On October 10, 2002, the opening day of the Los Angeles Clippers' new arena, the Los Angeles Clippers spent three years building a new multi-purpose basketball garden in downtown Los Angeles, which was officially completed and opened to the public at the beginning of the new season. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this new arena named BAT Center, will be in the NBA new season, as the Los Angeles Clippers' home arena, put into official use, and the entire basketball garden, not only basketball games, training halls, but also a lot of entertainment facilities, bars, nightclubs, is one of the indispensable projects.

This day is also a very important day for Dennis Rodman, today his jersey will be held in this new arena retirement ceremony, although for Rodman to leave the jersey in the Los Angeles Clippers approach, many people have expressed opposition, but Rodman still insisted on doing his own thing, the Los Angeles Clippers also attach great importance to this, the jersey retirement ceremony, and the opening activities together, from then on, the Los Angeles Clippers home game, Rodman's jersey would float over the arena.

There are many basketball celebrities who rushed to the scene this day, Michael Jordan, Scott Pippen, as Rodman's former teammates, all appeared on the scene, it is worth mentioning that Isaiah Thomas also came today, he used to be Rodman's teammate during the Detroit Pistons, and it was very reasonable to appear, but the grievances between Isaiah Thomas and Michael Jordan are known throughout the United States, when Jordan was in the Dream Team, he also boycotted Isaiah Thomas, claiming that as long as Isaiah Thomas was selected for the Dream Team, Jordan would not join the Dream Team. The feud between the two has been going on for a long time, so no one could have imagined that the two would appear together at Rodman's jersey retirement ceremony.

Stevens and Andy, as the management of the team, presided over and conducted the unveiling ceremony, the appearance of the new arena, the spherical building, the stadium can accommodate nearly 250000 spectators, built with the latest building materials, but also added a lot of high-tech technology, the arena has an honor corridor, which displays, some photos of the Los Angeles Clippers and commemorative items, the 2000-2001 championship trophy, is placed in the honor room of the arena.

Although today is the opening of the new stadium, fans and spectators who want to enter the stadium still need to buy tickets, because today Tiger held an exhibition game for Rodman, just like when the world's famous football star retired, Tiger wants to hold such a farewell game for Rodman in the new stadium, the two teams of the game, namely Tiger Friends and Rodman Friends.

Most of the Rodman friends are Rodman's former teammates, and many of them are now retired, like Isaiah Thomas and Jordan, and Charles Barkley also appeared on the Rodman friends team as one of Rodman's friends. And in Tiger's friend team, it is mainly composed of Los Angeles Clippers players, of course, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, as Tiger's friends, also appeared in it, this is a very important day for Tiger, as one of Tiger's few friends, how can the three of them be absent?

This game, mainly entertainment, Tiger and other big-name players, all played a few minutes in the first quarter, and went off the court to chat, the new season is about to start, everyone regards this exhibition game, as a gathering of friends before the new season, the atmosphere is very relaxed, everyone has no defense, there are a lot of wonderful cooperation in the game, and many dunk performances, even better than the All-Star Game, after all, everyone has no gain or loss in this game.

However, Garnett seemed very excited today, Rodman invited the Detroit Pistons, the villain Bill Lambier in the Bad Boys Army, Garnett can still feel the oppression from this veteran who has been retired for many years when Garnett is in the opposite position with Ranbill, which is no longer seen in the league now, no matter what the outside world says about Ranbill, his achievements are definitely worthy of respect.

The physical strength and ability of the veterans are not as good as before, although the Tiger friends team, has played very casually, but in the end it is still a 5-point advantage, the victory, of course, what the score, in fact, no one cares, the audience is also, intoxicated in a nostalgic complex, for every player who played, have sent the warmest applause, today there is no enemy here, all friends. After the game, Tiger held a grand party to entertain all the stars in attendance, drawing a final and successful end to the opening ceremony. The next day, many of them will leave Los Angeles to start preparing for the upcoming season.

In the new season, the Los Angeles Clippers have changed again, Arenas, Michael Reed, Sean Battle, all three were traded out in the summer, Arenas in the last period of last season, and Ginobili's conflict was almost public, which is absolutely not allowed in the Los Angeles Clippers, Ginobili is a veteran player who once won the championship with the team, his character and way of playing have long been accepted by the team, so when choosing, the team did not hesitate to choose and trade Arenas out.

As for the departure of Michael Reed and Sean Battier, it was Tiger who suggested that before the trade, Tiger also had a special interview with the two of them, and both of them are very capable, and staying with the Los Angeles Clippers will only mislead their development. Rather than stay in the team and have a bigger conflict in the future, it is better to send them away and let them go on their own.

At the time of this transaction, Andy was no longer as greedy as last summer, but accepted Tiger's suggestion, traded all of the draft picks for next year, and made a helpless look to lose weight for the team's guard line, in fact, Tiger's inside has already calculated, 2003 is a draft year, 03 platinum generation has a lot of excellent players, and when it comes to next summer, many teams' draft picks will be sought-after, and it is difficult to trade, so Tiger made the first move and got a few draft picks first.

The Los Angeles Clippers still didn't have a good pick in this year's draft, and as the third-ranked team in the West last season, it was unrealistic to get a good draft pick. No. 24 in the first round, they hijacked Carlos Boozer, and in the second round, they slipped the unpopular Udonis Haslem back, these two players are all interior players, and their arrival will once again make up for the lack of personnel in the Los Angeles Clippers.

The preseason of the new season will start on October 16, and the Los Angeles Clippers will once again attack the championship trophy! (To be continued.) )
