"Is this the legendary fan meeting...... What are you looking at me for, not going to rub a few more pictures? Are you saying envy in your eyes? No way, I have absolutely no envy ......"

Big Q looked at the boss with broken thoughts, what did he say about him? What kind of look did he give? He didn't!

He just came to ask the boss why he didn't go to take a photo together, and his teammates went to rub the camera.

But what he can be sure of - the boss is envious.

At 7:30 p.m., the Clippers entered the court at Arco Arena, and the cheers from the crowd never stopped.

The Kings players also took photos with Jordan and the Clippers players who rubbed the camera one by one.

Jordan's first game of his comeback, although it was a preseason game, fell to the Kings, and the local tourism market was on fire.

According to local media, more than 50,000 tourists came to Sacramento yesterday, setting a new record for a single day of visitor visits to the city.

Tickets for a preseason game are priced at an exaggerated price of $25.

The ticket price for the first row on the sidelines is as high as $500.

The average price and the highest price per ticket have broken the all-time record for NBA preseason games.

This is still in short supply, when Li Ao was surfing the Internet after the noon practice, he saw that there were scalpers selling tickets in the forum, and the grandstand tickets with a face price of 10 US dollars shouted 100 US dollars, and they were ordered as soon as they were shipped, if the scalpers bought the tickets at the original price, it was 900% profit, as if picking up money.

He deliberately went to the fan forums of the preseason opponents who played in the back 3 away games, and although the scalpers market is not as good as the Kings here, it is also exaggerated.

This fan appeal can be said to be the only one among North American athletes, and it may even be difficult for anyone to compare with it in the world sports arena.

The four top leagues in North America, the NFL, MLB, and NHL are all predicted to shrink in the new season, with a 10%-20% drop in predicted revenue, and the NBA was predicted to decline the most at the beginning, after all, compared to the other three major leagues, the NBA has the weakest foundation, before 1976, the North American basketball market has not been unified, and at most there are 4 leagues known as the "top basketball leagues", and the basketball league in North America is regarded as synonymous with "dirty and messy".

It wasn't until 1979 that the NBA changed its name to Magic and Big Bird, and after 8 years of dominance, the NBA really became one of the 'top leagues in North America'.

However, the economic impact of Jordan's comeback has caused Forbes Sports to revise the NBA's revenue forecast for the new season, and the forecast is the same as last season.

No wonder David Stern came running with Ballmer to be the backdrop for Jordan's comeback show.

But if Jordan's comeback is to save the NBA...... emmm…… It can only be said that the blind cat just ran into a dead mouse.

Jordan must have gotten angry with David Stern a long time ago, otherwise their Clippers shouldn't have been that opponent in the season opener......

The teammates went to rub the camera one by one, Li Ao didn't go to join in the fun, and the stars on the opposite side didn't come for him, his eyes were hot, and he went to the opposite half to shoot hot.

It feels very delicate to shoot in the opponent's half in the pre-game preparation stage.

There was no way, my own half was packed with players and reporters.

Li Ao shot the basket for a while, and when he thought of something, he looked at Adelman on the sidelines on the home team's bench...... The other party didn't even glance at Mike Bibby.

Does Adelman have a talent for identifying potential stocks? Li Ao recalled the seven or eight years that Adelman coached the Rockets and Timberwolves in the original time and space, and it seemed that there was none.

Similar to Larry Brown, this player will only use maturity.

Originally, after the Kings traded white chocolate for the White Devils in '01, Adelman also had a quarrel with Kings general manager Jove Petri.

Without two top general managers, Wally Walker and Jove Petri, Adelman would have had little chance of bringing Princeton to life.

…

At 8 p.m., the Jordan fan meeting finally ended and the game began.

Kings starters: White Chocolate, Doug Christie, Peja, Webb, Divac.

Clippers starters: Bibby, Li Ao, Jordan, Odom, O'Neal Jr.

O'Neal Jr. beat Divac to win the jump ball, and the Clippers went first.

Li Ao quickly played to no avail, and White Chocolate and Doug Christie easily completed the block.

The Clippers fell into a positional battle, and Li Ao was just about to use Jordan's off-ball cover to shake off Doug Christie and start running, when the referee blew the whistle.

Li Ao looked around, there was not even a confrontation, what was the whistle for?

The star of the Magic team sneaked here to watch the game, because he was so happy to see the god of basketball, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and was found out by the referee?

"Uh......"

Li Ao saw the referee's three-second illegal gesture, and immediately reacted.

O'Neal Jr. was on the right side of the three-second zone, and he was about to cover Jordan on his side, but Divac moved to the left sideline of the three-second zone ahead of time and left the area that was arm's length away from O'Neal Jr.

Jordan walked to the free throw line and defended the three-second offending serve.

Li Ao felt that the blow was so strict!

Before the attackers could officially attack, the referee blew the whistle.

But it was blown tightly and the effect was good, after Jordan hit the free throw, the Clippers continued to attack, Li Ao flanked Jordan to block Doug Christie, easily squeezed away Peja, who switched defenses, cut inside, and received the ball with a one-handed dunk to score two points.

Divac didn't dare to withdraw from O'Neal Jr. until Li Ao entered the three-second zone, and at this time, he had no time to make up for the defense, so he could only pick up a ball.

Switching offense and defense, the Kings turned on a Princeton strategy around the Twin Towers.

Webb cut into the frame to catch the ball, and Li Ao, who changed the defense one-on-one, hit a layup.

O'Neill Jr., like Divac, did not dare to defend easily.

They made a lot of preparations for the three-second rule, but when they heard the first whistle on the court, they were still very confused, so they could only follow their defenders so as not to accidentally eat the whistle.

After a few rounds, both teams were able to score on the inside with ease, and Gentry saw that this would not work!

This is also a fart tactical cooperation, and it is almost a slam dunk show that cuts into the fast front.

He called a timeout and adjusted his style of play – ignoring opportunities to attack the frame and practicing tactical coordination with the goal of getting mid-to-long-range shots.

On the defensive end, let O'Neal Jr. take the initiative to test how the referee will execute the 'defensive three-second' blowing penalty.

O'Neal Jr. complained: "What is this breaking the rules, as a center, you can't move around under the basket casually? ”

Li Ao responded: "Just complain, Jermaine, now your chance has come, prove that you are different from others!"

At that time, in order to limit Michael's scoring, the league introduced the 'anti-isolation law', and everyone complained at first.

But there will always be some people who take the initiative to adapt, adapt to the new rules earlier than others, occupy the initiative, and finally win two championships, do you know who it is? ”

"Who?" Little O'Neill thought for a moment: "Magician? Lakers? ”

Jordan was smug when he heard Li Ao's words, forcing the NBA to introduce new rules to limit his scoring, which is one of the proudest things in his basketball career.

I didn't expect O'Neal Jr. to pop up with a Lakers in his mouth, saying that it was his fans?

Jordan snorted and said, "Bad Boy Army, Pistons!" ”

Why is the basketball god angry again? Little O'Neill wasn't afraid.

O'Neal and Duncan are not afraid of him, but he is still afraid of an outside line? And teammates!

He felt that Spider-Man was right, now was not the time to complain, and he could be one step ahead by adapting to the new rules faster than others.

The goal of grabbing the boss position can also be one step closer!

…

After the game restarted, as Kentry expected, the opposite side made the same adjustment.

Divac, like O'Neal Jr., began to move actively to see what kind of movement the referee would blow the whistle and how the movement was 'compliant'.

In the preseason, the league let the referees strictly sound the whistle in order to let the players of each team adapt to the new rules as soon as possible.

As a result, the referee's whistle continued, and in the first quarter, the two teams just defended three seconds of free throws, adding up to 13.

Divac, O'Neal Jr., Webb, Odom, and the rotation of Scott Pollard, Jeron Collins, Sean Lukes, Lafonso Ellis, Turkoglou and others quickly deepened their understanding of the new rules.

It's just that the outside players are suffering, and the whistle comes when they run, and when they don't come, they are worried that the whistle will suddenly sound.

Fortunately for the Kings, their core lineup is still the same 8 men, White Chocolate, Doug Critis, Bobby Jackson, Peja, Turkoglou, Webb, Divac, Scott Pollard.

Their pre-season training is just looking for the feeling of the game.

The Clippers, whose main lineup has changed a lot, has practiced a lot in actual running training.

Fortunately, there is Spider-Man, the god of basketball, and the captain who came off the bench to supervise, although it feels tormented, but the Clippers players are patient to run.

In this regard, Gentry expressed satisfaction, in fact, he did not need this game to see the players play tactics smoothly, the players only need to use their bodies to remember the running line.

There was no suspense in the outcome of the game, and the Kings, who played 30 minutes each of the eight main players in the preseason, beat the Clippers 114-91 to win.

Li Ao, who played the most minutes on the Clippers' side, only played 33 minutes.

Jordan is the player with the most exclusive tactics on the Clippers, and Li Ao is the player who appears the most times in each tactic, to be precise, all the tactics of the Clippers have his role in them.

After the game, Li Ao saw that the two teams had a total of 31 defensive three-second violations, and the two teams combined for 49 free throws, and he felt a toothache.

But after returning to the hotel and watching the news on the Internet, he felt a lot more comfortable.

It's the same for everyone!

In today's 7 preseason games, there are at least a dozen free throws given to opponents by a strong team for defending for three seconds, and the next-door neighbor who is fighting at home has a player who gives 11 free throws to the opponent alone, and the media analyzes that it is protesting the new rules to the league.

On the contrary, some weak teams, the whistle eats very little.

In particular, the two team leaders of the Bulls and Warriors, the former only defended three seconds five times, and the latter only three times, and both teams beat their opponents by a big margin.

Li Ao feels that these two teams have the best chance of winning all in the preseason.

You can't find a team that cares less about the new rules than these two teams.

But there is also a team in the belly that surprises him - the Grizzlies.

Of the teams predicted by the media to be the top pick, only the Grizzlies have defended more than 10 three-second fouls and 24.

It can be seen how uncomfortable Gasol, a center forward who has played in Europe since childhood, is not comfortable with the rule of 'three seconds of defense'.

Li Ao feels that this year's insiders are really difficult!

In the future, when the interior enters the NBA, even in high school, college, and other leagues, there is no defense for three seconds, and when you get to the NBA, you also need to adapt to the new defensive method, but at least there are defensive videos of your predecessors for reference.

This year's insiders are in the dark, and there is no precedent for reference, so they can only adapt with their heads down.

When Li Ao read the tactical manual before, he saw that the coaching staff had made preparations, and several interior lines in the team were also actively adjusting their defenses for the new rules, so he thought it was not a big problem.

As a result, in the first game, even he, the outside liner, ate 1 defense for three seconds after changing defenses, and even he felt that his eyes were dark......

After the egg pain time was over, he began to try to recall the defensive style of the future excellent interior defenders, think about the characteristics of several interior teammates, and write them down in a small notebook to see if he could provide a little help to his teammates.

As a result, this writing, more and more, writing and writing, insomnia......

…

The next morning, the Clippers left Sacramento and flew to Oakland.

After the plane took off smoothly, Gentry was ready to catch up on sleep, and last night he worked overtime until 3 o'clock in the meeting.

At this time, Li Ao came to his side, and also yawned and handed him a small notebook.

"What is this?"

"I had insomnia last night, and by the way, I thought about the game, which might help us get used to the defense for three seconds."

Li Ao answered, and went back to his seat and put on an eye patch to catch up on sleep, and Gentry had to give up if he wanted to ask.

He opened the small notebook and looked at it, at first glance, what is it?

It's a mess, in the previous paragraph, what to pay attention to when writing about O'Neill's interior movement, what kind of movement can be bold, and the next paragraph mentions flanking attacks.

In the next paragraph, what is this, the point guard's baseline shrinking? Continuing to the next section, the defense in the middle is cut off...... What is it.

Oh, no!

Gentry looked back, and the 4th end and the 1st segment were connected!

These two paragraphs are combined, and they are also connected to the second paragraph, how can the center move to avoid defending for three seconds when the flank strikes, the center cutting the pass in the middle, and the missed role player cutting in......

In the back, the more Gentry looked, the more pleasantly surprised!

Doug Collins on the side saw that Gentry was suddenly not sleepy, and was flipping through a small notebook and looking at Liu Bei in public?

Curious, he moved over to the manager and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Gentry was concentrating, and he didn't notice someone next to him, and was startled.

After recovering from his recovery, he handed the little book to Doug Collins: "Leo had insomnia last night, and he casually thought about how to help his interior teammates adapt to the new rules. ”

Doug Collins was curious, although it was regrettable that it was not Liu Bei, but he immediately opened the small book to read.

At first, his reaction was the same as Gentry's, messy, what the hell?

But after reading a few more paragraphs, call me God!
