The NBA preseason is a warm-up game played by teams before the start of the NBA regular season.

Because at the end of each season, each team has considerable changes in the lineup, in order to let each team run in the lineup, familiarize themselves with their respective teams' playing style, determine the lineup of each team for the new season, and also improve the communication between players and coaches.

So before the start of each season, the NBA holds several preseason games so that they can be in better shape for the long regular season games.

NBA preseason games generally have 3 major characteristics:

First, run in the lineup, enrich the style of play, and test the competitive state of new and old players.

There are about 8 preseason games for each team, and in order to avoid the main players getting tired before they fight, the main players in this kind of game generally do not play more than 30 minutes, so it is also an opportunity for substitutes to take the opportunity to show themselves.

Second, warm up for the NBA regular season.

In order to better attract fans to watch the NBA regular season and playoffs, NBA officials also make full use of the preseason to build momentum for the new season of NBA games.

For example, after O'Neal transferred from the Lakers to the Heat in 2005-2006, the preseason game between the Rockets and the Heat was promoted by the NBA as the "new version of Yao Shark Wars".

In addition, many of the major preseason matches between the top teams will also be televised locally or nationally, and will receive as much attention as the regular season.

So initially, the preseason was free for fans, and in recent years, tickets have also been sold.

Third, promote the NBA and expand its overseas influence.

With the further maturity of the NBA's commercial operation and the acceleration of the internationalization process, the NBA has sent many teams to play preseason games overseas in order to cater to the tastes of international fans and expand overseas markets, and Japan, Mexico, Spain, France and other countries have hosted such games.

Since 1978, the NBA has hosted more than 100 preseason and regular season games in 19 countries and regions in Europe, the Americas and Asia.

As the No. 4 show in the first round of this year, Lin Mu, who is quite outstanding in both fame and popularity, has naturally become one of the targets of the league's publicity.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, a new team that has just changed its name, has qualified for this year's NBA overseas games because of Lin Mu's existence, and is expected to increase the team's popularity around the world.

Thunder owner Kerry Bennett takes this very seriously, and this will be the best opportunity to increase the team's market value!

Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, New Jersey Nets and Los Angeles Lakers will travel to China to bring a unique NBA basketball feast to many Chinese fans at the Guangzhou Stadium and Wukesong Stadium.

When the final selection of teams was announced on the official website of the NBA, many attentive Chinese fans quickly discovered that these four NBA teams all have local players from China.

Lin Mu, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue!

The four basketball players representing the pinnacle of Chinese basketball will represent different NBA teams and face off in this vast loess land.

Although this is only a symbolic warm-up game, its popularity is even far greater than that of the NBA playoffs!

Many Chinese fans have long been enthusiastic, and such a basketball era makes everyone proud.

"It's a business alliance, and the itinerary of this derby battle is really wonderful!"

Stern, the old boy, really wants to open up the Chinese market and promote the NBA to the world.

It's just a pity that your successor is too useless, and after so many years of hard work, he has not been able to make the NBA go further.

You know, when a pure business alliance began to design those political affairs, the original purpose of the alliance had already changed.

Businessmen seek profit, this is the nature of alliances.

Time came to October 13th, the preseason schedule that opened on October 5th, the Thunder has completed three games with the Suns, Hornets and Wizards, Lin Mu and Durant's dual-core combination played a very bright performance, one offense and one defense, and the Thunder's starting lineup showed very good chemistry.

Now, they're going to get on a plane and head to the mysterious Eastern Continent.

Kevin Durant, who went abroad for the first time, couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

"Lin Mu, that's your hometown, I heard that the people there know ese-Kong-fu, and their combat effectiveness is very explosive!"

Durant seems to be a talker, and with the deepening of friendship, this product has been able to be "unscrupulous" in front of Lin Mu.

Nothing to say!

Even what he talked to his sister on the Internet on the software yesterday, Durant would repeat it to Lin Mu.

"How can I say it, with a small body like you, you can only go to the construction site to move bricks."

"In our village, you may not even be able to marry a wife!"

...

As soon as he got on the plane, Lin Mu saw an extremely familiar face.

"! Can I see you here? ”

"Today's stockings are very good, if they were a little thinner, it would be even better!"

"It's only October, and the weather in Guangzhou is very hot." Lin Mu said to the flight attendant in front of him with a wicked smile, and at the same time sighed in his heart, this world is really too small!

"Don't talk nonsense, the company stipulates that stockings can't be too thin."

"If you want to see it, I can wear it in private." When Lin Mu passed by, the stewardess whispered in her ear.

With a slight flush under his fair face, how could Lin Mu, who had been through a hundred battles, not know that the flood had flooded, and it would be too late if he didn't leave!

"Forget it, I'm not in a hurry to go up the tree, the water is too deep there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mu's mobile phone rang.

"I'm all the way north, leaving the season with you..."

, Jinnyima spoils the atmosphere!

Open the clamshell version of Nokia, and the name of the person who came was the word Wei Shao.

"Are you alright? It's okay to hang up. ”

After speaking, Lin Mu directly turned off his mobile phone.

On the other end, Wei Shao listened to the sound of all in his ears in a daze.

When he called back again, the other party's mobile phone had been turned off.

"I..."

The dog is better than Lin Mu, if I call you again, it will be a dog.

"Jingle bell..."

Suddenly, the phone rang, Wei Shao hurriedly picked it up, and when he looked at the screen, it was Lefu calling.

"Are you alright? It's okay to hang up! ”

After speaking, Wei Shao turned off his mobile phone.

Then he threw himself on the bed, found his girlfriend unhappily, and began a breakthrough after dribbling.

In the end, Lefu was left alone in cold Minnesota.

When the plane arrived at the finish line, many fans spontaneously came to the airport to pick them up, just to welcome the hero of the Chinese men's basketball team, the young man who gave everything on the Olympic field.

Returning again, he is no longer an obscure college player, but one of the future successors of the Oklahoma City Thunder, a potential new star who has been focused on cultivating!
