As one of the three major balls, basketball has a wide influence all over the world, and in China, it is deeply loved by the general public, second only to football. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Dream Team in the Rio Olympics to win the Olympic championship, coupled with the outstanding performance of the United Arab Emirates, Zhou Qi and others in the NBA, it further enhanced the enthusiasm of basketball in China.

This time, the NBA league chose to hold preseason games in several major cities in China, which was also warmly supported by the majority of fans, and the hot ball market was jaw-dropping.

In fact, this is also very normal, there will be 3 preseason games in the Beiping Wukebai Basketball Stadium, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people, and the Wukebai Basketball Stadium can receive up to 50,000 spectators, which is a drop in the bucket for Beiping and the surrounding areas with millions of basketball fans.

What's more, there is also a matchup between the Lakers and the Bulls in these three games, how can you not make the fans crazy.

As a result, ticket sales for the three games were sold out by fans after the first 10 minutes, and tickets were hard to find.

Many fans who were not able to buy tickets even ran to Peking International Airport in order to be able to see their idols from afar.

Although the vicinity of the Peking Hotel, where the Lakers stayed, was a traffic control area and a heavily guarded military restricted area, many fans still gathered here to see the Lakers players.

The NBA league is quite satisfied with the enthusiasm of Chinese fans, which is a gold mine to be developed and the most important overseas market for the NBA in the next 10 years.

Since the beginning of the past two years, the NBA League has carried out in-depth cooperation with the Chinese Basketball Association, the CBA League and the 'Ginkgo Sports School', hoping to cultivate more top players who can enter the NBA in China.

Because everyone knows that the Chinese market's craze for the NBA is based on the current Chinese elements in the league, and if there are no Chinese players to compete in the NBA, its attraction to Chinese fans will plummet.

There is a precedent for this situation, Yao Da Man's 10 years in the NBA, the Rockets and even NBA teams have had extremely high ratings in China, and after Yao Da Man retired due to injury, the ratings were directly cut in half.

Therefore, if you want to be enthusiastic about the NBA in the Chinese market, it is to ensure that there are constantly excellent Chinese players competing in the NBA, which is the most fundamental factor.

The enthusiasm of the fans also forced the Huaxia police to discharge a squadron of internal guards to act as a security force, and to keep the police of the nearby police station on standby.

In contrast, the Chicago Bulls, who once had a glorious history, came to Peking a bit of a low-key look, after all, the team did not have too many superstars.

Jordan, the soul and symbol of the Chicago Bulls, is now the owner of the Bobcats, and the conflict between him and the Bulls owner has led him to distance himself from the team that he has created with him.

The Bulls stayed at another five-star hotel, the Great Wall Hotel, and for these NBA stars, coming to China to play preseason games is to enjoy exotic customs and Chinese food.

It's just that, due to safety considerations and traffic factors, these NBA stars can't go to well-known restaurants such as Quanjude to eat in person, and can only eat in the hotel's restaurant, of course, it's still authentic and delicious!

…………

When the Lakers and Bulls arrived in Beiping one after another, other NBA teams participating in the preseason also arrived in various cities in China one after another, and were warmly welcomed by the majority of fans.

For the vast majority of Chinese fans, the annual preseason game will be their best chance to see an NBA superstar up close, and many are not willing to miss it.

Take the "American Basketball Dream Tour" opened by "Brilliant Travel Agency", for example, starting from Beiping or Haizhou, a 9-day and 8-night sightseeing trip in the United States plus Staples to watch an NBA game will cost 36,888 yuan. In addition to the tour fee, tourists will also spend some money on various parts of the road, and the average cost per person will not be less than 50,000 RMB.

Although China has now become the world's second largest economy, for the vast majority of people, spending 50,000 yuan to travel is not an easy move.

For this reason, in addition to the preseason, the vast majority of Chinese fans can only watch the performances of NBA superstars through TV, so everyone's enthusiasm for the preseason is reasonable.

This time, 14 NBA teams came to Beiping, Haizhou, Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Ginkgo, Xiangjiang and Beishi to hold preseason games, creating a new era of NBA overseas preseason games. In addition, there are four teams playing in Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur, and more than half of the teams in the league have set the stage for pre-season in Asia, which shows the huge profit margins in the Asian market.

In the past few days, major media in China and even Asia have followed up and reported on the arriving NBA teams, and the pages are full of photos of NBA superstars.

In a sense, Asian sports media and fans have entered the carnival season of basketball, and basketball has become the only melody this fall.

Xiao Feng, who is far away in the United States, looks at the incomparable excitement of the media and the Internet, and also knows that once the enthusiasm of the Chinese people is awakened, it will be shocking!

…………

On October 12, it was Friday, and after the sports news ended at six o'clock, the sports channel of Huaxia TV began to switch the signal to the Wukebai Basketball Stadium to broadcast the game for fans across the country.

Because it's a weekend, more than 100 million households have their TVs locked in to CCTV sports channels to watch the NBA preseason games in China.

When this ratings data was transmitted to the CCTV control center, the leaders of the TV station were smiling so much that their faces bloomed!

Huge ratings mean more advertising dollars and greater influence, no matter which point it is, it is a lot of benefits for TV stations;

NBA President Silva, who was sitting on the rostrum of the Wukebai Basketball Stadium with the leaders of the Chinese Sports Federation and the Basketball Association, was almost excited to faint when he received the ratings data from his assistant.

For Europeans and Americans, one million people is already an unimaginably large number, let alone 100 million or even 200 million TV viewers.

In the United States, it is rare for Game 7 of the Finals to have a TV audience of more than 30 million people, depending on the popularity and heritage of the two teams.

But in Huaxia, a preseason game not only attracted more than 14,000 fans to watch and cheer on the spot, but also attracted more than 10,000 times the TV audience, which is really amazing!

In the United States, it is rare for Game 7 of the Finals to have a TV audience of more than 30 million people, depending on the popularity and heritage of the two teams.

But in Huaxia, a preseason game not only attracted more than 14,000 fans to watch and cheer on the spot, but also attracted more than 10,000 times the TV audience, which is really amazing!

The ultra-high ratings made Silva affirm the correctness of the 'Chinese strategy' he adopted, and perhaps the NBA could increase the development of the Chinese market and make it a part of the league.

In order to fully display the charm of the NBA league, everything in the preseason is strictly followed by the regular season and even the playoffs, including the player entrance ceremony and cheerleading performances.

Of course, at the Lakers' entrance ceremony, the three glittering NBA championship trophies attracted the attention of countless people.

In order to pay tribute to Chinese fans, the Lakers specially transported the O'Brien Cup won by the team in the past three years from the team showroom to China to display it before the game began.

The appearance of the trophy attracted deafening cheers from the fans, and those Chinese players holding the trophy in their arms made all Chinese fans even more honored.

Through the grand and lively entrance ceremony, the atmosphere of the scene has reached a peak, and everyone is looking forward to the start of the competition.

The Bulls are weak, and even in the East, where the average level is lower, it will not be easy for it to break into the Eastern Conference Finals.

For this reason, when the game officially began, the Lakers quickly took over the game by relying on the strength of two grades higher than their opponents.

In the almost crazy cheers and cheers of the fans, the Lakers launched a 12-0 attack wave in the first quarter of the game, and finally led the Bulls with a score of 31-19, almost making the game lose suspense.

In fact, this situation is also normal, after all, the Lakers are not only slightly stronger, but the players have conserved more physical strength during the long long flight.

After all, the comfort of Lakers players being able to sit in a first-class seat and enjoy a variety of exquisite cuisine prepared by this top chef is simply unparalleled. Although other teams also arrived in China on charter flights, their huge bodies are relatively awkward even if they lie in the first class cabin of a civil flight.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Lakers, who have been waiting for work, have the advantage on the court.

Sure enough, in the ensuing game, the Lakers suppressed the Bulls' play in all aspects, and the 118-93, 25-point victory allowed the Lakers to get off to a good start in the preseason of the Chinese series.

After the game, there were not many reports on the game itself in the major media, but they talked about all kinds of anecdotes after the team's arrival in Beiping, which also made fans talk a lot after dinner.

For the Lakers today, winning is not news, and if they lose, this is what the media and the public like to see.

…………

After the game against the Bulls, the Lakers continued to stay in Beiping for one night, and the next morning they participated in a business event and a public welfare event, and after lunch, they went to Beiping International Airport to prepare to fly to Haizhou on the 'Meng Yao'.

Last night's wonderful performance of the Lakers won the unanimous recognition of Chinese fans and media, so the team's two activities this morning attracted a large number of media reporters and fans.

With the 'Mengyao' taking off, Peking basketball fans have some regrets in their hearts, just one game, everyone is naturally not enjoyable enough.

Of course, soon another NBA team arrived in Peking and had a matchup with the Bulls, and that was the Cavaliers who used enough James!

In this year's preseason, there will be a total of three preseason games in Beiping, and it is undoubtedly a blessing that Chinese fans can witness the best basketball game in the world within a week!

…………

It only took two hours for the 'Meng Yao' to arrive in Haizhou, where the Lakers will play a preseason game against a special team!

Since selecting Yao Da from Haizhou as the first round champion, the Rockets have almost become the home team of Chinese fans.

For the majority of Chinese fans, the Rockets have recorded many memories of their youth, and Yao Dayi's 10 years in the NBA league undoubtedly made everyone unforgettable.

Therefore, even though there is no longer any Chinese player in the Rockets, the arrival of the Rockets in Haizhou still attracts the attention of countless fans.

Of course, Xiao Feng's Lakers also have a huge influence in Haizhou, and this preseason game is destined to become very meaningful.

…………

The hotel where the Lakers and Rockets stayed in Haizhou is the Four Seasons Hotel in the World Financial Center, and in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the 68th floor, people can see the dazzling night view of the entire Haizhou City.

For example, many mainstream media have never taken the initiative to report on the great achievements of China's reform and opening up on a large scale, and in the minds of many European and American people, China is still a poor and backward place.

This phenomenon is not limited to ordinary people, and these well-informed NBA players are no exception.

The Lakers are a little better, because of Xiao Feng and several Chinese players, the players will take the initiative to learn all kinds of information about Huaxia, and their understanding of Huaxia is beyond the level of ordinary people.

As for many players of the Rockets, they were also deeply shocked after seeing the brilliant night scene of Haizhou.

You know, Haizhou's skyscrapers and neon lights have surpassed Los Angeles, and only New York can compare with it.

A country with such a great city must not be as unbearable as the media portrays it, right? )
