Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

On the second day of the opening of the training camp, the Kings' first game of the new season arrived.

And the first opponent was none other than his old opponent in California, Li Liang's first love club, the Los Angeles Lakers.

The biggest gain for the Lakers in this summer's free market is Dwyane Wade.

Yes, after losing Bryant last season, the Lakers gained huge cap space.

But Li Liang was unwilling to come, and he hadn't contacted the Lakers management for a long time. Durant stayed in the Thunder, and James went to the Warriors.

Therefore, the Lakers turned their attention to Wade, who did not renew his contract with his old club.

As a meritorious player for the Heat, Riley is really hard-hearted.

Wade won the first championship in history for the Heat. The FMVP of the Finals contributed a lot, and he accompanied the team through the trough during his peak period, but he didn't even get a maximum salary contract.

Wade has indeed been greatly affected by injuries in the past two years, and he will never be able to become the Flash like he was back then.

But his experience, skills, and big heart make him still one of the best shooting guards in the league.

For this reason, the Lakers signed a 4-year 112 million contract to bring The Flash to Hollywood.

The Lakers are like this. Their signing may not be the most cost-effective, but it will definitely be the most shining!

What a place here, Hollywood, the center of the world stage.

Any signing or transaction that lacks hot spots and bright spots will be considered a failure.

Failure on the field feels like failure.

The arrival of Wade obviously made the people of Los Angeles very satisfied.

However, many Los Angeles fans still miss Li Liang, questioning Li Liang's tweet many years ago, saying that he will come back?

Nobody said when they would be back.

This preseason matchup has attracted a lot of attention.

However, the game process, as always, was nothing to watch.

As the head coach of the team, Li Liang has a great advantage, that is, he can arrange the team's lineup by himself.

Therefore, Li Liang was very decisive and put himself on the injured list.

This startled Kings fans and Chinese fans.

Why was he on the injured list in the first game? Didn't even fight a game!

Look at the injury content: groin strain.

It feels quite serious. This injury cannot be cured.

As a result, in the first preseason game against the Lakers, the Kings lost to the Los Angeles 101:115.

Li Liang's first command as the head coach ended in failure.

To be honest, sitting on the sidelines and wearing a suit really sucks.

The main reason is that when you see players making all kinds of mistakes on the field, you can't rush to the field and yell in his ear.

Instead, he could only be incompetent and furious on the sidelines. When the timeout was called, the fire in his heart had almost dissipated.

If you make a mistake, you must point it out as soon as possible. For players, the memory is the deepest.

Of course, Li Liang was determined to be a Confucian handsome, so he still had to restrain his urge to curse.

After losing to the Lakers in the first game, Li Liang came out of the injured list in the second game.

His groin is healed again and he's fine.

Two days later, the Kings ushered in their second preseason opponent, the Golden State Warriors.

After the Warriors introduced LeBron James in the summer, their strength has swelled to a new level.

Although the media's attention was focused on the king and Li Liang becoming the head coach of the king throughout August, many people know that the strength of the Warriors this year has really overwhelmed all teams.

Including the Sacramento Kings.

The gap between East and West has further widened. Judging from the team's lineup, the Warriors are the only one, the Kings, Thunder, Lakers, and the Spurs are in the second.

Then all the teams in the East are in third tier.

In addition to signing James, the Warriors also added Pachulia to make up for Bogut's departure.

He signed veteran Tyshawn Prince with a one-year minimum salary to decorate the front line. This is also a Kentucky graduate, and he may be able to contain Li Liang as a senior.

In order to deal with Li Liang, the Warriors also signed Josh Smith, who ended his contract with the Lakers.

Just like how the entire league dealt with O'Neal back then, hoarding strikers in the third and fourth positions has become a basic need.

The strikers who play in the league must thank Li Liang for allowing them to eat in the NBA for a few more years.

The venue for the game was arranged at the SAP Center in San Jose.

There are so many arenas in the California area. The preseason game is not only a warm-up match, but also a promotion match.

It needs to be promoted overseas, and it also needs to be promoted in the United States.

After all, new fans always grow up one after another.

Because it is a game between the Warriors and the Kings, both sides are star-studded, so they attract a lot of fans.

The star-making and god-making movement that started with David Stern can be regarded as a success so far.

Stars have become the face of the NBA. What attracts fans most is not the basketball itself, but the players.

Like football fans, they usually belong to a certain club, and some follow the stars to change clubs everywhere.

And basketball fans, NBA fans, generally wander around with the stars, and a few are hardcore clubs.

This kind of situation mainly appeared in China. After all, Chinese fans do not have local awareness.

Now, this situation is beginning to spread in the United States.

Many small fans who have local teams are not interested in local teams.

In the past, live TV broadcasting was just starting. When there was no internet, fans who liked basketball generally could only go to the local stadium to watch the game.

For example, fans in Philadelphia will definitely go to the Spectrum Center to support the 76ers.

And earlier, the NBA team's first choice in drafting players was not your strength, but your origin.

If you are a local and have a good local base, the team will choose you.

Because this can attract local fans to the arena to watch the game, the team has income.

The league even introduced a local priority draft clause.

Later, live TV became more and more developed, and then the Internet became available, and the situation was different.

Fans don't have to go to the scene, they can watch the performances of the stars on TV and the Internet.

Coupled with the alliance's star-making campaign, it is natural to see which one you like.

For example, the small fans in Denver just like Jordan, and he will go to the arena to watch a game when Jordan's Bulls come to Denver for an away game.

This situation becomes more and more serious as time goes by.

The older generation of traditional fans is decreasing little by little, while the new generation of fans is gradually increasing.

Fans gradually began to have a phenomenon: recognize people but not the ball, recognize people but not the team.

After Li Liang, James and others broke the shackles of "loyalty", this manifestation became more serious.

The game was played in San Jose, which was originally part of the urban area of ​​the San Francisco Greater Bay Area, so it can be regarded as the home of the Warriors.

But tonight's game scene can be seen, the purple is almost connected, and they are all little fans wearing the Kings' No. 28 jersey.

Li Liang's Olympic Games can be said to have made him countless fans in the United States.

The reason was something Li Liang didn't expect.

On the one hand, he led China to the finals. This is the favorite image of a lone hero in American pop culture, giving Li Liang another resume as a superhero.

On the other hand, Li Liang lost to the US team in the final, which did not hurt the pride of the American fans, but also gave Li Liang a tragic heroic color - although he smiled happily.

In fact, Argentine Manu Ginobili and Lithuanian Jaskovicius, who actually defeated the United States in the World Series, were ignored by the Americans.

After all, the Romans would write hymns to the foreign heroes they conquered, but when Rome really fell, no one wrote songs.

At the scene, all the new fans were thinking about was the confrontation between the stars.

The focus of the media's publicity campaign is also on this.

There is no way, the inertia formed over the past few decades has turned the NBA's public opinion situation into a giant ship that cannot turn its bow.

Regardless of whether the front is an iceberg or a whirlpool, there is only one way to go forward.

At least, this year's NBA looks very prosperous.
