After arriving at the hotel, it didn't take long for Jackson to tell all the Lakers players to go out for dinner together. Everyone was excited, but the excitement was different......

Kobe Bryant is happier here, but fortunately, the unhappy things have passed with last season. It's a brand new season, and Odom is a nice guy! And he has a good relationship with Odom too!

He hopes that the "shark slashing tactic" will let the big shark go down in the first quarter...... He's still good with Odom! O'Neal doesn't want to be like a "left-handed magician" who always passes the ball to him.

The other players are basically happy for the arrival of the new season, because there are games to play again~ You can't take too long to rest, and you want to return to the field after a long time......

Zhou Yang is different from them. In the past, he had only watched NBA games on TV, and as long as such games were played well, even the blue-collar players here could get a million salaries a year!

And the main team or the superstars in the league get even more! Now, a salary of $10 million is a staggering number!

......

"It's been a long time since we've eaten together, haven't we?" Jackson said with a smile. They arrived at a large hotel, which was just enough to accommodate more than 20 of them, including a few staff members.

"It's easy to say that you have a treat, we can get together again after the game~" After Fisher finished speaking, the other players immediately laughed~ The atmosphere in the room is good~ This is also what Jackson wants to see.

They didn't come to Detroit like they were about to play, but like a team coming on vacation......

Because some of the players are eating according to the dietitian's instructions, there are several players who don't eat much, but O'Neill is quite happy to eat, and he is also the player who eats the most this time......

The atmosphere before the season was never the same last season, not even for a day. At that time, the Zen master had a hard time every day. said that the psychiatrist had more contact with Ao Fat and Kobe. During that time, Jackson himself was chatting with the psychiatrist frequently.

Sometimes the season's games seem to be easy, and they can win more than 20 of the 30 games easily! And sometimes teams that don't seem strong can lose, and the contradictions always seem to come together.

There aren't many games like this in the whole season. There were only a few fights, and it was over in a few days. Then the regular season will be played right away.

During the long regular season, the players have to meet all the teams and play as well as possible in a tense atmosphere before they get into the playoffs. Naturally, the players have better physical strength during the long vacation, but when there is a back-to-back situation, the fatigue will follow.

In the playoffs, no one is sure that they will make it to the finals or the finals. But now the pre-season is more interesting, and the players basically find it more interesting.

Because in the current league, the preseason may not change much for the entire regular season. Because some coaches are still the same as before, the main players occupy most of the game, and the substitutes can only wait for the opponent to finish the game like some players in the snooker game, and then the day is over.

The lucky substitutes will get some playing time, but unless they are very good, it will be difficult for their manager to notice.

For a manager like a Zen master, he can do a decent job of this. That is to give some opportunities to players who have potential or are very consistent in the team. But the main players are still the protagonists on the field.

Therefore, the current preseason game is also called a "show" or a "dream" by some players. Because if the substitutes run into an old-school manager, he will only let the bench play longer in the preseason.

Although there weren't many fans at Auburn Hills Palace Stadium today. But Zhou Yang still feels very good! The people who can watch the game today are basically die-hard fans of both teams.

The ticket price is not expensive, but such a game is basically a warm-up for the players of both sides, and the substitutes play hard for a while before it is over. But there are fans who want to see which players on this year's Pistons or Lakers can play well!

Because of Zhou Yang's arrival, there are more fans in the stadium today! They were mainly there to see Zhou Yang. Yao Ming's name and Zhou Yang's name are painted on the large wooden board......

"I won't say how the new players play, Odom, Kobe, you two don't take each other seriously. That's it, let's go up~" After the Zen master finished speaking, he turned his head and began to chat with the assistant coaches from the coaching staff. Everyone looked relaxed.

The fans are starting to get a little excited now! Because they saw Zhou Yang appear on the court for the first time wearing a Lakers uniform! This strong Asian player, who has spread in college, is now playing in the NBA!

Today's Pistons lineup is Rashid, Milicic, Hamilton, Billups, Evans. On the Lakers' side, Odom, Zhou Yang, Cook, Kobe and Fisher!

At the beginning of the game, Rashid got the basketball and passed the ball to Billups, who threw a three-pointer directly in the frontcourt!

Bryant saw the ball here and played the front court himself, breaking through and scoring under the defense of Billups and Hamilton! Seeing this, the Zen master suddenly covered his head. This game has just begun, how can Kobe Bryant compete with the other party.

After Hamilton got the ball, he passed Cook directly, but was stopped by Zhou Yang! Milicic's jumper was directly covered by Zhou Yang after receiving his pass!

After seeing Kobe Bryant asking for the ball, he immediately passed the ball to him! Kobe Bryant received a direct three-point shot from the basketball frontcourt! At this time, the Zen master directly asked for a pause. Zhou Yang came up and gave Milicic of the same age a big hat! Although the young Pistons player is the same age as Zhou Yang, he has been in the NBA for more than two years!

He was the 2nd pick in the first round of the 03 session! The champion of the year was the little emperor, and he was the one in second place! But this player didn't play much time after arriving at the Pistons, but he played okay.

As soon as he got on the court, Milicic was shocked by the Lakers' Asian player wearing the No. 15 jersey! Didn't he just go to defend Hamilton? How did you get to him so quickly and cap him!

"Kobe Bryant went to O'Neal's and enjoyed today's game~ Aaron, you score for a while. The whole team pays attention, everyone relaxes, this is not the finals......"

Jackson may have felt that this opponent could easily remind the Lakers' veteran players of the 2004 Finals. So let Aaron, who is new to the Lakers this season, replace Kobe.

The Pistons didn't make any player adjustments when they came back again. And the Lakers' Kobe Bryant has already gone down to "rest". The opposing team's Hamilton and Billups are both on the field......

The players also know what the Zen master means, in the preseason, there is no need to fight with them at the beginning. But the new player who joined the Lakers can not be considered.

Evans dribbled the ball to the front court, and Milicic immediately became cautious when he got the ball again! When he used his nimble steps to feel that he had gotten rid of Kai Zhou Yang, suddenly Odom came, remembering the loud blood cap!!

"Smack!" The sound of his palm slapping heavily on the ball startled Zhou Yang, and just now his attention was all on Milicic.

"Zhou Yang~ gave me a chance!" Odom happily ran over. During these days, as long as he and Zhou Yang are on the same team in the intra-team competition, Zhou Yang will pass the ball to him.

It's not that Zhou Yang is biased towards him, but that only Odom is more reliable in the situation at that time! But Odom didn't think so, he was now looking at the young man in a completely different light!

Although the Asian player looks a little younger. But on the court, his ball quotient is very high! In terms of handling the ball, Odom, who has already played in the NBA for 5 ideas, was a little surprised.

The ball quotient feels a little hard to find. Some players have strong personal ability, but just because his ball quotient is not high enough, he always gives people a reckless feeling on the court! This feeling is sometimes a test of the manager's affection for you!

If your manager doesn't like reckless players, he'll gradually cut back on the playing time of such players. Because no one wants a player to come up and fight around, right?

But a player with a high ball quotient is different, not only can he master the balance when he attacks, but he can also cooperate with his teammates to complete the attack at some times! But Zhou Yang didn't do anything just now......

He didn't expect Milicic to move quite quickly on his feet, but both men paid too much attention to each other, and as a result, Odom was given a chance! Odom thought that Zhou Yang deliberately slowed down to attract Milicic's attention...... I didn't keep up with my distraction, okay......

Cook scores a jumper after getting Aaron's pass in the frontcourt! 7：3！ At the beginning of the game, the Pistons only scored one three-pointer. They didn't expect the Lakers players to play really well.

Hamilton took the basketball, passed it quickly from Cook, and immediately scored a layup!

In the 5 intra-team confrontations some time ago, Zhou Yang averaged 6.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 5 appearances per game! Such data has allowed the Zen master to lock in his spot in the first game of the regular season in advance! He'll definitely be able to go up in the first game, it's just a matter of when.

Jackson didn't pay much attention to the scoring and rebounding statistics, but Zhou Yang's 4.5 average assists per game data allowed the Zen master to directly lock him in this spot.

Aaron dribbled to the front court and passed directly to Zhou Yang after seeing that Cook and Fisher had no suitable chances. Zhou Yang suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Milicic, and at this time, the yellow-haired Milicic laughed in his heart!

It turns out that Zhou Yang is nothing more than that! Just when he was already making a big defensive move, he watched the basketball pass to Odom......

Rashid is not a dry eater either! He saw Odom get the basketball and immediately resisted to get Odom off! And at this moment, Evans didn't look at Fisher, who received Odom's pass and hit a three-point shot directly! 10：5！

The Pistons fans at the scene were dumbfounded...... Why do these players on the Lakers look like they've been working together for years? It's not scientific......

"Odom, you've made a beautiful pass!!" Even Kobe, who had been sitting there watching the game coldly, couldn't help but stand up and shout to the players on the field.

Now for Kobe Bryant, Zhou Yang's pass to Odom is completely deserved, and he should be like this. Odom is different, since he came to the Lakers, he has felt that this guy is tall and flexible.

The Pistons called for a timeout straight after the ball.

......

"It's not regular season time, so I don't care where you go to entertain tonight~" Jackson casually chatted with everyone in the locker room for a while before leaving......

Zhou Yang was shocked! Is it so casual?!

"Zhou Yang! You haven't been in Detroit yet, have you? I'll take you ......," Odom grinned at the Asian player he had a crush on, and as he spoke, Bryant tapped him on the shoulder.

"He's still a newcomer, does the newcomer understand? Don't make him lose the heart to play," Kobe Bryant put his arm around Odom's shoulders after finishing speaking, and a few Lakers players joked and went out like that......

"I didn't go, and my personal doctor told me that I had been overeating lately and told me to control my diet. Tonight is my weight loss time ~ This place in Detroit is quiet at times and ...... at night Why don't we go out for a walk, you know, when I'm quiet now, it's not what the private doctor says, but where the food is?! Don't laugh, let's go~ Vujasic, Aaron, let's take a few walks~"

In the end, the Pistons won 82-69 against the Lakers. In the second half, Odom, O'Neal, and Kobe sat until the end of the game......

In this game, Milicic on the Pistons' side got 10 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists! Evans had 16 points and 4 assists, and Prince had 17 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist! The Lakers' Odom had 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 assists! Zhou Yang 12 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block! Wharton had 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals!

In the game, Zhou Yang's shooting touch was not very good, but he played an important role in the operation of the team! However, unlike the Pistons, the Lakers' main players did not play much time in this game.

The Pistons still had three main players in the fourth quarter who were replaced with less than five minutes left in the game.

The Lakers split into two groups that night. A bunch of people don't know where they went. The other Bo O'Neal was joking around the city of Detroit until late at night before taking a taxi back to the hotel. And by this time, Odom and they hadn't come back yet.

"Hey, hello~ Where are you looking...... Are you ......" Zhou Yang was suddenly stunned when he received the call. Although it was an unfamiliar number, the voice inside was familiar.

"Don't you know who I am? I'm in Los Angeles~ You're coming to pick me up? The voice on the other end of the phone became soft, and there was a bit of a coquettish feeling. It doesn't sound very old, but it sounds good. It also gives people a more comfortable feeling.

"Did you make the wrong call?" Zhou Yang still didn't think about it.

"Zhou Yang, I've been to your house. Have you forgotten everything? ”
