As the sun sets, the lights come on, the Pudong Yuanshen Stadium is lively, and groups of fans begin to enter the basketball arena with tickets, and the third preseason game of the Orlando Magic, against the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club, is about to begin.

To be honest, at this time in 12 years, the domestic basketball conditions are still relatively lagging behind, as far as the stadium is concerned, Pudong Yuanshen Gymnasium is not an independent professional basketball stadium, and the indoor area is not sufficient, with only 3000 fixed seats plus 2000 activity seats, even if the stadium is full today, the atmosphere on the scene is still far less than the NBA, even if the Milwaukee Bucks, Oklahoma City Thunder and other small ball cities are far more than that, not to mention the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks such as big ball cities.

The development of any sport is inseparable from the cultivation of soil, and for China, the atmosphere of basketball is still a little less interesting, but this is something that Da Yao should worry about, and Chen An does not have such a worrying mind.

At seven o'clock, about a quarter of an hour before the start of the game, Chen An sat in the coach's seat very easily, watching the players warm up on the field.

This game is very relaxing for both him and the players, no one worries about the result or anything, which is also reflected in the daytime training session, the morning training session is held here, on the one hand, it is also to familiarize himself with the court, and Chen An, who has always been stern with a cold face, rarely joked with the players in the morning training session, and also made some small games.

"Jason, is there anything special for today's game?"

Seeing that the game was about to start, Cole, who was sitting next to him, asked Chen An's opinion, Chen An nodded, and said: "The first half is still according to the original tactical plan and rotation, if the intensity of the game is lower than expected, the second half will be closed." ”

It's not that Chen An looks down on the Shanghai team, it's really that the level of the two sides is really not on the same line, and now the Shanghai team is a fish belly in the CBA league, and the two teams are really not comparable.

That's right, it's the general Gilbert who once played against Kobe Bryant, cut 60+, joined the Magic last season but was pardoned halfway. Arenas. This guy became unpopular this summer because of the gungate incident, and in the end, in order to prove himself again, this guy chose to come to the CBA and joined Shanghai.

Cole obviously knew about Arenas's situation, and joked: "I heard before that Gilbert has joined the Shanghai team, and some media say that this game will be his revenge battle, don't take the enemy too lightly, don't make any jokes at that time." ”

"We'll see."

Chen An's old god hugged his arms while he was there, and he didn't say anything else, waiting for the game to start.

A quarter of an hour later, the game was about to begin, and after the grand entrance ceremony, the players from both sides stood on the court, and the Magic side still had a fixed starting lineup, with Harden and Lillard as the twin stars, Harris and Anderson as the front, and JJ Hickson as the center.

The Shanghai team sent a pair of foreign aids, small foreign aid Arenas, big foreign aid DJ White, Liu Wei partnered with Arenas to form the backfield, long-haired brother Zeng Wending served as a small forward, and Zhang Zhaoxu was in the center.

Speaking of Liu Wei, it's really embarrassing, this guy is Da Yao's queen passer in the national team, the Sacramento Kings coveted the Chinese market, and they also had an idea on Liu Wei, and tried out Liu Wei in 04, and then gave a non-guaranteed contract, with this gimmick, the king also came to China.

However, Liu Wei's NBA journey only lasted two games, and then he was cut, and his performance was too poor, which can be called disastrous, and the most impressive thing is that Liu Wei came off the bench in the fourth quarter in the second game of the Kings, and then made three turnovers in three minutes, and there was no other contribution, which is no wonder the Kings finally gave up on him.

"Toot!"

With a whistle, the game officially began, the referee in the middle line threw the ball high, the Shanghai team jumped the ball is DJ. White, this guy is full of energy to show himself, almost at the moment when the whistle sounds, he jumped high, but unfortunately this guy's speed is comparable to the jumping man JJ Hickson?

Hickson slammed up like a spring, don't look at the two of them are 2.06 meters, but Hickson still has an advantage in arm span, coupled with his super speed, but he hit the basketball first, and then Lillard caught the ball steadily.

It's still the old routine, Lillard didn't bother to be lucky after receiving the ball, and handed it to Harden directly with a ground pass, Harden took the ball and swayed through the half, but he wanted to come slowly, the opponent didn't do it, and he saw Arenas as if he was playing chicken blood, and Harden rushed up with a posture of wanting to fight just after halftime.

It's just that Harden's figure is known to everyone, the big ass pouted against Arenas and opened the way forward, and after he was about to reach the three-point line, his shoulders shook to make an illusion of accelerating the breakthrough, Arenas instantly rushed to block, but saw Harden pull back the ball, directly threw off Arenas half a step, and then used a back step smartly under his feet, returned to the distance of half a step outside the three-point line, and then didn't hesitate to raise his hand to make a three-point shot, Arenas desperately turned around to block, but after all, it was half a second short, and the basketball jumped over his fingertips and flew to the basket.

Swish!

Basketball hollow into the net, 3:0.

Arenas had a look of annoyance, for him, this game is quite meaningful, but he never thought that he would be scored by Harden as soon as he came up to score three points***, the key is that after the ball was scored, Harden looked at him while retreating, and the little eyes seemed to say: The era that belongs to you has passed, you can take root in the CBA with peace of mind.

How can Arenas stand it?

Arenas immediately went to the bottom line to ask for the ball, Liu Wei sent the ball to him, this guy immediately advanced to the front court like a gust of wind, and then faced Lillard who came up to defend, Arenas was a little contemptuous, in his eyes Lillard was just a rookie.

So Arenas decided to show off and saw him with a cross-step crotch. After dribbling, he was ready to change direction in front of the individual, but before he could change direction and accelerate, he heard a snap, but it was Lillard who slapped the basketball away.

Without waiting for Arenas to react, Lillard staggered and picked up the ball and accelerated to the empty frontcourt, Arenas reacted and hurriedly turned around to prepare for the block, but with an old knee injury, how could he catch up with Lillard's young legs?

Almost in a flash of lightning, Lillard rushed into the three-point line in the front court, listening to the familiar footsteps behind him, Lillard did not look back, his right hand was raised, and the basketball was thrown to the rebound above the basket, after rebounding, I saw a figure passing by Lillard, it was Harris!

This guy just crossed the free throw line and jumped up, soaring in the air like a goshawk, and after catching the rebounding basketball steadily, this guy came to a 180-degree turn in the air, and then poured the ball in with his back to the basket!

180-degree rotation in the air and empty back buckle.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

With the sound of the basket vibrating, the scene was instantly detonated, and the voices of more than 5,000 people went back and forth as if they were going to blow up the Pudong Yuanshen Gymnasium.

Harris turned around excitedly and slapped Lillard, the players on the Magic side were extremely relaxed, with smiles on their faces, and the players on the Shanghai side were also very relaxed, everyone knew in their hearts, it was not a heavyweight opponent, this game was almost an exhibition game.

Only Arenas stood on the halfway line with a lonely face, he knew that his time had passed, and he was no longer the only general who could compete with Kobe Bryant and score 60 points as a visiting team at Staples Arena.
