Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 49 The Audience Enters
The Old Oakland Arena is located in the heart of the "San Francisco-Oakland" region, the sixth largest metropolitan area in the United States, facing the San Francisco Bay in the west, Berkeley, a famous university city in the north, and facing San Francisco across the sea.

However, compared with such a huge metropolitan area, the old and small Old Oak Arena is very eye-catching and looks a bit out of place.

"Lao Li, let's go first. It's different from your front row tickets. We have to go to the back." Lao Wang dressed in a jersey with several Asian faces said goodbye to Li Wantang at the entrance of the gymnasium.

It was not easy for a Chinese player to stand on the NBA stage and play in front of his home. Under Lao Wang's appeal, a group of people in Chinatown immediately responded.

Suffering from discrimination, they especially need a symbol that can be recognized by the mainstream society. When they are in a hurry to go to the doctor, they see Li Weisi who has performed well at this time, and they naturally regard him as the backbone.

After parting with his old buddy, Li Wantang looked around the arena, and couldn't help but sigh: "This gym is not very good!"

"Uncle, this gymnasium is about to catch up with your age, can it not be old?" Li Weiguo on the side hurriedly stopped Li Wantang's behavior, and changed the topic: "Uncle, Weisi is really amazing now, today's newspapers are full of His news is almost blowing him to the sky."

"Hahaha, yes, this kid just played a good game, and the newspaper is full of bragging. When I read what was written in the newspaper, I wondered, is it about my son?" Li Wantang smiled. Why can't it be covered.

Li Weisi gave Li Wantang three tickets, hoping that his father could come to the stadium to watch his game.

Although Li Wantang has always paid attention to Li Weisi's football games, in fact he never even watched them live. When Li Weisi was in school, Li Wantang felt that Li Weisi was not doing his job properly. Although he was thinking about it tightly, he still never went to watch the game, hoping that his son would change his mind. .

Now, the past suspicions have been cleared up, and his son has made a lot of money again. Li Weisi is not happy, so he simply closed the restaurant and brought Aunt Niu and nephew to the arena to cheer for his son.

Yesterday's game against the Suns was groundbreaking. For Warriors fans, happiness came too suddenly.

As one of the first 11 teams to join the NBA, the Warriors can be said to be full of honors.

Won the championship 3 times, the first championship winner in NBA history is the Warriors, and has maintained the NBA single-game record of 100 points, which was obtained by Wilt Chamberlain when he was in the Warriors.

It's just that the most recent championship was already 11 years ago. In the 80s, the Warriors swooped all the way to the bottom. It has been 10 consecutive years that they have not even touched the door to the playoffs.

Compared with the glory of the past, today's warriors have sunk for too long, and no one knows how long they will sink.

Oh, no, it seems that there is one person who should know.

The fans are looking forward to getting a savior from the draft to lead the team out of the misery, but what the fans get is one disappointment after another.

At this year's draft, the fans were once again disappointed, no, it should be said that they were almost desperate.

As a native of Golden State, Li Weisi didn't pay much attention before this year, but the outstanding performance of the NCAA still made many Golden State fans remember this yellow-skinned Golden State magic boy.

However, due to various reasons such as skin color and physical fitness, everyone is not optimistic about his achievements after entering the NBA. Prejudice is a mountain in people's hearts, especially racial discrimination.

It's just that the thick fog that shrouded the hearts of the fans was dispelled by yesterday's game. Li Weisi's unexpected performance, coupled with the team's other outstanding performances, made the fans finally have the courage to look forward to the new season .

So, for the first home game of the new season today, tickets suddenly became tense, and the price was even higher under the hype of the American scalpers. They lamented that happiness came too suddenly.

Li Wantang was a little uncomfortable with the crowded shoulders when he entered the arena.

After coming to the United States for so many years, he seldom went to crowded places. His low self-esteem is a symbol engraved in his bones. Even if his son is now a millionaire, it is still difficult to change.

"Sorry!" A crisp voice sounded beside Li Wantang. It turned out that a little girl who looked about 10 years old had guessed his feet.

"It's okay! Son, where are your parents? There are so many people, be careful not to get lost." Li Wantang smiled and said in his broken English.

"They buy beer over there! Of course, they only buy it for themselves." The little girl pointed at the counter and pouted.

Following the little girl's finger, Li Wantang looked over, and for a moment, his whole body froze.

"Hey, Candice, don't run around!" A gorgeously dressed white woman stopped the little girl, but when she saw Li Wantang next to the little girl, her expression was a little unnatural.

"Hi, Tang, long time no see!" But in an instant, the woman recovered and greeted Li Wantang pretending to be generous.

"Long time no see, Teresa!" Li Wantang also recovered and greeted.

Yes, it was Li Weisi's mother's family who came here. They also got the tickets from Li Weisi. They had never seen Li Weisi on the spot. This time, they finally put down their work and decided to come and see Li Weisi's first game Xiu, but never thought that Li Weisi also called his biological father.

"Don, this is my daughter Candice, and this is my husband Antoine Schwinger." Teresa introduced her husband, who came to her with a beer, to her ex-husband.

"Antoine, this is West's father, my ex-husband."

"Hello there!"

"Hello there!"

The two fellow travelers shook hands and greeted each other.

At the same time, Li Wantang also introduced Aunt Niu and his nephew Li Weiguo to An Tuowan. Of course Teresa met Li Weiguo, but An Tuowan met for the first time.

When Antoine and Teresa got married, they also sent invitations to Li Wantang, but Li Wantang did not attend the wedding.

Nonsense, who would go to his ex-wife's wedding?He's not Zhang Yida, and he doesn't have that hobby.

"Are you my brother's father? It doesn't look like it at all!" Candice's words pierced into Li Wantang's heart like a thorn, making the few people who had nothing to talk about look a little embarrassed.

"Candice, you can't be so rude!" Antoine taught Candice a lesson, and quickly said to Li Wantang: "Sorry, the child is still young, so he doesn't know how to speak."

"It's ok."

"West is outstanding, and you will always be his father, after all, his last name has never changed." Antoine said generously, "Sorry, the game is about to start, so we will leave first. "

After speaking, Antoine took Candice's hand and left with Teresa.

"Goodbye, uncle!" Candice, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, couldn't help turning her head and waving goodbye to Li Wantang when her father pulled her away.

Li Wantang waved goodbye to the family of three who was also thinking of leaving.

"Uncle..." Li Weiguo said with concern.

"It's okay, let's go too!"

It's okay, how could it be okay?

Obviously he is his own son, but he can't live with him, and seeing him once in a while is like being a thief, thinking about this and that, how can there be such a father.

Obviously, the wife I am married to is now calling someone else's husband and has a daughter. Look at the exquisite dress she wears, and then look at my wrinkled gray suit that has been washed for a long time. It was the right choice for his son to live with them, but the pain in his heart has increased day by day for so many years.

After all, I can't bear to bear my son!
Li Weiguo, who sees everything in his eyes, also understands that his uncle's calm appearance is not peaceful in his heart.

The family of three enjoyed themselves happily, but what about my uncle?Nearly half a hundred years old, still alone, with no one around him who knows what's cold or what's hot.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo couldn't help but look at Aunt Niu at the side. It seemed that his uncle would be happy for the rest of his life, so he had to find her?
There is a saying that all encounters in the world are long-distance reunions, but for Li Wantang, 2 minutes is a long time.

When Li Wantang saw that his seat was next to Teresa's family, he understood everything, and he couldn't help thinking to himself: This son of mine is good at everything, why is he so careless?
