Original title: Curry pays out of his own pocket to support the Spurs to break the home court attendance record and is expected to return tomorrow
Beijing time on January 13, 2023, tomorrow the Warriors will play away against the Spurs, and Stephen Curry is expected to usher in a comeback.
This game has a very special meaning for the Spurs. To commemorate the Spurs' 50th anniversary, tomorrow's game will be played at the Alamo Dome, which has a capacity of 65,000 spectators.
After Curry learned what this game meant to the Spurs, although he was an opponent, he still set up a viewing room out of his own pocket to support the Spurs' attendance and significance.
Curry said in an interview: "It's very special, it's cool to have the opportunity to be part of a record night. I've never been to the Alamo Dome. I used to play at Ford Field in Detroit, and that was during our NCAA game in 2008. It was a wild experience. There will be a little difference in sight, a little different in depth perception, but nothing will prepare you for this atmosphere ... It's kind of like, whenever there's a shot hit or something to cheer on, there's a delayed vibe where you hear the people in the first few rows going crazy, and then there's a feeling like a wave going through the arena.
I've played two games in a dome environment and it's fun. This game must be interesting. I know the Spurs fans are very orthodox, so let's see what the atmosphere is like on the road. They have a real home field advantage and there are so many people. It should be surprising. "
In the end, the Spurs sold 63,592 tickets for the game, setting a new NBA record. The previous all-time record (62,046) was held by the Hawks against the Bulls in 1998.
So far this season, the Warriors are eighth in the West with 20-21 and the Spurs are 14th in the West with 13-29. (Editor: Sheng Zhe)
