After the training, the players on both sides left the training hall one after another.

Before leaving, Zhang Weiping pulled Sun Hao and said something.

The match will be broadcast live in China, and there will be an interview before the game for him to cooperate.

Sun Hao only noticed a detail at this time.

Although this game is only a summer league game, it is a very crucial game for domestic fans.

Because this is the first time that Chinese have appeared on an NBA team, and then played against the Chinese team.

It's more appealing than derby.

The first battle in front of the people of the whole country.

Sun Hao felt some pressure.

The Mavericks did not practice in the afternoon, and Sun Hao continued to practice his step-back steps and catch-and-shoot in the system.

Bell was nowhere to be seen, and most of them went to the training hall to practice.

Two hours before the start of the game, Sun Hao came out of the system, and Bell also returned.

Sweating profusely, I should have gone to training.

Sun Hao knew that he was withdrawn, so he didn't say much, said hello and went out.

After a casual bite to eat and a little rest, he went to the game.

He warmed up and found his touch, and soon there were fans entering one after another.

"Sun, can we take a picture?"

What Sun Hao didn't expect was that as soon as he walked to the sidelines, a fan came over with a camera.

Although he has only played one game, his performance in the first game seems to have accumulated a lot of fans for him.

However, at this time, the identity of the yellow race is helpful to Sun Hao, because his skin color is eye-catching, and his performance is more likely to be noticed.

Everything has a good side and a bad side, and if you do it right, it will develop on the good side.

Group photos, autographs, and people came over one after another.

Sun Hao coped with it calmly, he was used to it when he was in Europe.

"Our big star is there."

At this moment, Sun Hao heard a familiar voice.

He looked up and saw that it was Nelson Sr., and Cuban had arrived.

After he finished signing, old Nelson pulled Cuban over to greet Sun Hao.

Cuban really didn't have a fight, even if Sun Hao was just a rookie, not only shook hands with him, but also came to a strong hug.

It's no wonder Nowitzki will stay with the Mavericks for the rest of his career, such an owner is indeed rare.

However, in contrast, it was the old Nelson who liked Sun Hao even more, and said that he played well in the first game.

Sun Hao felt that he was really lucky to be able to play under him.

However, this is not the end.

Just after Cuban and Nelson Sr. went to the stand, after a while, two more old acquaintances came.

Nowitzki and Nash, they're here too!

This preseason game, the attention is a bit high.

Nowitzki came up and punched Sun Hao in the chest.

"I heard you scored 26 points in the first game, and Steve said he didn't lose unjustly."

Because he is also from Europe, he has true love for Sun Hao, the little brother.

"I didn't say it, I was thinking about winning it back."

Nash also smiled and stretched out his hand to Sun Hao.

The plastic friendship between him and Nowitzki is on full display.

After chatting with Nowitzki, Sun Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then his eyes lit up.

Although he has seen a lot of big scenes in both his previous life and this life, the attention of this summer league is much greater than he imagined.

It made him feel invisible pressure, but it also stimulated his competitiveness.

The spirit of Mamba is tempered into steel.

Before the warm-up began, Zhang Weiping pulled Sun Hao to do a pre-game interview as he said before.

"Hello viewers in front of the TV, I am in Los Angeles to bring you a pre-game interview of the Mavericks vs. the Chinese men's basketball team in the preseason.

Standing next to me is Sun Hao, Sun Hao, say hello to the domestic fans. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Sun Hao."

Sun Hao smiled and stretched out his hand to the camera to say hello as he spoke.

Just as he was greeting, in front of countless TVs in China, I don't know how many people were shouting excitedly.

Live Sun Haoye!

"What do you think of tonight's game, because today's opponent is special."

"I know that I watched the men's basketball team practice in the morning, and it was very strong, so it will be a very meaningful game."

"We know that because of the draft, you didn't make it to this Olympic training camp, will you participate in the national team later?"

"Of course, if the national team needs it later, I will definitely participate."

"We all know you scored 26 points in the last game, did you set a goal for yourself in this game?"

"30 points."

……

Sun Hao was selected by the NBA, and most domestic fans know him and his achievements in Europe.

But those concepts are all literal, and even Sun Hao, who only knows the name.

After all, at the time of the draft, Sun Hao's recognition was not so great.

But with the popularity of Su Qun's article "The Little Emperor Brings Talent to the NBA", and this time it was a game with the national men's basketball team.

This time is the peak of Sun Hao's attention, and so many people will sigh "living Sun Hao".

And after watching the pre-match interview, they really feel in love.

Chinese are often shy and shy in front of the camera, but Sun Hao is really different!

Definitely, 30 points, these words are full of decisiveness and confidence.

In fact, not to mention the fans in front of the TV, Yao Ming, who was about to warm up, was standing not far away, looking at Sun Hao with admiration in his eyes.

"Da Yao, warm up."

It wasn't until Wang Zhizhi came over and patted him that he withdrew his gaze, and then followed him on the field.

After Sun Hao was interviewed, he also began to warm up.

Maybe it was a little pressure after watching the men's basketball training yesterday, and during the warm-up, Alexander and Xavi both dunked several in a row.

The two are both rookies like Sun Hao, but they did not perform well in the last game, and they are also holding back their strength to prove themselves this time.

Towards the end of the warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were also released.

On the Mavericks' side, there is a change from the last game.

Bale was kicked out of the starting lineup and was replaced by another undrafted pick, Terrence Jefferson.

This is also the cruelty of NBA competition, especially for undrafted players, there may only be one chance.

Other positions have not changed, the point guard is still Sun Hao, the front line is still Alexander and Xavi, and the center Sanders.

On the Chinese men's basketball team, the outside line is Guo Shiqiang and Zhang Jinsong, small forward Sun Jun, and the inside line Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming.

After the warm-up, the two sides will shake hands before the game.

To be honest, Sun Hao's heart is still a little weird at this time, after all, he is playing for his own national team.

But it's also good to think about it.

He can familiarize himself with the men's basketball team in advance, and he will be familiar with it when he plays for the country in the future.

And for him too, it's an opportunity for him to show his quality in front of the fans and the national team.

In other words, the outcome of this game is secondary, and the first thing is how you can perform, that is, the process of the game.

After the warm-up, the two teams started one after another.

Yao Ming and Sanders' jump ball.

He is really tall, 2.23 meters, like a giant from a movie who came to reality.

Especially compared with the 2.08 meter Sanders, it seems to be even higher.

The fans at the scene couldn't help but stir.

When did China come out with such a giant center.

The referee blew the whistle, and Yao Ming put the ball back to the Chinese team's half court with his long arm, officially opening the game.

As soon as the Chinese team came up, they played a high and low position.

Yao Ming holds the ball in the high post, Wang Zhizhi is in the low post, and the defender runs around the bottom line interspersed with runs.

I have to say that the tactical literacy of this men's basketball team is really high.

The ball finally came to Wang Zhizhi's hand, he hit Harvey with his back, and turned around to wipe the board one after another with a feint to go out.

Xavi reacted very quickly, the first time he was shaken and the second time he was withdrawn, but he was not tall enough to interfere.

The basketball grabs the rebound and falls into the net pocket.

Wang Zhizhi won the first place for the Chinese team.

The Mavericks' offense advanced to the frontcourt, and Alexander didn't run tactics after receiving the ball, and directly took the ball and broke inside.

From the opening warm-up, you could feel that he was holding back his energy to prove himself.

Sun Jun's confrontation was not as good as Alexander's, and he broke into the free throw line.

However, the tactical literacy of the Chinese team is really high, and the assistance defense of the two wings will come over immediately.

Alexander...... chose to believe in himself and squeezed out of Sun Jun's emergency stop-and-throw throw.

He does have individual qualities and has earned himself a good chance to make a shot.

The ball goes over the defense.

"Bang!"

It's just that what people didn't expect was that he was greeted with a big hat!

Yao Ming's cap!

Before Alexander made a move, he was already a cat there!

The ball was covered by Sun Jun, Sun Jun threw it directly in the backfield, and the Chinese team had launched a fast attack.

Guo Shiqiang received the ball in the front court and assisted Zhang Jinsong, who followed up, to score two more points!

The Chinese team started 4-0!

And that's far from the end.

It's not just Alexander on the Mavericks' side, but Harvey has to prove himself as well.

The two of them took the ball and killed it, but they were all greeted by Yao Ming's head and face.

And after every block, as long as the ball falls into the hands of the Chinese team, it is a stormy defensive counterattack.

Even if there was no counterattack, Wang Zhizhi had the upper hand in the positional battle against Xavi.

Xavi is one of the few players in this era who can be three or four, but this fight is completely inconsistent.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 16-6.

Wang Zhizhi showed his true character as a boy chasing the wind and had scored a game-high 8 points.

Yao Ming also has excellent statistics of 2 points, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The pair of the Chinese team moved the Great Wall, attacking and defending, and the Mavericks were a little unable to find the north.

Harris was forced to call a timeout.

He had a big challenge in his coaching career.
