Chapter 32: Green's Thanksgiving

"How's it going, Kobe? You're afraid you're going to lose this bet. ”

In the locker room, Chu Xuan grinned and looked at Kobe Bryant in a suit.

Kobe Bryant raised an eyebrow, "Man, it's just past halftime, and we're not sure to win." So, you need to wait until the end of the game to talk to me. At that time, I will definitely be convinced. ”

Although Kobe Bryant said this, his expression was full of lightness. Obviously, the firepower shown by the Lakers in this game is extremely satisfying for him.

Chu Xuan smiled: "You're right, I should have said it after the game was over." But, Kobe, you know, it's only a matter of time. In this game, I have the belief that I will win. And, believe that all people think so. ”

"Oh? If so, I'd really like to hear why you have to win this game? Are you doing my best to beat Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson? ”

Facing Kobe's joke, Chu Xuan smiled: "Yes, you can understand it that way." I know you want to see them shriveled, and as a friend, I have to help you. That way, you'll be able to rest in peace. ”

Kobe Bryant smiled: "Chu, your reason is really a bit ****, because I know you don't want me to play to do this." However, I would love to know if you used this argument to convince Paul. ”

As soon as Chu Xuan heard this, he knew that Kobe Bryant must have known about him chatting with Pau Gasol before the game.

"Yes, Paul was an emotional man. He always treats you so sincerely, and he also told me that he wants to accompany you through your career with the Lakers. ”

Kobe Bryant's expression moved slightly, obviously a little moved: "Okay, Chu, whether this is what Paul said or not, but I have to say that I have been moved." Paul is my brother and I love him. ”

Looking at Kobe's natural sincerity, Chu Xuan felt sorry in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the lamentable separation of Kobe and Gasol in his previous life, to Kobe's final gloomy retirement.

Well, Kobe. You've impressed me too, and if I have the chance, I'll let you guys stay together and play.

Chu Xuan was slightly distracted, and muttered silently in his heart.

*******

At halftime, the players are ready to return to the field.

Walking out of the locker room, Chu Xuan saw Draymond Green leaning against the wall.

"Hey man, what are you doing here? It's time to go to war. ”

When Green saw Chu Xuan, his face instantly became happy, and he took two steps forward and walked with Chu Xuan.

"I'm not waiting to go to war, as a soldier, I have to wait for the commander."

Originally, Chu Xuan thought that Green was waiting outside the locker room for something else, but now it seems that Green should be waiting for him.

"DG, are you waiting for me?"

Chu Xuan thought about it, but still felt that Green was looking for him. When he was with Kobe Bryant just now, this guy watched it a few times, but in the end he didn't dare to come forward to talk.

Obviously, in the eyes of these young people, Kobe Bryant is like a black mamba snake known as the god of Africa, which is really difficult to get along with.

So, a lot of the time, Kobe Bryant is still quite lonely in the team, and he has few friends.

Because, too many people will always stay away from him because of his character.

Hearing Chu Xuan ask him, Green's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just want to thank you." It's something I've wanted to do for a long time, but you're always busy, and it's hard for us to have a chance to talk. ”

Chu Xuan let out an "oh" and looked at Green in surprise, but then turned his head and continued to walk forward.

"Why thank me? If it's just a small thing, I don't think you need to do it. ”

Green moved the corners of his mouth, and his face looked extremely sincere: "Chu, I already know everything you have done. You were the one who brokered the deal and brought me here. It's also you who tell the coaches, let me play, give me playing time. Really, I'm very grateful. You have to understand the feelings of a man who sits on a cold bench all day, and you are the one who brought me out of that dark time. ”

Chu Xuan's eyes moved, and he already understood something in his heart. Regardless of whether Green is genuinely thanking him or not, I have to say that he is a thoughtful guy who knows how to behave.

"DG, you really don't need to be so grateful to me. You know, I traded you just because I thought you could help this Lakers team. ”

Green's face remained unchanged, and he still insisted: "Even then, I am still grateful to you." ”

Chu Xuan smiled: "Okay, DG." But what I want to say is that I'm just looking at strength. If you can't contribute, I'll probably trade you too. So, it's all just business, it's just about making the Lakers better. ”

Green nodded, "I know that, but my inner thoughts won't change. At the same time, I will work hard and I will take this opportunity. Thank you for being able to start me in this game, it means so much to me. ”

You know, Green can't play in the Warriors. Now that only a while has passed, he is facing the old master as a starter, and the high-spirited mood can be imagined.

Chu Xuan smiled: "Then fight hard, let the guys in Golden State understand how bad their vision is." ”

Green nodded heavily, his expression indignant, "I will." ”

********

In the noisy Staples Center, the Lakers and Warriors are in full swing.

The fans were a little emotional, and because of the home team's performance today, they had no reason not to be satisfied.

In particular, Hassan Whiteside, in the third quarter, he grabbed backcourt rebounds and scored hard. The scene of one enemy and several enemies and overturning the river and the sea is too brutal, so people can't help but watch it and carnival loudly.

In addition to Whiteside, Gasol continued to maintain a consistent performance, and he still suppressed David Lee and Bogut to keep the Lakers absolutely dominant.

After halftime, the Warriors began to find their groove on the offensive side. But the Warriors couldn't contain the Lakers' interior, so in the third quarter, the two sides played evenly matched.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still held a 20-point lead.

With such an absolute lead, the big picture of the game seems to be decided. However, a nervous situation appeared, Klay Thompson, who felt cold in the first three quarters, scored 22 points in the fourth quarter, and the unstoppable scoring scene made the Lakers coaching staff, including Chu Xuan, break out in a cold sweat.

However, fortunately, Phil Webber made timely adjustments, and Nash, Gasol, and Green scored key goals in a row to maintain a certain lead, and finally passed without danger.

The final score between the two sides was 125:110, and Gasol, who scored 30 points and 10 rebounds in the game, was elected the best player of the game. Whiteside had 16 points and 15 boards, and Nash had 11 points and 11 assists. For the Warriors, Thompson scored 34 points, and Curry, who returned from injury, contributed 16 points and 9 assists.
