Chapter 300: Provocation Popovich

"Chu, why do you feel that you are under a lot of pressure? I've rarely seen you take it that seriously. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Peyton was a little curious, sat next to Chu Xuan and said.

At this time, they were on the Lakers' bus to the AT&T Center, and today is January 3rd, the second game of the 2015 Lakers.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly: "The opponent deserves our attention, and the Spurs have always been a very strong team. ”

A hint of contempt flashed in Payton's eyes: "We are much better than them, I think we will definitely win easily today." So Chu, I don't think you really have to be so stressed. ”

Seeing Peyton swearing, Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly in his heart.

After these days together, he already has a deep understanding of Payton. This guy's defensive mind is really good, and the Lakers have really strengthened their defense under his training.

However, this guy is too arrogant in his bones, and it seems that there is no team in the world that can threaten the Lakers. This may be the reason for his status as a Hall of Famer player, after all, he was so high in his playing days that he couldn't help but look at the top.

In this regard, Payton is definitely inferior to Nash.

Nash is a very composed and calm player, he has the same mentality for any team, and he is able to approach every minute of the 48 minutes with the same coaching attitude, without any change due to garbage time or weak opponents.

This is the reason why Chu Xuan is very optimistic about Nash.

In Chu Xuan's view, Nash is perfectly suited as a head coach, while Payton may be more suitable to give advice and serve as the right-hand man of a championship coach.

"Gary, so what are the advantages of us compared to the Spurs?" Chu Xuan said with a smile.

'Obviously, we have very good players in every position. Norris is on his way to becoming one of the best players in the league, and Hassan's protection of the box has kept us unbeatable. In addition, Bryant's strategizing completely allowed us to play a very big team advantage.

Compared to the Spurs, we have an absolute advantage in rebounding, which will give us the advantage to win. ”

Payton makes a lot of sense, after all, against a team like the Spurs, if you can't guarantee a rebounding advantage, then you can't talk about winning.

However, Payton clearly took the Spurs too simply.

Chu Xuan smiled: "We do have our advantage, but the opponent's advantage is equally obvious, they have the best wing defense in the league, and their players are very, very good. What's more, they are very patient in their offense and defense every round. Sometimes, even if we have the rebounding advantage, they are likely to beat us with the success rate of the offense. ”

Payton was stunned, he didn't expect the Spurs to have such a big weight in Chu Xuan's heart. Because from the two or three months of getting along, even the Cleveland Cavaliers did not let Chu Xuan show such a side.

"Of course, I'm just expressing how terrible the Spurs are as a team. However, this is not to say that we are no match for them. As long as we are well prepared and do a good job in each round, then the victory will be ours after all. ”

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, full of amazement.

**********

The bus traveled for about twenty minutes, and with the chaotic sound outside, the destination of the Lakers' trip was reached.

At the AT&T Center, outside the home stadium of the Spurs, a huge crowd of fans is gathering.

Most of the fans here are wearing Spurs jerseys, but there are also some fans wearing Lakers jerseys.

"Wow, the atmosphere is great, and I have a hunch that today is going to be a big challenge." Knorr's soft sigh was heard.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, the home of the Spurs has not been easy to play in the GDP era.

"Little one, today you are playing against the best power forward in history, and this is your chance to learn and express yourself." Bryant smiled.

With the Lakers, Noll is definitely the No. 2 star, and his performance has earned the respect of all the players. However, on the Lakers, there is still one person who always calls him "little guy", and that is Kobe Bryant.

Knorr was used to it, and he didn't feel bad about it.

You must know that he has been able to grow to this level, and veterans such as Kobe and Gasol have contributed a lot. Knoll treats them with respect from the bottom of his heart.

And Kobe Bryant called him a little guy, in Knoll's view, it was a kind of intimacy, and it was Kobe's recognition of him.

"Kobe, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Tim is someone I studied with, but I had the confidence to beat him. ”

Kobe Bryant smiled and kept nodding, these young people of the Lakers brought too much confidence and vitality. This keeps them always going further and further on the road to victory.

"Greg, you seem to be a little unhappy."

Chu Xuan and Popovich met.

Hearing Chu Xuan's brainless words, Popovich couldn't help but be confused.

"Sometimes there's nothing wrong with giving in to failure, at least it makes you less stressed and more relaxed."

Chu Xuan had a kind smile on his face.

He was teasing Popovich, trying to get a little bit of a bargain on his tongue.

However, Zhuge Bobo didn't even blink his eyelids, and his expression was like a pool of stagnant water.

"Little boys' fantasies are always beautiful, but you have to grow up first."

Popovich replied lightly.

Grow up? The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth moved, and this Popovich was obviously fighting back that he was as young and frivolous as a child, and he couldn't recognize himself clearly.

"Hey, Greg, I'm going to win today." Chu Xuan grinned: "If you can, I think we can take a gamble." ”

Popovich was expressionless, and directly shook his head and refused: "I'm not interested in betting with children." ”

Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was wrong to find this guy to "chat".

Now the situation seems to have no effect on Popovich, but he is starting to feel a little flustered.

However, Chu Xuan still behaved quite relaxed and calm on the surface: "Then you must be worried that you are not as good as a child." Greg, you can rest assured, I will definitely not win all your pension money. ”

Popovich raised his eyebrows, this little guy is provoking him with a purpose today.

Looking at Popovich's reaction, Chu Xuan smiled: "I mean the loser wants to enjoy a good meal, such a good thing, aren't you interested?" After all, it allows you to eat a free dinner. ”

Popovich's eyelids twitched: "For your nourishment, I think I can treat you to this dinner." Say, how to play? ”

Chu Xuan smiled: "Three cheesecakes, you have to eat them alone." ”

After a pause, Chu Xuan said badly: "Of course, you need to be prepared for diarrhea or indigestion......" (To be continued.) )
