Popovich certainly had an impression. Isn't this young man who is now wearing the No. 15 Lakers purple and gold jersey the Asian core forward from the Pennsylvania State Nitany Lions?

In fact, when Zhou Yang participated in the draft, there were still a considerable number of teams that didn't take him too seriously. Unlike Yao Ming, after the identity of the champion show, all kinds of exposure and attention followed!

Yao Ming's personal influence is also increasing rapidly! And his personal ability is not low! From the past to now, Yao Ming should be regarded as the most successful Asian player in the NBA!!

Like the Mavericks, Spurs, and Jazz at that time, they basically wanted Zhou Yang to open up the Chinese market for themselves! But whether or not to let him play has not been decided, and he has begun to fight for this kid.

The pioneers even laid off Zhou Yang directly. They think that this guy is a piece of chicken ribs when he arrives at the team, and it is better to just fire him than that. But I didn't expect it! After stepping into the NBA, this Asian player actually made people see Yao Ming's shadow in terms of ability!

O'Neill is very fond of this young man! At the press conference, even during the period when he was hospitalized, some reporters went to interview the big shark and praised Zhou Yang! The situation is reminiscent of Kobe Bryant's arrival with the Lakers a few years ago......

Someone asked Ao Fat if he would have a conflict with Zhou Yang in the future, and the big shark smiled easily and shook his head there silently. No one knows what he means.

The shark feels like he's slowing down, he's getting more injured, he's getting older, he's getting more passing. It's not me anymore in the magic period. Although he still has an unshakable top form in the league!

But this state is gradually declining, will Zhou Yang be the next Kobe Bryant in terms of attitude, he and Bryant were so good back then. He can't give an answer to this himself, so he can only rely on time to prove it. But can you really wait for that moment?

Although there is not much coverage in the league now, as long as anyone who watches basketball often can find that Yao Ming of the Rockets, Howard of the Magic and Gasol of the Grizzlies are considered to be the next batch of super centers after O'Neal! The power of Warcraft was so terrifying that he was quite sought after as soon as he arrived in the Alliance!

Now Kuban's mood is rather depressed...... Nowitzki's words to him before the draft are often remembered by himself. That's the potential of Zhou Yang, when the Trailblazers announced the expulsion of Zhou Yang, there were several teams in the middle that could contact him immediately!

But in the end, the Lakers signed him with a 3-year, 10-million-level contract like a star! During that time, there were also teams that were laughing at the Lakers and saying that their team was now only an eyeball. But what about now?

In this rookie, Zhou Yang's current scoring data ranks first in the league! The first rookie rebounder is Howard! And the one with the highest assist is Queen Bee Paul! Such a result also proves once again the vision of the agent Leon!

He signed two players on this year's rookie list with three statistics! Zhou Yang and Paul did not disappoint him, let alone become a joke.

......

"It was a good first quarter, and now all you have to do is hold the Spurs as long as you can. Don't let them pull the difference apart. Don't try to be faster than the Spurs in terms of tempo, and I repeat, don't try to chase the opposition's tempo......"

The score was 26:23 after the first quarter! Parker hit a three-point shot on the final shot! The Spurs players are a little strange, what is the situation with the Lakers like this? Now they can be said to be the "new generation of Lakers"!

In the current impression, whether it is players from other teams or fans, as long as the Los Angeles Lakers mention, there are two people that immediately come to mind, O'Neal and Kobe. And in the quarter just after the game, Odom and Zhou Yang are just like the new leaders of the Lakers now, playing with them on the court!

"Mime and Zhou Yang, you two still have to pay special attention to Duncan's rebounding scramble, and the guards here you have to shoot more on the outside and go in less on the inside! Cook, you pass the ball more. On the offensive side, give the defenders and Zhou Yang more ......"

Not long after returning to the team, Cook knows what drastic changes have happened to his team! That is, the status of Zhou Yang and Vujacic in the team has risen very quickly! And Odom is still the third member of the team in addition to the "OK combination"!

Listening to the Zen master's arrangement, what else can he complain about. It's nice to be able to play!

"Duncan, you have less points, everyone hurry up and break points, otherwise we will lose......" Popovich's attitude was different. Is it okay to play like this with the other party?

After coming back in the second quarter, the lineup on the Lakers' side is Meme, Zhou Yang, Cook, Vujasic, and Smush! The Spurs are Duncan, Robert, Finley, Van Exel and Brent in that order!

The San Antonio squad went down to rest. Popovich's intentions are clear, on the one hand, he wants his team to outperform their opponents as much as possible in the first half! On the other hand, he has already figured out how to deal with it in the later games!

Now Parker and Demon Knife are the time when they can fight! It's nothing if they play for 40 minutes or so! But Popovich still compressed their playing time, one is to let them recover their strength, after all, the current opponent is not very strong, and the other is to hope to be able to give the Lakers critical damage in the later games!

Zhou Yang was a little unhappy when he saw that Duncan was still on the court. This guy actually provoked himself at the beginning of the game! Rookie Duncan shuddered when he saw Zhou Yang......

The new players are in a different state of mind from the Spurs' main players, and they have seen the performance of the Lakers in the first quarter! If you want to fulfill the manager's requirements in this section, you can only attack the opponent with more force!

Duncan ran over himself after serving to Brent. In the first quarter, Zhou Yang had already let himself go~ The reason why he played like this also knew that it was difficult for a team like the Spurs to win.

In this case, it is better to let go and fight with the other party~ Now Zhou Yang wants to know what it will be like when his qualifications reach B-level and A-level! I have just been promoted from the peak of D-level to C-level, and I can already play a certain state!

The point is that now he finds that the number of mistakes he has also decreased, and only 3 mistakes in the last game! And in this game he made more mistakes. But still ferocious!

The Zen master knew that if Zhou Yang was allowed to go down now, it was estimated that the other party would immediately think that the Lakers were going to start training...... Maybe the two teams are going to go into garbage time in the second quarter.

Finley didn't have a jumper after getting the ball! Zhou Yang got the rebound next to Duncan and passed the ball to Odom, who saw that Duncan's speed was fast enough, so he directly hit the ground and passed the ball to the hands of Vujacic behind him!

In order not to let Duncan take the lead! Zhou Yang didn't care whether Vujasic's ball went in or not, and he jumped up immediately! After the three-point pop out of the frame, Zhou Yang was already in a state of decline, but he still got the rebound, and directly shook off the opponent with a fake move from Duncan and threw it to score!

"Are all the newcomers so strong now?" Duncan immediately laughed and said to his teammates, but Parker and Ginobili watched him quietly, and no one on the court replied to Duncan's words......
