Chapter 410 Interacting with the fans of the visiting team

The second game between the Pistons and the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals will be played two nights later, and during this day and more, besides training, you should find some other interesting things to do. Come, I can't go back to the Motor City empty-handed, I have to bring some fans back from Philadelphia.

But how to make Philadelphia fans like them and support them?
In the end, a valuable suggestion was reached through the negotiation, go to the street to play ball, interact with fans, and through some activities such as giving away jerseys and signing basketballs, to attract some 76ers black fans, or to attract some neutral fans. , In this way, the away game will gradually become the home game in the future, and the away game will be relatively easier to play.

But right now the most important thing is the game, and training has become a crucial pre-match exercise. Therefore, they can focus on training now and put fan interaction in a secondary position.

In the end, the coach and the players negotiated and unanimously agreed to put the fan interaction activities on the second night of the first game, which is the night before the second game.

Although the first game was won by double digits, the coach and the players were still very diligent and hardworking. Early the next morning, the coach took the players to practice and study tactics.Because they only won one game, and they have to win three more games to advance, and in the next game, unexpected things are unpredictable, and they must take countermeasures and preparations. Therefore, the training before each game is particularly important. important.

Coach Brown brought the players to the 76ers training hall. He originally thought that they should be better than the 76ers. Unexpectedly, when they appeared in the training hall, the 76ers had been training for a long time. They were covered in sweat. When the team members saw them coming, they smiled friendly and gave half of the field to them.

With the stadium, they said thank you with a smile without saying a word, and each player started to practice with the ball.

The two competitors appeared in the training hall at the same time, which was unexpected by the coaches and players of both sides. However, the current training has achieved unexpected results. Still don't rest, keep training.

The defeat in the first game was a big blow to the 76ers. At the same time, it also inspired them a lot. They watched the live broadcast of the press conference, and they had to avoid being swept as much as possible. They had to work hard. The Pistons had enough strength to sweep them. That was not their arrogance or bragging.

The 76ers don't rest and insist on training. The Pistons admire it very much. It's just that Coach Brown and the players have a new understanding of training. It's just that this kind of training consumes a lot of physical strength and limbs of the players. If you don't pay attention, it may directly affect the subsequent games.

It's just that the 76ers, as competitors, sometimes remind them in good faith, but the opponents feel that they are envious and jealous.

Therefore, how they train has nothing to do with them. They only care about how they train and how it is good for their long-term development.

In order to cope with the upcoming game, both sides fought hard. On the second day after the first game, from the morning training to 20:[-] pm, there was only a delay of more than [-] minutes to eat a fast food, and then practiced all kinds of two-point shooting desperately. , Three-point shooting, breakthrough layup, every shot, there is a player to interfere, playing the form of a defender.

Everyone thought in advance that today's training should be particularly difficult, but what they didn't expect was that the time passed so quickly that it passed in the blink of an eye.

At about 76 o'clock in the evening, Lianlian organized all the Pistons players to near the center of the [-]ers Arena. There was a relatively large flow of people, and there were many fans playing on the outdoor basketball court to interact with each other every night.

When they appeared on the outdoor basketball court in the center of the arena wearing shorts and vests, all the players smiled and looked at each other, and one screamed in joy and surprise: "Wow... Coach Pistons and the Pistons are here! It's not enough to abuse the home team, but you want to abuse us again? It's a bit too much!"

When such voices sounded in the ears of the coaches and players, the coaches and most of the fans remained silent, not knowing how to answer the words of all the players, they just turned their eyes to Neal.

Now that other people have pinned all their hopes on him, there is no need to shirk it, just express their intention of coming here clearly, isn't it all right?
Neil stood up from the queue and looked at all the playing brothers: "Brothers, you may have misunderstood us. We are here because we really want to play with you, kill time, and send fans who like us , signed basketball and jersey, nothing malicious!"

Some fans who usually like to criticize the 76ers heard that there were signed basketballs and jerseys as gifts, and they immediately said happily one after another: "Okay...we want signed basketballs or jerseys."

But this part of the fans immediately attracted the attack of the 76ers' die-hard fans and loyal fans: "You all know to pick up small bargains, if you have a bargain, say yes, this is the home team's outdoor basketball court, and we are from Philadelphia, besides, last night You have also seen it with your own eyes, they are merciless to our home team, they are merciless, many bullies our Philadelphia hero Iverson, and now they want to play and interact with us here, think about it, they treat us like this The team let us lose and despair, can we promise them?"

Just when those fans were about to be conquered by loyal fans, Neil, like a negotiator, said in a sonorous and forceful tone: "Brothers, as a competitive sport, there must be winners and losers. The mood at this moment, why are we not as heavy as you? But there is no such thing as a tie in basketball, and we also hope that this sport will allow the two sides to draw forever, so that the two sides can be family and amiable, but there is only one Champions Cup, We were also forced by the championship. We also gave your home team a chance, but your home team didn’t grasp it. You can’t blame us. Basketball is a sport that makes people happy. You shouldn’t be unhappy because we won, and you shouldn’t We shouldn't be sad because the home team lost, winning or losing is not important, as long as we enjoy it and feel real happiness in the process of watching the game, that's enough."

"Yes, Neil is right. They have given the home team a chance. The home team didn't get it right. We can't rely on them. They brought us endless joy throughout the game. We should be grateful to them and we agree with them. Play and interact with us, you guys are so loyal to the 76ers, why don't they send you signed basketballs and signed jerseys, a show of hands for the Pistons to play with us."

After these rumors confuse the crowd, most people raised their hands and agreed that Neal and his teammates would play with them.

A few people have no choice but to conform to the mainstream, and suddenly think of basketball and jerseys, why not do it?

In this interaction with away fans, the Pistons did follow the promise. As long as the fans who have played with them, they will all send a basketball and a jersey.

In the end, due to their integrity, most of the away fans were overwhelmingly one-sided, and this fan interaction achieved a very satisfactory result.
