Two days later, Portland's Moda Center Arena.
The 20,000-seat arena was packed.
There are not only 15,000 Trail Blazers fans, but also 3,000 Lakers fans, and 2,000 Chinese or international students.
Seeing the colors of the national flag and the uniform shouting of their names, Shen Huan couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure.
Before the game started, Barkley, who heard the sound, smiled and said to his commentary partner Kenny Smith: "You see, this is Shen Huan's popularity! There are many Chinese in the United States!"
"This is the city of Portland. If it were a big city like New York or Los Angeles, they would be able to fill the arena directly with Chinese people." Kenny Smith said, "Even if he is an average player, he will have these basic skills." set, not to mention how amazing he was in his first game.”
"Well, we have to wait and see if Shen Huan is a flash in the pan or if he really has the potential to be a superstar. After all, we can't make a decision in one game." Barkley waved his hand.
"The company also means this, otherwise it wouldn't have sent us here." Kenny Smith smiled.
The two are TNT's gold medal partners, specializing in commentating on the most popular games.
They were commentators on the Cavaliers in the last game, and they were transferred over urgently for this game.
The words of the two also represent the attitude of public opinion in the United States these days.
Although Shen Huan is a blockbuster, when it comes to basketball, there are as many as meteors in the vast sea of players who can produce super high statistics in a game.
Not to mention one game, there are many players who have performed brilliantly for consecutive years.
The key is whether they last!
Superstars like Joe, Kobe, Iverson, Duncan, and James can maintain a high level of competitiveness for more than ten years, and only then will they be sought after and praised by people.
Start bragging after one or two games... This is not a football game. Any newcomer who scores a goal can be called the second generation Messi, the new Inzaghi, etc.
Therefore, in the past two days, the American sports media praised Shen Huan for scoring a god-level score, but there was definitely not much reporting or boasting.
Their focus of coverage is still on super teams such as the Cavaliers and Warriors.
Even if the Lakers finish third in the Western Conference this year, not many people believe that they can reach the finals.
After all, a spot in the Western Conference Finals has already been taken by the Golden State Warriors.
It is really difficult for the Lakers to defeat last year's championship Golden State Warriors, who broke the regular season win record.
But all this did not affect the lively atmosphere of the Moda Center tonight.
Trail Blazers fans were very unhappy with the loss in the first game. They felt that their team was simply caught off guard by the Lakers.
Now that they have experience, they know that Shen Huan is very powerful. As long as they make targeted changes, they will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory.
Haven't you seen that the team's two original main players, Kobe and Iverson, are at the end of their rope and unable to play intense games
As long as Shen Huan can be restrained, victory will definitely be achieved!
In fact, the Buddhist style of play of Kobe and Iverson is also the reason why public opinion in the United States is not optimistic about the Lakers.
No matter how good Shen Huan is, even if he is a combination of Jordan and Pippen, he can't lead these crooked Lakers to victory.
Kobe, Iverson and Shen Huan must work together to have any hope of competing.
Now that Kobe and Iverson have obviously worked too hard in the regular season, how can they continue to lead the team forward
Before the game started, while waiting for the jump ball, Shen Huan saw the opposite Trail Blazers eyeing him.
When Roy Hibbert continued to shoot the ball forward, the Trail Blazers players no longer retreated, but came directly to Ed Davis to block Shen Huan's path.
Shen Huan wanted to go around, but Davis leaned directly on Shen Huan, trying to squeeze him away.
But Shen Huan didn't even look at him. Instead, he accelerated again, passed Davis directly, grabbed the basketball before Allen Crabbe.
"Peng!"
Only then was the sound of Davis staggering and falling to the ground.
Allen Crabbe's attention was highly concentrated. Seeing that Shen Huan had already grabbed the ball first, he suddenly opened his hands and pushed towards Shen Huan.
Shen Huan took advantage of the situation and threw the ball behind him, then turned again and headed towards the baseline.
Allen Crabbe was stunned when he saw this.
What's going on here
Why did you dare to attack our basket after throwing the ball
As a result, the next moment, he saw Russell leaping high to catch the ball and throwing the ball hard towards the Trail Blazers' half.
Looking at that posture, he hit the backboard directly.
At this time, Plumlee had retreated to the three-second zone and was turning his head to watch the basketball leap towards him.
"Mason!"
At this time, he heard Lillard yelling.
Then Plum saw a purple-gold figure approaching quickly with his peripheral vision.
"ah!"
Plumlee roared, and after seeing where the basketball was falling, he jumped into the air and grabbed the basketball with both hands.
As a result, Shen Huan also jumped into the air on the line of the three-second zone at this time, jumping faster and higher than Plumli.
Just when Plumli's fingertips were about five centimeters away from the basketball, Shen Huan's hand had already touched the basketball from the side. With such a smooth push, the basketball accelerated from Plumli's hands. fall.
"boom!"
The basketball literally accelerated and fell into the basket under Plumlee's nose.
It’s Shen Huan again!
It’s the first fast break again!
It's the same as the last game, he keeps grabbing the basketball over his head!
Facing another failure, the complete feeling of powerlessness made Plumley suddenly burst into anger.
His body was heavy, so he naturally fell down faster than Shen Huan.
After landing, Plumli directly pushed with both hands, trying to push Shen Huan who had not yet landed.
"oh… "
The audience at the scene clearly saw his angry expression and actions with their own eyes or on the TV screen above the arena.
Originally, Shen Huan was in the air and had no place to rely on.
If Shen Huan was pushed like this, coupled with the speed and force of his original fall, it is very likely that he would fall solidly to the ground, possibly breaking his arms and legs.
But the furious Plumley didn't think so much.
In fact, his hands were already on Shen Huan's body and he pushed him out.
Under the huge force, Shen Huan's upper body fell directly backwards.
Shen Huan seemed to be very surprised. While subconsciously waving his arms, his feet also made a subconscious movement to maintain balance.
He kicked his leg casually and hit Plumli in the chin.
"boom!!"
There was a muffled sound, and Plumlee almost didn't even hum. He was hit so hard that he fainted.
"ah… "
There was a burst of exclamations and shouts in the arena.
Because they saw that Plumley was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and was unconscious with his eyes closed tightly.
"Peng!"
At this time, Shen Huan also fell to the ground, and the floor made a loud noise.
The sound was so loud that the whole audience could hear it.
"What on earth did you do? Are you going to kill him!?" Ed Davis, who was the fastest in pursuit, rushed forward, grabbed Shen Huan's jersey, pulled him up, and yelled asked.
Seeing Davis being so presumptuous, the old man Iverson, who was already shocked, became angry.
Shet!
It was obviously a malicious foul committed by you, but you still blamed my brother for stepping on the horse!
You don't even know if my brother is injured or not, how dare you drag him up like this? !
He immediately rushed over from the backcourt viciously.
Kobe Bryant, who was behind him, was running faster than him, and the Black Mamba's face was filled with tears.
Kobe was not an honest person. He had many fights on the court, but he was never afraid of trouble.
At this time, Shen Huan glanced at Davis, who seemed to be so angry that he wanted to devour him, and suddenly reached out and strangled his neck with one hand.
"Well… "
Davis felt a burst of pain and wanted to reach out and open Shen Huan's hand.
But he didn't expect that Shen Huan would lift him up neatly with just a little force.
Lift him at least 20 centimeters off the ground! !
Under the huge pain and suffocation, Davis' hands could only flap weakly, and his mind went blank.
"FK!"
"Chinese Kung Fu!?"
Barkley and Kenny Smith stood up directly at the commentary table, stunned.
The members of the two teams who were rushing over were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks.
The fans present were also stunned and couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Damn it!
Making a movie!
A 183cm little man can actually lift a 2.06m power forward? It's even lifted off the ground!
It was obviously Davis who went to look for trouble, but he was KO'd in one fell swoop, in such a simple and violent way! !
Look at Davis, he's going to die!
