San Antonio.

Originally, according to the general situation, the playoff series starts, and the side with the lowest record will go to the opponent's home city two days in advance, first, to adjust the physical and mental condition, and second, to familiarize themselves with the venue, and strive to play their best in the game.

After all, after the end of the regular season, there will be a few days of rest until the first round of the playoffs begins. In these days, the away team can arrive early, and there will be more time. You don't have to be away from home the day before the game, or even on the day of the game, as you did during the regular season.

But this time around, the Kings were in a bit of a special situation, and they didn't leave Sacramento for San Antonio until the morning of the game.

"The reason is simple, it's because after the last game of the regular season, the league has tracked and punished the incident in the player tunnel. The Kings are suspended by two big players, and the team's planned first-round rotation in the playoffs must have been greatly affected. ”

On the sidelines, Kefan, a commentator from a Chinese website, flew directly to the United States, ready to bring the most authentic NBA games to the majority of domestic fans watching the game through the Internet.

It is not difficult to see from the selection of the number of games that although domestic Internet companies have strong financial resources, they are still not a very important way to spread in the eyes of NBA officials. Otherwise, if you can choose, the game of choosing Philadelphia will definitely attract the attention of domestic audiences, after all, this season's playoffs, no matter from which point of view, the probability of Philadelphia advancing and hitting the championship is more than 10 million times that of the Kings.

But the fact is that Kefan of the Zalang Company finally came to San Antonio to explain the series without any suspense no matter how you look at this round. I believe that this is also a helpless move on the part of the slag waves, and there must be no choice before I have to do this.

If you think about it carefully, it's no wonder that in China, watching games on the Internet is already a very common thing. With the continuous upgrading of broadband bandwidth, every household has a computer, and the BA competition is held during the day, most of everyone is in school or company units, and it is obviously more practical to watch the game with computers or mobile phones.

But in the United States, watching football online is not everyone's first choice, and the pay TV viewing habits formed over the years, as well as the more friendly game time and other factors, make Lao Mei still more accustomed to sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Therefore, the NBA does not seem to realize that the Internet is a more important position to promote the NBA overseas, especially in Asia.

It's not that Za Lang hasn't worked hard, but it's a pity that the NBA official has already signed an exclusive contract with China TV, and Philadelphia's domestic live broadcast rights for the playoffs were all bought by China TV.

To say that the king competition seems to be very attractive, Gu Yu's popularity has also skyrocketed in China in recent years, and there is a trend of catching up with Chen Mu soon.

But this point is for fans, and for passers-by, no matter how explosive the performance of the star is, it is not more attractive than the division of the dynasty. There will always be more honey to win than to win the team.

This may not be seen on online forums, after all, fans who will specifically land on basketball websites are always a minority in the viewing group. Most of the people who don't go to the forum are the real main force of the ratings.

You haven't seen it for many years, as soon as the World Cup arrives, many people who don't care about football at all will immediately pop up in the big guys' circle of friends and Weibo. "Germany is the first in the world!" And so on, so that the real fans are a little scoffed.

But there is no way, those people are the groups that TV stations and online media want to win over the most.

Some fans once said that when the NBA entered the era of giants, they were worried that the NBA had entered the worst era, and the best teams would always be only a few teams, and the rest of the teams would not have the slightest hope of winning the championship, and the attention of the NBA would continue to decline in the future.

In the years when Chen Mu ruled the NBA, this kind of remark was even more noisy and was recognized by many fans.

But in fact, this is not the case, passers-by and audiences love to watch the dynasty, the winning generals, the absolute trump card, and the grievances of the wealthy.

What is a group of heroes, what is one person and one city, and what is shining, that is only liked by fans, and passers-by don't care at all.

People can't even tell how many teams there are in the NBA, and you still expect him to fall in love with a league of champions? Come on!

The best time for NBA ratings is the Bulls Dynasty, OK Dynasty, and Chen Mu's Philadelphia Dynasty.

After the collapse of the football fan's favorite OK dynasty, the era of those years when the heroes rose together and anyone could win the championship was a scuffle in the eyes of passers-by, and it was not good at all.

At the end of the day, the league that fans want to see represents only a few. The league not only will not oppress the giants, but hopes that the giants will always be strong, and only those ace teams will always support the façade.

Because only then will the commercial value of the NBA be the greatest.

Otherwise, why is the New York Knicks rotten most of these years, and the team's market value is still the first in the league? Why has the back of the Purple and Gold Dynasty long since dissipated, and the Lakers jerseys are still selling well?

The market, interests, decide everything.

"The Kings' trip to San Antonio, which had been scheduled two days ago, was delayed due to the temporary suspension of players. According to the news of the American counterpart, the Kings coaching staff and the players talked and argued all night long, and discussed the Spurs' lineup and the players' respective states for a long time before finally deciding on today's starting lineup. So the whole trip was postponed, and I didn't get to San Antonio until noon today. ”

Sitting on a small solo live broadcast platform, surrounded by various pre-match comments from commentators in various Chinese dialects, Kefan was still a little stressed.

The current fans are amazing, they watch a lot of games with the original commentary, and their understanding of basketball is not lower than that of Kefan. If you make a mistake in your pre-game comments, you don't know what you'll be scolded for when you pounce on the dog.

"The situation of the Kings can only be described as a roof leak that happened to rain overnight. The first is that Paul George is still recovering from a serious injury, and his return date is undecided. The second is that Andrew Bynum was injured again, and he did not play in the last few games of the regular season, and it is said that the probability of a comeback in the first round is not very high. The third is the suspension of Wei Shao and Green, although there is only one game, but in this game, facing the Spurs who are fully played, the Kings are likely to lose away. Even if there is a difference in strength between the two sides, the defeat in the first game will have a great psychological impact on the Kings players, and it may be a fatal blow. ”

Keeping it as professional as possible, Kefan suppressed the black fan impulse in his heart and continued: "Everyone knows that the Kings are an extremely typical team that plays emotional ball. When the wind is going well, don't talk about the Spurs, even if the dream comes, it may not be able to beat them. But if things don't go their way, there is a good chance that the team will collapse. We've seen this situation too many times this season, and every time the Kings collapse, there's only one cousin left to hold on. ”

"If my cousin's individual scoring, his crazy singles, helped the Kings get over the collapse stage, then the Kings could be inspired to rise again. But if even his cousin could not cover the sky with one hand, the king would have lost miserably. That's why the Kings have a poor season this season. ”

Not stable enough.

The problem that Covan is talking about is the unanimous judgment of basketball experts around the world about the Kings team.

On the cards, if the king can stay healthy, the offensive and defensive strength, the wholeness, and especially the future growth are extremely scary.

But health and mentality have become the most difficult obstacles to overcome in front of the Kings.

"The players on both sides are warming up, and we see that the Kings players and the Spurs players have barely communicated with each other!"

On the court, the warm-up of players on both sides is underway, and on the King's side, after Wei Shao and Green watched from the wall, the players who can play are indeed a little insufficient.

It's normal that there is no communication, and before and after the last game, everyone was so unpleasant. The little face that was built up through the handshake after the game also disappeared with the dispute between Wei Shao, Green and the Spurs players, as well as the subsequent ban.

In this game, between the Kings and the Spurs, two teams that could not be regarded as long-cherished rivals and did not have too many historical grievances, there were quite wonderful battle sparks before the game began.

"Bang bang bang...... Call! ”

Gu Yu stood in the center of the court, every movement, every dribble, every shot, the Spurs were at home......

“BOOOOOOOO——！！”

There will be an overwhelming boo.

"Tsk, these guys are really ......" Parker is really a little unbearable, Spurs fans are warm, that's notoriously, but the enthusiasm is too much, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing.

Especially for a monster like Gu Yu, the more you provoke him, the more likely he is to play a devastating performance.

OK.

Looking at the king's half, the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals couldn't get into Parker's eyes at all.

Fortunately, they are very short of soldiers and major generals, and only one cousin is left in the starting five, otherwise, this game is really not easy to play!

"We also heard that the Spurs booed at home! Before the game started, the fans who had entered the stadium in advance to watch the warm-up of the two teams had already begun to interfere with them! ”

Ke Fan liked this chaotic situation the most, his tone became excited, and he looked at Gu Yu with interest and said: "The situation in this game is overwhelmingly unfavorable, if the Kings want to resist it, cousin, I'm afraid he will have to use his life's work!" ”

Gu Yu has been silent.

About half an hour later.

Race, start.
