City: I Create The Nba!

Chapter 7 Naming The Staples Arena, The First Nba Preseason Game!

October 2, 19 o'clock in the evening.

Downtown Los Angeles, outside Staples Arena.

Two young men who were nearly 2 meters tall looked at this magnificent arena building and felt a little uneasy.

One of them asked, "Hansen, do you think it's reliable to grab two Lakers volleyball tickets for free on the ticket grabbing website?"

Hansen looked down at the tickets, and said uncertainly: "Quick, these two tickets should be real...

I read on the nba official website that all teams' preseason games this year are free to watch, as long as you grab tickets on each team's official website. "

After finishing speaking, Hansen said as he walked: "Go in and try it, don't you know? If the ticket is fake, we will go home!"

Quick nodded and followed Hansen in to check the ticket.

Fortunately, the two easily passed the ticket gate and entered the stadium.

Just entering, Quick and Hansen were stunned by the building inside.

I saw that the arena was divided into hundreds of areas, and each area was densely packed with spectators, a sea of ​​people.

All the seats and luxury boxes they saw were brand new and full of technology.

Looking up, there is a six-sided large LCD TV screen hanging on the top of the court.

On the court, many players are warming up and doing shooting training.

Hansen and Quick looked at each other, and quickly entered the arena according to the seat number on the ticket.

At this moment, countless fans in the arena are discussing.

"Today is the preseason game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings. I wonder how exciting it is?"

"Don't care if it's exciting or not, just watching the ball in such a luxurious Staples Arena is already a worthwhile trip!"

"That's true. I'm tired of watching the three-person basketball game in the ABA League. Fortunately, there is now the NBA!"

"Don't be too happy too early, what if the NBA basketball game is not good?"

"Watching the game for free, you are still talking about it, what a disappointment!"

"By the way, which team do you support for tonight's game?"

"Nonsense! Of course it's our home team, the Los Angeles Lakers. Why don't you support teams from other cities?"

...

As time goes by, the audience on the scene is getting more and more.

The Staples Arena, which can accommodate nearly 19,000 fans, was packed.

They came to the scene today to watch the game for different reasons.

Some people are pure basketball fans and want to see what the nba futsal game really is.

Some people came to watch the game for entertainment. Anyway, it was free to watch the football, so it was not for nothing.

Some people came here for the name of the NBA, and wanted to see what the charm of the NBA professional basketball league, which has recently become famous in the sports circle, is able to attract so many advertising sponsors.

There are also some people who are high-level executives of the ABA Alliance and want to observe the strength of their competitors.

...

In a luxurious box in the arena.

Inside sat Jiang Han, president of the NBA, and Ron Segent, president of the Staples Corporation.

They appeared here mainly because the Lakers and Staples had just completed a naming cooperation for the arena a few days ago.

Staples spent $166 million to acquire the naming rights to the arena for 10 years.

This also made the home arena of the Lakers and Clippers renamed the Staples Center!

Staples Corporation is one of the world's largest office supplies companies, and its fortune ranks among the world's top 500 companies. It is a global giant.

This naming fee is nothing to them.

At this time, Jiang Han said: "Mr. Segent, the game is about to start, I believe you will not be disappointed."

Ron Segent nodded with a smile: "I am a basketball fan, and I hope the NBA games will be more exciting."

Talking and laughing.

In the resplendent arena, the Lakers home dj weakly shouted the visiting team's starting roster.

Immediately afterwards, the scene suddenly went dark.

Just when everyone was puzzled, a brilliant light show kicked off.

The Lakers' home DJ suddenly became hysterical, shouting the names of the home team's starting five in an unprecedented tone.

"Elgin Baylor..."

"Dick Barnett..."

"Rudy LaRusso..."

"Frank Selvie..."

"Jerry West..."

The audience at the scene, following the voice of the dj, cheered hard for the players of the home team.

Although they didn't know who these players were before today.

But it doesn't matter!

All these players wearing golden Los Angeles Lakers jerseys represent Los Angeles, the "City of Angels!"

that's enough!

...

Inside the box.

When Jiang Han saw these familiar and unfamiliar players on the field, he was deeply moved.

Familiarity is because he has heard of Jerry West and Elgin Baylor of the Lakers in magazines and news in his previous life.

Strange because he has never seen players of that era play.

Not to mention watching it live, you won’t be able to find the NBA game videos from the 1960s!

But with the help of the system, Jiang Han is undoubtedly lucky to be able to see these "legends" play with his own eyes.

In addition, the Sacramento Kings are competing with the Lakers tonight, and the head star is "Big O" Oscar Robertson.

In fact, in the 1960s, there was no Sacramento Kings, only the predecessor of the Kings, the Cincinnati Royals.

The Cincinnati Royals have already disappeared into the dust of history.

For another example, in the previous ESPN special NBA program, Wilt Chamberlain was a player of the Golden State Warriors.

In fact, he should belong to the Philadelphia Warriors, the predecessor of the Golden State Warriors.

Of course, the players are still the same players, just the name of the team has changed.

...

After the appearance ceremony.

The game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings begins immediately.

At the same time, the major TV network broadcasters that have reached cooperation with the nba are broadcasting the game simultaneously for the convenience of fans to watch.

With the whistle of the referee, the first NBA game in this world officially kicked off...
