Huajing, Wusong Gymnasium.
As the best super large indoor stadium in Huajing, Wusong Stadium can accommodate 14,000 people to watch games on weekdays. If it is too popular, it can be increased to 18,000 seats.
But today is even more different. Wusong Stadium sold 22,000 tickets.
There are 2,000 standing tickets among them!
But the fare is not cheap at all.
For the first game of the Lakers vs. Toronto Raptors, standing tickets are all priced at 680, with seats in the last row priced at 1,280, and those with better seats priced at 5,800.
The two rows of seats closest to Shen Huan and the Lakers were not for sale at all. They were all given away by the organizers.
None of these tickets were released.
There were more than thirty private rooms, and the prices started from 200,000, but they were snatched up immediately.
Think this is expensive
Not at all!
The above-mentioned prices are only the ticket sales prices on the dealer's website. Many fans who failed to grab the tickets actually bought more expensive tickets from scalpers.
Standing tickets can be sold for 2,000 each. Do you think they are crazy
Even so, at 7:30 online, there was still a large crowd standing at the entrance of Wusong Stadium. Many people were holding signs asking for tickets, or asking around for those who seemed to have tickets.
When Shen Huan and the others came out to warm up, the audience burst into the most enthusiastic screams and applause.
Fortunately, NBA stars are used to such big scenes. During warm-up training, stars interact with fans from time to time.
Kobe and Iverson gave everyone a surprise.
The two appeared wearing jackets that read "Hello China" and "I love China" and immediately won applause and shouts second only to Shen Huan.
Everyone knows that they are Shen Huan's good friends.
Last season, Xigua.com's interviews with the team had already shown countless scenes of them.
In this way, they are our own people, so naturally they should be more enthusiastic.
Sure enough, as soon as the game started, every time the Lakers attacked, there were overwhelming cheers and cheers on the court.
Especially when Shen Huan, Kobe and Iverson get the ball, the decibels can kill people.
On the other hand, if the Toronto Raptors attack with the ball, they will receive a lot of boos and curses.
The people who cursed at this time included white-collar workers, children from rich families, and many very beautiful girls.
Yelling and cursing on the court certainly cannot be considered low quality.
People watching football in the United States and Europe are all so wild.
Because we have accumulated too many negative emotions in our daily lives, and we need to vent them.
Whether on the court or in front of the TV or mobile phone, the player that everyone pays most attention to is naturally Shen Huan wearing the No. 54 Lakers jersey.
NBA players are used to herding sheep after the season. Gaining twenty or thirty pounds in one vacation period is just like playing.
But when they return to the team at the end of August, they will undergo arduous training to recover their bodies and condition.
Shen Huan is different. After Shen Huan retired from the NBA, he basically did not have any professional training.
Many media have photographed Shen Huan often going for a run in the morning.
But this level of training is simply not suitable for the fierce competition in the NBA.
However, what did everyone see when they were on the court
After Howard successfully grabbed the ball, he threw it directly to Shen Huan, who was speeding towards the opponent's court. Shen Huan caught the basketball in the air outside the three-point line and threw it directly towards the basket without waiting for it to land.
"Uh-huh!"
Hollow basket in!
3 points are valid!
And this is only the third second of the opening!
"Wow… "
The audience immediately became excited.
Shen Huan is as fast as lightning, as well as proficient in catching the ball and accurate in shooting. Compared with the playoffs last season, it is not bad at all!
The Toronto Raptors are also a little confused.
They were prepared to defend Shen Huan well today.
They didn't get the chance to play against Shen Huan last year, and of course they couldn't underestimate this super strong player who swept almost most of the NBA's superstars.
So today they sent two players to fight against Shen Huan.
One is of course center Jonas Valanciunas and the other is point guard Kyle Lowry.
Valanciunas is a Lithuanian player. He is only 24 years old this year and is in his prime.
Kyle Lowry is 30 years old and has experience and skills.
The two of them, one old and one young, came to cooperate, just to see if they could cut off Shen Huan.
The Lakers' tactics are very simple. As long as Shen Huan is there, Shen Huan will definitely be the core organizer and attacker.
As long as Shen Huan's line can be cut off, the Lakers' power will be reduced by half.
When the ball kicked off, Valanciunas wanted to stop Shen Huan, but he didn't expect that Shen Huan didn't give him a chance and rushed past him.
Valanciunas only had time to grab the air and watched helplessly as Shen Huan scored a three-pointer.
He smiled bitterly.
He knew that there was a big gap between him and the world's top superstars, but now Shen Huan didn't even give him a chance to fight, so how could he defend
In last year's finals, Shen Huan suddenly activated his three-point shooting skills, killing the Cavaliers' two superstars. This was something that frightened all the players.
It was said before that Curry's three-pointers were of a historical level, but since seeing Shen Huan's three-pointer performance, everyone knows what is top-notch.
It is said that this summer, the elementary school classmate did not go on vacation at all. He took his good friend Thompson and the two of them practiced three-point shooting all summer, just to be like Shen Huan.
Valanciunas, who was still a little unhappy at first, finally got his wish after the Toronto Raptors also counterattacked and scored two points, facing Shen Huan who came with the ball.
This time Shen Huan did not choose a fast break or a three-pointer, but pushed Valanciunas into the basket.
Valanciunas could swear that he really tried his best, but he couldn't stop Shen Huan at all, not even for a second.
Shen Huan just carried him forcefully. After entering the basket, under Kyle Lowry's high block, he skillfully passed the basketball from his back to the other hand, avoiding the defense and dunking the ball. success.
"Peng~~"
As the basketball was dunked into the basket, bursts of cheers came from the court again.
"Wow wow wow..."
"What the hell! What kind of magical technology is this?"
"Master Huan, you are so awesome!!"
"Chen Huan, Chen Huan, I want to give birth to a monkey for you~~"
"Master Huan, you are so amazing!"
“…”
Listening to the crazy shouts of the audience, Bass sighed unconsciously.
"You said that if Shen Huan wants to play the regular season for a year, how popular will our Lakers be? I'm afraid the value can directly increase by 1 billion U.S. dollars, right?" He said to Kupchak beside him.
"You are being a bit modest. I think 2 billion US dollars is no problem." Kupchak said, "But this cannot be forced. It depends on the opportunity... After Iverson and Kobe retire, we must not let them go. , let them contact Shen Huan frequently and let them persuade Shen Huan to come and play."
"Um!"
Little Bas nodded.
Almost all outsiders don't know why Shen Huan wants to play in the NBA again.
But Buss knew that Shen Huan made this decision after discussing with Kobe and Iverson for a while.
Although I don't know what it has to do with, it must be Kobe and Iverson who exerted influence on him.
Therefore, these two people will definitely be a great weapon to win over Shen Huan in the future.
If he is poached by another team after retiring, maybe Shen Huan will follow suit.
For a superstar like Shen Huan, it is no longer his glory that is the team, but that he can bring glory to the team!
