When the Lakers arrived in Shanghai, they were greeted with much more welcome than the Rockets, who arrived five hours earlier.

The Rockets, who lost Da Yao, recently won the second place in the West in the regular season last season under the leadership of Harden, one of the original Thunder's four youngsters, only to lose to the future champion Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.

But they also have hope for the future.

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

Although almost half of it has been ruined due to injuries, Warcraft, which is only half of its strength, is still an extremely good star.

Plus, they have Harden, who has already played out!

The 26-year-old has a promising future, and he has a vague position to be among the top three scoring guards in the league right now.

With these two superstars joining forces, even if it is not as good as the combination of Da Yao and Maddie back then, it is still warmly welcomed by Shanghai fans.

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

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

But there is no way around it.

Da Yao was born in the Rockets, so he can't let go of his parent team and go to meet the Lakers and those two superstars, right?

It doesn't matter if there is no Da Yao, because there are thousands of fans who pick up the Lakers, which really allows the Lakers to enjoy a home treatment.

"I said Kobe, don't scare me. General manager Kupchak has been sweating, squeezing out a smile to greet the fans, while wanting to cry: "Such a big thing, why didn't you say it earlier? and this Shen ...... Does Shen Huan have such a cowhide? He actually dares not to go to our country for a tryout, thinking that he has the ability to play in the NBA and be your right-hand man?!"

The dignified general manager of the Lakers, he actually heard his boss Buss Jr. talk about it before he got on the plane.

Bass Jr. said that Kobe Bryant wants to sign a Chinese player, and it is said that he is a genius that Jordan agrees with.

Let Kupchak check it out, see him play two preseason games, and then sign if he can.

Anyway, the team is not short of this money, even if Kobe Bryant is dying, but his requirements must not be satisfied.

If it really doesn't work, give a contract of $1 million at most, and it should be like raising a waste who never plays.

Kupchak almost cried when he heard this.

Is this how I, the general manager, am being ignored?

Who are you going to sign, you told me at the last minute, and you let him come directly to our team's preseason, it's ...... Isn't that a joke?

The game went live and went out, if he was a piece of waste, wouldn't I have to take the blame?

Can it still be said that Kobe Bryant is blind?

I'm the only one who is blind!

In order not to be smashed every day in the future, he can only pester Kobe Bryant, wanting to know more about Shen Huan before making a decision.

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

"Where?" Kupchak asked.

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

But Iverson in the front row turned his head, "Hey, Mitch, don't worry, he won't let you down!

Kupchek sighed and decided not to speak to the two for the time being.

The group of players next to him also heard for the first time that a new teammate might join in, and they also had different faces.

In particular, shooting guard Louis Williams, as well as point guard Dengino Russell.

Originally, they didn't have to worry.

Last year's NBA Sixth Man of the Year was Louis Williams, whom the Lakers signed in July for three years and $21 million.

DenginoRussell is even more, he is this year's top eye, only 19 years old, the Lakers selected him and gave him a big contract of 4 years and 23.02 million US dollars, which was cultivated as Kobe's successor.

For example, the two of them, when Kobe Bryant just came back this year, were the main force of the rotation.

The two were originally going to assist Kobe Bryant and the new Iverson, and they did it for such a season, but they didn't expect that the first preseason game didn't start, and suddenly a Chinese player came out of nowhere, and he was still playing as a 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 Bryant and Iverson.

So when it's time for the game, do you say the two of them play a little bit more, or does this player play a little bit more?

On the NBA court, the playing time represents a player's status on the team, the size of the contract in the future, and the number of honors, which is unacceptable.

But the two of them combined, they can't compare to either Kobe Bryant and Iverson, where do you say they dare to say anything?

I can only hold my breath and see what is going on with this Chinese player.

If the technique is good...... What is the use of good technology? The physical fitness of the Chinese people can be compared with us?

No matter how good the technology is, just a crash!

A few years ago, those players from Huaguo came to the NBA, didn't they leave the NBA in such a gloomy way?

The general manager is tangled.

The players are curious and wary.

Head coach Byron Scott was even more embarrassed.

He is the head coach and a famous championship-level superstar in the NBA, but Kobe Bryant and Iverson are so faceless that they don't ask his opinion when selecting players, isn't this looking down on people?

But Byron Scott didn't get angry.

Because his results last season were so poor, without Kobe, the Lakers seemed to have lost their souls, and they didn't even enter the playoffs.

Without good grades, what qualifications does he have to be angry?

You try to see Don Nelson, Popovich, Pat Riley and other championship coaches, even Kobe, have to be scolded bloody.

But Byron Scott still buried his mind, if this Chinese player can't do it, then he won't give face.

Kobe Bryant, who returned from injury this year, and the new Iverson all made his eyes shine, and he felt as if these two superstars were still in their prime.

If you use the two of them well, you may be able to enter the Western Conference Finals!

As long as he can get this result, his position with the Lakers will be secure.

For that purpose, there's no way he's going to allow a player who isn't anything to come in, that would make the atmosphere in the team very bad!

That's it.

Restlessness, apprehension, curiosity, and annoyance up and down the Lakers...... In the midst of other emotions, the Lakers arrived at the training ground they had already booked without stopping after cleaning up in the hotel for a while.
