Chapter 129: The first battle of the new season! Space Yi, take off!(1/3)
After a long gap period after the Summer League, the NBA finally ushered in the 2010 preseason. There were eight games in total, not counting players' career data. They were not only for the team to practice, but also for showing off their swords.
One summer has passed, the team has changed, the arena has been renovated, and everything will have a new look to welcome the fans.
Basically all teams' lineups will change, and for a team like the Knicks that has changed all day long, the expectations are even greater.
But it was only the first show, and the tickets booked for the second home game were directly reduced by half.
Although the preseason results are not included in the league database, no team wants to start the regular season after eight consecutive losses. The mentality, psychological advantages, and playing style must be established in the preseason.
Of course, the biggest reason why the league is kind enough to set up preseason games is because there are too many (lazy) civil servants in the NBA. There are too many players who just treat playing as a job and only train and play during work. There are also awesome players who use games as substitutes for training.
.
Summer is the time for fishing, drinking and piling. What a waste of training.
Those who are a little more self-disciplined will be rewarded as "hard training". There is no way, here are all talented monsters, and those with talent can do whatever they want.
The role of the preseason is to allow them to quickly get back into shape and then give the fans a better performance when the regular season begins.
certainly.
At this time, the New York Knicks, which has the largest fan market, is naturally the focus of fans' attention. They all come to see Boss Jiang get slapped in the face. Oh no, let's see who among these newbies can take over the position of the King of New York.
From Ewing to Alan Houston to Marbury to now, who can lead the Knicks to the playoffs again?
"The first home game is against the neighboring Nets. Okay, I'll go and watch it."
"Boss, you..."
Liu Yan saw the threats to Liu Yan in the forum, and pursed her lips with some worry.
Jiang Chao touched her lips lovingly and rubbed her fragrant hair:
"Those are just talkers. They have to go through security when entering the stadium. Don't worry."
Indeed, ever since Jiang Chao started his side business, the vicious comments against him on the Internet have doubled. Since ancient times, everyone has been sleazy. They would rather see Jiang Chao in poverty in the casino than see him truly.
Do business.
I'm afraid that the nouveau riche can still work hard to make money, and the only sense of superiority is gone.
So all kinds of Fake Ginger are here again.
Jiang Chao is quite looking forward to the whole audience shouting "Fake Jiang", he has become famous within half a year after taking office.
Jiang Chao did not enter through the main entrance, but directly put on a black belted windbreaker and came to the scene from the players' tunnel to inspect the work.
As soon as I arrived at the arena, I saw my old friends Nets general manager Vandeweghe and vice president Elle sitting behind the Nets bench. I had met several of them in the draft, and had also faced off in the Yi trade. Now one
They both took money and gave each other a friendly greeting on the surface.
When Jiang Chao walked up, the fans who had entered the arena naturally gathered around him.
They are really awesome. They are so powerful online and super brother offline. Every one of them, Boss Jiang, is shouting very enthusiastically, and everyone wants to sign.
The most irritating thing is that a young European fan with yellow hair yelled at the aerial camera when Jiang Chao passed by:
"Boss, love the law."
When he turned around and saw Jiang Chao, he said flatteringly:
"Oh, boss, i-love-you! Can you give me a pair of sneakers?"
Jiang Chao's handsome face looked down at him coldly:
"Say what you just said to my face."
"Jiang... Aimu has...brother!! I was wrong, Brother Chao!"
"Cowardly."
Jiang Chao walked away and motioned to the staff to give him a bucket of popcorn, the kind that would be poured over his head.
After Jiang Chao passed by, their friends came over one after another and said:
"Wow, why don't you scold him! Aren't you giving him the middle finger all the time behind his back?"
"Yes, this boss still has the nerve to come to the scene."
"He has traded all the players on the team, but he still dares to come to watch the game. Aren't he afraid of being scolded to death?"
"Then why didn't you scold me just now?"
"I thought you would scold!"
"Damn it, I thought you would scold him. Didn't you scold him for being a thief when he traded Xiaotuo?"
"So, what does the autograph book in your hand mean? Now you are licking your face to ask for his signature?"
"Ahem... Let me tell you the truth, he is really handsome!"
"Boss, wait, don't leave!!!fxxk-you!"
Then as soon as he raised his middle finger, he was showered with popcorn by the staff:
"A gift from your boss."
…
Jiang Chao has long known the psychology of trolls. Trolls want the people they want to troll to break their defenses and do stupid things.
It just feels good on the lips, and if they really confront each other, they won't be able to let it out.
As long as he has enough mental endurance and is sure that he is going in the right direction, then they are just the ultimate manifestation of acidity.
Everything he does as the Knicks' arrowhead is for the team. In order to make big money, he must let people all over the world know about his brand.
If you want to spray, please spray it on Chaoshen (Hupu) forum!
The more people trolling him, it means that he actually has the same number of fans.
With his operations again and again, his boss has more and more fans, and everyone knows that fans who are not obtained through personality marketing are die-hard fans.
People like Daddario and Scarlett really liked Jiang Chao's bold actions this time. Daddario just entered the stadium and saw Jiang Chao looking for him frantically when he appeared on the big screen.
When she came to her seat, she was holding the season ticket that Scarlett lent her.
Because Daddario is a fan of hers and Scarlett is not in New York recently, she was asked to show her face in the front row.
Since this little movie fan with a very good figure also wants to pursue a career in film and television, he must show his face in the front row of the Garden Arena.
box.
The private rooms are in a row under the surrounding LED light strips. The high-end mirrors reflect the sense of luxury. There are large and small rooms. There are toilets and shower rooms, and there are even ones where you can play billiards...
The empty box Jiang Chao went to looked like the guest room lobby of a five-star hotel. It had snacks and a special large-screen TV. You could also sit in front of the glass and watch the scene. This kind of glass prevents people from outside from seeing what's going on inside.
Yes, privacy is very good.
Liu Yan put on an Anta sportswear and came over to make a cup of Longjing for Jiang Chao. The Knicks' senior management took a collective vacation today just to cheer for the first preseason show.
As the players came to the scene to warm up, there were more and more fans in the arena, and the seats were occupied like ants.
"There are so many people at the beginning of the preseason, and there shouldn't be more in the regular season."
"Yes, even though you are criticized a lot, the number of fans who come is not less at all. There are even more fans than at this time last year."
This is all money that will go into Jiang Chao's pocket. Jiang Chao stood in front of the glass and took a sip of tea and smiled slightly.
This is the holy land of basketball.
It's his territory!
wrong.
After working hard to make money and buy this arena, it is completely his territory, and now he still has to pay the venue fee.
Liu Yan gracefully held the cup with both hands, bowed slightly, and drank a cup herself:
"It's a shame there aren't enough Knicks fans."
"Yes, colorful."
Jiang Supernatural saw that this was not what he imagined when playing 2K or watching the playoffs, full of home color jerseys. There were not enough orange and blue jerseys, T-shirts and fans holding signs supporting the players.
It's not that Dolan didn't send out enough jerseys in the past few years, and there was always time for Cannon to give out T-shirts during the timeout of every game, but that many fans wore the jerseys of their favorite stars.
McGrady red, Zijinke, dark red James, Bai Ai, and many Green Army jerseys. There are so many Green Army fans in the East.
There are also Jazz jerseys and Magic jerseys, all here to support the Turkish duo. I heard that Turks bought 5% of the tickets for this game.
There was also an area that was all Chinese red, filled with Yi Jianlian fans and Chinese fans. The Chinese national team jerseys were still cool, and those people shouted "Come on" for a while.
Jiang Chao sighed:
"No matter what period of time, star fans are bigger than team fans. It will be great when our team also has stars."
Liu Yan also looked forward to it: "Well, our team is all new, and we can't keep many friends from the old team. It just depends on how many people turn to fans."
"After this season, New York fans should all become Curry Harden fans, so look forward to it."
"It seems like there are fewer Nets fans..."
Liu Yan looked around and saw few New Jersey Nets jerseys.
To be continued...
