Originally, Lian Dao was not going to play for too long before the preseason game, but the first game was held at Wukesong Stadium. Amid the cheers of all domestic fans, Lian Dao made a preseason game apart.
Exhibitor competition.
The same is true for the second game at the Guangzhou International Sports Performing Arts Center. The cheers of fans in the two games made the Rockets and other Knicks players stunned. They knew Lian Dao's influence, but even if they were mentally prepared, they were still
The enthusiasm of the fans on the scene was frightened.
After the game, CCTV statistics show that the average number of viewers in these two games is about 50 million. If live broadcasts and broadcasts are added in other places, these two games are even higher than the NBA Finals last season, and the number of viewers around the world
Easily exceeded 80 million people.
"Sickle, are there really so many people watching us play two preseason games?" Holiday said in disbelief after seeing the number of people. You should know that this year's most classic yellow and green battles did not have any of them.
Such a high rating.
"This is normal. These two games were held at night in Chinese time. In the past, due to the time difference, our games were held in the morning in Chinese time. At that time, many people were working and class, and the ratings were hard to be as good as those in now.
It also skyrocketed. Everyone went home tonight, so these statistics should still be conservative!"
Lian Dao just finished the World Championships. He is very familiar with the situation in China. The Chinese competitions held in recent years have become more and more popular every year. Especially this year, Lian Dao is so well-known in China, and it has such ratings.
It is not surprising to lead him.
In the first two preseason games, facing the Rockets without Yao Ming and McGrady, the Knicks played very easily, and they also won two games in two games.
The third game was held in Tokyo, the capital of the rooster. Liandao was still welcomed beyond imagination in Japan. A few days before the game, he participated in the signing party held by Anta in Ginza, Tokyo, and the crazy slightest bit of Japanese fans
Not inferior to China. When Lian Dao appeared at the scene, a female fan suddenly broke through the security personnel's block and went forward to hug Lian Dao.
The crazy actions of the Japanese female fans almost made Lian Dao subconsciously give her a shoulder-to-shoulder drop, but when he saw that he was his fan, he stopped his hand in time.
However, the security staff also stepped forward in time and pulled the female fan away. Only then did Lian Dao see clearly that the female fan was holding her. She was really a loli-faced lady. After being pulled away, she was not sad at all.
She was still showing off with her best friend, while the girl next to her looked at the female fan with envy.
The girls around were actually eager to try, but this time the security staff increased their vigilance and did not let them take advantage of the loopholes.
But something happened at the event that made Lian Dao feel stunned. Several girls were so excited that they fainted.
Because there were too many fans on the scene, and Anta's sales signing meeting in Ginza was smaller than that on BJ, this made the scene very crowded, and the fainted female fans were squeezed in front of them.
Crushing away, and the island people are a little short and can easily breathe. It's summer now, the weather is very hot, and I guess I have heat stroke. So when the audio on the scene is on, the person standing in front of me is easily distracted.
It felt comfortable, and in the end, several female fans fainted due to heatstroke.
Lian Dao used to hear that some celebrities held concerts, and some fans were so excited that they fainted. Lian Dao couldn't believe it. Now, he really understands it.
In fact, this is because there are too many fans on the scene and it is too crowded, causing the breathing to be difficult. In addition, the weather is too hot and dehydrated, and then the audio is shocked. Moreover, these fans are really too excited. People in poor health are like this. It is normal to faint under the circumstances.
Domestic media also reported on this, especially domestic fans and media are the most excited. They have never heard of Chinese celebrities who come to Japan to promote their fans and make fans faint excitedly. Lian Dao is a precedent. .
Of course, this also reflects the influence of Liandao in Asia.
In the next day's game, the Knicks seemed to be in Madison Square Garden again. The scene was basically filled with island fans wearing Knicks jerseys, and most of the jersey numbers were No. 1.
It is normal for Liandao to be popular in China, but he did not expect that he would be so popular in the island country, especially among the fans in the front row of the scene, there were actually popular stars from the island country.
In this game in the island country, the opponent was the Golden State Warriors. The primary school student did not expect that Lian Dao's influence in Asia would be so terrible. He sat on the bench and looked at the island country fans wearing the Knicks No. 1 jersey in a daze. .
Last season, when he was playing against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, he didn't see so many people wearing Lian Dao's No. 1 jersey.
From the eyes of primary school student Curry, Lian Dao saw a strong envy!
The Golden State Warriors are still a mess now. Before the preseason starts, Don Nelson submitted his resignation to the team and resigned from the team's head coach. Now it is Keith Smart who replaced Don Nelson's Location.
And in March last season, Warriors boss Chris Cohan wrote an article in major media that due to the team's lack of competitiveness and advertising investment for many years, he has caused a vicious cycle of losses, so he announced that he would sell the team and disband the management. team.
Lian Dao originally thought that it would be like in history. The super business genius Lacob would choose to buy the Golden State Warriors, but judging from the news just announced by the league, the buyer was not Lacob. Stern was announcing that the Warriors changed their ownership. At that time, a name was mentioned: Jaina!
Unexpectedly, my rebirthed wings flapped inadvertently.
Lian Dao can be sure of a woman's name, but she has never heard of it in her previous life.
Moreover, Lian Dao could not find photos of the Warriors boss on the Internet, which also cast a mysterious veil on the Warriors' new boss.
After changing the boss, Lian Dao is not sure whether the future Warriors will reach their peak like in history.
Lian Dao can't confirm whether the Warriors will continue to choose to leave Curry as the core of the team building in the future.
The Knicks still played very easily in this game. Lian Dao played for about 30 minutes in this game. The Knicks are training more often. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many fans on the scene, he might have been Just go on stage and go on a formality.
However, the Warriors' new head coach Keith Smart upgraded the Warriors' offensive tactics, who completely released the team's offense and replaced defense with offense. This tactical change allowed Curry to go through this game Extremely performed.
Although his shooting rights have not been increased, his scores have been more efficient than last season, especially under Holiday's defense, his shooting has been more decisive than last season.
Sure enough, the primary school student did not surrender to the team's boss Monta Ellis, and he was still seeking change.
However, facing the Knicks who upgraded their defense again, the Warriors did not splash too much after all. At 119:103, the Knicks easily defeated the Warriors in the preseason.
In the three overseas games, the Knicks ended with a complete victory.
After returning to the United States, D'Antoni did not give Lian Dao too long to play in the next four preseason games.
In the four preseason games back to the United States, although Lian Dao did not play much, the Knicks still achieved a record of 4 wins and 0 losses.
Seven preseason games, 7 wins and 0 losses, and the record is perfect.
Especially these seven games have allowed fans to see the changes in the Knicks. The Knicks' inside strength has undergone great changes compared to the previous season.
When Sir, Lian Dao and Cousins are on the court at the same time, it is a test for any team that faces the Knicks.
Needless to say, Lian Dao can easily explode the players he faces. When Stoudemire was on the court at the same time as Cousins, he could also explode the players he faced against on the offensive end.
Although a player dare not say that he has lost his defensive end, he can still maintain a medium-to-high level.
The pick-and-roll cooperation between Lian Dao, Studmeier and Cousins made the two people eat cakes and enjoy it.
Of course, the Knicks' inside line also exposed some problems. Cousins always seems to have a lack of strings in defense, and he is particularly prone to getting on, and thus falling into a foul crisis.
Because of this, D'Antoni has lost his temper at him a lot, but this guy has developed a habit for a long time and is unlikely to change it in a short time.
However, Cousins also knows his problems and is constantly improving now. Overall, this is still a good phenomenon.
