Chapter 29 Amway Center,
The next day, Wu Feng got up very early. The reason was that there was a very important event this morning - a press conference for the opening of the Magic Team's New Arena and the Amway Center Arena.
Although he has not trained in the Magic's new stadium Amway Center, Wu Feng and his teammates have been there once. When he went in to watch the new stadium, Wu Feng had only one feeling, that is, it was spectacular.[]
After quickly washing up, Wu Feng made some simple breakfasts by himself. After finishing breakfast, Wu Feng looked at the time and it was exactly eight o'clock.
"I'm going to train in the new stadium today, it's so exciting!" Wu Feng walked out of the door and walked towards the Magic Team's new stadium.
Although the new stadium is located in the center of Orlando, Wu Feng lives just between the old stadium and the new stadium, so Wu Feng only needs to spend a little more time than usual to arrive at the new stadium.
This was what Carl Davis considered when renting a house. He knew that the Magic would move into the new stadium at the beginning of the new season, so he found such a convenient place for Wu Feng.
Wu Feng walked on the straight Florida Highway 4, heading towards downtown Orlando, with traffic flowing.
From exit 82b, the first traffic light turns left, and a translucent glass-framed building stands in front of you. This new Orlando landmark is bathed in the golden sunset and exudes endless vitality.
This is the most beautiful fairy tale castle in Orlando - Amway Center Arena.
Amway Center Arena is the only one among all NBA stadiums that has been recognized by Leed (World Energy and Environmental Design Organization).
This latest fantasy castle in the league, the main stadium alone costs US$380 million, plus the supporting training hall and fan entertainment area, the overall cost is US$480 million, making it the most expensive stadium in the United States to date.
The Amway Center Arena was officially opened to the public on September 24. The celebration lasted for ten days until October 4, yesterday. After ten days of celebration, the Magic held today's press conference, and the Magic became the first professional team to use this venue.
Since the staff are still staff of the old stadium, they naturally knew Wu Feng. Wu Feng entered the Amway Center Stadium without encountering any obstacles. At this moment, there were already many people in the Amway Center Stadium. In addition to Magic Team players such as Wu Feng, there were also some reporters and famous people who came to visit.
Wu Feng and his teammates have visited the Amway Center Arena. The most distinctive thing about Amway Center is the Magic Dressing Room. At the door of the locker room is the VIP dining area. As long as fans holding season tickets and side tables can specially divide a fan mix area next to the restaurant to meet their idols.
The Magic team members will pass through that aisle. Before and after the game, they will stop and sign autographs for the fans as long as they have time. Every night, the fan mixing area will be the most lively place.
After the game, you can also watch the post-match press conference of head coach Stan Van Gundy while eating delicious food through the high-definition LED display directly in front of the restaurant. There are 1,100 such displays in the Amway Center. When waiting for the elevator, going to the toilet, taking the elevator... Even if you are not on the court, you can learn about the latest happenings all the time. The fan interaction area is not only on the Magic side, but also on the visiting team locker room on the other side.
On the double leaf door leading to the physiotherapy room in the locker room, there is a golden O'Brien Cup on the left, and on the right, there is a philosophical saying by Aristotle: Excellence is a work of art that is won through training and habits, and we must do it repeatedly. Therefore, excellence is not an act, but a habit.
Above the door is the Magic's "Champion Formula", which is divided into five layers, "hard training", "faith" and "always ready" are all placed at the bottom. On the upper two layers, there are "focus", "selflessness" and "smart", the two pieces on the second layer are "toughness" and "sharing joys and sorrows", and the top one is "best performance".
The main hall is spacious and bright, and a smoking area is specially arranged at the end of the right. After the game starts, a dedicated staff member is responsible for checking tickets here and pressing an amway on the back of each fan who goes out to smoke.
The road in the smoking area is closed every night and becomes a valet parking area, which becomes a luxury car show. Porsche 911 and Ferrarik are parked outside, and the inside belongs to Bentley and Maybach, which occupy two parking spaces.
This is what makes the Magic’s new stadium, Amway Center stadium special.
It is not only the most luxurious and grand stadium in the league, but also the most innovative stadium in the league.
Wu Feng walked for a long time before coming to the locker room. At this moment, there were already several players in the locker room. Although the door was closed, Wu Feng had already heard their play.
After knocking on the door, Wu Feng shouted to his teammates in the locker room: "Hey, there are so many beautiful reporters coming out, come out and see!"
Although the new stadium has been opened to the public, Wu Feng and other Magic players have not yet obtained the key to the locker room. It is necessary to wait until the press conference is completed before Wu Feng and the others can get the key to the locker room.
Before Wu Feng could finish his last sentence, the door of the locker room opened.
"Where is it? Where is the beautiful reporter?" jj-Redick poked his head and looked around.
Wu Feng moved away from JJ-Redick's body and walked in openly.
"Damn it, you Wu, you dare to lie to me!" JJ Redick realized that he had been fooled, so he closed the door and rushed to Wu Feng. Now most of the players in the team get along well with Wu Feng. Here, JJ Redick, Vince Carter, Dwight Howard, Ryan Anderson, Chris Du Hong and Wu Feng have a better relationship.
Wu Feng flashed and avoided jj-Redick's sneak attack.
"Hey, stay away from me! I won't mess with you, go find Chris!" Wu Feng and JJ-Redick joked.
After hearing Wu Feng's words, Chris Du Hong was furious.
"My sexual orientation is very normal!"
Wu Feng curled his lips, "That's not necessarily!"
Just as Chris Duhon wanted to knock on this guy who doubted his sexuality, the door to the locker room was knocked again, Jamal Nelson and other Magic players.
jj Redick knew the grudge between Wu Feng, Chris Du Hong and Jamal Nelson, so he took the initiative to open the door.
After the door opened, Jamal Nelson and other players walked in. After Jamal Nelson came in, the atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became strange and no one spoke.
After a while, all the players of the Magic arrived.
At this time, head coach Stan Van Gundy and general manager Ortis Smith walked in.
"It's time for us to go to the press conference, guys," Ortis-Smith said to everyone.
When everyone heard this, they all stood up, followed Ortis Smith and walked towards the scene at the press conference.
"Damn it, it's another formalistic press conference." Wu Feng muttered a few words in his heart.
There were many reporters at the press conference today, and even several Chinese journalists.
However, there was no chance for Wu Feng and others to speak at today's press conference. They came to go through the motions.
After almost an hour and a half, the entire press conference ended successfully under the ending words of Magic General Manager Ortis Smith. Wu Feng and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the press conference, Wu Feng and other Magic players were fine.
Chapter completed!
