The strongest basket king

Chapter 52 Public Training
Lost, there is no suspense in the fourth quarter, the Lakers really realized that they are no longer the top team in the league.

In the first half of the season, the Lakers didn't play a few times against the top-ranked teams in the West. They will work harder in the second half of the season. If there is no change, their current ranking may not be able to keep.

After the game, Kobe reiterated his dissatisfaction with general manager Kupchak, saying that the Lakers general manager should have a clear attitude in dealing with the Gasol trade.

"As you can see, we're still figuring out how to play together, trying to figure out the tactical execution. It's going to take a lot of time, especially in this season where we don't have much of a day-to-day game." Even more so in training.”

He also appreciated the performance of the Thunder, "They performed very well in the game. Once they seized the opportunity, they could immediately use it. It was like adding a spring pad when taking off, which caused us to fail Get the score back."

But behind Kobe's face trying to maintain his demeanor, it must be very uncomfortable.

And Thunder core Durant just downplayed this victory, "For us, this is just a regular season. Of course, we respect them, after all, they have won the championship several times, but for us, this is just a certain game That's it, you just have to try to get better every day and that's it."

It is always sad that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Kobe should not have been shot to death on the beach, but the Lakers are in urgent need of change.

Next is the All-Star Weekend. With such a dense schedule, the players are not only physically fatigued, but also mentally stressed. In the past few days, everyone will take a good rest.

The Lakers each have their own schedules, some accompany their families, and some go to relax together. Xiang Chu, Kobe, and Bynum will all go to Orlando, but they did not choose to go together.

Xiang Chu asked Jim Smith to book a plane ticket for his family, and the whole family went to Orlando for a few days together.

Bynum is not the rookie at the beginning, he definitely doesn't want to stay with Kobe, he needs to have fun.

Xiang Chu's family came to Orlando on the afternoon of the 24th. It has been a long time since the four of them went out to play together. The last time was a road trip in middle school.

"Xiang Chu, you must know where the fun is. It is said that there are some special points in your player circle. There are many hot girls, right?"

As soon as he was settled in the hotel, Alexander secretly looked for Xiang Chu.

Xiang Chu gave a big face, "Where is there a hot girl, you, Master Alexander, still can't find it. I have a public training at night, why don't you take your parents to find a hot girl and have fun under your skin."

"You are cruel."

Alexander immediately changed the target of the attack. He planned to go to the nightclub alone. He had to persuade Xiang Jianzhong and his wife to act separately. He prepared several plans.

Xiang Chu is too lazy to care about this stuff, you have reserved a restaurant, and you can taste delicious food when you go shopping with your family later.

In the evening rookie game public training, Xiang Chu went early.

It is his code of conduct to be low-key and high-key, and there seems to be something wrong.

It is very important to meet with teammates and coaches in advance, especially the two coaches. After all, he has many enemies among rookies.

O'Neal was coached by Thunder assistant Ron Adams and O'Neal's TV colleague Steve Kerr.

The job of the coach in the All-Star game is actually not much, it is more for the players to show off, but it is definitely right to say hello in advance, Xiang Chu wants to have more opportunities.

Xiang Chu wasn't the only one who came to say hello. People like Griffin who were going to play in the All-Star Game came to say hello and said they didn't want to play more, but more simply to get to know the coach.

Ron Adams was older and more serious, while Steve Kerr chatted with Xiang Chu.

"Shaquille and I talked about you before, you have what it takes to be a center, the rest can be learned through training, you have to be patient. Given a big man like you, I would definitely want to actually coach a team. team."

On the training ground, the two-time elite players were very relaxed.

Xiang Chu walked over quickly and greeted loudly, "Hello, everyone, take care of me for tomorrow's game."

Xiang Chu immediately felt a few angry eyes cast over him. In fact, the main ones were Markieff Morris and Tristan Thompson.

"It's only now that I give up. It's too late. Watch me blow you up tomorrow."

"Blow me up, is our team infighting? This is big news."

After a few words, everyone was laughing. After all, those who were abused the most did not have a chance to come, and everyone did not have any real conflict of interest. Xiang Chu gave a step, and no one would care too much about it.

Xiang Chu was about to have a private chat with Jeremy Lin, but found that Griffin was pulling him to talk.

"There's no need to work too hard, it's just for show, the main thing is to enjoy the fun of the All-Star Weekend."

Shit, I didn't expect that Griffin, who has big eyebrows and big eyes, just doesn't want to play, and even pushes Jeremy Lin.

When they finished speaking, Xiang Chu pulled Jeremy Lin aside.

"Lin, don't listen to that guy. He still has the All-Star Game to play. We only have the Rookie Challenge. We have to perform well. The constant bombardment by the media may feel bad, but this is also an opportunity. A rare opportunity."

"I know, but I really can't adapt to so much attention. In fact, I am very grateful to Blake for giving me advice. I have played three games in a row, and I don't want to play another back-to-back game." Jeremy Lin is very sincere explained.

"Of course, I am also very grateful for your advice, but I plan to make adjustments in the past few days. I value the Knicks' game more. Don't worry, I will definitely support you when I am on the court."

When Jeremy Lin mentioned this, Xiang Chu couldn't continue to persuade him. Jeremy Lin's situation is indeed different from him. He can now be said to be half of the Knicks' leader.

But in fact, the media attention will bring Jeremy Lin both money and opportunities on the court, as long as he withstands the pressure.

For example, Griffin suffered so much media bombardment last season. There must have been troubles, but he gained more and his status in the league has improved a lot.

Athletes' strength is fundamental and everything that supports them, but fame is not a bad thing either.

Jeremy Lin went to greet the coach, and Xiang Chu also looked at other people, such as Rubio and Kemba Walker.

These two are masters in assists, Jeremy Lin doesn't want to play more, they will definitely get more opportunities.

Kemba Walker is an old acquaintance, and he didn't refuse the proposal. In fact, most rookies want to have a chance to perform and win. What they don't want to fight is to stand and talk without back pain.

Rubio was also very refreshing, "How about, let's connect with each other on social media now."
