"Come on, come on, come on..." When the MC in the Qingdao Division shouted this cheering slogan hard, no fans could respond, and the huge stadium suddenly seemed a little quiet. At that time, Nanjing Tongxi Men's Basketball Team, which was set as the "home team", was already nearly 20 points behind.
htmlOn June 20, CBA League officially kicked off the restart of the rematch. CBA company chairman Yao Ming personally supervised the opening game of the rematch between Nanjing Tongxi Men's Basketball Team and Zhejiang Guangsha Men's Basketball Team . In the end, Zhejiang Guangsha easily defeated Nanjing Tongxi 112 to 95."What is the impact of empty court effects on the game and sponsors worldwide? No one knows." As CBA CEO Wang Dawei said, the league made many attempts before the game, hoping to create a "home atmosphere". However, reality is a little bit skinny than imagined.
When the fans sat in front of the TV and sighed excitedly, "Basketball is finally back", the plush toys left on the scene and the "cloud audience" on the big screen could not make up for the lack of atmosphere brought by the empty scene, which also became a trace of regret after the rematch. The silence ceremony before the
CBA game.
Yao Ming supervised the battle, the opening ceremony of the opening battle is simple and warm
"There is a kind of power that no one can resist, it never gives up, it is born stubborn, there is an ideal that illuminates the confusion, and in that place full of glory..." In the past few months, the song "Born to Be Stubborn" by the music group "Southern and North Battle" has almost sung throughout the Chinese land. Before the opening of the
CBA rematch, this exciting melody sounded again, in conjunction with the wonderful shots of fighting the epidemic and confrontation in the CBA rematch promotional video, as if interpreting the sentence Yao Ming repeatedly emphasized - "The CBA rematch has far-reaching strategic significance for comprehensively promoting the resumption of work and production and restoring the order of life, and its social impact has exceeded the basketball itself."
Indeed, the ability of CBA to return to the life of fans is inseparable from the selfless efforts of every medical worker in the past few months. It is also because of this that in the brief opening ceremony of the Qingdao competition area, the CBA company arranged for all the players and staff to watch a minute of silence for the martyrs and deceased compatriots who died in the new crown pneumonia epidemic. According to the arrangements of the CBA League, there will be such a silence ceremony in each of the five games on June 20.
Yao Ming and the staff around him pay tribute to the heroes of the fight against the epidemic. After the silence ceremony of
, many media reporters and staff from Qingdao competition area suddenly pointed the camera lens and mobile phone lens at the same position in the high-rise stand. Yao Ming was standing next to the broadcast camera, looking quietly at the stadium.
He was wearing a mask, and there was still a serious emotion between his eyebrows. It is not difficult to imagine that this opening game must be played well and the restart of the entire CBA league's rematch will be considered a real first step.
Immediately afterwards, CBA launched a tribute to the "anti-epidemic heroes". Everyone clenched their fists on the spot and crossed their arms with the people around them. Even Yao Ming made the same gesture to express his determination to "recover".
"The whole ceremony is indeed quite warm." In such an environment, many media reporters on the scene sighed. Fans who follow the CBA League also left similar feelings on social networks, "Salute, CBA has done a good job, it's not just a sports game."
dolls and jerseys are still difficult to make up for the atmosphere on the scene
"Basketball is finally back." "After waiting for so many months, I can finally watch my own live broadcast." "The days when there are games are really good"...
On the day of the CBA restart, the circle of friends of those sports fans was almost flooded with such "celebration".
For viewers in front of the TV or in front of online videos, the CBA after the rematch is actually not much different from the games before the outbreak of the epidemic. It is just that the broadcasting shots of that swept through the audience cannot see the fans' faces, and are replaced by plush toy dolls and support jerseys from different sports leagues.
However, when you are on the scene, you will truly feel that the atmosphere of empty games is too different from the past.
"Everyone knows the importance of home court advantage, and the enthusiasm of fans actually helps the team a lot."Wang Dawei told the reporter of The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) before the rematch that CBA companies insist on designing "home and away games" in match-based games, in order to maintain fairness in the second and even the third stage.
After all, if a team with good record cannot have some "home advantage" in the "single-elimination system" game, then the foundation laid in the first half of the season is also a not fair performance.
However, when the game really starts, it is really not easy to create a "home atmosphere" in the empty court.
The empty atmosphere needs to be adapted, and CBA will try more html l2
In the stadium of Qingdao competition area, CBA company set up a huge screen behind the recording station. During the game, CBA offline partners will invite "cloud fans" to watch online in real time through 5G technology. However, the large screen of the "audience seat" composed of 57 split screens was not "full" from beginning to end.
Interestingly, during the game between Nanjing Tongxi and Zhejiang Guangsha, a Liaoning fan wearing the Zhao Jiwei jersey occupied the C position of the "audience seat", and even held the cheering card of the Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, as if "entering in a random way". For such a game, the atmosphere at the scene is still pretty good. If you set up home and away games, empty games will have some impact on the players in the atmosphere. "Nanjing Tongxi coach Cui Wanjun also admitted to the reporter of The Paper after the game that it is really difficult to help the "home team" mobilize enthusiasm and excitement faster.
The details in a game also confirm Cui Wanjun's feelings. When Li Hongpeng, the No. 7 of Nanjing Tongxi, made three consecutive three-pointers to help the team narrow the gap to 4 points, only the teammates on the bench were shouting on their "home court". Such an atmosphere is indeed incomparable to the cheers of tens of thousands of home fans in the past.
In fact, as a real home team, Qingdao men's basketball coach Wu Qinglong said, "After all, Qingdao fans cannot come to the scene to cheer for us in the empty game. They can only cheer at home, which will have a certain impact. "
As the game deepened, the big screen where "cloud fans" watched the game was full. How to create an atmosphere in an empty field has become a new proposition. As the event gradually deepened that day, when the Xinjiang team appeared, the "audience seats" on the big screen were also full. It can be seen that everyone began to adapt slowly.
, especially after all the games in the Qingdao region on the first day of the rematch, players on both sides lined up, stood in the center of the stadium, bowed to the camera, and thanked all the fans for their support.
This is just the first step in the rematch of the empty field, and the CBA is still making more efforts, as Wang Dawei, CEO of the CBA company at the Qingdao region said, "We will make more attempts. ”
