On the second day of the King's closed practice, the Rockets narrowly defeated the Warriors 98-92, won the series with a score of 4-1, and got the last ticket to the Western Conference Finals, and the Warriors' journey to defend the title failed.

At the same time, the results of the Eastern Conference semifinals are gradually revealed, and the 76ers of the Youth Army, led by Embiid and Simmons, lead the Raptors by a score of 3-2, and the name of "garbage brothers" seems to be deRozan and Lowry again.

The game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers is also about to have the last game of the 7-tiebreaker, and they are more favored by the outside world with home court advantage.

In the King's new base, Zhang Feng, Carter, Mason, Randolph, and Justin sat on the floor near the halfline, and Love helped Willy practice his face-frame offensive skills under the basket, and the rest of the people were also busy.

"Have you heard? Tomorrow's game, we will have a super cool opening ceremony prepared for the scene" Mason gestured with his hands, his face full of excitement.

"Hey, what's so cool, it's nothing more than a little lighting effect, at most invite a second-rate obvious to do the opening performance, I've seen a lot, right?" Randolph asked casually.

Kater nodded and said: "Well, after so many years of playoffs, I haven't seen any new tricks, it's nothing more than an additional publicity method to sell tickets better."

Hearing this, Mason shook his head and said: "It's definitely not to sell tickets, we played the first game of the Thunder, and the tickets for the Western Conference Finals have been pre-sold, I heard that it only took 2 seconds, and many fans didn't grab it with the ticket grabbing software."

In 2 seconds, it was almost enough to catch up with the speed of the Chinese Spring Festival to grab train tickets, such a speed made Carter and Randolph stunned, but Zhang Feng laughed and said: "Aren't those fans who haven't grabbed it with software very angry?" ”。

"Of course, I see that there are angry people on Twitter who smash computers, and there are people who complain about telecommunications companies, but the fans who grabbed the tickets are not happy," Mason continued.

"Why? Not happy to grab it? Carter and Randolph asked in unison.

"The website crashed, there were too many people visiting our team's website at the same time, I heard that the server was down, and it took a long time to recover the data," Mason said.

"Indian programmers are really unreliable, they must be relatives of the boss, and the World of Warcraft I play is often made impossible to log in by Indian programmers. I'm sorry, it doesn't seem appropriate to say that......" Justin stopped suddenly halfway through his words, looked at Zhang Feng embarrassedly, and complained that the boss was okay, but it was embarrassing to complain about his colleague's father-in-law.

Zhang Feng waved his hand to show that he didn't need to be nervous, and he asked, "Then it seems that there will really be a chic opening ceremony?" ”。

While a few people were chatting, there was a rehearsal of the event in the Golden One Arena, and although there were not many staff on site, it seemed to be busy, either standing or walking, and no one stopped to rest.

Even the king pulled the plate Rana Divi was debugging something back and forth in front of the computer, and just when he was frowning, Deputy General Manager Brandon walked over to him with an excited face.

"Boss, through the drill just now, all the technical problems have been solved, but it's just ......"

"But what? If you have a question, just say it! ”

"People are interested in whether to include ...... that may cause disgust among fans"

"Then I'll make a decision, add it, I'm sure Sacramento fans won't feel uncomfortable because of this, trust me"

"Alright, I'll do it", Rana Divi made the decision himself, and Brandon immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fast forward to the day of the King's game against the Rockets, which coincided with Sunday, and just after noon, the streets of Sacramento began to crowd.

Saska is located on the west coast of the United States, adjacent to California's most prosperous Los Angeles and San Francisco areas in the south, and Las Vegas in the southeast.

After the traffic entered Satha City, it dispersed to various streets, all trying to get to the Golden One Center as soon as possible, including many fans who had not bought tickets at all, and they went to the big screen outside the stadium and the bar near the stadium.

There were many Chinese fans who flew to Los Angeles en masse and then chartered a special bus to Sacramento, where they painted pictures of Zhang Feng on the roof and sides of the car, and the sound of the car was filled with small flags printed with Kings players.

Such a rare sight attracted the attention of major TV stations, and TNT interviewed a Chinese fan.

"Are you all from China here to cheer for Zhang Feng?"

"Yes, there are too few Chinese team leaders in the NBA, he is the only one after Yao Ming, but he has gone further than Yao Ming, this Western Conference Finals, let's cheer him up"

"The Rockets also have a Chinese player, Zhou Qi, don't you support him?"

"Of course, I also support, the palms and backs of our hands are all meat, so we deliberately went to the scene to watch the game, support two at a time, save time, effort and money, why not?"

TNT's answer was not satisfactory, and they interviewed more Chinese fans, but they got similar answers, so they had to give up.

The traffic congestion continued until 7 p.m., when most of the fans had already entered, and those who did not have entered the stadium had found a suitable place to watch the game.

Before the pre-match ceremony took place, all the fans inside and outside the Golden One Arena were wearing King Purple T-shirts, even Hollywood big-names Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Lawrence and others.

On the front of the T-shirt, a cartoon photo of the King's whole team is printed, and Zhang Feng's portrait is the most obvious; On the reverse side of the T-shirt, 'We are the kings' are written in Chinese and English.

The first session was the singing of the national anthem, and then the players of the two teams left the field, the lights of the whole stadium were dimmed, and a deep voice slowly sounded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the Sacramento Kings."

As soon as these words came out, the fans wondered, this is about to play the Western Conference Finals, why is it necessary to popularize a wave of King history before the game? Is it difficult to use voice to broadcast and explain? It's too weird, right?

I wondered, but the fans couldn't help but look at the field.

I saw a different kind of light from the big screen in the center of the ball, and it was different because this light was different from the usual lighting, and it seemed to have a special effect.

Sure enough, shortly after the light gathered, a pattern slowly rose from the floor, then gradually evolved into a three-dimensional pattern, and finally, turned into a coat of arms similar to the king's previous logo.

In the TNT live broadcast room, Oscar Robertson, who was invited to the scene, exclaimed: "Is this the Rochester Royals emblem, or did I see it when I was a child, what is the king doing?" ”

"I see!" Kenny clapped his hands and shouted, "This is the new 3D technology, the Kings are trying to do an unprecedented NBA opening show, didn't they say to introduce the Kings?" Next should be the Cincinnati Royals emblem."

"Boss King is also arrogant, right? This technique is about the equivalent of taking bundles of dollars and burning them just for an opening effect, is it worth it? Barkley shook his head, seemingly disapproving.

"What's not worth it? After so many years, I finally got back to the top, and there was nothing wrong with spending some money on a cool opening ceremony, maybe this one will sell out the tickets for next season," O'Neill said firmly.
