Chapter 31 31. The Chinese Tournament Starts

With the rise of the Warriors last year, the NBA has begun to focus on special care for this team.

And Curry, as the head star of this team, has also begun to emerge.

The NBA wants to push them to the world, and the first stop is naturally China.

It can be said that China is the number one overseas market for the NBA!

On October 10th, the first game of this year's China competition officially started!
In this game, the Lakers wore the home purple and gold jerseys. Before the start of the game, the stars of the two teams, Kobe and Curry, gave speeches respectively.

Although Kobe was unable to play in this game, Kobe, who appeared in a suit, was still the most popular in the audience!

Every time Kobe is given a shot, the entire arena screams!

Fans are so excited about it...

Curry spoke first, and he said a lot, which probably meant to thank the Chinese fans for their enthusiasm and thank them for coming to watch the game!

What's interesting is that Curry finally said "thank you" in Chinese.

During this period, Curry's popularity in China was already very high. Many fans on the scene wore his jersey, especially female fans.

If you want to say which star in the NBA has the most female fans, it may be Curry.

The handsome appearance of the "primary school student" is the most popular among female fans.

When it was Kobe's turn to speak, he was much more domineering.

"Today we came to Tang's hometown, which is his home stadium. How will he perform tonight? Let us wait and see!"

When Kobe finished saying this, the whole scene exploded!

Amid the cheers of the fans, Kobe said again: "Don is my little brother. He has all the qualities to become a superstar. I am looking forward to his growth!"

In the China game, what did Kobe mean by saying this?
it goes without saying!

At least it can show that Tang De has been affirmed by Kobe!

It has to be said that Kobe's emotional intelligence is really high, and it is not unreasonable for him to be the star of the league for so many years.

Kobe didn't mention anything about the Lakers at all, and it seemed that he was promoting Tang De.

But in fact, this is the best way to promote the Lakers and the NBA!
As long as Tang De plays well, as long as Tang De has enough fame, domestic fans will naturally pay attention to the Lakers!
Once the attention is high, the NBA can make a lot of money!

Because of Yao Ming, the NBA made a lot of money!

Because it has tasted the sweetness, the NBA now attaches great importance to the Chinese market.

But the fans don't care about this, they only know that Tang De is doing well in the NBA now, and even got the appreciation of the team boss Kobe.

Soon everything was ready at the scene, and the game officially started, and the domestic TV stations broadcast the game live.

There are 3 people in charge of commentating this game, namely Yang Yi, Yang Jian, and Zhang Weiping!
Although this is only a preseason game, both sides have entered their respective main lineups.

Apparently they were going to play a real game, not come to China for paddling, just for fun!
The Warriors' starting lineup today: Curry, Iguodala, Green, David Lee, Bogut!

Lakers: Blake, Nick Young, Downe, Gasol, Whiteside!
When Tang De played, the fans stood up and applauded. Now Tang De is their hero!

Many fans were also wearing Tang De's jersey, calling Tang De frantically!

Tang De simply likes this feeling so much, this is the real home court treatment!
Also excited is Whiteside. After all, he has also played in China for so long, and he also has feelings for this place!

He just left China not long ago, and he never thought that when he came here again, he would represent the NBA to play here!
With the whistle of the referee, the game finally officially started!
"Fans in front of the TV, hello everyone, welcome to the first game between the Lakers and the Warriors in the NBA China Game that we will broadcast live!" Wang Meng, the commentator, greeted everyone first as usual.

But today Wang Meng looks more excited than usual, because he is now a fan of Tang De!

Bogut and Whiteside jump ball in the middle circle!

Baibian once again won today's first wave of offensive possession with his excellent jumping ability!
The ball is given to Blake, and Blake dribbles into the frontcourt.

Whiteside is very active in helping Blake with pick-and-rolls. Whiteside's wall is made, and Curry, as a defender, can't even see Blake.

But even with such an opportunity, Blake did not choose to break through.

For Blake, a breakthrough is impossible, and it is impossible to break through in this life!

Bypassing the defense, Blake hands the ball to Gasol, who is already in position.

And Tang De is actively moving at the moment!
This is Tang De's favorite thing to do, and he has been practicing his off-the-ball intentionally.

After Kobe comes back, no matter what position Kobe plays, more of the ball will still be in his hands.

But no one knows what state Kobe will be in after his comeback. Perhaps the end point of the offense will be on Tang De!

After Gasol received the ball, he sat down David Lee!
After squeezing to the basket, Gasol turned and made a decisive shot with a half-hook!
It was so easy, Gasol scored two points!

"It seems that my sister-in-law's condition is recovering well, and this time she's caught her back!"

Wang Meng commented immediately.

"Yes, because Kobe can't play now, the Lakers really need Gasol to play. He is the only star of the team now!"

The number one subject blower in China, director Zhang Weiping echoed.

Zhang Weiping, as a former professional athlete, Kobe has always been his idol. In his eyes, no matter how Kobe plays on the court, it is reasonable, so he is also nicknamed "Weiping Bryant" by fans, also known as "Zhang Lili!"

When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Curry also called a pick-and-roll, then easily passed Blake and made a layup!
Curry's ball was not successfully interfered by the big white side of the basket.

Unlike Kobe, Curry is used to dodging in the air and putting the ball into the basket when he is blocked by a big center, instead of facing the defense, finding his body to fight, and then sending the ball to the basket!
"Curry's ball is very beautiful, but if Kobe plays this ball, it will definitely be a 2+1! Because with Kobe's style of play, he will definitely find a confrontation first, instead of hiding in the air!"

Sure enough, our "Zhang Lili" guidance can be related to Kobe no matter what!

Everyone knows that he is a super science blower, so he is often complained about, but he doesn't care at all, no matter how dark the outside world is, he will still go his own way on the road of science blowing!

The Lakers attacked again, Tang De received the ball from the outside, and Green defended immediately!
For Green, defense is all about him, and he will be one of the strong contenders for the best defensive player in the league in the future!

But Tang De didn't like this guy because he played too many tricks.

As much as teammates like Green, opponents hate him!
Teammates say he plays with passion, opponents say he plays dirty!
But in general he is indeed a good player, he can do anything on the court!
