In addition to the star-studded sidelines, there was also a group of yellow-skinned people in a corner of the stands. Some of these people flew here from China just to watch Li Hao's debut, and some were local Chinese in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is the city with the largest Chinese population in the United States, with a Chinese population of nearly 400,000. As long as Li Hao is in Los Angeles, these people will become potential Lakers fans in the future.
Under the reminder of on-site DJ Lawrence Tante, the Lakers players came on the stage, and the fans immediately cheered for the players who came up to warm up.
"Is this a real NBA scene?" The atmosphere of summer league and preseason games is simply incomparable to a real NBA game.
"Li Hao~~~Li Hao~~~Li Hao" Amidst the cheers of many people, Li Hao heard someone calling his name. He knew without thinking that this must be his compatriot, because foreigners would not call him "Li Hao" Hao".
Looking at his compatriots cheering for him, Li Hao could only wave and then repay the support with his wonderful performance on the field.
"Boss~~~Boss" When Li Hao walked onto the court, George Haydn immediately jumped up and shouted.
Li Hao naturally heard George Haydn's voice, but when Li Hao turned his head and looked over, his attention was completely drawn away.
This is also normal. How can a black guy like George Haydn compare with Taylor Swift and Scarlet Witch Elizabeth Olsen? As long as he is a normal man, he knows where his eyes should look.
And the moment he saw Aomei, Li Hao couldn't help but think of what Raven and his girlfriend Hunter Marr said before, this woman is interested in me.
"It's been a long time." When he thought of this, Li Haoren had already arrived in front of Aomei.
"So you still remember me?" O'Mei didn't expect that Li Hao would come directly to her.
"I'm sorry last time." Li Hao also knew that his behavior was a bit rude last time.
"Is it gone with just an apology?" Aomei was also very angry at Li Hao's lack of understanding.
"Well, I'll treat you to dinner next time as an apology." It turns out that Li Hao's steel was entirely due to poverty.
"Oh oh oh~~~What happened? Why does our rookie know the Scarlet Witch?" Li Haokou walked towards Omei under the gaze of nearly 20,000 people at the scene.
"It seems that they have known each other for a long time. No wonder the Scarlet Witch came to watch the game. It turns out that she is here for our rookie." For a time, Li Hao and O Mei became the most concerned people in the audience.
………………………………………….
"No wonder you, boy, have always refused to talk to women before," Kobe, who had just finished greeting Beckham, came to Li Hao and gossiped.
"Do you believe me when I say we are meeting for the second time?" Li Hao also realized the problem, so he said goodbye to O Mei immediately.
"Li, how do you know the Scarlet Witch?" It's not just Kobe who is gossiping. Teammates who have a good relationship with Li Hao are also gossiping, and even the audience in the stands and a certain super facial control on the sidelines are gossiping.
"Elizabeth, what's your relationship with Lee?" Taylor Swift changed places with the person next door and came to Omei's side and asked.
"Friend" Olson was immediately alert. As we all know, Taylor Swift is a super beauty, and Li Hao's appearance can cross races. If nothing else, Olson himself was amazed by Li Hao's handsomeness. Pass.
"I wonder if Lee has a girlfriend?" Taylor Swift seemed to be confused, but she was actually asking Omei.
And when everyone's attention was on Li Hao and O'Mei, a black man wearing an 88 jersey was standing on the sidelines with a question mark on his face: "Why am I standing here?"

After the warm-up, the players returned to the locker room. When the players took the field again, today's game would officially begin. In fact, the fans did not wait too long.
Soon, amidst the exciting shouts of the on-site DJ, the Lakers players began to appear, and the leader was officially the starting center Jordan Hill today, followed by small forward Wesley Johnson, point guard Jeremy Lin, power forward Boozer and the leader Star Kobe Bryant.
Although Kobe is old, as long as Kobe can play, there is no need to worry about the attendance at the Staples Center. The biggest reason for the decline in attendance at the Staples Center last season, apart from the poor record, was that Kobe was injured.
Although many fans are unwilling to admit that Kobe is old, they still know deep down that they are watching one less of Kobe's games.
The visiting team does not receive the same treatment as the home team. The Rockets players have already appeared on the field. Starting center Warcraft Howard is the main culprit for the Lakers' decline. If Howard hadn't left directly when his contract expired, the Lakers would not be in such a predicament as they are now.
The power forward is Terrence Jones, the small forward is quite familiar to Lakers fans, one of the former champions is Tieza Ariza, and shooting guard James Harden.
Harden's arrival directly allowed the Rockets to skip the rebuilding process. In the next few years, the Rockets have always been a strong team in the Western Conference and a contender for the championship.
The No. 1 pick is Beverley. Beverley was a second-round pick in 2009, and it was the Lakers who originally selected Beverley. However, Beverley did not play for the Lakers and was sent away on the day of the draft. There were many twists and turns after that. The team didn't really gain a foothold until the Rockets took advantage of Jeremy Lin's injury.
Therefore, there are quite a lot to watch in this game. Howard returns to Los Angeles, Harden and Kobe compete against each other, and Beverley competes with Jeremy Lin.
Of course, the most important thing for Chinese fans is to see Chinese players again in the NBA, while for the Lakers management, it is to see how good their rookies are.
Although the Lakers also have a player with yellow skin in their starting lineup, there are differences between the two players with the same yellow skin. One has American citizenship, while the other is 100% Chinese.

Jordan Hill and Howard jumped the ball without any accidents. Howard passed the basketball to Jones, who flicked the ball back, and the basketball came to Beverley's hands.
Beverley just passed the ball after halftime and immediately passed the basketball to Harden. In the Rockets, Harden is the real point guard, and Beverley is only in name.
After all the players were in position, Harden lobbed the ball inside, and the basketball came to Howard's hands. The moment Howard held the ball, there was a huge boo.
Even though Howard has left the Lakers for two years, Lakers fans still hate Howard. In the eyes of Lakers fans, Kobe's injury and the Lakers' current predicament are all because of Howard.
If Howard didn't do that, Kobe wouldn't have to work so hard. If Howard was willing to sign first and then trade, the Lakers wouldn't be so weak.
Of course, all of this is just from the Lakers' perspective. If it's from Howard's own perspective, there is no problem.
