PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
As the head coach, Chu Xuan has the responsibility to do the work of the players so that they can maintain the right mentality and full of motivation to approach the long season.
Whiteside lives with Chu Xuan, and this job is naturally very simple to do. After Whiteside adjusted, Chu Xuan talked to the rest of the Lakers on the way to Atlanta.
Needless to say, the veterans are naturally accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and their self-regulation ability is very strong.
And Chu Xuan's focus is on the team's young players.
It turned out that this heart-to-heart conversation had a very good effect on the mentality of the players. And Chu Xuan also understands that in the long season, although strength is important, the attitude of the players towards the game is also extremely crucial.
Chu Xuan's efforts were seen by everyone, and when he arrived in Atlanta, the Lakers who were fighting away seemed extremely active and imposing.
In the end, under a tough battle, the Lakers defeated the Hawks 98-73, making Chu Xuan's coaching record continue to maintain a complete victory.
In this game, Bryant contributed 33 points and 7 rebounds, bringing his career total rebounds to 6,677, thus surpassing Michael Jordan's 6,672 and ranking 118th on the all-time list.
The most important records in a player's career are nothing more than points, rebounds and assists. Now Kobe Bryant has surpassed Jordan in rebounding, and he has received a lot of praise immediately. And Kobe himself described it as "a great achievement, an incredible record." ”
In fact, Kobe's goal in life is Jordan, and many people may be talking about his ambition to surpass the perfect Jordan. But that's unfair, because you've never heard Kobe say he's going to surpass Jordan. So, this is just some people's imagination and rumors.
In Chu Xuan's understanding, Kobe Bryant has only set the highest benchmark for himself since he first stepped into the league, and that is Michael Jordan. And throughout his career, he has been working towards this benchmark and improving himself, and finally he can achieve today's achievements.
Chu Xuan feels that Kobe Bryant is a real person, and his life can resonate with many people, which is why he can gain so many fans.
In this regard, it is like a person who sets Bill Gates as the goal of his life, which is not wrong, but too many people question and ridicule it.
And the original Kobe Bryant is precisely this mentality. However, as the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. Slowly, this has become the capital used by some people to attack and ridicule Kobe.
It can only be said that this is unfair to Kobe, and the kind of people who make ridicule are also extremely sad. Because, for some things, you can't even think about it, how can you talk about success.
And now, Kobe Bryant surpasses Jordan in rebounding, which is also a strong proof of a truth.
Only with courage and hard work, even the highest peaks can be climbed.
Kobe's accomplishment was comforting, and he was so happy when he achieved that record.
I believe that at that moment, many people can understand his feelings, after all, he has been working hard for this record for almost 18 years.
After surpassing Jordan in rebounding records, among the three major events, Jordan only had points left to maintain the lead over Kobe.
However, this record obviously won't be held for long. Kobe Bryant is now less than 200 points away from Jordan's 32,292 points. Obviously, within 10 games, Bryant was able to set another record and surpass Jordan in scoring.
Time always flies, everything seems like yesterday, explosive head Kobe, No. 8 Kobe, hairy boy Kobe...... But in the blink of an eye, Kobe Bryant is already a 36-year-old veteran, although he is slowly refreshing his career achievements, but the increasingly incredible record is vaguely revealing a message, that is, Kobe Bryant is old. Just like the rising sun, it is now time for the sun to set.
Suddenly, the sense of cherishing is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone can't help but feel a little nostalgic, hoping that time can pass slowly.
……
However, nothing can stand in the way of time, and everything will continue eventually.
Returning from Atlanta in the early morning of the 17th, the Lakers players immediately plunged into intense preparations after a brief break. Because in the evening, they still have a game to play.
Back-to-back games are always hard to pull off, and it's a big test of a team's youth and squad depth.
For the Lakers, back-to-back games are a very big challenge, especially now facing the Memphis Grizzlies, who are known for their defense, and the Lakers really have little chance of winning.
However, Chu Xuan didn't want to give up this game, and at noon that day, when the players all went to rest, he was still studying the Grizzlies' tactics and everyone's technical characteristics.
Subsequently, in the afternoon of the same day, Chu Xuan gave the Lakers players a simple training session and explained to everyone what they need to pay attention to when aligning.
In terms of tactical arrangement, Chu Xuan focused on the inside line. Although the Grizzly Bear's inner line seems to be very strong, Chu Xuan believes that under the absolute height and sufficient confrontation intensity, the Grizzly Bear's current inner line is flashy and has a big breakthrough.
Besides, Kobe Bryant was tired from playing the Hawks in the last game, so the Lakers' outside firepower is not guaranteed.
Therefore, arranging the tactics of attacking the inside line is extremely correct.
Of course, it is not enough to rely on arrangement, if you want to win, the most important thing is the execution of the players.
What made Chu Xuan feel relieved and ecstatic was that the Lakers finished blowing up the Grizzlies' interior and finally won 108:103, thus extending the winning streak to 5 games.
The biggest star of the game was Hassan Whiteside, who came off the bench and scored another double-double. It's just that this time the pair is more brutal than the one a few days ago.
Whiteside played only 19 minutes, but contributed 19 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks. is so efficient that people can't help but sigh at his perversion.
In addition to Whiteside, Gasol, who has just completed a contract extension, has completed 20+10 back-to-back, which makes it clear that the Lakers have made the most cost-effective contract extension.
Against the Grizzlies, facing the interior line composed of his younger brothers Mark Gasol and Randolph, Gasol slashed 26 points and 10 boards, and made a powerful response to the outside world's doubts about his strength.
The five-game winning streak came so suddenly that Lakers management was ecstatic.
You must know that since Nash's absence, the Lakers' record has begun to decline slowly, and Phil Webber is at a loss. But now, Chu Xuan is in the position, but he has magically led the team to win all four games, which is really surprising and shocking.
Kupček held a special meeting to praise everyone and gave a certain amount of bonuses to the coach and the players.
On the evening of the end of the game, Kupchak had a conversation with Chu Xuan, and he was extremely sure and recognized Chu Xuan's work.
But the content of their conversation did not circulate.
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
