Chapter 72
"It's just a weak team. He has never proved himself in a strong confrontation."
"Have you changed the attack method again?" Xiang Chu just smiled knowingly when he saw the comments online.
It is not easy for black guys. The stronger the players, the more difficult it is to find black spots. Xiang Chu is performing better and better now, and more and more people support him.
"Hehe, I've built a fan organization for you at the school. You have to count your words."
Olivia sent another message. After she returned to Canada, she did not let go of social media. She seemed to be becoming more and more active. She often saw this guy posting delicious food and writing soft articles on it.
Xiang Chu asked Jim Smith about the market situation. Olivia could make money, but it would be too late to make a few hundred dollars in publicity fees at her level.
If Xiang Chu thought, he could also make money on social media, but he couldn't make a fortune in doing this. He had greater commercial value. He just needed to occasionally promote the brand he endorsed.
There are players in Canada who play in the league, so it is not so easy for Xiang Chu to develop fans there. Olivia's so-called fan organization is a bit tricky. Many of them are Chinese students. They were Xiang Chu's fans before, and she just organized them.
Of course, Xiang Chu would not care about this with the girl. The previous chat was originally a joke. Olivia did nothing, and she would treat him to a big meal if she had the chance in the future.
The team has confirmed that Xiang Chu will start in the home game against the Nets at No. 3.
The Nets have no hope this season, but they are still active. They traded Gerald Wallace in the middle of the season to prepare for next season.
The Nets have also been plagued by injuries this season, especially in the inside.
Main center Brooke Lopez is reimbursed for the season, and Memit Oku, who has traded in the summer, has also encountered the same fate. Now their starting center has become the unknown French player Johan Petro.
The opponent is still weak when he has the chance to start, and Xiang Chu thinks he is really lucky.
Kobe's mid-range shot kicked off the game. Xiang Chu only got the chance in three minutes. He stepped on the area triggered by the skill with one foot. He pulled it up when he received the ball and smashed the basketball hard into the basket.
The Nets' two strong points, Deron Williams, were not in good shape and the Lakers established a 10-point lead in one wave.
Until the rotation period, Xiang Chu's appearance time changed and there was really no one on the Lakers' substitute.
Nets' substitute Gerald Green felt hot, and his continuous hits helped the Nets catch up with the score.
However, after the Lakers' main players came on the court, the score gap came back to double digits.
Even if Bynum doesn't play, the Lakers' inside line will be stronger, especially in terms of rebounds, which can crush most teams in the league. In this case, as long as Kobe feels normal, it is really easy to lead.
In terms of stronger performance, the Lakers are also the top team in the league.
The biggest problem is that they have not become the top player this season is that they do not have the good sixth man.
Now Xiang Chu can be said to have made up for this problem. The gap between them and the top teams in the league is not much. It only takes a little luck. They may not be able to reach the top this season.
This season is quite hasty, and by this time many teams have given up.
When the Lakers meet teams like the Nets, they are generally very stable.
However, even if the opponent gives up this season, the athletes will decide what they do on the field. They must do their own things so that they will not capsize in the gutter.
With a lead of more than ten points into the halftime break, Mike Brown felt good, and when Bynum was resting, nothing went wrong.
The arrangement of the first half is already very complete, and you only need to make some fine adjustments according to the situation.
In the third quarter, the Nets' main players played better than in the first half, but it was not that easy to catch up points.
The Nets' rebounds are too bad and their shooting is just average. They basically have no chance to turn the tables.
Gerald Green's touch was not there in the second half, but Deron Williams came to the last quarter. He had a good rest and scored 10 points in a row, leaving the score suspense at the end.
But it is just a theoretical suspense, and the Nets have never been able to surpass the score.
Compared to a game, the Lakers are more worried about the players being affected by the outside world on the eve of the playoffs.
After the game, another reporter chased Mike Brown and asked him about his conflict with Bynum.
The reason was that when Bynum was hit by three-pointers in the game, he was pressed by Lakers coach Brown on the bench.
Bynum is a little childlike guy. Now he has become an All-Star and hopes to be privileged in the team, but the team does not think he can do much special, so he has had several harmless awkward times.
Xiang Chu didn't pay attention to these things normally, so it was not a big deal. With Kobe in the team, he could calm down ordinary things, but the media was a little afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
The real situation is nothing, but the team is worried that Bynum will be affected by the outside world. Even if he is already an All-Star, Bynum is still a bit immature.
Mike Brown also said there was no problem between the two and told the media not to create news to make things bigger.
In fact, the Lakers have performed well during this period. Mike Brown has just relaxed a lot, but unexpectedly something happened again. To be the Lakers head coach, you must have a big heart.
Bynum was only slightly sprained and could be together during training. Mike Brown also talked to him. In the next game, this guy made a comeback, Xiang Chu would return to the bench again.
Bynum said proudly: "The coach still relies heavily on me. He will give me a rest when playing weak teams. If he plays strong teams, he will not be able to play without me."
"Yes, yes, you must be the strongest." Xiang Chu said casually.
He probably thought Mike Brown also coaxed Bynum a few words and would soon be in the playoffs. It would make people laugh at it if it really made a fuss.
Bynum didn't feel Xiang Chu's perfunctory at all, and still spoke with great interest, "This season's games are too intensive. I haven't fully exerted my strength to maintain my strength. When the playoffs are over, you will know my true strength."
"Yang, I will take you to win the championship."
Xiang Chu was amused and crying. He didn't want to listen to this guy bragging all the time, but he still hopes that Bynum can really break out in the playoffs, and who doesn't want the championship?
The team made Bynum comeback because the next game is very important.
The Lakers are not considered to be away games to challenge the Clippers. If they win, they remain third in the West. If they lose, they may fall to fifth in the West. In key games, winning is not allowed to lose.
