The Staples Center was located in downtown Los Angeles, California, next to the L.A.Live development zone. It was located next to the Los Angeles Convention Center complex on Figueroa Street.
Construction began on March 31, 1998, and it was officially opened on October 17, 1999.
The Staples Center was operated by the Los Angeles Coliseum Company and the Anschutz Entertainment Group.
More than 250 events were held here every year, with nearly 4 million visitors.
It was the only stadium in the NBA that was shared by two teams at the same time. It was also the only stadium in North America that had two NBA, one NBA, and one WNBA team as its home stadium.
The floor of the arena had been replaced with the Clippers 'logo.
Compared to the sea of people when the Laker played, it was much quieter now.
The venue's attendance rate was only about 60%.
The current Warriors were still weak and weak, and the fans lacked interest in this game.
The Los Angeles fans were not interested, but on the other side of the ocean, Zhao Hang's girlfriend and many classmates were watching the game on the Internet.
Yaya had already messaged Zhao Hang. Although Zhao Hang looked confident on the surface, she could feel his nervousness.
Ya Ya was also constantly encouraging Zhao Hang.
"Good luck. If you get the contract, I'll go over and accompany you. I'll cook for you every day.”
"Haha, this will happen sooner or later. Little girl, you can't escape from my palm.”
"…Play your ball well. You're starting to be so frivolous again. Remember, you can't look at the cheerleaders.。”
"I know, only to you."
The two of them did not feel their feelings fade because of the distance. Instead, they missed each other even more.
………..
After warming up, he returned to the locker room.
The head coach explained the tactics to Zhao Hang alone.
Zhao Hang had Paul's passing ability and vision, and Degro was surprised by Zhao Hang's ability to pass.
Zhao Hang understood the tactics in seconds and could even give his own opinions.
"Is this guy really playing in the NBA for the first time?”
Although Degro had his doubts, he also classified this as Zhao Hang's talent.
………..
After coming out of the locker room, Zhao Hang stood at the entrance of the passage and prepared for the entrance ceremony.
Zhao Hang was the second to last to appear.
As the rhythm of the music continued to rise.
The Clippers players ran out one by one.
Soon, it was Zhao Hang's turn.
The DJ started to shout crazily.
" Let us welcome our new aid, Zhao…Hang!"
Zhao Hang opened his arms when he heard the DJ's shout.
He jogged all the way and followed the fans around the tunnel to high-five.
The lights flickered.
A huge halo enveloped Zhao Hang.
Soon, Zhao Hang opened his arms and high-fived each of his teammates.
Gordon, Bledsoe, Carmen, Gomez…
"Newbie, play well and don't be nervous.”
Gordon even hugged Zhao Hang.
He still chose to encourage the newcomer, Zhao Hang.
"If you don't know how to deal with the ball, give it to me.”
"Yes, thank you, Eric."
Gordon's kindness still made Zhao Hang feel a little warm beside his unfamiliar teammate.
In the end, Zhao Hang patted the floor and felt the NBA floor.
Then, he stood still in his seat.
Closing his eyes, Zhao Hang could feel the clamor around him!!!
Zhao Hang covered his heart with his left hand and tried to calm it down.
Even though he was confident in his own abilities, Zhao Hang was still full of respect for the NBA.
"I'm finally here."
When the fans saw Zhao Hang's new face, they started discussing.
Most people did not know Zhao Hang's background.
It was just a little strange to see an Asian appear on the field.
"Where did this guy come from? I've never seen him before." A Clippers fan asked his friend.
"It's Zhao Hang, from Country Z. He just signed a 10-day contract.”
A Clippers loyalist replied. He followed the Clippers 'news and naturally knew about the team's signings.
"Not many Asian people know how to play basketball.”
"Yao Ming is very good, but their guards are not.”
"Yes, let's see."
"Hehe, let's see if he can pass the ball and score.”
The two fans did not have any expectations for Zhao Hang, who had been pulled in at the last minute to put out the fire.
If he really had the ability, he wouldn't have ended up with a ten-day contract.
Although he knew that Zhao Hang was a noob, it was still his home ground.
The fans still applauded and cheered.
…………….
"Buzz!"
The electronic beep also signified that the match was about to begin.
The live music was also coming to an end. The basketball court was constantly cleared of people and equipment.
Zhao Hang kept jumping around. He was fully prepared.
Zhao Hang was wearing the Clippers 'number 8 jersey.
He kept stretching his muscles around the manager.
"Zhao, on offense, pay attention to Blake's cut inside and Eric's three-point run. Don't let Stephen shoot three-points on defense.!”
"Eric, I'll leave the defense of Ellis to you.”
“。。。。”
The manager, De Grosso, emphasized to the players again and again what they should pay attention to today.
…………….
Not long after.
The starting lineup of both teams stood on the field.
Clippers: Hang Zhao, Gordon, Griffin, Jordan Jr., Arminio
Warriors: Curry, ellis, white, biedrins, David Lee
"Blake, Deandro, I'll send you an empty ball later.”
Zhao Hang had Paul's passing ability, as well as Paul's familiar teammates Griffin and Jordan.
This way, he could completely replicate the strategy of the Sky Connecting City.
“OK！”
Although Jordan and Griffin wondered if Zhao Hang had the ability to send out an empty pass, they still agreed.
Otherwise, when Zhao Hang arrived and they did not take off, it would be their problem.
Although the Clippers led by Paul in his previous life weren't a championship team, they were definitely a powerhouse in the Western Conference.
At that time, it was the combination of Paul, Griffin, and Jordan that made the Los Angeles fans start to like this rotten boat.
All kinds of dunks were completed by Paul's passing ability.
……………..
As the cameras were aimed at Zhao Hang, the fans cheered and welcomed him.
There were also many Chinese people in Los Angeles who came to support Zhao Hang, but most of them were girls. They were basically Zhao Hang's fans.。
Zhao Hang's handsomeness was also broadcasted live on CCTV and spread to all parts of the country, attracting a group of female fans.
The match soon began.
Jump ball.
Jordan vs. Biedrins.
Although Jordan wasn't famous and his skills were poor, his talent was there.
They bounced fast, jumped high, and had long arms!
Jordan easily beat Biedrins.
The first attack was controlled by Zhao Hang.
Zhao Hang took a deep breath after he caught the ball.
His hands still felt like Owen's as one player!
Soon after.
Zhao Hang began to dribble across the court.
Zhao Hang called his teammates to run.
