Chapter 452: Second K ranking!

Because today is media day, the Lakers coaching staff did not arrange any technical and tactical training.
Today's main content is taking pictures, chatting and seeing if everyone has worked hard in the summer.
When the team took a photo, Xu Xuan stood in the middle without a doubt, and made his debut in C position.
This is the set-up photo, the new season's set-up photo of the Lakers.
This can be regarded as the official establishment of Xu Xuan's core position as the head of the house, and the official announcement to the media.
Yi Jianlian and Nick Yang stood beside Xu Xuan from left to right. Yi Jianlian was a little embarrassed, but Yang Shaoxia was very happy.
In the past two days, Yang Shaoxia has basically figured out Xu Xuan's character. He was very concerned about what Xu Xuan told him about introducing him to make a fortune in the future, and he almost vowed to make Xu Xuan his eldest brother.
Nick Young doesn't mess up, and Barnes, the new "tattoo brother", is also honest, and other people don't dare to blow up.
In the past two days, Xu Xuan also chatted with Barnes. This guy has a lot of tattoos on his body. The most talked about with Xu Xuan is the various tattoos on his body.
According to him, his upper left arm was his first tattoo. It was an AndOne basketball player. It means "King of Sacrament" because he is from Sacramento. "
The upper right arm is his favorite. He is a Californian, so this tattoo includes the Sacramento State Capitol, the Golden Gate Bridge in the Bay Area, the logo of the Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB team) and the beach and palm trees of San Diego. It Represents the love of California. "
On the right forearm, this is a black panther, his favorite animal.
The left forearm represents eternal life. There are sayings about eternal life in many places, like Chinese myths. Here is an image of a of death holding a sickle, which shows the contradiction and conflict between the two. This one (on the inside of the right arm) is a cross, which means ‘only God can judge him’.
In addition, he has the words ‘hope’ and ‘belief’ on his wrist, and images of angels and demons on his chest.
...
With so many tattoos, Xu Xuan feels quite speechless anyway. With so many tattoos, it really doesn't hurt at all?
After the group photo, the reporters surrounded Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan simply answered the questions of the media. Although the Lakers finally got Xu Xuan in a deal, many media still look down upon the City of Angels.
After all, not everyone is a traverser.
On paper, this Lakers is really bad.
Role players accounted for 95%, Xu Xuan alone, although the Lakers played the slogan "Revival of the Zijin Dynasty", but the outside world is generally not optimistic about the Lakers.
On the strength prediction table given by ESPN this year.
The first is the Warriors, the second is the Clippers, the third is the Spurs, the fourth is the Trail Blazers, the fifth is the Mosaic, the sixth is the Jazz, the seventh is the Mavericks, the eighth is the Thunder , The ninth place is the Lakers...
That's right, I don't know if it was deliberately nauseous or something, ESPN ranked the Lakers impartially just ninth.
Lower than the Thunder, that is to say, ESPN doesn't even think the Lakers can make the playoffs.
It's funny to say, the single-core Thunder ESPN is optimistic, but not the single-core Lakers...
Obviously discrimination.
But nobody cares about it, just treat him as farting.
I heard that the team competition will start later, and Jenny Buss also came, standing on the side holding her arms without speaking.
Jenny Buss is very satisfied with the current team, except that it is a pity that the money he prepared has not been spent, but also has some slight concerns.
New coach, new core, new lineup, she has no bottom right now. Can this Lakers play any results? If it fails... then something went wrong, even though her brother has been ousted by him. But she didn't dare to care about it. Jim Buss waited for her to make a mistake, so that she could return to power.
Xu Xuan is chatting with the Lakers' chief assistant Wharton.
The two are talking about the player ability rankings given by the latest "2K17".
It can be said that this thing is the most concerned and discussed at this time of the year.
There is no way, this sling thing turns your ability value into data, and you can compare it right away, but who wants to be lower than who?
No one wants to be inferior to anyone, but wants to be the boss, which is contradictory.
Every year the 2K ability value comes out will be criticized, and many stars don't buy it at all.
Xu Xuan remembered that his ranking was not high last time, and later changed it, but Xu Xuan did not pay attention.
Who cares after the changes? Everyone pays attention to this first appearance.
This time Xu Xuan's ranking is not low, with 96 points like James and tied for first place.
Xu Xuan was also a little surprised when he saw this ranking, this time 2K company actually gave him 96 with such a conscience.
He didn't expect it beforehand.
Ranked above 90 points, apart from him and James, Curry is 94 second.
Du Lao Er, Kawaii and Westbrook are all 93, tied for third.
Chris I cannon 91, ranked fourth.
The rest, James Harden, Pickle, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Anthony Davis all have 90 points.
A total of 13 people were ranked above 90 points.
...A lot of people.
the following.
Two people with an ability value of 89-Irving and Lillard.
Five people with a capacity of 88-Carmelo Anthony, John Wall, Downs, Butler, Aldridge.
Four people with an ability value of 87-Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond, DeMar DeRozan, Dwyane Wade.
The Warriors have four players with a capacity value of 90+. They are Curry, Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
"The Warriors are really strong, four 90+ players, and Andre Iguodala seems to be 81, Zaza Pachulia is 76, Sean Livingston is 76, David Weiss Especially 75..." Little Wharton said with emotion.
According to the standard of 90+, or even 88+, being an All-Star player, four 90+s are four All-Star players, plus such a large number of high-quality role players...
Xu Xuan glanced at him, then nodded.
Unexpectedly, the Lakers' chief assistant was Walton Jr.
Although this guy failed to become the head coach of the Lakers, he became the chief assistant who assisted Frank.
In Xu Xuan's opinion, this is just right.
Wharton Jr. grew up under the guidance of his Hall of Fame father, then played under the Hall of Fame coach (Phil Jackson), and teammates with Hall of Fame players (such as Kobe and O’Neal). Served as an assistant under Steve Kerr, and even led the Golden State Warriors to a 39-4 record in the absence of Coach Kerr last season.
This guy still has the ability, but Xu Xuan doesn't want him to be the head coach of the Lakers because of his disagreement.
He is okay to be an assistant, but the head coach respects Xie Bumin.
Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Why? Want to go back?"
"Haha"
Little Wharton smiled and said: "How is it possible, that is, they are very competitive."
Xu Xuan nodded, this is true.
In comparison, for the Lakers, with the exception of Xu Xuan 96, Russell is 79, Ingram is 78, Julius Randall is 77, Louis Williams is 77, and Larry Nance Jr. It's 75, Yi Jianlian is 74...
There is not an 80, compared with the Warriors... There are four 90s and one 80. I don’t know how much the average score is.
For example, the Warriors and the Lakers are like a class of academic masters and scumbags, and they can't even touch them.
"Have you seen the schedule? Five of our opponents in the new season are teams that made the playoffs last season (including the Houston Mosaic, Oklahoma City Thunder, Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors), and the remaining one is the Utah Jazz-this is said to be the top four team in the Western Conference in the 2016-2017 season. In addition, four of the above six games are away games... ."
Little Wharton spread his hands, looking helpless.
The Lakers schedule this season is fairly friendly, but the previous six games are not friendly.
"What are you afraid of? It's a strong team." Xu Xuan patted him on the shoulder. It's a pleasure to be a strong team, right?
Little Wharton gave a wry smile, yes, my realm is not enough.
"By the way, when the match is going to be played, I am the blue coach, Xu, start with a little bit, don't let us lose too badly." Little Wharton smiled.
"That won't work, Luke." Xu Xuan smiled and waved his hand, and said: "I won't be merciful, otherwise Mr. Frank would not let me play."
The two chatted for a while, and the energetic Reed also came over.
The best sixth man of the 14-15 season. Some changes have been made since he came to the Lakers last season. It is not that his data is not good, but that he played 35 games last season and lost the selection of the best sixth man. Qualifications.
This annoyed him very much.
In the NBA, players have different pursuits.
Some are chasing championships, some are pursuing regular season MVPs, some are pursuing big contracts, and some just want to come and play. There are also rich second generations, official second generations, and handsome second generations...
Pursuits are different. Lu Wei has no special needs for regular season MVPs and big contracts. Even if it is a championship, you can get it if you can get it.
But the only thing he wants is the best sixth man.
He once vowed that he wanted to surpass a certain old man in this respect, that was his goal, but now he has only one time for the best sixth man, and that old man has been thrice.
Last year there was no way, this year Xu Xuan came...
"Xu, can I play more time during the regular season?" Lu Wei asked seriously.
He is also a thorny head, but he is not a shame, he knows who is in charge of the team.
"of course can."
Xu Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You guy doesn't think that I have to play all games in the regular season? I'm not that good."
Lu Wei touched his head and smiled at Xu Xuan.
He was a little worried that after Xu Xuan came, he would occupy all the playing time. After all, Xu Xuan played too hard in the playoffs last season.
But after hearing this sentence, he was relieved a lot.
In the past two days, Xu Xuan gave him a watch, a cell phone, and then a dinner, which invisibly increased him a lot of credibility.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The Lakers' first team match of the new season.
"Luke, I choose 7 players, you choose 7 players, five starters and two substitutes, let me see if your coaching level has improved." Frank Vogel was in a good mood and patted Luke Walton. Said on the shoulder, "To be honest, I am planning to take a long vacation. If you beat me, I should take a 70 or 80 games. What do you think?"
Little Wharton smiled and said cheerfully: "That's okay. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the best head coach will not be mine, so I'll be busy, hahahahaha."
In the team competition, there was no pressure, and everyone was joking.
Soon, the selection is over.
Frank's side is Xu Xuan, D'Angelo Russell, Ingram, Julius Randall, Yi Jianlian, veteran Marcelo Hertas and Ci Shiping.
Wharton’s side is Louis Williams, Nick Young, Matt Barnes, Larry Nance, Zubac, Thomas Robinson, Wesley Matthews, Tariq Black .
The top five are the starters, and the next are substitutes.
Others also understand that Frank's five starters should be the lineup he plans to use in the regular season.
Frank was also a little emotional at this time, especially when he watched the guy named Ci Shiping honestly follow the assistant coach to warm up.
When he first came to the Lakers ~EbookFREE.me~, he was still a bit embarrassed. The Lakers had a lot of thorns. Ci Shiping, Lu Wei, and Nick Young were all thorns... especially When Matt Barnes was traded, he always felt that the Lakers had become a gathering place for tyrants.
Unexpectedly, in just two days, all the things Xu Xuan worried about disappeared.
"This guy is really a natural leader." Frank praised Xu Xuan.
Can put such a complex giant team, there are thorny teams everywhere, the sorting is so perfect, let alone Xu Xuan a third-year rookie, even James like this may not be able to hold the factory.
If you ask Ci Shiping, you can ask him and see if he is afraid that James will not...
Now Xu Xuan can convince him... not easy.
After dividing the people, both sides called people aside to start tactics.
The substitute team didn't mean to be perfunctory, they actually wanted to see what strength Xu Xuan really is now.
Didn't you even win?
Especially for a rookie like Zubac, he doesn't want to beat the starting team, but if he can perform better, maybe he can replace Yi Jianlian as the starter?
Speaking of it, he is the authentic center.
After the tactics are arranged, the training game will begin immediately.
The game is arranged according to the regular game, that is, the time is slightly reduced. Each quarter is 10 minutes, and the whole game is 40 minutes, which is 8 minutes less.
The chief athletic trainer Marco Paul () and the fourth assistant in charge of the draft Myles Simon served as referees.
The major media who came to watch in the training hall were cheered up. They wanted to see if Xu Xuan was really as strong as the rumors.
After all, video or news is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes!
