April 15th, 8:30 pm in the United States.
The Ford Center Arena in Oklahoma City, the capital of Oklahoma, was already packed.
No, you can't say it so politely.
It should be said that "there is basically no place to stand."
The Oklahoma City Thunder sold 27,000 tickets to the 19,600-seat Ford Center Arena.
There really wasn't even any gaps left in the corners, they were all filled up.
The lowest ticket price was sold to 10,000 in the name of "Shen Huan's first game back in the NBA".
This is already the first game of Jordan's second comeback.
And now the highest ticket price for the Oklahoma City Thunder has reached 500,000. There are 7 such tickets in total, right behind the Lakers seats.
Basically, if it wasn't for bad luck, Shen Huan would be sitting in front of you.
When he is resting or free, you can still chat with him.
There is no doubt that rich people are not afraid of spending money. These 500,000 tickets were sold early.
Not only these, both cheap and expensive tickets were snapped up online as soon as they went on sale.
CBS made a statistics. From this game alone, the Oklahoma City Thunder's ticket revenue reached 430 million US dollars!
This is like a robbery! !
Although 25%-45% of the ticket revenue must be turned over to the league, the rest is still earned through blood!
But the actual ticket price is even more expensive!
The cheapest scalped tickets on the Internet have now been sold for 15,000 US dollars, and they are basically snatched up as soon as they come out.
Now that the game is about to start in half an hour, thousands of fans are holding signs and walking around the stadium, hoping to buy tickets.
Looking at this scene, the owner of the Thunder team was happy and sad at the same time.
This time the format is that the first two games will be at the Thunder's home court, the next three games will be at the Lakers' home court, and the last two games will be divided into one home court for each team.
If your Thunder team can fight the Lakers for seven fierce games before it ends, and you have at least three games, then you can get 1 billion US dollars just from selling tickets!
Even if 25%-45% is turned over to the alliance, wouldn't it be nice to have 6.7 billion US dollars left
What could be more profitable than this
But the problem is that the Thunder's big result is that they only have opportunities in the first two games, basically cutting off the opportunity to play the sixth game at home.
After all, wanting to fight the Lakers with Shen Huan until the sixth game is something that no team dares to dream of!
At this moment, he was crazy jealous of the Buss family of the Lakers.
Shen Huan will play at least 8 games at Staples Center in the playoffs.
Even if there is no gimmick of "Shen Huan returns to the NBA for the first game" in the future, winning 300 million per game is more than enough.
8 games equals $2.4 billion in ticket revenue!
The Bass family is really lucky to have picked up a money printing press! !
Why was the International Mathematical Olympiad that Shen Huan participated in not in our Oklahoma City
In that case, if Shen Huan comes to our team for trial training and is given to us, then these honors and wealth will be mine!
…
Not to mention Mr. Boss’s envy and hatred.
The lively noise inside the stadium is almost knocking off the roof.
Shen Huan is doing warm-up exercises and shooting practice. Every move he makes can trigger cheers and applause from countless fans.
Even many Thunder fans couldn't help but scream.
Giving Shen Huan praise before the start of the game will not prevent them from cheering for their home team during the game.
The TNT team for this game sent three commentators over at once.
They are Barkley, Kenny Smith and O'Neal.
Judging from the styles of these three people, they are not serious masters of tactical analysis.
Add Van Gundy Jr. to the mix.
The three of them were already chatting excitedly and loudly before the conversation started.
"Tsk, tsk, this arena is about to explode today!" Kenny Smith exclaimed.
"The fans here are so crazy, it reminds me of the time when I won the championship." O'Neal said with envy and hatred, "This kid Shen Huan is so lucky! We are in an era without me, otherwise Shaq would definitely Stop him!"
"hehe!"
Buckley grinned.
Staring at his huge bull's eyes.
O'Neill was furious at first sight, "Charles, what do you mean? Do you think I can't do it?"
"If you can do it, go down and compete with him now." Barkley raised his hand.
O'Neill felt angry for a moment.
I am over 40 years old, how can you ask me to fight with Shen Huan
But he didn't have any way to fight back, "Come on, Charles, let's practice together first, and then I'll go find Shen Huan, how about that?"
"Dream on you!" Buckley sneered and refused.
He had lost the previous few times, but this time he would definitely not seek abuse.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Kenny Smith quickly changed the subject, "Hey, hey, look! In addition to fans, there are many celebrities today!"
Barkley also answered the question smoothly, "Yes! I saw Nicholson just now! It's not easy for the elderly. He is 70 years old and he is still running around watching football games!"
"He only watches the Lakers and Shen Huan's away games, okay?" O'Neal is still very familiar with this old gentleman. "He knows that he has only a few years to sit on the court and watch games, and he knows Shen Huan even more. Maybe after this time, I will never come back again, so I keep coming to see it!”
"It's not just Nicholson. Look, there's Leonardo DiCaprio and his new girlfriend over there, there's Oracle's madman Ellison, and Zuckerberg and his wife, Amazon, who are determined to die. Boss Bezos is also here..." Kenny Smith named a lot of celebrities and rich people.
But O'Neill's attention was not on them. He smiled and said: "You should have seen the female star behind Shen Huan. She is familiar to her, right?"
"Elizabeth Olsen, and Miley Cyrus, oh, and the famous black widow Scarlett..." Buckley, who had seen them for a long time, made an exaggerated expression at this time, "They But there have been scandals with Shen Huan! Miley Cyrus even kissed Shen Huan in public!"
"If you ask me, Shen Huan definitely likes Scarlett more... Wow, look! He and Scarlett are talking and laughing!" O'Neill was obviously jealous.
Although his body and height are the same as Scarlett's, he is a complete version of Beauty and the Beast, but this does not prevent the philanthropic Shark from liking Black Widow.
"Scarlett said last time that if she were 10 years younger, she would definitely conquer Shen Huan!" Kenny Smith chuckled, "Although she is in her thirties now, she is also the most charming one." Age!”
"I agree!" O'Neill raised his thumb, "Not only her, but the two girls next to her are also very beautiful and unique. I like them too!"
"If we go together, I don't know if Shen Huan can handle it." Buckley joked.
"I think he can do it! Because Shaq is so invincible! Shen Huan has my shadow, so he can do it too!" When O'Neal praised Shen Huan, he never forgot to praise himself.
"He is much better than you. At least he dares to marry several people. Can you do it?" Barkley was not convinced by O'Neal. "He is a mathematical genius and a famous mathematician. What about you? In addition to playing basketball, you What can you do?"
"I'll kick your ass! And I won't kiss your ass." O'Neal retorted.
"Ha ha ha ha… "
Kenny Smith laughed next to him.
It's really common for these two people to quarrel whenever they meet.
Don't doubt it.
This is not the first time that this TNT team has made jokes and made noise on the show.
But it works great every time.
For example, now, the number of viewers who are listening to their comments with relish has reached more than 50 million, setting a record before the first round of the playoffs.
It’s a good start!
