Chapter 815: Chapter 815

On Hansen’s second day in Cleveland, his estate received an uninvited guest.

Seeing those wise and familiar eyes across from him, Hansen’s mood instantly soared to extreme happiness.

He almost forgot that the Kings team still had this old acquaintance.

Previously, when Guy confided to him about not being able to stay with the Grizzlies, he recommended the Kings to Guy, jokingly saying to become a "real king."

Unexpectedly, as time passed, Guy remained with the Kings to guide newcomers, and now he reunited with Hansen in the Kings.

This was equivalent to Guy paving the way for him.

However, Guy didn’t come alone; he brought Mitchell with him as well.

Just as Hansen finished catching up with Guy, Mitchell, like a cheetah waiting for a long time, couldn’t wait to speak: "Hansen, when do we start training?"

Hansen was momentarily taken aback by the question.

It wasn’t his first encounter with Mitchell. Last year, when hosting his personal training camp, Mitchell had left a very deep impression on him.

Although the Kings had their best performance in recent years last season, they still didn’t make it to the playoffs. Now, Mitchell must be impatient.

"Donovan, Hansen just got here." Guy reminded.

At this moment, Hansen turned his head and looked at Guy with surprise.

There was a time when Guy played the role of Mitchell, and now the roles were reversed.

But this was understandable; even a block of wood could gain insight given enough time.

"Perfect, let’s go check out the arena." Hansen nodded.

The Kings’ new home court was put into use two years ago, and counting the visits, Hansen had been there only twice before, making it still quite fresh to him.

From the suburbs to the city center was a bit of a drive, but luckily this wasn’t Los Angeles, so there wasn’t much traffic along the way.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of Golden One Arena.

This brand-new arena cost 570 million US Dollars to build, making it the most [unique] arena in the NBA.

The uniqueness lies in that it is the only arena in the NBA fully powered by solar energy, its exterior covered with numerous solar panels.

Moreover, the entire arena boasts excellent light exposure, with a retractable glass roof that makes it feel like you’re still outdoors.

The entrance is adorned above with six large foldable glass panels that can be remotely controlled for natural air circulation.

However, beyond its architectural style, the arena’s most striking feature is its technological appeal, earning it the nickname "Technology Museum" of the NBA.

Guy, having played here for three years, led Hansen inside and introduced him along the way.

It has the most powerful Wi-Fi, with a download speed 17,000 times faster than a typical home network.

When Guy mentioned this number, Hansen was momentarily stunned. Although he felt the fast internet speed on his phone here before, the number seemed rather exaggerated.

This means a small film that would take an hour to download at home with throttled speeds could be done in seconds here.

Talking about technology, Hansen felt its presence during games, as the general LED screens are usually four-sided, but here the screens are interwoven from various angles to accommodate views from all directions.

Now being the off-season, the arena wasn’t open to the public, but after Guy greeted the security at the entrance, they were allowed in. Thıs content belongs to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵

"That’s Tony, he’s been working here for almost 30 years, about as old as me." Guy introduced to Hansen as they entered.

The lights inside were already on, but it felt stuffy since the air conditioning wasn’t turned on.

However, standing at the entrance, another unique feature of the arena was clearly visible.

Different from most arenas, the entire first floor is submerged.

They had entered from ground level, but now they were standing at the top of the first floor.

This means that the actual game is played underground.

Previously during games, it didn’t feel so significant, but now looking down from the top, it indeed felt like a Roman Arena.

Guy then remembered something and took out his phone to have Hansen download an app, and then he demonstrated it.

This app allows placing orders, buying tickets, pre-booking parking, scanning electronic tickets, displaying the best route to seats once inside, ordering from vendors or having refreshments delivered to seats, watching replays and player stats, and even monitoring restroom queues!

Now Hansen understood why the venue needed such a powerful Wi-Fi. Without it being strong enough, network congestion with so many people would be inevitable.

Guy even showcased another powerful feature of the app to Hansen on the spot.

He could directly pair with the seat to adjust the air conditioning underneath!

This means each seat has an air vent beneath it, effectively making each one an independent air conditioning system.

Now this truly filled the arena with a sense of advanced technology.

To be honest, Hansen really felt like he was back in the pre-rebirth world.

Following Guy’s lead, they next visited the VIP restaurant, which remained open to the public during the off-season.

When Hansen appeared, he caused quite a stir among the on-site staff.
