Chapter 41: A Rich Home Atmosphere
Sacramento, California.
The Clippers' first game of the regular season was played in Sacramento, at the Sleep Train Arena. The day before the game, Wei Zhiming traveled to Sacramento with the team in a car.
The city of Sacramento is the fifth most populous city in California, and its beautiful surroundings and transportation meant that Sacramento was an important populator during the gold rush of the 19th century.
At the start of the regular season, Reeves gave a death order that he would not allow players to go to nightclubs at night when they were playing away games.
Paul immediately agreed, and Wei Zhiming also echoed, the two of them have a strong desire for a championship, and the other wants to prove himself in the NBA.
Subsequently, all the players said that they would be serious about the game and would not have other ideas.
After arriving in Sacramento, Wei sat inside the hotel and watched the King's video, focusing on the player to watch who was at the heart of the King's rise, DeMarcus Cousin, known as his cousin.
At the start of the regular season, his goal was to compete for the Rookie of the Year title.
Cousins is very good, powerful, soft-handed, and can shoot a three-pointer, but his only drawback is that he is easily swayed by emotions.
He's very emotionally unstable, and it's the same on the pitch.
"I can take advantage of him and trick him into fouling and even shoot at me." Wei Zhiming immediately jumped to try, he hadn't spewed trash talk for a long time, and his mouth was a little itchy.
"Then I just need to act realistically, and there's a good chance that I'll just get him off." Wei Zhiming's eyes lit up, and suddenly he thought that his actor was only 33, and he was not angry.
"I don't accept the system, my actor value can reach 88!" Wei Zhiming said that if he meets Harden, Ginobili and others, he will play on the same stage with them.
On October 29, the Clippers played the first game of the regular season against the Sacramento Kings.
In the away locker room, Reaves was ambitious, he looked at his soldiers and said, "Our goal this year is still the championship, and today we are in Sacramento, we are going to kick the Sacramento's ass and let the victory be ours." ”
"Do you have faith?"
"Yes!" Wei Zhiming's group roared angrily, to be honest, Reeves' chicken soup ability is very good.
"Well done, Lance, today you play the starting No. 3, remember, don't let me down." Reeves waved his hand, and when Stephenson heard it, he immediately jumped up with joy: "Coach, don't worry, I will bring my superstar talent to the court." ”
After Reeves finished speaking, Wei Zhiming subconsciously glanced at Wesley Johnson, and he found that Wesley Johnson's face darkened for a moment, and then returned to normal.
Wesley Johnson is a low-key player who is very obedient and big-pictured, and is a coach's favorite player.
Wei Zhiming's relationship with him can only be said to be average, Stephenson has a good relationship with him, he can start, Wei Zhiming can only congratulate him.
Everyone was ready, Wei Zhiming stood in the middle, and he walked into the court through the long passage.
Although Wei Zhiming has played a few preseason games, he is still excited.
The Sacramento Kings DJ introduced the Clippers players in a weak voice, and it felt like constipation.
Even Chris Paul, who seems to be like a normal player in the King's DJ.
When the Kings fans saw Paul, Griffin, and Jordan Jr. on the court, they immediately let out a huge boo, which was deafening, and Wei Zhiming was stunned anyway.
"Is this the real NBA, is this the regular season?" Wei Zhiming was booed in the sky, he only felt extremely excited, why would the fans boo Griffin, Paul, and Jordan Jr.? Because they are strong, they are the Big Three of the Clippers.
"How's it going, how does it feel?" Behind Wei Zhiming, Bamot said with envy on his face, when can he be so popular.
"Excited, excited, it feels so good." Wei Zhiming said loudly that this is the NBA of his dreams.
Suddenly, the lights disappeared, and a mesmerizing purple light shone through the field, and the King's players began to appear in the arena amid the loud calls of the players on the field.
First up was Kings small forward Rudy Gay. The King's DJ suddenly roared wildly, as if it had been resolved smoothly at once.
"Come and let us welcome our King's star, Rudy!!! Guy! ”
Wei Zhiming was dumbfounded, the atmosphere of this scene was too strong.
The second to appear is the star point guard who just moved to the Kings this year, Rajon Rondo, the star point guard who started the '08 championship is also very depressed at the moment, without the momentum of the year.
Immediately after that, the King's players entered the court one by one, and the King's DJ was much quieter.
Suddenly, the purple beam of light swirled wildly, and the atmosphere of the scene suddenly rose to a higher level, and Wei Zhiming immediately looked sideways at the king's passage.
The king's star player, DeMarcus Cousins, slowly ran out of the tunnel with handsome steps, and for a while, the fans roared wildly, constantly cheering for Cousins.
The King's DJ also went crazy, and he roared in a super high pitch that surpassed the Tibetan Plateau: "Finally, our superstar, our star of the game, DeMarcus!!!!!! Cousins appears. ”
"What a strong atmosphere, such an arrogant shout." Wei Zhiming muttered, and after Crawford heard Wei Zhiming's words, he turned around and smiled: "You haven't seen our Clippers' home stadium yet, and it's even more scary for you." ”
Wei Zhiming asked with a smile: "Then who is cheering the loudest now?" Bryant? LeBron? Chris? ”
Crawford shook his head: "This still needs to be asked, it must be Kobe, you never know, in Los Angeles, whether it is the home court of the Clippers or the home of the Lakers, as long as we play with the Lakers, it will definitely become the home court of the Lakers." ”
"Kobe Bryant even heard the fans calling for MVP even on some away roads, which he won with his own strength, and 5 championships explained everything." Speaking of championships, Crawford looked envious, he has not won a championship until now.
No, it's not just him, the Clippers are a young team in the league, and their best result is only the second round.
The Clippers' current Big Three, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan, don't have a championship ring.
"Yes, strength is recognition." Wei Zhiming nodded, and at this time, the American national anthem sounded on the king's home field.
Soon, the game began, as it was the first game of the regular season, and the Clippers' Ballmer watched the game with the team. On the King's side, the daughter of the Kings' owner, the charming Agary Ranadave, was sitting in the front row at the moment, watching her team's first regular season game.
