The Lakers are on their way to China to play two games against the Brooklyn Nets amid controversy. One game will be played in Shanghai and the other in Shenzhen, which is near Hong Kong
LeBron James and Anthony Davis looked like they’d been teammates for years in helping the Lakers beat the Warriors 123-101 in Golden State’s new arena.“We got a little bit of a taste of it tonight and just seeing what our length looks like on the defensive end and on the glass, what two elite quarterbacks in Rajon Rondo and LeBron James look like with shooters around them, and just a beast of a scorer in AD,” coach Frank Vogel said of his veterans, including All-Star power forward Anthony Davis.
The NBA has made an effort to capitalize on the Chinese market, and several Lakers have done so personally. The Lakers will play the Nets on Thursday in Shanghai and Saturday in Shenzhen as part of the league’s initiative to grow their brand in China. “Just the level of respect they have for us as basketball players, and how much they open up their culture and their arms to us,” James said. “I’ve been there so many times, and just the level of excitement they have for the game of basketball and for us is very overwhelming and it’s special, so I think for some of the guys that haven’t been there, I think they should be taking it full swing.
