The first obvious thing is the seating arrangement. The NBA auditorium is very close to the venue and looks like it is integrated with the stadium. The CBA has obviously made a very clear connection between the venue and the audience. The division:
First of all, there are advertisements. There are billboards all around, forming a wall between the venue and the audience. And if you look carefully, you can also find that the players of the team are all sitting there. Behind the billboard, it is directly separated from the venue. There is a high step between the player seats and the auditorium, which puts the audience far behind;
Under the basketball stand is the press box. Behind the NBA press box are all auditoriums, but the back of this arena is so empty, why should it be made into an arc-shaped blank space? The auditorium behind the backboard is separated by this large blank space.
Looking back at NBA players, they are completely sitting on the sideline, and the audience behind them is unobstructed.
In addition, the corner of the CBA court is completely empty to form a huge black hole corridor. Although the NBA court is also a passage for players to exit from that angle, if you don’t look carefully, it feels like it is full of people. , and those who have watched the live broadcast have seen the players walking through this aisle. This aisle is very small. For this Guangdong arena, the aisle is at least three times wider than the NBA. It looks empty. .
After talking about the sidelines, let’s look inside the court. What do you think is the most undervalued part of the CBA Arena? Yes, that's the basketball stand. I don't know if the CBA basketball stand is good, but from the look and feel, it's too low. It looks so thin, especially with this super earthy paint scheme. There is also the timer on the backboard, what is that? I have always felt that the CBA's square timer is particularly unstable. When I watch CBA games, when there is a slam dunk, the timer on it swings so much that I'm afraid it will break and hit the players. Then there is still a color problem, the green one The numbers are so ugly, who designed the red and green ones?
One more thing about the basket, this basket sounds very unstable! I watched a game yesterday. One team shot a three-pointer, but it missed and hit the basket. The basket actually made a huge noise, the kind of sound that should be caused by loose screws oscillating back and forth! This kind of sound is also very damaging to the perception!
There is also the floor. I don’t know what kind of floor the CBA uses, but the NBA seems to have strict requirements on the floor. As a layman, it seems that the CBA floor is poorly reflective.
During NBA broadcasts, you can often see the floor reflecting the light from the technical table screen, as well as the arena surround screen, the central large screen, etc. I specifically found several CBA venues to watch, and basically Not being able to see these things may also be one of the problems that affects the visual perception.
Secondly, let’s talk about our Wukesong Arena. You said that the CBA doesn’t have that much money to build and maintain the arena. So as an Olympic venue, there will be no money, right? First of all, I look back at the 2008 Olympic Games. When China VS the United States, the American team often slipped and fell at Wukesong Stadium. Several defenders of the American team were hit several times. I think this should be a floor problem.
