I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 17
Nash was injured, and the injury happened at the moment of personnel running-in and coaching change at the beginning of the season. This not only cast a shadow on the future of the team, but also disrupted Zen Master's deployment.

Fortunately, as far as this game is concerned, Chu Xiao came up very well, because Kobe suggested to Zen Master that he hoped that Chu Xiao would continue to play as a substitute for Nash.Zen master observed each team member through training, and naturally knew Chu Xiao's ability, so he nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Chu Xiao also lived up to Kobe’s trust. As soon as he entered the field, he completed a pick-and-roll with Warcraft on the left side of the three-point line, and then dribbled the ball to the right side, attracting many people to defend, thus missing 45 degrees on the right side of the three-point line. Kobe Bryant.

Chu Xiao passed the ball, and the latter easily hit a three-pointer.

This kind of tactical cooperation has also become the norm in this game. Either Kobe scored openly, or Artest, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, made a shot... Under his scheduling, Kobe and Pau Gasol both hit 9 Although Warcraft Howard only made 5 shots, he scored 14 free throws and had a lot of offensive opportunities.

In this way, the Lakers beat the Kings 103-90, a very rare two-game winning streak, and the record came to 3 wins and 4 losses.

这场比赛，楚晓登场18分钟，3投2中，贡献了4分、2个篮板、12个助攻外加2次抢断的数据。

Compared with the increase in playing time, the media is more interested in his 12 assists, which shows a very good talent for "feeding cakes".During the game, Chu Xiao has been helping his teammates to score, such as pick-and-roll with the inside line at the three-point line, and then roll off after the pick-and-roll, a beautiful pass to the ground, and his teammates will dunk or shoot or layup after receiving the ball.

After the game, the "Los Angeles Times" even published on the headline of the sports section: "Nash is injured, Chu Xiao stood up. With 18 assists in 12 minutes, will he be the next passing master? "The article praised Chu Xiao as a seriously underestimated rookie. As a point guard, he has excellent grasp of the rhythm and the appearance of openings on the field. As long as it is possible to pass the ball, he will go out immediately. The ball, and the pass is particularly beautiful, and the receiver is quite comfortable.

Early the next morning, Han Suiyou, who saw the report, called Chu Xiao directly, "Chu Xiao, have you read the newspaper? Even the Los Angeles Times praised your performance last night, calling you a seriously underrated rookie." .”

"Haha, I read it." At that time, Chu Xiao was taking the subway to the training hall, so he whispered, "They are too exaggerated, they wrote such a big report, in fact, I am not as good as they said, There were still two pass errors last night, although it wasn't in the report, but I didn't sleep well the night I blamed myself."

"Hey, you are still like this. As long as there are mistakes in the game, you will think about it over and over again. You always think that it would be fine if you didn't do that. In fact, mistakes are inevitable. You really don't have to think about it all the time. Besides, this is the NBA after all. Ah, everyone is amazing, aren’t they?” Han casually asked Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao had no choice but to say over the phone, “Yes, yes, yes.”

"Chu Xiao?" Han casually asked for something.

"Huh? I'm listening." Chu Xiao replied.

"With this report and your performance last night, I think your next start is a certainty. I will go to the training hall later to see if Zen Master has arranged it like this. If so, I must tell you in advance. Oh, I want an exclusive report!" Han casually asked.

"Haha, you're here again. You can't do without a few words. Don't worry, if I can disclose it, I will tell you as soon as possible!" Chu Xiao readily agreed.

"Great! Sure enough, there are people in the DPRK who are good at handling things. Haha, thanks to you, I will soon have all the scoops for this month. I will treat you to dinner after receiving the bonus."

"We're still talking about this between the two of you, haven't you been helping me all the time!" Chu Xiao looked up and thought for a while and said, "It will be the 15th in two days, and I will treat you to dinner first when I receive my first salary from the NBA." !"

"That's right, you're going to be paid soon, and that's not a small sum." Han Xiangran thought to himself that this was much higher than his own bonus, so he agreed, "Then it's settled, I'll Wait for your news."

"Okay, 88!"

"88!"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiao also left the subway station, crossed the street and came to the gate of Toyota Center, took out a green card from his pocket and swiped it, the door opened and closed automatically.

Pushing open the door of the arena, the teammates have not yet arrived, and it is still the same as usual, and he is the first to arrive at the training hall (Kobe usually comes at 4 o'clock in the morning and then leaves at 7 o'clock, so don't worry about it. Calculate).Chu Xiao had gotten used to it, so he warmed up and shot on his own.

Since he first arrived in the United States, he did not receive a salary. Chu Xiao had no car and no house, so he rented a motel outside the city center because the price was relatively cheap, and it was relatively close to the Staples Center, and there were competition days. Don't worry about being late.

But in this way, it seems a lot farther to go to the Toyota Center, the team's training venue. Fortunately, there is a direct subway to get there, and it takes only two hours to get there.

All the teammates drove there. Only Chu Xiao took the subway, but he was the first to arrive. Often when he was sweating from training, his teammates arrived one after another.

For some reason, Zen Master, Kobe, Gasol, and World of Warcraft did not show up until the training time started this morning. Only Brian Shaw walked in with a tactical board and asked everyone to warm up before shooting, and then there was a confrontation in groups. Do strength training after rest.

Everyone is usually a little afraid of Kobe, mainly because he is too strict with his teammates.This time Kobe and others did not show up for training. Although no one asked, everyone seemed to relax a lot. During the warm-up and shooting, they kept laughing and talking a lot more than before, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

However, during the group confrontation, Chu Xiao was assigned to the starting group, and Artest led 3 substitutes against the other 5 substitutes. At this time, the atmosphere changed. Some people said that they would not do it. He was emotional first. Resisted, and then began to spray trash talk.

This person is the veteran Du Hong.

"I came to the Lakers to serve as a substitute for Nash. Now that Nash is injured, no matter what, I should be the starter instead of him. Why should Chu Xiao be arranged to start? And let me serve as a substitute for him? A 21st pick, only played 2 A rookie in a game? Who does he think he is?" Du Hong protested in front of Chu Xiao.

Du Hong does have the capital to protest. He was born in Mamo, Louisiana, USA. He is 1.85 meters tall. He was once hailed as the best point guard seedling in the 2000 high school class. He only squeezed into the NBA in the second round in 2001, which is a typical example of "hating too late" in the draft.But he once took the position of the main PG in the Bulls, and played against Arenas in the playoffs.Until the summer of 04, he was traded to the Lakers in the Warcraft Howard trade and was arranged as Nash's substitute.

At that time, some people thought that Nash was already 38 years old, but Du Hong was in his prime. Sooner or later, the starting point guard of the Lakers would be his. Even he thought so, but it never happened. A Chu Xiao appeared.
