On April 2, Beijing time, the Rockets played at home against the Kings, and this game was not highly concerned. After all, the Rockets are at the bottom of the West and the Kings are the 12th in the West, and neither team has any hope of advancing to the playoffs. But this duel rushed to the hot search, because with about 6 minutes left in the third quarter, a "naked" man ran in the stadium.
He danced awkwardly near the middle circle, the Rockets and the Kings' players stunned, and no one knew what to do. Several security guards rushed over, and the man tried to avoid arrest and prepare to run wildly. But he was eventually outnumbered, and security guards threw him down and took him out of the field.
The audience began to boo, and the broadcast camera quickly cut away. For many fans, it may be the first time they have seen such a picture. Several security guards pressed the man under him, reminiscent of those two words: strong man lock man, man plus man...
In the last week, the NBA has twice interrupted games due to home surprises. On March 27, the Raptors' home vs Pacers, the stadium sound caught fire, the players returned to the locker room, and the firefighters organized the evacuation of the live audience.
Although the game resumed, it did not allow the audience to enter the game again, and the players of the two teams played the second half of the game empty. The Raptors officially announced that fans can fully refund their tickets within 30 days.
In that raptors game, the fans had nothing to lose. But for the fans at the Rockets' home court today, they may have to wash their eyes when they go home...

If you think about it, the top four on the rookie list are also the top four picks in the 2021 draft.
Canningham, Jaylen Green, Tanhua Mobley, No. 4 coach Barnes, these four rookies, who are you more optimistic about?
