Chapter 598

Playing the China game with the Lakers was the first opponent the Lakers encountered in the playoffs last season, the Dallas Mavericks.

The Lakers and Mavericks will play two consecutive preseason games in China.

Two days before the start of the preseason, the players of the Lakers and Mavericks got together and flew to China together.

On the plane, Ge Feng hadn't seen Griffin and Turner yet.

It seems that the talks between Carlisle and Griffin are still going on.

Griffin should not appear in the China game between the Lone Ranger and the Lakers.

It's fine if Griffin doesn't show up.

Before Ge Feng became famous, Griffin, who was in the Clippers, had a lot of conflicts with Ge Feng.

Domestic fans hold grudges very much, and to this day, fans still hate Griffin.

Last season, the feud between Dallas fans and Chinese fans has not completely subsided!

If Griffin came with the Lone Ranger, the Chinese fans would only be more excited.

However, Griffin's popularity has declined rapidly in the past two years.

The current Griffin is almost unable to squeeze into the All-Star bench lineup. Chinese fans have almost forgotten that there is such a number one figure as Griffin.

In Dallas, where the culture of discrimination is particularly serious, their home team, the Mavericks, was eliminated by the Lakers led by Ge Feng in the first round last season, and they were extremely depressed.

Chinese fans will not write discrimination on their faces like Texas.

However, Griffin and the Lone Ranger suffered setbacks one after another, which still made Chinese fans secretly happy.

Returning to China again, Ge Feng and his teammates are full of affection for this land.

Since Ge Feng brought his teammates to China for a month in the off-season, the Lakers generals, who are familiar with the road, can't wait to find a place to eat skewers, buy candied haws, scrape and cupping. It's not comfortable.

After a night's rest, Kobe led the Lakers players to continue to shift positions.

Their first game against the Lone Ranger was held at the Huanglong Stadium in Hangzhou.

The players have not yet arrived in Hangzhou, and the fans are already in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou City, holding up banners and holding up signs, ready to welcome the stars to get off the car.

When passing by West Lake, Schroeder and Kobe's eyes were straight.

Americans who run around the sea all the year round may rarely see such a quiet and peaceful lake as West Lake.

West Lake, a famous "man-made" lake, integrates the cultural accumulation of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and is one of the representative landscapes with the most Chinese characteristics.

When I saw West Lake for the first time, I always felt that this lake was unreal.

In West Lake, it seems that you can see mountains and rivers, history, heroes, chivalrous women, Hangzhou, and China.

The beauty of Hangzhou is different from the prosperous beauty of Shanghai.

When foreign players come to Hangzhou, they will have a better understanding of Chinese culture and the step-by-step classics that have been passed down from thousands of years of Chinese culture.

After getting off the bus, there were deafening cheers from the fans.

The enthusiasm of the fans is unparalleled.

For Chinese fans who can only watch NBA games twice a year, the Chinese game is even more exciting than the NBA Finals!

Like the past China games, the floor of the venue was consigned from the United States.

This game is the home court of the Mavericks, and the landmark of the Mavericks is naturally printed on the floor.

However...everyone knows...

In the China game, there is actually no such thing as home or away or away.

As long as Ge Feng is in the team, it must be home!

The Lakers arrived in Hangzhou the day before the start of the preseason.

So, after the training, none of them went back to the hotel to rest, but each grouped together and went to find a place to play.

Ge Feng smiled and didn't go out with his teammates to go crazy.

Yao Ming, chairman of the domestic basketball association, also came to Hangzhou. That night, Ge Feng met Yao Ming.

"Chairman Yao, why are we playing in Hangzhou? Can't the stadiums in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou be used?"

Ge Feng asked Yao Ming about his doubts.

The previous Chinese games were usually held in super-first-tier cities like BJ, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. The reason for this is that the arenas in super-first-tier cities can accommodate 20000 fans, and the attendance rate will be higher.

On the contrary, the Huanglong Stadium, where the preseason game is held this time, can only accommodate less than 12000 fans even though a lot of seats have been added temporarily.

Yao Ming smiled and explained: "Do you still remember the Hope Primary School that you and I invested together? Now, most of the first batch of students we donated are already thirteen or fourteen years old, and it's time for them to go to high school."

Ge Feng was stunned for a moment: "What does this have to do with the preseason games being held in Hangzhou?"

Yao Ming continued: "You are too busy, I didn't tell you that's all. I established a basketball college in Hangzhou. The purpose is to help students who aspire to basketball find a more professional and accurate way out. This college is currently being built in Hangzhou. I will show you around when I have time. You don't know that this year's preseason game took me a lot of effort to transfer the venue to Hangzhou."

Ge Feng understood immediately.

Basketball college, what an innovative idea!

Ge Feng nodded happily.

In China, apart from Yao Ming, there is really no other person who is capable and dares to create such a basketball high school.

Holding the preseason game in Hangzhou is Yao Ming's first reform in his future basketball career.

Yao Ming asked the Basketball Association to "relic" "win the future", give up part of the profit margin, and make Hangzhou a representative city of Chinese basketball.

This kind of thinking requires resources and traffic. The purpose of holding the China Games in Hangzhou is to promote the basketball school.

After hearing Yao Ming's thoughts, Ge Feng felt very appreciative.

Ge Feng intends to increase funds to help Yao Ming launch the "Basketball High School" project.

Yao Ming was also very excited when he heard this. The Chinese men's basketball team really needs players like Ge Feng to come forward.

Ge Feng promised to help basketball colleges do promotion.

At the same time, Ge Feng thought of Kobe and others' surprised expressions when they saw Hangzhou, and another idea was born in his mind.

Hangzhou can not only be built into the best basketball city in China, but at the same time, with its quaint Chinese beauty, it can also become a base for cultural exchanges between Chinese and American players.

The next time Ge Feng brings his teammates to China to play, he doesn't plan to run around aimlessly.

Ge Feng intends to lure the players to Hangzhou to accumulate the basic vitality of basketball colleges little by little, so that Chinese children can continue to persevere in the dream of basketball!

Ge Feng and Yao Ming then chatted about the content of the finale. Ge Feng will also promote his foundation on this occasion.

After the Olympics, Ge Feng's personal foundation in China has been established.

From now on, there will be more than one Yao Ming who will continue to contribute to Chinese basketball.

Ge Feng also has to start working on the future.
