When the Lakers arrived in Shanghai, they received a much better welcome than the Rockets who arrived five hours ago.

The Rockets, who lost Dayao, were recently led by Harden, one of the original four members of the Thunder. They finished second in the Western Conference in the regular season last season, but lost to the later championship Golden State in the Western Conference Finals.

Warriors.

But they still have hope for the future.

Howard, the new addition to the team, was a superstar who could lead the team to the finals on his own a few years ago.

Although almost half of his career has been ruined due to injuries, Warcraft, who is only half as powerful, is still an extremely good star.

In addition, they also have Harden who has already played!

The 26-year-old player definitely has a bright future, and he is vaguely considered one of the top three shooting guards in the league.

With these two superstars teaming up, even if it is not as good as the combination of Dayao and Tracy McGrady, it is still warmly welcomed by fans in Shanghai and Shanghai.

Dayao personally came to welcome them, took them to the hotel, and had a good party for a while.

For this reason, Yao had to miss the Los Angeles Lakers, who arrived a few hours later, and missed Kobe Bryant and Iverson.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Dayao was born in the Rockets, so he can't leave his home team behind to meet the Lakers and those two superstars, right?

It doesn't matter if there is no Yao, because there are thousands of Lakers fans picking up the Lakers at the airport, which really allows the Lakers to enjoy the treatment of being at home.

"I said Kobe, you really don't scare me." General Manager Kupchak was sweating all the time. While greeting the fans with a smile, he wanted to cry and said: "It's such a big thing, why didn't you

Tell me earlier? And this Shen... Is Shen Huan so awesome? How dare you think that you have the ability to play in the NBA and be your right-hand man without going to the United States for a trial training?!"

The dignified general manager of the Lakers actually didn't hear his boss Buss talk about this until he got on the plane.

Buss Jr. said that Kobe wanted to sign a Chinese player, who was said to be a talent that Jordan recognized.

Let Kupchak check it out, watch him play two preseason games, and then sign him if he's OK.

Anyway, the team does not lack this amount of money. Even if Kobe is already old, his requirements must be met.

If it really doesn't work, just give him a contract worth 1 million US dollars at most, which is like raising a loser who never plays.

Kupchak almost cried when he heard this.

Is my general manager so ignored?

You didn't tell me who you were going to sign until the last minute, and even asked him to participate in our team's preseason games. This... isn't this a joke?

The live broadcast of the game was circulated. If he is a waste, don't I have to take the blame?

Can we still say that Kobe is blind?

I am the only one who is blind!

In order not to have his car smashed every day in the future, he could only pester Kobe and want to know more information about Shen Huan before he could make a decision.

"You'll see him soon. I'll introduce him to you later." Kobe was a little impatient and didn't say this to Kupchak until he got on the bus.

"Where?" Kupchak asked.

"Training ground." Kobe's answer was always simple.

But Iverson, who was in the front row, turned his head and said, "Hey, Mickey, don't worry, he won't let you down! Kobe and I are both optimistic about someone, what are you worried about?"

Kupchak sighed and decided not to talk to these two people for the time being.

A group of players next to them heard for the first time that a new teammate might join, and they also had different expressions.

Especially shooting guard Lou Williams and point guard Dangino Russell.

Originally they didn't have to worry.

Last year's NBA Sixth Man of the Year was Lou Williams. The Lakers spent three years and $21 million to sign him in July this year.

Dangino Russell is even more awesome. He is this year's No. 2 pick and is only 19 years old. The Lakers drafted him and gave him a four-year, $23.02 million contract. He was trained as Kobe's successor.

of.

The two of them, when Kobe just came back this year, were the main players in the rotation.

The two were originally planning to assist Kobe and the newly joined Allen Iverson to work hard for such a season. Unexpectedly, the first preseason game had not even started, and suddenly a Chinese player appeared out of nowhere.

, and also played guard.

He can play both shooting guard and point guard.

This is not a problem, the problem is that this Chinese player was actually recommended by Kobe and Iverson.

So when it comes to the game, do you think it’s the two of them who play more, or this player who plays more?

In the NBA, playing time represents a player's status in the team, the size of his future contract, and the amount of honors he will receive. This cannot be compromised.

But the two of them combined are not as good as either Kobe or Iverson. How dare they say anything?

We can only hold our breath and see how this Chinese player is doing.

If the technology is good... well, what's the use of having good technology? Can the Chinese people's physical fitness compare to ours?

No matter how good your technique is, it will just fly away if you hit it!

A few years ago, those players from China came to the NBA, didn’t they just leave the NBA in such a dejected manner?

The general manager is confused.

Players are curious and alert.

Head coach Byron Scott was even a little embarrassed.

He is the head coach and a famous NBA championship-level superstar. However, Kobe and Iverson were so disrespectful and didn't even ask his opinion when selecting players. Isn't this looking down on others?

But Byron Scott didn't get angry.

Because his performance last season was really poor. Without Kobe, the Lakers seemed to have lost their soul, and they didn't even make it to the playoffs.

Without good grades, what right does he have to get angry?

If you try and look at championship-level coaches like Don Nelson, Popovich, and Pat Riley, even Kobe Bryant will be scolded bloody.

But Byron Scott still buried his mind, if this Chinese player is not good, then he will not give face.

Kobe Bryant, who returned from injury this year, and the newly joined Iverson, both made his eyes light up. He felt that these two superstars seemed to be still in their prime.

If both of them are used well, it is possible to enter the Western Conference Finals!

As long as he can achieve this result, his position in the Lakers will be stable.

For this goal, it is impossible for him to allow a player who is nothing to come in, which will make the atmosphere of the team very bad!

That's it.
