Before the press conference ended, domestic and foreign news media broke out.
Dayao first sent another meager message.
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you! Little Prince of Basketball!"
Da Zhi, who has retired, also retweeted this meager post and added a thumbs up.
The rest of the basketball celebrities, whether they really recognized Shen Huan in their hearts or not, in this environment, they all had an attitude of encouragement and support.
But people among the people are different.
Basketball fans, in particular, are very divided.
"Are you kidding? Are the Lakers stupid? How can they let a 17-year-old boy who has not received a day of formal training join their team?"
"The Lakers are indeed finished! Kobe is also crazy!"
"Are our country's basketball players going to make a joke? How sad!"
"Uh... Although I am a die-hard fan of Sister Xiaofeng, I have to say that what happened this time is a bit unbelievable!"
"Tch, these idiots above! They don't know enough all day long. You are just people watching the game! The Lakers are such a big super-rich team, and superstars like Kobe and Iverson don't know more about basketball than you do? If Shen Huan doesn't have the strength, they will give him a contract? Just dream!"
"Yes, when people from our country are recognized by the NBA, some people are not happy, but are afraid of hurting themselves... I want to ask, do you deserve it? People who are just standing around watching the game, you deserve to go Are you mocking Sister Xiaofeng?"
"I don't care! Sister Xiaofeng is the best! Anyone who slanders Sister Xiaofeng is going against our 6 billion happy fan base!"
“…”
It's just individuals who are noisy.
Domestic news media, however, showed restraint.
Their reports were very simple, listing the lineups of the Lakers and Rockets, adding at most "my country's Shen Huan has also joined the Lakers" without making any comments.
It's not because they like Shen Huan very much.
It's because of Shen Huan's other identity - a great mathematician.
This is a person who has been named and praised by Renmin Daily and Yang Ma. If you are sarcastic as soon as you come up, what will you make the two big bosses think
But they haven't always been silent.
Everything will have to wait until the end of the Lakers' warm-up match before we can make a general comment.
Therefore, the Lakers' two games have attracted more and more attention.
Originally the most expensive ticket was for the Lakers VS Golden State Warriors in Guangdong, but now the price for the Lakers VS Rockets in Shanghai has also increased rapidly.
Don’t get me wrong, tickets are not still on sale, they have been sold out long ago.
It's all hype now, and scalpers are extremely crazy. They are jumping up and down. An ordinary 380 ticket has a 1 added to the front, and it continues to rise.
The tickets for the first five rows directly exceeded 10,000. The starting price was 50,000 for the ten or so seats in the two rows behind the Lakers, which was the most expensive. It was almost impossible to get a ticket.
It means that in addition to money, you also need to have some connections.
The atmosphere of the entire competition was very exciting.
Fans and media in the United States also added fuel to such a heated atmosphere.
"The appearance of a Chinese player in the Lakers' preseason game is a commercial hype or a new discovery?"
"I think the NBA is a competitive environment and is not suitable for making decisions specifically for business. Does China have good basketball players? Yes! Dayao is one, but what about the others?"
"Oh my god, aren't the Lakers all stupid? First there is a 40-year-old Iverson, and now there is a 17-year-old Chinese boy?!"
"Don't worry too much, this is just the preseason. After the preseason, many teams will re-sign their contracts. Maybe this is just a 10-day short-term contract for players?"
"I think that's the case. The Lakers are in dire straits now. They won't ruin everything about the team!"
“…”
This is just the first round.
By nightfall, the direction of public opinion suddenly changed.
"This TV station interviewed Michael Jordan and proved that this young player named Shen Huan came to Jordan's training camp this summer and beat all the players there! Michael admired him very much, but he did not accept the invitation!"
"Yes! Shen Huan not only blew up Jordan's training camp, but also blew up the Lakers' training camp! But he didn't stay at that time, but returned to China! I believe Kobe and the top management of the Lakers, It was precisely after seeing this that he pursued Hua Guo and signed a contract with him, right?"
"According to insiders, Shen Huan is highly praised by Kobe and Iverson. In fact, the three of them are good friends! Iverson privately said to his close friends that if one day there is someone like him in the NBA, The only player who can surpass him is Shen Huan!"
"We interviewed eight players who were in the Jordan training camp and the Lakers training camp. They have all seen Shen Huan's skills. According to their unanimous opinion, if Shen Huan can play 50% of what he did in the training camp on the NBA court, With his strength, he is a first-line player. If he plays 100%, he will be the next Kobe, the next Iverson, and the next LeBron James!"
"We are looking forward to this signing by the Lakers. If it is true as those sources said, the Lakers will definitely stir up a storm this time! Whether Shen Huan is a superstar on the training ground or an actual superstar depends on The next few pre-season games will test it out!”
“…”
However, any disturbance could not affect Shen Huan's state.
From the meeting the day before yesterday to today's pre-game preparations, all of Shen Huan's training impressed the Lakers.
This kid has speed, strength, can fight, break through, pass, and dunk... Everything else is perfect except that he doesn't have enough tonnage to compete with a super center.
At least no one on the Lakers can guard him.
Even Kobe and Iverson couldn't defend well against Shen Huan, who was 20 years younger than them.
Byron Scott smiled even more, and then frowned.
He is happy that such a talented player has joined the Lakers.
What's sad is that Shen Huan only played in the playoffs and was as cool as a superstar.
All right.
You have good skills, so it’s your turn to be awesome!
Byron Scott has already seen Kobe's rapid recovery, and has seen Iverson's vaguely peak performance.
So he has no doubts about the team's playoff spot.
When he thought that in the playoffs, those teams would have to face such a terrifying opponent, he felt comfortable and at ease.
What are you afraid of
O'Neal has already retired!
Warcraft Howard has been severely disabled!
Who else can stop Shen Huan? !
Of course, Byron Scott didn't show off.
He plans to keep a low profile and keep a low profile until the playoffs, and then he will make those opponents suffer!
