When it was time to go on stage, Shen Huan also received such a good reward, which made her feel really good.
"The starting lineup will be Kobe, Allen, Roy, Lewis, and Julius." Near 7:30, Byron Scott arranged today's starting lineup.
The five people right now are the strongest people at their respective positions in the Lakers lineup.
Originally, Nick Young was also a star on the All-Star bench, but if the person he met was Allen Iverson, he would naturally have to step aside.
"The second lineup is Nick Young, Shen Huan, Dangino, Brandon and Ryan." Byron Scott then arranged the second team of substitutes, "If you have to substitute, you will come on at any time. First The second half of the festival will all depend on your performance!”
While speaking, Byron Scott looked at Shen Huan again, "Shen Huan, you have to watch more and think more about this game, and give your best when you play. Do you understand? This is your introduction to the world. important moment!”
"clear!"
Shen Huan nodded.
In the NBA, there is never any humility and restraint, only strength.
"Okay, let's enter the court and start warming up!" Byron Scott waved.
A group of players immediately walked into the stadium from the player tunnel.
As soon as they came out, they heard deafening cheers.
"Kobe!"
"Aaron!"
"Shen Huan!!!"
These three people were the main ones they shouted at.
Because they had been to Shanghai for several days during the summer vacation, Kobe and Iverson both smiled and greeted them.
When I met a few people who wanted to sign, they took the book and wrote their names on it.
This is not a formal competition anyway, so there is nothing wrong with relaxing at all.
The most people called Shen Huan.
Especially seeing Shen Huan wearing a Lakers uniform and actually appearing in front of everyone, the screams were even more deafening.
Well, it was mostly girls shouting.
The Rockets players who had started practicing next to them were also looking at the Lakers and Shen Huan.
They already knew the news about Shen Huan joining the Lakers, but they were just looking at him out of curiosity and didn't think this short Chinese player would cause any trouble to them.
Although the Rockets are in decline, they are still an NBA team and are still invincible within China.
Hosting this preseason match is the Shanghai-Benz Cultural Center.
This is one of the top three NBA-level basketball stadiums in the country, with 18,000 seats, and has hosted many NBA preseason games.
However, its occupancy rate today was more than 110%, with a total of 20,000 people seated!
Even some places such as the aisles were packed with people.
Selling around 2,000 more tickets was definitely not because the organizer was greedy for money. It was actually a group of well-connected people who wanted the tickets. They were forced to have no choice but to sell 2,000 more tickets.
Fortunately, there were such 2,000 high-priced tickets, otherwise they would have regretted it.
If they had known that the tickets would be so easy to sell this time, how could they buy them at the lowest price of 380
At least they are all on sale for 880!
Between this and that, I lost more than 20 million yuan!
But they are also mentally balanced, because the same is true for tickets in Huajing and Guangdong. They were sold out early, and now it is too late to raise prices.
Amid the cheers of 20,000 spectators, the NBA preseason match in China—Los Angeles Lakers VS Houston Rockets—officially kicked off.
Originally, the Rockets did not plan to send out their main force from the beginning.
But when they saw Kobe and Iverson over there, they were eyeing them. They were afraid that they would be beaten by the Lakers as soon as they came up, so they could only send out the strongest lineup.
As the two biggest superstars, Howard and Harden are very happy.
They would feel unhappy if they were assigned to fight the weak.
Now let them go up and face each other, which is what they are most happy to see!
This is respect for yourself and your opponent!
Just like that, from the moment the two teams took the field, they played at the level of a superstar team in the playoffs.
Whether it was Kobe's breakthrough shooting, Howard's defense at the basket and dunks, or Harden's flexible pace and pick-and-roll layups, the audience was mesmerized.
But the most surprising thing is the fourth superstar, the never-surrender warrior who turned 40 this year.
Iverson didn't show his legendary butterfly step, nor did he make a big difference in disguise, but he contributed lightning-like speed, as well as accurate layups and pull-up shots.
Even the experts from the NBA couldn't help but exclaimed when commenting on this game.
"Oh my god, Allen's airborne time and distance are still top-notch! That's great!! I think I saw Allen is back!!"
After eight minutes of play, the score was 20:18, with the Lakers leading by two points.
Among them, Kobe shot 4 of 7 and scored 8 points, Iverson scored 8 points, and the remaining four points were scored by Lou Williams.
It looked like it was almost done, Byron Scott put on the second set of substitutes.
It was originally a game to test the state. Naturally, the Rockets did not care much about the results. Instead, like the Lakers, in addition to leaving Howard to guard the basket, they sent in their second lineup.
When the substitutes of both sides came on the field, deafening roars rang out inside the Mercedes-Benz Center.
"Shen Huan!... Shen Huan!... Shen Huan!..."
The players on the court all looked at the young Chinese man with a calm expression.
They were all a little surprised. They didn't expect that Shen Huan could remain calm in such a hot atmosphere.
But the Rockets players didn't pay much attention to Shen Huan.
Even if many media boast that Shen Huan is valued by Jordan, Kobe, and Iverson... but so what
If nothing else, would Jordan look at players one-tenth as well as he does playing basketball
How many of the players valued by Jordan have become successful
Kwame Brown? !
So everyone is not afraid. At best, they think this is a player who was compromised and signed for the Chinese market.
Even Kobe and Iverson were a little nervous.
They didn't doubt Shen Huan's strength, but they were worried that he wouldn't be able to perform well.
After the restart, it was the Lakers' possession.
Following Kobe's previous instructions, Ryan Kelly passed the ball to Shen Huan immediately.
Shen Huan held the ball without any ceremony and rushed towards the opponent's half.
The person who intercepted Shen Huan was Terrence Jones. He weighed 114 kilograms and was 206 centimeters tall. Compared to Shen Huan, he was like a big wall, firmly blocking Shen Huan's path.
But Shen Huan pulled the ball forward, swung it around, and passed through his defense cleanly.
And all Terrence Jones could do was turn around in a circle, and then realized at a loss that he had lost his opponent in front of him.
Because Shen Huan was so fast, Howard was the only one left in the Rockets' basket at this time.
The reason why Warcraft didn't end the game was because he spent almost all of the previous time on defense, honing his sense of the basket without expending much effort.
At this time, when the substitutes come on, he no longer needs to participate in the offense and concentrates on defense.
Howard was not worried at all when he saw Shen Huan coming to kill him.
Although he is no longer the monster he was at his peak, it is more than enough to deal with a short and thin player who is 185 centimeters tall and weighs not even 90 kilograms.
Seeing Shen Huan jump into the free throw line, Howard snorted, then jumped up, waved his big hand, and hit the basketball in Shen Huan's hand hard.
In Howard's view, in addition to being blocked, Shen Huan would also be directly knocked away by himself.
He was a little worried whether Shen Huan's hands and feet would be broken because of this!
However, what Warcraft didn't expect was that when his hand was about to touch the basketball in Shen Huan's hand, Shen Huan suddenly changed his hand, from his right hand to his left hand, and threw the basketball towards the basket.
At this time, the two inevitably bumped into each other.
Howard always felt as if he had hit a hard piece of iron and was crushed down with numbness all over his body.
"Peng!"
The basketball was sent into the basket by Shen Huan.
But what's even more shocking is that Howard was actually knocked away and staggered back two steps after landing!
The place suddenly became quiet.
"FK!"
"marvelous!!"
Kobe and Iverson stood up directly, raised their hands and cheered and applauded Shen Huan.
The two of them looked at each other.
According to this posture, Shen Huan is not only great at breaking through with the ball, but he is also really good in confrontation!
Although Howard is no longer the super monster he was five years ago, his physical fitness is still top-notch in the NBA.
If he could be knocked away, why should Shen Huan be afraid of collision
The spectators present were all stunned. Upon seeing this, a wave of sound suddenly surged up, as if it was going to lift the entire stadium.
They shouted Shen Huan's name and screamed to celebrate Shen Huan's first goal!
Compared to them, Shen Huan himself was not so excited.
He quickly returned to his half and started his defense.
The Rockets players who wanted revenge rushed in front of Shen Huan and wanted to push him forward, but they didn't expect that they couldn't push Shen Huan away at all. Instead, Shen Huan snatched the basketball away from his hand.
Then Shen Huan staged a long-distance run, passed Howard, and then staged a windmill dunk.
"Cowhide..."
The audience roared with applause again!
Many people have seen the video of Shen Huan playing high school league games. Shen Huan often performed such good shows at that time.
But at that time, we were facing high school students, but now we were facing serious NBA players. The two were completely different!
But Shen Huan can still do it, what does this mean
Doesn't it mean that Shen Huan's football skills are excellent
Shen Huan was excellent both offensively and defensively, and succeeded in two consecutive goals, which immediately boosted the morale of the Lakers players.
In the last four minutes of the first quarter, they played a 13:3 spurt, suddenly opening the score to 33:21!
Both Kobe and Iverson almost broke their hands.
The two are now looking forward to the dream of the three of them teaming up to win the championship!
