: Five hundred and sixty-nine. The ring is released for the opening game

♂,!
The Lakers won eight straight preseason games and quickly found a way to deal with this tactic after the Warriors sacrificed their five lives. However, the Warriors, including the Warriors, did not take into heart that the tactics they were going to use against the Lakers were found to be flawed. Up.
Steve Kerr severely strained his back!
This Steve Kerr suffered a back injury when he was still a player. Later, he was not a commentator because of a back injury and then became general manager.
Originally, Steve Kerr’s current coach is doing a good job, and his injuries are also well controlled. Who knew that in this preseason, Barnes had three consecutive open three-pointers to stimulate him and shouldn’t do it. His movements, the sudden twisting of his back caused him to relapse from his back injury, and the pain was so painful that the game was not finished.
For most of the Warriors players, Steve Kerr is their god. The changes brought to the Warriors after Steve Kerr came last season are too great, directly from the sixth or seventh in the West. Second in the league, if the Lakers are not too strong, they are likely to be the team most likely to win the championship last season!
Now that Steve Kerr has fallen, the Warriors players have no ownership in an instant. The most critical head coach has fallen, and what preseason games are still playing!
The Lakers are even more stunned. What's the situation?
D'Antoni expressed sympathy for Steve Kerr's experience, but that's it. The grievances back then were not about letting go. It would be nice to be old and dead.
Then D'Antoni looked at Walton. This Steve Kerr fell. The Warriors' best coach is Walton. He is curious about what Walton will turn the Warriors into?
...
...
A strong preseason game ended in such a vague way, but it was just a preseason game, and people were more concerned about Steve Kerr's injury.
In the end, woj broke the news that Steve Kerr must be in the hospital for at least one month. After he is discharged from the hospital, he cannot stand or sit for a long time. He is not allowed to fly for at least three months, that is to say, before February, Steve Kerr can't coach anymore! Only stay in Los Angeles!
Immediately after Woj broke the news, the Warriors let Luke Wharton succeed Steve Kerr as the Warriors' interim head coach.
The Lakers are not very concerned about this, their own regular season opener is about to begin.
The Lakers' opener opponent this year is... the Timberwolves.
Yes, not the favorite team, but the Timberwolves.
Adam Silva seems to have used a veteran matchup that is difficult to reproduce as a gimmick. The matchup between Garnett and Kobe was once put on the stage and made headlines on the nba official website.
But I have to say that feelings are very effective, especially for NBA games that are not seen several times a year.
"Za Ke, if you walk on the court today, you will set a record." Liu Ren leaned in front of Kobe and said.
"Record?" Kobe thought for a while, what's the record?
More appearances than Jordan? This has been completed a long time ago, more years than Jordan played? This was done a long time ago. The score was surpassed last season. This year's goal is Karl Malone, which is more than 1,000 points away...
Kobe is full of minds that want to surpass Jordan, especially this year, he is crazy to get the seventh crown.
Seeing Kobe thinking hard, Liu Ren reluctantly said: "20 years! You have played in the same team for 20 years, and you will surpass Malone and Stockton as long as you make it today."
I don’t know if I usually don’t care about this or the response is slow. Kobe was stunned when he heard this time of 20 years...

...
A lot of fans in the Timberwolves No. 21 jerseys came to the Staples Center today. The game has not yet started. Over 5 million people in the United States have already purchased the right to watch the game, not counting those who bought NBA BesTV. Fans, the ratings have already exceeded 1% and close to 2%. This is quite rare in an NBA regular season. It is usually the Christmas game that has such ratings.
When I saw this news, Liu Ren was lamenting that feelings cannot be inferred by common sense.
For example, in Liu Ren’s original memory, the seventh game of the 2013 finals, due to the magical three-pointer of Ray Allen in the sixth game, dragged the finals into the tiebreaker. That tiebreaker attracted more than 6 million purchases. The ratings almost surpassed the ratings of the tiebreaker in the 2010 finals, and the number of people picked up in China reached 15 million.
And the last NBA live broadcast he watched in his last life was the one where Kobe retired. In the United States, the viewership of espn alone reached 5.3 million, and the total reached 9 million. In China, 38 million people live on Penguin. Watching this Kobe curtain call, more than 2 million people bought Penguin Sports members for the Blu-ray live broadcast of that game, and created 10 million U.S. dollars in revenue for the Penguin nba live broadcast.
Liu Ren still remembers that Kobe retired from the tour that year. The Lakers were so bad that year. Attendance and live broadcast ratings and live broadcast ratings were on par with the defending champion and the Warriors who broke the Bulls' 72-win record. It was almost incredible.
Just as long as the movies with Star Master and Fa Ge will sell at the box office, the most valuable thing these days is feelings.
For example, this time Garnett and Kobe may have played against each other in the most season. After all, Garnett did not play too many games last season, and this year's injury situation is not tolerable. Adam Silva is really afraid of Garnett suddenly. Retired, they have achieved fame, almost won the NBA Grand Slam, what mvp, best defensive player, championship, best team, best defensive team, all-star mvp...Any awards with trophies, Garnett Basically, he took advantage of the beginning of the season when Garnett was still completely healthy, he put the Lakers and Timberwolves together.
Now is the era of national entertainment, Adam Silva is indeed a very forward-looking president, although he is a little lacking in controlling the birth of the super team. For example, when he came to power, the Cavaliers formed the Big Three again, which did not play any role. , But he has a good set of making money, to some extent it is a benefit to the league players.
Adam Silva is stronger than David Stern in this regard. When David Stern signed a 6-year broadcast contract with major TV stations in 2009, he almost gave away the live webcast to the major TV stations. For TV stations, including a certain wave of sports in China, although David Stern is the greatest figure in the internationalization of the NBA, even greater than Jordan and Yao Ming, after all, he grew up in a different age and he still pays more attention to TV broadcasting.
And 2008 was the time when Internet speeds all over the world increased greatly. In 2009, various live broadcasts sprung up. More people watched live broadcasts on the websites of those TV stations than live TV broadcasts, which made those TV stations earn 6 years of blood. Adam Silva, who is still a vice president, has no decision-making power, so after he took office in 2014, he began to talk to the broadcast TV stations about the new contract. After the news of the new contract at the same day price came out, the market value of the nba instantly increased. Turned over several times.
For example, the Russian local tyrants of the Nets spent 410 million to buy 80% of the Nets’ shares in 2010. In 2012, they spent 160 million to buy the remaining 20% ​​of the Nets’ shares. The only owner of the Nets spent a total of 570 million to buy the Nets, and the Nets' market value was 379 million.
The real value of nba teams is usually higher than the market value. For example, the Clippers have a market value of just over 1 billion before they are sold, and they sold for 2 billion when they were actually sold.
By the summer of this year, the NBA’s new broadcast contract was signed, and the Nets’ market value has soared from 420 million in the summer of 2014 to 2.2 billion now, almost fivefold!
The Knicks, which had a market value of 1.4 billion in 2014, have now exceeded 3.3 billion. Although the growth rate is not as terrible as the Nets, his base is large!
The Lakers are now ranked second in the NBA with a market value of 3.1 billion, which skyrocketed almost instantly after the NBA and major broadcasters signed contracts.
Regarding this, Liu Ren smiled triumphantly in his heart. He planned to buy the shares of the NBA team when he first planned the investment direction with the little girl. He had known that the market value of the NBA team would rise sharply.
Late in the regular season of last season, before the stock market crash, he asked the little girl to dump all the stocks. Sure enough, just as Liu Ren remembered, it didn’t take long for the stocks of a domestic video website that made money for the car gimmick. It plummeted, and Liu Ren seized the opportunity when the stock rose from RMB 24 to RMB 197 from October 2014 to April 2015, and invested $3 million from Nike in 2014-2015. Finally, Soared to more than 27 million US dollars.
At the end of the regular season last season, the little girl bought 2% of the shares he held from the Chinese shareholders of the Lakers for $28 million, because the shares were purchased in the name of the company and the share was too small. , And did not attract much attention.
This Chinese shareholder bought a 4.5% share from the Magician for 20 million in 2010. After selling a small half in the past five years, he made a profit of 8 million.
Moreover, the news that Liu Ren got from the little girl about the purchase of this share was led by Jenny Buss, which Liu Ren never understood.
But making money is justice! Less than half a year after the purchase, the 28 million yuan rose to more than 62 million yuan. It was just a fixed asset, which made Liu Ren lose the pleasure of counting money.

It is basically impossible for the Timberwolves to beat the Lakers, so the atmosphere of this game is very relaxed.
Garnett and Kobe have a very good relationship. Liu Ren was taken by Kobe to meet the four big men during the Nets Big Four. Although Garnett later smashed Liu Ren, he now sees Liu Ren fart behind. Following the leaping Korver, Garnett immediately gave Liu Ren a small punch in the chest.
"You Lakers are really all actors next to Los Angeles!" Garnett said angrily.
"That's you guys stupid." Liu Ren always looks like he owes him when he is proud.
"You kid... I really want to go back five years ago. I will definitely overthrow your Lakers." Garnett couldn't get angry when he saw Liu Ren's virtue.
"How? I am envious of seeing us win the championship, right? If you agreed to come to the Lakers 8 years ago, we traded you with Bynum and Paul with Brown. You can still win the championship easily, maybe three consecutive championships. , And maybe we will become teammates now. The first person in the history of the Lakers will now take you old men to win the championship. The Lakers will not trade you to change draft picks." Said.
Garnett was indeed a bit regretful when he heard Liu Ren's words. After the Celtics became famous, he really thought that if he partnered with Kobe, would his career become greater? In that case, there would be no Celtics opponent, and the Lakers had no opponent from 2008 to 2010.
However, Garnett is still very satisfied with his choice: "What you said is tempting, but time will not go backwards. I am very satisfied with my current results. People always have to be a little regretful, so that we can have more Many things to remember."
The old man is the old man, and Liu Ren is really... speechless for someone who has achieved this kind of dream to the point of no dream!
When Kobe heard that he had been playing with the Lakers for the 20th year, he suddenly stopped arguing with Liu Ren, so he came to Garnett, who is also the king of trash talk, and talks about him. Who knows this guy is better than Kobe Be open-minded.
Liu Ren said he was boring, but he was also very emotional.
The pre-match ceremony for today’s game is relatively long. One very important reason is that the Lakers have to accept the flag-raising ceremony of the championship flag and the championship ring award!
Nash, one of the current advisors of the Lakers, also came to the scene to accept the championship ring. Henry, who was supposed to be training in the Development League, also came. Jeremy Lin went to the Hornets, so he had to take the ring with the Hornets next time.
After five years, the Staples Center once again raised the championship flag, and it was the seventeenth championship flag that tied the Celtics. The fans on site were very enthusiastic, including following Garnett to watch the game. The Timberwolves fans are cheering for the Lakers, because 5 of the 17 championship flags above the Lakers arena were obtained in Apolis, Minnesota, which is now the city where the Timberwolves are located. They also have special features for the Lakers. Feelings.
The championship rings are the basic funds provided by the NBA for making diamond rings. The money they provide is almost enough to make 20 diamond rings that do not lose NBA face. Generally speaking, the bosses of each team will pay their own money to make a luxurious version. The championship diamond ring, such as the local tyrant such as the Mavericks owner Cuban. In 2011, he paid 5 million dollars for the team’s players and staff to create the most luxurious championship ring in NBA history, especially the team. Players, coaches, and assistants have championship rings worth up to $200,000.
Because the Lakers have won too many championships in the past, of course it is impossible to be such a loser. Previous championship rings were relatively ordinary.
But this seventeenth championship, tying the Celtics and becoming the championship with the most championships in NBA history, the Bath family is also bleeding money, unlike the previous diamonds, this time it is on the general championship ring. Inlaid with 17 50-point carat diamonds, surround the Lakers icon!
The value of the 17 diamonds alone is estimated to exceed $200,000!
This makes the Lakers’ newcomers envious. They all know that even if the Lakers defend their title this year, the future championship diamond ring will not be as luxurious as this year’s, because this championship is more meaningful than other championships. The meaning of the championship is much. After being suppressed by the Celtics for 50 years, it finally managed to tie the number of Celtics championships. This meaning is irreplaceable by future champions.
Especially Ci Shiping, the championship ring he won with the Lakers 5 years ago was a 75-point diamond ring in the middle of the Lakers logo~EbookFREE.me~ Now there are 17!
"How much money can this sell..." Ci Shiping couldn't help but mutter.
Liu Ren, who happened to receive the ring and walked back to the team, heard Ci Shiping’s words, and his head was full of black lines. He still remembers that Ci Shiping sold it only a year after winning the championship. He wanted to sell again. The championship ring thing...

The awards were presented and the flag was raised, and the fans cheered loudly, but in a private room in the Staples Center, some people were gloomy.
Rivers and Ballmer, the head coach, CEO and owner of the Clippers.
"Doug, you want to cover the Lakers championship flag this year, and you need another poster." Ballmer didn't know whether he was mocking or stating.
Rivers looked even more ugly. He came to the Clippers for two years and was easily defeated by the Lakers in the playoffs for both years. He won only one game in 9 games. This made him very shameless. He came to the Clippers back then. At that time, vowed to make the glory of the Staples Center belong to the Clippers. At that time, the Lakers were at the bottom of the valley, and Rivers had that confidence.
But I didn't expect the Lakers to bottom out as soon as they hit the bottom, and rebounded to the point where they could hit the first in history.
Rivers had no words to refute Ballmer's words.
Seeing the Lakers took the championship ring, raised the championship flag and cheered loudly, and Kobe expressed the championship speech on behalf of the Lakers, this scene made Ballmer goose bumps.
Ballmer was never a Lakers fan, and even hated the Lakers as much as Rivers, otherwise he would buy the Nets, which are all big city teams, and the Nets were cheaper at the time, and the Russian tyrants were also eager to shoot.
"No, I don't want my team to stay in this arena!"
Ballmer shouted suddenly, startling Rivers.
