Chapter 393: Lakers VS Warriors
In the first game of the preseason, fans must be most concerned about the overall strength of the current Lakers team, although the preseason is not counted in the regular season record, and the teams will not take the preseason too seriously, but at least the potential of the Lakers can be seen through the preseason. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At eight o'clock that night, the Staples Arena was already crowded, and the league's most prestigious arena had not been so lively in recent years, except for the home game where Kobe Bryant finally retired.
Many Lakers fans didn't buy tickets to enter the stadium, it's not that they didn't want to buy them, it was too difficult to buy, even if there were scalper tickets, the ticket price was unbearable for ordinary people, and these fanatical fans had no choice but to cheer for the home team Lakers outside the arena!
When Sun Dahei and the Lakers appeared at the Staples Arena, the fans at the scene set off overwhelming cheers, they had been looking forward to it for so long, and finally looked forward to this Lakers team with the appearance of kings!
Especially Sun Dahei, who appeared in the finale, raised the atmosphere of the scene to a climax, and many fans shouted Sun Dahei's name hoarsely.
Sun Dahei opened his arms and waved to the fans at the scene! Look up at the pages of flags hanging high above Staples Arena.
Countless championship flags, countless retired jerseys, full of the weight of history, all show the glory of the Lakers, the top giant!
Sun Dahei looked at those championship flags and retired jerseys, and looked forward to the day when he would bring championship flags to this stadium and hang his No. 88 jersey on the top of Staples Arena permanently!
……
The spirit of the Lakers is very good, the new season is new, the Lakers are not what they used to be, and now this lineup is definitely the top in the league, every player is full of energy, and he has enough energy to play his own style in the first game of this preseason.
"Daikoku, how do you feel?" Little Wharton and Sun Dahei appeared at the same time, standing next to Sun Dahei, and asked Sun Dahei with a smile.
When any NBA player enters Staples Arena for the first time, he will definitely be shocked by so many glory flags, although it is not the first time that Sun Dahei has come to Staples Arena, but this is the first time he has come here as a home team, and the feeling in his heart must be very different!
"Excited! Very excited! Sun Dahei said to little Wharton with a smile.
"Don't get excited, sooner or later, your jersey will definitely hang over the stadium like theirs, I believe in you!"
……
The Warriors players have also entered the court, and the players on both sides have found a field to start pre-game hand training.
Seeing the old teammates of the Warriors again, Sun Dahei was in a good mood and went up to greet everyone, but there were many familiar faces that he didn't see at the scene.
"Big black, yes! The Lakers really pay enough attention to you, and you will be treated as the boss as soon as you go! Curry greeted Sun Dahei with a smile when he saw him.
"The big black is going to be developed, but, hehe...... I don't think you can beat us! Egg Chase Green also laughed.
"Oh? Brother Green, don't talk so much, if you lose for a while, don't cry your nose Ha...... "Sun Dahei and the Big Four of the Warriors have a very close relationship, and it doesn't hurt to make a joke.
This season, the Warriors have lost not only Sun Dahei, in addition to Sun Dahei, Iguodala has also left the Warriors, in order to keep the Big Four lineup, the Warriors can't give Iguodala too much price, Iguodala can only find another home in order to get a decent contract at the end of his career.
For Iguodala's departure, Sun Dahei still feels quite a pity, and once thought about letting the Lakers sign Iguodala, but like the Warriors, the Lakers can't offer a decent price, and the Lakers' salary is as high as 120 million, and there are too many people on the front line, and signing Iguodala is a bit more than worth the loss.
"Huh, what about Durant? He couldn't be afraid of me and wouldn't dare to come to this game, right? Sun Dahei only saw the Big Three at the scene, not Durant.
"He said he wasn't feeling well, so he didn't come, who knows what this thing was thinking? Maybe I'm afraid you'll be too close to Scarlett Johansson, and you'll be in love......" Egg Chaser Green laughed.
"Big Black, how are you doing with the Lakers? Are you still adapting? Coach Kerr saw Sun Dahei coming, and also went on the court to chat with Sun Dahei.
Seeing Coach Kerr, Sun Dahei was full of emotion in his heart, it can be said that Coach Kerr can be regarded as his benefactor, if it weren't for Coach Kerr, he would definitely not have gained a firm foothold in the NBA so easily.
"Coach Cole, I'm quite adaptable, and the management is good to me......"
"Hey, I'm not your coach anymore, just call me Cole! Kids, come on, come on! Kerr is full of emotion in his heart, Sun Dahei is the upstart insider he dug out single-handedly, and now he has been "snatched" away by the Lakers, and it is strange that he can feel good in his heart.
……
After greeting a group of Warriors' teammates, Sun Dahei returned to his own venue and began to do pre-game training!
"What? Do I have a stray eye? Sun Dahei is in the shot?! Wake me up, I must be dreaming! Many fans at the scene saw that Sun Dahei was shooting in training with a single look, and they all opened their eyes in disbelief......
Who in the entire NBA league doesn't know that Sun Dahei has no mid-range shooting ability at all, and throughout the season of the Warriors, others do pre-game warm-up training, Sun Dahei never goes, he just sits on the bench on the sidelines in a daze......
And Sun Dahei never tried to shoot in the middle of a whole season last season!
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, if these fans at the scene heard someone say that Sun Dahei would have been hit, they would definitely scoff and laugh at the other party for being a big fool who doesn't understand the ball......
Everyone around the world knows that Sun Dahei will not be shot, but now the whole world is confused, what happened this offseason? Sun Dahei won't really develop his mid-investment ability, right......
In addition to the strange scene of Sun Dahei throwing in training, the fans at the scene also found that there were many people who had rarely seen them in the past in today's game!
Jack Nicholson, the Lakers mascot, appeared on time today, and it can be seen from his flushed and excited appearance that the old Nicholson must be very satisfied with the current Lakers!
In addition to the elder Nicholson, there are countless top Hollywood superstars who came to watch the game today, and almost all of the seats in the front row or two are singers and movie stars......
Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Stallone and other family acquaintances of Sun Dahei also arrived at the scene to cheer for Sun Dahei's first battle.
The scene came to the old Nicholson and a large group of Hollywood stars, there was nothing surprising for the fans at this scene, this kind of scene is very common, after all, this is Los Angeles, and today's game is of great significance, it is the Lakers led by Sun Dahei after the reconstruction against the defending champions, the ratings are very high, and the stars will definitely not miss this excitement.
What really puzzled the fans was that they saw a lot of NBA celebrities on the sidelines, Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon, O'Neal, Kobe, Bill Russell, etc......
There were seven or eight NBA celebrities in this game, especially Kobe, who appeared at Staples Arena for the first time as a spectator since he retired, which made the fans feel even more surprised!
Fans are also a little puzzled, why does just one preseason opening game attract so many celebrities to watch the game? In particular, Olajuwon doesn't seem to have a reason to watch the game at all......
……
The Lakers will be warming up before the game, and Wharton Jr. and several assistant coaches are not idle, they are still discussing tactical issues, and developing a set of tactics that are in line with the Lakers' current lineup is not an overnight thing, and the head coach must be required to know the characteristics of the players in the lineup.
And now Walton Jr. only has a general understanding of the ability of these newly introduced players of the Lakers, and he can't see anything in the team training game a few days ago......
The starting lineup played the substitute lineup, Sun Dahei directly beat Zubac to almost cry in this training match, it was too desperate, twenty minutes of training match, the assistant coach on the sidelines didn't bother to remember how many goals Sun Dahei scored, anyway, the ball was in Sun Dahei's hands, the only thing Zubac could do was to watch Sun Dahei attack successfully......
Therefore, Wharton Jr. is not in a hurry to determine the Lakers' main tactics at present, and the regular season has not yet started, so he can use the current seven playoff games to run in and find the most suitable tactical system!
In the preseason, Walton Jr. didn't attach too much importance to it, and he didn't assign any too professional tactics to the Lakers' starting lineup, basically letting the players on the court play freely.
And the opponent Warriors didn't pay much attention to this preseason game, and even Durant's thigh didn't play, if the Big Three didn't want to catch up with Sun Dahei, I'm afraid they wouldn't have come so completely.
And generally speaking, the coach of the preseason is often an assistant coach, and those experienced managers will not waste their energy on preseason games that are only for training.
Little Wharton's qualifications are not good, he doesn't dare to trust him, so he must personally supervise every preseason game! And Steve Cole has enough qualifications, and he also wants to catch up with Sun Dahei, so he only led the team today......
……
In the anticipation of the fans, the referee's whistle finally sounded, and the game was finally about to officially begin!
In the midst of all the attention, Sun Dahei and the Warriors' current Indian center Zhazapachulia walked to both sides of the halfcourt line at the same time......
Zazapachulia looked at Sun Dahei with some bitterness, who knows Sun Dahei's metamorphosis best? In addition to those players who suffered a big loss against Sun Dahei, it is the former teammates of the Warriors......
Zaza is deeply aware of Sun Dahei's terrible physical fitness, and the thought of fighting Sun Dahei for a while can't help but tingle his scalp.
Chasing Green laughed even more directly, he could certainly understand Zazapachuria's mood now......
"Doot toot!" After the referee blew the whistle, he threw the basketball into the air, and Sun Dahei, who had never missed a jump ball in the entire regular season and the playoffs last season, jumped as fast as a cheetah and threw the basketball in the air into Chris Paul's hand!
The first game of the season, plus the first offensive round! Who should I give it to? It must be the absolute boss of the team!
Sun Dahei rushed directly to the front court, Chris Paul dribbled just over half the court, seeing that Sun Dahei had rushed to the free throw line, and directly threw the basketball in his hand in the direction of Sun Dahei.
This ball is very different from the previous pass that Clark gave to Sun Dahei, Clark is a high lob ball, the speed is extremely slow, Sun Dahei needs to grasp the landing point of the ball in advance, and then get the ball from the air at the right height, it is not easy, and there have been mistakes......
Chris Paul's pass, however, was like a cannonball, straight through the crowd, and when the Lakers players tried to intercept it, the ball had already flown out of their side.
This cannonball-like pass, as if he had eyes, flew directly into Sun Dahei's hands, and even Dahei himself was a little surprised, taking advantage of the fact that Zazapachulia had not yet settled down, he directly flew and won the victory!
After the success, Sun Dahei looked at Chris Paul in disbelief, this pass is simply amazing, is this the difference between the passing level of the top traditional point guard and the ordinary point guard?! Sun Dahei knew very well in his heart that Clark would never be able to pass such a proper pass, this ball was simply wonderful, just like Chris Paul promised at the beginning, so that Sun Dahei could score while lying down!
After a short period of shock, all the fans stood up and cheered, and even those celebrities on the sidelines laughed and applauded, this attack was simply beautiful, and it was definitely a top ten goal!
With the introduction of Sun Dahei and Chris Paul, what are Lakers fans most looking forward to? Of course, it's the air connection just now, the Lakers have directly snatched the reputation of the empty city from the same city team Clippers, can the Clippers be considered an empty city without Chris Paul?
"Haha, big black, how do you feel? Your Paul brother's pass is uncomfortable! "Chris Paul and Sun Dahei teamed up for the first time to attack perfectly successfully, and the mood is excellent, and it is finally a good start!
"Comfortable! It's so comfortable! It's so cool, I feel like I can score at least 20 points per game just by relying on your passing! Sun Dahei said with surprise on his face.
These words are definitely not Sun Dahei's compliment to Chris Paul, you must know that little Jordan can average about 15 points per game with the help of Chris Paul, Sun Dahei is better than Little Jordan I don't know how many times, just relying on Chris Paul's passing, he is absolutely sure to score at least 20 points per game!
