NBA: Come off the bench, save the national team

The Thunder play at the Ford Center.

There is still half an hour before the game starts, and the arena is already crowded with people, and there are no seats left.

Many of them had oriental faces, accounting for at least a quarter of the audience.

The players who were warming up on the court were a little surprised.

Oklahoma City fans were overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.

"God! I've never seen such a grand event at home last season! Usually there are so many spectators when they play against teams like the Lakers and Cavaliers that have attracted the attention of the entire United States."

"Our Thunder team has never been so concerned!"

Jeff Green looked around in disbelief.

Last season, the Thunder's home attendance rate was only about 60.00%, one of the lowest attendance rates in the league.

No way, the Thunder, as a rebuilding team, really doesn't get much attention in the league.

But tonight, the situation has completely changed.

Looking around, the audience area is full of densely packed heads, which can be described as full.

"The blood in my whole body is boiling now. I must play a good performance in today's game, so as to give back to the fans for their support!"

Durant said that after receiving the basketball, he staged a slam dunk with Dapeng spreading his wings.

However, there was no response from the audience, and there was only noise in the arena.

But when Qin Feng received the ball for three-point warm-up training, there were cheers on the scene.

Among them, the Huaxia fans were the loudest, shaking their No. 23 jersey wantonly, very excited.

The cheers were mixed with many boos.

There are also many spectators in the arena who came to watch jokes.

They want to see what waves this Chinese can make in the NBA.

In the perception of all American fans, there is no one in Huaxia who knows how to play basketball except Dayao!

Adu looked weird, he didn't expect so many fans to come for Qin Feng.

Regardless of whether these fans like Qin Feng or hate Qin Feng, at least they all come to pay attention to Qin Feng.

In comparison, the rest of the Thunder players are basically not well-known.

Even Durant needs to slowly accumulate his popularity in the new venue.

In addition to the fans, there are also many cameramen on the sidelines, all of whose cameras are aimed at Qin Feng, following his every move!

Such a grand occasion, even the first game of Durant's career did not cause such a big sensation.

"It's terrible, it's terrible! Qin Feng really has his own halo! He has attracted so much attention without even playing a game in the NBA."

Jeff Green said with emotion, with a hint of envy in his tone.

"Okay, man! Warm up! If you can play well in the game, the fans will cheer for you!"

Westbrook said, devoting himself to the warm-up.

For him, it is still far away to be recognized by the fans. The most important thing now is to be able to get enough playing time and then play a good performance.

......

In Huaxia, on the other side of the ocean, the CCTV studio.

The two commentators, Er Yang, were already ready.

"We can see from the camera that there are many Chinese fans and many Chinese media at the scene. It seems that everyone is very concerned about Qin Feng's first show!"

Yang Jian said with emotion.

"This reminds me of Yao's debut in the NBA. The scene was bigger than this!"

"Not only our Chinese fans are concerned, but American fans are also very concerned. Everyone wants to know how Dayao, who landed in the NBA as the No. [-] pick, will perform in the first game of his career!"

Yang Yi said, his eyes flickering, as if caught in memories.

"At that time, Dayao also had a lot of doubts in the United States! Especially the famous commentator Barkley, who was a guest on a certain show, even arrogantly said that if Dayao scored 19 points, he would kiss the ass of the donkey live in front of the camera! "

"As a result, we all saw that Dayao scored 20 points and succeeded in getting Barkley to kiss the donkey's ass. It also shattered the doubts of all American fans and won their respect!"

Yang Yi continued.

Even though it has been more than 6 years in the past, the memory is still fresh!

That game really won face for the entire Huaxia, and made all Huaxia fans heave a sigh of relief.

"Last season, Yi Jianlian's debut also caused a sensation in the country, but it's a pity that the United Arab Emirates didn't show much. I don't know if Qin Feng can be like Dayao today and surprise the entire country of America!"

Yang Jian said, full of expectations.

"Let's not say that Qin Feng is in the hot state of playing in the Olympics. As long as he can show half of the level in the Olympics, then his debut will be a success!"

"The current Thunder team is in a period of reconstruction. The team's record is not important, but individual performance is important!"

"In my opinion, Qin Feng's choice of the Thunder team is very correct. The so-called heroes in troubled times, it is in a team like the Thunder that Qin Feng has a better chance to make a name for himself!"

"If he went to a strong team like the Lakers, he would have very few opportunities."

Yang Yi said, guessing Qin Feng's intention to choose the Thunder.

If Qin Feng heard these words, he would definitely shake his head.

Yang Yi may be standing on the surface, while Qin Feng has already reached the atmosphere.

Heroes in troubled times?

nonexistent!

No matter which team Qin Feng goes to, he has the confidence to become the team's core player through his performance.

It's just that he wants to make his career more legendary!

Becoming the totem of the Thunder, leading Durant and Westbrook, two future potential stars, to rule the league step by step, isn't this more fragrant than going directly to the Lakers to win the championship without any suspense?

"The game is about to start! Let us look forward to Qin Feng's performance together!"

Yang Jian said, turning his attention to the broadcast screen.

......

In addition to CCTV, the SL Portal also broadcast the game live on the Internet.

Countless netizens flocked to it, causing the server to crash at one point.

Everyone left messages expressing their expectations for the game.

"After waiting for more than a month, I finally saw Qin Feng's NBA debut!"

"Looking forward! Looking forward! I hope Qin Feng can gallop in the NBA like Dayao!"

"Although I am very upset that Qin Feng chose the Thunder, as a Huaxia person, I still support it."

"Upstairs you are really funny, if you are upset, you can stop watching and use your support?"

"That is, no matter what choice Qin Feng makes, I will support it unconditionally!"

"I think Qin Feng made the right choice. He didn't team up to compete for the championship! It's really amazing to go to a weak team and lead the team to win the championship!"

"You seem to be out of your mind! Dayao didn't even lead the Rockets to win the championship. You expect Qin Feng to win the championship? Let's talk about it now that the NBA has a foothold."

The fans talked and expressed their opinions.

There are those who support Qin Feng, and those who are not optimistic about Qin Feng...

......

In the Thunder's home arena, the game is about to start, and the starters from both sides have already appeared on the field.

The starters for the Thunder are, in order, Perot, Jeff Green, Kevin Durant, Qin Feng, and Collison!

Seeing this starting lineup, the fans were a little surprised.

This year's fourth overall pick, Westbrook, is actually playing as a substitute?

And Qin Feng is impressively in the starting lineup!
