And on the day of the match, I arrived at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.


It is a venue where not only NBA but also NHL games and concerts are held.


The Lakers' Legends Covey Bryant and Magic Johnson's bronze statue became a good commemorative shooting spot.


Please note that bags such as backpacks can not be brought into the event at Staples Center.


However, I was able to enter the inspection by being inspected by the security check near the gate and getting the designated tape rolled up.


After receiving the security check, you must enter immediately. If you inadvertently walk in the opposite direction, you need to be careful as it will be reluctant to be re-checked, as a strong security guard will be told that "check is invalid" and the tape will be broken.


As I passed through the gate I became a sports bar.


It is seated by saying that. Enjoying the game even from the third floor seat was enough. The seat which was about 50% frozen at the game start time was filled with a large crowd full enough for the 4th quarter to realize the popularity of NBA's popularity.


The game which seemed to be the victory of the Lakers with a maximum 22 points in the middle of the third quarter became an urgent game which became a great battle with equal points by three points difference and one shot how much in the last minute.


The Lakers who shunned in spite of it, the game ended receiving the cheers of the local fans. It was exciting to the power of the raw NBA that I felt at home, and it was a great satisfaction watching of the state.
