According to the latest official news from the Lakers, Nolan Snoll, the sixth overall pick, will play in the game against the Kings, which will be his first NBA game.

Knoll has been recuperating from surgery for more than nine months since he tore a torn meniscus in his left knee during a Kentucky match against Florida on Feb. 12.

I'm sure he's very eager to play.

And Knoll, as the original champion favorite, believes that everyone is looking forward to his debut performance. ”

After ESPN got the news from the Lakers, it immediately expressed its opinion on Noll's comeback and expressed great concern.

And as soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of basketball fans all over the world.

The reason for this situation is not because of how influential and well-known Noll is, but because of the price the Lakers paid to get him in the first place.

That is, it needs to be traced back to the three-way trade initiated by the Lakers, 76ers, and Cavaliers on the 27th of last month.

In that trade, two rookies were involved, Bennett and Knoll. Through the trade, the Lakers eventually acquired Noll, but for this reason, they sent next year's first-round pick and starting center Carman, who has been criticized for being stupid.

Too many people think that Knoll's value is completely unmatched to a first-round pick in a draft year, plus Chris Kaman, who has some instant power. Therefore, everyone is looking forward to what kind of performance Knoll can play after entering the NBA. Thus it can also prove that the Lakers' trade is a profit or a loss.

Now, almost a month into the season, the expectations of the fans have finally come true, so the attention is definitely huge.

"If the Lakers are going to play the Kings, then Knoll will face Cousins, and considering Cousins' size, this may be a big test for him. Actually, I'm a little worried that Knoll will be ruined by Cousins, which will definitely make him lose his self-confidence. After all, his career has only just begun, so I thought I'd better pray for him. ”

When it comes to the Lakers and Kings game, Barkley looks sympathetic, as if he doesn't want to see certain images. Obviously, when he said this, it also shows that he is not very optimistic about Knoll. At least for the extremely thin Knoll at this stage, he is not very optimistic.

"How's your preparation, Nolens?"

Chu Xuan appeared beside Noll, and in the dark player's tunnel, he couldn't see Noll's expression.

However, Chu Xuan felt that Noel was very excited now, so he decided to talk to Noel to relieve his nervousness.

"Chu, my heart is beating like a car racing to 180 yards. Well, I'm a little nervous. This day, after all, is too important and special for me, and it will mean a lot. Knoll said truthfully.

When they heard Knoll say this, the other players burst into laughter, and for the first time, they felt that this big man was honestly cute.

"Rookie, this is normal. It's like the first time you're with a woman, and you're so excited that you don't know what you're doing. But, as a man, you have to get over it. Then you will be able to appreciate how wonderful it is. ”

Whiteside laughed the hardest, but he didn't mean anything mocking. Noll's honesty made him lose his starting position, and he suddenly felt that it would be very interesting to get along with Noll.

When Chu Xuan heard Whiteside's laughter, he knew that these guys were going to play tricks on Noll.

"Hey, Hassan, you can't call Norens that. Because you're a rookie, too. ”

As soon as Whiteside heard Chu Xuan say this, he immediately retorted: "How can I be a rookie, I passed that stage a few years ago. I think everyone agrees on this. ”

Chu Xuan smiled: "Really? But I think you should be counted as a rookie as well. I think they all agree with that. Steve, what do you think? ”

In the darkness, Nash's voice sounded: "Chu, it seems to be." ”

After hearing Nash say this, Whiteside suddenly screamed helplessly.

The others laughed again when they heard Whiteside deflated.

In the midst of laughter, Knorr, who had been listening to the bickering of his teammates, suddenly found that the tension in his heart was slowly disappearing.

"How's it going? Nolens? Chu Xuan's voice sounded.

"Chu, it seems that there is no problem." Knoll replied.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile: "Since there is no problem, let's go in." ”

Noll nodded in the darkness, took a deep breath, and strode out.

The darkness turned to light, and the noise was everywhere, which was different from the atmosphere of the college competition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the young man from the University of Kentucky, Noren Snoll. Today he will give us passion with his defense. ”

In the midst of the DJ's infectious sound, the spotlight shines down and falls on Knorr.

Suddenly, on the big screen, Noel's figure and his serious expression appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next up is Ryan Kelly from Duke University, who has the same projection skills as a German tank."

……

At the Staples Center, the players ran out one by one amid constant cheers, and finally, when Steve Nash ran out, the atmosphere was extremely hot.

The scene suddenly became bright, and when the players warmed up, the atmosphere began to cool down slightly.

In the process, highlights of the Lakers and Kings began to play on the big screen above.

"Chu, in today's game, I think we can make a little bet about the rookie Nolens."

Sitting on the sidelines, Kobe Bryant, who was wearing a suit, had nothing to do, so he shifted his attention to Chu Xuan.

Hearing Kobe Bryant's words, Chu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately laughed: "Kobe, what do you want to bet on?" I'm not afraid of you. ”

Kobe Bryant showed a handsome smile: "Bet on his performance today, if you lose, let me play in the next game." ”

Chu Xuan was stunned, and immediately understood that Kobe Bryant was playing attention to wanting to play.

"Kobe, as much as I would love to bet with you, you have to know that I can't make decisions about whether or not you play."

Hearing Chu Xuan say this, Kobe Bryant immediately rolled his eyes: "Chu, do you think I will believe it?" You'll always have your way of convincing Phil to them. I don't think you dare to make this bet with me, you're afraid of losing to me. ”

"Uh, damn it, how could I be afraid of losing? Kobe, let's take a gamble. You say, what are we betting on? ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Kobe's eyes, "Just bet on how many rebounds Nolens can grab in today's game?" Let's start with the best guess and the one closest to the answer is the winner. I'll guess first, I'll pick 8. ”

Chu Xuan smiled: "Kobe, I have to say that you completely seized the opportunity, but I still feel that your answer is not as correct as mine." Hey, I'll pick 9. ”
