Chapter 617 NBA China Game

China has a vast land and rich resources, maybe there really is the kind of herbal medicine that the black bear said.But where do you find this herb?Found it, do you know if there are any side effects after taking it?If your body could be transformed into a diamond body, but you would lose your X ability forever, would you want it?
Xie Kai felt that he would not want it anyway, the price was too high...

The Grizzlies' training camp ended soon, and the black bear still lost some fat. He was a little too fat before, so it was easy to lose weight, but he kept shouting hungry.There is no way around this. If you want to lose weight, you can no longer ignore your mouth.

According to the schedule, the Grizzlies will go to China on October 10 and October 8 to play a preseason game in BJ and Shanghai respectively, against the Dallas Mavericks.

The NBA China Game has been held for several years. The NBA naturally takes a fancy to the big cake in China. It wants to use this kind of preseason game that has no meaning of victory or defeat to let Chinese fans feel the charm of NBA games, so as to promote the NBA. The cake grows bigger.

NBA President David Stern is the pioneer of the NBA to promote China. As early as 1989, when he went to China for the first time, he wanted to negotiate with CCTV to broadcast NBA games.

After waiting in the cold wind for more than an hour, David Stern patiently explained to CCTV leaders what the NBA is, and there is no charge for broadcasting, etc., until CCTV agreed to broadcast.

Since then, NBA officials have sent a set of game highlights to BJ for free every week. David Stern also paid for CCTV's broadcast team to broadcast the All-Star Game and the finals live.

Now everyone in China knows about the NBA. The NBA China Game was first held in 2004. The opponents were the Houston Rockets with Yao Ming, and the Sacramento Kings, who Liu Wei was trying out.

As early as when Xie Kai was still in the Kings, the NBA had already contacted the Chinese Basketball Association, wanting the Kings to play in the preseason.But for many reasons, it never took place.And after he arrived at the Grizzlies, there have been rumors that the league is arranging for the Grizzlies to play preseason games in China, but it has never happened.

It happened this time, but Xie Kai was a little surprised.

The Mavericks were the NBA champions in the 2010-11 season, while the Grizzlies were the NBA champions in the 2012-13 season. Letting these two teams play in the China game is quite compelling.Not to mention thank you for opening the sign.

The Grizzlies took a plane and came to BJ.

When everyone got off the plane, they found that a large number of fans came to pick them up.Of course, 99.99% of the players here are here for Xie Kai.

Seeing Xie Kai's popularity and the number of fans in China, his Grizzlies teammates can only envy.

Thanks to Xie Kai, other Grizzlies players were also welcomed by Chinese fans.Even for a drinking fountain like Joan Ruel, fans asked him to sign, which made him flattered.It is estimated that he never thought in his life that he still has fans in this ancient oriental country on the other side of the ocean!

When he came to China, Xie Kai was naturally the host. He invited everyone to eat the BJ Roast Duck in Quanjude, and visited the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.The players of the Grizzlies used to think that China was a country with a particularly large population and was very backward. When they came to BJ, they found that it was not backward. It was obviously developing very well!

Tickets for the game on the 8th have already been sold out, and the game in Shanghai on the 10th is also sold out.Xie Kai's popularity is too high. With Yao Ming retiring, he is almost the only motivation and reason for many Chinese fans to watch the NBA.

There was no enthusiasm in the preseason games, and the other team, the Mavericks, also played some All-Star basketball very cooperatively, allowing Xie Kai to perform well.

Xie Kai knew that most of the people who came to watch the game came for him, so after training the lineup in the first half, he started his personal offensive performance in the second half.He scored in various ways, and the fans on the scene saw the climax!
The result of the game was that the Grizzlies won, but the Mavericks didn't feel the slightest frustration about losing.Everyone understands that the outcome of the preseason is even less important than the All-Star Game.Run the lineup, entertain the fans, as long as no players are injured.

Xie Kai scored 35 points in this game, but he is not tired at all, not tired at all.The fans enjoyed it, so he was naturally willing to play more.And the opponents and teammates also cooperated extraordinarily today, and everyone played tacitly.

In the game on the 10th, the Grizzlies lost to the Mavericks, which was reciprocated.Xie Kai still played very well and also gave back to the fans in Shanghai.

After two preseason games, the Grizzlies played on the Bund in Shanghai and returned to the United States on the second day.The preseason schedule is very tight, and they will play a preseason game against the Bucks on the 2th!

The intensity of the preseason is low, and Xie Kai will not spend so much time in each game in the following games.In order to restore his form, the black bear became the player who played the longest in the starting lineup.

On October 10, the Grizzlies ended their last preseason game against the Rockets, and also ended all their preseason games this season.

In 8 preseason games, they scored 4 wins and 4 losses, which is quite satisfactory.

The opening game of this season will be held on October 10. The opponent of the Grizzlies is the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals last season.Naturally, the alliance has his intentions in such an arrangement. This game does not need to be mobilized, but it can make people want to watch it.

The Grizzlies spent the last few days before the regular season adjusting, shrinking the roster and preparing for the season opener.

On October 10, the Grizzlies played against the Spurs at home, which attracted a lot of attention.This game will be the awarding ceremony of the championship ring, so the tickets have already been sold out.Since winning the championship last season, the season ticket sales of the Grizzlies this season have been very good and have reached a record high.

The popularity of the ball market has also driven the sales of peripheral products.Xie Kai's No. 22 jersey is the best-selling of all the players in the Grizzlies. Even if the sales of all other jerseys on the team are combined, it is less than 1/3 of his.

Xie Kai has become a cash cow for the Grizzlies. His presence has brought the team's exposure to an unprecedented level, which was unimaginable before.

The team arranged a special program and invited Avril Lavigne to sing, just to make the ring awarding ceremony more memorable.This is the first championship in the history of the Grizzlies, and this significance is indeed extraordinary.

The Spurs can be regarded as the team that challenged the Grizzlies the most in the playoffs (including the finals) last season. If GDP can be a few years younger, the result of the game may be rewritten.

The FedEx Arena was extremely lively today. After the fans entered the arena, they found that the arena had been carefully arranged, making it even more festive.Everyone knows what kind of ceremony will happen later, and everyone is looking forward to witnessing it with their own eyes.
