As we all know, while team strength is the most important factor in winning a game, we can't ignore those key off-field factors. In the case of the NBA, the reason why championship-winning teams will go on a rampage in the regular season is that they compete for home field advantage in the playoffs, especially in the eyes of those teams that have the devil's home field, which can definitely improve the winning rate by at least 10%. So let's take a look at the devil's home stadium that has been circulating in the NBA for a long time, and give them a grade by the way.
Class A: Thunder Ford Center
Don't look at the current Thunder is very far from the playoffs, but it has one of the league's die-hard fans, whenever the game starts, you can almost only see a blue and white ocean at the Ford Center home, and the deafening "OKC" is the nightmare of many away teams. In addition, the Thunder home also arranged them to the haunted hotel when entertaining the guest team, in this case, the guest team did not say that they played well, and even a good night's sleep was a luxury.
S Class: Raptors Canada Route Arena, Warriors Oracle Arena
As the only designated NBA team in Canada, the Raptors can be said to carry the hope of fans across Canada. So in the Raptors Canada Route Stadium, at a glance, it is extremely fanatical Raptors fans cheering and shouting, and the posture is eager to scare the opponent alive with a roar. Located in Canada, the Raptors' home stadium is also famous for its boats and cars, and the away team not only has to endure the torture of long-distance flights, but also listens to the noise during the game, which is really difficult to stand.
The power of Warriors fans must have been seen, and when they were at home or oracle center, they left a lot of brilliant records, especially in terms of shouting. According to equipment records, Warriors fans once set a noise record of 143 decibels, which is louder than the takeoff of a large plane. Although the Warriors have now moved to the Chase Center, it is only a matter of time before it becomes the next Devil's home in terms of the power of Warriors fans in the Black Eight and Five-Year Triple Crowns.
SS level: Green Army TD Garden Arena, Pepsi Center Arena
Thanks to their long history, the Celtics can be said to have bred a wave of enthusiastic loyal fans, even if you are a superstar with a global reputation, you can only come here to get booing. However, the most devilish place in the home of the Green Army is also its omniscient tricks, the locker room has moved its hands and feet, the stadium floor is full of various traps, and the basketball is not known in which direction it will be played, which is also the biggest reason why the away players are struggling in TD Garden.
Compared to the TD Garden above, the Nuggets' home Pepsi Center doesn't have any fanatical fans and insidious pitfalls, but this arena has a unique advantage, that is, it is located at an altitude of 1606 meters above sea level in the Colorado Plateau. Every team that comes here to challenge the Nuggets will invariably encounter an incredibly suffocating altitude sickness, and the most terrifying thing is that the Nuggets have always been known for their fast-paced playing style, and the fainting altitude sickness and the bombardment of the ball style make it difficult for opponents to break through the Pepsi Center.
SSS Class: Jazz Energy Program Arena
The altitude of Pepsi Center is scary enough, right? So what happens to the conditions of the Colorado Plateau plus the top few fanatical fans in the United States? The Utah Jazz have such a terrifying home advantage. Due to the existence of the Mormons and the team's tough style, Jazz fans are simply to the point of not dying with the visiting team, the regular season is fine, and when it comes to the playoffs, that is, the real omnipotence, noise, or insults, can make the visiting players unable to focus on the game, not to mention the impact of the scarcity of plateau air. If you want to win from the Jazz's home court, there is no way to talk about it without shedding the skin.
