I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 575 The Eve of the Christmas War
In the morning, Xu Xuan stretched his body lazily in silk pajamas.

Beside him, Lin Yun, who was wearing the same style of pajamas, pursed his lips slightly, holding a headband in his mouth, and looking in the mirror, arranging his long black hair that countless women envied.

Xu Xuan looked at her beautiful and sexy back, couldn't help but walked over, hugged her from behind, and stretched his palms dishonestly through the neckline.

"Do you still need to take care of your hair?" Xu Xuan asked, "You are already such a beautiful little fairy."

Lin Yun turned around and gave him a blank look: "Of course, every woman hopes that she can look beautiful with her own attire. Make-up and hair care are a process of enjoyment."

Xu Xuan shrugged, expressing that he did not understand.

They got up early today, packed up and went out.

Christmas is a lively festival in the United States, and it is valued by Americans just like the Chinese people treat the Spring Festival.From the day after Thanksgiving, Americans start planning for Christmas.

Xu Xuan and Lin Yun are not Americans, but they are not the out of place type. They do as the Romans do. Even if there is a game the next day, Xu Xuan accompanied Lin Yun to the supermarket to buy some dishes for the Christmas dinner in the morning.

"Turkey, here's a turkey."

"One? Is one enough?"

"Enough is enough. The turkey is huge, not to mention there are many side dishes. Who only eats chicken."

"By the way, give me some roses, walnuts, and cinnamon. How much is it?"

"And potatoes, chestnuts, sweet potatoes, kale, carrots, corn."

Xu Xuan and Lin Yun cooperated tacitly. In the supermarket, Lin Yun was in charge of searching, and Xu Xuan was in charge of pushing the cart. From time to time, fans who knew Xu Xuan would come over to say hello to him.

These fans are quite sensible, enthusiastic and did not disturb Xu Xuan's shopping experience at the same time, let alone the kind who would not let him go. Xu Xuan did not refuse the signatures, but after signing for them, Xu Xuan put his index finger on his lips and hissed to signal them not to make publicity.

Signing is earning, only fools will make public. The fans all left with smiles on their faces.

Lin Yu wore big sunglasses and turned aside the people around him: "Are you so famous now? Go to a supermarket, so many people know you."

"It doesn't matter whether you are famous or not. The most important thing is that I am handsome. Even if everyone knows Charles, they will not come to him. There is no need." Xu Xuan also helped the large sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. He proudly said that the sunglasses he was wearing today were enough to cover half of his face, but there were still many people who could recognize him.

"Well, you are really handsome today." Lin Yun glanced up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "How about it, let me dress you up and make you handsome."

"I am naturally beautiful, and I have a relationship with you. I am handsome, even if I don't wear clothes, I should still be handsome." Xu Xuan poked her nose at her statement.

"Handsome without clothes?" Lin Yun narrowed his eyes: "Why do you have this idea? Has anyone seen it? And commented?"

Xu Xuan's face froze, he couldn't feel complacent, ".I just said it casually, but the rhetorical technique is a bit exaggerated."

"Rhetorical tricks? No one has really seen it? Then why are you so confident?"

"What the hell, who would take off their clothes and be judged by others? I'm not short of money"

"Then why do you say that?"

"It's a rhetorical trick"

After finally getting this matter out of the way, Xu Xuan wiped the sweat off his brow, it's like playing outdoors at 40 degrees in winter.
"By the way, who are you hitting today? The Clippers?" Lin Yun asked curiously.

"It's the Clippers, that's right. This may be the most problem-free decision Joke has ever made in his life. At least this year's Christmas War will not let me float in the sky." Xu Xuan shrugged, picked up a purple eggplant, He made a gesture, then let it go in satisfaction, looking forward to brilliance.

Lin Yun didn't understand at first, but he understood immediately, and gave him a blank look. This guy was comparing eggplants with his own.

How boring!

What is there to compare to?

Even if the eggplant is big, what's the use?One is hot and the other is not, the difference is huge. Besides, Xu Xuan's seems to be bigger than this?
Ah bah bah bah!I was wondering where I was going. Lin Yun pouted.

Everyone wants to spend Christmas with their family. If possible, no one wants to play games on Christmas.

Then the next question is, no one wants to play an away game in the Christmas game. It’s too painful. It’s fine to play the game on Christmas, and you still have to fly, or twice.
No one wants to sit!

NBA players don't like to fly, so in many cities that are close to each other, they would rather take a bus than fly.

And the Christmas war is even more so, who doesn't want to be with their family.

But this time, although the Lakers have a Christmas game, they are at home. Even if they are away, it doesn't matter, because their opponent in this year's Christmas game is the Los Angeles Clippers.

Home, away. It doesn't matter.

The most important thing is that there is no need to fly or float in the sky, otherwise Xu Xuan would not have the time to accompany Lin Yun to prepare the dishes for the Christmas dinner.

We're all on our way now.

"That's true.

Lin Yun also agreed with this, and said, she patted Xu Xuan on the shoulder, and said with great interest: "By the way, this is the first time for the two of us to celebrate Christmas officially? Have you prepared any presents yet?"

"certainly."

"what?"

"How about a sweet kiss? I didn't brush my teeth today, so I specially prepared it for you."

"Bah! You're disgusting! Get lost!"

After shopping for groceries with Lin Yun, the two went to the restaurant to eat a steak, sent Lin Yun home, and Xu Xuan went to the arena.

Although Frank said that they would gather at three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xuan was still used to arriving early.

"Hey Xu, Merry Christmas!"

As soon as Xu Xuan walked in, Los, who was in charge of equipment management, came over and opened his hands happily towards Xu Xuan.

Rose is responsible for ordering, organizing, preparing, cleaning and maintaining all equipment for all 15 players on the Lakers team, as well as equipment worn by the coaches and peripheral support personnel.

Xu Xuan didn't know when he came, but he could see that everyone's sneakers, socks, and jerseys had been prepared, and they were all in place.

"Hey, Merry Christmas, Ross." Xu Xuan hugged him, and took a box from the assistant behind him, "Christmas gift for you, buddy, open it and have a look."

"Oh, thank you. God, this is the latest Rolex? God, this is also marked with my name? Falk! It's so beautiful, how much is this worth?" Americans have the habit of opening presents on the spot, which means Respecting the gift giver, as soon as Los opened it, he couldn't help covering his mouth and nose and exclaiming when he saw what was inside, his face was full of surprise.

"The latest Rolex? Falke, this watch is really beautiful!"

"I heard that this is a watch specially made by Rolex for successful people, and it is not available for ordinary people."

"Loss, congratulations buddy, you are now a successful person."

There were quite a few staff present, and they were all envious when they saw that Ross got this Christmas gift.

Not to mention anything else, if this watch is sold, it will cost at least 10 US dollars!
But, no fool would sell this.
"Don't worry, don't worry, you all have presents." Seeing this, Xu Xuan clapped his hands and motioned for the assistant to push the box behind him.

If you want to buy a gift, you can’t just buy one person. For all the staff of the Lakers, Xu Xuan has prepared gifts for them, but not everyone has a Rolex watch like Ross. $1.

"Hey, Xu, you made a big deal today." After a while, all the Lakers players arrived, and they all exclaimed when they opened Xu Xuan's gift box.

For these teammates, in addition to the watches marked with their names like Ross, each of them also had a custom-made suit. This small Christmas, Xu Xuan gave away 200 million US dollars!

Definitely a big deal!

"Take it apart and try to see if it fits well. Today we are all masters of suits, the Los Angeles supermodel group!!" Xu Xuan waved his hand, and "Number One Dogleg" Ingram immediately ran to Xu Xuan's side : "How about it, boss, am I handsome?"

Xu Xuan took a look. NBA players don't say how they look, but their bodies are absolutely OK. They are all standard supermodel figures. I guess it's okay
"Great, buddy, you will definitely get a lot of girls' favor when you go out wearing this outfit today." Xu Xuan straightened the edge of the suit jacket for him, "I think today will be the most handsome day in your life."

"Boss, I want it too!"

"And I!"

Seeing Xu Xuan arranging Ingram's suit, the others were also jealous and shouted.

Xu Xuan covered his forehead speechlessly: "Roll, I don't have so many hands."

Everyone was laughing and joking. The Christmas game is considered an important schedule in the regular season, but it is still mostly of a performance nature, so everyone is very relaxed.

Frank smiled, and immediately opened the materials in front of him. He is different from the players, and as the head coach, he has to hurry up to make up lessons.

Naturally, Xu Xuan also gave him a gift, but instead of a watch and a suit, he directly gave him a coach car. This is the first time I heard of it, but Frank is very happy. His salary is not low, but It is obviously impossible to give out millions of gifts like Xu Xuan.

It is impossible for the bosses of other teams, such as Lillard and Thomas Jr., to give such expensive gifts to teammates casually. The main reason is that Xu Xuan is really rich if he is rich.

As for the Xuanyun Group, as far as Frank knows so far, it has covered sports, economy, culture, tourism, catering, manufacturing and other fields, and is already a mature listed company.

In Xuanyun Group, Xu Xuan personally holds 30% of the shares and does not participate in the execution but reserves the right to participate in the execution. Lin Yun personally holds 30% of the shares and is in charge of the execution.

As far as the current market value of Xuanyun Group is conservatively estimated to have reached more than 1000 billion, that is to say, Xu Xuan is now a person with a net worth of 300 billion. It's not even close.

So Xu Xuan is really not short of money
But how should I put it, maybe playing basketball was for making money at the beginning, but later it was really a hobby. Otherwise, with such a lot of money, Xu Xuan would not be able to spend so much money at home and wait to die for the rest of his life.

"How is it, is it tricky?" Xu Xuan walked to Frank with a smile.

"It's okay, we won even the most difficult ones." Frank smiled.

"Is the gift okay?"

"Great guy, my daughter is clamoring to drive my Audi. I was reluctant before, but now I think my Audi should be retired." Flack said humorously.

The two chatted for a while, before turning their attention to work.

The Lakers and Clippers are teams in the same city and the same arena, and naturally they are also in the same division. They both belong to the Western Pacific Division.

Teams in the same division generally play four games a season.

It has been two months since the season started, and the Lakers and Clippers have only played this first game. Obviously, the league is trying to add some gimmicks to this Christmas game.

The Clippers really had too many injuries last season. Griffin was injured and rested for a long time in the regular season. He was injured again after playing for a while in the playoffs. Sao Paulo was exhausted in the regular season. Finally hurt, Paul and Griffin will become free agents next season, the Clippers really can't afford to be injured.

For many fans, every time the Clippers are mentioned, there is an inexplicable sadness. They have never won a championship in history. Although they are in the big city of Los Angeles, they have always been suppressed by the big brother of the Lakers. The popularity is much worse than that of the Lakers. For many years, the sense of presence has been ignored.

It wasn't until the arrival of Sao Paulo and the addition of the boss of Microsoft that this team was rejuvenated, coupled with the poor record of the Lakers in recent years.The Clippers have raised their heads that have been low for years.

It's a pity that although the record has improved, it seems that the championship is still far behind. All the reasons are attributed to the Rockets' 3-1 lead that year, and then they were overturned.Since then, the Clippers have been in a slump. Last season, they played against strong teams, and their winning percentage was dismal.

I cannon: Maybe I was only short of a hamstring from the championship.
This summer, after the Clippers entered and exited a few times, their strength did not change much. They basically relied on starting games. The team did not find a reliable substitute for Paul. Felton should not meet the requirements. The prince is a shooting guard. So when other teams play against the Clippers, just strangle Paul.The prospect is worrisome, and the other thing is that Bai Ade is gone inside, and one is missing to protect the basket. Just relying on Jordan is too tiring.

However, since this season, the Clippers have a good record. As of now, they have 22 wins and 9 losses. The record in the opening stage is second only to the Lakers, and even better than the Warriors and Spurs, but they are gradually caught up by others. It can also be ranked in the top five in the West.
