The Lakers have one last game to play, which is against the Golden State Warriors four days later.

This was seen as a rehearsal for the Western Conference Finals.

But because there was no Shen Huan to join, everyone felt that this game was a bit chicken.

Legend has it that superstars such as Curry and Durant of the Golden State Warriors will not play in the last game.

They took advantage of this rare opportunity to step up their rest and recuperation and prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

Shen Huan also knew that the Lakers also chose to give up.

None of the team's three elders will go to San Francisco, but will become a double leader to lead the team.

It is equivalent to the substitution of the two teams against the substitution, and the second team against the second team.

Kobe, Iverson and Howard all had to drink a muscle-strengthening bone cleansing decoction (intermediate) at Kobe's house in order to usher in the first round of the playoffs.

Shen Huan himself was like them, and began to go to the training ground on time every day to train very standardly.

The players of the Lakers team are the focus of media attention on weekdays, but when Shen Huan arrived, they knew what the world's No. 1 superstar was.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, when they arrived at the training ground an hour early, as usual, they saw hundreds of reporters and hosts standing densely outside, plus hundreds of cameras and various shooting equipment.

With such a dense crowd of reporters, Ingram and other recent players have only seen it in front of the TV.

When I think of this playoffs, there will be a large number of reporters chasing each other throughout the whole process, and they unconsciously get excited.

The NBA is a vanity fair.

The more journalists follow you, the more exposure you will have, the more people will know about you, and you will become more famous.

Being more famous not only means flowers and applause, but also more salary income, more advertising endorsement income, and so on.

Isn't that what all NBA players dream of?

Because of this vision, players such as Ingram have become more and more focused in training.

On the first day of training, Shen Huan was more about testing various physical functions, so that the professional trainers of the Lakers team could formulate a better recovery and enhancement plan for him.

When the results came out, everyone was surprised.

Whether it is a 50-meter switchback run, an instantaneous burst speed, or a breakthrough speed with the ball, Shen Huan is at least 20% stronger than last year's data.

It's not easy for any of the top basketball superstars to make even the slightest improvement.

It is not easy for human beings to get to the top of this industry, and if they want to go further, it takes more effort than ordinary people to become superstars.

But if you survive this hurdle, you'll be Abdul-Jabbar, you'll be Jordan, you'll be O'Neal......

You'll be past that era and be part of the whole history of basketball.

Obviously, few people do such a thing, otherwise everyone has become the top superstar of this era, and the word top superstar is not too ordinary?

Last year's Shen Huan was already exclaiming, not a human being.

As a result, now that he has improved again, who else in this world can stop him?

No.

Shen Huan's improvement is not only in terms of speed, but also in terms of his compatibility with basketball.

In terms of three-point shooting, shooting in the restricted area, grabbing rebounds and blocks, Shen Huan is unstoppable without exception.

Even Howard, the new little monster who joined this season, personally focused on defending under the basket, but he couldn't stop Shen Huan's shot.

Even Howard and Shen Huan collided in the air several times without believing in evil, and each time they ended up being knocked away.

When Howard was helped up, he spread out his hand with a wry smile: "I just hit the iron plate!"

In this season's preseason, Howard and Shen Huan trained together when they were in Huaguo, and at that time, Howard's condition was not at its best, and he didn't even drink the muscle-strengthening bone marrow washing decoction (intermediate), of course, he didn't dare to have such a high-intensity confrontation with Shen Huan.

Now Howard feels that he has maintained at least 70% of his peak state, but he was still knocked away by Shen Huan, which has to admire Shen Huan's physical fitness.

Five years ago, when Howard was at his peak physically, there was no one who could compare with him physically, and no one in the league at that time had any!

That's why he became a monster.

But today Howard discovered that even if his body returns to its peak, I am afraid it will not be able to compare to Shen Huan.

It made him a little decadent, but at the same time full of joy.

At the age of 31, Howard is much more mature than before.

He will no longer pursue "loyalty" to the team and fans, and will not pay attention to some ridiculous righteousness.

What he needs is a real championship.

Otherwise, he is such a league superstar, and when he retires, he doesn't have an NBA championship ring, and when he looks back on it later, will he feel that he was too much of a failure?

Therefore, after thinking twice, Howard jumped out of the contract, gave up the contract with the Rockets for more than 20 million a year, and came to the Lakers with a low salary.

What he was thinking at the time was that with the good framework of the Lakers, even if Shen Huan was gone, he would have a lot of impact on the championship if he had his own position to fill Shen Huan.

In fact, there are still safer ways, such as him joining the Cavaliers with a shy face, or joining the Golden State Warriors.

This will give you a better chance of winning the championship.

But the 31-year-old Howard is not the same as the 36-year-old Howard.

At that time, Howard may have huddled with other superstars to keep warm because of the urgency of his retirement date.

But now Howard is only 31 years old, and he still has the pride and dream of winning the championship with his own hard work.

Joining the Lakers means that he is the superstar of the Lakers with the most responsibility and pressure, and he needs to put in a lot of hard work and hardship to win the championship!

Warcraft is fully prepared for this.

However, Howard didn't expect that not long after he joined the Lakers, and before the new season began, Shen Huan announced that he was back.

What Shen Huan means when he returns to the Lakers, Howard is clear and clear.

That's the championship you've already won!!

This result was not obtained by Howard holding his legs, but came unintentionally after he decided, so Howard did not have any shame at all.

That's what God is going to give me a championship!

That's what Howard thought at the time.

Now, looking at Shen Huan, who is training vigorously on the field, Howard has become more and more firm in this belief!
