

Westbrook is aggressive defensively and always feels confident against any defender.

Although Jeremy Lin's physical fitness is considered to be the top among the yellow race, compared to Westbrook, there is no advantage.

However, according to their pre-match tactical requirements, he had to try to break through Westbrook.

Ignoring Westbrook's murderous gaze, Jeremy Lin forced Westbrook and then found the right moment to distribute the ball to Green, who was ambushed in the bottom corner.

Green receives the ball and plugs inside without any pause.

Green's pass was eye-catching, but what made the match look imperfect was that Knoll couldn't get the ball under the basket.

Thunder fans are happy, but the Lakers, on the other hand, are full of regrets.

I have to say that this ball was passed very well, and Knoll was almost in a defenseless state when he received the ball. The bad part was that he seemed a little impatient and couldn't score in the end.

Chu Xuan looked at Ibaka, who was just a step away from Noll, and seemed to understand the reason why Noel couldn't score this goal. Obviously, the deterrence of the king of blocks cannot be ignored.

The Thunder got the ball, quickly switched from defense to offense, and in the blink of an eye, Durant hit a three-point shot on a fast break.

With two goals in a row, the Thunder's momentum is fully up. Durant's hand is obviously very good, which makes Chu Xuan understand that today's game will definitely not be easy to play.

As the star of the Thunder, Durant has scored continuously for the Thunder, and as the boss of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is certainly not far behind. After turning back, he singled Westbrook and made his signature step-back jumper.

"See? Russell, you look bloodless today, are you going to be Kevin's caddy all the time? Kobe Bryant smiled coldly, his eyes sharp.
