The rise of basketball legends

"Is this the venue for a basketball game?"

When Chen Yan stepped into the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, he wondered if he had gone to the wrong set.

This place is ridiculously big!

Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, as the main stadium in 1982, is one of the largest stadiums in the world. This stadium can accommodate up to 92000 spectators!

However, temporarily transforming a football field into a basketball field requires a lot of adjustments.

In order to ensure the viewing experience of the fans, the organizing committee of the event deliberately rebuilt the stage and raised the entire stadium.

In addition, nearly 800 LED screens were prepared, which were spliced ​​into a super screen as big as a basketball court!

And the organizing committee of the event also closed some stands with poor view.

Even so, the attendance at Los Angeles Memorial Stadium tonight was a staggering 76000!

What is the concept of more than 7 viewers?

Everyone stomping their feet, it is estimated that it can cause an earthquake in the entire arena!

There are more spectators in a basketball game than in a football game. It is estimated that this scene will appear in the NCAA tournament around the world.

After looking around, Durant slowly put down the crispy noodles in his hand: "It's incredible! This is the first time I've played in front of so many people!"

"Don't be nervous, KD." Chen Yan patted Durant on the back.

"Chen, I'm not nervous, but excited!"

Other players in Texas also issued a 'wow' exclamation.

This is the stage that all basketball players dream of!

Facing such a stage, some nervousness and excitement are normal.

Not to mention these NCAA youngsters, most NBA stars have never played in front of so many fans!

"This venue is awesome! It should be a shock when everyone is chanting your name together!"

In the first row of the auditorium, a figure most familiar to Los Angeles fans appeared.

Kobe Bryant in casual attire at Los Angeles Memorial Stadium!

Bryant was joined by his Lakers teammates Lamar Odom, Luke Walton and Smush Parker.

The overwhelming reports made Kobe very interested in Chen Yan, and the game was held in Los Angeles, so Kobe appeared at today's game, and everything happened naturally.

Bryant held his eldest daughter Natalia in his arms, waiting for the game to start.

Vanessa did not come with Kobe today, and the second daughter GIGI is about to be born, so it is inconvenient to watch the game with a big belly.

In addition to the current Lakers players, a number of Lakers celebrities also came to the scene.

'Skyhook' Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 'Magic John' Johnson, James Worthy, and Elgin Baylor appeared in the broadcast footage one after another when the players on both sides were warming up.

Little Li, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, Jessica Alba, Taylor Swift and many other celebrities in the entertainment industry also appeared on the scene.

Most of these stars are resident in Los Angeles, and they are all basketball fans. Naturally, they will not miss this grand basketball event.

When the broadcast camera swept across the stars, Van Gundy in the commentary could not help exclaiming: "Is this the scene of the All-Star Game?"

"Hahahaha!" Mike Brin on the side couldn't stop laughing, he liked his bald partner more and more.

"The Los Angeles Memorial Stadium is really very big. The viewers in the back rows feel like watching the players on the field, and the fans at the top can't even see the big screen clearly." Mike Breen said with a smile .

"However, watching the game on the spot and watching the TV are two completely different atmospheres. I hope the fans will have an unforgettable watching experience tonight." Van Gundy said.

"Come on, Jeff, tell me who you like tonight." Mike Breen looked at Van Gundy.

You may be late for the pre-game prediction session, but you will never be absent.

Van Gundy thought for a while: "Honestly, it's hard to predict. The University of Florida has six NBA-level players, three of whom are favorites in the lottery this year, and Texas has a pair of king bombers. Chen, he brought us too many surprises in the NCAA tournament this year!"

Mike Breen nodded and said: "Adhering to Coach Donovan's consistent selfless and balanced coaching style, Florida's five starters this year can all average more than 10 points per game. Can suppress the opponent to an average of only 56.8 points per game, and a terrifying shooting rate of only 37.0%!"

"And the University of Texas averaged an astonishing 4 points per game after the 85.8 rounds! The average points per game ranked first among all the teams participating in the 'March Madness'!"

"Today's game is a duel between the sharpest spear and the strongest shield!"

Mike - Breen put the topic out of the way at once.

With the sharpest spear and the strongest shield, the fans' expectations for this duel have risen to another level!

In the stadium, Chen Yan accepted a brief interview with ESPN reporters during the warm-up stage.

"Chen, what are your expectations for tonight's game at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium?" ESPN reporter asked.

Chen Yan smiled: "I can't wait to hear the screams of the fans. I believe this is a very special experience."

"Recently fans have given you a lot of nicknames, such as Iverson PLUS, Wade with a length of 5 cm, and the youth version of Jordan. Which one of these nicknames do you like best?"

"As long as the fans are happy, each of these nicknames is very loud, but I still prefer to be called by my name directly." Chen Yan replied.

"In the 'March Madness' stage, you played brilliant performances and scored high points, but some fans thought that this was related to the NCAA's defensive intensity. What do you think of this?"

"It was my fault, I made it look easy to score, which led to some kind of illusion for the fans."

"Noah said in an interview before the game that crispy noodles are only eaten by children, and they will never lose to children. What do you want to respond to this?"

"After the game, he will understand that eating him alone is easier than eating crispy noodles."

Chen Yan understood that the reporter was deliberately causing trouble, but he still chose to respond forcefully.

He was not simply arguing with Noah, but more because he wanted to overwhelm the opponent with momentum before the opening.
