The Lakers are currently in China, preparing for a pair of exhibition games against the Golden State Warriors in Beijing and Shanghai.

Lakers.com gives a behind-the-scenes look at their trip, starting in Los Angeles as the players collect at the airport before their 13-hour flight to Beijing.

On arrival, the team was greeted with “throngs of adoring fans,” many shouting for Kobe Bryant.

“No injuries,” said Young.
