Chapter 339: Dragon Kingdom Preseason Game, Huyong Battle
·
Wo Yao Huo Le
Two days later, the new NBA season starts.
As usual in previous years, each team needs to conduct several preseason warm-up games before the start of the regular season.
Some teams will also go abroad for tours and games, which is also a major feature of the NBA preseason.
Of course, what Dragon Country fans are most concerned about is the Los Angeles Lakers. Under the special arrangements of the league, the Lakers and the Golden State Warriors will go to Dragon Country for two preseason games.
One is in the Imperial Capital and the other is in the Magic City.
When the schedule was announced, Dragon Country fans instantly went crazy.
Everyone finally had the opportunity to watch an NBA game live. Even though it was only a preseason game, it was exciting enough.
The most important thing is that there are Qin Xiao and Kobe, including Curry.
Needless to say, the popularity of these three people in the Dragon Kingdom is bound to be very popular!
"Qin, you didn't expect that we will go to Dragon Kingdom to play two preseason games." Kobe said with a smile.
Qin Xiao had already anticipated the arrangement of the alliance.
Just like the Yao-Mai combination back then, the preseason must be arranged to be held in Dragon Country.
To put it bluntly, I and Yao Ming belong to the same type of Chinese players. The Lakers will definitely go to Dragon Country for the preseason games. You can guess it with your toes.
……
The preseason game between the Lakers and Warriors was scheduled for five days.
During this time, everyone must prepare to rush to the Dragon Kingdom and adapt to the environment there first.
In today's first preseason game, the two teams facing each other are the Oklahoma City Thunder and Fenerbach Youker.
The match will be held at the local Uker Stadium in Istanbul.
The reason why the NBA deliberately made this arrangement is to make the league international and attract more overseas fans.
I have to say that Mr. Stern is very smart in this regard.
Under his management, the NBA has grown to its current size.
It's said to be a pre-season game, but it's actually just an insignificant friendly match.
The strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all, and the Thunder would not use all their strength and had to give the opponent some face. In the end, they only beat their opponent by fifteen points.
In the next few days, the Rockets, Bulls, 76ers and other teams will all start preseason games in various places.
……
The time came to October 10th, Imperial Capital, Mastercard Center Stadium.
This is also the original Wukesong Stadium, which can accommodate 18000 spectators.
At 07:30 in the evening, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors will start the first preseason showdown here!
There is less than half an hour left before the game starts.
The entire venue was packed, and tickets were sold out as soon as they went on sale.
Many fans did not buy tickets and tried to buy them from scalpers at high prices.
But there are no tickets left at the scalpers. These fans can only watch others enter the arena, but they are the uncomfortable group with tears in their eyes and empty hands.
Qin Xiao had expected that the tickets would be sold out early, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, players from both sides are already preparing for the game in the backstage locker room.
"Everyone can play freely tonight, don't feel any pressure, the main thing is to be relaxed and happy!"
Mustache said to everyone.
Generally speaking, few people take the preseason seriously.
Everyone is just looking for status, winning or losing is not important at all.
If it weren't for playing in Dragon Country, Mustache wouldn't even want the main players to play.
On the other side, in the Warriors locker room.
"That guy Qin stole the show last season. In today's preseason game, the Lakers will definitely not take it seriously."
"We can just use this opportunity to defeat Qin at his doorstep!"
Head coach Mark Jackson has some calculations.
When a person stands in a high place and steals the show, it will always arouse the jealousy of many people.
Obviously, Mark Jackson is unhappy with Qin Xiao.
He wanted to make Qin Xiao lose the game in the Dragon Kingdom and make Qin Xiao embarrassed at his own doorstep.
After a while, players from both sides came on stage for pre-match warm-ups.
The moment the on-site DJ read Qin Xiao's name, the whole venue boiled!
"Qin Xiao!"
"Qin Xiao!"
"Qin Xiao!"
This was the first time Qin Xiao heard such eloquent Long Guo dialect in the arena.
Suddenly, his mood became excited.
Although he plays at Staples Center, he will also be cheered by the fans in the stadium.
But this feeling is completely different. In his eyes, this is his real home court!
Kobe next to him reached out and patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said: "Perform well today and don't let these fans down. For us, this is just an insignificant preseason game, it can even be said to be an exhibition game. But for you, it’s your first time playing in front of your hometown fans.”
Qin Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I know what to do, and I won't let them down."
Qin Xiao made up his mind that he would give his best in this game.
Mark Jackson was still dreaming about defeating Qin Xiao, but he didn't know that Qin Xiao was completely serious.
During the pre-match warm-up, the head coaches of both teams were interviewed by on-site reporters.
"Mike, this should be your first time leading a team to Dragon Country for a game. How do you feel about the atmosphere at the scene? How is it different from Staples Center?"
Facing reporters' questions, Mustache said excitedly: "I feel like it's great here. The fans are very enthusiastic. It's no worse than Staples Center."
"Perhaps because of Qin's presence, I feel like I'm back at home. Today's game will be great!"
On the other side, Mark Jackson said in the interview: "Dragon Country is a great country. I feel very honored to be able to come here to play. I assure everyone that tonight's game will be very exciting. We will show our best Treat it with the best attitude, this is respect for all fans!"
A few minutes later, the pre-match warm-up ended and the starting lineups of both sides played.
The Warriors start.
Point Guard: Stephen Curry
Shooting Guard: Klay Thompson
Small Forward: Andre Iguodala
Power Forward: David Lee
Center: Jermaine O'Neal
The Lakers start.
Point Guard: Jordan Farmar
Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant
Small Forward: Qin Xiao
Power Forward: Pau Gasol
Center: Hassan Whiteside
The Warriors' starting center was originally Andrew Bogut, but because of his feud with Qin Xiao last season, the Dragon Country team was very unhappy with him.
In order to leave a good impression on the fans, Mark Jackson decided to let O'Neal Jr. take his starting position.
For the Lakers, Jordan Farmar returned to the team again this summer.
This guy is not a newcomer either. He won the championship with Kobe back then.
Now that he is back again, it can be regarded as slightly adding some depth to the Lakers' back line.
"Beep!"
Immediately, the opening whistle blew, and the battle between Hu Yong officially began!
