Including King Sacramento.

The gap between the east and west has further widened. Judging from the team's lineup, the Warriors are in the second tier, Kings, Thunder, Lakers, and Spurs.

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

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

With a one-year minimum salary, veteran Taishaun Prince was signed to make up for the forward line. This is also a Kentucky graduate. Maybe he can curb Li Liang's guy as a senior.

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

Just like the whole league in the past, hoarding forwards at the third and fourth positions has become a basic need.

The forward players who play in the league have to thank Li Liang for allowing them to eat more NBA meals for years.

The competition location was arranged at the SAP Center in San Jose.

There are really many stadiums in California. The preseason is both a warm-up match and a promotion match.

It needs promotion overseas, and it also needs promotion in the United States.

After all, new fans always grow up one by one.

Because it is a match between the Warriors and the Kings, both sides are full of stars, so they attract a lot of fans.

The star-making and god-making movement that started with David Stern has been considered successful so far.

The stars have become the NBA's appearance, and the most attractive thing to the fans is not the basketball itself, but the people who play.

Like football fans, they usually go to a certain club, and some follow the stars to change their squads everywhere.

Basketball fans and NBA fans usually follow the stars and a few are club irons.

This situation originally mainly occurred in China. After all, Chinese fans do not have local consciousness. It is better to like the team in their hometown than to like it.

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

Many local fans with teams are not interested in local teams.

In the past, live TV broadcasts were just starting out and there was no internet, fans who like basketball generally had to go to the local arena to watch the game.

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

And earlier, the first thing that NBA teams are interested in is not your strength, but your origin.

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

Because this can attract local fans to the stadium to watch the football team, the team will have income.

The league even introduced terms for local priority drafts.

Later, live TV broadcasts became more and more developed, and later the Internet was introduced, and the situation was different.

Fans don’t have to go to the scene, they can see the stars’ performances on TV and the Internet.

With the alliance's star-making movement, we naturally look at whichever we like.

For example, the little fans in Denver like Jordan. He will not go to the stadium to watch a game when Jordan's Bulls come to Denver to play away.

This situation becomes more and more serious over time.

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

Fans are gradually beginning to see 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 even more serious.

This 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 court of the Warriors.

But at the game scene tonight, you can see that purple is just one after another, all of which are little fans wearing the Kings No. 28 jersey.

Li Liang's Olympics can be said to have attracted countless fans in the United States.

The reason was that Li Liang did not expect.

On the one hand, he led China to the finals, which is the favorite image of a lone hero in American pop culture, giving Li Liang a more resume to his superhero character.

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

In fact, the Argentinian Ginobili, who once defeated the United States in the World Series and the Lithuanian Jaskovihus, were ignored by the Americans.

After all, the Romans would write hymns for alien heroes who were conquered by themselves, but when Rome really perished, no one would write choruses.

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

The media's publicity and stimulation focus 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 the bow.

No matter whether the iceberg or vortex is ahead, they can only drive forward one way.
