On the evening of October 11, 2015, Beijing time, the first leg of the NBA China Game officially kicked off.

Shenzhen Universiade Center Gymnasium, 20,000 people stadium full, Chinese obsession with basketball is still as fanatical as ever, dragging families with mouths are not a few, in the front row of the audience, Jet Li and other Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars arrived early, and even on the sidelines can see Hornets owner Michael Jordan.

This is the home court of the Hornets, as early as before the start of the game, the NBA official staff has already paved the field, and the 3D projection equipment on the side of the court is also ready, when the lights go out, the 3D projection image rolls quickly on the floor.

The moment the 3D effect came out, the scene was in an uproar, and for most of the Chinese fans present, this was the first time to get close to the opening ceremony of the NBA.

Tang Shuai was sitting on the sidelines at this time, and his heart couldn't keep up with the surging tide, the previous two preseason games, even the one in Vancouver, did not make such a big move, it seems that the NBA has really invested in the Chinese market.

After the 3D projection was played, the projection focused on the far right of the fieldside, where the mascot of the Hornets, a blue bee, waving the Hornets flag, which was three times larger than his body, was guided by the spotlight and ran from one end of the court to the other.

Flags fluttered in the air and live DJs started shouting out the team's names.

“Charlotte~~Hornets！！”

The fans burst into cheers, and they all got up from their seats excitedly.

This is the NBA at its real.

The bees ran to the other end of the court, but the lights didn't come on right away, and the live DJ read a narration to the cheers of the fans, and then began to introduce the Clippers players.

"CJ~Wilcox!"

The DJ called out his name, Wilcox got up from his seat, the spotlight hit him, and he waved from his seat to the middle of the right half.

A piece of Wilcox's exclusive music was also played.

In the opening ceremony of the NBA, no matter what your status on the team, as soon as you enter the team's rotation, you will have a piece of music that is typical of the NBA.

NBA player introductions are all based on the player's status in the team, and there are few people after Wilcox, and it is Tang Shuai's turn.

Before the introduction began, the music was current, and Tang Shuai chose the famous American rapper Kanye West's famous work "amazing", which is also one of the classic soundtracks of the NBA2K series.

“It’s.a.amazing~”

As the familiar melody sounded, Tang Shuai stood up from his seat, and the spotlight immediately hit him.

The DJ on the scene naturally knew that this was a Chinese game, and the next player to be introduced was Chinese, so it was also infinitely elongated when introduced.

"Don~~~~ handsome !!"

With the introduction of the DJ, the audience who had been holding back for a long time suddenly burst into a deafening shout, at least half of the fans present were coming for Tang Shuai, all of them were cheering desperately, and the super decibel shouts of 20,000 people seemed to overturn the roof of the entire stadium.

Tang Shuai couldn't help but boil his blood, no matter what his status in the league is now, as a Chinese, he is the absolute focus of attention in the Chinese competition.

Chinese basketball fans, like the calf protector character in the heart of the Chinese, will always be extremely paranoid support for their own people.

Tang Shuai stretched out his hand to signal to the audience, and the cheers that had exploded at the scene actually increased by another decibel, even drowning out the sound of the live DJ from the stereo.

The Clippers players on the sidelines were stunned, and it was the first time they had seen a bench player enjoy such a high salary, which was simply comparable to the league's top superstars, and maybe even surpassed.

However, they are all happy in their hearts, because Tang Shuai is here, and it is foreseeable that in this away game, they will attract more fan support than the home team.

The DJ's introduction continued, and by the time Griffin arrived, the cheers of the fans reached a high pitch. tide, but compared with Tang Shuai, it is obviously a lot weaker.

After the introduction of the players of the Clippers, followed by the players of the home team, the Hornets, compared to the Clippers, the home team of the Hornets received a lot less cheers, although the strength has increased in the past two years, but it is still not comparable to the popularity of the Clippers.

It's a spectacle in an NBA game, with the home team receiving so much cheers that the visitors lose.

However, it was not low throughout the whole process, and when the Chinese Jeremy Lin appeared, the cheers of the fans were still high.

After the players of both sides were introduced, the lights finally came on, and after a short warm-up of the players from both sides, the starting court was then on the field.

On the Clippers' side, Paul was injured and started in place of Reaves Jr., who also started his first game this season.

On the Hornets' side, Al Jefferson and Marvin Williams are on the inside, with Nicholas Batum up front and Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb on the outside.

As the game got underway, the fans began to focus on the field.

It was Jordan and Jefferson who jumped the ball.

Jefferson's low-post offensive skills are among the best in the league, but his bounce is not very good, and there is really no possibility of jumping to win against a physical man like Jordan.

The ball was flicked back into the Clippers' half court by Jordan, and after a few reversible shots, the ball was in the hands of Reaves Jr.

The Clippers attack first.

Tang Shuai sat on the court at this time and began to observe the starting lineup of the Hornets on the field.

Of the five Hornets players on the court, only Jefferson has an exclusive skill pack, a low-post back-to-back offensive pack, and in addition to him, Walker and Batum are all masters with only purple skill packs.

However, there were many more purple skill packs than he had seen before.

Walker alone has five, Batum is wearing a purple skill pack, French Pippen is really not called in vain, as for Lamb and Williams, they are relatively poor, but they are also masters with purple skill packs.

The Clippers are really not so easy to play against the Hornets without Paul and with low morale, and it will only be more difficult than the game against the Raptors.

Tang Shuai's judgment was right, after Paul was absent, Reeves adjusted the offensive center and used Griffin as a tactical offensive point.

Tang Shuai still agrees with this adjustment, as an inside line with a purple passing bag, Griffin is also a rare master of strategy.

But even if this adjustment is made, the Clippers fell into a completely passive scene not long after the opening, Jefferson played center, facing Jordan, and the footsteps were used one by one, plus Reaves Jr. was miserable in the face of Walker's defensive end, the two sides played more than half a quarter, and the Clippers fell behind by 8 points at 12:20, and the worst thing is that Reaves Jr. ate Walker's feints in the round just now and committed the second foul of the quarter.

Reeves stood up and called a timeout, his face solemn.
